I cannot use my phone to make phone calls with my dial pad - it automatically goes to the siri screen that tells me what siri can do.  I also cannot send texts to non iphones

Welcome to the Apple Community Alicia.
What do you mean by try to restore, if you do this through iTunes you can't use the phone while you do it.

  • IPhone 4 with iOS5, when I end a call and after sending a text, the data transmission "wheel" at the top next to the 3G icon turns for a few seconds.

    This has only started since the IOS5 upgrade.  Also, possibly unrelated, there has been a spam email sent from one of my yahoo email accounts to not only everyone in my contact list, but to anyone I have emailed from my iPhone (including those that I did not store email addy's in the contact list). 

    green for a few seconds before orange...normal.
    normal for several seconds to pass before it indicates on the menu bar it is recharging.
    Reset SMC
    SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    Mavericks has changed some minor characteristics in how the battery indicator reports, youre right about same.
    None of that however is related to the actual charging or discharging of the Macbooks lithium battery.

  • I have one iPhone 8GB. after making upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use the iPhone. There's no service! doesn't acept the code PIN! it only make emergency calls and the image in the phone is to conect to iTunes.What can i do?

    I have one iPhone 8GB. After making un upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use it. There's no service! doesn't acept PIN code! it only makes emergency calls and the image in the iPhone is the sign to connect to iTunes. What can i do to solve it?

    Where are you and where did you get the phone.  This sounds like a classic symptom of someone who bought an iPhone that originated in the U.S. which was then hacked so it would run on a carrier network other than AT&T... Then, when updating the phone, it becare re-locked to AT&T.
    If that's what happened, you now own a paperweight. AT&T will NOT unlock them for any reason.
    If this isn't the case, please clarify where you are, what carrier you have and where you got the phone so we can begin troubleshooting.

  • HT1414 While I'm on the phone I can't see my texts or who's beeping in on call waiting or send a text while one the phone

    While I'm on the phone I can't see my texts or who's beeping in on call waiting or send a text while one the phone. When I hit the home buttons while on the phone it's really annoying so I can't multitask like talk on the phone while sending a text

    someone could be hacking into your iPhone..... what I would do is to restore your iPhone (which will erase ALL your data)..... and change any passwords use on that iPhone..... and if you have to, go to where ever you bought the iphone and tell them that someone is making calls when ur on the phone.... If this doesn't help... sorry for wasting your time

  • I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. Any suggestions?

    I just got an iphone. I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. I have tried turning imessage off and also wifi off. Any other suggestions? Most of my family including my husband currently have android phones and I need to be able to talk to them. I can send messages to iphones and ipads but not their phones. What can I do??

    I don't see the "Start new conversation from:" I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes last night on the phone with Verizon. We completely reset the phone after backing it up to icloud. His conclusion was I need a new SIM card and I will not be able to go take care of that until tonight. I don't know if that will fix it or not but that is what he said...

    you need to connect your phone to iTunes.  No way around it.

  • My phone won't let me make a call, I have it activated and also used the 45 dollar plan and it still tells me to enter a phone number...What can I do to get it to work?

    If someone can please help me I am a new user to this phone and Verizon.  I got to so that I could call my son and mom long distance, but it won't let me make the call.  It is activated and has the 45 dollar plan on it.  I really want it to work and not be a waste of money. 

    I'm sorry you're having troubles making calls, cnasam. From the phone, please try dialing *228 [send], option 1 to program. When completed, restart phone. If this doesn't work, please reach out to PrePay directly at 888-294-6804 and select options 4,6,4 for prompt service.   Thank you, VanessaS_VZW Follow us on Twitter @VZWSupport If my response answered your question please click the "Correct Answer" button under my response.

  • After ICS upgrade Phone is very slow to make a call

    After ICS upgrade , when I select a contact to call , and then press cell or home , the response time is very slow.
    I have pressed the call button more than once thinking it did not take. Then when it does take I end up calling the person
    more than once because it has buffered the calls . What can be causing this ?
    If you have an answer Please email me at: Personal email address removed to comply with VZW ToS<     Thanks

    Mine and my wifes thunderbolts have become horrible since the upgrade was pushed.  Apps are slow, or don't even load some times.  Trying to make a phone call is sluggish and at times it will try to call twice at the same time for some reason.
    however, i overlooked all of this because i liked the look of ICS.  then last week after being pushed two updates in a row, it now will just turn off at random times.  i can't even go to a webpage anymore because it will immediately crash.  better yet, when i try to reboot the phone, it will get to the point where it recognizes the verizon network, and then just shut off again.  this happened to me 8 times in a row the other day.  it will also say that the battery is in the red, even though it had a full charge before the crash.
    i have found that if i plug my phone in and then boot it up, it will boot up correctly.  that is the only way i have been able to get it to actually boot up since all of this started happening.  it will still show the battery is about to die, and then about 15 minutes later it will show it is at 100% again.
    i tried to do the chat with a reprensentative today and the guy was asking for my account password before he could look into my issue.  what kind of company asks for a password.  that is the dumbest thing i have seen.  so now, i have a phone that "sometimes" works, and online chat that reminds me of a scamming site. 
    when my wife called to talk to someone they told her that it was htc's fault and that it would cost us $60 each to switch to new phones.  how is that customer service?  besides, verizon's network sent the update.  there is no way that they can try to say it wasn't their fault.  that isn't how the real world works.
    i have reposted this from another thread, but since there seems to be someone from VZW reading this, perhaps some info can be found...

  • HT3529 I cannot send a text message to one specific friend when they have iMessage turned off. It should go through as a text message instead of an iMessage but they never receive it. It only happens with this one person and I can receive, but not send.

    Please help! I can't send a text message to one specific friend of mine when he has iMessage turned off. I can receive his texts, but he never receives mine. Both are iPhones, obviously, different carriers which shouldn't matter. Neither of us got new phones. MMS is on. All if a sudden it just happened. No major changes other than him turning iMessage off, due to a nosy brother who shares his iPad. What am I missing??

    I do have SMS on. What else could it possibly be?

  • Accidentally cleared storage on my phone, now I can't make/receive calls, etc. Please help!

    So I was turning my phone on and I accidentally brought up a white screen that gave me several options including Clear Storage, Factory Reset and Fastboot. Entirely by accident, I selected "Clear Storage". As soon as I realized my mistake, I quickly removed the battery. However, upon restarting my phone, I found that I could not make/receive calls or send/receive texts. Before going to my local Verizon store tomorrow, I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to remedy this issue myself. Any help would be appreciated.

    Nevermind! Dialed *228 and reprogrammed the handset, all's well. Thanks however, Jim!
