Iphone in its own world

Hi
Recently during standard voice calls whilst the iphone4 is by my ear, in the middle of a call, it decides to drop my call and ring someone else, all whilst the phone is by my ear!!!
I assume this is something to do with the sensor, but what do you suggest? Is there any fix available?
Thanks

Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and, if the problem goes away, then synching your apps. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, that should cure it.
If none of that helps, your device may have developed a hardware fault and will need to be take or sent to Apple.
Regards.

IPhone filling its own memory?!

Hello,
My iPhone 4S appears to be filling its own memory. I am almost constantly getting the "Storage Almost Full" message, and every time I re-sync to my MacBook and delete stuff to free up memory, but somehow it always gets full again with 0 bytes available.
Less than an hour ago I updated to the latest iOS and deleted 3GB worth of apps and photos. I have not even used my iPhone since then, yet 5 minutes ago I got the "Storage Almost Full" message again. I promptly went into settings to check the usage (I've occassionally gotten the message when my iPhone has been a bit confused), but sure enough I have 0 bytes available!
What gives???? I'm ready to throw this thing across the room!
Thank you!

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup...
But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

IPhone doing its own thing!

I had to send away my IPhone 4 and get a replacement but the one I have is going crazy! It won't open up apps it won't close them, it won't turn off after a call, it keeps pressing numbers on its own and even opening apps by it self. Any ideas? Why it's doing it? How I can fix it? Thanks

looks like hardware problem ! Take it back

Link work iPhone with its own Apple ID to personal iTunes match.

I recently received an iPhone 5c from work. The phone has its own Apple ID. How do I link my personal iTunes match with the work phone?

HI
You cannot link your work Apple ID with your own Apple id. Match can only be used with the Apple ID that you used to subscribe to match.

ITunes off in its own world

Our iTunes plays about 18 hours a day, every day, but what I saw and heard it doing the other day was interesting. It was playing an apparently never ending series of 3 - 4 second tracks that don't exist in my Library and each track was a single note with different instruments. I didn't hear it repeating itself either. The track names looked like random arrangements of about 15 alpha and numeric characters. Only the last 4 digits seemed to change.
I do have a lot of unusual music in the Library so I was not aware of anything odd for a few minutes. I began to realise that what I was listening to was even more weird than my 'off the wall' taste so I went to have a look at the screen and found what is described above. I only regret that I didn't record what it was doing because it was pretty good.
Anyone had the same 'problem'?

You can use this software to add it to the menu bar:

Does iphone have it own email address?

does the iphone have its own email address, my old razor was @mms.att.net

Technically it does. However, since the iPhone can not get MMS messages sending a pic to the MMS email address would just direct you to viewmymessage.com
I figured it most likely did, but for reasons you stated it seems irrelevant.

Why hasn't apple created its own USB or USB adapter for their products.? Since an iPhone or iPad make traveling and doing school work or on the job work, why not create a USB to make transferring information easier too.?

In some folks' version of the world, you have plenty of ways. YOu have the aforementioned services, you have iCloud, all you need is an internet connection and you're good to go. And that works perfectly...if you always have the internet.
If you want more non-internet dependant ways, then the best way to let Apple know is to send them feedback. They don't monitor or respond to this forum (Beyond removing rule breaking posts) but they do at least log feedback. However, the lack of a file manager will always be an obstacle. There are some apps out there that have at least a pseudo file manager - as in the ability to move documents into multiple other apps. I have Readdle Docs which I can use to download and move things around with, but again, back to the internet or wireless.

After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - whihc has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5.

After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - which has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5. Has been working fine up until update. Is there a fix for this? The car does not have usb

Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
This listed below will fix it...
Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
You're very welcome! Have a great day!

My iphone 5s has a mind of its own. why?

my iphone 5s is out of control. everytime i use to it send messages or anything it just starts typing on its own, opening apps, one second im on imessage then suddenly im in the music app. and like today i wanted to send a message while in class. and the phone started going crazy again and it opened the music app and played music, it was embrassing.
i cant use it without it losing control everytime, sending messages that arent even finished. this happened a week after purchasing the phone. and its been going on for 3 days now non-stop, i restored, hard reset, started from scratch. nothing seems to help.
there are two other things ive noticed in my phone :
1. first there are four vertical lines on the right side of my phone, 2 blue and 2 red (blue, red, blue, red). they arent easily noticble unless you have a black backround. they were there from the first day i got the phone. it didnt bother me much really because its not so showy.
2. second when my phones goes crazy typing things and opening apps and all that. its mostly from the right side. the same area where those line are.
i hope this can tell me whats the problem...

If a cold reset of the iPhone does not sort out both the control and screen issues, the iPhone is up for return in the nearest Apple Store. Apple should replace the device for you free of charge.

IPhone deletes MobileMe email on its own

I first noticed the problem last week. I open up Mail on my iPhone, it checks Mobile Me for new messages, they start to download and I saw a number of emails fleetingly appear before my eyes and immediately thereafter vanish without a trace. Today it had to be the most important email I was waiting for didn't it? And it was. I saw it briefly, again for all of a second, and then it was gone forever.
No trace of the emails to be found in Trash or Junk. Gone.
I found another, closed thread relating to Yahoo Mail and people who encountered this error. But this was Apple's Mobile Me service. I've even checked my mail via me.com, no luck. It's like the message never existed but I know it did.
Ideas? Help? And why did it bypass the trash for goodness' sake? If it had dumped it there because of some bug I could have rescued it. But to wipe it totally? Man, that's one nasty bug.

No. I was accessing my me.com email nowhere else at the times this happened, as it has happened again since my original post above. I have switched off email on my iPhone until this is resolved, I can't afford to have emails going like that.
And bear in mind, whether you access elsewhere or not is somewhat irrelevant when talking about MobileMe accounts as they are supposed to keep in sync, meaning if I download an email to my MB Pro it will appear in my inbox on iPhone or iMac as well. Unless of course you move or delete the email, which I didn't.
Before switching off email on my iPhone as an emergency response I tried changing the settings to confirm deletions before going ahead. That was completely ignored by the iPhone, which went ahead and deleted another email all on its own thereafter.
I have never had the problems with emails other have had before now. Could an installed third-party app impact on the Mail app in any way at all? I have installed a few apps along the way but was thinking, could something installed in the past fortnight, say, be a cause?

IPhone 4 shuts down on its own all the time. Sometimes restarts without ability to make calls, receive emails, and the wrong time. Only a restore fixes it. What can I try?

So my iPhone had a broken screen and back for a while, which may have something to do with this. I mean like missing peices. I realize this leads to corrosion and I may have a broken iPhone but this is a really strange problem. It's always shutting off on its own, sometimes in my pocket while locked and sometimes randomly while in use. For example the other day this started happening everytime I started safari. This happens all the time, I usually just restart it and it works for a while. Sometimes after shutting off a few times in a row, after restarting it will show the wrong time, screws up phone calls and says that it cannot locate the gmail server, or something to that extent (won't load emails). The phone calls are weird, I can't receive any. Any calls that are made from the phone, go through on the other side and ring for them, but won't ring or make a connection on my side, also I can't end the call when this happens, it responds to me pressing end by fading the screen to that graytone color that it does before ending usually but stays on that screen whenever you go back to it, only disappearing after reseting. Texts work, not in iMessage, and internet seems to work. The only thing that fixes this condition is a restore. The iphone has been turning itself off over the last 3 months and its been getting progressively worse. Recently its been pretty bad, and then the phone started to do all that weird stuff I've been talking about. That started about 3 weeks ago and has happened 4 times, the last two times relatively close together. This is really annoying and I can't afford to replace it. Do I have to live with it? What can I try? Should I maybe replace the battery? I took the panel off to look at it and the plastic around it was pitted possibly from being really hot.

Please don't respond with useless comments. I've already addressed the fact that my screen was broken a few months ago. My phone may or may not be broken beyond repair either way, as I said before I can't afford a new phone. It's a strange problem because from what I can tell no one else has posted the same problem anywhere I can find. Don't be a dickhole.

My iPhone 4S Decides to Roam on its Own

My job requires that I cross the border between Kuwait & Saudi Arabia 5 days a week.
My SIM is from a carrier in Kuwait named Zain.
I have went into Settings -> Carrier, and switched "Automatic" off and selected Zain as my network.
This works fine until a couple of days ago.
I crossed the border as usual going to work and the signal was lost as expected and now I see "No Service" on the top left corner of my screen.
Around 1:30pm of that same day, while I was working on my iPhone while connected to a Wi-Fi network at work, I noticed that the phone was actually connected to a carrier in Saudi Arabia.
I double checked the carrier settings again just to be sure if the setting is bugged or for some odd reason, "Automatic" was set to on.
To my surprise, it was still off!
Why is my iPhone 4S roaming on its own? I can easily prevent such roaming charges.
I need my iPhone to be on and connected to Wi-Fi but I don't need its voice services while I'm across the border.
Anyone else facing this? Share your thoughts please.
Thanks.

Thanks Noel but I tend to disagree.
You see, I previously owned an iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 4. All worked perfectly. Upon switching off automatic selection of a carrier and only selecting my home network, those 2 phones stayed with No Service until they sniff a signal from my home network provider.
That's not the case with iPhone 4S.
My iPhone 4S today for example went out of service at about 7:45am after I crossed the border.
at about 1:30pm, it decided on its own to connect to a roaming network. It shouldn't. Because I'm selecting my carrier manually. So worst case scenario, it should at least prompt for availability of other carriers without connecting to them.
Last but not least, roaming charges in my case will be charged against my number once I receive or make a phone call or SMS. I'd like to avoid that. I did tests that clearly showed saving over $100 a month of roaming charges when I do so. Yes, our carrier is a vampire

How can I stop my iPhone 5 from starting the music player randomly on its own?

I have an iPhone 5 running the latest version of iOS. Sometime last year (maybe shortly after I originally upgraded to iOS 7), the phone developed a nasty habit of starting up the music player during phone conversations when I connected to my Mazda's Bluetooth system. Oddly enough, I can hear the music playing over the phone conversation but the person on the other end of the phone line can't. To stop the music, I have to open the Music App and then close the App. Note that the Music App did NOT have to be previously open for the music to start, and the Music App doesn't usually show as an open App even after the music starts on its own. The problem has persisted through the last few iOS updates and it now happens in a broader range of circumstances (e.g., I have told the iPhone to forget the Mazda adapter, and it now does the same thing with my Plantronics Voyager Bluetooth headset). I usually have to go through this sequence at least twice per Bluetooth pairing session before the phone stops trying to start the music player on its own during phone calls.
The problem went away temporarily when I did a full reset of the phone, but it came back after a few days (even when I added apps & music back without restoring from an iOS backup).
Has anyone found a way to fix this problem once and for all? If I can find a fix, it's enough of an annoyance that it might convince me to go Android with my next phone. Thanks in advance...

I've tried syncing with itunes and icloud. The missing contacts are nowhere to be found. I just re-enter them on my iphone and proceed on my not so merry way. Next time I look for a contact, it might be there or it might not. It is not necessarily the same contact. It appears that my oldest contacts seem to be the ones disappearing

How can I prevent my iPhone from making calls on its own?

I often put my iPhone in my pocket. Sometimes I then discover that it is making calls on its own.
How can I prevent this?
Thanks.

Turn on auto lock. I have never had my iPhone once do anything without me doing it.

Iphone 5, running 6.1.3, acts on its own when left alone

I am using an Iphone 5, running IOS 6.1.3.
I have noticed in the past and just now that sometimes the Iphone acts on its own will.
This time, after leaving the phone charge from zero for an hour or so, I have noticed the following:
When woke up, the screen will unresponsive to touch, I slide my finger across the screen and it will not open any messages or calendar appointments
Once running, if I leave the phone rest on the table (without me holding it or anything), the phone starts opening apps, typing a leter here and there on text messages, moves apps around the screen...
My questions are:
Is this something someone has registered before?
Is this a hardware or software issue?
Can an Iphone 5 be controlled remotely by someone else?
Thanks
EB

That's probably a hardware problem.
