Two Problems with An Otherwise Great Phone

1. I have been having problems getting a message that my SD card was unexpectedly removed. (Not the exact wording but close enough) I can tell by looking at the Gallery that it isn't lying because I can tell instantly that half of the photos are missing.I have to turn off the phone, remove it from its case and then pull the strip weather strip on the left side open to give me access to system SD and the additional storage SD. The SD is tightly in place, but I still have to pop it out by pushing in a little and raising the end and letting go. I completely remove the SD and replace it pushing it in and down making sure the spring has locked. I turn the phone back on and all is well but it will happen again. There does not seem to be a pattern to when this happens.
2. This is probably the hard question or problem. I had started having problems with my home Internet provider (Fairpoint). My two desktops and two laptops would no longer connect to the Internet. I have a Wi-Fi home network setup using NETGEAR wireless. My DSL router is connected directly to  my  wireless router. The two laptops are wireless, a new desktop is both Ethernet and wireless and my older desktop is Ethernet. I have wireless printers, a ROKU live streaming box, Blu-Ray DVD player all hooked connected wireless. One day, all the PC's stopped connecting to the internet. They were all connected and confirmed to the wireless router. The DSL indicators showed the internet was up and all the other devices worked. ROKU would connect to both Netflix and Amazon Prime. After talking to Fairpoint internet support for a while, they had me log into the each PC and go to my wireless network connection properties. There I had to go to the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) properties and change one setting. I had to deselect  "Obtain DNS server address automatically" by selecting "Use the following DNS server addresses". The Preferred DNS server was set to 66.243.238.22 and the Alternate DNS server set to 137.118.1.32. Everything was rebooted and everything connected to the wireless as usual, including mine and my wifes phone (Droid Incredible). Everything including all of the PC's connected to the Internet, but now none of the phones connect. The phones are on the wireless network but they will NOT work with any software requiring Internet connectivity like Chrome or the Facebook app and the weather apps. I cannot find anywhere on the phone where you can set Internet Protocol properties or setting DNS server addresses. I live way out in the woods and have a weak phone signal. Sometimes 3g, sometimes 1g but mostly no g, but I can still get a very slow connection to the internet with the phone set to Mobile Data, but that costs money. Can any networking guru help me out here? I can sure use it. For those that took the time to read through all of this, thank you.

It  turned out that the problem was the SD card. I replaced it with a new
one and have had no further problems with the "unexpectedly removed" error.
Another question, if I have Skype or other similar ap loaded, whenever I try
to initiate a call in the car using BlueTooth and speaking the name I want
to call, the phone responds with the correct name and says it is
calling...but nothng happens. If I look at the phone a pop-up message is
asking if I want to complete the call using Skype or Verizon and I have to
make the selection on the phone by hand, which obviously is a driving
distraction. On the older version of Android I think there was an option to
not make calls over the internet unless connected to WiFi, but I cannot find
a similar option on the current version 4.1.2. Is there a way to do this and
avoid that pop up question?

  • I have two problems with my 2012 13" MacBook Pro. 1. Gray screen shows at startup  2. Randomly disconnects from network. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I have two problems with my 2012 13” MacBook Pro.
    Gray screen shows at startup
    Randomly disconnects from network.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    First, open Terminal in your Utilities folder and paste this into the prompt line:
    sudo update_dyld_shared_cache
    Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again.
    Next, boot the computer into Safe Mode.
    Next, do the following:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main 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.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion 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.

  • I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.

    I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.
    Issue 1: iTunes Match
    Some song playback is merging songs. I select “Song A” to be played and midway through the song it begins playing “Song B” however when I look at my phone it indicates that “Song A” is still playing even though the actual music is not “Song A”. I searched the Apple Support Community as well as the internet and this seems to be an ongoing issue back to 2012 that has not been resolved. All of the “fixes” that are provided do not work. For example, update/sync iTunes Match, delete the song from your iPhone and re-download from the cloud or delete the song from your iTunes including the iCloud and re-download. None of which worked. I even tried to complete erase the song from my computer hard drive and restarted my computer and then re-downloaded the song and it was still not working.
    Issue 2: iTunes Preview Track
    I am unable to preview any music on iTunes through the iTunes app on my phone. I have signed out of my user ID and restarted my phone and then logged back in and it did not fix the problem. My iTunes Match and iTunes radio are allowing me to play music. My software is up-to-date.

    Same problem here, Im running the latest version of iOS 7 on my iphone 5S (ipod 5S) bricked lol.

  • Two problems with custom kernel

    I get two problems with my custom kernel that is not using initrd and otherwise working fine:
    1) initscripts does not print anything, i.e., I see the kernel messages and after a short while the login prompt. It seems to start the daemons, however, since my network is working. During shutdown the printout is working as usual.
    2) the machine does not power off properly (just hangs/stops after saying that is now powers off).
    I am missing some kernel options? Or do I have to configure something differently for not having an initrd?
    Thanks,  CC

    how about display drivers? are you compiling them in the kernel or as external modules?

    With the latest firmware v8.30
    1. The rebooting problem was fixed, but there is still some problems with it though.
    2. It was already cleaned up, but many questions arise regarding the sound quality coming both from headset and the loudspeaker.

  • HT1871 Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
    Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
    Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
    No, which is not possible.
    What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
    Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

  • I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.

    I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.
    Programs (Safari, mail, messages) keep crashing, mail will not delete properly (some will keep popping into my inbox again for no reason!!!), slow, settings lock up etc. etc.
    This only seemed to become an issue once I updated to ios 5.1 and funnily also affected my Ipad even though i hadn't updated the software yet. I have since updated the software on my ipad thinking it might help too but that only made things worse!! So I am not sure if it's an ICloud issue, but when i try to disable ICloud my devices lock up as well.
    The battery life is also shocking!!
    I have hard reset both devices, restored both devices, reset the setting and tried a whole host of other suggestions (like closing background programs) on this forum buit nothing works and i am tearing my hair out.
    I looked in the phone and ipad log and there do seem to be low memory reports though i don't know why these are occuring now when they never have before??
    I don't know if I can restore the old operating system (If I can please let me know how). The phone or ipad are not jailbroken.

    but you should have a backup in itunes.
    Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
    And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
    But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app!   Good Luck!

    Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

    Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

  • Problems with a new IP phone 7906 after factory reset

    Hi Guys
    I am currently having problems with my new IP phone 7906 after doing factory reset and here is a video of it:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvCLtwIAwVw
    I used this command I found on the net:
    Hold down
    while plugging in the phone and keep holding it until the message waiting indicator (red light) starts blinking.  Then
    release # and type 123456789*0# in sequence.
    I was trying to switch my phone to sip and it also dont want to take tftp setup either.

    Tim,
    Found this on the net
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ts/fn/620/fn62949.html
    Might be woth giving it a go
    6.Pull power on the phone (even if power is PoE).
    7.Hold down the # key on the phone.
    8.Continue holding down the # key and re-apply power.
    9.While still holding the # key wait for the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) light on the handset to start flashing.
    10.Once the MWI light is flashing, release the # key and enter the following sequence exactly on the keypad:
    3491672850*#
    Once this sequence has been entered on the IP Phone, if all the network criteria above have been met, it should begin its recovery process. This process can take up to 15 minutes to finish. The phone may appear to be doing nothing during this time. However, if the phone does not recover after 20 minutes then it is possible that the recovery is stuck. In this case, re-examine your network and verify that steps 1-4 are in place, then re-issue the factory reset sequence.
    * Note: The factory reset sequence is a way for a phone to clear flash and still upload to a valid firmware image. This is facilitated by the termxx.default.loads file, but requires that the image files listed in the termxx.default.loads file are available in TFTP for the phone to download. Open the termxx.default.loads file in any text editor. This loads file is essentially just a packing list showing all the OS and application files the phone needs to function. The files include a cnu, cvm, dsp, app and jar files. Please make sure that these files as listed in the termxx.default.loads file are in TFTP. ("xx" will be either "06" for the CP-7906G model, or "11" for the CP-7911G model.)
    Additional Diagnostic Steps:
    - Try a hard-coded IP address as a test to see if this resolves the upgrade failures. If it does, and the number of failing IP Phones is relatively few, this procedure may be the most expedient. After the IP Phone upgrades successfully, reconfigure the IP Phone to use DHCP.
    - Try putting the phone on a hub or a different switch and see if this helps change the startup timing enough so that the upgrade completes successfully.
    Regards

  • Two Problems with iPod Nano!

    Hi Community!
    As I have already written in the topic, I've got two problems with my new iPod Nano:
    1) I charged the iPod over USB 2 and my dockingstation already about five hours, but the red sign and the message that I don't have to disconnect my iPod is still there (battery status shows full)
    2) With the docked iPod my computer doesn't boot anymore. When I disconnect the iPod it works :-/
    THX for helping me!
    dynAdZ

    Thank you for helping me with my problems, but I still don't know why my iPod gives me this message, altough it is fully charged. And the flashing warning symbol drives me nuts
    Mhh I didn't find an image for that symbol... It's a red circle which is crossed. The manual says that there should now be a green symbol, or just the menu...??

  • Two problems with kernel26-2.6.39.1-1

    hi,
    I just upgraded system, and i found two problems with kernel26-2.6.39.1-1
    first one is that i cannot use "reboot", the screen was black.
    second, i cannot use " openconnect" to connect the vpn. and the error is
    CSTP connected. DPD 30, Keepalive 20
    Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "ipid" is a garbage.
    Connected tun0 as XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, using SSL
    Continuing in background; pid 1661
    DTLS handshake failed: 2
    after i downgraded the kernel to kernel26-2.6.38.8-1, both problems were solved. so, i think, there should be something wrong with  kernel26-2.6.39.1-1

    thanks for replies.
    " poweroff" was ok. but "reboot" didnt work (kernel26-2.6.39.1-1).
    after i run "reboot",
    the xorg was first killed,
    then some   words showed on the screen line by line,
    finally, as far as i remenber, it stopped at "waiting for XXXXXX" or "XXXXXsignalXXXX".
    im sorry i forget the exact words. but i think they are the last words we can see if we run "reboot"

  • Two problems with audio clips

    Hello,
    I'm having two problems with audio clips:
    1. When I try to drag a clip from the viewer, I can't do it because it won't let me drag the clip. It only lets me drag the pointer around within the clip.
    2. When I drag an audio clip from the browser into the timeline I don't get any audio, just a series of beeps (and yes, my audio media is on-line -- I can listen to it in the viewer, just not the timeline).
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    1. Drag the little hand on speaker icon to drag from
    the Viewer...
    Thanks! (Does it actually say that in the documentation anywhere? I try to RTFM, but the FM seems to be a little, er, mute on this point.)
    2. It means your sequence settings don't match the
    properties of the source audio you're putting in it,
    and you either need to change the settings in the
    sequence, or render the audio.
    Ah, that would explain it. Thanks!

  • Two problems with SB X-Fi

    Hello I have two problems with my music card (Sound Blaster X-Fi usb). I have home theater (Laffayete AV2000) and columns with SB squeak and central column don"t work. I have update all drivers i dont now what i can do
    Mys pc is Asus G73JH A, Windows 7 64bit

    Sorry I don't really quite understand what you are trying to say. But you can try the following method to determine if there is something wrong with the X-Fi Surround 5..
    1. Disconnect your speakers system, then connect a pair of earphones to the front, rear, c/sub ports.You can use a Y-Splitter for the Left & Right RCA connectors so that you can connect the earphones.
    2. Play a music file and listen for any squeaking noise.
    3. Repeat this for the rear and c/sub ports.
    If you think there is anything wrong with the usb sound card, please feel free to write to our customer support.

  • Two problems with iTunes (permissions issue?)

    Hello,
    I have two problems with iTunes. I am not sure if they are related that's why I post them both.
    1) iTunes doesn't delete apps after updating them anymore. This is happening since the (two?) last versions of iTunes and is the same with 10.5. The reason seems to be the permissions of the apps. Nearly all have "everyone = custom". Therefore I have to enter my admin password when I try to delete them manually. And iTunes itself cannot delete them on its own, of course. Why is this happening? Why is iTunes assigning such permissions to downloaded apps?
    2) I can't login to my account from within iTunes anymore. That is also happening since quite a while. I am logged in (my ID is shown in the top right of the store) but cannot access my account details. iTunes asks for my password but after entering it the login mask appears again. It's not the password itself, it is correct.
    Any suggestions?
