Ebay App update on 3GS UK stops incoming calls

Hi,
I thought i'd post my findings.
I had an Ebay App update 2 days ago and without realising a connection with the update my 3GS started going a bit haywire.
This maybe a one off bug with the update and my personal setting on my phone.
The first problem i noticed was the battery level started to be eratic (50% to 20% then 40%)
Next day after full charge my phone lasted about 4-5 hrs before totally flat with no calls being made. (i thought it just didn't charge properly over night)
Later on that night i re-charged it and since then the phone is running pretty warm. (could be another fault and nothing to do with the App)
The next problem was i found out it would not receive calls (everything else working normally even outgoing calls apart from running warm)
After exhausting the net on iphone forums i finally went into itunes and clicked restore. After about 15-20 mins it was restored to factory.
The iphone was working perfectly and running cold again so i decided to sync back so i was back to where i was before restoring (all contacts and apps etc)
To my horror the phone would not receive calls (straight to voice mail) with this in mind i knew it was something i had loaded on to the phone.
Realising that the Ebay App was the last thing i put on, so i decided to delete the App and the phone works perfectly again. Reload Ebay app with update and it stops incoming calls again!
How can an Ebay App or any other App stop your phone from doing the basic thing like accepting incoming calls.
Like i said this might be freak happening with my phone and the combination of things i have on my phone but be aware that this can happen.
My 3GS is only 3 weeks old and is factory unlocked and its on Orange network.
Hope this helps somebody out there, but i was worried that my 3GS had turned into a £500 ipod

Before I came to the conclusion that the eBay app is the problem, I disabled all the connections (WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G), then I reset the network settings that didn't change anything. I was about to erase everything on my phone just before I read this page and thank Goodness! The moment the eBay app was gone everything went smooth. I still get calls when the WiFi is on and even though it uses the battery it doesn't drain it like when the eBay app is installed. I reinstalled the eBay app and all the problems went back... I took it off, everything went back to normal. Now I just go to eBay.com instead of using the app.

  • I teach Spinning- is it possible to stop incoming calls from interrupting the music?

    I teach Spinning- is it possible to stop incoming calls from interrupting the music? I have the newest iphone.

    Turn on airplane mode.
    That turns off the cellphone network so no-one can call you.
    Don't worry they will get diverted to the answerphone.

  • 1.3.5.1 Updated, and Now Issue With Incoming Calls

    Since updating to 1.3.5.1, any time I mute the ringer on an incoming call, it mutes the ringer until right before the missed call notification, but then plays the ringer again briefly.  This defeats the purpose of being able to mute the ringer in the first place.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    This occurrs any time I press the volume rocker key to mute the ring of an incoming call.  After the initial time when it played an extremely brief snippet of my ringtone (factory installed "Older Phone" ringtone), it has randomly switched between the short ringtone and a electronic squeal noise.
    Since I know the slightest software change can kill a seemingly unrelated feature, I'll try to be as detailed as possible.  For my phone setup, it is completely stock (phone no.5 after misc. slider/screen/charger door issues, haven't had time to change anything yet) My ringtone volume is set to maximum with vibrate also on, system sounds are also set to maximum with the default tone. I have no non-app catalog programs or patches installed.  I use a Touchstone back cover, although the phone was not on the charger when I noticed the issue.  
    The only downloaded apps on the phone are Pandora, Tip 'em!, Stop Watch, Fandango, Good Food, Mileage Monitor and gDial Pro (which has not been set up yet).  With the exception of Pandora, none of these apps have been used since I received this replacement phone.  They were all just automatically downloaded because my previous phone had them.  I have e-mail accounts through Cox, Yahoo, and Gmail, none of which are synced to contacts, calendars, messaging or tasks.  I do have my Palm profile and EAS through my work in a full sync capacity.
    Hope this helps.

  • Contacts app stay open after ending an incoming call. Thats annoying!

    Hi, I am using factory unlocked iPhone 4 with iOS 4.1.
    This is what I'm facing. It is quite annoying.
    1. On home screen, I press sleep button. Phone goes into sleep mode(as usual).
    2. I receive an incoming call.
    3. I/caller end it.
    4. Phone again goes back into sleep/standby mode.
    5. When I press Home button, then slide to unlock, I find 'Contacts' app opened. *Why? This is quite annoying!*

  • Need ot stop Incoming Calls

    We are using a  X number from where agent calls to the customer ...this number X was visible on customers mobile number & they call back to agent...we can't use masking because its having limitation for recording (X number is recording line) ..Is there any way we can stop receiving Incoming Calls on Number X....

    Hi
    Sure just move X number to a partition not included on incoming CSS configured on VG or trunk.
    Pay attention to maintain reachability from CCX/CCE and other internal stuffs.

  • Confused, Since last CC app Update Core Sync continually stops working.

    This is occurring with a window popping up stating 'Core Sync has stopped working' more than once an hour, on both my laptop and desktop, both running Windows 7 64bit.
    I just spent over 40 minutes on the phone with adobe tech support, to finally be told to turn file sync off in the creative cloud app at some point, and then being instructed to sign out and sign back in to the CC app, whereupon I was told the issue was fixed.
    I asked if I could turn sync back on, and was told no, as the problem would recur. I asked then how I was supposed to use file sync then, and the tech simply disconnected. Shortly after this, the window popped up again though file sync was still paused.
    So spending this time has solved nothing, I still have this problem on both my computers, support simply bailed on me, and I'm paying $50/month for this...and the window just popped up again.
    How do I fix this other than simply turning the creative Cloud app off? I have looked through the forums some, but only seemed to find problems and not solutions.

    I have the same problem, on a Windows 7 Pro computer (Dell Vostro 64-bit)
    Description:
    I updated Adobe Creative Cloud application, then some of the Adobe applications, about three days ago.
    Since that time, I get a "Core Sync crashed" Windows error message box about once every hour.
    Below is the Windows-supplied diagnostic (in french)
    Please do something.
    It is unacceptable from a decent software company to 1-deliver untested software 2-let users in the dark.

  • App updated half way, and stopped. Can't delete or continue download.

    I impatiently decided to update several apps on the road today, before I had access to WiFi (at work). App started downloading the update and stopped about half way. I assumed that once I was able to contect to the network, it would speed up and complete without problem. Well, now it's stuck. I can't delete it or access it. It's basically a dead icon on my screen.
    I haven't tried connecting it to my iTunes at home, but is there another way to access installed apps and force delete? iPhone finder?
    Thanks!

    Sometimes it's the simple solutions that slip our minds
    No probs

  • App updates are stalled and stop?  What is the problem?

    When I update an App I am prompted for my AppleId password, then the update indicator spins, ad resets to the update box again

    Force close the App Store app, reset your iPad and then try again. You will not lose any data when you perform the reset.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    In order to reset your iPad, hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen after which time you can release the buttons and let the iPad start up.

  • HT4061 my iphone has stopped ringing out and no incoming calls but all mobile services and i messages working

    my iphone 4s has stopped outgoing calls, stopped incoming calls also normal text messages, i can get mobile internet viber, watapp and facebook and twitter , can anyone tell me what is wrong?

    Something is wrong in the provisioning of your account, or your carrier has a local outage. Either way, contact your carrier.

  • How can i hide incoming calls from showing on my screen

    How can I stop incoming calls from showing on my home screen?

    If you just don't want to see the call notification on your home screen go to Settings, Notification, Phone and turn Notification Center to Off.  Or you can simply select None and calls will be listed in the Notification center but you won't see a banner / alert on the home screen.
    This also eliminates the Caller ID from being displayed before you answer the call.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPhone under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • How to stop iPhone app updating on iPad

    I installed the Ebay app on my iPad - it was the yellow one for phone and pad. It worked fine. A few weeks later they released an iPad version which I downloaded just fine and deleted the iPhone version from the iPad.
    Now of course the iPad wants to update the old version even though I've deleted it from the iPad. I can't delete it from iTunes because it's on my iPhone.
    Anyone got any ideas how to stop it asking to update on the iPad?

    You can view the last 90 days purchases on your account (and optionally contact iTunes Support if you have a problem with one of them) via http://reportaproblem.apple.com - that should let you see your in-app purchases, as well as other purchases (apps, music etc).
    (You can only view your account's full purchase history via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes.)

  • Updated my 3gs to 5.0.1 and my battery life has gone from 1.5 days   to less than half a day with no Apps open - how can I roll this back to 5.0 until a fix comes out?

    Since updating my 3GS to 5.0.1 my iphone battery has gone, overnight, from 1.5 days + (with multiple open Apps) to less than half a day to completely discharge from 100%.
    I desperately need to roll this install back to 5.0 but there are no resources on the internet (or this site) which indicate how I would do that.
    Please help.

    You cannot and should not go back to 5.0.
    A fix is coming soon

  • TS2634 My iPhone 4s does not ring for incoming calls. Ring tone is set/settings/sound. It used to ring. I think it has to do with updating to IOS 7.0.4? After updating IOS 7.0.3 my microphone stopped working. Had to clear/reload.

    My iPhone 4s does not ring for incoming calls. Ring tone set and used to ring. I think it has something to do with updating the IOS 7.0.4. When I updated to 7.0.3 the microphone stopped working. Had to call Apple Support and cleared phone and reloaded. ($57 charge). Any suggestions?

    Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion.  There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field.  if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it.  If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.
