Why does my phone keep blinking?

Why does my phone light keep blinking?

    jsh17001,
We'd love to help! What is the exact model phone? The LED indicator should stop once missed call is retrieved. Did you by any chance have any other notifications on the device such as text messages or app notifications?

  • Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected?

    Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected? This has been happening since IOS7 was installed and has become worse with 7.1. I have reset the phone several times with no change.The phone charges properly & I have never used anything but an Apple Lightning cable.

    I already cleaned the port with compressed air before submitting the problem. I since cleaned it with a toothpick and dug out some more lint. this seems to have just about fixed the problem since I have only had the error pop up 3 times since then and i was getting the error constantly before.

  • HT201210 why does my phone keeps turning on and off by itself ?

    Hi, my phone is been acting weird. My phone keeps turning on and off by itself and it frezzes. What should i do ?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4623 why does my phone keep beeping while charging

    I have just installed OS Version 6.1. Now my iPhone keeps beeing while charging. Does anyone know why and how I can turn off this annyoing sound?

    Have basics from the manual (reset, restart, restore) been tried?
    Check the accessibility features on the device to ensure something did not accidentally get turned on.

  • Why does my phone keep turning on and off repeatedly?

    My phone was acting up so I turned it off and when I turned it back on it seemed to start normally but then it started the spinning screen for about 3 minutes, then a second of blue screen and started back up and just keeps doing that.  It never properly turns on.  I had to hold the home button and power button until it stopped.  I did try to do a hard reset but that didn't work either.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Exchange password, what is it and why does my phone keep asking for it?

    For the last two days, my phone periodically wants me to enter an exchange password.  This is the first I ever heard of it so can't figure out what it is.n I though exchange was a Microsoft product so what's it doing on my Apple iPhone.  I just upgraded the 3GS phone to iCloud. 

    make sure you don't have 2 step verification in gmail.
    otherwise you need to follow
    Signing in using application-specific passwords 
    The codes that you’ll get with 2-step verification don’t work with all applications. There are a few applications that use information from your Google Account (like the Gmail application on your phone, or Outlook) that require another type of code. These are called application-specific passwords.
    Some devices and applications that use these special passwords include:
    POP and IMAP email clients such as Outlook, Mail and Thunderbird
    Gmail and Google Calendar on smartphones
    ActiveSync for Windows Mobile and iPhone
    YouTube Mobile on Apple devices
    Cloud Print
    Installed chat clients such as Google Talk and Adium
    3D Warehouse, Sketchup, and installed applications
    AdWords Editor
    Sync for Google Chrome
    Gmail Notifier
    How to generate an application-specific password
      Unlike a verification code that you receive from your phone or through Google Authenticator, application-specific passwords are generated. You don’t have to memorize them, ever - you simply generate a new one each time you need to sign into a particular application. Follow the steps below to generate your application-specific password: 
    Visit the Authorizing applications & sites page (pictured below) under your Google Account settings.
    Under the Application-specific passwords section, enter a descriptive name for the application (label 1) you want to authorize, such as "AdWords Editor – Desktop," then click “Generate application-specific password" (label 2).
    You'll then see the application-specific password you just created (3). You'll also see the name you wrote in for the device (4) and a link to Revoke (5) -- or cancel -- the code.
    Once you click Done, you’ll never see that application-specific code again. But don't panic: You can generate a new one whenever you’re prompted for an application-specific password by a non-browser device or application -- even a device or application you’ve authorized before.
    Using application-specific passwords
    When prompted for a password when you sign in to a non-browser application or device that accesses your Google Account:
    Enter your username.
    Enter your application-specific password in the password field.
    If your application has an option to remember your application-specific password or stay signed in, you can select that option so you won’t have to generate and enter a new application-specific password each time you access your account from this application or device.

  • Why does my phone keep trying to re-start and how do i resolve this issue? Without a system restore as I have not backed it up.

    It happened about 20 minutes ago. It keeps on coming up with the revolving circle which it does when it shuts down from loss of battery but then keeps trying to re-start itself by displaying the apple icon. Help please.

    Hello AshleyJacobs1,

  • Why does my screen keep blinking at me? (among other things)

    I have a macbook pro from 2009 and a few months ago the screen began to flicker. It wasn't too often at first, but it's gotten worse as the months go by. It's like my screen is blinking at me, it goes completely black for a fraction of a second before going right back to normal. The blinks seem to be random, with no real pattern aside from happening in clumps. It won’t happen for a while, and then within a minute there will be anywhere from like 3-10, and then it’ll go a while longer without happening (usually no longer than 30 minutes, tops) It happens when i'm using it, or it could happen when i'm across the room not even touching it.
    A few months ago, whenever i turned on my computer or woke it up from sleep mode, it was making these aweful winding noises like it was trying to read a disc or something but failing miserably at it. It lasted about a week and a half, stopped doing, did it once more for a few days, then stopped again. I haven't heard from it since but i feel like it's not gone entierly :/ so... like a genius, i ignored it.
    On top of that, my Safari seems to be failing and quitting out of itself more than it used to and it seems as though when i run videos off of somewhere like youtube, they have a certain lag they never had before (like, playing for 10 seconds, lagging for 2, then playing for 10 more) I don’t know if these problems are related or not, but I thought I’d mention it.
    I’d drop it off at an Apple store for fixing, but the problem is i need my laptop for my internship and am not able to go without it for more than a week... So, can anybody tell me if they have any idea what the problem is, or how long it could take to possibly fix? Thanks.

    It eventually just all goes black after a while, although this is fixed quickly by pressing space bar. I still need a fix

  • Why does my phone keep saying "There was a problem deregistering this iphone with icloud?"

    Every time I try to restore my phone or completely erase everything on it, a box comes up that says "There was a problem deregistering this Iphone with iCloud." Why is it saying this and how can I fix it?!

    Try recovery mode to restore your phone:

  • Why does my phone keep asking me to "enter password"?

    Hi
    I went to set up my email on my iphone 5, like I already know how to do. I put in my username and password. Went ot the inbox and it was all blank. I went back to settings and since then the following message keeps popping up, literally every few second, "Password Required: Enter the passrod for the account 'Yahoo!'".
    What the heck is the deal? I know my password and I am 100% positive I input it correctly.
    At one point I even got a "server unavailible" message.
    What should I do?
    Thanks,
    CorpRadar

    You might want to try deleting the account, then signing back in.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone and provide the password when prompted.  Then sign back in.  (This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Your data will reappear on your phone when you sign back in.)

  • Why does my phone keep saying could not activate cellular data network?

    I can't seem to browse without wi-fi!

    While both methods are simple, so to speak, we think you must start by trying out the first method. This is just resetting the iPhone’s data networks so that it auto-configures to suit the changes in the iPhone cellular data network availability.
    Open the “Settings” of your iPhone
    Go to the “General” Settings by tapping on General
    Scroll down to bottom and tap on Reset. You’ll find a reset button there – tap on Reset Network Settings
    restart the phone...
    Method 2:
    You’ll need a working internet connection though. So among the things you’ll need, WiFi is necessary. Make sure your iPhone is jailbroken or unlocked (steps can be found in a lot of resources from the web). Also, make sure you have the APN settings for your carrier ready with you.
    Connect your Apple iPhone 4 to the Wi-Fi network so you have internet active on your iPhone
    Now, open up Safari on your iPhone and go to unlockit.co.nz
    Click on Continue which takes you to the Custom APN generator
    Click / Tap on Custom APN
    Enter the APN details asked for
    Once done with that, click on Create Profile
    Save the profile and restart your iPhone
