Iphone 4s (verizon): updated to 6.1 now phone doesn't work
Since updating to 6.1, iphone 4s is not getting incoming calls (not showing up as missed calls, just goes to voicemail). Outgoing calls also don't work (just says "calling" but never connects). Facetime works (surprisingly). I've tried to restart the phone and that still did nothing.
Have you tried a backup/restore? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

Iphone 4s 32gb.loaded ios 8.1 now phone doesn`t work
Hi everyone.
I`m new to this and could do with some advise.
I`ve got a iPhone 4s 32gb. I`ve had it for 2 years and it`s always worked perfect.
I recently loaded ios 8.01 on to it and not long after it lost Wi-Fi. And it would only work on Wi-Fi if the battery was above 60%.
It`s also became slow and sometime freezed, but if I rebooted it it would work for a while.
Now I just loaded ios 8.1 and now it won`t work at all, Can`t make any call , No internet, No Wi-Fi, freezing all the time and will not switch off.
Is there any way of reloading ios7 because it worked perfect before I loaded ios 8 in it.
I hope some one can help mas i`m stuck without a phone.
many thanks for your time.I found that I was unable to update to iOS8.1 - essentially it seemed that I didn't have enough memory on the phone, but in trying to download the update it filled all the available memeory (d'uh Apple ... why not check before downloading??? ). Thus, when I tried updating via iTunes, iTunes wouldn't update the phone either because there was not enough memory. Eventually the phone was nearly bricked - it would not start without being connected to iTunes and I had to restore it. That took 6 attempts because the download from Apple seem to cut out. Finally on the last attempt the phone was updated, then I did a restore from a backup in iTunes. The only residual problem is that phone won't back up now into iTunes because it disconnects.
Deeply unimpressed with Apple's updating process now. It's reminiscent of Windows updates in the bad old days.
FWIW the 4S does sputter a little under iOS 8, but it is fine mostly. -

Applied OTA update and now phone doesn't work!
I applied the OTA update offered this morning to my Droid RAZR MAXX. After the phone rebooted, the screen was blank.
When I reboot now, I see the Motorola log and then nothing. I can hear the boot sound, but I can't see anything.
I tried to reset the phone. When I select the recovery option, the phone reboots and then shows the little android guy on his back with an exclamation point over him. I continue on the the next menu and choose the factory reset/wipe data option. After it successfully completes, I reboot.
All of this and I still don't have a working phone.
I took my phone to the local Verizion store and all they could tell me to do was contact Assurion and make an insurance claim. I have a real problem with this considering it was Verizion's update that caused my phone to quit working.
Anyone have any ideas?Are you attempting the reset through the phone settings or the manual hard reset?
Through the menu it is settings-privacy-factory data reset-reset phone-erase everything.
If you are unable to reach the main menu to go into settings you will need to perform the manual hard reset.
1. Power the phone off.
2. Press and hold the volume up/down key and then press and hold the power button.
3.When you see the boot menu release all buttons that you are holding.
4.Press the volume down key to choose recovery then press the volume up key.
5. From the droid triage screen press and hold the volume down key, then press and release the volume up key, then release the volume down key.
6.Choose wipe data/factory reset and then press the power button.
7.Choose yes to delete all user data and then press power button.
8.Choose reboot system now and then press the power button.
If this does not work/already what you have done then it is going to be a device issue that will need to be fixed by either a) calling motorola and seeing if they have a fix for it or b) going into a VZW store and having them update the software/flash the device if they agree to do that.
If nothing else works, defective device hopefully it's under warranty.
Good luck. -
I updated to os5 and now sound doesn't work
Hello... I updated my iPad to os5 and now only some of my apps sound programs work. Some have no sound and I cannot figure out why. Thoughts?
First check the side switch on the side of the iPad above the volume control. Try flipping the switch the other way. If you see the speaker icon when you flip that switch it was set to mute system sounds.
If that switch locked the screen, then do this. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. Swipe all the way to the right in the task bar. Look all the way on the left side and see if there is a speaker icon there. If so, tap it and see if the system sounds come on again.
You can set the side switch to either mute system sounds or to lock the screen. Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Lock Rotation or Mute. Whichever function you choose for the side switch, the other function will be available in the task bar.
Read this about the side switch.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
Also go to Settings >General >Sounds > and make sure that you have all the sounds turned on and that the volume slider bar is adjusted to at least the halfway point
Finally - make sure that that the volume is turned up on the volume control on the right side of the iPad (when held in portrait mode). I know that seems obvious but you never know! -
Updated Zen Extra Firmware Now It Doesn't Work The S
I recently updated to the latest PlayForSure firmware on my 30 GB Zen Extra so that it would work with Vista. I mainly use it to listen to audio books. It used to be that when I would start the player it would remember where I was in the track I was listening to and it would start from there. Now it starts at the beginning of the track. These tracks can be several hours long and it's a PITA to have to scroll through and find the point I was at in the book. Am I setting something incorrectly, or is this something that Creative needs to address?
Theres a few other changes with the plays for sure firmware..
previously if you slected a track from the music library and hit 'play now' while there were some trascks playing form the slected music list, the slected music list would clear, and the play now track would start playing.
Now when you slect play now it drops the track at the bottom of the selected music list and keeps al the other tracks as they are.
Idle shutdown/sleep
previously the Zen would go into a hibernation mode, and after 24 hours it would completly shutdown.
If you switched it on within 24 hours of it last being used it would start instantly and you would only see the creative/EAX ( or custom ) start screen after 24 hours of non use.
now theres no hibernation mode and the player takes longer to start, however long term battery life should be better like this.
any other changes? -
Did An Update Just Occur And Now Email Doesn't Work
ok i once again am having troubles connecting to my email with the same settings that were working just fine with the Z10. i usually wait until it decides to fix itself but hours later its still jacked up. i then noticed that the blank home screen that used to be present when there weren't even any running apps is only present when there are running apps.
well good thing that was taken care of.
now ever since whatever update occurred, my email is not working at all.
z10 just keeps saying unable to contact server blah at blah blah port.
i know good and well that that my mail server is functional as i can access it via other devices just fine.
ok so how do i fix my email?i was on the phone for about and hour and a half with both ATT and Blackberry.
it was not until i got transferred Level II Blackberry Support is when it got resolved. come to find out that i needed to let the email settings configure automatically instead of typing in any settings myself.
z10 and the server figure out what your settings need to be. i was just used to typing them in myself from previous Blackberry experience. but they told me a lot has changed with o/s 10 and to forget everything i was used to.
also, there is an email issue(s) that they are well aware of and a fix is coming out shortly but he couldn't give me an exact date. -
HELP. I updated my ipod and now it doesn't work
I updated my ipod recently, and the next day when I tried to turn it on the ipod froze on a picture of do not disconnect (similiar to the picture when the ipod is connected to a computer, but it was in black and white and "flat" looking)
I plugged it back in and charged the ipod fully. It seemed like it should be working until i tried turning it on again. This time it froze on tge start image of just the apple and then finally faded out strangely and went blank. I'm leaving for a trip tomorrow and sorta need my musicTry:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Updated my iPhone 4s to 6.0.1 and iTunes on my mac to 7.0 now itunes doesn't work
Updated my iPhone 4s to 6.0.1 and iTunes on my iMac to 7.0 now iTunes doesn't work. My iMac and iPhone will not sync. It just says waiting to start sync, step 1 of 6 for hours.
Any ideas?Do not take it to a third party repair shop - downgrading causes problems and voids your warranty.
I had to unlock it so that i could really use it as a phone.
And that is the root of the problem. Unless you had your carrier unlock it, it was hacked and cannot be legitimately activated. Even if you don't care about warranty or problems, downgrading simply will not help an activation issue. -

i have an iphone 4 just updated my iTunes and now i'm having troubles to sync my iPhone with iTunes... can anyone help me plz?
You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

HT4972 *** my iPhone 4 just updated to ios6 and now I can't message photos or install apps?
*** my iPhone 4 just updated to ios6 and now I can't message photos or install apps?
First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

i got problem updating my iphone 3g. my phone doesn't work now. it says no service and can not be activated.beside that it says insert sim even it has sim. please help me.
I have just created this account to tell you that nothing would change if you restored your phone.
The first NO SIM nuisance happened just a week ago. Nothing had been done to the phone before that. I pressed HOME + POWER buttons to restart the phone and SIM card was successfully recognized as if nothing had happened. Then I had a lucky week, not reminded of this issue at all.
Today, however, the same problem keeps annoying me. I've used the same method to heal the phone but all I have done seems more like a placebo. So I tried the ultimate solution, restroing it in iTunes.
Ridicuously, the moment I finished basic setup on the newly restored phone, the same NO SIM CARD INSTALLED message poped up.
So IMO, it's not what you should do to erase and restore your phone.
Plus, I called my native carrier and they said no such problems have been submitted. And since my nano SIM card is quite new (three months old), I'm not going to replace it.
I googled this problem and found something on a Hong Kong webpage. The author of that thread points out that there is a flaw in the SIM card tray that prevents the phone from successfully recognizing SIM cards.
And I really hope Apple could probe into this issue and give official solutions other than restarting / restoring the phone like an idiot. -

This is the only possibility that came to my mind when reading about your issue:
