IPhone 4s on AT&T - Viewing Mail While On a Call

I don't know if this is an Apple issue or an AT&T issue, but I just upgraded to an iPhone 4s the other day and I had a problem viewing mail while using the phone.
I was on a call, and went to the Mail app to check an archived mail message.  When I navigated to the folder in my mail account, it was empty, so I hit the refresh button.  But instead of retrieving mail messages from my mail account, I got an error that said it couldn't use the data connection while I was on the phone.
I've done this before with older iPhones on AT&T, so I am confused.
I opened Safari while on the call, and I was able to browse the web, but when I went back to mail, I still couldn't pull new mail from the server.
Has anyone else had this problem yet?
Any ideas?
Mike

My wife is having the same issue, *exactly* as you describe it, with her iPhone 4s on AT&T. It's ridiculous, and so far AT&T tech support is totally unhelpful.

  • How to stop hanging up or calling other numbers while in a call.

    My wife has the Droid 2 and she has been having continuous problems with the phone hanging up on her calls or dialing her voice mail while in a call.  I have had several calls hang up on me as well.  I have checked how she holds the phone to make sure the proximity sensor is working and everything appears fine.  She has even tried pressing the power/lock button as soon as she enters a call with no improvement.  Has anyone else seen this problem and what can be done to fix it?

    When speaking on the droid devices once the phone is placed to your ear the screen should go black and once you pull the phone away from your face it should light back up giving options to either make a call or hang up or other options.  If  you are still able to call while the phone is in use and the device is up to your face, try to do a battery pull by removing the battery while phone is powered on and let the battery stay out for about 10 to 15 seconds then replace the battery and see if there is still an issue with the device calling other people while the phone is in use. The next option if you are still having the issue to do a factory reset but make sure the SD card is removed before performing the factory reset here is the link for instructions on the factory reset http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=31308&p=null

  • How can i view mail mailbox folders on my iphone

    I have created folders or mailboxes on my iMac.  When I move mail to one of these folders I would still like to be able to access it from my iphone but can't seem to do that.  From my iphone, I can only view mail in "inbox", "sent", etc. but not folders/mailboxes I created to help me organize my mail.
    Thanks,
    bj

    Thanks for looking.  My mail account is a Gmail Google IMAP account.  It is the only account I have and is working well with Apple Mail.  But I created some folders/mailboxes in Apple Mail to organize my mail with, and on the iMac this all works fine.  But when I check my Mail on my iPhone, I can not check the emails that I moved to the various folders I created on the iMac.   ???  I'm starting to think there is something simple I'm missing here but not sure.  Thanks

  • HT4436 Can there be more than on iCloud account on a computer?  I have an iCloud account with my iPhone and would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac.  I do not have a mac but an older PC

    Can there be more than one icloud account on a computer?  I have an icloud account with my iphone but would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac.  I do not have a mac but an older PC. thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
    Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

  • Lost the Ability to get Exchange E-Mail while on WiFi at home only

    After 2 months of use, my iPhone 5S started doing something very odd last week and still does today. This is all about using my exchange email at home on my (BT) Wi-Fi
    No email on my Exchange email with errors of can’t connect to server and no email.
    But I can still receive my normal BT personal email.
    After a bit of trouble shooting and deleting my exchange account twice already,
    I found the following:
    I can receive BT email while at home ( BT) WiFi
    I can surf the Web while on WiFi at home
    I can send and receive when I turn Wi-Fi off when I am at home ( but it’s slower of course)
    I can perform any action except receive my Exchange e-mail while on WiFi at home.
    I can also get my Exchange email perfectly well when I go to the REGUS offices and use their WiFi.
    I can NOT send or receive exchange email while on Wi-Fi at home but I can if I turn off WiFi (so I know it isn't a password issue or exchange).  My home Wi-Fi is the top grade and very fast.
    NOTHING has changed on my WiFi.  NOTHING has changed on either device. I have the latest iOD update which
    I have rebooted my WiFi to no avail.
    I think I have hit everything.....
    I have called Apple twice ( 70 mins)  and they blamed BT
    I called BT ( 50 mins) and they blamed my exchange host 1and1
    I called 1and1 ( 35 mins ) and they said that it works everywhere else and my settings are fine and it must be an APPLE issue. Can someone please help me as I never had these issues with my great Blackberry for 15 years?
    I will also mail this to BT and 1and1.
    Thanks
    Steve
    PS. I did log into THE CLOUD last week though and did a back up on my PC, that's all.

    Thanks for the advice.
    My settings are as above and my domain is blank as it is optional
    The server is forwarded as an existing email with 1and1 hence has a different server setting
    [email protected]
    As it happens my email suddenly started to work again on my home wifi
    Very strange but no doubt it will stop again. The only thing I did was log my iPhone back onto Cloud on my PC.
    Maybe that did something?
    Thanks

  • How to view an app, while on a call?

  • I am planning to buy iphone 5 but confused on its mail management. Where can i get more information on it? I am currently a blackberry user.

    I am not sure how iphone would handle the mail traffic. I understand that once you open the outlook, all mails goes out of your hand phone. My worry is then how to refer the past mails while not in front of the machine and outlook? I am currently using Blackberry which is excellent on mail management and hence this worry before I make a switch.

    Read the User's Guide.
    If you actually set up the email account instead of simply syncing via Outlook on the computer then your concerns listed above are irrelevant.

    Also
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

    I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine.  I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.   I just get barely audible static.  Any suggestions?   Thanks.

    Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
    Thanks!

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

  • I had over 200 e-mails.  I went to my webmail and deleted most of them.  However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails.  How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server?  Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well?  Thanks.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    If it has the same (bad) behavior on two different systems then there is a very good chance that the  drive is toast.
    BTW you'll get better response to your questions if the question actually reflects the problem you are having. In this case it would have been better to say you couldn't access the drive rather then that it doesn't show on the desktop.
