Need Help Fellow iPhone Users

Is occasional awkward behavior acceptable when operating the iphone? I'm asking b/c I haven't had mine for too long and I've come across some strange actions from the phone. Such as:
- Refusing to wake up. It goes to an empty grayish black screen when you hit the wakeup or home screen button, but then it goes back to normal when you hit it again. This doesn't happen all the time.
- Dimmed home screen icon. This has happened to me once. The "ipod" icon was being displayed as if it was being pressed on, thus the dimmed appearance. It returns to normal quickly. This again doesn't happen all the time.
- Mailbox Behaviors (Drafts, Sent, Deleted) freezes. When trying to access any of these three, the phone freezes instantly. The freeze is quickly remedied with a tap of the home screen button. This happens sporadically.
- An outgoing call does not go through on my end. The person on the other end can hear me but I can't hear them. All I hear is my echo. This again does not happen all the time.
So to sum it up, I experience a bunch of weird behavior... sometimes. One day the phone can be very "buggy" and lacking in performance, and the next time it can be functioning flawlessly.
So is this normal? Thank you so much!

Standard troubleshooting steps in order are; power your iPhone off and on - which should be done with any GSM phone every few days or so, Reset, which is done by pressing and holding the Home button and Sleep/Wake or On/Off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so. I Reset my iPhone once a week or so regardless if needed.
Last being a Restore with iTunes. Be sure to sync your iPhone immediately before dong a Restore to update your iPhone's backup which is created and updated by iTunes if needed as part of the sync process.
When restoring, there are two options. From your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. Choose from the backup first, which must be followed by a sync. If this doesn't work, restore as a new iPhone of not from the backup. This will lose all your iPhone settings, SMS messages available on your iPhone, notes available on your iPhone, recent calls, call favorites.
If none of the standard troubleshooting steps resolves these problems, time to give AppleCare a call (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • Greeting fellow iPhone users in the Philippines.

    Greetings fellow iPhone users! I currently have a problem with my 1st generation iPhone. The signal transmitter seems to be broken and the battery seems too old. Can anyone help? Tried asking in an Apple Center but to no avail. I'm in the Philippines.tnx!

    You would need to jailbreak in order to unlock and switch SIM card for local use. You would get everything except data I think but I am not sure. If you Jailbreak it will void your warranty. I do not know if you can unlock it without jailbreaking, most likely not with iphone. In your place, I would turn off data future off and use only wifi. Get international voice package and call sometimes for few minutes. If you need to talk more than 30 minutes in a one month then I would get another pay as you go cheap phone in another country to save money.

    You will need the original owner of the iPhone to unlock it for you, or the iPhone will remain useless.  It has been Activation Locked, which is described here:

  • I need help with IPHOne 4s IOS 7.0.4 battery life not improving

    Alright, I Ned help with my iPhone 4S battler life, it is horrible, it will drain in about 12 hours. All I do is check my email, text a few people, and check a few apps. When I may school, it is a hundred percent, then I check it during school etc, when I go to bed it is about 20-30% battery life. Need help. Any suggestions? I tried a hard resets and restoring to a new iPhone etc, nothing worked.

    I"m not at all sure what is the problem when you are describing your battery as holding its charge for 12 hours???
    How long do you want your device to hold its battery charge???
    Please see this article for tips on conserving battery charge. But PLEASE if you are looking for a device to hold its charge for LONGER than 12 hours I would suggest an android.

  • Need help w/BW user authorization to see Web Templates thru portal

    Hello,
    We have designed Web Templates in BW which we intend to use through the SAP Portal. When these web templates are accessed via a URL which also passes a generic CPIC UserID/Password (created on the BW server), the template is fully functional and does not prompt the user for any further authentication. When we try to call up this same URL via the portal (including the CPIC User ID and password information), the report under /sap/bw/BEx comes up fine, but we are prompted for logins for nearly every object under the /MIME/ repository called by the Web Template. We have already set the /sap/bw/BEx/MIME service (ICF) to be an anonymous service (using the same UserID and Password that we are passing in the URL). So, to me it seems like additional role needs to be assigned to this user. Any ideas?
    Here is the error message we get:
    Logon failed
    What has happened?
    Call of URL http://xxxxxxxx:8002/sap/bw/Mime/BEx/JavaScript/epcfproxy.js terminated due to error in logon data.
    Note
    Logon performed in system T04 .
    Logon performed for client 020, user , and language EN. 
    What can I do?
    Check that you have entered the client, user, and password correctly.
    If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.

  • Need help in Importing User, Shared and Journals into Exchange

    Hi,
    I have been tasked with the following imports into EX07 and EX10 following an acquisition:
    Shared MB 12 GB, corrupt pre-nov 2013 archives of users 30GB, shared sent items 4GB, users sent items 80GB. All in .pst format.
    4-8TB of journal data to be imported into Enterprise Vault 2010 with EX2010 (in .pst format)
    I'm looking for the best approach to get these imports done. Also, need to compile an assessment done on the time and performance ramifications of running these imports into EX as other migrations are currently on. Do I need to parallel run perfmon with
    EX counters to monitor while import is running in the background?
    Is it a good idea to run import of journal into Enterprise Vault of 4-8 TB data in .pst format in one go?
    Thank you for your comments...
    TY

    Hi,
    In addition to Rajith's suggestion, I would like to verify the following things:
    In Exchange 2007, you can use the Import-Mailbox cmdlet to import all messages types, including messages, calendar items, contacts, distribution lists, journal entries and so on. Here is an example of importing the mailbox data from the amy.pst file that
    is in the Sent Items folder:
    Import-Mailbox -Identity amy -PSTFolderPath C:\PSTFiles\amy.pst -IncludeFolders '\Sent Items'
    In Exchange 2010, you need to use the New-MailboxImportRequest cmdlet.
    For more information, here is a thread for your reference.
    New-MailboxImportRequest

    Hope it helps.

  • Author needs help with iPhone (or any smartphone)

    Hello. I am nearing the end of a YA (young adult/teen) thriller. I want one of my characters to be able to copy the information from a smartphone, (type not specified), onto a computer (type not specified). The information would include text messages and, ideally and importantly, emails. The character is an IT expert (I am not!). I don't need to write the details of how he would do this - I just need to know whether or not it's possible. Any help would be gratefully recieved. I have Macs, but not an iPhone (or any sort of smartphone). Many thanks.
