Why does the "Devices" gear keep spinning and spinning?

Finally got my headset today. Haven't had a chance to field test it much. But I am wondering why, after pairing, that "Devices" gear thingy keeps spinning around in the Settings menu? Is this drawing unnecessary juice from the battery? Anyone else's doing this?

I've seen that too. I think its because when you are in the Bluetooth Settings window, the phone is in discovery mode actively looking for new devices to pair with. (Kind of like an electronic mating season... the phone is hornee when in that screen.)
Once you are back to normal screens, the bluetooth is always active, but not as actively as when in discovery mode.
My 2 cents worth. Only a slightly educated supposition. Nothing else to back it up.

    Did you mean when you launch the Windows store app, the app can't start? Was there any prompt message or error code? Did this issue occur on all Windows Store app or specific one?

  • Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work?

    I did the fix a few times and restarted firefox, with no success. Also, I installed the latest version of firefox and it is slower now. I have to use firefox for school, otherwise I would just find another way.

    In what way is Firefox slow?
    Is this all the time or only with loading web pages?
    What kind of fix do you mean with: ''Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work'' ?

  • Why does my iPhone 4S keep freezing and crashing and throwing me out of things

    I've only had my phone for 2 months. About a week ago it started throwing me out of Facebook then my photos. Now I can't get online or go to settings or my photos, Facebook or anything else because it freezes and goes blank. What can I do?

    Hello Mia,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like the one you described:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Why does the shockwave player keep crashing when I play farmville 2 on both the facebook and zynga websites?

    I play farmville 2 on both the zynga and facebook websites. My shockwave player keeps crashing and is a very slow to load the game. This happens on all of the browsers I have used. Google chrome works better than some, firefox, icedragon and IE all are very slow to load the game and this take a lot of enjoyment out of the actual game play.  Please help figure this out. I even keep clearing the cache and history, this does not help out much either.

    Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

  • Why does the hard drive keep spinning up when in sleep mode?

    When my iMac 27" is in sleep mode I have noticed that the hard drive spins up very regularly every 4 or 5 minutes. Also when placed in sleep, the monitor takes about 30 seconds to go black. It also wakes on its own for no apparent reason. No new software has been added, only normal updates, running Lion. Time machine backup is done every couple weeks.

    Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
    Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    If the problems persist after performing the above read the following.
    Open the Terminal app - it is in your Mac's Utilities folder and looks like this
    Select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), select Edit > Copy, and then Paste it into the Terminal window:
    clear; printf '\e[3J' && echo "**** Sleep/Wake events"; egrep -i 'eep\ cau|ake\ rea' /private/var/log/system.log; echo "**** Assertions"; pmset -g assertions
    Copy the text of that entire window by selecting Edit > Select All, then Edit > Copy. Paste the text in a reply to this Discussion.

  • Why does playlist on iPod keep repeating and repeating even though play count rule is 1

    Hello, everyone!
    I have a smart playlist of about 100 songs.  The play count rule is set to play songs with a play count of less than 1.  A few days ago, I reset all of the songs play count to 0.  If you ask me, the way I have it set up, when the iPod is playing with my headphones on, the iPod should automatically update each songs play count to 1 after each song plays.  After I have listened to all 100 songs, the playlist on the iPod should be empty.  The reason is is because since each song was updated from their play count of 0 to 1 after each one played the play count rule in the playlist should show no songs in the playlist.  Like I said before, the rule says to play any songs with a play count of less than 1.  Since all of the play count of the 100 songs are now 1 and not less than 1, the playlist should be empty.
    The problem is, when I'm listening to my iPod and the 100 songs have played, the playlist is not empty.  It just keeps repeating songs and it will never stop.  When I go to iTunes, the songs are randomly with play counts of 3 or 2 or 1 or however many times they have been repeated.
    Does anyone know why this is?

    The reason the songs don't delete themselves after playing from the playlist on the iPod is because your iPod is not smart enough to do that. It's only when you re-sync your iPod to your iTunes library does the smart playlist in your iTunes library delete the played songs. Then the playlist on your iPod will adjust to the number left unplayed in that playlist.
    So as long as you don't sync back to your library the number of songs in that playlist will never reduce to zero.

  • Why does the same collection keep doing soft pulls on my credit

    I have 2 soft pulls from the same collection. I don't want to call them and they are located in florida. I am located in CT. most of my previous collections were either from NY or CT. why don't they just call or mail me the bill to my house. I am also afraid to call because since they are doing soft pulls it might be a huge bill. The dates of the soft pulls are in Sept 2013 and Dec 2014. All this info came from annual credit report .com

    Portfolio Recovery has been doing soft pulls on me at least 3-4 times a year for a debt from 2002(way outside the SOL.)  I'm not too concerned.  About once a quarter, they send me a settlement letter and I usually get a phone call every 6 months.  I've contemplated a couple times about settling with them (it's only $120ish) but then I think back to all the illegal crap they pulled and harassment I endured and just decided to say screw it.  Since it's out of the SOL, there isn't much they can do.  They can keep doing soft pulls and sending letters and I can keep putting them in the shred pile.Portfolio started soft pulling my file in May when I applied for a few cards. Since that date they soft pulled me almost every other day for two weeks straight. The last time I pulled a full report they were still doing soft pulls, though not as frequently. I haven't dealt with PRA in many years and panicked at first. But I have received no phone calls and no letters. So, I'll just let it be for now I guess. I have no collections. I honestly don't know what accounts they are collecting on. I find it annoying so perhaps I'll contact them at some point.

  • Why does the 'iCal helper' keep appearing in my dock?

    After upgrading to 10.5.6 today the iCal helper application keeps launching and staying in my dock. It's not marked as a log-in item, and doesn't necessarily launch when i log-in. It just launches randomly every hour or so.
    I've read that it is the program that allows iCal to display alerts when it's not running, but it never used to be visible in the dock, it doesn't even have a real application icon.
    Does someone know how to prevent it from showing up in the dock??

  • Why does the download list keep emptying?

    I have set the preference to empty the download list manually. And it used to work fine until a few weeks ago. But now, every time I close Safari, the download list empties and the download button disappears, until the next time I download something
    Why is this happening, and what can I do about it? I definitely want the items to remain in the list until I remove them, and I'm sure that I have set the preference correctly.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Safari/Downloads.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • Why does the keyboard focus keep switching to the menu bar?

    Does anyone else have the problem of Photoshop CS6 constantly setting the keyboard focus to the menu bar? This makes it difficult to use shortcuts.
    Typical examples: I want to switch to the Move tool, so I press V, but instead, the View menu drops down. Or I press T for the Type tool, but instead, the Filter menu drops down. This happens often and it's very annoying.
    This also happens in Premiere Pro CS6, and happens on both my Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 machines. Doesn't happen in other applications, and is not related to actually using a menu, i.e. if I choose something from a menu, then press V, Photoshop will often work correctly and activate the Move tool. This behavior seems to happen randomly.

    Alt doesn't really "unhide" the menu bar (speaking of Photoshop), but it's always been the introducer of keyboard operations for "keyboard accessbility" - i.e., operation of Windows applications without mouse.
    Alt causes little underlines to show up under the key characters of menu items, and prepares the system for the next character being typed to open a menu - so for example you press something like 'e' and the Edit menu pulls down.  Now you use an arrow key to move to the next item, or maybe a single character that's associated with one of the menu entries.
    Photoshop's goals for using modifier keys kind of conflict with this.  They've apparently tried to reach a balance where using the Alt key to modify some operation cancels the introduction of the next menu item. 
    But I don't think it's possible to be perfect at that, especially for example if the user presses Alt, decides not to do the operation he was thinking about doing (e.g., zooming out), then just releases the key.  Another factor might be the habits people get into for choosing tools.
    As a contrast, one person might not press the Alt key until they're sure they're going to do something with it (e.g., zoom out), and that same person might only choose tools from the Tools panel by clicking on them.  Another person might press the Alt key sometimes, but then stop before doing the operation it modifies.  That same person might be in the habit of choosing tools by their letter (e.g., E for eraser).  It's clear to see how the first person might never get into a condition where the menu introducer key (Alt) leaves them in a state where a menu opens inadvertently, while the latter might see it regularly.
    As far as why Photoshop might get into a mode where the menu introduction occurs when you HAVEN'T pressed the Alt key, I don't know; I certainly haven't seen that reported much if at all here on the forum.
