Some issues that I'm having with the iPhone 3G

Just bought a 3G iPhone and there are two issues that I am having with it that I was wondering if someone could help me with.
First, when I am listening to music with the apple headphones and I turn the volume to zero, I can still hear the music. It's really quiet, but it's there. Is this normal?
Secondly, there appears to be a red smudge on the phone's screen, below the glass. Do you think Apple would let me get a replacement phone? It's hard to see unless you are in the sun, then it's visible.
Thanks!

  • I want speakers that do not buzz with the iPhone near them.

    Has anyone found any good speakers for their computer system that do not buzz when their iPhone (or any other GSM phone) is around them?
    I have some old Altec Lansing speakers on my computer and my wife's computer and they go crazy whenever she or I are on one of our phones and anywhere near the computers.
    Anyone have any good suggestions for a new pair of speakers?
    Thanks

    It might not be the speakers that are the problem. I think that the wire that goes from the computer to the speaker also contributes.
    As an example, I have a headset for my work phone. It has a long cable from the phone to the headset. When my iPhone is near the cable and I'm on the phone, I hear the interference. If I move the phone away, the interference goes away. It has more to do with the position of the iPhone relative to the cable than to the speaker on my ear.
    Another example is when I've used a wireless microphone when speaking to an audience. If my phone is in my pocket and I'm speaking, the proximity of the phone to the wire connecting the microphone to the transmitter causes the interference. I simply have to move the phone away from the wire.
    Effectively, I think the wires/cables that connect speakers to the computer are acting as an antenna that is picking up the interference. So you might get the best shielded speakers, but you also have to do something about the wire as well. This might explain why when you went to the computer store, there wasn't much of a problem, because the wires connecting computers to the different speakers may have been short.

  • 2 issues that i'm facing with my iphone 5

    My recently bought iPhone 5 makes a rattling sound when i shake it. is that normal? and my lock button feels abit wierd. like the button is sunk in at times. not sure whether it's just me being paranoid but would be great if i could get some advice on this.

    Take it in to the Apple store or authorized service provider. It is still under warranty.

  • I just inherited an iphone 3gs from my dad.  I want to get my music off my ipod and onto my iphone, but now that it is synced with the iphone itunes wants to strip all the info off my ipod.  Is there a way to get my music that is on my ipod onto itunes?

    If I try to sync my iPod with iTunes on my laptop, it won't let me - it says it is going to remove all the music on my ipod first!!!  I just want it moved from my iPod to my (new to me) iPhone!

    Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you need to use a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • What is the best blue tooth headset to use with the iPhone 4S

    I need to have a reliable blue tooth headset for my new iPhone 4S. Any recommendations?

    I have the same question but with a clarification.  I owned a BB until recently and have the BOSE blue tooth headset.  The sound quality was fantastic with the BB but it seems to be significantly less so with the iPhone 4S.  I have heard, though not verified, that there is a difference in quality between phones so if it's indeed true, are there blue tooth headsets that specifically work well with the iPhone?

    Can you please try it in a new (temporary) Firefox profile and see if the issue is still present? See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles this article] to know how to create a new Firefox profile. Please report back the results.

  • SCCM issue - "LANG_LIST has some locales which does not match with the locale of serial number"

    I have a problem with the error "LANG_LIST has some locales which does not match with the locale of serial number" recurring.
    I am trying to install Acrobat XI Std silently by SCCM.
    I've used the Adobe Customisation Wizard to create a mst which include the volume serial number we have with our licence purchases. Note that I am in Australia. I use the command line in SCCM for the install as "msiexec /i "AcroStan.msi" TRANSFORMS="D&B_AcroStd.mst" /qn" which fails silently. If I install on a local machine using an admin command prompt and changing to /qb at the end, I get the aforementioned error.
    I have a few things to try and resolve, having searched the adobe forums and other forums for the solution. The mst is only trying to install US English & I have even gone so far as to use the direct editor in the customisation wizard and change some values in the property table to resolve this. In the property table I can confirm that LANG_SEL_DEFAULT = ENU, REGIONAL_LIST = ENU, LANG_LIST = en_US, ProductLanguage = 1033
    Is there a way to check the language specified for ym serial number?

    Update on a couple of details:
    @Sabian,
    Thanks for the location, I've downloaded and then when I tried an install of the newly extracted msi (admittedly on the same computer) I got exactly the same issue. Of note though is that running /qf automatically brought up the same serial number and the same incorrectly spelled company name. Installing on another computer (freshly imaged) doesn't have those inputs already present under /qf. Next when I try using the transfrom (a new one) with /qr it gives an error of the serial number, displaying the entire serial.
    @Sebastian
    I've had a look through yours and it seems our issues could have the same origin. Looks like I may have to call customer support regarding the serial number as Sabian suggested in your thread.
    The bit that gets me is when the same serial number is used in a manual install (or /qf) then it installs ok without any errors.

    You should be able to read NTFS formatted drives, just not write to them. For that matter, USB Flash drives generally come formatted NTFS for use with PC's and they have to be able to mount on a Mac in order to reformat them for Mac use. The Windows utilities supplied on those Flash drives will be deleted when the drive is reformatted for Mac use so I routinely copy them to the Mac desktop first before reformatting.
    You might look into something like this http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/U3NVSPATA/ if the enclosure is an issue. It looks weird but it works.

  • Has anyone having an issue with the iphone 6 signal cell strength on Verizon?

    Is anyone having an issue with the iPhone 6 signal on Verizon?

    I'm having the same issue as most of you on this forum. my current OS is 4.3.5 and after a factory reset, the camera started working fine, however, once i done the restore the camera reverted back to the same issue - "the shutter on the screen wont open, and the still/video switch just flashes" - what is more strange is, i have the HP home&biz app installed and this has a camera function and the camera seems to work fine with that, therefore suggesting there is nothing wrong with the hardware and this is a software issue. I'm currently awaiting a member of the Apple support team to call me about this, will keep you posted. BTW - someone suggested, going into Location Services and switching off the camera and apparantly, the issue was resolved for them, unfortunatly, this didn't work for me extremly odd issue indeed!

    Hi there, I was sent here to try to troubleshoot the issues I am having with my Iphone 5. I purchased this phone in January 2013,
    I have had issues with battery life almost from the start. I can have the battery charged fully and send a two word text and have the battery life decrease by at least 5%. When I called apple support, I was on the phone for 12 minutes and the battery went down 10% in that time.
    The screen often freezes and won't let me scroll through the apps.
    The phone often times won't turn on either.
    I was directed to apple support online to try to remedy these issues and am having quite a bit of difficulty with the site, it's very frustrating.
    I was told that it was a hardware issue by the Bell store I purchased the phone from, but the apple support telephone operator said I had to go through the online trouble shooting steps first.
    Can someone walk me through this as I seem to keep getting booted out, cannot find the troubleshooting steps I was told about.
    Thanks, Bethanie.

    start by a reset
    then a Restore with back up and if required as new

  • I have never had the issues I am having with the latest update to Yosemite. Is there a fix/update for this?

    I have never had the issues I am having with the latest update to Yosemite. Is there a fix/update for this?

    For what? It works fine for me on three different computers. If you want a fix for something then be more specific.
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
