Was there an outage last Friday?

My phone stopped working for several hours last Friday, couldn't txt or call, switched to wifi with no success etc.  Was there an outage?  I missed several important calls and need to confirm

I used to have the same issue. What I found by using Onavo Count (a data monitoring app) is that most of the Bloatware Verizon puts on the phones calls home nightly to get updates, or data to feed you if you happen to use the apps.  Unfortunately on my Maxx and Bionic, I used NONE of the apps that were using my Data.  Onavo also has the ability to change how an app uses data by limiting it to Wi-Fi Only and once I did that, my data usage went from 2.5 GB per month down to just under .5 GB per month on my bionic, and from 5.3 GB per month on the Maxx to just over 3GB per month.
If you have Ice Cream Sandwich on the Razr, you can also disable these Bloatware apps and that will stop it from accessing your data. At the very least Onavo can tell you which apps are using the data.
I would suspect the Data ia being used by Backup assistant, or My Verizon Mobil, or a social media app.

  • My wife was looking for me last Friday morning with the app find my phone.  The app showed that I was not where I said I was and she does not believe me.  How is the explanation for this mistake, I know where I was at but she is very upset.

    Please help!!! My wife has a Samsung galaxy 4s, and she was looking for me last Friday (09/19/2014) morning with the find my phone app.  I have a iPhone 5S and the app placed me in a location about 5 or 6 miles away from where I was actually at.  My wife if very up set and thinks I am lying to her.  Is there a way to get here the proper information so she does not have to feel like I am a lier.  This is a big problem and I need help. I can get video but it is very  expensive and takes a court order. I truly need help with this I have kids and this is problem is destroying our marriage.
    Thanks

    How was your wife using the Find My iPhone app from a Samsung phone? But, that question aside, your wife should educate herself on how GPS works, especially on a cell phone. GPS signals can be interfered with by trees, buildings, clouds. Off by several miles would be unusual, though.
    If your wife is tracking your cell phone and not believing what you tell her, you may want to consider counseling as there are some very serious issues that go way beyond the technology.
    Best of luck.

  • HT1911 I had to change my Apple ID password because I forgot what it was.  Now, my account doesn't have the itunes money in it that was there on my last visit.  How do I find my funds?

    ChrisJ4203,
    Thank you for the help.  Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID.  I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone.  In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one.  My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID.  Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I  agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

    Leo,
    You may try the list (5) being less likely).
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

    I bought my iphone5 last Mar 1, 2013. However, it was stolen/lost last friday Jun 14.How can I locked it for them not to use or resell it?I'm not registered at ICLOUD. I am not expecting it to be returned. I just want the unit to become useless already so that stolen/lost  Iphone or any kind of apple brand gadget will no longer be of interest by others to buy it from any thief or any person who will resell it in just a small amount.

    Sorry, but if you did not set up Find My iPhone, then unless your iPhone is set up with a company Microsoft Exchange server or other mobile device management system, there is no way to wipe the iPhone of its data, though if you had a screen lock in it, the thieves/finder will probably restore it and wipe the data anyway. There is no way to lock the iPhone permanently to prevent someone from using your iPhone, though you can report the loss to your cell carrier and they may be able to blacklist it from connecting to their network.
    Regards.

  • Last Friday, the broken glass of my iphon g3 replaced. Since then, remains the screen of my iphon regular black. The battery is not empty. By the restart I get my iphon back to life. It always comes back sooner. The last 24 hours 3x. Is there a solution?

    Since Apple doesn't repair iPhones (they replace them) you will have to take it back to whoever "fixed" it. Since it's been opened by an unauthorized 3rd party, it is no longer eligible for replacement by Apple.

  • I brought an iphone on last friday, i open the saran wrap. Now i want to return it, is there any return fee or free?

    I brought an iphone on last friday, i open the saran wrap. Now i want to return it, is there any return fee or free?

    Not if you purchased it from Apple. Apple eliminated restocking fees years ago.
    You have 30 days to return it (in the US).

  • Was there a power outage, or is my Time Capsule forcing me to update?

    I ended up applying the update in anycase, but it seems weird, my Time Capsule started flashing orange. I loaded the airport utility, and it wanted to tell me to update. After updating everything was green. But why would it start flashing orange like that? Was there a power outage, or does the hardware notice the update availability, and stop functioning except to download and apply it?

  • There was a power outage while I was asleep and my Imac was on. Now it is comatose, no sign of life no matter what I do. Help anyone?

    There was a power outage while I was asleep and my Imac was on. Now it is comatose, no sign of life no matter what I do. I pressed the power on button for over a minute and nothing happened. I unplugged the cable and changed the wall socket too but nothing happens. I hope My hard disc is not damaged and the data is not lost. How do I determine this with no technical knowledge?

  • Date: Is it possible to get the last Friday of each month?

    Hello all, I am trying to create a column of dates which are a specific day in each month, e.g. the last Friday of every month, or the first Monday of every month. Is this possible, and if so could you please guide me on how to?
    Thanks
    James

    James,
    My thought was that you would create an array of dates with this table and Copy/Paste Values it into the range where you need it.
    What I did was build a table of controls, below, where I set the year and what day of the week you were interested in and the top table will compute the dates. I used direct entry for the year and a POP-UP menu for day of the week.
    The 4th 'Friday' formula is: =IF(Controls :: $C>$C, $B+Controls :: $C-$C+21, $B+Controls :: $C-$C+28)
    The Last 'Friday' formula is: =IF((G+7)>EOMONTH(B, 0), G, G+7)
    The formula in the Header Row is: ="4th "& Controls :: $B , etc.
    There is no reason you couldn't transpose the table to have your Last Fridays in a row rather than in a column. I don't think I noticed that requirement in your original post.
    And, there's no reason to have a fancy control panel if you don't think you'll ever need to create another series of dates. Just substitute values for the references to the control table.

  • Strange EDGE behavior since last Friday

    Hello,
    I work on the 7th floor of a large 8 story building in N Central NJ. Before last Friday I was able to get a constant 4-5 bar Edge signal in my office. 3G never worked in the building. However now, I will get a good 4-5 bar signal for maybe 20 minutes and then the phone will suddenly change to "No Service". Edge will sometimes come back, but it usually requires me to reboot the phone. If I turn on Airplane mode and then turn it back off the phone just displays "Searching...." and the Edge never returns. Strange thing is that if I am listening to Pandora radio or try to use Safari when the phone says "No Service" it sometimes still works. How can I have "No Service" and still be able to xfer data?
    Updated to 2.0.1 and it didn't improve things. Went and got a new SIM card and that didn't help either. How can I get a good signal and then all of a sudden have it drop to "No Service"? I'm not moving the phone or anything! Are others experiencing this type of problem? Do I have a bad phone?
    NM

    If your phone is able to receive data with "no service" showing, there is likely something wrong. Are you able to send or receive calls with "no service"? Remember, the signal strength meter has a built in lag, otherwise it would be fluctuating rapidly, especially indoors. If you move a phone in a steel framed building, it initially won't show a change in bars, but a minute or more later, jump up or down. The placement of your hand on the phone can also have a big effect. Never compare "bars" from one phone model to another.
    To get a more accurate measurement of signal, put your iPhone in "Field Test" mode. To do this enter <star>3001#12345#<star> in the keypad and press call. The "bars" will be replaced by a number - the actual signal strength in -dBm ( the lower the better). Numbers of less than -100 (i.e. -110) are getting weak.

  • I cannot get my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even get google to open. I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer.

    I cannot get my iTunes library/music from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even open a browser.I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer. I disconnected my old computer so I will have to reconnect it I am sure. thank you for any help. Last time I transferred I used a product I purchased. That was a long time ago.

    First of all make sure that you've definitely backed up the movies to your external hard disc.
    In iMovie click on any event you don't want, go to the file menu and select 'move event to trash'. Then do the same for any unwanted projects - 'move project to trash'. Quit out of iMovie and empty the trash.
    Hope that helps!

  • HT4009 How long does it take for apple to return with the needed code for in app purchases.  We have a developer working through elance that states he submitted a finalized version last friday to apple and is still waiting to get the code back from Apple?

    We are being told by our elance developer that he is just waiting on apple to return the code for in app purchases with our app.  he says he had to submit a complete version before they would give it to him and that he did that last friday.  Needless to say i don;t beleive him.  Can anyone validate for me the process of getting the code installed into our app and how long it should really take.

    I'd say an average of one week, depending on backlog. Expect two if you are outside the US.
    The outage has caused some lingering effects that seem to be delaying things for some, however.
    Patience is key in all things when it comes to being a developer
