Advertisement Pushed to my iPhone Lockscreen!!

While visiting in Columbus, OH last week, I looked at my phone to notice this on the lockscreen!
This appeared for about maybe 30 mins to an hour and then turned back into the picture I had there before. I unlocked the phone and relocked and turned the sreen on and off and this advertisement didn't go away until finally on its own randomly. And no, no music or apps were running that would have caused this, I checked. Is this some sort of new advertising scheme Apple or AT&T is rolling out?? If so, it's ridiculous!! It's very invasive and instead of being able to see the picture of my son who was 5 states away at the time I had to deal with some lame advertisement! Someone please explain this!!
Thank you,
-Tim
Edit: When I first noticed it I was logged into the wifi network of a hotel I was staying at but the image remained long after I left the hotel.

Look in the status bar at the top of the screen. See the Arrow? ( > )
That indicates the music app is playing. What you're seeing is the cover art for a song/podcast/whatever called "100 Rebate".
Look through your library and find out what it is. If you were using some kind of streaming music app, it could have come from that as well.

How does push on the iphone work?

I am not sure how the push option is suppose to work. I have an yahoo email account as well that gives me te option to enable push. gmail seems only to have a fetch option. (why not push as well?) Or does push only work with a mobile me account?

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, so if you're asking whether you need to connect the iPhone to your computer's iTunes (if that is where you've downloaded it) in order to get the audiobook on it then yes, you will need to sync it the phone, you can't re-download it on the phone.

Podcast push on my iphone

Hi there,
I would like to get my podcast automatically uploaded (like mail push) on my iphone at a pre determined time of the day. I know it is possible to design a program using the itunes wifi sync tool, but i would like this program to run without needing a connection to my labtop. Ideally, my iphone would upload the podcasts at a certain time just on its own, without opening any applications or anything. Does anyone know how to make that happen? Thank you for your help !

I'm having the same problem, except my phone is an iPhone 5. Hotmail stopped pushing a while back, and I thought it was just me not paying attention, but it seems to have changed to fetching whenever the mail app is active. It's driving me crazy. It is definitely not pushing.

Push Gmail on Iphone ios 7 -- best solution

Perfect solution for Push Gmail on iPhone:
Create a outlook.com email if you don’t already have one www.outlook.com
Log in Gmail, Settings – Forwarding and POP/IMAP – Add a forwarding address – add your outlook.com email – verified – Forward a copy of incoming mail to your outlook.com email and mark Gmail’s copy as read.
Log in Outlook email, click right top gear – More mail settings -- Managing your account – Your email accounts – Add a send-only account – add your Gmail account
click right top gear – More mail settings – Writing email – Reply-to address – Select your Gmail
click right top gear – More mail settings -- Managing your account -- Aliases: manage or choose a primary – Add alias -- Add an existing email address as a Microsoft account alias – Add your Gmail
click right top gear – More mail settings -- Managing your account -- Aliases: manage or choose a primary – select Make Primary for your Gmail
click right top gear – More mail settings -- Managing your account – Your email accounts – Default “From” address – select your Gmail address.
now you can set up in your iphone mail – Outlook.com – enter your Gmail address NAME and your Outlook email PASSWORD.
Done. Now you have push and even when you reply an email from your iphone, the sender will displayed as your Gmail.
Hope you enjoy it!

I have also switched to outlook as a conduit for my gmail. Push works great to my IOS devices and there is also the great benefit of very easy integration with Outlook 2013 on my windows PC. The only small glitch i have found is when an email is forwarded from gmail into the outlook inbox, if I reply-all, it adds my own gmail address to the reply, which then is auto-forwarded back to the outlook inbox when I send it. Pretty sure this is because I'm sending from the outlook account, but the gmail address was the original recipient. Minor hassle but seems worth it given all the other benefits. Any ideas on a solution?
I ran the outlook tool to import all my historical email from gmail into my outlook.com account. It worked quite well, but one question. In addition to recreating folders that lined up with my gmail labels, it also created an outlook "category" with the same name as my gmail address. And it populated that category (at least I think so) with every email from my gmail account. I think this may essentially be the all-mail from gmail, but does anyone know what's going on with this? I'm not at all familiar with outlook categories. I actually had two gmail accounts, imported them both, and it created two categories, one for each gmail address. If I just delete those categories, will it affect the way my emails appear and the folders that were created? The categories only appear when I'm on line at the outlook.com site. No sign of them in the iOS devices or when using Outlook 2013.
Also, per the original instructions above, what does step 4 do?
"4. click right top gear – More mail settings – Writing email – Reply-to address – Select your Gmail"

Push email on iphone 4

I registered my school email on my iphone 4 and chose the push email setting yet it seems like its not working. Anybody have any advice on how to fix this?

There are a few things that you need to find out.
1.) Is your school running and Exchange Server? If they're not, then you can't set the account up to push email, you can only fetch.
2.) If they are running an Exchange Server, did you set up the email account on your iPhone as an Exchange account, Or did you set it up as an email account under the "other" category? If it's not set up as an Exchange account then your mail will not push.
Both Push and fetch are enabled by default on the iPhone, but push will only work for email accounts that support the push capability. The only two account types that support push on the iPhone are Exchange or Mobileme. Otherwise the mail account will automatically default to fetch.
To me it sounds like the account that you have set up is not set up as an account that supports push.
I know it's confusing because in the "mail, contacts, calendar" section of the settings section, under "Fetch New Data," it says "Push," so you may think that your mail is supposed to push.
Please let me know what you find out.

Emails not pushed to my iPhone again

I notice today that emails are again not pushed to my iPhone. It has been working fine since the last upgrade to MobileMe. i deleted the mail account and reinstalled and the problem is still there. Emails will only be downloaded when I open the Mail application on the phone.
Anyone having the same problem over the last 12 hours or so?

Even though you have Push set to on, I'm not aware of any POP accounts that actually push. I believe you are just getting your mail via the 15 minute Fetch that you have set. And if they were truly push accounts, you would not need to turn Fetch on.
If you send yourself an email from another device to one account that you say works, does it actually get pushed? What I mean is, do you receive the mail right away, or do you only get mail every 15 minutes as you set your fetch? If you go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Advanced, you should see all of your email accounts listed there. What settings do you have there, push, fetch, Manual? I believe only accounts that support Push will have a selection for Push. If set to Fetch, it will fetch on the schedule you have set there, and if set on Manual, they will only check for mail when you open the Mail client. See what settings you have there.

Push on unlocked iPhone

The official iPhone carrier in the Netherlands, T-Mobile NL, is required by Dutch law to unlock any mobile device, including iPhones, if the user requests it. The only requirement is that the user has to pay a one-time unlock fee of around US$ 110.
I have an iPhone and subscription from T-Mobile NL, but my work now has me living in Germany for the foreseeable future.
The roaming charges, especially for data are ridiculous, so I was thinking of getting my iPhone unlocked by T-Mobile and using a pre-paid German provider with a no contract flat rate data plan.
My Question: I've heard that Apple disables PUSH to unlocked iPhones. Is that true? And if so, is that to jailbroken phones or also to officially carrier-unlocked iPhones?
Anyone know? Thanks!

If your iPhone is unlocked by your carrier, Push Notifications will continue to work as normal. It is disabled on jailbroken/hacked iPhones, though.

How do I get the messages I receive through Messenger to push to my iPhone?

How do I get the messages I receive through Messenger to push to my iPhone?

Are you asking about Microsoft Messenger or Apple iMessage?

Must I open FB, skype, and other IM apps to get push notification in iphone 4s?

Must I open FB, skype, and other IM apps to get push notification in iphone 4s? Because I notice that once i close the apps, it will not send me message. I thought that is what "PUSH" means??

ok, i saw a line saying "If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications."
so, that means i must "open" the app in background in order to get push notification??
what i mean by PUSH notification is by double clicking your home button, then press on the apps and CLOSE the app and yet you can get message from your friends. I think iphone cannot do that currently?

Making calls on my iPhone/ LockScreen and Message freezing

Hi, ive had my iphone for about six months now, im still under warranty and ive just recently been having few problems that are quiet annoying. My first problem , while making calls i can barely hear what the person is saying to me and they can barely hear me, i dont know if this is a general problem but its been happening for about 2 weeks now. Second, when in my lockscreen and recieving messages my phone just flashes and goes black i then click the lock button on the top and nothing happens.. again... nothing happens then after i like click the button repetitivly it finally come back but doesnt show i have any messagesm and when i go to my messages it doesnt show what the person sent.
Im still under warranty is there any chance of them giving me a new phone?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
If they do not resolve the issue, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

Messy Push Notifications on iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0.1

Well guys, I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0.1. Initially push notifications for all apps worked fine. I never missed a notification on any of the apps especially Facebook. I even got every notification about friends and pages I have liked on facebook. Recently, I only started getting sound notifications (no banners no alerts) for pages or friends I had subscribed to. Other notifications worked fine like Timeline posts, messages, friend requests, events e.t.c But recently even those notifications stopped working and not only for facebook but a few of the other apps as well. One of the weirdest things was that I still seem to be getting some notifications when my device is an unlocked state. But when my device is locked I am hardly getting any notifications for apps like Facebook and Twitter. Any one here who has encountered the same problem? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I might do that eventually but right now I have so much app data and settings and configurations on it I cant risk changing the iOS because i will lose most of it that way. Isn't there a way of resetting all the Push notifications settings and preferences in order to get working again from scratch?

Can I setup more than one @me account to use push on my iPhone

I have 3 @me accounts setup on my iPhone. It appeares that only 1 can be set to Push, the other 2 can only be set to Fetch. Is this correct? I have the same problem on my iPad. Both are using iOS4 and are uptodate with all software.

It appeares that only 1 can be set to Push, the other 2 can only be set to Fetch. Is this correct?
Yes. From: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1669
"If you have multiple MobileMe accounts set up on your device, Push will only work for one account. If you want to switch which account uses Push, you will need to turn on contact, calendars, or bookmark syncing for that account, then enable Push."
