My iphone 3g has been turning on and off every 2-3 minutes over the last hour.

Tried to reset with the sleep/home button as suggested but not working, any suggestions???

    hi Allan,
    Can't make or receive any calls. When making a call, you see the thing dialing but no tone, it rings at he other end however. When somebody trying to call me, it does not ring at my end. If you try to end the call, the phone page will just freeze, when you exit the phone page to go try the MP3 player for example, and come back, the phone is still trying to end the previous call. I tried resetting the network settings, turn the phone off and on , no difference at all. It's easter Sunday, everything is closed here in Montreal.

    Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen items.  A carrier may offer IMEI blocking (non in the USA currently do, but elsewhere some do).  Your carrier would already know your IMEI number anyway, so just contact them and ask them about it.
    It is VERY good that you had a passcode lock on the device.  That means your personal information will be safe.  And yes, after 10 failed attempts (each with increasing time out between allowing another attempt) the device will permanently lock them out until they restore the device in iTunes.  Anyone can go ahead and restore your iPhone as new in iTunes, but that also wipes everything off it and restores it to new condition - which does mean they can go off and use it as theirs, but at least all your data is gone.
    Did you file a police report it was stolen?  Also your carrier should be told (and ask them about IMEI blocking).  Sorry it is gone, but you did the best thing possible to protect yourself and your information when you set up that passcode lock.

    my iphone 5c has been opening apps and typing silly by itself and has become very unresponsive

    If you restored to factory settings without help, your phone has a hardware problem or was hacked/jailbroken at some point.  Take it to Apple for evaluation.  There is nothing further you can do.

    Hi Deb,
    Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience so far.
    I am not sure if you already tried this, but in case not, try to update Muse via Creative cloud directly.
    Start creative cloud application manager, if you dont have it, you can download it from here,
    Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Windows : Adobe Application Manager
    Login using your adobe id, once you are in, switch to Apps, and you should see the Update for Muse, click Update.
    Let me know if you get any error or warning.
    Thanks.

    Did you restore it from backup or as a new device?

    Well, unless you made a backup BEFORE you hit the restore button, your data is gone.

  • Averaging over the last hour and last eight hours.

    This is fairly simple but I'm not sure what a "good" approach is. Basically I need to track how many times a user has performed an action over the last hour and last eight hours. I'll receive a notification of some sort when they perform this action and could get the current time, but I'm not sure what a fast way of determining how many times this has occurred in a given time period is.
    I was thinking perhaps an array with the time of each in milliseconds and just find the first index that was < 8 hours or < 1 hour ago and then subtract the index from the current size. I think that would be problematic though. To keep the array from continuously growing I'd have to shift everything over to the left which means an expensive arraycopy. Perhaps if I only did the resizing when there were > 20 or elements I no longer care about or something would help, but then I'd have to iterate over 20 elements I don't care about everytime it's calculated, which is once a second.
    Any algorithms that will solve this?

    Here is a method with a granularity of a minute (i.e.
    it only updates the average value every minute - you
    can change it to give whatever granularity you want)
    Keep an array with 60 elements in it. The array
    counts the number of times that the user performed
    the action each minute.
    The array in indexed modulo real time, and you make
    entries based on actual time of day. So when a user
    performs an action at 8:38:45 you increment slot 38.
    Each slot counts the number of actions that took
    place in that particular minute. When the next minute
    rolls around, you move to the next slot, set the
    value to zero (thus throwing out the events that
    happened over an hour ago, and prepare to count the
    new events)
    The sum of the entire array is of course the total
    number of events that have taken place in the last
    hour.
    You do not need to actually run through the array and
    total the events every time you want to calculate the
    average. You can use the fact that you increase the
    total by one every time you get a new event and you
    decrease the total by X everytime you zero out a slot
    that had X for its event count.
    So you can just keep a single value, Total, along
    with your array that goes up by one on every event
    and then drops back a little every minute, when you
    throw out the hour old events.That is probably a good solution to the question I posed, but I realize now I was not thorough or accurate enough in describing the context and requirements. I don't think that will work without a lot of unnecessary memory, but maybe I'm wrong.
    The user action is actually the successful completion of entering a form, a bill to be more precise. I expect this to happen 100-300 times an hour to give an idea of the frequency. Given a period of time, if they've been at it for that period of time or longer I need to find the number of bills completed in that most recent period of time. Otherwise, I need to use what is available to predict what they will reach in that period of time. In other words, if the time period is an hour I need to figure out how many bills were completed in the last hour, but if they've been going for only five minutes I need to predict what they will have completed in an hour including those last five minutes. Then I need to do the same thing for seven hours, using the last seven hours or less of data.
    I guess I'd just have to use a granularity of a minute or less and calculate how many bills over how many minutes and make a prediction on that? I suppose I was hoping for something more precise, but now that I think about it that will probably suffice.
    How would you implement it though? Create a "minute" array of size 60 initially, then when reaching the end of that array adding the total for that array to an "hourly" array (keeps track of bills in that hour) and then start over? I guess then you'd just have to add each from the hourly array to the current total and calculate based upon that. At any given time I'd have the number of bills processed in the last x hours and y minutes, which is enough to calculate how much can be completed at that rate in a given hour or seven hour day.
    I'll try this tomorrow when I get to work, thank you very much I was needlessly complicating it with timestamps. In fact, this inadvertently (or perhaps purposefully?) solves an issue with not calculating time when a user is at lunch or on break. At least I think it does.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Iphone 4 has been very slow and sometimes doesn;t respond to touch, anyone have the same problem,also discolouration just behind the battery icon, could anyone help

    since update ios 7 my iphone 4 has been giving me trouble. sometimes will not respond to touch, is very slow when texting, and battery runs down very quickly when not in use and all apps are closed, has anyone had the same problem

  • My iphone 5 screen needs to be turned on and off twice before I can slide the screen to unlock it.

    My iphone 5 screen needs to be turned on and off twice (hit the top button or home button, then turn off the screen again, then hit one of the buttons again) before I can slide the screen to unlock it. Also, when I was using it yesterday, the volume on my music was sliding up and down by itself, it clicked on albums by itself and wouldn't register my touch, the song kept pausing and playing by itself, and when I backed out of the app, all my running apps started sliding back and forth across the screen as if I were running my finger back and forth extremely fast. It also then opened the phone app, started to call one of my contacts, and wouldn't let me hang up. My phone is relatively new (got it back in June) and I haven't dropped my phone at all, haven't gotten it wet, etc... The only thing I've done to it recently is install iOS7. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

    Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!

    weird. When I do it, I have to spell out comma and period if I don't want the punctuation... I just tried the exact same phrase and got "As I said, please don't disturb me." Is there a setting under dictation that says something like "spell out punctuation"?
