E6 Home Scrren Bug

Hi. I'm new to the forum. I've had my E6 for about six months and had occaisional bugs, but nothing major. Love the phone. The other morning when I turned my E6 on, out of the blue all my home screens were wiped (I had 4), and in place was a wallpaper, no widgets, clock or anything. Touch screen worked fine, but there was nothing to access as all my buttons had vanished. After trying to fix, I ended up restoring factory settings. This reset everything, and I went through and set up all my homescreens all over again. Now tonight, suddenly home screen number 2 is blank (wallpaper only). Earlier today it was fine. Strangest thing, the buttons are still there, just not visible or touchable. I can go accross and enter them via D-pad using tool tips to tell me what I'm on, but I can't see them! Very inconvenient, Nokia. Please help.

I think I've figured out that one of the two computers automatically changes the apostrophes to commas when it imports the file (and I think it's the Mac because the library originated on a PC) and once changed, the computers then think they're not synced.
This might be one that just Apple can fix, but HELP!
THIS PROBLEM MAKES THE FEATURE ALL BUT UNUSABLE FOR ME!

ITunes home share bug?

Hi, I found that is I have two computers on a home network where both have the same user name, only one computer see the share, after I renamed the user of one computer, I was able so see both home shares. Does anyone else experienced this problem?

I see the same problem. All of my five computers have the same user name but each computer has a different name. I did this to make life much easier to keep the in-sync and it has worked for years. Recently I purchased an iPad for my wife, downloaded a bunch of APPS on my system and was going nuts trying to get the Home Share working. I view this as a bug in iTunes but I'm sure that Apple will not see it as a bug. I must have wasted at least 20 hours on this bug, trying to get it to work, going over the instructions numerous times, running numerous searches and finally I find your post. Thank you for posting the issue.
Is there any way to report this as an issue to Apple?

Home Sharing bug?

I bought new laptop couple weeks ago and installed iTunes and allowed home sharing on it and worked great. I took it on my vacation last week at Walt Disney World. One afternoon while in my room I had iTunes running charging my iPhone and notice home sharing was on and it was picking up a computer near by with someone elses name, they had a total different library than mine. I looked at the library listed for few minutes and then unhooked iphone and forgot about it until today.
I was making a new playlist this afternoon and noticed about 30-50 songs in my library and I did not buy or for that matter even listen to! Is it possible that these songs migrated to my library from this home sharing connection?

I think I've figured out that one of the two computers automatically changes the apostrophes to commas when it imports the file (and I think it's the Mac because the library originated on a PC) and once changed, the computers then think they're not synced.

Home Button Bug?

For the past week or two, I have been having an intermittent problem with my home button on my iPhone 3g. When I press the home button to get back to the home screen from an application, I am taken instead to my favorites contact list. This sometimes happens as well when I end a call. Anyone know if this is a common problem or if there is a simple fix? I got the 3.0 upgrade but the issue is still occurring.

that's because you are probably double clicking on the home button and have your settings set to go to your favorites when double clicking on the home button.
if you aren't double clicking then maybe your home button is overly sensitive and is registering a single click as a double click.

ATV3 New Update Breaks Home Sharing Music Library Streaming (Again)

Windows 7 user here using Apple TV 3. Overall, I love the device, when it works right.
When I first got it, using the Home Sharing Music Library feature from the Apple TV (in other words, pulling content from the computer) was broken in that it would play for a while, then suddenly stop. There was a *huge* thread on this where many people seemed to experience it.
I was so happy when the last AppleTV update fixed this (for me anyways, and I'd guess many others) - since then (months) it worked flawlessly until today, when the ATV prompted me for an update. Now it's even worse than before and appears to play the first song, then immediately get stuck on the second. =( Anyone else having this issue?
Fortunately, my workaround works, which is "pushing" content from my computer, but this isn't nearly as convenient for a variety of reasons (including much less control via the AppleTV if I'm just relaxing and listening).
I truly hope Apple can resolve this quickly, since they had it nailed before...

Luke, I can confirm the bugs with the latest AppleTV software, version 5. It doesn't matter if it is an ATV2 or ATV3 because they are running the same OS version. There are Home Sharing problems because immediately after I updated my ATV2, I started having Home Sharing problems when trying to play any video from my iMac. The link between the Mac and the ATV2 breaks and it bumps back to the main menu with no computers displayed. Quitting iTunes and re-launching fixes the problem, but it isn't guaranteed. Sometimes you will get lucky and it will remain connected, other times, it will break the link again, after another 5 minutes. And, it won't remember your place in the video when the link breaks.
The other major bug is that TV shows are displayed out of order. Apple has confirmed the TV show order bug, but haven't heard anything on the Home Sharing bug. I have reported that one to Apple. Hopefully we will get a software update soon.

Ical LION sends cancel event - MAJOR BUG

My default calender is set to my Office Exchange Server in Ical
Cal invite arrives via email and automatically sent to my exchange email address (they are using google cal)
     My Ical adds to my "home" calendar (bug 1 since I set the default calendar to my office)
     I Open the event and change cal to Exchange server and click ACCEPT
     Ical sends weird result to sender of the invite saying THEY canceled the meeting
     It either crashes my Ical or leaves it sent in the correct cal but never sends the ACCEPT only the cancel.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH APPLE.

I just created a test invitation and sent it from another account (not part of iCal) to myself. It was sent from a Hotmail account and showed up as an .ics-attachment to an email. Even after several minutes this event was not picked up by iCal, thus I clicked on the attachment and it opened in iCal. There I clicked on the "Get Info" and it shows the invitation assigned to my MobileMe calendar (not the default), but it also shows the invitees as active fields (i.e., I can change them) and it does not show the organizer at all. In other words, it makes the event appear as if it originated from my iCal and I was the organizer.
In my test case, moving the invite to a different calendar (either through the Calendar sub-menu or the Get-Info panel) caused a message pop-up titled "The event will be moved from the calendar on your Mac to the calendar on your “Exchange” account." --Note: in my earlier post, I did not get this pop-up. Thus I am concluding that I am not yet completely recreating the same conditions.
Unless the action is canceled, an email gets sent out cancelling the original event for all participants.
I will work on recreating the exact event.

Low level bug: Notification Center Banner

I found a low level bug in iOS 6 recently. Here are screenshots:
You can do with following steps:
1. Keep your iPhone at Lock Screen
2. Slide up camera button and in camera mode
3. Tap the left down corner "Photo Library" while tapping HOME button, bug appeared.

Seems to be a problem among many users.

Home folder lost - user account restored to default

I installed SL last weekend, no major problems but many annoying bugs. This morning when I woke up the computer had hung - screen saver was frozen. I held down the power key to shutdown. Turned the computer back on, clicked on my user account icon, and it was like I'd just picked up a new computer... my home folder had been replaced with a "straight out of the box" home folder. Standard desktop, standard dock, nothing in my documents folder, standard library. My entire home folder is gone.
All apps are still available - they are on a different partition with the OS.
The partition where my home folder lives is now virtually empty. I used stellar pheonix to try to recover the files from my home folder, but it did not find them as lost not as deleted files. It gave me the option of recovering about 40GB of deleted files, but they were legitimately deleted files.
I have repaired the disk - no problems. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

After Dubaidan and tcnsdca I am the third person in this thread who has experienced this 'wipe home directory' bug. I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard last week. By accident I clicked on the 'guest login' icon on my MBP thirty minutes ago. After about 1 minute it automatically returned to the login screen, without showing up the guest desktop, so I decided to click on the 'guest login' again. This went pretty smooth and when I logged out the message appeared that all the 'guest login data' wouldn't be saved, but returned to normal.
When logging in to my regular account everything was gone. I don't use filevault. Nothing has been renamed to something else. My home-directory still exists under /Users/username but it is just empty.
Apple should have noticed this bug report already. It doesn't feel right that Apple doesn't take immediate measures when someone reports such a bug with a high potential data loss.
I would suggest to everyone to disable the guest login option IMMEDIATELY until Apple has addressed this. I hope that Apple will come up with a swift response and a nice gesture to victims of this bug.

IPhone 4S Battery Life: Best solutions and procedures for 1st time user: 1-Do you have a battery life issue (learn first what the usage time spec is about) 2-What can you try to remedy the situation without reading 500 pages of posts

What follows is a grouping of some of the most fruitful procedures - from what I've seen in the biggest battery life issue thread - and some background information and discussion for solving or improving the battery life with the iPhone 4S and may be applicable also to devices on which iOS 5.0/5.0.1 has been applied. Credit goes to the respective users who contributed this information to the forum and they should be commended for doing so. This is not a final listing. The goal here is to provide a first stop sort of knowledge base document for newcomers instead of having them perusing the never ending threads where the wheel is reinvented on every page...
Please don't post your questions, usage screenshots, or claims that it worked or not for you or anything here except PROCEDURES/DEBUG STEPS/SOLUTIONS or improvements to the procedures already listed here. Try to use point form and to be as concise and clear as possible. Hope all this helps.
Thank you and good luck!
General info and specs
First, take a look Apple's battery tips, info and specs(obligatory reading for all Iphone 4S users - read it once and for all):
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
http://www.apple.com/batteries/
... you didn't read it? loll Always remember this i.e. the definition of "usage":
Usage: Amount of time iPhone has been awake and in use since the last full charge. The phone is awake when you’re on a call, using email, listening to music, browsing the web, or sending and receiving text messages, or during certain background tasks such as auto-checking email.
I'm still not convinced you read the links so here's what Apple has to say in terms of fine tuning your battery life:
Optimize your settings
Depending on how they are configured, a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life. For example, the frequency with which you retrieve email and the number of email accounts you auto-check can both affect battery life. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iOS 5.0 or later and may help extend your battery life.
Minimize use of location services: Applications that actively use location services such as Maps may reduce battery life. To disable location services, go to Settings > General > Location Services or use location services only when needed.
Turn off push notifications: Some applications from the App Store use the Apple Push Notification service to alert you of new data. Applications that extensively rely on push notifications (such as instant messaging applications) may impact battery life. To disable push notifications, go to Settings > Notifications and set Notifications to Off. Note that this does not prevent new data from being received when the application is opened. Also, the Notifications setting will not be visible if you do not have any applications installed that support push notifications.
Fetch new data less frequently: Applications such as Mail can be set to fetch data wirelessly at specific intervals. The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch new data manually, from the Home screen choose Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually. To increase the fetch interval, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Hourly. Note that this is a global setting and applies to all applications that do not support push services.
Turn off push mail: If you have a push mail account such as Yahoo! or Microsoft Exchange, turn off push when you don’t need it. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and set Push to Off. Messages sent to your push email accounts will now be received on your phone based on the global Fetch setting rather than as they arrive.
Auto-check fewer email accounts: You can save power by checking fewer email accounts. This can be accomplished by turning off an email account or by deleting it. To turn off an account, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, choose an email account, and set Account to Off. To remove an account, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, choose an email account, and tap Delete Account.
Turn off Wi-Fi: If you rarely use Wi-Fi, you can turn it off to save power. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and set Wi-Fi to Off. Note that if you frequently use your iPhone to browse the web, battery life may be improved by using Wi-Fi instead of cellular data networks.
Turn off Bluetooth: If you rarely use a Bluetooth headset or car kit, you can turn off Bluetooth to save power. Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and set Bluetooth to Off.
Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas: Because your iPhone always tries to maintain a connection with the cellular network, it may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turning on Airplane Mode can increase battery life in these situations; however, you will be unable to make or receive calls. To turn on Airplane Mode, go to Settings and set Airplane Mode to On.
Adjust brightness: Dimming the screen is another way to extend battery life. Go to Settings > Brightness and drag the slider to the left to lower the default screen brightness. In addition, turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust its brightness based on current lighting conditions. Go to Settings > Brightness and set Auto-Brightness to On.
Turn off EQ: Applying an equalizer setting to song playback on your iPhone can decrease battery life. To turn EQ off, go to Settings > iPod > EQ and tap Off. Note that if you’ve added EQ to songs directly in iTunes, you’ll need to set EQ on iPhone to Flat in order to have the same effect as Off because iPhone keeps your iTunes settings intact. Go to Settings > iPod > EQ and tap Flat.
Usage specs for the 4S - http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html:
Talk time: Up to 8 hours (12.5% per hour drain) on 3G, up to 14 hours (7.1% per hour drain) on 2G (GSM)
Standby time: Up to 200 hours (0.5% per hour drain)
Internet use: Up to 6 hours on 3G (16.6% per hour drain), up to 9 hours (11.1% per hour drain) on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours (10% per hour drain)
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours (2.5% per hour drain)
So a scenario of normal usage could be for example: 4 heavy hours of 3G internet browsing (66.4%), with one hour of call on 3G (12.5%) and 22 hours of standby (11%) = 100%
A battery life issue is a problem where the drain is really out of spec either during usage or standby or both. For example, multi-% per minute drain during usage or a 10% drain per hour during standby is problematic. Browsing the internet on 3G during one hour and losing 16-17% is not.

davidch tips (reset+full discharge recharge):
Go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
2. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd
4. Fully discharge battery (tilll it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
In my experience this improves the Standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases. It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple. Good Luck!

6. Disable Siri 'Raise To Speak' and REBOOT *( if possible use another camera to verify the                 infrared is off after the reboot).
7. Set emails, icloud and calendars to fetch. ** test. Mines on hourly.
8. If your in a no signal and your phone is saying "Searching..." even after 10mins, reboot while in that area and after 1-2min it should say "No Service". This mainly applies to Verizon customers and improve battery life in these areas.
9. *optional* Goto Settings > General > Network and you will see "Hotspot.." loading something, wait a few seconds and it should say "setup personal hotspot" then exit out.
* I notice a great improvement after disabling this and rebooting. This increased my "screen on" usage or at least helped it. Make the change.
** I have not tested push yet to narrow down the drain but I had this change on my phone. I believe exchange push is responsible for some stand by drain. As for icloud, haven't notice much of a difference. Just try it for a day. My email still came in fast most times. Again still testing, will report back on these..
buxbuster tips(wifi sync, iCloud):
These are my own tested workarounds that worked for my iPhone 4S and seemed to have worked for others as well :
Workaround number 1. Deselect wifi-sync in iTunes and press sync.
If that doesn't work try :
Workaround number 2 : Remove iCloud, reset network settings. ( I guess this won't work for you since you don't have it enabled ).
If both workarounds fail, you can always try to completely wipe your phone. That also solved some of the cases out there.
rolandomerida tips - i.e. buxbuster and additional steps:
Finally, I solved the syncing error loop. My contacts are syncing flawessly again between my devices and iCloud, and yes, the battery stopped draining, which is the main topic here.
I followed instructions from buxbuster (check his workaround a few pages up!) and an additional BIG step to restore contacts and syncing, as seen in a MacRumors forum.
This is what I did:
1. Make a backup of your Address Book, using the vCard option (or both, it doesn't hurt). Save it for later.
2. In your iPhone, delete iCloud account. When it asks, accept both: delete AND delete from my iPhone.
3. Reset network settings. The iPhone will restart, then will ask you to unlock the SIM card.
4.Turn Wi-Fi on.
5. Add the iCloud account again.
That's for Buxbuster's workaround. For some, it might work just like that. My iPhone repopulated from iCloud after step 5, but I still had that "server error" on iCloud. I had to do some extra steps, since my Mac was not syncing to iCloud and couldn't edit anything on my Mac or iCloud. Syncing back had to be fixed, too. If not, the syncing loop would continue from my iPhone, and the battery would drain awfully again.
1. In System Preferences -> iCloud, I turned Contacts off. I chose "keep on My Mac" those contacts, but I got an empty Address Book after a while. And a few minutes later, iCloud contacts were empty and my iPhone also. It is scary at first! Now, before importing that vCard backup...
2. Turn Wi-Fi off. This is important, since your contact-empty iCloud will attempt to wipe your Address Book from your Mac in seconds after importing.
3. Import your vCard backup to Address Book. Just drag it to your blank Address Book window; it asks if you want to import "x" number of cards. Of course, say yes.
4. Turn Wi-Fi on, and then iCloud contacts on again (System Preferences -> iCloud). It will offer to merge your newly populated Address Book with iCloud (which is empty at this point). It should upload every single contact to iCloud, and then to your iDevices. If not, a fifth step would be to import the vCard file to iCloud, but it shouldn't be necessary.
So, with iCloud syncing working correctly, there is no battery draining! Again, that was my particular issue.
I can't tell if this is the single answer to the widely spread battery draining problem, but it sure can be fixed with these workarounds, and yes, Apple should address the problem with a future update, for we affected customers don't need workarounds in the first place

Miless tips (full 800mb release of 5.0.1 and sanitizing a restore):
As for 4S battery life. Try doing this,
1. Settings>Location Service ... disable all location services you do not need. In particularly Facebook because it drains the battery a lot.
Scroll down to the bottom at Settings>Location services>System Services ... Disable Setting Time zone, location based iAds, Diagnostic & Usage.
2. Settings>Notification>Calendar ... turn off the Notification Centre.
3. Settings>General>Reset ... do Reset All Settings. Doing this will not wipe out your iPhone. It will just Reset the network settings, location warning, keyboard dictionary, etc... but it will clear up some corrupted data there. Generally this will help.
Try these 3 steps first... if it still drains a lot, try the following,
4. Drain your battery down to 1%. Then charge it up using USB from PC ... not the charger. The charger output 1.0 A ( x 5V from USB ... you get 5W power). From PC, output is only 0.5A x 5V = 2.5W power. Charging is slower but trickle charge 4S helps the battery retain its charge better. I think it takes about 3-3.5 hours to charge full from USB/PC compared to slightly below 2 hours using iPhone charger.
If after doing the above still could not solve your battery issues (mine with iOS 5.0 was ok up to step 4, but not iOS 5.0.1).... plug you iPhone to a charger (any charger), from iPhone, access your iCloud ... set it up if you havent. Back up your iPhone data to iCloud. if you do not have enough storage (only 5GB is free), go to details and select the apps you need its data backup, choose only those you really need and leave those unnecessary ones out. Back up your camera roll to your PC/Mac manually as it could be too big to backup to iCloud.... once you have it setup, make sure you are on Wifi ... tap backup to iCloud from your iPhone. It will take a while if the file is huge.
Once backup to iCloud is completed, plug your iPhone to PC/Mac and launch iTunes 10.5.1 (make sure you have 10.5.1)
Click Restore. It will automatically initiate a download of iOS 5.0.1 ipsw for iPhone 4S. Wait for the whole process to finish, ie. download, restore software/firmware.
Once its done, do not set up your iPhone from iTunes. Set it up on your iPhone. Go through the selection. When prompted, select restore from iCloud (from your iphone backup earlier). Keep your iphone plugged into iTunes while restoring backup from iCloud. Because while restoring from iClouds, some data will be synced from iTunes if you plug in, e.g. music, video, etc... unless you bought these content from iTunes store. Apps will be downloaded from App Store from the cloud.
Once it's all done restored. Turn off your iPhone,.. and turn it on again.
Now, hopefully your battery wont be draining so fast anymore. Usually it wont after this. But you need to charge your battery at least 4-5 cycles to stabilize the charge on the battery. I dont know why... but battery life seems to get better and better for me after a few charge cycles after all the above work.
Good luck. Let us know if it works for you.
W. Raider tips (Sirii):
Bottom line for me of things that helped battery life are:
1. Turing off Siri and Rebooting the phone by holding the Home button and Top button down, ignoring the slider, until the phone shut down. (turn off Siri, reboot, and check top front of iPhone 4S against a lesser camera like the front-facing camera on an iPad2 - making sure the IR sensor is off)
2. Fully draining the battery, meaning using the phone until it shuts itself off from a drained battery and then recharging it to 100% about 4, maybe 5 times. I charged it both with a Mac and a wall charger.
Hope this is helpful!

jmm514 remarks (Twitter):
I may have found something. I had Twitter disabled in my notifications, but got a tweet today that popped up on my home screen. Didn't know I had this enabled. At the bottom of the Twitter notification settings is the home scrren toggle. Since disabling this, battery life seems better. Considering there is no setting for frequency of checking for tweets, it appears the phone is continually connecting to wifi to check for new tweets.
tmksnyder comments (notifications, corrupt data in iCloud):
For me, I found my iphone on wifi mysteriously connecting to my mac. I eventually narrowed it down to the Apple Move Trailers app which keeps a file in iCloud. The phone was trying to sync the file with the mac in the background even when the Movie Trailers app was closed (hitting the red x). Based on my macosx logs the iCloud process that was trying to sync was working directly between the phone and the mac without using itunes by connecting to an https address hosted on the phone. It was connecting every 3 minutes and failing (while phone was awake or awake during during a notification). I also found that iCloud control panel on OSX would error if I tried to delete the file. I fixed it by removing the App and doing a hard reset which stopped the sync. I probably could have turned off iCloud document sync in the phone but didn't think of that. My battery life has greatly improved while at home on wifi.    I am now at 28 hrs standby, 2 hrs 20 minutes of usage, and 68% battery. It was ok before where I could get 20-30 hrs standby and 6 -8 hrs usage. My usage today was phone calls, 3g surfing, and music via bluetooth in the car.
I also found even with Itunes iMatch, if I mass updated tages, art work etc, it would hit the phone on wifi even in standby. I was amazed.   Granted if I am not doing updates, Match won't hot the phone so this was a once in awhile event. I could drop my percentage by 5-10% in a matter of minutes when doing updates.   I think a lot of our problems are background processes, associated with iCloud, notification, and apps. More features means more battery.   I think the key thing is to keep track of what has recently been added or changed if battery life gets worse all of a sudden.   It may be an app that was recently installed and if possible you may want to completely remove it and not just quit it.
With twitter, i think it uses push notifications so it doesn't need to be running and actively poll on the phone. For instance , if i quit the mail app, i still will get mail notifications and can swipe the message and load mail. Apple Push Notifications servics maintain the connection to the phone and there are likely pings or connection checks that occur for the service on an os level not an app level. This minimizes the load so there arent a bunch of apps all runing and constantly checking. The notification service , if it is contacted from twitter or another service with data, will check the settings you have registered to the with the apple push service and send the notification to your phone. No matter what, there is a drain with notifications. M hunch is once one application is configured to receive notifications, connection checking occurs betwen the push service and the phone so it knows where it is on the network. If it is implemented correctly, these checks arent frequent if you are still and more frequent as you move. The other drain is for when the noification hits and is processsed. If i get 9 emails over night, my screen just popped up for 20 seconds or so to process each message using battery. I would even think that just go from low power to turning n the screen uses more juice than if the device was already on and i get the message. On nights I get no notifications, I see a 3 or 4 percent drop. On nights with a number of notifications, i have seen up to a 10 percent drop. Besides notifications, wifi sync and icloud will poll on the local network and use up battery if the host computer is on and running itunes or trying to sync a data file that is corrupt (which i had with the apple movie trailers app causing my phone to drain). For me turning off wifi sync and remving a corrupt file in icloud solved my battery issues and I get over 24 hrs of standby with 6 to 9 hrs of use and this is with all the normal location services and push serivices turned on.
See http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/ipad/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Co nceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/ApplePushService/ApplePushService.html for more info. I think it has a good overview of how the notifications work.

Well seems like that rumor of iOS 5.0.1 is finally gone the way of the dogs since developers got a beta of 5.1. So as stated earlier in the master discussion-> I suspect if you are filling up this thread with false post or creating a master set of links to various post that are unreliable you are wasting your time. Press is not going to touch the story due to poor or inaccurate sources which may be links from the master thread. This can include inaccurate information, combination of conflicting post or postings from users which may not own the device. Reputable press organizations have policies that require discloser and strict rules about what is a reliable source for a story. It is clear that many of the post in the master thread, which are links presented here are questionable.
Sorry to say that postings taken without any analysis of their totality have been propagated via various sites, for example sites such as http://www.2012federalbudget(dot)com. (Do not visit but I suspect that this is not the 2012 federal-budget site you would expect based on analysis of the records. There are plenty of sites like http://www.2012federalbudget(dot)com propagating questionable post in these threads.) One site for example in the discussion thread used a self signed certificate, the site had a log in to allow users to enter their OpenID. Seems many of these sites are pop and drop drupel configurations.
So remember this is how the really bad rumor of iOS 5.0.2 got started, the 5.1 memory leak issue, iCloud Issues, call quality, address book, etc.
Some of the postings have been very comical, I think the latest now is a dropbox issue. Seems that the length of the previous thread has resulted in various app engines of some proxy servers/tools reaching their limits.
So I would make sure to know the source of any information you link to. Make sure you avoid entering any information to outside links such as OpenID or Apple ID, these are big prize items for anyone with malicious intent. If you have issues and are a valid user contact APPLE CARE. (Note link is using McAfee Secure Short URL Service, and is https.)

The original solution still represents a high level of success for users having any battery issues.
Install 5.0.1 on your iPhone 4s. Some users posting they are still using older versions, bad fake serial numbers, etc.
Make sure your device can run iOS 5.0.1 and is not altered.
Make sure you use a new Sim, not some cut down version which many users admit to doing. (Again, worth confirming what people are posting.)
Reset the device doing a hard reset and software reset.
Let battery drain and then charge for the full cycle, which is 24 hours.
I think you will find you will get the battery usage that APPLE has stated for the device.
Best of luck, stay safe and thanks

IOS 8.1.2 safari battery usage

Ever since updating to iOS 8.1, my iPad battery life has declined to the point that i have to recharge every day.
the only things i use my iPad for are safari, Facebook, google play books, stock music app, and youtube.
I've checked battery usage, and safari has 90 percent of the battery usage.
i have also factory reset the device, tried to keep screen brightness below 50 percent, and shut all apps, but that makes no difference.
i have also updated to iOS 8.1.2, and it made no difference.
am also considering a nexus 9

i have same problem, than battery percentage jump from 60 to 45 e in this way my problem is very bud. ios 8 last update is installed on my iphone 5. i think that it is a bug software, and i think this because i called apple support and diagnostic realt time with operator say that my battery life is better. and after home button bug fixed with ios 8.1 now i have this. this ios 8 is the worse update ever.

Problem with iPod Touch Rebooting - Restore No Worky

Out of nowhere my ipod touch started turning off on it's own. To turn it back on I can hit the power button on top, but after the white apple is displayed it shuts off agian. Never makes it to the home scrren. The only way to keep it on is to plug it into my car charger. As soon as I take it off the charger and play a song it shuts off again.
I already tried a restore and that didn't do anything. I am not use the new 2.2 software version.
It is not under warranty. Is there any solution for this? If I pay the fee for the new software (which is ridiculous), will that by any chance fix this?
Thanks for any insight.
Nick

I figured out that the issue is when I plug my ipod touch into the AUX port on any radio it will play for a few seconds and then crash. I've tried two different vehicles and it does the same thing on both.
Why would the ipod crash using the AUX port on a radio? Headphones work fine and my FM transmitter which use the large bottom slot on the ipod works fine as well.
Any clue?

N8 menu button not woking correctly

If i press the menu button when the device is locked it works fine and brings up the clock. However when i press the menu button on the home scrren the menu does not appear. How should i go about solving this problem?

did u try turning your phone on and off, did you install any new apps that might be doing something funny to your phone? do you have the latest firmware? if the answer is yes and you have tried all these things then a nokia care visit might be in order

[9i] poor performance with XMLType.transform

Hello,
I've got a problem with the Oracle function XMLType.transform.
When I try to apply a XSL to a big XML, it is very very slow, and it evens consumes all the CPU, and other users are not able to work until the processing is complete...
So I was wondering if my XSL was corrupted, but it does not seem so, because when i apply it with Internet Explorer (by just double-clicking on the .xml), it is immediately applied. I've also even tried with oraxsl, and the processing is quick and good.
So, i tried to use XDB, but it does not work, maybe I should upgrade to a newer version of XDB?
Please find the ZIP file here :
http://perso.modulonet.fr/~tleoutre/Oracle/samples.zip
Please find in this file :
1) The XSL file k_xsl.xsl
2) The "big" XML file big_xml.xml
Here you can try to apply the XSL on the XML with Internet Explorer : processing is very quick...
3) The batch file transform.bat
Here you can launch it, it calls oraxsl, and produces a result very quickly...
4) The SQL file test_xsl_with_xmltype_transform.sql.
You can try to launch it... First, it applies the same XSL with a little XML, and it's OK... And then, it applies the XSL to the same big XML as in point 1), and then, it takes a lot of time and CPU...
5) The SQL file test_xsl_with_xdb_1.sql ...
On my server, it fails... So I tried to change the XSL in the next point :
6) The SQL file test_xsl_with_xdb_2.sql with a "cleaned" XSL...
And then, it fails with exactly the same problem as in :
TransformerConfigurationException (Unknown expression at EOF: *|/.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
P.S. : Sorry for my bad english, I'm a French man :-)

This is what I see...
Your tests are measuring the wrong thing. You are measuring the time to create the sample documents, which is being done very innefficiently, as well
as the time take to do the transform.
Below is the correct way to get mesasurements for each task..

 5000 2795064 10455000 00:00:00.87 00:00:02.02 00:03:19.02I think this clearly shows the pattern.
Of course what this testing really shows is that you've clearly missed the point of performing XSLT transformation inside the database.
The idea behind database based transformation is to optimize XSLT processing by
(1), not having to parse the XML and build a DOM tree before commencing the XSLT processing. In this example this is not possible since the
XML is being created from a CLOB based XMLType, not a schema based XMLType.
(2) Leveraging the Lazily Loaded Virtual DOM when doing sparse transformation ( A Sparse transformation is one where there are large parts of the
source document that are not required to create the target document. Again in this case the XSL requires you to walk all the nodes to generate the
required output.
If is necessary to process all of the nodes in the source document to generate the entire output it probably makes more sense to use a midtier XSL engine.
Here's the code I used to generate the numbers in the above example
BTW in terms of BIG XML we've successully processed 12G documents with Schema Based Storage...So nothing you have hear comes any where our defintion of big.- 1 with Oracle 10g Express on Linux
Also, please remember that 9.2.0.1.0 is not a supported release for any XML DB related features.

A picture of user in SES search

Hi for all,
I want to show a picture of user inside the search of SES. So, I changed the 'Search Result List', but this dosen't works. Does anyone have any tips on how I can do this?
 <xsl:if test="img_user[.!='']">
 <fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg">
 <xsl:value-of select=".//IMG_USER"/>
 </fo:instream-foreign-object>
 </xsl:if>Kind regards

Ah yes - hadn't thought of that. An attribute is limited to 4K in size. Don't think there's any way around that.
I think you're going to have to go about this some other way - fetching the image directly from the database using some other technology, and just sending the URL to the SES web page via an attribute. You might be able to use the XML DB listener in the database, for example, to fetch the image. Or if the database is firewalled such that you can't access the XML DB listener, then you could add a JSP file into SES (you'll need to look up skin bundles to figure out how to do that), and the JSP could access the database directly.
In case it helps, here's a JSP file I've used successfully with SES before to fetch a document from the database based on an ID value passed in on the URL:
<%@ page import="java.sql.*, java.util.*, java.io.*, java.net.*, oracle.jdbc.*, oracle.jdbc.pool.*, oracle.jsp.dbutil.*" %>
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<jsp:useBean id="name" class="oracle.jsp.jml.JmlString" scope ="request" >
<jsp:setProperty name="name" property="value" param="id" />
</jsp:useBean>
