Wi Fi Connection and phone picks up without ringing

Has anyone had a problem with the phone simply picking up without ringing or pressing the green answer button? This only happens when I am connected through my home wireless connection in an area where there is no other cell service (in Vermont). It is as if the phone thinks that the wifi will act like the bluetooth car phone connection. Strangely, the ring tone works and the phone does not answer itself when the connection is to a cell tower. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

To access wifi, is that only the free or paid wifi access you might find like at McDonald's, airports, hotels, schools, or your home wifi? Or can you get that through Verizon's service as well? Not sure I'm being clear enough, was hoping wifi was part of my 3G service, *or* something I can access if there's no 3G, or something like that.
You would need access to either your own home wifi service if you have it (or someone elses that you are authorized to use) or free (or rented) wifi service when at hotspot areas (such as McDonald's, Hotels, etc).

Smart connect not detecting connections and phone not detecting headphones

Hi
The smart connect app in my Z2 used to auto launch the profile i set when my Blue tooth ear phones connect and disconnect but not anymore. Force stopping the app does not work. It was working before the lasted android update.
Also my phone has stopped detecting my beats plug in headphones. Again it used to work prior to the software update last month.
Sony if you're reading this please issue a patch soon thanks!

Did you also try to clear data for smart connect?

Assistance needed no connection and phone signal

Could anyone help me out please
I have no internet connection since noon and phone has no signal as well so unable to call you and chat is never available.There is no known issues on your status page I tried already all self healing options even tried new microfilters still no internet connection and no internet light on hub.

The status page will only show issues if they are widespread.
Unfortunately the only way to report faults is by the phone or by calling from the Sky service app for Apple or Android smartphones.

WRT54GL loses connection and won't work without a reset

Hello community,
I bought a WRT54GL 2 years ago, and for the first year or so it worked perfectly. About 6 months ago it started losing connection every few weeks; while my inner network looks fine (can ping all machines on 192.168.1.x) the router loses connnection to the outer world.
Setup:
Cable modem connected to the router
PC connected with a wire to the router
Mac, Wii, PS3, 2 iphones, HP 6500 printer - all connected wirelessly
I know it is not the modem because if I disconnect my pc from the router and connect it to the modem I can connect to the internet.
I tried restarting everything (ie unplug my modem, router and pc from the power socket, then gradually turn them on) and my router failed to connect to the outer world (that is no device connected to the router can access the web).
I tried reseting my router (pressing that little hole in the back with a pin) and then loaded the router with a saved configuration, and it didn't work!
The ONLY thing that works is unplugging everything, reseting the router, and then configuring it *manually* from scratch.
This is extremly annoying as it will happen now every week or two.
Help me please.

Thanks, I updated to the latest firmware last night, let's see if that fixes it.
The thing that bugs me is it worked perfectly for over a year, then after the first power out, kaboom.
At first I thought the power out damaged the router's hardware, but if that was the case it would no go back to work for 3-4 weeks after a hard reset ...

Can I password protect my mail, SMS, and phone mess. without locking the whole iphone?

Hi - I am trying to figure out if there is a way to keep my email, MSM's and phone messages protected without locking the entire phone. My son likes to play with the apps and others may pick it up to surf the net, which I don't mind, I just don't want them to be able to look at all of my stuff. Thx

No, it's all or nothing. Sorry.

OVI suite won't connect any phone

I'm having a regular issue with OVI suite; it won't recognise any phone connected to the PC!
When this happens, which is quite often, the PC recognises a device being attached (the usual USB jingle), the phone recognises the connection, even OVI Player recognises the phone just fine; but OVI suite won't. Connect new phone picks up nothing.
It happened with my old N85 and does with my new C7. I now have version 3.1.0.86 but it happened with previous versions too.
The only way I've found to "wake it up" is to repair the installation in Wondows control panel, it then works fine. In fact I just updated to veriosn 86 today but that new installation didn't work till after I'd repaired it!
I have XP SP3 installed.
I realise this could be a PC issue not an OVI suite one but how come OVI player works fine so I can load music etc?
Any ideas anyone please? Repeated "repairs" are getting annoying!!
Thanks.

Could you please try this?

How do I get internet and phone to cabin in garden...

I have built a cabin about 90' away from my house in the garden. How can I get an internet connection and phone line
to the cabin? I have a router in the house but it gives a weak signal down that far. Can one run a phone line down and use this for the internet? What kind of wire? Etc!
Replies much appreciated!

The simplest solution if you don't mind running cables is to run a long phone extension, and a long ethernet cable for the broadband. If the cables will be exposed to the elements, make sure you get exterior grade cables.
Phone line would just be the normal twisted pair phone cable. Ethernet would be Cat5e or Cat6.

WRT54GX2 intermittent connection and fw update woes

Hello,
I apologize in advance for the lengthy details but I felt it was important to explain everything.
I have had my wireless router for a few years now. The router is in between a broadband cable modem and a Linksys phone adapter from Vonage. Haven't really had any issues. Wireless Router is also connected to desktop PC running XP
Lat few days have been getting occassional error on desktop saying that 'netowrk cable is not plugged in" on bottom right but haven;t thought much about it because Internet connection and phone still working fine. Then last night tried streaming a movie with laptop and the movie kept dropping out every few minutes. I have only streamed like this once before and it worked fine. I have also used my laptop and Wii for a solid two years with this wireless router and no issues until last night so it has worked. Also, confimred with Comcast that my Internet connection is solid.
First thing I did was notice my firmware (fw) was very old (1.01.06) and decided to update. In hindsight I should have followed the steps on the website but what I did was go to the Linksys website an download the latest fw and then accessed router using webpage and downloaded. everything seemed fine during installation of fw but instead of getting a "success screen" after the 30 second countdown screen, I got the "404 error and website could be found". Needless to say I was concerned that the fw never took.
I never did a hard reset of modem but instead tried to get back in to set-up to see if new fw registered. I tried my password and noticed it wasn't taking so more concerns. I then typed "admin" and was able to get into webpage. Inoticed a fw now of 1.01.22 so that was good. However I noticed a majority of my settings were back at default.
Unsure of how to proceed next, I started re-entering all of the data to match what I originally had (Now I know I should have saved my configuration and might have old one but didn't check yet). I first entered my SSID and saved and that took. I then proceeded to enable my security which was 128 bit WEP and then I tried entering a passphrase to generate a key but instead of gettign a key, I kept getting bounced back to the security pulldown menu to choose between WEP, etc. I tried over and over to get a passphrase but couldn't.
So community, what should I do next at this point. I realize I didn't follow all of the steps exactly for a fw upgrade. Should I set-up again from scratch at this point? If so, what would be best way? Easylink Connect software? Run the installation CD? Will doing the hard reset resolve any of this that I didn;t do after the fw upgrade?
Ultimately, I am still not sure if the intermittent network drop outs will be resolved with the new fw. Any thoughts on that issue would also be appreciated.
Thanks again everyone! Great community!

I just wanted to follow-up here for everyone's benefit.
I proceeded with the instructions for hard reset and disabled my firewall (Norton 2008) as instructed. I still could not change the security settings and to make matters worse, my PC connection to the router throughout configuration kept degrading and I kept losing the webpage. I tried different Ethernet ports on the router nad had the same problem. I then connected my PC to spare ports on my Vonage router and had no problems so I think it is a router issue.
Any more suggestions? Looks like it is time for a new wireless device. Little disappointed this failed after 2.5 years in service. Would have expected a little longer life.
Thanks,

HT1766 I have an I phone 4S and I usually back it up threw I Cloud but since my phone is pretty old and has been shutting off on me I decided to back it up in I tunes. I connected the phone and clicked Back Up Now. When it was done I picked up the phone

I have an I phone 4S and I usually back it up threw I Cloud but since my phone is pretty old and has been shutting off on me I decided to back it up in I tunes. I connected the phone and clicked Back Up Now. When it was done I picked up the phone and tried to open an app and discovered that all of my apps have been restored as if I had just down loaded them from the app store. So I lost all progress on them. Is there anything I can do to change it back? And I don't understand what I did wrong.

This means the iPhone has not been connected or synced with your computer since the passcode lock was enabled on the iPhone and too late now.

Phone is connecting and transfering data in the ba...

Today at work my Nokia 6710 did start to transfer data in the background without my interaction. I was typing a sms while the symbol for data transfer below the 3G lit up. Did a quick check in the menu->settings->connectivity->Conn.mgr. Yes, one active connection was sending and receiving data, small amounts 3-4kb, then idle.
I ended the connection in the Conn.mgr. Closed all the apps in the phone and waited a minute. Then it started one new connection in the background again! Same procedure, checked and closed it...! This did not stop, every time the phone started a new connection after a minute?
I did try to find what could cause this, but no success. What is going on, any ideas for what to check?
I finally deleted my 3G access point in menu->settings->settings->connection->destinations->internet
This did stopp the phone from connecting and transfering data.
Back home I connected to my WiFi at home, used the browser and closed the connection. Guess what, the phone did now connect via the WiFi in the background doing exactly the same type of small data transfer - without asking!?
What is this? I downloaded the latest F-Secure mobile version to check for virus, but nothing, it was clean.
I did shut down the phone, will not use it until I can stop these unwanted connections and transfers. Please help.

Finally I found the reason for these data transfers. The upgrade of the mentioned files did have something to do with all of this, but the removal of the files did not help.
So, I did go through all the settings in again for Connections and the setting for Share Video were set On...? Turning this setting Off did stop the background data transfers.
Problem solved perhaps. But I still wonder why the Share Video setting did start sending data while the phone was not in use? A bug? A virus? A hacker trying to activate the webcam?

You did not ruin the phone, you will need a sim card to activate the phone and then connect the phone to itunes and do a restore from back up.

My iPhone 4S keeps losing connection and turning off, and i am unable to turn it back on again without the charger, but it turns on when i press the button and regains signal fine once i return home?

Hi
I have recently bought a white iPhone 4S on Tuesday, and it has been repeatedly loosing all connection and just suddenly switching off.
When this happens I am unable to turn the phone back on again without a power source plugged into it. When I try to remove the phone from the power source it goes completely dead again.
However, the most recent time this has happened (today), as soon as I returned home the phone had no problem starting up as normal when I pressed the power button.
The signal was working fine even though it says 'searching' in the left hand top corner of the screen. I am wondering if my WIFI at home is influencing the phone to work inside the household?
This is a problem that needs to be sorted out ASAP because the phone is not working the majority of the time when I need it to.
Please if you have any suggestions or know the cause of this problem inform me straight away.
Would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it. See this article for help on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.

HT6162 My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download & Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?

Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

Just installed IOS 8 to iphone 5 and cannot connect to WI FI. Sometimes connects and when I begin to use the phone ot drops out.

Just installed IOS 8 to iphone 5 and cannot connect to WI FI. Sometimes connects and when I begin to use the phone ot drops out.
I have attempted all the regular trouble shoots such as resets, complete restore and reinstallation of ios 8. no change.

I don't have an answer for you but from my experience iOS WiFi syncing has always been a hit and miss affair (more miss than hit I'm afraid). I have gotten to the stage where I rarely use the WiFi sync. It is just quicker, easier and much less stressful to use the USB cable. I am having the same issues with all the iOS devices in our family which includes various models of iPhone, iPad and an iPod Touch and have been having them since WiFi syncing was introduced (in iOS5 ???). And then I have not even mentioned my favorite iTunes syncing messages: "Waiting for items to copy" and "Waiting for changes to be applied"!
iTunes is always extremely quick and eager to pick up the devices but as soon as I click on sync it shows "Looking for iDevice" and then the device disappears. I have found that initiating the sync from the Settings app on the device prevents this issue.
It does however seem as if it is worse with Windows 7. I did not have so many issues with my previous Windows Vista PC.
Sorry I cannot be of any help.
