Help my issue is driving me batty

Ok here's my issue starting a little over 36 hours ago my iPhone 4s running iOS 5.1.1 has been emitting a low chirp every so often. I don't know what to do I haven't installed any new apps or downloaded anything for two days when the issue began. I have already done a full restore and still the issue persists when I turn up the volume the sound gets louder. This issue still occurs after I stop my music, put in air plane mode and kill all my running apps. Their is no pattern to the churp it just randomly happen sometimes not for min or sec. I think it may be a hardware issue because when I searched it online I found people on
Mac rumors.com saying they took their iPhone to the genius bar and the apple genius swapped out his battery and told him it might be battery lag and from what he later posted he said the issue did not persist. I am not sure of I should do the same or if anyone can recommend a alternative fix.
Also I have one last question I have had my iPhone less than a full year does it make a difference in the price affect the price apple charges for a battery replacement or is it the same for everyone in terms of pricing?

If you need your battery replaced, its actually extremely easy and you can do it yourself in under 5 minutes. All you need to do is buy this $3 screwdriver and a $15 dollar battery. Slide the back cover up the iPhone after removing the two bottom screws. Unscrew the screw connecting the battery't ribbon cable from the device. Then pull out the battery, and stick in the new one, and put it right back together. That's like a total of $18, instead of how apple charges like $75.
I replace iPhone parts all the time; the battery you can do yourself for cheap.

  • Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy!

    Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy! It syncs 100+ songs, when I only want to sync 1! I'm running Itunes 11.3.1.2

    After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
    - Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
    - reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);

  • Help on issue "SGD/USD - rate does not exist in scenario for"

    Hi Experts,
    Hope that someone may help in issue that I can't seem to fix in TXAK Option pricing engine.
    When trying to generate market data, the program is giving me error message number T0478 - "SGD / USD - rate does not exist in scenario for".
    Your help please to inform me what customizing need to be done to troubleshoot this issue!
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi Mridul,
    I also checked this setting and the exch. rate for SGD/USD has already been set previous to my error. Also, this configuration allows the exch. rate to be valid from a certain date so I don't think that this is what Ravi is referring to..
    From what Ravi said, I need to set an exchange rate for the Evaluation Type that I am using. OB08 doesn't determine which evaluation type is being used.
    Thank you very much for your help, and please do let me know if the question isn't clear so I may explain more.
    Regards,
    David

  • This Mail quirk is driving me batty, please help

    Aloha all (iPhone 3GS v 3.1.2 16gb latest updates installed, no jailbreak) now that that's out of the way here's the issue.
    On home screen amount of messages shows up in Mail. When I open Mail, the amount of messages are still there, however in mail from @me.com as soon as I open the mail all messages disappear. With the other account, my home account through Cox Cable the numbers stay and the correct number of messages show up when I open. Only in the .Mac account do the mail messages disappear. Any thoughts or ideas on this one? I usually have to wait until I get to a computer to log in to .Mac and read the mail. This has basically become a pain in the posterior. Sometimes there is mail in the correct amount, and sometimes there's not. I want .Mac to work badly, but there are becoming so many little issues I'm about ready to cut it loose. I have been very patient, over 3 years, but I've about had it with so many other free apps that do the same stuff, From the slowest backups, unusable iDisk speeds, sorry didn't mean to rant, just want a way for my mail to work properly. Mahalo for any tips, info, suggestions. JB

    If this is a former .Mac account, are you accessing the account as an IMAP or POP account with the email client on your computer used for accessing the account?
    If you are accessing the account as a POP account with an email client on your computer, this can cause problems when accessing the account as an IMAP account with another email client.

  • Help--printing issue driving me crazy

    Hi, I am hoping someone can help me.  I have images that I created in Photoshop at 300dpi, that seem to "all of a sudden" be printing on my HP laser priner in "dots", almost looks like what a dot matrix printer used to print.  Yet when I print something from the internet it comes out fine.   Why would something from Photoshop print this bad and from the web it prints ok?     Thanks much for your help!

    Try re booting the handset by removing the battery.
    Also look in the menu to see if he has changed the settings.
    If all else fails action a factory reset backing up naything you want to keep.

  • Publishing issues are driving me insane!

    Ok, I've been using iWeb for about 12 months and I'm just getting so sick and tired of all the issues. Besides taking forever to upload new content i.e "publishing errors", I'm still struggling to understand why when I say "publish to .mac" after only adding one new blog entry that iWeb pretty much goes and uploads all the content again, even stuff from 12 months ago...It's driving me crazy.
    Anyone got any ideas on how to speed this up?
    Do we know if a new iWeb is being released soon?
    Surely Apple can do better than this.
    I love my iMac but iWeb/ilife is 99% of the reason I bought it and now it takes way too long to get a simple task done.
    Are the new iMac intel users having the same problem? Is iWeb just too resource intensive for the G5?
    Help please.

    i can give you the g4 perspective.
    i almost never get any publishing errors. in fact i can't remember the last time i got one (although i know i have had at least one before). also "publish to mac" makes iweb "rebuild" the majority of the pages i have made, but it only uploads the pages i have changed/added. the rebuilding process does take a while though.
    and on my g4 iweb is a resource hog... super resource hog. i'm expecting the new iweb that should come out with the new ilife when the new OS comes out (educated guess, nothing more) will be even more of a resource hog, but a lot of these little quirks and bugs that people are complaining about will be gone with a lot more features added in their place.

  • Help! Issue with Adobe 8 and Microsoft 2007

    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone can help me. I recently installed Adobe 8 on a laptop running Microsoft 2007. When an email arrives with a word attachment, I double click on the attachment, click open, the word program opens rigth up but the document never appears. There is no error message, just no document. Previewing the document also works.
    Excel attachments work fine. This issue just started happening after Adobe was installed this afternoon. Before that, we had no issues.
    Does anyone have any ideas???
    Any help/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
    Thanks!

    That said, it's also incredibly boring and puts yet another arrow in the quiver for dual wield unholy (which is fast overtaking two-handed unholy for superior damage, thanks to Sudden Doom process and Runic Empowerment) by increasing spell-based damage instead of strike damage. I'd very much like to see this mastery switched out for something that specifically reinforces the two-handed play style, even if it's as simple as adding more physical damage to Scourge Strike based on high-end weapon damage.

  • HT1688 iPhone 4S no WiFi anywhere iOS 5 after Apple Tech help same issue on iOS 6

    ISSUE  - can not connect to any WiFi hotspot at all
    Several weeks ago my daughters iPhone 4S AT&T (on iOS 5) phone number failed to connect to any WiFi hotspot on her college campus including: campus wide WiFi, Starbucks  or her Cisco 1500 WiFi in her dorm room.  She has an iPhone 4S under warranty (I think now in the range of 30-20 more days).
    The iPhone couldn't find any WiFi at all, but her roommates iPhone 4 worked perfectly everywhere on all hotspots.
    So I have been paying for massive data overage charges with AT&T because the iPhone 4S is broken.
    AT&T and then APPLE tech support first  call 4 hours long
    She rented a car and drove home 47 miles (94 miles round trip) and spent the afternoon a few Sundays ago and I spent 4 hours on the phone with AT&T and then Apple support.   I was weird I pointed our that her phone was 0.06GB over capacity e.g. a yellow caution alert in iTunes - but the Apple tech on the phone said just back it up and we would reset and restore it.
    We did all the usual stuff with AT&T and then they gave up and moved us to Apple (backups, resets, then a full system factory revert, and restore) - it was brutal I hadn't seen my daughter in 2 months and her entire visit was a tech support nightmare.
    Despite saying I did not want her to upgrade to iOS 6.X - the apple tech wanted to do a full restore BUT the restore procedure triggered an unwanted iOS 6.X upgrade  (and wiped the phone and started a massive download) without my permission - it was a slow painful 1 hour 40 minute download.  Worse yet I kept thinking that if she is 0.06GB over capacity and the iOS 6.X is "bigger" than 5.X what was going to happen to her phone ?  The apple tech got testy with me when I pointed this out I had to say "you know if a glass of water is overfilled by 0.06 and you want to replace 2 oz with 3 oz (e.g. the iOS upgrade form 5 to 6 ) then obviously it will spill some more - she didn't get it.
    So I have a near 2 hour download - scheduled a call call back but was hung up on (Apples IP phone system couldn't here me talk) and had to go back through AT&T's 611 support number support to get an Apple technician since the Apple line said it was closed - her iPhone was in a limbo 1/2 upgraded state waiting for user input in iTunes.
    During the restore (I say during not after) that her WiFi did start working while the apple tech was on the line BUT the restore was still gong on in the background - her camera roll took 16+ hours to restore ( yes sixteen hours !!!) - during which time she left the phone tethered to her Mac-book didn't use it and left her Mac-book attached to a power source. 
    Overall she says that lost some data and her also her music playlists on her phone, and it did connect to WiFi when the rep was on the line and when she first got back to the her college campus.
    Comments (not related to the issue at hand):
    1. Overall this was a very very time consuming experience - I am a computer guy (not stupid but not super Mac knowledgeable either) but it seems to me that we should be able to attache the iPhone to iTunes and Apple should be able to remote control everything instead of saying click her click there and having Apple technicians say there is a non-existent menu (she was mixed up between Mac OS-X and Windows PC iTunes) here etc. etc.. Seriously why have the end user involved this is 2012 and if the iTunes is on the Internet there is no excuse for not granting access to Apple Tech!
    2. As for iOS 6.X (I loaded it my IPhone 4) your maps are crap and useless I hate it thanks for giving me a worthless mapping system - I gout out my old GPS unit and put it back in my car.  Seriously give us back Google maps. My other daughter gets pop-ups upgrade to iOS 6 but can not load iOS 6 because it then says not enough space.  What a joke !
    ---------------------------------------ISSUE recurred after 1-2 days can not connect to any WiFi at all
    But it only worked for one (1) or two (2) days and then under iOS 6.X the same issue started happening.   Her iPhone 4S failed to connect to any WiFi hotspot on her college campus (LMU) including: campus wide WiFi, Starbucks  or her Cisco 1500 WiFi in her dorm room.  The exact same thing.
    I keep getting hammered on over use cellular charges from AT&T despite she should be cooked due to all the WiFi radiation coursing through her body on campus form both her own Cisco 1500 hotspot and the campus wide network.
    ---------------------------------------AT&T  tech support second call AT&T said the phone was broken Apple should replace
    So it only worked for one (1) or two (2) days despite my daughter driving almost 100 miles and being sucked into a a marathon 4 hour tech support nightmare with Apple.  The net result the exact same thing started happening again no WiFi capabilities again.  So I had her call AT&T at 611 and the AT&T technician talked to her looked at the lengthy case notes from the prior call e.g. the history and said that the iPhone 4S was defective phone no point in wasting another four hours of every one's time.  She was told by AT&T to go to the Apple store get the iPhone replaced as it was under warranty.
    Problem is that she has no way to get to the Apple store (no car) so I now have a 94 mile round trip to pick her up and go to an Apple store before her one (1) year warranty expires - as such I made this appointment.
    I did some more research and this seems to be a pretty big problem for people - Apple is hiding the issue hoping people just go away and they have no concept of cost and time that they force down customers throughts to debug problems.  
    It even seems like Apple actually hid a known problem from me during my initial four hour tech nightmare that Tim Cook admitted publicly on Sept 24, 2012 (last few links) see below links for further research:

    All in all Apple is really dissapointing me 5 iphones and the newer they get the more bugs 3G worked great no issues, iPhone 4 no major issues, iPhone 4S buggy WiFi - never want to use an iPhone 5 form what I am reading.

    No one is going to read your lengthy post.
    If the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide don't work, then bring your phone in for replacement.

  • Report Variable F4 help performance issue

    Hi,
    I have a BI report on DSO >> Multiprovider.
    When i choose F4 Variable help it takes around 2-3 minutes to display the data for selection.
    Currently XXXX chars is with -- Only Posted Values for Navigation. I have tried the below options but could not see any improvement in variable f4 help performance.
    -- Only Values in Infoprovider
    -- Values In Master Data table
    Could someone please suggest if you have faced the similar issue.
    Thanks
    Ashok

    Hello Ashok,
    Ideally you should never built a report based on a DSO, this is because it stores data at a line item level. The way the filter works is that looks at all records (SIDs) lying in the range of selection in the info provider and then displays the filter pane after it populates the records.
    There can only be 1 check in this case, is to check if your DB statistics are up-to-date. The DB statistics decide if an index is to be used or not. So check for the DSO active table and all related SID tables in transaction DB20. Check the date of creation of the statistics, if it's too much in the past, then the DB does not effectively use the indices and hence it takes time.
    You can use program RSANAORA to recompute the statistics.

  • Urgent help - PO issue when receiving

    Dear gurus
    i have an urgent production issue, i have done a mass conversion of all the master data from one plant to another, the scenario is that they are closing down and stopping operations at old plant and moving the entire operations to new plant under the same company code, so for this i did the entire MM master data conversions
    i also changed the delivering plant and address using MASS T-code for all the open PO's line items from old plant to new plant (some of line items had partial open qty and some of them entire open qty)
    <b><u>1st issue:</u></b>
    But when i am doing VL31N inbound delivery, the PO qty is NOT showing up automatically in the delivery qty field, so it is causing issues when trying the do a GR
    <b><u>2nd issue</u></b>
    also another issue is that in the Goods Movement Data tab while using VL31N for GR, it is by default showing the old plant still and is grayed out even though the PO line item contains the new plant code and delivery address, so how can we change the receiving plant to new plant and why it is not picking the new plant still
    so can you please help me on this issue and let me know if there is any settings or resolution
    thanks a lot in advance and appreciate your expert advices
    chakri

    dear chakri,
    you have written that you have converted the material master data, but what about the existing puchase orders, you have to copy all the orders in the new plant .
    or if possible try to chane the delivery address in in the item details of the P.O.
    rewards if useful.

  • When I forward an HTML email with embedded graphics to someone, it forwards it as plain text.. this is driving me batty.. how do I forward such mails INTACT??

    I have the latest Thunderbird installed on a new 64-bit Winblows Eight netbook.. fantastic program, but one problem is driving me absolutely batty, and after using the latest Thunderbird for weeks, I simply can't figure out how to fix it..
    I'm on a lot of mfr. and other kinds of mailing lists, like eBay watch list alerts, and so on.. these are not s p a m (although I get plenty of that.. who doesn't).. but lists I WANT to be on..
    Many such emails from those mailing lists are in HTML format with embedded graphics.. I'm not talking about graphic file attachments, but embedded graphics which are coming from the senders' servers, and appear AS a graphic in the email.. sometimes such emails are one huge graphic with hardly any text.. all well and good..
    However, here's the problem.. when I want to forward such an email to a friend, Thunderbird ALWAYS formats it as plain ASCII text.. I know this because I look in the "sent mail" folder, and can see that it has turned an HTML email with embedded graphics into plain ASCII text..
    I absolutely can't figure out how to get it to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT, so the sender receives it looking the way it looks when I receive it from a mailing list, or an advertiser, or eBay, or whoever..
    Is Thunderbird capable of forwarding an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT?.. If so, how / where do I turn on that capability?..
    If the capability to do this isn't built into the program, is there an add-on I can install that will give it that ability?..
    I am not new to computers.. but this really has me stumped.. I want to put Thunderbird on my 32-bit Vista laptop and stop using its horrible "Windoze Mail" program, which I've been using for years, and is slower than snot, and has all kinds of other problems..
    So, assuming whoever reads this FULLY understands my question, PLEASE tell me how to get Thunderbird to have the ability to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics AS-IS, so the receiver(s) I forward it to see it exactly the way I see it when I receive it.. if that ability is built in, please tell me how to turn it on.. if that ability is not built-in, please tell me what add-on I need to install to give Thunderbird this capability.. if Thunderbird absolutely can't forward an HTML email with embedded graphics at all, please also tell me that..
    A virtual box of candy and a dozen long-stemmed roses to anyone who can give me a solution that works..
    Thanks..

    Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
    Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
    I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
    I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
    Thanks again..
    Harv..
