Searching icon home screen always working

on my iPhone 6, when i am on the icon screen, next to the wifi identifier i see a little circle that rotates.  Generally it means that it is searching for something.  It never stops.  The minute i go into a program or lock the phone, it goes away.  I reset the network settings and that seemed to do the trick, but 2 days later it started up again.  I am not sure what it is looking for.  I went so far as to completely turn off location services and background app refresh (at the same time) yet it still does it.
I do notice that the phone drains battery a lot more than my old iPhone 4 no OS6 did. I also notice that cell reception is not as good as my iPhone 4.  At my desk i used to get 3 bars, now i get 1 or 2 if i am lucky.  Places in my office where i used to be able to get calls, now do not work at all.  I am not sure if it is the phone or my carrier.
Any ideas?

    Just found this on Crackberry.com and it finall worked for me...
    "I also have the same problem as you. I can't find any solution to fix this. But today, when I try to add bookmark to home screen again, there should be a pop dialog "Added to home Screen". When it pop up, just immediately tap that pop up dialog. And the my home screen can show the bookmark. After that, I do not need to do this again. Seems it is fixed. I think th is really unreasonable. But it really works for me. Please let me know if this work on others of you."

  • Safari/Mail icon home screen reset moving issue

    I ran into an interesting issue earlier today when I was resetting the home screen layout of my iphone 4S. I attempted to move the safari and mail app icons out of the bottom tray (while the icons were "wiggling") and for some reason they would not come out. I hit the home button to stop the icon wiggling and attempted to move them again. No go. The phone and message icons moved out without an issue, but safari and mail would not.
    I shut the iphone off and turned it back on and re-attempted it. This time it worked.
    How come I am unable to take and move those two icons off that bottom bar right after doing a home screen reset? Anyone else experiencing this issue?

    I Have the same problem on my new iPad Air.

  • Maximum number of saved searches on home screen

    Does any one know what the maximum number of saved searches that will render on the home screen is?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The Saved Search uses a Drop Down List Box.
    The Drop Down List Boxes are used to display small amount of data only.The amount of data determines the time taken to load the list. I am not sure of any setting to restrict this number.
    I would say,it is a feature for the user to select data quickly.F4 helps are used if Value Helps have large data to display.
    However table CRMD_SHORTCUT contains the entries that are displayed in the Saved Search.
    Regards,

  • N9 feeds on home screen stopped working

    Hi all... After almost two years with the amazing (???) n9, it stoped working properly. To be precise the feeds in home screen stoped workin. I cant get any new notification from facebook etc. Any ideas??? Is there anything to be done or I should just throw the phone away and buy a better one???? Any help appreciated.....Thanks in advance...

    it is possible that it is not the device so much as an update from those companies on their security profile requirements, which change from time to time.
    if that is the case, then hopefully the community would update the firmware as nokia has not supported that device for over a year now.
    go to talk.maemo.org and look around there.
    if it is a security update, you will not be the only one there that is talking about it, so there should be something there for you to find.
    hope that helps.

  • HOME screen icon problems

    On a web page everytime i click the + button to add it to home screen, it works but now all my icons for each one i bookmark are the same. They used to be snapshots of the webpage mostly or an official icon like google etc. Now its a set of weights for the icon which is annoying as now i ave about 7 with the same icon.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Here is the problem. If the web site does not have a custom made icon in the 'root' directory of their web server, the icon will look like the web page you are bookmarking.
    If you want to add an iPhone/iPod touch Home screen icon for your website, create a 57x57 pixel .png image file, name it "apple-touch-icon.png" and upload it to the 'root' directory of your server.
    Here is one I created for Macsimum News.
    Here is what it looks like on the screen. The iPhone/iPod touch automatically scales the round corners on the image.
    Have an iPhone or iPod touch? Enter Mac611.com in Safari on it for 'mobile Mac support.'

  • Safari goes back to home screen when opened using Safari icon

    I dropped my iphone Saturday, fortunately I had it in my Otterbox case which was in its holster. Thank God there was no physical damage to the phone. However, now I notice that every time I want to use Safari using the Safari icon on the home screen, it doesn't respond and kicks me back to the home screen after a few seconds. I reset the iphone first, deleted cookies, history and cache finally did a restore and still kicks me back to the home screen. If I click one of bookmarks I have on my home screen it works fine, it's unresponsive basically when it opens on a blank page. Any help will be deeply appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    The apps (mail and Safari) are crashing for some reason. I would start with this.
    Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar where all of your recent apps will appear. Hold down on the mail app icon until it wiggles - along with the rest of the icons - and then tap the minus sign in the corner of the icon to cloase the app. Close Safai the same way and continue to close all of the apps in the task bar. Tap the screen above the task bar to return to the home screen.
    Now restart your iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the  red slider bar appears and slide to shut off. To power up, hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and then let go of the button. Try Mail and Safari again to see if that helped.
    If that doesn't work - reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. After the iPad has started up, try the apps again.
    One last thing you may try for Safari is this ... Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Then restart the iPad like I explained above and try Safari again.

  • Can't add bookmarks - always sent to home screen.

    I am having an odd issue with Safari. No matter which bookmark button I hit, "Add to Home" or "Add Bookmark", the option to add an icon to the home screen always comes up. I cannot add a bookmark to my bookmark list. I am running 3.1.2 and have had this issue since 3.0.
    Does anyone know how to remedy this?

    1. Restart your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Reset your phone: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    3. Restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • I want to stream itunes movies I've bought on my ipad air to my lg smart tv.  From the 'Home' screen of the lg, there is no itunes app shown that would somehow let me share info with my ipad air.  Has anyone the answer.  Am I missing something here?

    I have an lg smart TV.  I also just bought an apple ipad air,Wi-Fi Cellular 16GM I've signed up the air to itunes and just purchased a movie on the ipad air.  I was able to stream the movie on my air and my pc, which is of course wirelessly connected to my smart TV.  I've searched the 'Home' screen of the lg to find a way to also stream that movie on the lg.  Am I somehow just not reading right and missing the point, or is what I'm trying to do not possible?

    I have raised this issue with apple support this week too after my Facetime and iMessage stopped working on Saturday.
    Been very interesting to read the ever increasing number of comments and issues being raised on this one (more than 500 views and dozens of replies so far).
    My post is here:
    imessage and Facetime sign in activation error iPad ios8.1.2
    What is especially interesting about your post is that you had your iPad Air replaced in November 2014 in the UK. I bought my iPad Air originally in October 2014, and had to have it replaced in an Apple Store in Bristol in November after the original stopped charging. This does make me wonder if there is a batch of faulty iPads? Mmm...
    I have raised a fully escalated support case with Apple on this, and their latest response is that a 'patch' or fix is being investigated by their engineers and to wait a week or so at which point they might be releasing it to affected users - or even across every users.
    I wish there was a way to get this to Apple's attention and the wider media as well, but I don't know how best to do that.
    I guess the best thing we can do is keep hassling Apple for a response and raising support cases

  • I want my home screen to be app-free. Possible?

    I realize that in many ways I'm not exactly normal and maybe I should seek professional help. And that might be why I prefer to have my home screen devoid of apps. An empty home screen has worked great for me until IOS 5. Now, if I sync or power-cycle my iPhone, the blank home screen is gone and the next screen has become my new home screen. Is there a way to keep the home screen empty as shown below? Does anybody else care?

    PapaPom, thank you for the affirmation. Like you, I want to think this isn't an unreasonable request. In the interim, I have reluctantly acquiesced to leaving a single icon on my home screen (as you suggest) until Apple is willing to accommodate those of us who prefer a totally blank home screen.
    And Apple, if you’re actually listening, I might suggest that you really wouldn’t need to radically redesign the algorithm that removes all blank screens. For example, you could simply add a ‘Blank Home Screen Default’ toggle option to Wallpaper settings. It’s not that complicated and would demonstrate your sensitivity to those of us who don’t fit into a traditionally well-defined box. It’s just a thought anyway.

  • My external monitor works but I can't get my screen to work on my power book anymore

    Can not get my screen on power book G4 to work but my external monitor works fine. Did I press something and turn it off?

    rm44 wrote:
    The both screens always worked fine but now the power book doesn't show anything on the screen.  I didn't drop it or even move it.  Where is the brightness button?  Could I have hit it by mistake?
    Thanks so much for your help.
    F2 is the up-brightness button, F1 is the down-brightness button, usually, on PowerBooks.  If for some reason the F1 button got held down for a couple of seconds, the display would go completely dark.
    That being said, if the backlight does not come up (easily determined by seeing if the Apple outline on the cover is lit up) then the most likely suspect would be the inverter board, or the connection to the inverter board.  If this is a Titanium PG G4, the inverter board is easy and relatively inexpensive to replace.  For the Aluminum models, I don't know if that is quite so true.

  • HT201322 iPod home button not working

    Hi my iPod touch 4 GEN home button is not working, I have tried everything it said to fix it like hold the top button to peer it off but then hold the home button for 10-15 sec until it goes back to the home screen which worked but right after that, when I go to a app, the home button will instantly stop working. What should I do? Get a the new iPod  5 or any ways to fix it.

    I'd take it back - especially if you bought it recently.  Most of the time they're REALLY NICE about taking care of the products.
    If they find that it's because of misuse though, you're on your own
