IPhone 5, phone app self activating?

My phone app recently keeps showing up in my 'active apps' even after I press, hold and hit 'x' is this a known issue? I'm worried its malicious as I hear issues from friends getting ludicrously high bills while using minimal calls/SMS/data.

Thank you for responding and yes, I mean the multi-tasking bar, I make I habbit of clearing it at the end of each day but in the last week the phone app keeps appearing in there, even after I remove it from multi-tasking bar and no, I have not received, nor made calls for some time. It has never done this for me in 4 years of iPhone use.
I hope that extra information helps.

My iphone 4 'phone app' suddenly won't work

My iphone 4 'phone app' suddenly won't work. It's not a microphone or other hardware problem because I can use viber normally. I have already upgraded to iOs 6.1.2 from a 5.1 (when the problem started), and even after the restore it still won't work.

This is asked and answered multiple times daily.
If you've tried a restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new as recommended in the User Guide and this fails to solve your problem, then you have a hardware failure and will need to bring your phone into Apple for replacement.

IPhone 4S - Phone App opens with a blank screen

iPhone 4S - Phone App opens into a blank screen and I have to reboot the phone in order to restart the app and be able to use the phone. The problem appears intermittently.
How can I fix this so that a reboot is not necessary?
Thanks!

Try a restore. If that does not work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

Iphone 4 Phone App White Screen/Battery Draining Fast

I have an iPhone 4 with the most recent version of the software. For the second time in about 5 weeks, my phone app has completely stopped working and only shows a white screen when entering. I can still receive calls however. The only way I could fix it before was a complete system restore, which was horrible. My battery drains really quickly and the iphone gets really hot. The system restore seemed to fix it for a few weeks last time. I tried hard resets, soft resets, and everything in between. A friend of mine had the same issue with his phone.
Any ideas?

I did some research. I deleted my exchange account from work and it appeared to have fixed the problem.

IPhone 5 Phone App Lag (iOS 8.0 - 8.1)

Hello Community,
I hope you are all well and having a nice day. Today i decided to share with you my problem - I need your opinion and help.
Problem
I noticed that after iOS 8.0 and even now that I'm running iOS 8.1 my phone app is lagy/slower responding. When someone is calling me and i answer, instead of actually answering the call instantly (like with iOS 7) now there are 2-3 seconds delay, the same is happening when i click a name from the phone app in the favorites section to call the contact.
More informatio
Device: iPhone 5
Softwear: iOS 8.1
Capacity: 16 GB
Troubleshooting steps I've already tried
Force restart device
Feel free to ask me any question.
All opinions or information are more than welcome.

SO, the constant reboots have stopped, but now have significant charging issues.
* % charge doesn't increase on multiple different charging cables
* hard reset doesn't solve

[iPhone SDK] Trial App with Activation Key?

Hi,
Is there a concept of 'Trial' in these iPhone Apps? Ideally I'd like Trial functionality for my app but then allow users to buy the Full app from AppStore.
How would I go about doing this? Or will I need to develop two apps, one trial and one full? Thanks

Seems like a no brainer, for sure. But you can't right now.
Best bet is to link to a QuickTime video. I've seen some people with a free/paid version as well in the Store.
I don't think Apple quite understands this business, but hopefully they will catch on.

IPhone phone app Answer call button

Are the green buttons used in iPhone's phone app custom buttons ?

Same occurred to me today. Running iPhone [email protected]
Sometime when you enter the phone application, one can occasionally scroll the call list but then all freezes. No buttons at the bottom seem to work at all.
A reset/new setup of the phone as suggested by Ingo2711 seems ridicules. Any other solution from Apple Support?

HT5616 Hey I've lost my iPhone and someone has taken off my Apple ID so my find my I phone app is not on can you help please

Hey y'all we'll I've got my iPhone stolen and I can't track it someone has taken my Apple ID off the iPhone so my find my iPhone app cannot locate the phone I don't know we're the box is for the ime code please help I don't know what I wana knw if you track my phone please

Sorry, no.
The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords, especially your Apple ID/iCloud password NOW!
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be re-activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

HT4995 i lost my iphone 4 last night and its not reachable assuming someone took out the sim.. so can i or my network company track the iphone which is not reachable through assuming location services and find my phone apps are enabled?

No. Find My Phone is the only way to locate any lost iPhone. However, this requires that Find My Phone be turned on/activated before the phone was lost, and the phone must have an Internet connection. If your phone is turned off, does not have an Internet connection, or has been restored, there is no way to locate it.

Can I sync my 'PC Free' activated iPhone with downloaded apps to iTunes for the first time without loosing data?

I have an iPhone 4 that has been activated over the air, "PC Free" and have used it for a month without ever connecting it to a computer. I have downloaded several apps, taken a few pictures, and even downloaded a few songs. Now I want to connect to my computer and sync and backup. Will I loose all my data?

Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

On iPhone 5s, since updating to 8.02, when accessing the phone's voicemail greeting section, the greeting, voicemail and dial pad freezes up. Requires restart of device to regain access to phone app. Greeting section can not be accessed.

Hello -
I've never had any issues at all with my iPhone 5s. After I ran the IOS 8.02 update, everything seemed fine. Yesterday afternoon (about 8 hours after the update), I went to update my voicemail greeting. So I can open the phone app just fine, use the phone with calls, listen to voicemails, etc., but as soon as I tap the GREETING within the voicemail section, everything in the phone app freezes up. Shutting down and restarting the app does not help. I have to restart the entire iPhone to regain access to the phone app. Interestingly, I can receive a call during this 'freeze' by tapping the ANSWER button during the incoming call. Just can not make outgoing calls, listen to voicemails, etc.
During this freeze, a message occasionally appears stating that the greeting server can not be reached.
Beyond that, no ideas.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.

I am having this issue too. Have you happened to find a solution?
I can transfer them via airdrop to the computer, but that takes a heck of a long time.

When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

If you didn't set up Find My iPhone in the iCloud settings, then you can't. Notify the police and change the password to your Apple ID and any other online services you used from that iPhone, just as a precaution.
Regards.
