IPhone playing up

The last advice I got on here was to do a clean install of iOS 4.2 but it has made no difference, battery life is poor, worse than my 2 year old 3g, music will randomly skip and yesterday just to finally annoy me I was listening to an audio book through the iPod application, I was about 2 hrs in and it just closed, and of course once I opened it again it rather than saving where I was at it just started from the beginning.
I did not have these issues with 4.1
Anyone any advice or are you experiencing similar issues with 4.2?

Hi,
When you did the Clean Install of IOS 4 2 did you Restore as New... or Restore from Backup...?
I found that, to fix the problems I was having, I eventually had to Restore as New...
Apparently there was something in my Backup that was corrupt...
Since then, almost a month ago now, my iPhone has been performing Brilliantly...
Cheers

    Hello,
    If you're in a country where there's an apple shop (unfortunately not mine), go check it and ask the employee about it: he's gonna check your Iphone on a "device"
    I've got an iphone 5 and it's working very well with me but I have to admit that its battery lasts (slower) than my Ipad 2.
    Still i can help with some tips that may improve your iohone's battery by an hour in addition (hopefully):
    - close all apps by multitasking....
    - do NOT keep the brightness to the max
    Believe me you're gonna regret changing your phone to a samsung
    Hope i've helped and sorry for my bad english (has english as 3rd language)

  • Why won't the songs I purchased and Downloaded to my iPhone play?

    I purchased an albumen from iTunes, downloaded to iPhone, played great. Few weeks later I purchased some more, downloaded to iPhone. only some of the songs on albums play and the 1st albumen does not play at all. I downloaded them all again with same results. I am a novice.

    If you are playing the Movie in the Videos app and it is not play.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
    Then reboot your iPad. 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 iPad restart.

  • Does the iPhone play animated GIFs?

    Hi,
    Does the iPhone play animated GIFs? Sorry for asking such a basic question but I can't seem to find the answer on the web or within this forum.
    Also how do you implement it into your code? Do you need to use a UIWebView or can you just declare it like a regular png or jpg (e.g. UIImage *image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"photo.gif"])
    Thanks for any help.

    you can play gif in webView ,just the same way you load a jpeg or png..
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"santa" ofType:@"gif"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
    /* Load the request. */
    [myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
    the gif that is locally saved will be loaded.

  • My iphone plays sound but will not play ringtones and alerts

    My iphone plays sound but not ringtones or alerts. It will not even 'click', but the speaker phone and both internal and external audio work fine. How do i fix this?

    On my iphone 5, there is a mute button/ lever on the left hand side of the phone that you might want to check. ("Left" when phone is oriented such that you are looking at the screen, such that the power button is "up" on the right hand side and the menu/ Siri button is facing front). 
    The mute button/ lever is the first button on the upper left hand side of the phone; you may need to move your phone's protector to see & access it.  You'll know the mute button has been activated when a red line is visible. It becomes visible when the mute button/lever is pushed down, (towards the back of the phone).  Flip the button/ level forward, so that it is pointing towards the top of your screen, and your ringers and alerts will once again ring.
    I discovered that when this button/ lever was activated and my ringers & alerts were muted, my alarm clock ringer was still audible, which I think is a pretty nifty fail-safe on this feature.  You can see the original Q&A suggestion by clicking link below.

  • IPhone playing weird church sound randomly

    Hey.
    I've noticed that my iPhone plays a weird church bell like sound just randomly maybe 2-4 times a day.
    It's almost like a clock that would hit say 6 o'clock and play sound, you know what I mean?
    But it's weird because it plays it just randomly, even if the clock was 5:34 or something, I've checked all programs and none of them have any notifications when this occurs.
    Any ideas?

    Check all of your apps, there are apps in the app store that can cause this.
    This is one:

    This is another that has been reported to cause this:

  • Why wont my iphone play all my music

    Why wont my Iphone play all of the music i have saved on it from itunes

    If you are using files that play on your iPhone when synced with iTunes these files should play via your website. The iPhone can play these formats.
    H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file format
    The most certain way of producing files in the correct format is to use either iMovie08 or Quicktime Pro and export in iPhone format.

  • My iphone plays pandora and youtube music but it will not play my itunes music whenever i try to hit play the button flips over to pause as normal but the music dosent work?

    my iphone plays pandora and youtube music but it will not play my itunes music whenever i try to hit play the button flips over to pause as normal but the music dosent work?

    I can understand this with videos you are streaming, i.e. maybe you have a slow data connection.
    Videos on your phone should not do this.  Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Why does my iPhone plays louder music in one side of the earphone than the other?

    Hello Apple Community,
    So I own this iPhone 4S which is about half a year old, and from this Monday onwards I kept feeling that my iPhone plays music louder in one side of the earphone than the other. I don't think it's my earphones because I just got them two weeks ago, and I always took good care of it. What can I do to solve this frustrating problem?
    Thanks!
    P.S. My earphones are the Klipsch x10. Costs about 300 bucks.

    The only setting on an iPhone that controls balance is here: Settings>General>Accessibility>Hearing.

  • IPhone plays only one song at a time

    After 2 weeks of the iPod feature of my iPhone working just perfectly, last night I discovered it will no longer go through a play list. No matter what I do, it plays only one song, repeatedly - either a song I choose or a song selected randomly by hitting Shuffle. Shuffle only chooses the first song randomly, after which that song plays over and over unless I manually choose another. I deleted my playlists this morning, rebooted iTunes, re-synced my playlists to the iPhone, same problem. Other than having to go through an entire Restore, are there any other options? This actually occurred out of the blue, NOT after a re-sync with the computer, therefore NOT caused by the iTunes update to 7.3.1.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    THANK YOU!!! I never would have found that myself because I don't even look at albums let alone play whole albums. My playlists are favorite songs from here and there and rarely more than one or two from any particular album. I don't know how that got changed since I have never looked at an album before, didn't know there were time and shuffle markers. I must have gone bump in the dark... so thank you again!

  • Iphone plays music out the speakers when headset/aux cable unplug

    Either when I'm listening to music in iphone from aux in the car, then I stop the music and unplug the phone... music starts playing from the speakers. This happens, even after I had not used the phone at all (no music, or calling). Usually just unplugging the headsets just starts playing music all of the sudden out the speakers!!! (this happens to both Apple headset, generic stereo headsets, and aux cable). I didn't even had the ipod player "ON".
    Yes, this happen to me while I had a client in the car with me!!!! Do you know what is like to have a Japanese old men, all of the sudden get surprised by 50 CENT!!!
    This is not cool APPLE!!! I busted my butt to get the iphone 3g (needed wife's permission and money)... so I'm really paying extra money for a broken iPod Touch! Really, my ipod touch doesn't even do this!
    So please if anybody can help, or if you know any solutions for this. I really could use this, because I often unplug my phone with guest in the car. (I have it plugged in always while driving, safety first!)

    I don`t know if it`s because an update, but its working pretty well now.

  • IPhone play count problem

    Hi guys,
    This is my first post - my first real problem since switching to Mac a few years ago - but I seem to have a problem with the play counts on my iPhone 3GS. With my iPods the play counts updated as usual and stayed the same and increased correctly as I listened to music.
    When I got my first iPhone - the 3G a few years ago - I noticed the play counts on the phone wouldn't stay the same or update correctly from sync to sync.
    I'm using a MacBook Pro running the latest version of iTunes and I manually manage my music so I don't have to sync every single song - and maybe that's the problem because when I sync my iPhone the plays on my iPhone seem to increase drastically while the plays in my iTunes library stay the same. Like, my most listened to song has 1020 plays and I know that that's not right because I ain't been listening to that song 1000+ times.
    I was hoping someone could tell me how the play counts works on the iPhone. Is there a way for the play counts on the iPod component of the iPhone to work like a normal iPod? Should the play counts be the same on the iPhone and iTunes library? I know it may be trivial but I'd like to keep track of how many times I listen to songs.
    Thanks for any help provided,
    Matt.

    I don't know if this is how it'd work, but if one syncs with WMP, it makes it so the files in your WMP library are like those on your player. So if you have a certain rating for a song, that rating will show up in WMP, and perhaps if you played the song a few times on WMP, that play count might transfer over to the player. Just a theory, but who knows. Probably just a bug.

  • IPhone plays one video & quits... why?

    Hi folks, perhaps, you can help me. I have over 50 music videos i my iPhone that I bought from the iTunes. One of my two problems is: the iPhone would only play one music video at a time, and then goes back to the menu of videos. Plz, how can I make it play all the different videos continuously, one after the other, on its own as it does when just playing the music cd playlist. When it stops at the end of each video, I have to go back & click on the next video on my own, usually after re-entering the pass-code to get access to the iPhone again. Second question: One of the video would not play. The iPhone gives displays an error message that the articular video is corrupted, but it plays fine on the computer. What am I doing wrong...?

    As I understand it, Apple has not enabled us to view continuous videos yet(video playlist) and we're hoping it may do so with the upcoming update.

  • Hi people,please help! iphone playing up!

    i dont have applecare or insurance
    i cant upgrade til may 2012 and a fast track to the iphone 4 will cost me £185
    has anyone got any idea what it could be????
    MANY THANKS

    It will wipe out the iphone and restore it to factory settings, your contacts should be on your mac/windows address book (anyway you should have a backup or a copy of your contacts) from where itunes take them to sync or in mobileMe if you have a suscription, your music and apps should be stored in your itunes. So you will have to reconfigure the iphone again (i.e. choose the music and apps you want to sync with your iphone, configure wifi setttings, configure email accounts, etc.) Some work to do here! but after your iphone should be working normally.
    Just make sure you sync your iphone with itunes before doing this it will copy apps and music you bought lately to your computer.
