Blazer browser and hardware issue
Hello! I've had my Centro for a year now, and this problem pops up on me. I'm using my Blazer web browser, and the 5-way navigator won't highlight the links in the web pages anymore. I can go up and down, but not side-to-side, and I've been using my stylus to follow links. This has been going on for at least 1 week.
Is there a fix for this? I've done a hard reset already, but the problem came back when I synced my Centro to my Mac.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Pax et Bonum,
Kathryn

If it previously was accessible but is no longer through some change implemented at mobile.live's end, you would have to take it up with them. TouchPad users are all to familiar with web sites (like this one) working properly on their device one day, only to get hosed with an "upgrade" on the site which breaks some of the functionality.

Browser and email issues with OS 10.9.4
Had a problem that I thought had been solved. See thread here: Just installed OSX 10.9.4 - have browser and email issues
Now a week or so later, it's back. Same symptoms. I have followed the procedure posted by Linc Davis. Anybody have further ideas?
Don HutchinsIf you are using Safari, try going to Safari/Preferences/Advanced and set the develop menu to show. Go to the develop menu and select Empty Caches.
If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari/Remove all web site data.
For Mail, try:
Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis. Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this. -
Just installed OSX 10.9.4 - have browser and email issues
After updating the OS to X 10.9.4, I am now getting sporadic browser and email issues.
Email will send one message from each account, then locks up and the message is "authentication refused".
Browser will bring up an internet page or sometimes several, then will lock up and no further URLs can be accessed.
Both issues are temporarily solved by rebooting the machine - but recur almost immediately.
I am pulling my hair out. Any thoughts?
Don HutchinsPlease 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. -
Hello,
Is there a way to access Skydrive (Microsoft cloud storage) photos from a Palm Centro?
Skydrive photos used to be accessible from a Palm Centro using Blazer and mobile.live.com, but mobile.live.com skydrive access seems to be broken recently.
www.skydrive.com just returns a blank screen in the Blazer browser.
In Opera mini, it never connects.
Thanks.

I'm trying to use Microsoft Livemeeting 2007 - browser and java issues
My browser and java versions are apparently too new, and I can't seem to figure out how to download and use past versions to properly use the Livemeeting software. I know Livemeeting is outdated software, but this is what the client I'm working with is using, and I need to be able to join web conferences for document viewing/sharing, etc. Any help would be most appreciated, as I've spent hours trying to figure this out, but nothing seems to be working.
Maybe try this??

Stock browser and Chrome issues
I have two issues with the browsers in my A1000-F.
1. In the stock browser, sites such as MSN.com do not render completely and result to washed out text and photos.
2. In Chrome, all sites are shaky when scrolling.
I know these are fragmentation issues but are there any fixes for these problems? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Since I've got this only for $75 last Black Friday. I'm not complaining much about its limitations. After all it's still workable.

Safari browser and refreshing issue.
Lets say I am on a forum page, I can refresh the page in two ways. Either I hit the refresh button on top or hit the bookmark page of the same page. This works on my old phone and the replacement, except for facebook issue.
On facebook, it did it this way before the replacement phone from Verizon and on the replacement it doesn't do it. I have to hit the refresh button on top, it doesn't refresh from the bookmark page. Also if I am on my feed, it automatically refreshes and goes to the top, sometimes. Is this a facebook issue or a certain setting. If it's just facebook, I don't really care but I don't want this issue on other Internet pages, kind of annoying.
Thanks, sorry for Grammar issue or if confusing question.The bookmark button is not supposed to refresh it as of newer iOS operating systems

I used a template to build a website for a friend and I'm having a problem with how the code is displaying the site in explorer vs firefox.
Here's the website http://www.goknowstelecom.com/. In IE Explorer it looks fine but in Firefox there is a small break under the flash header and the rest of the body and I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate this gap.
I attached the code if that will help. I've been trying for days to figure it out but I'm stumped.

Any good?
Martin -
can anyone help me through this? i have had this happen a few times but my iTunes list usually comes back just fine and i have all of the content restored.
I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -
I have purchased I phone 4S on April 30th 2014. Since I bought this phone, I have been facing issues such as Battery Back up, Software and Hardware issue and hang issue. I had visited I store last month where they just formatted my phone. The issues were not taken care completely, even till now the issues are on. I would appreciate if you could help me with the right escalation desk for raising my voice to Apple team.
I have been using apple product since long now and never face such dissatisfaction in past
Regards,
GBHello, when you are having an error on your iPhone and going to the Apple store to get it taken care of, make sure you speak up and provide as much detail as you can. The first iPad Mini I had bought had errors on it, and I didn't speak up and provide further details on my issue.
Hope your issue gets resolved soon!

Failed Hardware Scan and other issues E440
Hi all,
This is probably more rant than anything, but I wanted to give a heads up to others too.
I have a ThinkPad E440 that is a year old. From the very first time I turned it on, there have been issues. The first hardware scan (via Lenovo Solution Center - LSC) showed a warning for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Local Connection Test. There were also tons of System Events that always show up in the "Configuration History" part of the LSC. You can look at the calendar and tell exactly which days I used the computer because there will be System Events generated each day. Things like app crashes and failed drivers.
In July 2014, I got the first warning for the 16 GB SSD - the SMART Short Self-Test. By February this year it showed as failed for each hardware scan (these were initially set up to run monthly).
Also the whole time I've had it the touch screen would just stop working at some point and I would have to reboot to get it working again.
I finally called Lenovo on March 30th, before my warranty expired. When I called that time, I didn't realize the hard drive failure was the SSD. So they sent me a new 500 GB drive. I also added the other things into the case when I talked to them. For the wireless issue they suggested making sure the driver was up to date. I did this and let them know when I called back that it was up to date and still having the warning. So I called them to tell them to tell them about the wireless and also that I realized it was the SSD having the failure, not the main drive. The first case had already been closed even though none of the other items were addressed.
So they opened another case (this is #2). They said to mail them the laptop since the wireless issue would probably be on the board and it wasn't something I could fix myself. They sent a box with a prepaid overnight shipping label. I was very sick for a few days so I sent it back to them on April 10th (a Friday). Via UPS I saw it was delivered on Saturday. Work was performed on it Monday, April 13th and sent back to me that very day. I received it on April 14th. This part of the service has been excellent - very fast response.
Being in IT, I included a letter with the laptop that outlined the issues that should have been in the case. I also printed the hardware scans and what the system events looked like.
When I got the laptop back, the sheet inside said they had replaced the Speaker because of Distorted Sound. This was not even on the list even though I had noticed it. I didn't even power up the laptop before calling them again - yes, I was furious! Plus our power was out...
So this was noon on the 14th. They opened case #3 and sent me ANOTHER BOX so I could send it back.
After our power came back on the 15th, I powered up my laptop. I opened the browser (I have it set to restore the previous session) and there was a sexually explicit video on YouTube. I opened the other browser and there was a different video on YouTube. So this person was watching YouTube instead of fixing my laptop. I looked through both browser histories and there was quite a bit of activity while my laptop was at the repair center... I ran the hardware scan - still failed and a warning for the wireless. They really hadn't done anything.
I also found two pictures of the repair person in the recycle bin...
So I called back. I was LIVID! They opened another case (this is #4). And sent me ANOTHER BOX. I finally learned the other day that once a case is opened, it cannot be edited or added to at all. Instead, they close the other case and open a new one. I guess their turnaround time for closing cases is excellent! I've never seen a system like that - and I've used a lot of them.
I got a really nice, patient fellow on the line. He took all my info (again). I emailed him the pictures, screen captures of the YouTube videos, the letter I had sent - everything. He entered as much into the new case as he could - he talked to one of the supervisors to make sure he did it right. Somehow he flagged it so that the laptop would get more attention (time) at the repair facility. He also opened a separate case (an escalation ticket?) for a supervisor to call me regarding the person's conduct at the repair facility. He said they would call me that day. (It's now the 25th and I've never heard from anyone)
So, he sent me ANOTHER BOX. I've built up quite a stack of them.
Our power was out AGAIN from the 17th through the 19th (don't get me started).
I noticed a hardware scan had now gotten a failure on the main hard drive. So I called them on the 21st to add this to the case before sending the laptop back. The girl said they can't add anything to an existing case or edit it at all once it's opened. She would have to open a new case and SEND ME ANOTHER BOX. I told her to forget it because I was ready to send it in and didn't want to wait for another box. I also asked for a status on that "escalation case" where the supervisor was supposed to call me. In order to do this she, yes, wait for it, had to open ANOTHER CASE!! So they would know I wanted a status. I'm completely dumbfounded.
So I sent it back on the 21st. This time I practically wiped it. I had already removed all my files the last time, but I had left my bookmarks and browser history intact. I set up a guest logon with admin privileges. I updated my letter and printed off more stuff to include with the box. On one sheet I had only the case number, the serial number and machine type. On another sheet I had "DO NOT SEPARATE THIS PAPERWORK FROM THE LAPTOP" and the case number. I put this sheet on top (The guy on the 15th said my letter and stuff may have gotten separated from the laptop once it was delivered to the repair facility). I used a ton of staples so it would all stay together. I included in my letter the failure on the main hard drive and asked if they could look at it. I wrote about having to open a new case if I wanted to include it.
They received it on the 22nd. A nice gentleman from the repair facility called me that day asking about the password. that. was. written. on the sheet they have you fill out. I told him what happened last time and also mentioned the hard drive failure and asked if he could look into it. He said they would.
I received my laptop back yesterday morning.The sheet that came with it said they had "replaced the following parts to complete the repair of your laptop."
Part Description Symptom
IMAGE Replaced due to engineering change
System board Network card error
Hard disk drive Network card error
ECA-WIRELESS <no symptom listed>
There was also a sheet saying they had installed a factory preload of software and I needed to install Lenovo and Windows updates.
When I booted it up, the first thing I noticed, in the lower right corner was:
Windows 8.1
SecureBoot isn’t configured correctly
Build 9600
I ran a hardware scan. Well, I tried. It stopped part way through and said it finished successfully but most of the tasks showed up as cancelled. I tried to run it again - issues - rebooting ensued. It said the LSC wasn’t available and that I should try again or reboot.
Tried several times. Then got what I guess is the new BSOD - kinder, gentler:
Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just
collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (xx% complete)
If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
Even though the LSC said my Lenovo files were all up to date, I ran the Update. And first I had to download a new version of Update. Then I downloaded all of the Lenovo updates and installed them (there were quite a few). The BIOS update failed. While I was doing the Lenovo downloads, I got a light blue screen but no text (I was out of the room so I'm not sure what happened). Did CTRL-ALT-DEL and it shows only IE and Task Manager as applications that are running. Could not “Switch to” IE. Hitting window key to go to start didn't do anything. So I had to restart.
By 3pm yesterday there were 34 system events in the configuration history.
I ran the hardware scan again after I updated the Lenovo files, and you guessed it! Failure on the SSD (SMART Short Self-Test) and warning on the wireless. Nothing had changed. Except hardware scan is acting different than it did before I sent in the laptop for repairs. When it finishes, it instantly closes and just shows 100% complete. When I click on "see last results" it shows a screen called
Log Information,
Canceled 04/24/2015 n:nn pm
You have not done a hardware test on your computer
And the calendar in LSC only shows the very first hardware scan I did on Friday. Even the hardware scan screen shows the date and time of the last scan. It also shows the error code. In order to see exactly what is failing, I have to sit there and watch it very closely and snap a picture of the screen as soon as the error (or warning) shows up.
When I would try to run Windows update, it would hang up PC Settings. I couldn't even kill it using task manager because it didn't show up as a task. During this, I got a flag saying the firewall wasn't turned on. I tried to turn it on, but clicking on Turn on Windows Firewall didn't do anything. I tried to setup my Microsoft account but that just hung too.
I ended up running Windows Update FOUR TIMES to get all the updates installed. Every time I ran it, it said "Done!" and I would run it again and more would show up. The last time was this morning.
At some point, the error about SecureBoot went away.
Then, I created a bootable BIOS update disk. Following the ReadMe instructions, I went through ThinkPad Setup and verified several values. Of note:
Secure Boot was DISABLED. According to the ReadMe file, this should be ENABLED in Windows 8.1. I enabled it.
Under Startup/Boot, according to the ReadMe that came with the BIOS update, UEFI/Legacy Boot is supposed to be set at UEFI Only for Windows 8.1. Mine was set to "Both". I changed it.
In Startup, OS Optimized Defaults was DISABLED, even though it says right there (and in the BIOS update ReadMe) it should be ENABLED to meet Microsoft Windows 8 Certification Requirement.
After these updates, I flashed the new BIOS.
Then, I ran hardware scan again...
Now I have TWO failures on the SSD: Random Seek Test and SMART Short Self-Test. Great.
In the Event Viewer (that I recently discovered), it says my disk has a bad block. It just says The device, \Device\Harddisk\DR1, has a bad block. I assume this is the SSD...
There are 867 events in the event viewer - Critical, Error, and Warning...
Fifty-two of these are from October 7, 2013 - before my little laptop was a glimmer.
The rest are from when Lenovo had it and yesterday and today.
64 of them are the disk error.
341 are from DeviceSetupManager. 65 of those are from failed driver installs. 69 are for not being able to establish a connection to the windows update service. 64 are from not being able to establish a connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS).
3 times it's rebooted without cleanly shutting down
60 of them are from Service Control Manager and say The TDKLIB service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.

Okay here is my problem: I bought an iPhone 5c about two months ago, and recently knocked it in my pocket and damaged the digitiser – although not the glass, but it is currently unusable. However before that it started really playing up.
Primarily, it stopped being able to tell the time – which does not sound like a big issue, but is in fact a real pain as it throws out all my real-time apps, as well as making all my messages come through completely out of sync with each other. The time just seems to have slowed down, no matter if it is on ‘Set Time Automatically’ or ‘Set Time Manually’ – in half an hour it normally only forwards two or three minutes. Then the Bluetooth would not work, and then the same with the wifi – they just sat there with the turning on icon staying on and not changing. The next thing that happened was that my messages that I’d sent to people would occasionally send to other contacts over imessage completely randomly without me doing anything!
I know these are hardware issues and covered by Apple’s warranty, and they would replace my iPhone if those were the only problems, but as the digitiser is cracked I have to pay £177 pounds before they will even look at it to replace the glass, and that is just so I can send it off again afterwards for them just to give me a fresh phone anyway!
It is also not an option to do a self repair or go to a phone doctor as both of these will use non-apple parts, and void my warranty.
I really am stuck as I don’t have that kind of money for a repair at the moment, and still feel like it would be a complete waste of time for a phone that is currently not working anyway that they would just replace. Is there anything I can do?"Is there anything I can do?"
Yes, you can exchange the handset for a refurbished out-of-warranty product for £216.44 (includes shipping + VAT). Treat your objects like women - with love, and respect. -
Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.
This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3. -
How do I fix an improper migration; and hardware or migration issue?
I have been having screen freezes since I migrated my user account (incorrectly, I now discover) from my G5 to my brand-new, week-old precious ...er 13" Macbook Pro (2.66 processor). Doesn't matter what program I'm in and hardboot is the only way to regain any response (wince) -- the cursor just disappears, no trackpad or keyboard control. (no externals attached, no wireless either once.)
I ran the hardware test from the Applications disk: the short test reports no problems. The extended test froze after 8 minutes but it was on battery; I re-ran the extended test with it plugged in and it froze again on the first pass after 29 minutes. Had to hard-boot it both times; cancel/stop test button would not respond. I figured two freezes was an answer.
First assumption is I have a hardware issue and I need to take it back to the store.
However. When I migrated my user files, I did so without taking advantage of this forum's extensive discussions and with my head in the..er.. clouds about PowerPC to Intel issues. (I've seen several links and tips to the proper way of doing things, now, thanks. And sigh)
But I haven't seen precisely how one is supposed to fix doing it wrong. (Feel free to point me to such a place, my search-fu is not strong today.)
What I did wrong:
A. I just brought everything over using migration assistant; settings, software, everything. PowerPC-only software--heck, I might have even brought my old classic stuff in its folder. My third-party firewall and virus protection program (Intego Netbarrier) was apparently also PowerPC only, but it installed and appeared to be running.
B. I just had to play with my new toy before I migrated, so I did the apparently horrible mistake of creating a FancyNewUser account before migration.
C. When I migrated, I created a new account (UpdatedUser) for my old G5 account, settings, and information. I have not done anything to try to merge those two accounts and don't see the point; sometimes it's useful to have a separate admin account. (The migration itself, btw, was fantastically smooth.) But of course the applications are available to both accounts.
D. Oh, I did not repair permissions on the G5 before I migrated, either. *heavy sigh*
Minor note. I never upgraded the firmware on the G5 (it was having the 'sleep' issue) I just never put it to sleep. And it seems to me the laptop is freezing when I try to wake it from sleep. At any rate, the laptop was not freezing prior to the migration.
So.
1. Is there a way I (a middle-of-the-road user, not really comfy with terminal or command lines although I've used 'em) can determine if this is a hardware or an OS/software conflict issue?
2. Clearly I need to fix the migration. What's the best way to go about it? Should I
a) delete the UpdatedUser account entirely and start over? If so, am I right in thinking that I can:
aa. create a ThirdAccount on my laptop
ab. move the data I want to keep, like my photos and music and word processing files? (I think it was Kerry's tip: out of UpdatedUser's folders>a shared file>ThirdAccount's desktop>ThirdAccount's correct folders)
ac. delete the UpdatedUser account and
ad. perform fresh installs on any software I want on the laptop? (making sure, of course, that it will run on the laptop).
Uh... this skips the step of uninstalling the programs I shouldn't have migrated. I assume I can't run an uninstaller that might have come with these programs, since that, too, would have been compiled for the PowerPC. So what's the best way of getting rid of them?
(It occurs to me I could move the data to the FancyNewUser account without creating a third, but I actually like the idea of having a completely clean new account).
b) Turn the laptop over to the store, ask them to wipe it and reinstall everything so I can start from scratch?
c) some other option?
New machine
Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB Memory
320GB hard drive
NVIDIA graphics
I'm aware I'm asking a boatload of questions here. Thank you for any help you can offer.Let's say you just start over and do an Erase & Install and then migrate using this guide:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350
This way you're not dragging over a lot of PPC junk.
I would reinstall all third party apps from their disks. -
Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair as it's just over a yr old so I've got a 24 month contract so 12 months with a phone that is not working right I have read loads of other people that have the same problem so how can they put it down to the phone and when asked where to take it was told to google it not happy at all apple u need to sort it out never again am I buying anything for yourselfs again DISTGUSTED would be an understatement
No joy at all they just keep saying it's the phone but was fine before update and @metasolaray why should I pay for extra cover when the fault is not the phone but the update they have put out for everyone to install and I am far from being the only person as there is hundreds of people going through the same with this update and it's not been the first time they messed it up

Apple should take resonsibility for this, otherwise they will lose lots of loyal customers. I have moved away from the ipad due to expense and am now very tempted to do so away from the iphone. Selling a product that prompts an update that breaks the phone is not good.

Have had the same issues with iPhone 4S since the upgrade. No wifi button, battery draining every 8 hours with no use, phone shutting on & off for no reason at all. I gave in and tried the hair dryer method. Turned the phone off and hel d the dryer over the camera lense area for one minute. Turned the phone back on and to my shock, had wifi button back again. That was 2 days ago. Battery is lasting normal amount of time again and I can use wifi again! Hopefully this will last. I know it doesn't work for everyone but it doesn't hurt to try. Much better than spending the $200 at the Apple store, which by the way, the genius said Apple is aware of the problems but there is nothing they can do.

If not Apple won't want to know
I know I've tried but they will not help.
I've email bbc watchdog the consumer
Programme to see if they can help.

Having the same issue: iOS 7.0.2 with no WiFi / poor Battery stamina and really slow software experience when opening several options at Settings icon.
Apple care agent contacted me and we try all alternatives to isolate and detect if this is regarding a hardware problem. Of course they told me it is. Too sad. My phone is in immaculate condition.
My mother has an Iphone, my father has an Iphone, my 2 sisters have Iphones, my brother, wife and daugther... we all have Iphones. Mine's the only one with this fault (my personal experience: fail prob is 12,5% -1 out of 8).
At this point, I'm evaluating to stop buying apple products for fear that in the future the same will happen with some "premium" product that ultimately they are not.
Too sad, sorry but this is too much.

I got my 4s in August 2012, as an upgrade on my Vodafone contract Following the installation of IOS 7 I also experienced greying out of wifi and bluetooth. I tried various options suggested on forums however none worked. I took my phone to Vodafone who told me it was a problem they were aware of but couldn't do anything about as Apple had to deal with it. I took it to my nearest Apple store (60 miles round trip!) to be told it was not their responsibility, it was Vodafone's - something to do with consumer law! They also said I would have to pay £160 for a replacement phone as it couldn't be repaired. The 'Genius' was very cagey about it being a common problem by the way!! Back to Vodafone who said it was not their responsibility so back to Apple. This time I spoke with a Manager who told me in not so many words that it was an issue and agreed to halve the replacement cost of £160 to £80. By this time I just wanted it sorted to reluctantly paid £80 for a replacment phone. Seeing as this is CLEARLY a design fault, Apple should have replaced it free of charge. This experience just confirms what I am reading in lots of places about the Apple Company. I was going to buy an iPad but have decided not to now. I shall NOT be replacing the iphone when my contract is up. I too will be writing to BBC Watchdog.

You will probably be told that the solution is a replacement phone. Ask to speak to a Manager and insist on getting it at a lower price. I did this and got it at 50% of the usual repacement cost. Still not ideal but at least it saves you a bit of the money you shouldn't have to pay in the first place!

I depend alot on my Iphone and this Wifi greyed out issue is really getting to me!! This caused me to lose some business, but I'm sure I will make up for that in Andriod World. Switching back to andriod should have never switched to apple in the first place.

4s owner in the same boat as everyone else.
I setup a service call with apple on Monday this week and was told it's quite a common hardware failure. When I asked why I should be paying for a new phone I was advised to book an appointment in store. Well I've just returned from my appointment with a "genius" who told me that when the update is installing if any component is weak when installing it will be permanently disabled. Was then told £150 for a new phone which I declined.
I've had iPhones for 4 years now but due to this issue and apple washing their hands of any responsibility it will be my last.
Disappointed that a premium product has such poor backup from the manufacturer. If it was only my phone and not thousands of others I'd have probably paid for a new phone but I'll never give apple another penny again.

Same problem with my partners iPhone 4s. Restored the device but still no luck. Going to book an appointment but it sounds like we wont have much luck as it is just over a year old.
Nexus 5 time I think for both of us.
