my iphone 4 stopped working suddenly....it wouldnt charge or anything...i was told to push the on button and the home button at the same time and it came back on.
is this a fault with the iphone????
i cant have my phone switching off randomly...any help please...thankyou.
sometimes it happens, a hard reset will sometimes solve the issue.
If the issue starts happening more often, I would consider restoring the device to factory settings to install clean software. If the issue still persists after that, the device might need a hardware repair.

Good luck

IMessages on my iPhone stopped working suddenly.
My iMessages stopped working. I tried to turn off iMessages and back on, then tried to activate with my email address and when I try to sign in with apple id it goes to the screen where it shows the email address, and when I hit next it displays "verifying" and then goes back to the sign in page. I am currently not in range for cellular signal but I am on wifi. Shouldn't I be able to sign in with just my email address, as now it does not display my phone # because I do not have a cellular signal? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update to my original issue: Before this issue occurred, I changed the time on my iPhone to manual so I could set it to match the time zone I was in. Again, I had no cell signal which is why I set my iPhone clock to manual. What I did to fix iMessages...I went back in under settings and set the clock back to "Set Automatically". Then I had to double click on the Home button to bring up the apps that were running in the background on my phone. I found the Messages app and deleted it from the apps that were currently running. I then went back under settings, into the Messages setting and tried to sign back in to iMessages just using my email address. This time I was able to sign back in to iMessages. Then I opened my Messages app and was able to send iMessages again. Evidently when I messed with my Date and Time settings, it did something to my iMessages. No clue as to why, if anyone has any idea why altering my time settings would cause iMessages to stop working, feel free to let me know so I can better understand this problem.

IMail on iPhone stopped working - suddenly!
I started getting a message saying my email and password were incorrect so no email was coming through. That was not the problem. I deleted then reactivated my Apple ID based account on the iPhone. Now the message I am getting is that my Apple ID cannot be used with MobileMe Mail? Hello? It was working fine up to this point. Yes, I have moved to iCloud - more than a month ago. No problems until now.

My phone switches off randomly
in the pastr couple of days my battery just switches off, no warning, no battery drained or anything and when i put the charger on, the battery life is almost half full, i've even resorted to getting a car charger now just to be safe, can any1 assist
I had the same issue. My carrier replaced my device to fix this. There was a problem with the on board memory. I went through a lot of troubleshootig so I hope this saves you some time. Nothing worked for me.. replacement batteries, software reloads, nothing. it would just randomly reboot whether I was using it or not.

Hi there,
Can someone please help. My IPhoneS stopped working right after I did the latest update which was yesterday. Now, the phone does not work at all. When turned on, the screen shows a picture of USB cable pointing to the ITunes logo. I have tried just about everything, and cannot get it working. It's like it is frozon. My ITunes does not recognize my device. Cannot dial out either. I desperately need to get it working. Can someone please help me.
Thanking you in advance for your help. :-)The update did not do anything.
AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network. -

If the on/off button at the top of my iphone stopped working, how can i shutdown the phone and rebot?
Use Assistive Touch. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > Device > Lock Screen. To turn OFF, hold down on the lock screen until slide to power off appears. To turn ON, connect iPhone to power, charger or USB port of computer.

NB520 - Wifi stopped working suddenly on its own
Hi,
I bought my NB520 in Singapore.
The WIFI was working properly for almost 3 years until recently I have this strange problem.
It stopped working suddenly on its own last June for almost 2 weeks.
Just when I was about to send it to the repair centre, it came back on again.
But the WIFI comes on and off for a few more weeks before it stabalised.
It works ok ever since, until 3 days ago it went off again like the last time.
Usually, when I switch on the netbook, the WIFI indicator (red light) will come on within seconds.
To use Bluetooth, I just right click on the Bluetooth icon and press "Enable Bluetooth Function" and Bluetooth will turn on.
But now when I do that, it tells me to "Plug in Bluetooth device".
Is this a hardware or software problem ?
I spoke with a local technician but she is unsure too.
Would appreciate if you can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Fionna> Is this a hardware or software problem ?
This can be answered very easily recovering the notebook back to factory settings.
But I guess this is not an option for you at this time. Isnt it?
However, the issue you are talking in your post looks like the WLan isnt enabled and chosen properly.
Usually you can use the FN + F8 key combination to enable and disable the WLan and BT module.
Pressing both keys would switch between WLan and BT as well as disable and enable the modules.
Did you test this in the past?
In case the FN + F8 would not work as it should, I would recommend you to download the Wlan driver from Toshiba page released for this notebook series and to reinstall the Wlan driver.
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. -
wifi stopped working suddenly? and will not turn on in system preferances
Under the Advanced wi-fi Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Just clicked on the wi-fi symbol on top bar (sorry do not know name of bar, if some else dose?) and it states that No Hardware installed
Any help please.I can add my macbook pro to the list of 'wifi: no hardware installed' victims.
At the London Regent Street Store yesterday (after an hour's wait beyond appointment time) the Genius test said it was a hardware fault and the airport card must be faulty/dead. However, when I got home I turned the mbp on and, as if by magic, wifi was working normally. About 3 hours later it failed. I switched off overnight. It's been dead most of the day so I did a complete clean up using Onyx, restarted and, yes, you guessed it, wifi was back.
I guess it could be a faulty airport card but it seemsthere are an awful lot of airport cards failing all at the same time! Coincidence or a software glitch post 10.7.2? Various forums now seem to have plenty of entries from mac owners with this same problem.
How do we get an official response from Apple on this? In my experience Apple are fantastic at addressing this kind of issue once they know. How can we ensure they are aware?

My Iphone 3gs Os 4.3.5 switch off randomly and it wont switch on untill you plug it!!
Since the update for IOS 4 (it could be not related as well) and my iPhone 3gs is switching off randomly
- it may switch off while using any application (Mail, Camera, photos, facebook...etc)
- when you switch on it stays on apple logo until it crush down again,
- sometimes if you try to switch it on again, it give battery low even though the battery could be full
- the only way to switch it on again is to plug it into any power source (PC or wall)
- I'm using the latest version (4.3.5) since i have hope in every released update
if you need any details please ask for itHonestly I replaced the phone battery with a battery from the local market (I don't even know if its original or not) but it cost me around 50$, and it worked perfectly since then.
so its either the battery is not compatible with IOS 4 or its simply dead!
best of luck with yours... -
First I buy the phone and it had a heating problem within a few days. Since i bought it from Dubai and live in India it probably took we two weeks to get it back there. They said it was a battery issue and replaced it. Then it started switching off randomly when it has ample charge. This seems to be something they are working on but I would like a replacement. I bought it from a distributor in Dubai (EMax) and they say their policy allows replacement only if it is irrepairable. Does this make any sense if the thing has been having issues since the begining? I am sending it back for the third time now ( Yes all the way back to Dubai!!) What can I do if they further refuse to replace it? Would Apple take this seriously even though I did not but it from an Apple Store?
Your problem is that you purchased your phone from a non-official source. When you do that, & you don't even live in the country you purchased the phone in, you're basically on your own. Apple won't help you, & neither will any of the authorized sources in India or Dubai.
Sorry, but you're on your own here. -
