TS3376 My sons iPhone always shows up in Austin TX when he is actually in another city.

I gave my son an iPhone so I could track him on school trips and know when to leave home to pick him up. His phone is showing up in Austin TX even though he is in San Antonio, Dallas, or sitting next to me 120 miles from where find my iPhone says it is.  How do I fix this??

You cannot use the Bluetooth on the iPhone to connect to another iPhone. That is why it only shows searching. As far as the iPhone heating up when charging, some of that is normal, however if your phone heats up to the point to where you cannot hold it, then something is wrong. You can try to reset and/or restore the phone's software, however it sounds like it may be a battery issue. I suggest an appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store for a checkup.

    If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.  When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again.  If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

  • My iPhone 3G always shows an Unknown number calling when I've got that person's contacts, What should I do?

    When someone calls me, my iPhone 3G keeps on showing that it's an unknown number calling when I've got that person in my contacts.
    What can I do to solve this? Thanks.

    Simmilar issue here!
    Summary: Incoming calls show up only as phone numbers, not with the caller's name.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) On your iPhone, save a person's phone number in Contacts with the country's dialing code in front (+ZZZ-XX-YYYYYYY, where +ZZZ is the country code, XX is the carrier, YYYYYYY is the person's phone number);
    2) Make a call from that person's device/number to your iPhone;
    3) On your iPhone, while ringing, shows the above number without +ZZZ and without the person's name.
    Expected Results: No matter how the number is saved (as +ZZZ-XX-YYYYYYY or simply as XX-YYYYYYY) the caller ID should always show up, as in previous iOS editions.
    Actual Results: Caller ID does not work as expected and as in previous iOS versions.
    Notes: When I receive voice calls, the number comes in without the country dialing code in front, simply appears as XX-YYYYYYY (where the XX is the carrier code and YY is the number) and the caller's name does not appear. In my address book ALL my contact's telephone numbers are preceded with the corresponding country dialing code, because i travel a lot. If I delete the country code from a contact's phone number, and that number calls me, then the person's name appears. I'm am in Angola (country code +244) using iPhone 4, iOS 5, carrier: UNITEL (92)
    On the other hand, SMS's are OK, i.e. the Caller ID is linked to the phone number and shows up (because SMS's are receiver with the country dialing code in front of the phone number, p.ex. +244-XX-YYYYYYY).
    It has something to do with the Carrier Settings Update as in iTunes i get the error message 1630 which states that: "iTunes could not check for un update to the carrier for your iPhone. An unknown error occured (1630)."
    Thanks

  • HT201263 iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off

    iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket, it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off.
    this is coincidently after an ios update for iphone which i did just approx two days earlier which was suppused to fix battery issues?
    also battery shows 100 percent full but as i explained if disconected from socket it switches off altogether.

    Hopefully and most likely faulty battery. If you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:

    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

  • IPhone always showing 'E' on status bar...

    I've got iPhone 2G and it always shows that it is connected to Edge and shows 'E' on the status bar. Due to this it gets very hot and battery gets empty faster...
    Is there anyway to disable Edge or close it temporarily..?

    If you are connecting to the internet via the edge network then yes, you are getting charged ( or it is counting against your allotment).
    Checking/fetching e-mail, visual voicemail, apps, location services, can all use the internet.
    The iphone is designed to have access to the internet available at all times.
    You can turn off the data option if you like.

  • IPhone always shows 3G when waking from sleep

    Lately it seems that whenever I wake the phone from sleep, the screen shows 3G at the top, then switches to the wifi symbol after a couple of seconds. My phone is always on wifi at home, at my parents', and at my in-laws, so why does it always show the 3G symbol and then switch over when I hit the Home or Wake button? Seems like it should stay on wifi if it's connected to the wifi network.

    When the iPhone goes into sleep mode it loses the WiFi connection. It takes a brief time for it to reconnect when you wake it.

  • IPhone always shows I have new e-mail

    The iPhone home screen always shows that I have a new e-mail using my Gmail account. I have even tried deleting all the e-mail in my gmail account (it's a new one I made for iPhone use) and then sending a test mail. I'll read the test mail on the iPhone and it will still show that I have 1 new e-mail.
    Anything that I'm overlooking?

    You may have two e-mail accounts. For instance did you recently sign up for a .Mac trial with e-mail?. Try this look at the left hand corner see if it says accounts with a back arrow hit that. If it's showing two accounts go to the non-g-mail account and delete the new message. That should do it!
