Shouldn't push work even when your phone is locked and "sleeping"?

I thought that was the whole point to get an instant notification?
It seems to me like i get a bunch of email notifications a few seconds after I unlock it but otherwise it sits there and does nothing...
This is over wifi right now I don't have a data plan.

I'm having the exact same issue with my 16gb 3Gs.
Push emails will arrive at seemingly random times (sometimes not at all) when the screen is locked.
If I unlock the screen and wait 2-3 seconds e-mail will arrive.
I do have a data plan (Well I'm supposed to) with Vodafone in the UK. Is this a fault with the iphone or is there something else that is causing this ?
Thanks in adavnce.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

When my phone is locked, and I get a text message, it isn't making any sounds. When the phone is in use and I get a text, it makes the alert sound.

When I get a text while the phone is locked it doesn't make the designated alert sound, but it does if the phone is unlocked and in use.

I think you have the 'do not disturb' function enabled. If there is a moon icon in the top right of the home screen that will be the problem. Go to settings, do not disturb, and make sure manual slider is off. I had the same problem and took me a day to figure out.
Good luck

Why will Siri make phone calls for you even though your phone is locked?

I just discovered that, from my locked screen, Siri will gladly make phone calls for me... How can I change this?

Disable Siri from the locked screen. You probably have a passcode set up. Under settings>general>passcode you should be able to turn siri off on the locked screen

I'm sorry to hear about your problems, but I believe that you will have to try to reinstall the phone software because I don't think that these kind of problems are hardware related.
You can reinstall the phone software using the Update Service program which you can download from our website.

Why after the new 5.1 update when the iPhone locks and sleeps the wifi goes what appears to be off and it 3G comes on?

After the new update 5.1 whenever the iPhone locks and sleeps it changes from wifi to 3G. Before the update whenever even in the lock screen the wifi bars were strong and seemed as if it's working even when the phones asleep. Now with the new 5.1 update in lock screen after the phones been asleep for a minute or two it shows 3G then like after 5 seconds or so the wifi comes on.

For some reason, today whenever I wake my phone from sleep the wifi seems to be running. A few days ago when I first posted the 3G would be on then a few seconds later it would change to wifi. Does this mean it's transferring data in my pocket all morning so far?

HT6162 My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download & Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?

Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

My 4s continues to lose wi-fi and reverts to 3G even when the phone is 4 ft from the router.

My 4s continues to lose wi-fi and reverts to 3G even when the phone is 4 ft from the router. Is this a defect in my phone? It happens when I am home and I switch to my wi-fi. It doesn't matter where the phone is in relation to the router. Please note, I have my phone set to NOT sleep. Does any one know why my phone reverts to 3G? I have to manually set it to wi-fi every time this happens.

I have the same issue with my iPhone 4s. It was not an issue when I was using iOS5, but it started once I upgraded to iOS6 and the recent update of iOS6.0.1 did not fix it. Judging from the release notes, Apple thinks this is only an iPhone 5 issue, as they say they fixed it for iPhone 5's.
I have an iPad 2 (iOS6.0.1) and a 3rd generation iPod touch (latest iOS5 release), as well as an Apple TV 2. None of the other devices have this problem and they are all on the same network.
Something interesting... my iPhone 4s works fine on the wifi where I work. At home, it continually turns on and off. My home network is using a Netgear router (WNDR3400) and the iPhone is connecting to it using WPA2+PSK protocol. Hopefully, this information can help Apple figure out the problem.
(I remember my iPod Touch having a similar issue a few years ago with iOS 4, when I had a different Netgear router using the same security protocol. I think iOS 5 fixed it for the iPod Touch... I wonder if some Apple products have an issue with Netgear Routers using that encryption.)

I have turned off Siri's access when my phone is locked, but it isn't working!!

I have followed the instructions for turning off Siri when the phone is locked, but it isn't working. I even rebooted...and you can still get Siri to engage! Any ideas??

I'm having the same problem after I moved my iPhoto Library over to an external harddrive (and then tried to access it on separate occasions from different machines). I also found that my iPhoto had "locked" these directories somehow, and I checked the "Get Info" details: sure enough, one of the things that should have said "Read and Write", didn't.
But when I tried to change those permissions (including the "Apply to enclosed items"), it gave me this error:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
Seems that I can't give more permissions because I don't have enough permissions to do that! Do I have to move the owners to "System" from my own account "b" or what?
(My poor "photos to be iphoto'd" directory is filling up quickly while waiting for iPhoto to be fixed.) Thanks!

My iphone 4s got water in the headphone port. I put my phone in rice for 24 hours and the LED light is on. It stays on even when the phone is off. How can I fix it with out spending 200 bucks at apple to have them fix it?

Short answer is you probably cannot. Once water gets inside the device and it is powered on, the damage likely is permanant.

HT201412 what do you do when your phone numbers no longer have the contact persons name just a number. Also names are missing from the address book where contacts are.

I, too, love everything about my phone. The other day I tried to crash my Z10 by running multiple apps and having videos running in the background. Do you think my Z10 showed any signs of slowing down? Nothing doing! It ran as smooth as silk. I'm very impressed.
Cheers.

Screen goes dim when processor working - even when plugged to mains power.

Whether I'm running 3D software or just surfing the net, the screen keeping fading/dimming and then recovering over a few seconds. No USB devices connected, mains power on - NOT IMPRESSED!
Any ideas - a hardware problem? Back to Mac?

If you go to System Preferences > Energy Saver, the is a checkbox under the "options" tab that says, "Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep." On my new MBP (10.5.1), this was "on" by default. Try unchecking it and see if it helps.

I was in the middle of using my iPhone 4 running on the latest iOS before iOS 6 and the screen went black but you can see it is still on because the color of the screen is blueish blackish like when your phone is turning off. Any suggestions?

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

Shouldn't push work even when your phone is locked and "sleeping"?
