GE DECT 31591GE1. Contacts=Empty!!!!

Exactly the same problem - just posted on the subject:
Re: GE 31591GE1 phone does not work. Don't buy from eBuyNow
tried different account on the same phone and it worked but still not working with my account. Please help!

I have tried that 5 times and did not work. still showing Empty. However, i have also logged in with my wife's skype details and the phone was showing all her contacts. Maybe it's caused by skypein and skypeout numbers that i have associated to the account... really like the phone but as someone before me said - it's dead at the moment as cannot make calls nor receive and can't see any contacts. Thanks for your help!

Route 66 & N95 - Contacts Empty?

Hey guys,
I just recently got Route 66 on my N95, when I go to navigate in the application and choose "Contacts" the list is empty? It doesn't seem to be reading my contacts.
I have a friend who has tried this on other Nokia S60 phones without any luck either.... anybody know any tricks on how to get the contacts to appear?
Thanks.

The latest version of Route66 (version 8) should run fine, if it doesn't, you're best contacting Route66 support - they're actually very helpful.
If you have the previous version (version 7), then check out these instructions that Route66 support sent me when I asked them whether my version 7 software could run on an N95 8GB:
1) Connect the Nokia N95 to your PC via connection cable.
2) On the screen of the phone the following choices will display:
- Media player
- PC suite
- Data Transfer
3) Choose " Data Transfer"
4) The phone will appear as an "external HDD" on your computer.
5) Run ROUTE 66 Mobile 7.
6 Select the "Browse content" option and then select and open "MultiMediaCardImage” folder.
7) Copy the content of the folder from the Mobile 7 CD/DVD to the N95 HDD.
8) Save on the desktop of your computer the update file from the following link:
http://www.66.com/route66/support.php?cid=UK&sec=1&ssec=4
9) From the desktop, run it directly on the phone.
10) Disconnect the cable from PC.
Open Mobile 7 from thr phone’s main menu
Also check in Settings – Phone settings > Phone settings > General > Positioning -> Positioning methods and make sure you select “integrated GPS”, and not Bluetooth.

Server 4.0 - Contacts empty for clients

On Mac OS X 10.0 Yosemite with installed Server 4.0 App I started the Contacts Server.
But on a client, I can see the Server in the AddressBook, but the directory is empty and I not able to add a new contact.

I select the server account on the side and then choose from the menu 'new contact' (sorry, I use a german system and don't have the exact english names).
I can create a contact, but it was created on Local.

6600 fold - contacts empty but somewhere in phone

On monday I wasn't able to make calls due to "error in connection". I checked the Nokia site and there it stated that I had to backup my phone, install new firmware and restore the backup.
For some odd reason, the backup didn't get all of my contacts, so I created a csv file to import them.
Importing contacts worked, they are visible in 'Nokia Communication Centre'. But they are NOT visible on the contacts on my phone. When I hit the 'names', it showes (empty).
But when I create an sms, I am able to match the "to", so the contacts are somewhere on the phone. Also when calling someone, are receiving a call, the caller's name shows.
Any help is appreciated, because I'm done experimenting an trying...

Think I got it! I reset the factory settings, and did the firmware upgrade again, 3 times until it finally was succesful.
Then imported the contacts via PC suite, and there they were!
After that I restored the calendar and messages from a backup. Strangest thing: contacts were gone again!
Re-imported them again, and once they were on my phone, unplugged it and uninstalled pc Suite.
That was the last time I connected my phone to pc

When i try to add a contact to the send box contact box is empty

when I press the contacts tab I have 26 contacts.when I try to add a contact in the e-mail send box there are no contacts=empty.
e-mail works fine in internet explorer with same contacts file.I started having this problem last week. Reloaded firefox and still had same problem.

Hi,
I'm sorry you're having this problem with your contacts and Firefox. Can you tell me which email you are trying to use in Firefox, so I can research it and help you out?
Thanks,
Michelle

Contact Title "Empty"

I am using the iphone 4 (3g) with Verizon.
I sync my iphone with my Windows Outlook on my PC for work (Windows 7 Office 2010). The phone works and syncs great with emails, contacts, calendars, etc. I just have one issue that I would like to solve. Below is a description of the issue I am having.
When I compose a new email message in outlook, and pick a current contact such as (example) - 'Bob Smith' ([email protected]) and send the message-No Problems arise as this is already a contact on my phone and I picked his name.
BUT when I type in an email address IN OUTLOOK that isnt a current contact, such as [email protected] and send the email - well if I check my address book on the IPHONE, I now have a contact with the name "empty." If I edit the contact "empty", it shows the email that I emailed in outlook (ie. [email protected]) - name fields are blank. Then I have to proceed to delete the contact since I have no need to save him as a contact and since I dont want to have 25 contacts in my contacts list that say "empty" (one for every email address I address that isnt a current contact).
Does anyone know how to stop this?
Thanks

Synch new phone and not all contacts/calendars came over

Hey, I had a 3gs and did a sync like 2 days ago, now I bought the 4s, did the sync, and lost almost all my contacts, any ideas?

thanks for your reply and input but, Im not sure if it was former or latter that I did, however I do know that I named this latest i phone differently and would have been OK with and expected expected old contacts to be added to the new ones I have recently added directly onto the new phone since I have had it rather than just the old one. I did try the undue/ unsync but this just seemed to remove all the old backed up ones just added leaving contacts empty? Clearly its my error, but what can be done to restore setting back to time before I connected today? earlier reset points on itunes show as 2 years ago and relate to old phone.

Blackberry Messenger: Contact Pending

ok, so I figured out how to get the PIN and send an inventaion to a friend for the Blackberry Messenger. Here's my problem... I have sent multiple invitations to my friend and he has sent multiple to me over the last couple of days, but for some reason when I open the application he is still listed as pending and neither he or myself has recieved the invitaion to actually accept it.
Any tips or tricks to assist me with this issue would awsome!!! Thanks

I double and even triple checked the PIN's from both phones and they are correct.
First I opened the the BBMessenger App. and scrolled down to contact and clicked on the track ball, from there I was sent right to my address book. I then scrolled down to my buddies name and hit the track ball again, this is when I recieved the Invitation notice to send to his phone. Unfotunatley the invite hasn't been received and he is still pending
Also, the reason I entered the PIN manually into his conact info on my is because originally when I was in the BBMessenger App and I would try to add a contact I would be sent to the address book. From there I would scroll down to his name and hit the track ball, his number would then come up and I hit the track ball again. A small menu opens that list: Edit, Delete, Send to Messenger Contact, & Full Menu. When I click on Send to Messneger another window opens that states: Select a Contact: *Empty*

TB v. 24.0: Changed ISP's; ~ new email in Server Settings & Outgoing Server & all Address Books and Contacts; TB still showing old email ID for Fwd & Rply

TB v. 24.0, Win 7 Pro. Changed ISP's. I use Outlook 2007; wife uses TB, same box. Changed TB username & e-mail address in Server Settings & Outgoing Server & set as Default. Changed e-mail address in all address books and Contact lists. Now TB still showing old e-mail address in <From> when Reply or Forward. This is confusing recipients, who have been sending their replies off to a now-nonexistent account. Checked Windows Contacts - empty. Checked my Outlook 2007 - all Contacts changed appropriately. How do I kill that old e-mail address in TB when it isn't even listed any more - except when we try to Reply or Forward?

When you got the new email address and changed ISP's, you needed to create a new mail account for that new existing email address.
When a mail account is created there are many preferences setup to be able to manage and run that mail account. Trying to track down and modify all of those within the either the config editor or prefs.js is not only time consuming, but you could easily cause further problems if any error is made.
So I suggest you fix the original account by reentering all the old data. Then create a new mail account for the new exisitng mail address.
* File > New> Existing mail account.
or
* 3bar menu icon > New Message > Existing Mail account.
when you have both mail accounts in your left folder pane, you can choose to move any wanted emails from the older mail account into suitable folders in Local Folders. This will save a copy of emails.
Then you can delete the old account, leaving saved emails in Local Folders and only one new mail account.
To remove mail account:
* Tools > Account sEttings
* select old mail account
* click on 'Account Actions'
* select 'Remove Account'
* click on OK

HT4436 no contacts in iCloud

I have the latest iPhone 5s and icloud. I have no other devices attached to my iCloud account although I do own an ancient Macbook running Snow Leopard that refuses to die. When I look in iCloud, Notes and Reminders are there but my contacts empty (other than my own email address). I can successfully run backup to iCloud. Why aren't my contacts showing up?

It's most likely because they don't belong to the iCloud account. (iCloud only syncs contacts that belong to the iCloud account.)
Open the contacts app on your device and tap Groups. Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section). Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account.

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.
Apple's test methodology for claiming the specs:

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!

4. Fully discharge battery (till it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
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
This is the MacRumors discussion:

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!
Comments
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

Help with folders on ipod

Okay, recently I ran into a problem where my ipod would randomly skip most of the songs on it. The song titles and song lengths were there, but it would just skip right over it. I told my friend about it, and he said that someone had screwed around with the folders you see when you open the iPod through My Computer (I have Windows XP). He suggested that the sources of the songs might have been messed around with and the iPod couldn't locate the source of the songs, and that I might be able to get it working if I could put the files and folders back in order. I was wondering of any of you could help me with this. These are the folders and the files inside the folders as they are now:
- Calendars: Empty
- Contacts: Empty
- Notes: One file called .DS_STORE (7kb), one called Instructions, and three word documents I saved on it.
- .Trashes: One Folder called 501: one file called ._501
- 501 (another folder called 501): contains one file called ._501 and another called .DS_STORE (larger at 22kb).
- Digidesign Databases: one file called ._.VolumeIcon.icns (1kb), one called .ipodcontrol, ._.VolumeIcon.icns (35kb), and one called volume.ddb.
That's it.
As I said before, my friend suggested that the problems I have with listening to some tracks may be caused by these folers and files being all out of place, so if any one could help me put them in their proper place, perhaps I could recover these songs. Thanks in advance.

If all your music is on itunes and that plays fine I'd just reformat my ipod and restore the music files from iTunes. I'm assuming that your iTunes library matches what's on your iPod - if it doesn't I would be retisent to try and recover what's on your ipod using one of the many third party tools to update /mirror iTunes.

Want to import Edge animation as hover over link reaction, is there a good tutorial for this?

Hey guys, I just got Edge Animate yesterday, and I understand most of the animation techniques since it's very similar to After Effects. However I am having trouble integrating it with Dreamweaver. So far I can publish is as an .html file and hotlink to it. What this does right now in a preview browser, I will click on the link connected to the EdgeAnimate.html file and it will open a new window, play the animation and that's it. (I know you can set images in the animation to thier own links as well, just don't have it set up yet)
However, what I actually want to accomplish is to use these animations in my main dreamweaver website layout I am currently working on right now. As an example, let's say I have 4 link buttons in this crude layout:
-Images             |              empty space                |
-Videos           |              empty space                |
-About              |              empty space                |
-Contact            |              empty space                |
When I hover over the links on the lefthand side, let's say the "Images" link, I'd like a short animation I made in Edge to play in the    | empty space |   part of my web layout. When I hover over the other links, I want the animation they trigger to be different. When I click on the link, it will take you to a different page.
I hope this made sense and someone can lend me a hand, it will be greatly appreciated. I am pretty new to Dreamweaver so many of the code terms are a bit difficult to understand still.
Thanks in advance!
p.s. if there are video tutorials or something that already covers this, a link to that would be great.

Hi there!
You could easily make the buttons with the rollover animation in Edge Animate itself, rather than have the animation separate from the links in Dreamweaver. You would make an animation in a symbol and then reference the symbol in the rollover function of the link. I'm providing a sample project below for you to check out:
https://creative.adobe.com/share/c0a2785d-1a43-482b-afa2-11620b367e8
If you need further clarification, let me know. After you create your links and animations you can import the entire navigation into your Dreamweaver project using Insert > Media > Edge Animate Composition.
I hope this helps!

Poking and hoping on BT email

I have newish PC with windows 7 and use Firefox and Thunderbird for Emails.
I upgraded to new BT mail ages ago and it worked fine - I reset all my disposable email address's and other bit's that needed doing - Everything worked fine and as I use Thunderbird I had no reason to come back in to BT Mail.
However for last few month's I have found my emails gone - I log into Bt home page where my account is - click for BT mail and it opens. I get the hello box listing all my email address's - also get purple bar with "What's new-Mail-Contact's-Calender and setting".
That's it- click mail - empty page. -click contacts - empty page and so on-- All emails have gone so have contacts. - setting comes up to allow me to set time and day.
That's all I have and can do.
I could have clicked something somewhere - either on Thunderbird or on Bt mail - I have no idea - one day it was fine and next time nothing.
Can anyone shed any light on this please - although I rarely use BT mail I need to access disposable and other settings.
Thanks
Dave
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have had the emails but not sure of contact's - I had to have had emails to set up my disposable emails -- At the moment I can't do anything as page is blank below purple strip - nothing down left hand side like Inbox -Sent -deleted -draft -junk - Nothing what so ever so can't even send a mail.
I seem to remember looking at Thunderbird and seeing the option to delete emails on server but pretty sure I left it as was just in case Thunderbird went down.
It's just as though email account been deleted although I still have to log in as it's asking - I would think if I didn't have a email account it wouldn't ask me to log in.
As I said in first post my email address's come up on box to right of screen above purple tool bar and can click on other 4 address's and they change but are still blank as well.
One other thing - on purple tool bar the first option is "What's new" when I click that I get box up saying "connection lost" ??
I have no idea.
