Their is a weird sign on my iphone

there is a phone sign with 7blocks under it and my earpiece dosent work

From iPhone manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
(also found as link in Safari on your iPhone)
that icon means TTY is activated:
TTY support
You can use the iPhone TTY Adapter cable (sold separately in many areas) to connect
iPhone to a TTY machine. Go to www.apple.com/store (may not be available in all areas)
or check with your local Apple retailer.
Connect iPhone to a TTY machine: Go to Settings > Phone and turn TTY on, and then
connect iPhone to your TTY machine using the iPhone TTY Adapter.
When TTY on iPhone is turned on, the TTY icon  appears in the status bar at the top
of the screen. For information about using a particular TTY machine, see the
documentation that came with the machine.
Go to Settings>Phone and turn TTY off to make the icon disappear.

  • Can someone explain purchasing, activating and signing up for iPhone.

    Hi, iPhone hits UK in November and I'd like to be prepared. Can someone explain to me how it's going to work. In the USA where do you buy the phone - the Apple store, and what do you do just walk in a buy the actual phone as if it were an iPod? And then how does activation work? What is it, just registering the iPhone with Apple or signing up with the network provider? What stops you from just buying the phone and putting another AT&T or O2 sim in and not signing up for one of the contracts?

    Presuming that it will look pretty much the same as it did for US customers, it will be something like this..
    You walk into your local Apple store and purchase an iPhone, or you can order one through the UK online Apple store (or, presumably, O2 will sell them in their local shops).
    You connect the iPhone to any computer which meets the minumum system requirements. It will recognize a new, unactivated iPhone and take you through the activation, which includes:
    1. Entering your name, address, and payment info
    2. Create an iTunes Music Store account if you do not already have one
    3. Select which type of call plan you want (how many call minutes, how many text messages, etc)
    4. Specifying whether you want a new number assigned or want to port your number from another provider (assuming this can be done in the UK)
    You will then wait while the activation is completed, which can take several minutes. Once your phone is activated you will be able to make calls, send text messages, and use all the other functions of the iPhone, including syncing your contacts, calendars, and music to it. If you are porting a number from another service, once the port is complete you will be able to receive calls. If you are being assigned a new phone number, you will be able to receive calls right away.

  • I can't sign into ny iPad but I can sign into my iPhone with same password

    I Can sign into my iPhone with Apple id, however I can't sign into iPad. I have reset etc. but still to no avail

    What IP does your iPad show as having?
    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues.
    The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network on your Mac will override the router settings. Try either of these;
    OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
    Google Public DNS
    8.8.8.8. 8.8.4.4

  • My wife sign in her iphone with my icloud id and deleted my contacts form her phone, while deleted them form the cloud, can I recovered them

    my wife sign in her iphone with my icloud id and deleted my contacts form her phone, while deleted them form the cloud, can I recovered them

    Yes if you backed up your iPhone with iTunes to your Mac.  You can restore your phone to the last backup:
    Or with a iPhone backup viewer/restorer application like iPhone Backup Viewer or Mac iPhone Data Recovery. But the phone has to have been backed up with iTunes to the Mac.
    Other possible applications can be found at MacUpdate.com by searching for iPhone recovery or iPhone backup, etc.
    Change your Apple ID password so you wife can't log into your iCloud again and do the same thing.

    If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after
    updating to iOS 6:
    iOS 6.0.1
    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    My phone is from USA and unlocked version and I paid 750 USD.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    USA
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    I used BSNL - India previously. After I get problem, I used Mobily -Saudi Arabia again I got problem and I am trying to use Airtel - India.
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does It mean?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Airtel 13.0

    It would be better for troubleshhoting if you posted back to your original question.... here

  • Signs that my iphone has heating problems?

    what are signs that my iphone has heating problems?
    I'm not sure whether to put it under "normal" heating or technical heating problem? I don't have a receipt because i got it as a gift, so what should i do to get it fixed from apple? thanks guys.

    What is "slightly" warm to one may be painful to another.
    The ear receiver should not get warm under any condition.

    iOS 7 has an antitheft feature. A stolen phone can NEVER be used again, except by the original owner or with the authorization of the original owner. If you bought a stolen phone that was your mistake; get your money back. While it's possible that the seller "forgot" their password, that is an easily corrected problem. In most countries knowingly possessing stolen property is a crime. Even if you don't know it is stolen, it can be taken from you and returned to the rightful owner.
    If it really wasn't stolen, and it was an honest mistake on the part of the seller, the seller can easily correct the mistake and authorize your activation of the phone.

  • Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings to change

    Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings within Yahoo or within my iphone to alter editing options.
    How can I get access to edit and delete the Yahoo calendar from my iphone? I never schedule anything from the Yahoo webpage. All my appointments and reminders are scheduled from the iphone.
    iOS 4.2.1 (8C148a)

    My Yahoo email account worked just fine on my iPhone 4S  for the last 2 months. Then this morning I started receiving the apple.imap.mail,yahoo error.  I tried all of the steps above in solving the yahoo email issue including numerous hard re-sets and deletions of my yahoo account settings without any success. So I gave up trying to use the default Yahoo setup option.  I added my Yahoo account back as an "other" type email account and then had the option to choose to set it up as a "POP" account instead of an IMAP type. I then just used the server settings recommended from Yahoo Help for a Yahoo Plus Email POP (or just google yahoo plus email pop settings). This works and I am back in business.
    I'm not sure if this will work for yahoo mail classic accounts.
    Frustrating that this issue seems to have been going on for quite awhile and Apple still as not made any acknowledgement of this issue or proposed a fix for those of us that can not resolve the issue with a reset.

    Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

    If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
    An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
    If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
    If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up.  Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
    A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID.  If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple.
