All calls fail after 7 seconds. this is my 2nd iPhone. what's wrong?

Hi there,
I'm very frustrated. My last 3G iPhone suddenly stopped working in this respect: I could make calls out, but the call ended just after the person answered; also, I could receive calls, but the call ended after the same number of seconds.
My service provider (Fido, owned by Rogers here in Canada) said it was the phone itself, and Apple kindly sent me a new one. It worked for about as long as the first one did—I could make and receive calls... until yesterday, when the same evil voodoo started happening again.
So what do I do?
Is it the phone (the hardware), or Fido (the service provider)?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Malcolm

Cyberbug and icebike - - thanks so much for your helpful replies.
To answer your questions: my location is Ottawa... should be well-covered. I tried going from 3G to the other one, with the same results.
I don't know if both phones (my first phone was a 3G iPhone, by the way) worked for exactly the same amount of time before not working (in exactly the same way), but it was probably about a month in both cases (made me wonder if I was late in paying my bill, and was being punished, but I've paid my bills promptly).
Now, re the Sim card. This could be the problem. As I recall, when I got my replacement iPhone, I was instructed to take the Sim card out of the one I was returning, and put it in the new iPhone. So maybe this "old" Sim card (I got my first iPhone in August, so I don't know if it could be a 3000 series) is to blame?
I'll call Fido tomorrow to ask about this. Before I do though, I'll check this forum tomorrow morning in case either of you, or someone else, has any further suggestions.
Thanks again, very much.
Malcolm

Call fails after last update

Can anyone help me, after the last update from Apple to my iphone 3g I get call fail after call fail. It is getting embarassing at work where I rolled these phone out.

Standard troubleshooting is
1)Reset: reset your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
2)Restore as new or from backup: see page 141 of the manual for details...http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
Note the last sentence of the Restore paragraph... "In iTunes, you can also restore from a backup without deleting data stored on iPhone."

Help!!!!!! my iPod touch nd gen will not turn on at all even after charging it for 2 days straight what's wrong???

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I can't send/receive any message/call but I can connect to the internet. What's wrong?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

RPC Remote calls fail after loading sibling.

Hi All,
Main loads an app compiled in 3.2. Cannot recompile legacy SWF with version of Main.
Main and Client are on the same domain. Debugging on localhost.
Sibling has RemoteObject code but never makes RemoteObject calls.
Main apps remote calls start failing after sibling is loaded.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
mx.messaging.messages::AcknowledgeMessage@c7ab831 to mx.messaging.messages.IMessage.
<mx:SWFLoader id="swfLoader"
        loadForCompatibility="true"
        trustContent="false"
        width="100%" height="100%"
        source="ClientGuiApp3-2.swf?fredOn=false"
        complete="swfComplete();"
        creationComplete="initNestedAppProps();"/>
What I have done to try to fix it.
trustContent = "False" to put it in its own security domain.
I thought loadForCompatability good enough to make them use their own class definitions?
Document I found says RPC special case for multiversion Sandbox or Bootstrap.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/html/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7f0c.html
loadForCompatibiity means sandboxing or new security domain for the sibling?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

1. Remove the WinrmIIS Extension from "Programs and Features"
2. Reboot the server
3. Execute the cmd "winrm quickconfig". This adds an exception for the remote management in the Windows firewall.
4. Install "Winrm IIS extension
5. Try open Exchange Management Console
Let me know what happens :)
Thanks for your guide;
"WinRM IIS Extension" is not installed.and firewall is off.
When I open up the Exchange Management Console ,after these message :
<Initializing ...
Setting up Remote Powershell session to: ServerName.MyDomain.net ...>
I'm seeing these errors:
<The following error occurred when setting up Remote Powershell session to 'ServerName.MyDomain.net':
Closing remote server shell instance failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot complete the operation within the time specified. Check if the machine name is valid and is reachable over the network and firewall exception for Windows Remote Management service is enabled. For more information, see the about Remote Troubleshooting Help topic. >
also When I open up the Exchange Management Shell,After several hours the below message remain:
<VERBOSE:Connecting to ServerName.MyDomain.net >

Javascript web service calls fail after 10.1.5/11.0.01 updates

* Update #2 - I've confirmed that we are seeing errors because the HTTP request is being made as a POST using 10.1.5/11.0.01 in Chrome/Firefox/Safari. Accessing the same file in IE, the request is made using a GET. Using Reader 9.5.0 in Chrome also uses a GET. Can someone please explain why the HTTP request is being submitted as a POST following the 10.1.5 update?
* Update - I have found in my web service log that it is failing with a message that the attempted POST method is not allowed. Could the Reader updates be causing this call to be made as a POST when it was previously a GET?
I am using PDFs with Reader Extensions enabled that make web service calls via javascript. These calls have been working correctly in multiple environments for months and only began failing with the latest updates. After the latest Reader updates, these calls fail when using Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
Internet Explorer works correctly. Saving files locally and opening them in Reader also works correctly. It is only running 10.1.5 or 11.0.01 in these specific browsers where this issue occurs. 10.1.4 and 11.0.0 do not experience this issue in any browsers.
I have tried disabling Enhanced Security and updating Trust Manager to allow Internet Access from PDFs. Neither change corrected the problem.
Can someone tell me what may have changed in 10.1.5/11.0.01 that would cause these calls to start failing?
The javascript at issue looks like this:
var serviceKeyResult.rawValue = Get(serviceKeyUrl)
The error we get is "Error: Error attempting to read from file: {URL}"

Thanks for pointing that out. The javacript was implemented by a third party, so I was not aware that the function wasn't part of the standard APIs. I'll get more detail on what is happening inside that method.
For now we have updated our web services to accept both a GET and a POST to avoid this issue.

3gs iOS 6.1.2 call failed - after software upgrade

After the upgrade, i can receive calls, connect to wireless, send texts and play sounds, but cannot make calls.
"Call Failed" is the msg i get wthin a second of dialling.
The signal strength is excellent and since i have tried calling several phones (land and mobiles, with different providers/carriers) within my home, I know they are not busy and it cannot be a network problem.
Any suggestions?
thanks

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

My iphone 3Gs is disconnecting on outgoing calls on a very regular basis stating call failed. Is this a common problem and how do I resolve the issue?

My Iphone 3Gs disconnects during outgoing calls very regularly when reception is fine. Message on phone is Call Failed. Is there a simple solution for this this or does it require specialist Apple fix

Have you reported this to your carrier? Perhaps your SIM is faulty.

It says i have bars, but i can't call, top up or text, all it keeps saying is error performing request, unkown request. what is wrong and what do i do

like it says in the title, I have a 3GS and i'm with O2, it is saying I have service/bars most of the time full bars, but when I go to text, call or even top up, it comes up with error performing request, unknown error. I can't receive calls or texts either, I can't use the phone side of my phone everything else like iPod, Internet etc is working fine, but nothing is working for my phone.
I've checked my sim card, I've made sure it is in properly, I've turned it off and on. nothing is working
what is wrong with my iPhone why is it not working, and how do I fix it.
Please someone give me some answers.
P.S. I have only had this phone for just over a year.

It sounds like an O2 problem, you'd have to get in contact with them on 0800 977 7337
Have you tried the SIM card in another phone?

My data like +5.00824E-04 becomes 0.00 after through Extract Numbers.vi (labview 7), what is wrong?

My data in ASCii format like +5.00824E-04,+6.06995E-04,+7.27587E-04. All becomes zero after Extract Numbers.vi in Labview 7. Please help what is wrong?

Extract Numbers.vi simply demostrate extracting decimal numbers. It is not used to extract exponential numbers. To do this, you need use the "Fract/Exp string to number.vi" from String >> String/Number conversion. Or the Scan From String.vi
