My iphone 4S made a humming sound then dropped my call..now my calls last a few second before being dropped. What is the reason?

Thank you very much guys.  Looking back on how I ended up in this situation in the first place,  I started by google searching "apple support",  clearly I was mistaken and ended up calling one of the google adverts instead of real apple support.  My wholehearted apology goes out to apple whom obviously did not answer my phone call.
I belive that this is the advertised number that I called and the misleading ad that comes up when I google search apple support:
Call For Apple Support1 (866) 691 7793
apple.support.mytechhelp.com/
Get Professional Tech Support. Call Now.
Boy am I red in the face.  These people are masquerading as genuine apple support people when clearly they are not.  I think tonight I will call them back and simply scream vulgarities at them for as long as they stay on the line.
A good lesson has been learned by me and hopefully anyone reading this.
Get your support phone number from the apple website and not a google search. 
Man do I feel dumb,  although I would feel a lot dumber if I had bought into the pile of garbage these people were trying to feed me.
Apple I hope you litigate a cease and desist order on these people because they pretend to be the real deal.  They did not even try to correct me when I called them apple support, nor did they properly identify the company that they are truly representing.

    My iPhone is getting stuck for a few seconds everytime I do something,  if i type a letter it will type it twice or a few times, if i click to close the browser it stucks there for a few seconds before closing, if i try to open some app it gets stuck there.
    I have restored it and loaded the backed up material again. But this problem doesnt seem to go away. Sometimes it is too much sometimes it is not noticeable, so what exactly could be wrong and what ALL should I do to get it fixed?  Please reply.

    Thank you. You are very kind. First I backed everything up, then restored as a new phone, and then i couldn't see the contacts, the contacts were not restored when i restored as a new phone. So in order to get the contacts I restored from the backup but then the same problem happened again.
    What I meant to saw was that the probelm disappeared when i restored as a new phone, but it reappeared when i restored from the backup. So is there a way to just somehow get the old contacts when the phone is restored as a new phone. All I need from the current phone is the contacts to be there when I retore as a new phone.
    I hope I am clear.
    Kindly help

    I did that many times, I mean I do it everytime. But it doesnt seem to help. It is strange sometimes the phone is slow and stucks for a many seconds, sometimes it is just one or two seconds. Thank you for your help though, but is there something else that you could think of?

  • HT201412 My iPhone 4S stops charging a few seconds after being connected to the USB, it will, however, charge when it is switched off.

    iPhone stops charging a few seconds after being connected to a USB slot, it will charge when switched off is I think it must be a software issue.

    HAve you tried using a different power chord? If the power chord is not the issue, it could be the power supply inside your mac.

  • Iphone 3gs makes a static sound then freezes

    my iphone makes a static/fuzzy sound sometime then freezes and i have to hold home butten and on/off button then it takes ages to turn has anyone else had same problem or now how to fix cheers

    The phone has not been jailbroken. All original. Looks like I'm on iOS 6.1.3. It apears several other people are having this mysterious clicking as well with newer models of the iPhone and across most carriers. No one seems to have a rock solid idea of what's causing the fast clicking noise or more importantly how to resolve it.

  • Started using TOO much data with iPhone 4.  Was using less then 200mg a month now using over 500 ...?

    I was using less than 200mg a month.  On WiFi alot.  I updates some apps (like 30) and started using 500+ per month.  ATT no help.

    I looked around for more answers, found that people were having issues with iCloud updating during the middle of the night using the cellular 3g not wifi. I've turned off my cellular at home so it will only use wifi, and turn it back on only when I need it.  I've also turned off the backup in icloud and will see how that goes. I also was told by an ATT&T support person to download an app called Onavo Count that will keep track of which apps are using the most data. Hope this helps.

  • Why do some songs in my library now only play for a few seconds and then skip onto another song?

    Some songs that previously played without issue now just play for the first 10 seconds or so and then skip onto the next song

    I wish I could provide you an answer, but I am experiencing the same issue myself. It's somehow iTunes related from what I have been able to figure out.
    Here are a couple of clues I've picked up so far:
    Somewhere between 20-30% of the songs in my library are affected.
    I have only seen AAC encoded songs exhibit the problem (iTunes purchased, not imported).
    I haven't seen the issue with any songs I bought after Jan 20, 2009.
    Playing the same song file in quicktime doesn't reproduce the issue.
    Affected songs skip on both iTunes and the iPod app of my iPhone 4 alike.
    Forcing the song to stop at the end through the song options doesn't resolve the problem.
    Songs skip (end) at random times from song to song, but repeatedly for each song at the same location.
    The biggest clue that I've found is that when I find an affected file, almost all songs I purchased on that date exhibit the same problem. (I have only found a few examples when it does not affect every song on the same purchase date group.)
    Some details about my setup:
    Windows 7 Professional
    iTunes version 10.6.3.25
    iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • [MBA 2013]sound crashes and restart after a few seconds

    Hi guys,
    I bought a Macbook Air in June 2013 and 2-3 months ago, I started having problems with the sound.
    Basically, there is always one of those things running : iTunes, VLC or youtube/soundcloud so I always use the sound.
    After some time, the sound is strange like it is dying. After a few seconds, it stops working and then I have to wait around 5-10 seconds for it to be automatically restarted. I don't have headphone or anything plugged in and no external sound card.
    All my drivers are up to date and I have the last Mac OS X version (10.9.4 I think).
    Does anybody know what I should do ? Format it ? Uninstall all the software like Boom, Accubeatmix (maybe they cause the problem but I've used them since I have the MBA).
    I am used to using linux commands in a terminal if there is some dirty things to fix that so feel free to share those.
    Thanks.

    I uninstalled Boom and it seems to work now. Strange that it worked without any problem for a long time.
    I'll install it again and see what happens.
    Thanks.

  • Shuffle appears for a few second and then it's gone! (itune 7.3)

    Can't access my Shuffle since last night! (right after the software update for sound).
    My shuffle mount on the desktop for a few second than disappears, it is available in Itune under devices but you can't copied or erased anything on it.
    I have tried restore, restart, and all the USB port without success! ;-(
    Has anyone the same problem?
    Thanks

    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)
    iMac 24   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Me too. This is really poor. I plug in my shuffle and I get no status lights (maybe a quick red one then nothing). I don't know whether it is charging properly or not. In addition it will not respond to autofill. I can drag and drop things into it but when I do so, it will not play items in the proper order. I have never seen such poor software upgrades as this. It went from working fine to upgrades for both the shuffle and iTunes that degraded performance.
    And don't just tell me to restore, etc. I'm no dummy.

  • Sound quality decline in calls

    After upgrading to 3.0 (in Italy, Vodafone) I'm experiencing a dramatic decline in sound quality during calls. While the signal icon is always full, the sound is "metal" and intermittent and my callers report very bad sound quality and difficult to understand words.
    Has somebody the same experience?
    Stefano

    I have same issue. My new iPhone 3G S (US/ATT) sound quality on phone call is very poor. Lots of hissing noise, sometimes even it feels as though there is a small waterfall in the background. Deeply disappointed with this issue right now and in Iphone 3G s !

  • IPhone 5 battery life dramatically has changed. I can hardly go through the day without it dying. Once I hit 20% it's down hill from there. It will jump down to 9% in a few seconds and refuse to come back on. Any fixes?

    I bought my iPhone 5 the day the stores in my area received them in. I was incredibly impressed with the battery life for an iPhone. The battery life was awesome up until the last few weeks. Now I can hardly make it through the day on a charge. When I get around 20% power left its only a matter of a few seconds before the batter jumps down to below 10% without me doing anything. Immediately after that it shuts off and refuses to come back on when only 30 seconds ago it said I had 20% battery power.... I'm not a terribly heavy user on my phone. I just check the social media sites a few times a day and send a few text messages and that's all. I've shut off location services, Bluetooth, automatic updating of email, closing apps and all that stuff. I'm almost always connected to wifi when I do anything with the Internet  on my phone.
