Strange message on iPhone screen -  what is it?

I have a message pop up on my iPhone screen that I cannot get to go away. I have turned off notifications, restarted the phone, updated it to the latest version, etc., and it still won't go away. Any solid ideas on how to fix?
*The messages says:*
+This accessory is not made to work with iPhone+
+Would you like to turn on Airplane Mode to reduce audio interference?+
+You will not be able to make or receive phone calls.+
+Yes? or No?+

It's one of two things, a true hardware problem, in which case you'll have to call applecare or take it to an apple store or debris stuck in the dock connector. Try attaching/un-attaching the dock cable several times to see if you can dislodge any debris that might be there.
Again, it doesn't take much to create a short.

  • I cannot receive phone calls or messages when iPhone screen is locked

    Hello,
    i have an iPhone 5.
    i Am unable to receive phone calls or text messages when my screen is locked. When I unlock the screen the missed call doesn't even appear so I have no idea anyone has called me. Text messages come through at about 12:30am every night.
    i Have tried EVERYTHING I could find in forums and Apple trouble shooting. This is my last resort other than sending it to Apple.
    iit is as if "do not disturb" is stuck on, but it isn't.
    i Have tried:
    changing all all do not disturb settings.
    checked call forwarding etc.
    checked mute
    my silent button is not on.
    i have reset every setting and then even reset the phone and manually transferred everything back onto it rather than restore It from previous back ups.
    oout it in recovery mode.
    i Have no success with any.
    the weird part is when I first lock the screen and try to call it, it does ring. But if I give it a minute or more it won't ring.
    does anyone have any ideas or anything that may help?
    PLease, please, please

    I Have also checked blocked numbers and swapped SIM cards from a completely different carrier so it's not the carrier either

  • Strange messages on unlock screen

    Has anyone else noticed messages appearing in place of the date on the unlock screen? I posted an image here: http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/4832/liketheweatherhg4.jpg
    Is this a hack or a feature that I'm not aware of?

    I find it interesting how many people don't know their music. I've had that happen with me and immediately recognized it as one of my songs. While I did wonder for a moment how it got there, I didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary.

  • Dust under Iphone Screen what do I do?

    I currently have a 18gb i phone 3gs and well there is dust particles under the screen and they are not well... making the phone obsolete but they are really annoying and driving me insane I do have a warranty on the phone cause I sent it back like 3 months ago but I was wondering what can be done about this... thanks for the help guys and gals!
    By the way im like 300 miles from a apple store

    they told me was to take it to a Apple Store so they can blow it out with compressed air
    Huh? The screen and digitizer are glued together at the factory. There is absolutely no way an Apple store could do this even if they wanted to. The will replace your phone if determined to be defective.

  • Strange message on iPhone while syncing.  Please Help.

    I've been working through a posting tonight and am in the process of doing my first sync on iTunes for Music and Apps. I am using MobileMe to sync my contacts and calendar.
    All is progressing...I'm now about 25% through the sync of my 4GB of music...but the screen of the iPhone says: "Synkronisering i gang" on top and 'annuller' on the slide.
    I'm a bit nervous that I did something wrong. Did I miss indicating 'English' on a screen? Am I going to have to restore the iPhone.
    Please help and thanks.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    iChat should store that password as asked.
    However go to Applications/Utilities and open Keychain Access
    In there, check your @mac.com items lists a Password (you have to tick the box and it will ask for the Admin password).
    Also try a Keychain First Aid (Keychain Menu > Keychain First Aid)

  • Strange message when texting..what am i doing wrong?

    I tried to text to multiple people at one time and i got a strange text back saying "Air2Web: I'm sorry your request was not recognized. Please respond with a valid shortcode and keyword combination. For more info, visit http://www.air2web.com"
    i dont get it when i send to a single person.

    Thanks so much.  This definitely worked.  I'm sorry I did  not think of using IE.  I use Foxfire exclusively so seldom even think of IE as an alternative.

  • IMac - strange message

    I have an iMac DV G3 with OS9 and OSX 10.0 was working fine until the other day - it had question mark flashing I started it with software install disc OS9 and didn't realize my daughter had borrowed OSX from school to work on the school newspaper. I bought OSX from the internet and after backing up my photos to a flashdrive last night, installed the OSX 10.0 it said installation was successful then I got this strange message on the screen it starts with "panic(cpu0): unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerMac2,1" bunch of other stuff then ends with panic: We are hanging here...
    Can someone please help me with this. Thanks much.

    Hi Kenichi & Marie,
    It strikes me that a good option at this point, given the OS issues and kernel panics at start-up, may be to beg or borrow another Firewire equipped Mac if possible, to boot the iMac CRT into Target Disc Mode, and to copy across the data from the iMacs HD to a folder on the other computer.
    THis might save a lot of time if the kernel panic is actually occurring because of a hardware problem of some kind. Once you had done so you could go on to steps like erasing the HD etc much more safely.
    That way the data would be "safe" and people could then try and sort out the other problems with less concern about losing things that matter.
    Marie, just about any Mac from the time of the iMac G3 onwards would be able to do this, as long as it has enough free HD space to cope with your data. Know anyone with an iBook or a MacBook or such who would be prepared to help you with such a thing? Is there a local Apple user group, or perhaps a school, who could perhaps help out in this fashion?
    Cheers
    Rod

  • When I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    when I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • My iphone 4 has an error message on the screen that reads "iphone disabled connect to itunes" what do i do

    My iPhone 4 has an error message on the screen that reads "iiPhone disabled connect to iTunes" I've tried connecting and can't get anywhere what do I do and what is the problem?

    Your phone is disabled for some reason. Maybe you entered the wrong Passcode too many times. In any case you need to do just as the phone is instructing you to do. Start the latest version of atones on your computer and connect your phone. iTunes should guide you through the process of getting your phone working again. Here's a link to an Apple support page on this:

    Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off.  Still nothing appeared on the screen.  I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black.  However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed.  In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on. 
    What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

    just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
    gud luck

    While upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.2 something went wrong and came up with the message "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred  [1015]." Now it will not start at all. It just stays on screen with USB and the iTune picture. What can I do to get it going again. I only tried to upgrade because I was prompted to up-grade and now I am helpless. I did a backup before starting the upgrade. The error message did not tell what to do next.  Any help is very much appreciated.

    Usually that means the iPhone was hacked to unlock it from the original
    carrier .
    Updating the operating system locks it back to that original carrier
    You could try this

    However if the iPhone was hacked it is probably a paper weight  now
    and as this is an Apple hosted forum  you can get no further help here
