Facetime turns Off after SIM change

I have an iPhone 4 and uses 2 prepaid SIM from 2 different carriers. My problem is that when I change the SIM, Facetime turns Off and I have to manually turn it On.
The problem here is that every time I turn it On it sends an international SMS for activation and that costs a lot !
Why isn't Facetime activating via email or iTunes ?

It would make sense, but that would mean designing it with the idea that the phone is going to be used with multiple numbers on a regular basis. That may be common in Europe, but it's extremely rare in the U.S. and the designers undoubtedly had/have a U.S. mindset when it comes to things like that. Prepaid service is pretty common here, but it generally doesn't involve buying SIM cards with airtime tied to them. Unlike much of the world where that's possible, it's illegal in the U.S.

Why is it that the Facetime icon disappeared after i changed my sim from qatar vodafone number to philippines smart number? How can i reactivate my facetime?

Check to see if you have an old phone number associated with this person in your address book. When you call someone on Facetime it calls ALL numbers/emails associated with that persons contact sheet! This was my problem, this stranger has my husband's old phone number!

Yoga display turns off after 1 minute

I'm having an annoying problem with my new Yoga related to the display and have not seen any other posts with a similar complaint so perhaps this is a simple fix that I'm just not able to sort out on my own. My display turns off after 1 minute of inactivity. The only means for changing behavior like this that I am aware of is through the Control Panel Power Options. My settings for "turn off the display" are 10 minutes on battery and Never while plugged in (note screen shot attached). Regardless of my settings, the screen turns off after 1 minute. I've changed the settings to multiple configurations and restarted with no change in behavior. Perhaps there's some other settings area, maybe something specific to Lenovo that I'm not aware of (since this is my first Lenovo laptop). Anyone with similar problems or insight?

This may be a Windows 8 issue. I finally fixed this problem by identifying the screen saver as the issue (and I wasn't using a screen saver). Type "lock the computer" into the search box after clicking the search charm, which brings up the screen saver dialog box. Mine was set to 1 minute, though I'd never set it myself. If you can't change it, choose a screen saver and you should be able to do so (and can then switch back to no screen saver). BUT, here's the problem. Other things you install (or settings within things you install) can apparently change and override whatever you type in for the delay time. Try applying your new time and exiting from the dialog box, then open it back up again. I was finding that it kept going back to 1 minute. To reset things so that you can get control again, type "user accounts" into the search box and when the dialog box comes up, choose "Reset Security Policies". Then you can go back to the screen saver dialog and successfully change the delay time.

Screen turns off after a few minutes and needs to be closed then opened

hi, as the title suggests my powerbook screen turns off after a few minutes before my screensaver is set to come on and when i come back and press a key or move the pad it wont start up so i need to close the powerbook then open it up again for it to activate. its not a huge problem but my programs which connect to the internet seem to lose their connection when i open it up again. is this normal? is there a setting i can change?
thanks

Is there a way to "disable" Standby, Suspend and Off just when watching movies (in fullscreen or not)? I want them to do what they usually do in all other cases.
Setting them to 0 in xorg.conf does the thing, but I need that functionality only when I'm wathing movies. Making a script that alters adjustments in xorg.conf isn't the best solution - you'd have to restart X every time you want to watch a movie .
Cheers,

N8 backlight wont turn off and cant change default...

hi guys
---i got little problem here. my display backlight turns off only when I lock the phone-with button,or automaticly. I think it is suppose to turn off after the time that i can set in settings-> phone->display-light time out(5sec to 60 sec). its not a huge problem,i can always just use the button,or set screen/key lock time to minimal limit (60sec), but anyway,its **bleep** me of...fyi-> no app is runnung in background
--- than,I cant really change my default browser. of course i changed my default browser in applications setting to Opera mobile,but everytime i,lets say, click on some link on facebook (doesnt matter if i use SNAPTU or SOCIAL NETWORKS app) it opens default browser...
yeah,and just for inspiration- what facebook client do you recommend? default one is quiet good only if it would show notifications....

This is the intentional behavior! The backlight only turns off if the display/key lock is active! Light time out (5 to 60sec) is only for lowering the brightness!
About the default application thing, this happens here too. Its a bug Can you report it using that form please?! http://www.forum.nokia.com/forms/Report_a_bug.xhtml

G5 Turns off after 10 minutes

My iMAC G5 just turns off after about 10 minutes. I had trouble with the power supply a few years ago and I replaced it and everything was great. Now it just turns off after about 10 minutes and I am wondering if the power supply is acting up again. Do these things have a problem like this? It was easy to replace, so I can just do that again if that will fix the problem. But I don't want to just start changing out parts and still have the problem. Is the power supply a problem with this model?

More info on the iMAC. The processor is 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 the memory is 1 GB DDR SDRAM running Mac OS X Version 10.5.3. Buss speed 600 MHz, Number of CPUs 1. I just took it apart and cleaned the dust out to see if that will help. We will see.

IOS4 & iPhone 3G: Single Song Repeat turning off on song change.

After my update from iPhone OS3 to iOS4 on my iPhone 3G I noticed that single song repeat is turned off when I change songs or go to the next song.
This can be repeated by the following steps:
1. Play a song
2. Choose single song repeat
3. Push "next song"
... notice that now single song repeat is playlist repeat.
Alternately
1. Play a song
2. Choose single song repeat
3. Go back and select a different song.
... single song repeat is now playlist repeat.
Is this the new functionality or a bug?

same here! it's really annoying me, I keep all my songs on single repeat...
someone find out, whats going on!

Why does my Sony Sound bar CT60BT turn off after 15 minutes?

I turn the volume down during the evening and when I do, it automatically turns off after about 15 minutes. Is there a way to change the settings so that it doesnt go into standby mode?

Hi mdalton1284,
Your Sound Bar has an Auto Standby Function.
It will enter standby mode automatically when you do not operate the Sound Bar for about 15 minutes and the Sound Bar is not receiving an input signal but the sound bar is receiving signal from your PS4 going to the TV via HDMI connection.
You may try resetting the Sound Bar.
Follow the steps below.
Use buttons on the remote control for the operation.
Press BASS +, VOL - , and TREBLE + in that order within 3 seconds.
Let us know if you're getting the same result after resetting the device.
Thanks,

Show my caller id button turns off after setting att

show my caller id button turns off after setting at&t, any help

Hi, try this method, it works for me on an iphone4 & 4S (iOS7)
make sure you have all apps closed before next steps.
-Go to Settings, Phone, Show My Caller ID. (if button is Greyed Out)
-Pull down Control Centre & Turn On Airplane Mode & return to Show My Caller ID screen.
-Now slide your screen from right to left taking you to another screen, then slide back to your Show My Caller ID screen.
-Now You Can turn ON or OFF your Caller ID Button.
-Lastly slide down you Control Centre again and Turn OFF your Airplane Mode.
Thats it Job done.
Please note, it will now stay in the mode that you have chosen(ON or OFF) even if you respring or reboot your phone. But if you return back to
Show My Caller ID screen, then you SIM Provider will automatically Disable your Caller ID screen BUTTON once again. So just repeat the steps
above and your be fine.
Hope this helps.

My iphone turned off after I got off the phone. It was fully charged and it went black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up, its still dead. It was totally fine before. What happened?

My iphone turned off after I got off the phone today. It was more than half way charged and it went totally black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up. It doesn't register on the computer either, the charge symbol doesn't appear, and there is no apple logo to be found. I have no idea what happened! It was totally fine before. I tried charging another ipod with my usb and wall charger to make sure that they were still working, and they weren't the problem. What happened? Is the phone dead for good? I have a 3G if that changes anything. THANKS!

Press and hold both the on/off button and the home button and release them both when the apple logo appears. That will reboot the phone. try that.

If what Allen says does not fix the issue I have seen this as a Hardware issue and I would get into an Apple Store if it is close by

Have you tried resetting the System Management Controller? That is a good first step for power related issues such as this.
Best of luck.

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.
