Spinning process indicator never stops

So, I just purchased an iPhone 5C on a Verizon plan. All seems to be set up and working, but I notice that whenever I turn wake the phone, on the main screen beside the WiFi indicator there's what I assume is a spinning process indicator that never stops no matter how long the phone's on. If I return to the main screen from doing anything else, that processor (much like the WiFi "Looking for Networks" process on a Mac) continues to run. Is there a way to keep WiFi but shut this process off?

Hey there Gregory Frost,
It sounds like your Wi-Fi indicator is constantly spinning as long as the phone is on. I would use the following troubleshooting from this article to help troubleshoot the Wi-Fi connetion on the phone:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

  • Swirling circle (Firefox activity indicator) never stops spinning in Yahoo Mail

    Swirling circle next to cursor always spinning. Occurs after clicking on any folder while in Yahoo Mail Classic. New computer with Windows 7.

    Hello Chett.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    Also, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
    How many accounts do you have and what type are they (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
    Do you have any Mail plug-ins installed? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
    /Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/Mail/Bundles/
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • I have owned my MacBook Pro for several months.  Initially, I did not have any problems.  Now I have a problem with Yahoo Mail.  I can open my account, but when I try to get at my mail, 2 out of 3 times I get the spinning ball that never stops.  Now what?

    I have owned my MacBook Pro for several months without having any problems with it. Recently I am having trouble with my Yahoo Mail.  I can open it fine, but 2 out of 3 times when I try to actually open a message, the spinning ball comes on the screen and does not stop. Sometimes, I can log out or force quit and come back in to my account and use it.  Other times, I run into the same problem.  Any suggestions?

    No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
    But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
    Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
    By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
    That would depend on what you are trying to do.

  • Installed latest muse update, now shows creative cloud window with spinning wheel that never stops. My muse is gone.

    can't figure out how to contact Adobe about this. I'm paying for Muse and can't use it.@

    Mike you can find the relevant portion of the document below:

  • Processing in Aperture never stops

    I was importing images into Aperture last weekend when the spinning beachball appeared and I had no option but to Force Quit. Now every time I try relaunching Aperture, it indicates it is processing but never stops. I've tried canceling in the Activity screen but even though it says it's canceling the processing, it never stops.
    This may have created a second issue as well. Whenever I select a project, I can see the images in browser view, but if I try changing to Split View or Viewer mode, I always get the spinning beachball.
    Any ideas?

  • Verity vspider.exe process never stops and sucks system resources

    I'm running a scheduled task to index a site on a Win2k3 server running CF8. I'm having a problem where the vspider.exe process never stops and sucks up system resources, slowing my whole server down. It actually is doing quite a bit of work... I'm directing the output into a log file, and I'm getting 300 K of information and it seems to be walking the site just fine. But it ends up not finishing the job and running forever. I have to open the task manager to terminate the process and then the server runs better.
    Any ideas?

    I have not found an answer to this problem, though it hasn't been a problem lately. I now send the output of the vspider.exe process to a log file and can check the status of the index job. I index nightly, so if the process is running at anytime, I can look at the results of the index job in my log file. This might give some clues. I have a feeling I had a corrupt index and vspider was choking. Try rebuilding your index from scratch.

  • Hard disk never stops spinning

    When I connect my iPod to my Macbook the hard disk never stops spinning. When I connect it to my PC spinning stops after sync with iTunes and just turn on when I access the iPod.
    Does anybody know how to turn that off?
    Or is Spotlight scaning the data on the disk?

    Even it is doing the scaning, it could have been completed and stop. Have you tried to do the Restore for your iPod?

  • Spinning Cog Never Stops Under Mailbox

    Ever since upgrading (now 10.6.1), the progress status spinning cog never stops next to my mailbox. I can send and receive mail without any problems. How can I stop this?

    It went away after I quit and restarted the program. I think it had to do the the new indexing for Spotlight, since I just installed Snow Leopard.
    Thanks.

    I have this _same_ issue, exactly.  Initial backup goes just fine, but incremental backups fail.  And like you, I replaced the internal drive.
    The failures didn't start occuring long after the original drive was replaced--which was about 1 year ago.  The new drive was non-Apple and worked fine--and tests fine now as well when outside the TC.  But suddenly incremental backups started failing when the TC firmware and utility app were updated about 2-3 months ago.  I even swapped the internal non-Apple drive for another known-working non-Apple drive, and same results.
    I strongly suspect Apple added something to the firmware to check if it's an Apple or non-Apple drive in the TC and, if the latter, maybe causes incremental backups to fail.  This is only speculation and, obviously, the initial backup still works, so any checksum like this would have to be only during the incremental backup process.
    I'll be checking into this thred to see if others have the same issue, or if a solution is found.  Hopefully my hypothesis is just para-apple-noia and it's some small, easy-to-fix issue.
