My phone is making random calls. anyone know why?
Hi Lmferry,
Sorry to hear that your phone is making random calls. Let's get that issue resolved. It is recommended that you add a lock code to your device to prevent it from making random calls. Please go to Settings> Location and Security> Set Up Screen Lock.
Thanks,

I have an iPhone 4S. Photo stream works for a while but then it will just stop and not upload any photos to iCloud. Rebooting the phone resolves the problem. This happens very often and is frustrating for something that should just work. Once they get uploaded, they are downloaded to other devices without a problem.
Any idea what could be going wrong with it? I hate taking pictures of stuff that I need on my other devices not knowing if they're going to make it there or not.
Thanks!Hey Allistah,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like Photo Stream works but stops and a restart fixes it. A frustrating situation for sure. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iCloud: Get help using My Photo Stream

Close the Camera app on the device that took the photo. Photos won't upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until you close the Camera app.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

I'm not calling these sys calls, anyone knows why they're being called ?
I have simple sample code below. When I compile and check it with truss I get some ioctl and fstat calls that I never used in mycode. How this can be happened?
When I use a similiar code in a production environment (with a lot of connections), there is some significant increase in Kernel sys usage caused by these unknown calls.
code:
fp=fopen("MYFILE","r");
if (fseek(fp, 0L, SEEK_SET) == -1)
printf("err\n");
return(0);
c=fgetc(fp);
fclose(fp);
cc is Forte[tm] Developer 7 EA with latest updates
OS : Solaris 2.7 on Sparc Ultra 10 with lates updates
compile: cc -xdepend -xarch=v9 ./myprog.c
truss -fade ./a.out

0.0312 ioctl(1, TCGETA, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE93C) = 0 -----> WHO'S CALLING

0.0319 fstat(3, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFF8F0) = 0 -----> WHO'S CALLING
0.0323 ioctl(3, TCGETA, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFF82C) Err#25 ENOTTY -----> WHO'S CALLING
0.0327 read(3, " XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX :".., 8192) = 8192

As you can see above figures show that I have a small amount ioctl and fstat64 (tested on 32bit binaries) calls now.
Thanks a lot, -
does anyone know why my iphone keeps switching all of my alert tones and ringtones assigned to contacts? i restored it and it still keeps doing it and now when ever i get a txt or a phone call the tones just sound terrible. how do i fix this?
Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

IPhone4 making random calls when locked
The first that I knew about my iPhone4 making random calls was when I received a call from someone I hadn't spoken to (or tried to ring) for at least 2 years. He said that I had called him. I disagreed as my iPhone had been in my pocket for some time. I had the screen locked (locks automatically after 1 minute and needs a passcode to unlock it). I had not touched my iPhone for several minutes AT LEAST and had not even looked at this person's details in my Contacts for at least 12 months. I checked my Contacts to see whether his details were showing as having been recently viewed in Contacts - no they had not.
I keep my phone updated, usually updating to new software within a day or so of a notification. The software was up to date. That was about a month ago. In the last few days my phone started making voice dialled calls to random numbers while in my pocket. Again the screen was locked and I only became aware of the problem due to the phone "speaking". Again, the phone was locked and hadn't been used for some times. It still needs a passcode to unlock it. I turned the phone off and restarted it after it had been off for about 20 minutes. Shortly after that it made another random call.
I used to work for a Telco and I always disbelieved customers who said that they had not mt made calls that they had been charged for. Now I'm starting to wonder...
Yesterday my iPhone (again keypad locked and in my pocket) started playing music. I could not get it to stop or even unlock my keypad. I had to shut it down completely.
Help please.Hi sandyfromqld,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd recommend backing up and restoring your iPhone to try and eliminate this unexpected behavior:

Just 4 days after having my i6 set up my screen orientation while viewing my pictures and videos has gone sideways or upside down , seems random. Anyone know of a fix?? Just discovered that it won't rotate as expected in other apps either.
Im having a similar issue with my iPhone 6 Plus on iOS 8. My issue is with the home screen and text screen being stuck and or freezing in place. The home screen will flip upside down and stay that way and with my messages if I rotate the phone in landscape view it sometimes stays stuck or freezes in that view. I have to turn my phone off and on to get it back to normal.
I also contacted apple support and they advised me to do a fresh restore which I did with iOS 8 but it still happened shortly after. Apple said that if the problem persists to bring it to an apple store for repair or replacement. Im thinking its a software issue because when I researched it on the internet it appears people with iPhone 5's and 5s's are experiencing the same or similar issues and orientation freezes. I just recently upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 and will monitor it and see if the issue was fixed. So fingers crossed that iOS 8.0.2 fixes it. -
I blocked a lot of different numbers awhile ago but when I checked the blocked numbers today it looked like the same numbers were blocked multiple times. So for example if I blocked phone numbers 555-555-5555, 555-555-5556, and 555-555-5557 on different days it looks like only 555-555-5555 has been blocked 3 different times and I no longer see phone numbers 555-555-5556 or 555-555-5557. Does anyone know why?
Oh dear, one of those phantom disconnections. You know they are actually so common BT have a specialist department that deals with them. I think they are called Priority Back in Service, there is no actual phone number you can ring them on, you have to call 150 as normal and the customer service team are supposed to raise the issue with them to sort out.
You could contact that Mods but they sometimes take 3 days to reply, especially with it being the weekend. -
When receiving an call waiting can't push the hold and answer button.Because: it will put on hold the first caller, answer to the second, but you can't hear the second until you end the first call !!! Anyone has the same problem ? Did anyone know why ?

Does anyone know why a web page would suddenly pop up telling me I have a computer virus and need to call them? When I've called they said they needed access to my computer in order to fix the problem - which I didn't do. Is this legit? An Ad?
That is not legit, it is a scam to gain access to your computer and information.

I just downloaded iOS 6 to my iPhone 4 and all-of-sudden, the camera on the back of my phone isn't working. Anyone know how to fix this?
The SMS links thing is highly annoying. You don't have to copy/paste however. You should see an icon like this: (>) to the right of the text bubble with the link. Tap on that, the in the screen that opens, tap "Visit".
Alternatively, you can tap twice directly on the link, then hold your finger down after the second tap.
Still unnecessarily difficult, but not as bad as copy/paste.
What I don't get is why can't I find any mention of this change or how to fix it (if even possible) elsewhere online? -
I've been receiving text messages on my phone, but for some reason the phone number is not showing up on my bill under the message log. Does anyone know why?
donnagman,
Thanks for the details. All numbers should show up in the message history log, unless you are communicating via iMessage. When texting the numbers that are missing in the message log are you using your normal messaging app on the device or a downloaded app? Have the numbers that are missing been shown in your message log before?

Brand new 5c making random calls and sending emails while locked
my husband's brand new 2 day old 5c is making random calls, facetime calls and sending emails while locked and not in use. i have read that this is an ongoing issue, but have not seen a solution for it. any suggestions?
if you search "random calls" there are several threads, one of which started in 2010. i will try turning off voice dial and hope that solves the issue. will report back tomorrow with an update.
