Does resetting harm your iphone?

Hey! I've experienced a few bugs, nothing too serious, and was wondering if resetting (holding home/lock buttons until it shut downs and starts up again) can harm your Iphone in ANY way possible - Slow it down, bug something, you know, cause if not, i'd just try it to see if it helps bugs and battery life.
Thereby i would like to know what "good battery life" is (in usage and standby hours).
Think im experiencing som bad battery life here, or its just me.
I've got 5 hours of usage and
1 day, 3 hours of standby
And it just went down to 19 % battery.
Feedback please! Thanks!

Kink Apple lightning cable can harm your iPhone?

My iPhone 5 died, logic board dead. I went to the store and was told by an Apple technician that kink(ed) cables (creases and lumps in the ends of charging cables) can insert negative charge into the phone and eventually harm your device. I tried to look into it but I can't find information on the internet. Can anyone confirm that this is true? that creases towards the ends of the lightning cable can harm your device.
Thanks in advance.

Depending on the level of damage to the cable, yes it very well could.

Does filling up your iPhones memory kill the battery?

I have a 64GB iPhone and am wondering if when I fill it completely with music if that has any effect on battery life.

Correct. Managing battery life involves other managing other active services in settings (see http://lifehacker.com/5859413/how-to-improve-your-iphones-battery-life), but not how much music is stored on your phone.

Use of external battery cases, does it harm the iphone's internal battery?

Can the use of external battery cases harm the life of the internal battery in the iphone 4? (ie. Mophie juice pack air)

Absolutely not, but if looking for a protective case i would not recommend the mophie but if just using your phone for commercial use, then yes definitely use, it's helpful when you need a cordless charger

Using Bose speakers with your iPhone

Hi, I have just purchased my iPhone and they guy in the shop said that my speakers woudlnt work, however I noticed that if i switch my phone to flight mode then sit them on the dock, it charges and i can play music. Obvioulsy I know I wont be able to recieve call, texts or emails. Has anyone else used accessories like this?? Does it damage your iPhone??

troyandy9,
As listed in the [About iPhone and iPod Accessories|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1665] article:
The iPhone uses the same dock connector as the iPod, so properly designed accessories can be used with both the iPhone and the iPod. While there are thousands of accessories that have been designed specifically for iPod, not all of these are fully compatible with iPhone yet. This is because cell phones can cause audio interference with some accessories that have the "Made for iPod" label.
It is possible, however, to use many existing iPod accessories that have the "Made for iPod" label. When you connect iPhone to one of these accessories, the iPhone will alert you that the accessory was not made to work with the iPhone. With the alert, you are presented with an option to go into Airplane Mode, which will turn off the communication ability of the iPhone while it is connected to that accessory.
Hope this helps,

HT1430 does resetting your iphone wipe out everything on your phone?

Does resetting your iphone wipe out everything on your phone? My phone shut off tonight and I can't even restart it - it's locked in the off mode.

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.

The best way is to let the battery die. Or you can reset the phone settings which restarts everything.

With the new iOS 7 update, does anyone know what the setting "Bold Text" will do? If you click on this, it says it will restart your iPhone. Before I do this, I'm just wanting to be sure I know what's going to happen.

With the new iOS 7 update. Does anyone know what the setting "Bold Text" means or will do? Obviously I do know what Bold Text is. It says if you click on this, it says it will restart your iPhone. Before I do this, I'm just wanting to be sure I know what's going to happen.
Thanks,

It just reboots the device and bolds the system fonts. No harm done. If you don't like it, undo the setting, it will reboot and back to as it was.

If you're trying use your hotspot and connected to wifi on your iphone, does the wifi stop working and start using your data instead of staying connected to the wifi?

Thanks for the quick response. What you have said makes sense but there is no rhyme or reason to he data used. I reset my cellular data counter to zero so both sent and received read zero. I was connected to wifi and let the phone to go into sleep mode. I waited about ten minutes and sent myself the same email four times, each with a 750 kb attachment. It was sent to my .me address so it was push mail on my phone. Sure enough I checked a minute later while bringing the phone out of sleep mode and checked the data. It showed just 10kb sent but 1mb received which just doesn't tally with the 4 x 750kb mails received. It just isn't making sense.
He knows what you asked and has already answered it!
I thought I had read where the iOS4 (or maybe just the iPhone 4) was supposed to be able to keep wifi connections alive while inactive. If the phone is sitting there on a charger with a wifi connection available, why use the 3G?

IPhone 5 screen is black, when I connect to ITunes it says "to allow access please respond to your Iphone". Impossible with a black screen, does anyone know what the prompt is?

Hey 11doski,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the display has a dark screen. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Does 'find your iPhone' use a lot of internet? My mobile data is running out ridiculously fast and I need it to slow down!

Does 'find your iPhone' use a lot of internet? My mobile data is running out ridiculously fast and I need it to slow down! Anyone has suggestions / info?

You should shut down all the apps running in the background and then reset your phone. Double tap the home button to open the multitasking drawer (iOS 6.X) or the multitasking screen (iOS 7.X) if you are on iOS 6.X press and hold one of the app icons and wait for the icon's to start to jiggle, just like when you want to delete an app. Tap the little x that appears in the upper corner of the icons. Repeat until all the icons are gone.
If you are on iOS 7.X once the multitasking screen is open swipe up on all the app images until they are all closed. Tap on the home screen to close.
Then press and hold both the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time and wait for the Apple logo to appear then release both buttons. The phone will restart itself.
If this doesn't help try doing a Reset All Settings reset, you will not lose any data or content or media. But you will have to reset any setting you turned on or off in Settings. This will reset all settings back to factory default. Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings.

How do you get your iPhone to stop connecting to face time while on a voice call? And it also does this when I'm on the phone with someone who doesn't have an iPhone. I look down at my phone while on a call and it says connecting to face time
