Is it normal for the phone battery to heat up?

I own a Nokia 5800, and purchased it back in 2009. Basically, I have started to notice that the charge only lasts about a day or so, nothing more, which means i have to charge it fully every day. I would expect it to last longer, like it did before (sorry, i can't remeber how long it used to last before, never bothered really, to tell the truth).
Another concern of mine is that it heats up alot while watching videos or GPS, especally while watching youtube videos on the inbuilt web browser (using flash that is). When I say "it heats up", i mean i can literally use it as a heater if my hands are cold. If I take off the back cover after watching youtube videos, its blazing (ie. very hot)! I don't want the intenal circuit, sim card or battery cover to melt... or am i being a bit too cautious? I definately don't want it to catch fire, although i doubt it wil lol
So, is this normal for the Nokia 5800 or not? If not then what should I do?
Thnx!

It is normal for the phone to heat up when using processor intensive programmes like video or Navigation, depending on usage, a day isn't 'that' bad, but you can buy replacement batteries quite cheap, I have a 1900mAh one in my N97 !

My G5 iMac has a screen color problem. The color is green with lines. What can I do to repar this? Sometimes the screen will freeze and I have to reboot the computer and the screen will be normal for up to 5-6 hours and then suddenly changes back to green

Try running in Safe mode. This leaves out some video drivers. Which results in machine not using advanced video hardware.

HT2486 my telephone address book -- which I like to keep exclusively for my phone numbers -- keeps updating and adding my whole list of email and physical address contacts. It's clogging up my phone directory. How do I undo that without deleting all my

My phone (4s) is somehow adding all my email and physical mail address book contacts to my contacts in my phone, which I prefer to keep to telephone numbers only. How do I get all this stuff out of my telephone book and back to normal?

If renaming addressbook.data.previous to addressbook.data hasn't brought back your contacts, get rid of addressbook.data (drag it way or delete it) and rename addressbook.data.beforesave to addressbook.data
The rename process works for some people and not for others; I suspect it has to do with how soon after the problem they have tried it.
No, I didn't take your reply as being rude.
I don't know of any way of recovering anything from the skindexinverted file, and anyway I suspect it is litterally an index, and does not hold the full data. Certainly on my machine it is only 1/20th of the size of the data file.

Is it normal for BT remote helper to know and type...

Hi..Recently my mother was having issues with signing into her account to check on recent bills and payments.
She rang BT and allowed a member of staff into her computer via remote assistance.
While the person was in control of her computer he typed in her password....???
After the session she felt quite vulnerable and wondered how the employee had known her password when it is common knowledge that passwords are private and everyone is told never to divulge such information?
She rang BT back and was told that BT do not have access to passwords and no one could answer why this had happened.
My questions are:
Do BT staff in fact have access to their customer's passwords?
If so, why was she not told by the assistant that he would, with her permission put the password in for her? Out of courtesy.
Why did on the subsequent phone call was she told that BT staff do not have access to passwords?
This is very worrying for my mum (and for me on her behalf)
Has anyone else experience this and is there anyone from BT on the forum that can confirm whether you do actually have access to passwords?
Thank you

Hi Anitad5000,
It is not possible for anyone BT or not to know what your Mom's online billing account password is. These details are kept private.
I understand that your Mom had her screen taken over when she called BT. What web browser does your Mom use? Has she by any chance set that browser to remember her log in details?
I understand your Mom had problems getting into her account. What were the problems, had she forgot her password or username? If so the advisor might had had to carry out what is called a password reset, so that she could get access to her account. That would have involved your mom having to chose a new password.
If you are worried about the security of your Mom's account I can take a look to see if I can get that call listened too. If you would like me to look into this for you. Please get you Mom to send me in her details using the link found in the "About me" section of my profile.
Thanks
Paddy

How to make backward compatibility of windows phone 8.1 app for windows phone 7?

I developed windows phone 8.1 app which is in windows phone store. Now, i want to make this app compatible for windows 7 also. Is it possible, if yes then how?

It may be that you are using non-backward compatible capabilities in your Windows Phone 8.1 app(s).
Developers that want to develop for different OS's usually have platforms with the different OS's on them for developing applications so they work on each platform.
I suppose you developed for Windows phone 8.1 rather than Windows phone 7. Therefore your app runs on a different framework than a Windows phone 7 has as well as probably newer hardware with greater capabilities.
So you will probably need to purchase an older phone that came with Windows phone 7 in order to develop for. I couldn't find documentation like the last link below (App capabilities and hardware requirements for Windows Phone 8) for Windows phone 7
from Microsoft but maybe you can.
Windows Phone OS 7.1 - Developing a Windows Phone Application from Start to Finish
Types of Applications
The Windows Phone application platform provides two frameworks for developing applications:
Silverlight
The Silverlight framework supports event-driven, XAML-based application development.
XNA
The XNA Framework supports loop-based games.
Silverlight and XNA can also be combined in a single application.
The following table lists some of the criteria that you can use to determine whether you should use Silverlight or the XNA Framework for your Windows Phone application. With Windows Phone OS 7.1, you can combine Silverlight and XNA into one application.
For more information about Silverlight and XNA, see
The Silverlight and XNA Frameworks for Windows Phone. For more information about the application platform, see
Application Platform Overview for Windows Phone.
What's New in Windows Phone 8.1
Platform convergence with Windows Store apps
Windows Phone 8.1 introduces an important change in the Windows Phone developer ecosystem. In this release, Windows Phone converges with the Windows Store apps platform into a single developer platform that runs the same types of apps—Windows Runtime apps.
Platform convergence began in Windows Phone 8, which supports a small subset of Windows Runtime APIs, but which differs from Windows in many core areas. In Windows Phone 8.1, there’s so much more in common—a much larger API set, a similar app model
and life cycle, a shared toolset, a common UI framework—Windows Phone and Windows Store app developer platforms truly have become one, single development platform.
Of course there are still some small differences in behavior and supported features between Windows Phone and Windows Store apps. Some of these are the result of timing of the different product cycles, and they may not appear in future releases. Some differences
are the result of the different natures of phones and computers, their sizes, and the way people use them. We encourage developers to think in terms of Windows app development—developing for a single Windows Runtime, but targeting two different platforms on
phones and computers.

Create cnf-files (sccp) for 7912G phone appears to be wrong

Hi again Cisco techs,
Have added file for 7912G phone.
Uploaded 7912 sccp firmware for 7912G phone via tftp-server and sh running-config confirms this
However. run create cnf-files shows differently. Same as sh telephony-service tftp-bindings shows 7960 files
Confirmed files via create cnf-files command
System replies with below error
CNF file creation is already On
Updating CNF files
%Error deleting flash:SEPDEFAULT.cnf (No such file or directory)
%Error deleting flash:XMLDefault.cnf.xml (No such file or directory)CNF-FILES: Clock is not set or synchronized,
retaining old versionStamps
CNF files update complete
cme_router(config-telephony)#
cme_router#
Have attached output of more sepdefault.cnf and xmldefault.cnf.xml and sh telephony-service tftp-bindings for analysis.
I suspect that first file is corrupt and 2nd file needs updating with correct information
Can you confirm this please?
Please advise if you can.

That did not work, but using CS6 instead of CS5 seemed to do the trick. Perhaps I tried to use the old version on newer projects, and the program simply pronounce the file as corrupt.
Thanks for the comebacks.

Incident Management System for Mobile Phone (Android and IOS)

Dear Solman Gurus,
We have already Incident Management System in our Solman 7.1 .
We are using it efficiently, but we want to use it in mobile phones also(android and ios).
Also we have a web link and we can manage our incident management system in this link http://xxsolman.xxxxxxxx.com:8006/support . We are using for WEB also for Incident Management System.
My question is ; how can i use it for Mobile Phone Operation systems(android and ios) ? Which guide should i follow ? Should i upgrade pacth or something in our solman ?
Looks like Android application is : SAP IT Incident Management

Hi Kemal,
You need to adopt the Mobile strategy for ITSM to use this. Broadly speaking, the ITSM apps can be accessible either via internet or intranet. If you plan to use the apps outside your company network then you would need Sybase tools to enable this as shown below;

Reserved for Store Pickup, No pre-order and Ship to Store!

I'm reading all these discussions and my head is exploding. I was up @ 4am yesterday banging away like you all.
My criteria was this; I was eligible for upgrade @ $199 with the activation fee waived (sweet). I wanted to pick the phone up at my Apple store because I trust it more then brown.
When I clicked the pre-order link, there was NO option to have it sent to the store, it could only be sent to my house. Let me repeat that, NO option to send anywhere but house. It even says it "Pre-order your iPhone 4 from the Apple Online Store and we’ll ship it free — directly to your door and ready to use."
So I went to the reserve in store process. There was NO WAY TO PAY for it up front. Let me repeat that; NO WAY TO PAY for the reserved phone. So I received my confirmation email and said there is a phone waiting for me on the 24th!
I called 2 Apple stores and chatted online with 3 Apple support people and they ALL, every single 1 of them, said the same exact thing. The only way to pickup in the store is to go through the reservation process. The store will have 2 lines, reserved and general. The reserved will be there all day for you to pick up.
So, does anyone have some proof that you pre-ordered it, paid for it and have it sent to your Apple store, not your home to pick up?

I got to the page state,"iPhone is reserved for pickup." Please bring government issued ID, debit or credit card...... No email received. Do I really have one on hold????
This time for this phone things are very confusing. I preordered yesterday for in store pickup got through the verification process saw that all my data and cell plan info were correct. Then at the end I got the message "see you at the store". Bring picture id. Nothing else, no confirming email as of today, nothing showing under my account in the on line store. I just came from the store that I picked for my phone to go to and there is nothing in their system either. So I went down to the AT&T store in that mall and preordered it there, no issues. It's just as well since I'm ordering it under my wife's number to get the discount and would have to go there any way to make the switch. I've read other posts from people that saw the same thing on line that I did when they ordered, "see you at the store" but no other confirmation. I'm going to assume that it means the order did not go through. So keep that in mind if you got what I did.

Hi, I bought an original iPhone 6 from an authorised dealer in China, however on the back of the phone, the FC, CE, and other safety logo symbols are missing. Is this normal for the chinese iPhone 6?

Also very strange is that I don't have the folder "MobileSync" in /Library/Application Support/MobileSync on my computer. I can't find that folder anywhere.
Correct.
You need to go to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/.
The ~ indicates your User folder not the top level /Library/ folder.
Click on the desktop, then hold Option and go to Finder menu Go and Library will be there (only when holding Option as it is hidden).

I am using Iphone 5. Since the last 3 weeks the phones has been acting weird. on dialling a call it get hung on disconnecting it stays on the call ending screen only. this happens for atleast 5 to 7 minutes and then it gets to normal

I am using Iphone 5. SInce the last 3 weeks the phones has been acting weird. on dialling a call it get hung on disconnecting it stays on the call ending screen only. this happens for atleast 5 to 7 minutes and then it gets to normal or the other way is to turn the device off and then turn it on. the phones also running slow and therefore at times becomes very cumbersome. a few of my friends have also been having the same problems.
I have taken the phone to the service outles but the best they did was to reboot the phone it works fine for a day or two but again the same issue.
Can anyone share any info on it?

I'm glad to hear that they replaced your phone. Any experience I have had with Apple customer service and/or Genius bar has been extremely positive. While I have had positive outcomes from trouble with other phones in the past, they are not as quick and friendly. I had a Motorola phone and a Samsung phone go bad several years ago and warranty work through AT&T required that I wait for a replacement unit and then mail back the original unit to keep from being charged for the device. This usually meant almost a week without a phone. Nice to walk into Apple and walk out with a replacement device. Enjoy your phone.

Is it normal for battery to drain 10% every hour and phone getting extremely hot

My iphone 4 (replacement I got during the summer) heats up every so often. If i'm browsing, the side where the sim card is located heats up, pretty much everything I do the phone heats up. But the biggest issue is that my phone drains 10% every hour.
I have 5.0.0. When I charge my phone, the phone heats up. I never charge with the wall charger. I always charge using USB and my macbook.
I had my phone charged up to 100%. I made a 10 minute phone call, and sent some text messages, and my phone is already at 91%.
When i tether to my laptop, the phone heats up.
Before I got my replacement, I NEVER had any battery issues, i NEVER had any heating issues.
I took it to genius. And the guy told me that it is NORMAL for battery to be drained quickly. And that it is NORMAL that my phone warms up.
I even got him to feel how warm my phone gets, and he said "oh that is just normal"
How is this normal? I don't have any more warranty, but i feel like apple gave me a crappy replacement.

No, it's not normal. Turn of whatever is using Location services, based on your description that is my first guess is that something is using location services constantly and draining the battery.
If that's not the case then some other app is running in the background.
Restore as new... use the device in the "new" "pristine" state for a day or so, does the issue persist? If it does, you definitely have a hardware issue that Apple needs to address.
If it does not persist, then start restoring apps, one or two at a time until you find the one that is the culprit.

I have iphone 4 . I don't know how that happened that the normal color on all icons changed ( for example, normally green color phone icon is now purple color ) and photo pictures turned negative ( ghost-like ). Your help will be appreciated .

Hi kshieh
You can try two possible steps:-
1]Triple click the home button. You should get an accessibility menu.deselect the negative/black and white option.
2]Go to settings->General->accessibility->and deselect invert colours.
That should fix it
