Ridiculous delay for connection of phone for elder...
My widowed mother (in her seventies) is moving into a new build flat on Thursday of this week and despite the fact that the telephone wiring is in place within the building and others in the building are already connected, BT are saying that they cannot connect her until the 16th March 2011. What can I do to escalate this and get some action ? I would appreciate any tips.
Irene
Sounds about right for connection and I doubt if you get anyimprovement
If any post helps tick the star box on the left
Just cause Im paranoid dont mean they are not out to get me

I am using iphone 3gs since last 4 days. Till yesterday night it was working fine and i have connected this phone for charging . Morning there was apple logo in the screen and every 1mte (approx) it is blinking. I could not restart the phone.Plz help . I have tried to reset even by pressing sleep and home button but it could not help. Please suggest. Still i have connected for charging .
Sounds like you have corrupt backup data, if this occurs from one phone to another. Try restoring the phone as a new device, without a backup. Try using for a day before installing any other apps, etc. See if that improves the battery life. Then try syncing back applications a couple at a time. Something seems to be locking in the processor which is draining the battery.
Do you live in an area where there are Apple Stores? If so, try making an appointment with the Genius Bar to have the device checked out. -
I was on my IPhone today and it randomly froze up. The in requested a factory reset. I back up my phone all the time but now that I go to ITUNES its indicating my phone can not be located and I have lost everything! What can I do to retreive this information back. Mainly my contacts (very important information in there).
PLEASE HELP!If the information wasn't backed up (as it should have been) then there's no way to recover it. When a phone is in recovery mode like yours is, all data are gone.

Delay in connecting incoming phone calls
I have the same issue - Please can someone from Xfinity reply on this issue.
A bit of info on this ... we've been having the same problem for a while (several weeks) -- when we answered the phone, there'd be a longish (~10 sec.) delay before the caller can hear us. So, if we just picked up the phone and said "hello," the caller didn't hear it and then we'd both sit there, waiting for the other one to respond. Good news for us: Finally called Comcast Tech Support. They just did their standard modem re-set, and that fixed it! I felt a little stupid, because I know the first thing to do with anything that's electronic and gets wonky is to re-boot. (OK, really, maybe they did something else at the same time that the tech didn't mention. But she only told me about the modem re-set.) btw There are other threads on this issue, athttp://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Voice-Service-and-Equipment/Delay-in-phone-dialing/m-p/2518859/highlight/false#M26047http://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Voice-Service-and-Equipment/Delay-after-answering-a-ring/td-p/1815803 We live in the SF Bay Area.

Multiple selections for 'use my phone for calls' Jabber 9.2.4
Could someone look into this?
We have some users that are experiencing the following what shown in the screenshot.
Only the above option works and somehow the second selection (Mark Hattink) has no purpose.
I just can't figure out what's happening.
It's not happening to everyone who uses Jabber 9.2.4.
Note:
CUCM - 9.1.1.20000-5
Jabber for Windows 9.2.4
Only Cisco 8945 - dc-vel-8945-172 option works.. And the Cisco 8945 - Mark Hattink does not.
This is all on Windows 7.
Who knows this issue and can help me out.
Is this a configuring issue?
Before when we used CUCM 8.5.14900 there were no issues known from users.Hi,
I'm experiencing the same issue on our CUCM 9.1.2.10000-28 & CUP&IM 9.1.1.30000-3: I have a Jabber for Windows client v9.7 that should only show 1 hardware phone, but it shows 2 entries. I checked the above and still we have 2 entries (also after clearing the Jabber cache). Also I tried another Jabber for Windows version (v9.6), but it always pulls 2 hardware phones in it's config.
Have you managed to get this solved? We use Cisco 8945 phones where end users log on via Extension Mobility. I noticed in Dependancy Records that we have an entrie in Extension Mobility Dyncamic, which shouldn't be the case because no end user is logged on, but it shows it in Dependancy Records... A bug?? And when the end user logs on an IP Phone, then we have twice Extension Mobility Dynamic entries... Not good since only 1 device is in use via Extension Mobility (multiple logins are disabled via parameter).

3 MONTHS DELAY FOR CONNECTING TO A NEW BUILD PROPE...
Hi all,
This is my first post here, not intended to be a rant, but would like to share my anger and frustration I had with BT Openreach. This is a very long story.
To begin, I am not an average user, I understand about BT Wholesale, ISP, service provider, Line provisioning team, Line Plant Team etc... Yet, everytime I called BT customer, I was treated as if I was an idiot but in fact, the "advisors" were actually those did not know whats going on!
Anyway, I think it was rather unfortunate that no matter which ISP we go for, the actual connection must be done by Openreach. This means, if Openreach decides not to work for you, then you'll be stuck... forever. well, satellite broadband or 3G,4G are still viable if you have the wallet.
So my situation began 3 months ago when I moved into my new built apartment in London. I quickly signed up to BT internet and phone because this was just a daily necessity. Typically, there is a 14days lead time for the engineers to attend your case, which is reasonable... and so I waited for it. The "big" day came which I took holiday from work to wait, and after numerous emails and txt to tell me to wait at home for the engineer, and guess what happened? No show from BT.
I phoned the customer care in India the next day, waited for 30mins on my mobile (had not discover WeQ4U yet that time), someone picked up and said that the engineer would come again the following monday, although no explanation was given why no show the first time. So, I waited and wasted another day of my 25days annual leave, NO SHOW AGAIN!
This time, I was given an explanation that there was a problem at the switch, so additional works was required. Which also meant that an even longer delay would result. I wasn't happy with BT and their so-called customer care’s attitude and so decided to cancel my order and go with a service provider that I used for the last 7 years.
So... I went to signup phone and internet package with them, as this company was truly UK BASED, I received update almost instantly. So on the day I paid for the connection, it immediately showed up as delay status from Openreach. I phone them up to find out, and they were told by Openreach that there was a substantial problem occurred at the exchange, - this seemed to match with what BT told me, so fair enough, I waited for a week as Openreach said they would update my ISP in a week time.
A week had gone, as expected, no update whatsoever. I contacted my service provider to find out, then they were told by Openreach that they were working on it and advised a "significant update" would be issued 3 WEEKS LATER! (This was probably the 5th week since I signed up to BT broadband). Openreach also advised my provider not to contact them during this time because there would not be any updates.
Ok, so I waited for three more weeks (8th week). I called my service provider to check the progress, which they raised the question to BT Wholesale team and then the team spoke to BT Openreach, the answer I got was they had not completed the works… that was it! They advised me to wait for another THREE weeks for an UPDATE. WTF, bear in mind the property was not in the middle of nowhere, it was in LONDON! waiting for 6 weeks just to receive an update? and yet they did not mention about when the works would be completed, or whether it had even started?
After a good conversation with my service provider, they had escalated the case for me. After a week of escalation, no reply from Openreach so my provider escalated again to get to their manager, now this time the manager came back and said the works were completed! So.. did that mean I could get my phone line to work? No.
Today is probably the 10th week I waited, and so far, no official word from Openreach on when they will actually connect my phone.
This is ridiculous because I am living in a new built apartment, my ISP also searched that there are 3 pairs of spare lines to the apartment block – which is referred as Gold status. At one point, Openreach said that there was a lack of supply to my development, hence causing the delay. And yet I am receiving more and more WIFI connections from my neighbours everyday, so how can this be true?
I contacted my property developer, they said they had provided all necessary infrastructure, not being able to connect phone would be BT’s problem.
I contacted Ofcom, and they said there was NO WAY to complaint about Openreach because none of us are actually in contract with them. The only way to complaint would be through my ISP. Well, in a way this was true, but shouldn’t there be warranty from Openreach to the end users? Any visiting Openreach website was more of a time waster because they do not contain any useful information about contacting them or making a complaint.
My ISP contacted BT wholesale and Openreach, the reply from them was almost a box standard reason for delay. I felt that this problem was out of their control because there wasn’t much they could do if BT Wholesale or openreach were not co-operating.
So… what should I do now? Wait? Change supplier? Or just give up and use satellite broadband? Given that no satellite dishes are allowed in apartment balconies. 3G? 4G?
adrianHi atsang,
Unfortunately you will need to contact and negotiate with your Communication Provider as BT Retail (an ISP who operates this forum) can't help you as you're not a BT Retail Customer.
Openreach (a BTplc Group Company) own, maintain and install the exchanges and telecommunication lines for the majority of ISPs and Communication Provider. However Openreach is a seperate line of business to the rest of the BTplc Group and have to treat all ISPs/CPs equally and BT Retail do not get any priority.
Openreach do not talk to end users like you and I, they will only talk to the ISPs/CPs.
I'm afraid you will need to take this up with your Communication Provider.
This is a BT Retail Customer to Customer help forum. The only BT presence are the moderators.
Hope that helps and you get it sorted soon,
Cheers

Jabber for iPhone & iPad too long to connect to "Phone Services"
Hello,
Has anybody ever experienced delay issues with Jabber for iPhone and/or iPad to connect to "Phone Services"?
In my case, the service does connect but it can take about 1 minute. Some times it can be faster but some others it can take a while to make the service available.
Regards,You've hit the nail on the head with your last sentence, though to me a month (and then another) to wait for a new line is nothing - I am on my fifth order with BT. They lost the first three, then tried charging me an arm and a leg in excess charges for the fourth. I am trying again, this time with a total package to see if they are a bit more useful when they actually know I'm not going to switch to another provider - fingers crossed.
If they do come back with massive excess charges again though this time I've done my homework. I now know the measurements between my property and the pole as well as the BT price list they use to calculate the charges. I've also worked out a cheaper route than the one they were suggesting - Ofcom say they should offer the cheapest route and the opportunity for the customer to do some of their own work but with me they didn't do either. They also didn't consider that we don't have reliable mobile signal here. They also didn't provide me with any details of how they'd come to that figure and just demanded it. I've had lots of advice from DEFRA, the Department for Business, Innopvation and Skills, Ofcom and ex-Openreach planners and should be able to get a line under the USO. I have a horrible feeling that I've done all this homework now though and they'll just come out and do it without demanding the excess, but if they do I am at least ready this time. -
How to connect my phone to macbook air for the call feature ?
Hi, my macbook air, 2014 just upgraded to OS X Yosemite. My iPhone is the 5 version, iOS 8.02. I don't know how to connect my phone to the mac for the call feature. What should I do first?
Thanks very much!Check these settings:
On the phone:
On your Mac (FaceTime Preferences):

when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problemIf it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem. -
My iphone 4 doesn´t connect through Wi-Fi, Apple replaced my phone for a new one, but the new one has the same problem. I have an ipod third generation and it doesn´t have this problem. Having compared both working at the same time, the iphone alsways lags behind or doesn´t even connect to the internet via Wi-Fi. Does any one know what to do?? Thanks
Have you ever checked to see if there is an update for your router? If yes, then power off router. Then on iPhone go into settings and do a reset network settings. Power router back on, and try connecting phone to router.

What are the settings in i phone 4s for connecting internet in mobile data ?
what are the settings in i phone 4s for connecting internet in mobile data ?
Did you ever get a reply to this. I have the same problem. I have the same problem when even when I reply to an email... no photo shows up in my new reply message. The only way I have figured out is to use the "forward" option.
But this still does not solve the problem when people email me back... I have no idea what photo they are speaking of. Instead of a photo... there is a <photo name of some sort>.
Let me know if you ever hear on this one.
Many thanks. -
I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?
You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly. -
I got my iPhone 4 unlocked from AT&T but whenever i try to connect my phone to iTunes for restoring, iTunes say me "there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate."
sorry. you cannot discuss and find solution about the jailbroken phones in this forum.

Bell's next step was for me to connect to iTunes. I downloaded iTunes and can't figure out how to proceed from there. The basic info in the Apple site for "unlocking" only addresses a SIM card that doesn't work. My SIM card is correct. How do I go on from here? Thanks,
Bell should have given you instructions, but in case they did not here is what you do:
Put a Bell SIM in the phone. It does not have to be a currently active SIM, but it must have worked on Bell at some time in the past.
Connect the phone to your computer with the USB cable.
It should appear in iTunes. Click on its name.
Click the Backup button.
Click the Restore iPhone button. When prompted to restore the backup choose that option.
The phone will reload iOS. If your current iOS version is not 7.0.4 it will update to this first. If that happens when the update finishes click Restore iPhone again.
If the process succeeds you should see the message: "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked". If you don't get this message wait a couple of days and repeat the whole process again.
Note: to unlock the phone you do not have to Restore as New. Restoring and reloading the backup will work also.
