3GS cell data off is the only way to preserve battery, what is wrong?

I turned off 3G, push data to once an hour, all location and notification services off, closed all applications, wi-fi off, and the battery drains 1% every 2-3 minutes. Only when I turn cell data off does the drain stop. I'm running the most recent OS as of last week. Any help/suggestions?

There is something stuck in the send queue. You can try the following; one of these will probably work.
Turn the phone off (Hold SLEEP until a slider appears). Then reboot - hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears.
Settings/General/Reset - Reset Network Settings
Settings/General/Reset - Reset All Settings
Restore the phone with iTunes

  • My screen wont turn on, and the screen is black. It was working fine, but then it just turned off. The only way it will work is if I close my laptop, and pinch the two screens together

    You have a hardware problem and you should take it into a apple store to be looked at and fixed.

  • Universal Track Mode? off is the only way to make a bus (stereo) ?

    Is Universal Track Mode? (Off)unchecked, the only way to make a bus (stereo) ?
    In logic 9 is this the case?
    Can someone out there verify this please? Or am I just missing some thing?
    If Universal Track Mode is (ON)checked in the audio preferences tab, all of the bus sends in the send section and the bus output choice in the channel strip output section are only mono?? thanks for any reply.

    I've been using UTM On (the recommended choice) since Logic 4.x and my busses have always been stereo, just fine.

  • What's the best way to preserve battery life?

    I know obviously make sure your backlight isn't always on and keep Wifi off, I've read www.apple.com/batteries throughout.
    I'm talking about preserving the battery itself.
    Like is it better to let the battery run all the way down before you recharge it or charge it as soon as it gets around 40-50% or every couple of days?
    I have my blackberry which I charged every night regardless for months and months and now about a year later, the battery is basically crap and I'm lucky if I don't have to charge it every night now.
    Same concept apply?

    Yup, the backlight is the biggest battery drain.

    Rechargeable batteries don't last forever. I supervise a cell phone repair department. We generally tell customers that, with average use, a battery will last about a year. Heavy users, it can be six months. Many Blackberrys have big screens, too. Over time, no matter what you do, a rechargeable battery will lose capacity and eventually, not hold a charge. At least your Blackberry has a user replaceable battery and you can pick one up for less than $40 dollars!
    Best of luck.

  • What is the recommended way of preserving battery life?

    I'm a bit confused. How do I preserve the battery life for an old (2008-ish) model of a white MacBook?
    Some part of the internet says that:
    Letting the MacBook plugged in to a power outlet even if the battery is full will result in the battery degrading its life (aka do not overcharge the battery because it's bad).
    Another part of the internet says:
    Removing the MacBook's power adapter when the battery is full will result in the battery degrading its life because it will get used more. (aka the battery will be overused because of not running on power adapter which is bad)
    So can anyone clear this up for me? I's really confusing and I need a definite answer, thanks!

  • My ipod starts voicing song data, artist data, and playlist data while I am listening to music.  Is this a feature or a defect?  I do not know why it occurs, but the only way to stop it is to stop the music then play the playlist again.

    To make sure voiceover is off, you need to go to summary screen then click the "Configure Universal Access" button. Then you will get a dialog where you can make sure voiceover is off. All of the boxes in the dialog should be unchecked.

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • TS2755 i need to know how to block someone from sending me txt/imessges and calling me. they have a iphone too so i have been told the only way to block them is to turn off my imessages and only recieve regular txt messages. is there another way to block

    how do u block someone from sending imessages and txt and calling ur phone when they have a iphone also. I have been told the only way is to turn off my imessages and recieve regular text messages.. is there another way?? i have searched for apps and cant find one. neeed help!!!

    There are no apps and that is not a feature of iOS.
    iMessages are handled by Apple's own system, and there is no way to block a specific sender.
    SMS messages and voice calls are handled by your cell service provider, so you need to ask them what blocking (if any) features they offer.  If the texts are just spam, you should be able to report them to your carrier and they can block that sender.  Other blocking options will vary from carrier to carrier, so call yours and ask them what they can do.

  • How do I stop Firefox from creating untitled web pages when I try to send email from a web page. The only way I have found is to turn the computor off and then reboot. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer

    Every time I click on a web site that has an email option the browser starts making untitled web pages and never stops unless I turn the computer off. It is very frustrating to not be able to use an email option when offered by a web site. The only way I can send email messages on the Firefox browser is to go into my hotmail acct. and copy and paste the addresses. I don't have this problem when I use the Internet Explorer browser.

    See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]

    You must restore it, losing anything you have failed to backup or store on your computer or cloud service.

  • Phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on

    hi,
    phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on.
    I purchaged it before one month onl. So i wont understand how it comes. Please help me. I am waiting for you reply.

    "Your face is so ugly, it broke your phone!" Ha ha. Get it? How I was joking there? About your iPhone not working correctly after... <sigh>
    But seriously, you said the situation only happens when you have been on a long call, so maybe the iPhone is just autolockng?

  • Verizon is using the Elipsis tablets to steal data from their customers.  The only way to stop data from registering as cellular data is to pull the SIM card.  This occurs with wifi enabled and cellular,dara disabled.  If,you take your tablet to a Verizon

    Verizon is using the Elipsis tablets to steal data from their customers.  The only way to stop data from registering as cellular data is to pull the SIM card.  This occurs with wifi enabled and cellular,dara disabled.  If,you take your tablet to a Verizonstore they will upgrade your data plan to cover the overage and credit the upgrade.  You will then have to remember to downgrade your plan or continue to pay for more data.  Verizon, how would you feel if I walked into one of your stores and started filling my pockets with merchandise?  If cought can I just give the product back and say "oops, sorry"

    Today, my FCC complaint hit the same person working on the BBB complaint.  Jimmie has been very nice and seems willing to work with this problem.  We have been able to come to an agreement.  I paid the purchase price for the phone and he returned my upgrade and unlimited data plan.  This is what would have occurred if Verizon had given me correct information to begin with.  I am happy with this result.  He also brought quite a few instances concerning the handling of my transfer and upgrade that did not follow proper procedure.  I am also confident that I would not have resolved this without complaining to BBB and or FCC.  Verizon had no interest in solving the problem nor did they show any propensity to keeping a 20 year client.  Even though this last CSR was very polite and helpful, his sole job is to respond to formal Federal and State complaints.  He is required by law to address every complaint and report the reporting agency the agreed upon results - good or bad.  Again, I suggest - If you are not getting the proper customer service, complain to someone outside of Verizon.  Jimmie had not received any complaints registered with Verizon directly and I still have not had any contact with any other management representative that I was told would call.

  • Is unplugging TV-out adapter the only way to turn the second display off

    When the video out adaper is plugged in the iMacs resolution resets to what the TV-out can handle, I.e. 1024x768.
    I hate to have to plug/unplug the connecter to turn the TV-out off and thereby regain normal resolution on the iMac.
    Is that the only way? I was hoping that there is a way to disable the video-out and get the iMac back to normal through software rather than physically pull the plug out to turn it off nd then have to plug it back in when I want TV.
    Same goes for audio out. Any way to turn the external off while it's plugged in?
    TIA

    Try using ScreenSpanningDoctor. It'll let you have different resolutions for the TV out and the iMac, stopping that insane behavior. Also check out the Griffin iMic for your audio out. Using VLC you can select the second screen for video playback and the iMic for audio. Hope this helps. (works great here)

  • IOS6 on iphone 4S. My phone keeps disconnecting from my wifi. I have to input the password each time. The only way i can keep wifi connected is to disable cellular data....what's with this????!!!!!

    I downloaded IOS6. The next day my iphone was not connecting to wifi. I reset network connections...put in my password and voila it worked!....But then it dosconnected again..and again...and again....my wifes iphone 4 is not having this problem and she also installed IOS6. The only way I can stay connected to wifi is if i disable my cellular data. What is going on???...Anyone?......

    Is it a BT Yahoo account? If so, there have been quite a few threads about Yahoo constantly rejecting passwords, with no clear fix.
    That said, I did see someone post that they'd resolved the problem by eliminating any capital letters from the password. After that it stopped asking for passwords and started working, apparently. One or two others tried the 'fix' and seemed to have the same success. At least they haven't come back to say it had gone wrong again.

  • My forwart text feature on IOS 8 keeps disappearing and the only way I know how to make it re-appear is by powering off and on my phone, is there another way to fix this feature?

    my forward text message feature on IOS8 keeps disappearing and the only way I know to make it re-appear is by powering off and on my phone. Is there any other way to fix this?

    I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
    What's the secret?
