My I phone 3GS won't stop searching

my iPhone won't stop searching

Searching what? You need to be more explicit. What are you doing with the phone? What are you seeing? 
And no need to double post. That will not get a quicker response; that will only annoy your fellow users.

  • My iPhone added a device successfully but now won't stop searching.  Any suggestions?

    MY iPhone added a device successfully but now won't stop searching. Has used all battery  any suggestions

    Bluetooth when turned on is always in a discovery/pairing mode. It does not really use that much battery when doing so, but if you want to turn it off, you can do so from the Control Center, an easier way to turn it off. I've never turned mine off, and it does not make a noticeable impact on my battery. I suggest you check to see if there isn't something else that is consuming your battery.

  • I have iphone 6 with ios 8.1.1. The bluetooth pairs with my sony car radio and everything works fine. However, the iphone won't stop searching for other devices.

    I have an iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.1 operating system. The Bluetooth pairs with my Sony car radio and works fine. However, the iPhone will not stop searching for other devices. This does not seem to affect anything, but I can't help but think it is using battery power.

    One possibility: 
    How do you know it is searching for other devices?  Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?
    Why is it searching for other devices? Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth? 

  • When opening Mail, sending mail won't stop searching?

    When I open mail App. On my MBP, running Lion mail loads all my accounts fine, but sending mail doesn't stop searching for sbcglobal.net account. Therefor can't send any mail from any accounts.

    Maintenance you do before you need it! I do it at least once a month, sometimes more often. The free application Onyx is a great application for this.
    It could also be that you don't have enough working RAM. Pages can have problem with memory use when the documents are large in Mb.

  • "Internet Tethering" won't stop searching when set to "Airplane Mode"

    I recently went abroad to Brazil and I set up my iPhone in Airplane mode, I notice that "INTERNET TETHERING" was constantly "SEARCHING" and in turn shortening my iphone's battery life.
    I went to the Apple store and show them an I was told " NO it won't use up your battery life..." I know my phone and when I had it on version 3 I didn't have this issue.

    Hey,
    > Do you run into the issue in Photoshop it the case when you use <CMD>+< - > ?
    No, works fine. Although its not the best alternative, because my method allows to "specify" the zooming region (due to the mouse position)
    > Did you try to reset the zoom tool (Right-click on the magnifier icon on the option bar?)
    I did do a reset, but it didn't influence the "bad" behavior.
    > Do you have a key repeater function activated in the OS (accessibility?)?
    None that I know of. Couldn't find any. But if so, shouldn't it affect the zooming in as well (which isn't the case)?
    > If you never use the animated zoom, you can disable it in Photoshop>preferences>general>animated zoom.
    I tried both: enabled it causes the mentioned "error" behavior. Disabled the zoom out stops but its remarkably unresponsive: Once I use the key combination and click the left-mouse-btn it takes seconds before the zoom out happes; the process _feels_ quite long.
    Best,

  • Prompt to Update Account with Mobile Phone Number WON'T STOP APPEARING

    When signing in to Verizon a box keeps coming up to enter mobile phone number. I have been checking off "No Number" and it says account settings updated but the box keeps appearing. I have deleted cookies and history as instructed by cust. svc but that did not fix the problem. Using Firefox.

    Thanks for contacting us MsSusan. I just attempted this, to test it out, and was able to confirm it works. If you have either the Internet Explorer or Chrome browser on your device, could I have you try it again with either of those browsers (After clearing cookies) and let us know your results?
    Thanks,

  • My iPhone 5s bluetooth won't stop searching and won't connect to any other bluetooth device.

    I've been trying to pair it with my MacBook Pro but the iPhone won't pair.
    Nor will the iPhone pair with my JBL Flip.
    How do I go about this issue?

    If your iPod is still charging if you plug it to the adapter, let it charge for about 10min, then connect to your computer in recovery mode, explained in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If it does not charge, you'll have to get it serviced.
    Apple can offer you a replacement device, but you'll have to pay for it:

    Your expectations are not based in reality.
    Your G4 will not run iCloud. There will be no upgrade from Mobile Me to iCloud for you with that machine unless you do it manually, and only mail will work without further expenditure.

  • Streaming audio data won't stop unless I turn off the phone for 5 minutes.

    I have been testing the Curve 8330 regarding streaming audio from an icecast server. The address of the station is http://www.AirProgressive.org, click on "listen". (I have already run this by the icecast experts and they say it is a Blackberry "bug")
    BLACKBERRY USERS! PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE STREAM (dataflow) DOES NOT STOP WHEN YOU CLICK "STOP" ON THE MEDIA PLAYER! (and will continue for as long as you leave it on, and even if you turn off your BB for less than 5 Minutes.) I'm not sure if you are charged for these streams, but it seems that the battery is depleted rapidly if this continues without aborting it. See details of my testing below:
    > Access icecast stream by clicking on the link on the website:
         http://www.airprogressive.org:8000/stream.m3u
    > Stream consists of mp3 at 32kbps / 22050 Hz.
    > Stock media player launches, stops at "Do you want to open or save the item."
        > No connections started yet (viewing "List Clients" page of icecast admin interface).
    > Click "open", stream begins playing.
    > Two connections are started instead of just one, always offset by 2 seconds.
        -- but sometimes only one connection starts.
    > FYI, Icecast config: <client-timeout>30</client-timeout>
    Here is the output from the "List Clients" page of Icecast2 Admin

    Note the last two entries with the same IP address. This is the Blackberry. Top entry is winamp player on PC for reference. Don't know why two listener connections are generated.

    I can understand that the player may continue to communicate when "stopped" to fill the lookahead buffer, but when it is restarted, it should use the same connection and not start a new one.

    So, to stop the streaming server from communicating with the Blackberry handset, you must either turn it off or disable mobile network for at least 5 minutes.
    It appears that the handset continues to transfer data (and therefore incur charges, if the user does not have an unlimited data plan) if the handset is not turned off or mobile network disabled for at least five minutes. It also runs down the battery much faster because the radio transmitter is actively being used, even if the user is not listening to the stream.
    The Blackberry network has intervening servers that continue to receive data from the streaming server even if the handset is off. This behavior likely has utility to deal with the realities of the cellphone network, to allow the stream to be transferred from one cell to another, and deal with the possibility that the handset may be out of range for up to 5 minutes without "interruption." However, it is hard to turn off the stream.
    QUESTIONS:
    1. Is there a way to stop this sort of behavior using a configuration setting or something? It seems particularly stupid to start a new stream connection each time a STOP/START cycle is completed, allowing the old connections to continue streaming data (even if the data does not make it to the handset).
    2. IS IT TRUE that the user will be "charged" for the data streams that are not disconnected?
    3. Is there a way for a developer to send a signal to the intervening cellphone network to discontinue the orphan streams?
    THANKS!!

    No, I'm using something like this :
    to start...
                       channel = new SoundChannel();
                                            soundPlay = new Sound();
                                            urlReq=new URLRequest;
                                            urlReq.url=mylUrl;  // url of radio mp3
                                            soundPlay.load(urlReq);
                       channel = soundPlay.play();
    to stop it...
                          channel.stop();
                          channel=null;
                          try{soundPlay.close();} catch (e:Error) {} // error or not, the sream won't stop.
    Any idea ? Did you try with a NetStream object ?

  • PLEASE HELP!My phone won't stop rebooting!

    For some reason my phone turns on, and then the screen showing "Blackberry" with the loading bar appears, but it gets about 3 quarters of the way then flashes off then starts to repeat the same process. I am lost on what to do, even after reading sevral solutions that haven't worked!
    Also when I plug it into my computer and open Blackberry desktop software, it recognises the phone but won't connect to it! Please please help!

    However, there's no way for anyone to tell you which OS to download for your model BB. If your carrier supports multiple, then you should download the one running on your BB. But, in it's current condition, you have no way to tell now -- only if you already knew before this all happened could you possibly know now. So, I'd suggest going with the most recent version. Your BB, in it's current state, is pretty much toast anyway (including, btw, all of your data...hopefully you've been backing up regularly).
    Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
