On 3rd replacement! help with ongoing issues

I am desperate! I got my first 3gs in May and by July I took it to a Genius Bar becuase of battery issues. They replaced it immediately.
That phone worked fine at first then it started to freeze. It would turn off randomly and I wouldn't be able to get it back on no matter what way I tried to plug it in (into my imac, into the wall, into speakers - nothing worked). It would finally turn on a few hours later. The phone also started to make a bizarre noise after haning up a call. A few seconds after hang up a loud fuzzy quick noise would come out of the speakers. I took it in to the Genius Bar, we reset everything as new, and after about a week, I took it back again with the same issues and the phone was replaced the second time.
The second phone, after about a month, had the same issues with freezing and the noise from the speaker. We reset it as new and after a few appointments, it was replaced and I got my 3rd phone.
My 3rd phone is having the exact same issues so i took the phone and our computer into the Apple Store. They checked out the computer - everything was fine - looked at my itunes and didn't see any issues and we reset the phone again. A week later, my issues are back and worse. My phone will not play on any speakers at all (it acknowledges it's plugged in and charges and won't play. My husband's iphone will play on the speakers), and when I put headphones in it's extremely fuzzy (have tried 3 sets of headphones). The phone freezes and is making the same noise after a call ends.
Any ideas of what else to look for or do would be SO helpful. I do not want another replacement phone. Could there be a virus? Could it be an app (I only have a few apps - NPR, ATT, that's it).
My husband has a different login on our computer and has the same phone and hasn't had any issues.
Thank you!

No your iPhone can't have viruses. Take it back to apple, I went through 4 iPhone 3G's till I got a good one, it happens with technology sometimes, you get duds. You need to go back to apple.

    The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet.  Are you still using the same wireless router.  The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace.  For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio.   I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

  • Is there a phone number I can call to talk to a live person about help with Lightroom issues ?

    Is there a phone number I can call to talk to a live person about help with Lightroom issues ?

    well the reason I wanted to talk to someone live because it would take forever to explain everything on here But anyway, here goes. I have an HP Pavilion Notebook with Intel Core i5-323om CPU @2.60 GHz and 8 gb ram 64bit. I am trying to run Lightroom 5.7 on my laptop and having major issues. I use an external hard drive for the storage of my photos. When I try to use Lightroom I run into many issues: Flickering of the screen, freezing up, slow, the loading circle just goes round and round lol. If I go to the washroom or leave the computer for even a minute it freezes up. I have to keep pressing Ctr/alt/delete to bring it back when it flickers. I have to constantly exit out of the program and restart it to be able to edit even just a couple of photos and then it starts acting up again.
    I have tried un-installing and re-installing, updating everything on my pc, changing compatibility settings, updating development settings, I even took the laptop into have it looked at and they did all kinds of updates etc...and still couldn't figure out why it wasn't working for me. I have gone through the lists of troubleshooting for LR problems and there just seem to be nothing that works.....I have made new catalogues, moved them, tried using the software on my pc without the EHD, etc etc.......I have tried EVERYTHING...I think.....so I was looking for some answers as to why this is happening....

    Of course there is, if you are using a current version of Photoshop,  If you are on CS5 or earlier, you are out of luck.
    Only Adobe customer service can assist you with your issue. These are user forums; you are not addressing Adobe here.
    Click on the link below, and after that click on "Still need Help? Contact us."
    Then on the next page, click Chat
    There is also a phone option.  Brace yourself for a looooong wait and for trying to decipher strong East Indians accents.

  • Need help with Workflow Issue: One notification sending out non-stop email.

    Hi,
    We've created a custom PO Approval Workflow based on standard PO Approval Workflow and we've had this for a while now. Last week, we encountered an issue where the notification keeps on sending email to the Suppliers and Buyers. We found out that the particular notification_id in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table keeps getting updated by the minute setting the MAIL_STATUS to INVALID then back to SENT then back to INVALID again and so on. We think that whatever is updating this table is the cause but up until now we haven't found what's updating it. Below are some information of our instance.
    Oracle Applications: 11.5.10.2
    Database: 10.2.0.4 64 bit
    OS: AIX
    Custom Workflow based on revision 115.127.11510.16
    Customizations:
    - Created custom notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP based on EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
    - Created custom message XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF based on EMAIL_PO_PDF.
    - Added #WFM_CC to XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF.
    - Created custom attribute XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER and set as Performer to notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
    - Created custom function XX_ADDTL_STARTUP_VAL right after function "Set Workflow Startup Values". This function sets #WFM_CC attribute and XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER attribute.
    Not sure if the customizations have anything to do with the issue since not all POs have this issue. Have anyone experience this? Would really appreciate any help with this.
    Thanks,
    Allen

  • How can I get help with coverage issues at my home?

    My coverage is poor at my home.   Is there any way to get help with this?   Thanks.

    You can try a Samsung network extender ($249) which uses a high speed modem connection, or a signal booster from elsewhere ($250 and up) and that might help.

  • Help with backup issues on ITunes IPhone

    I recently updated to iOS7 however before this i did the following:

    2. I restored my IPhone fine and updated to iOS7 in the process once restored
    3. I went through the steps on setting up iOS7 and got the the 'Restore from backup section' - I selected restore from backup and it started retoring from my last backup with all my apps/Contacts etc, It said it would take 16 minutes to fully sync it all back

  • Help with speed issue : who to contact

    I have BT Infinity 2 via HH5 and speeds are as follows;
    Wireless: DL 38M and UL 8M
    Ethernet: DL 38M and UL 8M
    and the above is a constant result, ethernet is not any faster
    I completed the BTWholesale speed test and get the same result. However, if I run the further diagnostics the information that comes back highlights the download in red and says I should contact my BB supplier.
    I note also that the range for DL is very tight with a max below 40M, however I am on BT Infinity 2 as upload shows max of 20M. The HH5 indicates that the DL synch rate is normally nearer 45M, so i am wondering if some equipment needs resetting at the exchange.
    So can anybody add clues, solutions or provide the best contact number to get this matter resolved.

  • Help with keyboard issue - some works, some doesn't. :(

    Hi all - I hope someone can help me out. I have a iBook G4 that had worked like perfection up until yesterday, that's when my keyboard issue started.
    Here's the issue:
    The top row (function keys, num lock, volume, display) works just fine, the cap button light is stuck on - cannot be changed, and nothing else on the keyboard functions.
    Here's what I've tried:
    1) tried a restart - no changed
    2) shut down and removed, checked, and then reinstalled the battery - no change
    3) popped out keyboard to check underneath for debris, etc and then replaced back - no change
    4) tried pressing down on each key to see if one was stuck - no change
    5) tried to see if resetting my PMU would help (not sure if it actually took since I have to use the keyboard buttons + the power button), in any case it shut down, when I restarted still no change
    6) called Apple tech - they put me in DOS (so apparently my "s" and apple key work) - however at the first prompt area my keyboard automatically began typing FFFFFFFF over and over again until the DOS command area was full, to which my iBook just sent me back into my op system/desktop.
    This leads me to think something is just up with my cap and f key, however still no change in the situation.
    7) going to the Apple store tomorrow.....
    So has anyone encountered this? Is this something I can fix for free? My APP has expired by just 2 months and I am hoping I can avoid forking out money for this.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Well, sorry about the delay in reading or replying to your post about this
    keyboard issue; if you had an external standard Apple USB keyboard
    (the white kind) on hand, that would've been good to see if the issue
    was possibly just the computer's built-in keyboard. That also would've
    given you the opportunity to choose keyboard commands to try and
    work around that issue, if (by chance) the iBook's keyboard wasn't bad.
    Single-user mode, or terminal/console, can give you access to the
    system behind the graphic user interface of the OS X; or BSD unix.
    That may look like DOS, but it isn't anyone's quick n dirty OS...!
    Hopefully you were able to resolve the issue in a satisfactory manner
    after traveling to the Store. What were they able to say or do about it?
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • *NEED HELP WITH MAGSAFE ISSUES*

         So a few weeks back, i spilled soup on my computer (broke my keyboard), i bought and replaced the keyboard myself. In the process i also broke the cable that goes to the motherboard, and to the little board that has the magsafe connector as well as the microphone. I bought a new cable for that and replaced it.
    All was working pretty well, except now when i plug my magsafe into my mba, it will charge the computer for a few minutes 0-3 mins to be exact, then will just stop working completely, the light will turn off, and the computer runs off of battery. however if i unplug the magsafe from the wall outlet and plug it back into the wall, it will charge the computer for another few minutes then stop charging..., its just a long endless cycle... Another odd thing, if i put the computer to sleep, shutdown, it will charge the computer fully... but if i have the computer on, and running a few programs, it shuts off... I did repair the computer by myself, and could have made an error in the process... the computer is a macbook air, mid-2012.
    -things i have done.
    I have made sure that the motherboard is clean,
    i have cleaned the magsafe and the area where you connect it
    i used my sisters magsafe (Brand new magsafe)
        The last issue is, i live way to far from the apple store, and cant afford to go their right no
