Identified a design flaw in the iPhone

i was on the iPhone speakerphone with my parents and suddenly this mentally troubled girl i know sends me a message consisting of a single 3 letter expletive. i get the popup saying reply/cancel i press cancel.
she sends it again - i cancel it again. and again and again on like 4th time i accidentally end the call with my parents.
so i am trying to call them back but at this point she starts repeating the word every second or so so i am constantly getting the popup reply/cancel so i keep pressing cancel but before the screen cancels the new popup is there and the transparent glass popup takes the entire screen so i can't access the phone buttons to call my parents back.
now my parents are calling me and i am trying to pick up the phone but the crazy girl is still firing away at about 40 messages per minute.
long story short i was unable to either pick up on my parents or call them back until she stopped about 2 minutes later.
it was VERY frustrating ! ! !
this is unacceptable. i cannot lose control of my cell phone the second somebody starts texting me !
the interface must be redesigned such that the reply/cancel popup doesn't block the rest of the screen. instead it should appear as a bar on top or bottom of the screen and the rest of the screen should compress a bit so u can still go about your business while the crazy people are having a breakdown.
what if i was in a car using iphone as a GPS ? i might have gotten killed.
serious serious flaw !

Read between the lines, people. You're missing the point: the Text Message Popup Window interferes with normal operation of an application that is in use. IE: GPS mapping software....which is probably most useful while driving, no? The OP's point was that if he was trying to use some kind of GPS MAPPING while driving, the text message popups will get in the way of that use. The app still works, yes, but it's more, unnecessary buttons to push...
I agree that at times the Text Popup can be problematic and a less intrusive alert window should be considered. I wouldn't call it a serious design flaw, though. It's just Apple not fully considering usability under certain conditions.

  • Love the iPhone but Endless Spin with EDGE--Will it Improve???

    I got the iPhone one week ago today and although I had a 30 hour wait for activation, all week I have absolutely loved everything about this wonderful product. I could not be more of a fan and have found many of the complaints of others, though obviously sincere, to be without substance in my case...except for ONE!
    I can not believe how painfully slow the Internet Access is over the EDGE system. I am so tired of seeing that little Apple Star rotating in ENDLESS SPIN. If I am using WiFi it is fine, but the main idea of having this product for me was to be able to have access to the Internet when I was away from WiFi services!
    Sometimes pages will not load at all and I just give up, other times they are so very slow that it becomes hopeless to try to browse or make any use of the connection, and this applies to Safari, Weather, E-mail, Google, and all the other features that connect to the Web.
    I am not saying that EDGE does not work at all, or am I suggesting there is any flaw with the iPhone, I assume it has to do with the network, with traffic, or whatever. But my question is, are others having this problem to a degree that it is making you feel depressed about the otherwise wonderful product and its performance? And more important, will it improve?
    Do we have any official word on that or even any acknowledgement from Apple or AT&T that there is a problem and that things will get better?
    I have recommended this phone to many friends but I have to honestly tell them that this is a problem and if they drop their Blackberry and other services they need to consider this first. I have not used one of the other phones so I have no idea if they are better or worse in this area but I know the iPhone can not be successful without a good Internet connection. The whole idea makes no sense without it!
    James

    The short answer is really NO. EDGE speed will not get faster. IN fact, it has sped up over the past two months to the maximum in most areas. It is indeed true that some areas have slightly higher speeds than others, but none are super fast. 3G runs at 4 - 5 times the speed of EDGE. My EDGE service either here in Ann Arbor/Detroit or last weekend in NYC never has gone above 160 (some report upto 220 in some areas elsewhere). My old Blackjack 3G phone would never be slower than 880, and usually in the 1200 range most of the time).
    That being said, I had a 3G phone from ATT which I hated even though it was fast. I am willing to take the compromise on EDGE for now.
    A few hints:
    - Edge speed seems to be faster in the early morning and in the evening than during the day when everyone is logging on - if you have wifi at work, switch over to that
    - Set up mobile favorites rather than full internet sites -- they work about as fast as the 3G guy next to you on EDGE...for example, I have set up on my phone:
    - m.yahoo.com
    - m.yahoo.com/p/sports
    - mobileapp.espn.go.com/wireless/espn/redesign/index
    - webologistdesign.com/gomovies/demo/index.php
    - m.USAToday.com
    - m.NYTimes.com
    IN order, I can check all my mobile favorites on yahoo, my selected yahoo sports teams, anything on ESPN, movies by zipcode (a clever app someone on this web site created!), USA Today, and the NY Times.
    There are a lot of mobile (m) websites designed over the years to work with cell phones that are really fast and zippy and give you all the data you need without all the advertisements and photos that take up a lot of time to load on EDGE. Check your favorite websites and you will probably find a mobile version as well. You can even set up a mobile Google site that only looks up mobile websites when you seek data.
    Finally, another idea - for those who want their sports scores, ATT has notification text messages you can set up for your favorite teams that will send you the scores at the end of innings, quarters, halftime, or at the end of a game. Pick the teams you want and have the scores sent to you with SMS without any internet lookup time needed. You can turn them on or off as you want from ATT's website.

  • Design Flaw in Twin Frozr fans

    So, I'm finally creating a thread about this.
    There's been reports over the last few years about fans making rattling noises, grinding noises, high pitched whines, whether on cold boot, idle, high RPM, or constantly, and quite frankly I'm tired of MSI ignoring the issue.
    There is a design flaw with the Twin Frozr fans.
    MSI needs to publicly acknowledge this.
    Currently, the only way to get a replacement fan is to send your ENTIRE card in for repair.  Other more reputable companies will send you out an entirely new fansink attachment at no cost.  As one poster said it; "That would be like sending my car to Nissan every time I blow a tire"
    My personal experience with Twin Frozr started with Twin Frozr 2 on my GTX 460 Hawks.  The Talon Attack edition started to make a bad grinding noise on cold boot or if it actually got cold enough during idle operation.  When the card warmed up, the noise stopped.  Speeding up the fan to 100% sometimes also caused it to get rid of the noise, but that was only temporary unless the card stayed warm.
    My non-hawk exhibited rattling as well, but to a lesser extent.  No grinding noise on cold boot, just a low rattling.
    My next card was a GTX 670 PE with Twin Frozr 4.  Surely they fixed the issue by now right?  Wrong!  Within 30 days I started having fan issues.  This fan doesn't rattle, but there is a high pitched whine when the fan is in operation.  The faster the RPM, the louder the whine.  Most people don't even know they have this issue because of the subtle tone of the whine and it being muffled by the fan's air sound at higher RPMs.
    That's 3 separate graphics cards all exhibiting an issue with their fans.
    There's one thing in common with these issues; it's only caused by the fan closest to the I/O.  This boggles my mind.  Surely if there was a problem with the fan design itself it would affect both fans, right?  I just don't understand it.  This leads me to believe it's a design flaw with the Twin Frozr design.
    Some people seem to have an issue with the other fan, but it appears to be rare and not the same type of problem the majority of people are reporting.
    Seeing as they want you to lose your card (and $10+ to ship it) for weeks at a time to 'fix' an issue which will no doubt happen again, something needs to be done about this.  Their 'warranty' policy for this issue is completely unacceptable, as is the fact that the fans start acting up within a month of ownership.

    I don't think we have a MSI office in Portugal, most brands don't.
    Some stores are not reliable they buy from EU retailers some even from Asia retailers and usually they don't give proper support. In Lisbon you have stores like Globaldata, Nanochip, Chiptek and AquaPC they are in business for years, have good customer support and have also good prices.
    I'm probably not going to buy any MSI product from now on , for obvious reasons.
    Trying to contact a support shoudn't be this hard from a client , at this point I assume anyone that's doesn't want to lose time will just give up.
    As a consumer I was forced to RUN and TRY to find msi support , MSI support mail doesn't event exist , since I made this thread it still hasn't been changed.
    I really liked MSI ( I still have my 875P MSI neo here with my p4 and the NX6800 working ) it's like saying goodbye to an old friend that has been by my side since P4 times.
    I'll buy msi products in US , or in another country maybe , but never MORE in portugal.
    This is not cause of the shops , I recommend everyone to buy in the shops listed !!
    In fact most of the portuguese shops tried to help me find msi support ( even though they weren't the stored that sold me the card ).
    I really don't want ppl to get this mixed up, the problem here is MSI not acknowledging a problem that is simple to fix, having a non-existant email on their webpage as support for over 4 months and the fact that as a consumer I was forced to jump trough loops to actually contact MSI itself !
    Every portuguese shop I contacted was super nice and really helpful pointing me to the new msi email
    And actually the fix ( hot needle fix forum post link ) came from a shop reply.
    US support was always super nice and helpful !
    I was forced to fix my fan with the help of users.
    If right now my MSI gpu is working is thanks to guru3d and hardwareoc and simillar forums ( thanks to everyone that posted Twin Frozn fixes , this may not mean much , but really .. thanks for helping me out ! )
    MSI didn't help or even try to help me , I had to go out of my way to get help , and I never did.
    I know some of those stores , they have great prices , but if I buy anything in portugal I'll buy other brands for obvious reasons. ( it was actually one of those shops that helped me pinpoint the "real" msi email )
    I am a customer , I should be treated as such , I was joked and pushed around emails , found emails that don't even exist , I was ignored and left looking at a card going dead.
    Maybe for some of you it's easy , you just buy another one .... and maybe that's the custommer MSI wants. But that's not me.
    Pointing me to places to buy MORE is almost insulting at this point. I wont buy more ... I would be stupid of I did.
    I just hope some other person that has MSI and is having this problem with Twin Frozn fans ( that msi refuses to acknowledge as THEIR problem !! ) can fix them themselves or take some info from my posts and others to at least understand what is happening.
    From my pov , the fan eventually has some sort of lubrication problem , and due to that it starts to wobble , after that the coils heat up to a point it wobbles even more.
    Due to the high temps the fan either "looses" enough to dump all the lubing out.
    At some point the fan will heat up so much the plastic IS REALLY hot to the touch and fells that it can be actually moldable ( so I assume this is really bad )
    This leads to the start-stop problem , the fan tries to kick itself on , but just makes things worse.
    This leads to a fan that fails in 2-3 years.
    MSI should either had a way to put oil in the fan OR just start to be ready to replace them.
    The fact that IS an ebay market for Twin Frzn fans is just flabbergasting .
    I wish I had a better view on this , but seriously looking at this thread,  and seeing all the steps I have done , to find there are others like me that have a failing fan and that the ones that aren't ignored like me have to RMA a card for a simple fan doesn't give me any sort of confidence in this brand.
    MSI has one of the best gpu coolers  , honestly it's so god that after all this mess I stand as a testimony for it being one of the BEST gpu coolers around ! All my MSI products so far have been great ... but this experience was just ... weird ..
    I wish MSI would contact the ppl that are in my position and help them , it's just a fan  , it's an easy fix and it's easy to replace.
    There are lots of ppl right now with fans starting to fail , just take their card , replace the fan and send them back , and MSI will have happy customers , HAPPY cause the brand CARED !
    I'm only 1 client , MSI hardly "fells" me leaving ... I really like MSI ... so I wish this won't ever happen again to no one !
    I have been ignored in mailing for TDR problems , after that about the 12h+ card artifacting being fixed with cold boot ( I assume this was an nvidia problem )
    After using certain drivers that didn't TDR my card ( I have enough PSU for it so ... it's not the PSU ) and having been 2 years finding my own "solutions" to problems ... being ignored and just struggling to get help from MSI for a stupid FAN a cheap part and being hard just to contact them to get no answer .... and getting help from other users while MSI ignores me ? ... I'm thinking on leaving the brand ...
    The fans are now working 100% , I'll post info when and if they fail ( if I see my "fix" stopped working ) .
    It has now been a long time since 2011 and my first reports , and its been almost 6 months since I contacted msi about the portuguese email listed not existing.
    The email is still there , that non-existent email is STILL listen in MSI website RIGHT NOW after me being emailing them about it for 4+ months ,as a customer,  I can only assume they either ignore people , or they have a terrible communications internally .
    Again after all this mess , I would be kinda stupid to support or try to buy another product from this brand , MSI support was always great and was the main reason I bought msi products, all this posts are from a person that was truly SHOCKED in everything that is happening and the feeling that no one cared.

  • Is it possible to change a new one if the Iphone 5 wake button is not working?

      I heard the iphone 5 wake up button has a disign defect. Will they give me a free repairing even my iphone is over warranty?

    Heard from who?  Unless it was Apple, assume they are full of manure.
    There are no design issues with the iPhone 5.
    Warranty is one year from date of purchase, beyond that, hardware issues are handled via an Out of Warranty replacement which is $269US.

  • ServiceLocator design flaw in Petstore 1.3

    Hello.
    As far as I can understand, there seems to be a design flaw in the Petstore 1.3 implementation of the Service Locator.
    The ServiceLocatorImpl class, which is the base class of ShoppingClientServiceLocatorImpl has an attribute session, that holds the HttpSession object passed with the sessionCreated method call. It uses the session to store there the WebClientController reference.
    The problem seems to be that it uses the session member object to get back the WebClientController in the getWebClientController method. But isn't it only one instance of the ServiceLocatorImpl per application? It seems like there should be only one ... And if this is true, then this means that when a new client session begins, the session member object is overriden, and you will never find the data from other sessions, and the lookup will be done for each call to getWebClientController....
    Am I right or totally wrong with the number of instances of ServiceLocatorImpl?
    Regards,
    Cristian

    i think you are wrong.
    They are several instances of serviceLocator per application. In fact, one for each client.
    There is one client web controller per client which lets handles event to the EJB ontroller (but there is only one ejb controller which is accesed throught its remote interface, this why the methods are synchronized).

  • Has anyone with the iPhone had a problem with 7.3 itunes?

    I'm curious to know if people who bought the iphones have had the same problems with 7.3 itunes that seems so prevalent on the discussion board (like getting the error message in saving the library file, or frequent crashes).
    I'd love to know, because if not, then it seems as if 7.3 is designed specifically for the iPhone (supposedly the iPhones only works with 7.3), and that may be why the rest of us non-iphone consumers are having a miserable time with the upgrade.
    Can you iphone people let us know?
    thanks.

    I have an iPhone and since I've upgraded to 7.3, iTunes constantly stops responding and I've had to force quit. I've reinstalled iTunes countless times and deleted the iTunes preferences in my library file and while this works for 1 or 2 times, it soon does it all over again. Help!

  • W530 drive bay design flaw - drive slide out of connectors​?

    Hi, I recently purchased a W530 with a hard drive bay and I've been experiencing trouble with the bay.
    The problem is that there is no mechanism in the drive bay to keep the drive "in bay" - i.e. connected. Because of a small gap between the drive and the wall of the bay the drive will slide out of the connector when the laptop is put in the bag vertically.
    this seems to me like a major design flaw in the drive bay, and I'm wondering if others are experiencing the same issue and know about any workarounds.

    First, you buy the right 12.7mm-high UltraBay HDD caddy adapter that is compatible with the W530. Second, you put the HDD in the hollow space of the caddy adapter and secure the HDD with the four tiny screws that are provided as part of the caddy adapter. Finally, you plug the whole thing (caddy **bleep** drive) into the UltraBay until the secure latch "clicks" and the caddy bezel flushes evenly with the right side of the chassis.
    There are no "rubber rails" involved.
    There are NO screws supplied with the Lenovo 12.7mm UltraBay caddy. The caddy presumes that you are using a Lenovo supplied HDD with the drive tray and the rubber rails Look at the diagrams on the flexible cover on the caddy. The Newmodeus caddy uses screws only (supplied) and does not need the rubber rails nor the drive tray.

  • Disgraceful Design Flaw and Apple Response re: Docking issues

    For everyone having issues trying to dock their Ipod Touch 4th gen the problem is clearly a design flaw with the slanted angle on the units rendering them incompatible with the majority of the docking systems of IHome / Bose / Denon or whatever. If you look at the pin on the USB cable that came with the Ipod, you'll see that it is smaller then the pins of the docking stations. I find it amazing that Apple has been entirely quiet regarding this issue even after all of the posts here about the problems people are having.
    With all the money and huge sales that Apple is enjoying, we should DEMAND---but they should have offered---an adapter---FREE !!! that will allow us to use our old IHomes/Bose/Denon...or whatever systems. SHAME ON APPLE---If they don't do something to correct this problem, they should realize that we will not purchase any other Apple products until this issue is resolved

    YEp, at first there were tons of individual complaint messages, and so I decided to create a website with a simple list of everyone having the issue. I said so in the forums and the Apple guys locked my account for bad behaviour (!!!!) and closed down the whole thread (with hundreds of messages).
    I put it up on the web, complaining out loud of this bad move for Apple PR. Even got to be interviewed by a few internet media companies from the US and Australia.. and after that I got a call from the regional executive officer of Apple Europe (in Ireland).
    They unlocked my account and agreed to inspect the case. They asked me to go to a service centre where they would exchange the cover and send the deffective one to California for testing.
    Even today, after 2 years, if you look for my name on google you get more than 1,000 results just about this issue.

  • Moving to another country and bringing the iphone

    Hi,
    I bought an iPhone 3G in Venezuela in January. There you are not tied to a contract but the cell is locked. If I move to US or Canada and I want to use the iPhone how can I do?
    I have reviewed several Q/A and according to the link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937 in Venezuela there is not "Carrier offers
    authorized unlocking"
    Thanks!

    If your iPhone was sold as carrier locked with the designated carrier for the iPhone in Venezuela, your iPhone remains carrier locked with the designated carrier in Venezuela regardless if you purchased the iPhone under contract or on a pay-as-you-go basis.
    If your iPhone was sold as carrier locked with the designated carrier in Venezuela and it sounds like it was, you need to contact that carrier regarding if they are willing to unlock your iPhone for you. If not, you won't be able to use the iPhone with another carrier's SIM card in another country.

  • I am a new iphone 4 user... I have insurance what does the Manufacturer Cover in damages or design flaws ?

    I recently was talked into upgrading to an iphone 4.....I Love Apple and all of their products and accessories!!! My son & I have become computer genius
    within 5 minutes, there is actually an app for everything....Except a design flaw or water/steam damage? I was hoping to resolve this unfortunate experience!!!
    I had my iphone 4 in the outlet in the hallway near my bathroom.. I love the 80's I Heart Radio App...Apparently, the phone has water damage and needs to be looked at or replaced. I have been to 3 AT & T Stores before I received excellent customer service by speaking to the store manager...I had a different design flaw with Moto Atrix was still within the Manufacture waranty. They said it was a desin flaw with the keyboard...not able to fix and would have to pay the deductable.. That is not good enough!!! I buy everything i this i that!!! I can't live without my iphone I have money with Starbucks and also linked to Shell Rewards
    and Speedway... Not to mention all my personal numbers, emails, facebook friends.....The phone was not dropped in water and was not in the same room as water but being 10 to 20 feet away something with the steam set off the water display for water damage??? I don't know why this is? When I first started on my quest with AT&T I thought I would have a grace period or design flaw? Please help!! I am unable to conduct daily day to day things without my iphone I was advised if they cracked my SIM card it's broken forever???

    If the little built-in water detector on the iphone shows positive, ie water damage, then Apple will not do anything for you under warranty. The best thing that they will offer you is a swap to an identical (new phone) at a price around £150 in UK or the equivalent in your own country.   If you are backing up to iCloud (or your computer), the new replacement unit will be able to load up all your old information etc. everything apart from synced data like music which you will need to re-upload.
    You could argue that the water damage sensor on the iPhone is too sensitive etc. but Apple don't respond too well to this although you will be in a better position (and will be listened to more sympathetically) if you have bought AppleCare for your iPhone.
    I know that this is annoying but I hope that you manage to get your problem resolved soon.

  • I am U.S. iPhone 4S user traveling in China.  Data speed is too slow to be usable.  Verizon says that it because iPhone 4S connects to strongest signal even if slowest.  Any work arounds for this design flaw?

    I am U.S. iPhone 4S owner traveling in China.  Data speed is too slow to be usable.  Verizon says that is because iPhone 4S connects to strongest signal, even if slowest (virtually non-existent) data network.  Does anyone know how to work around this design flaw?

    I spent 2 months in china with my old iphone 3gs.  Both China Unicomm and China Mobile were accessible through my US phone.  (for you other users, yes my phone bill was sky high, but it's a small price to pay when you get instant access to your wife while you are gone... and to be able to use the google translate app).  I had a GSM phone (obviously) and had the ability to choose what carrier I wanted my phone to connect to (the same thing was available when I was in italy as well). 
    it was under
    general-> network> then there was a new field (that does not normally show up when in the US) that listed the available networks to connect to.  my phone always attempted china unicomm first, and switched to china mobile only when unicomm was unavailible. 
    but if wjosten is correct (and i imagine he is), cdma phones may not be able to choose what network to connect to. 

  • I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes using a designated email address.  However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email account. How can I transfer my ipod to the same account as the iphone

    iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID.  So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account.  Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

  • Is the new Ipod Touch 5g compatible with all of the ios 6 features and is the new Ipod have the exact same design as the Iphone 5 for example square sides, instead of curving sides?

    Does the new Ipod have the same features as the Iphone 5 in terms of panorama, or like the new Isight camera? Like the same features/ design?

    it is compatible with most iOS 6 things, the main difference is just the fact that it doesn't have 3G or 4G, which limits how much it can use Siri or Maps.
    it does have panorama, and a 5 MP iSight camera. the design is different. it is a lot thinner, it has curved edges, and at no part of the side is it flat, same for the top and bottom. that is NOT the case for iPhone. also the iPod doesn't have a mic. on the front.
    hope this answered your question.
    just remember this for iOS 6: pretty much everything that doesn't always require internet the iPod can do. if it is something liketurn by turn direction, unless you have wi-fi in car, it wont work.
    if you need siri for anything outside of wifi, unless it's something on the hard drive itslef, i.e. setting up reminders, it wont work for thing such as facebook posts, looking for restaurants, etc.

  • Who needs apple to make the bezels for the macbook pro? Lets get together and tell apple they must! It is a design flaw.

    I love my pro. I paid 2700. for it 4 years ago. I did that because I know they are meant to last. I could have purchased a regular laptop but they don't last. Until recently I was ecstatic with it. Then one day I opened it up and my screen seemed really floppy. I didn't pay much attention. Then I noticed there were two cracks on the bezel toward the bottom of the screen. It is where the stress point lies from opening and closing. A very important location. I have read up on this, it is definitely a design flaw. I know the bezels are only work 10-15 dollars if produced. But because of the lack of availability of them they sell for 80 and up. I went to an Apple store with my friend. She purchased an IPAD 3 months ago, it fell out of her car, and the screen broke. Strangely enough, they replaced her IPAD when clearly it was customer fault, although she maintained it was a weak point. Me? The genius looked at mine and said I would need a new screen and it would be 700. Then another solution for 300. I asked why they couldn't just order a bezel. He said they don't make them. Apple does not make computer parts for their own computer? Unfortunately they gave me the rude runaround (Sherman Oaks,Ca manager Gabe Nava) and treated me like I was being unreasonable when I pointed out it was a design flaw with Apple!. Now i have a computer that could last a good 2-3 more years, but with this flaw the life will be shortened. Apple is this how u treat the customers that purchase you most expensive product versus the one that purchases the low/med price product? Let me know pro owners.....lets demand apple make these bezels. They should be replaced for free, but if it were available for 15. and then 50 labor...that I can live with. The best I could get outta Gabe was 150.00 and they keep my computer for a week! I live 120 miles away from the nearest store. I know your out there folks....lets make Apple make this right.

    There are online Mac reaper shops that will fix your bezel, it's nothing really.
