Charging Battery w/ wifi on???

Hello so endure night I forgot to about-face off wifi afore I went to bed. I absorbed up the buzz to the charger and woke up this morning to 25% array activity afterwards charging all night. Is this because I forgot to about-face off wifi? Someone amuse help! Thanks.


No, something is amiss your charger. I consistently leave wifi on and it accuse accomplished every time. Did you get your backup yet?


No in fact I’m traveling today to get the backup so that may be the botheration again huh?


This has annihilation to do with the charger (the charger that is getting recalled). I accept accomplished this issue, if WiFi is on the buzz does not assume to be charging at a absolute amount (the buzz discharges, even admitting it is acquainted in)


Unlikely it’s the charger. They’re replacing them because the prongs ‘might’ break, not because they don’t work. Unless the prongs accept broken, your charger is apparently alive just fine. If you’re acquainted into your computer via USB and your computer goes to sleep, it may not charge. Try active into an aperture and see. As a antecedent affiche said, abundance accuse just accomplished with wifi on.

Iphone 3g won\’t sync photo\’s Solution Found

IF your Iphone won’t accompany your photo’s analysis this out. Afterwards inetense analysis I apparent that Itunes has a botheration with the aegis aural Vista on an NTFS Partition drive. The plan about would be to put your pics on a FAT32 Partition drive which adapted my problem. If you don’t accept any harder drives abstracted as FAT32, try application a anamnesis stick and architecture it application FAT32 for the book arrangement if it’s not already. Copy your photos to it again in Itunes baddest the drive letter associated to the anamnesis stick and the photos/folders you wish to sync. Lots of humans are experiencing the aforementioned issue.

Funny how apple’s web website doesn’t accede this botheration afterwards several humans accepting it. When I accept time I’ll play about with the permissoins to acquisition a bigger band-aid and column it here. But this one plan accomplished for me.

Spotty wifi performance is driving me nuts

O.K., I’ve approved to apprehend as abundant as accessible on this topic. I’ve gone over the
Apple abutment pages on it and accept noticed that abounding abounding humans are accepting wifi problems on the iPhone 3G. I’ve aswell begin a huge arrangement of admonition on several added web pages, but I just can’t assume to able this.

What is active me batty is the botheration seems to be actual arrangement dependent. I can affix to to wifi at assorted locations just fine, but then, depending on the arrangement I am using, no pages amount in Safari, and added arrangement apps time out. My home router (old D-Link DL-514) works abundant with all of my Macs, abundant signal, acceptable acceleration etc. My iPhone is a altered story. Arresting backbone is consistently one to two confined lower than any computer in the aforementioned location, and the iPhone cannot accomplish a affiliation about 80% of the time. When I accept to renew the dhcp charter from the phone, annihilation changes. Resetting the router and/or iPhone doesn’t assume to change this either. I’ve afflicted the router channel, but get the aforementioned poor results. I can again use my wifi affiliation at plan and things move forth on the iPhone absolutely accurately and I accept a abundant signal. Unfortunately I don’t accept any abstracts on my plan wifi system, but will acquisition out soon.

Apple absolutely needs to footfall up and accommodate bigger detail for agitation cutting on this topic. Should I acquirement a new router for home? Any admonition on acceptable routers that assume to plan able-bodied with the iPhone?


I use a Linksys WRT54G router operating in 802.11B (not G) mode, back I accept earlier B accessories in my home. It works accomplished with my iPhone 3G. Could not get the Linksys auto bureaucracy to plan but could set it up manually. I accept aswell acclimated the Apple Airport Accurate with my iPhone and it works fine.

Years ago, in the aboriginal canicule of WiFi, there were issues with abhorrence of altered WiFi accessories from altered manufacturers. Even admitting they all met the ’standard’, they ability not ‘conform’ or play able-bodied with anniversary added due to issues alfresco the standard. That has become bigger today with the acceptance action of the WiFi Forum, an industry group.

I admiration about the affinity of your old D-Link router and the iPhone. I don’t accept an answer, I am just adage this acclimation amount has been an affair with earlier devices. Maybe you can borrow a router to try at home. Maybe D-Link tech abutment has some insights on this.


What encryption accepted do you accept the D-Link?

Some are bigger than others. Wep, although anemic seems to affix adequately well.

WPA2 Personal (AES) seems to plan best because the negotiations are all done in hardware. VERY IMPORTANT: Alone accredit ONLY one encryption advantage if your router supports added than one. Two will get you in a deadlock and it will affix maybe one in 10 tries.

Go into your router and assets an IP for the phones based on their mac address. This makes agreement faster, because the router never has to analysis to see if the ip is accessible afore acceptance buzz to connect. Once that is done, you can cautiously set the buzz for changeless IP on that router, but I don’t apperceive that will help.

Channel 1 thru 6 assume bigger than college ones.

Finally, I accept abstruse to abeyance at the ‘Slide to unlock’ awning and WAIT (3 seconds) for the Wifi arresting to show.

Rushing in and ablution email (or web browsing) will GUARANTEE it will NEVER affix to wifi till the mail blockage is done, and abstracts manual is finished. Once it establishes a tcp/ip affiliation over Edge or 3G it will not about-face to WIFI till all of that cartage is done. This agency If Push is on its harder to get to wifi. If Fetch is on a abbreviate aeon time its harder to get to wifi.

As for bars, pay them no heed. They lie. I will get one bar sometimes, and it will abort to connect. About-face off wifi, delay 30 seconds, about-face on wifi and it will affix with abounding confined after me affective one inch.

Wifi confined accept even beneath acceptation than 3G confined (if such a affair were possible).

Also your iPhone will not even appearance networks that it things are too weak, based on some abracadabra formula.

HOWEVER I apperceive for a actuality it is seeing these networks, because artlessly axis off my wifi router will could cause it to appearance my neighbor’s routers which never appearance up otherwise.


I’m application wep encryption. I’m traveling to see if I’m due for a firmware amend on the router, and attack to change some of the appropriate settings afore I bandy in the anhydrate and acquirement a new one. One added point from my aboriginal mail is that the wifi at plan is open, so this may accept something to do with the bigger adherence too.


I’d had no agitation at all with WiFi whilst 3G was a nightmare. Now it’s the opposite, although I don’t apperceive whether that happened at the aforementioned time as I put 2.1 on as I didn’t do annihilation ‘taxing’ on WiFi immediately.

But as an example, was sitting in an airport lounge on Openzone the added day and YouTube wouldn’t play at all after abashed and endlessly every few seconds. Switched WiFi off and got 3G (only 2 bars!) and abundantly it formed altogether for the 6 or 7 videos I played – aforementioned ones that wouldn’t run on WiFi.

At the time I anticipation it was just an active Openzone hotspot, but the aforementioned affair happened at home on my own bare WiFi / broadband. YouTube just wont plan at all over WiFi. Can’t try 3G at home admitting as there isn’t any


Firmware update. Acceptable idea.

What router is it anyway? I accept heard that some routers artlessly are not actual abiding though.

While you are at it, WEP is way out of date. WPA or WPA2 are recommended nowadays.


Well, I absitively to bandy in the anhydrate and advancement to an Airport acute abject base and accurate assemblage as well. Now my iPhone affiliation is absolutely fast and I can book to all of my printers over the wireless arrangement as well.

I’m active 2.1


Your iPhone may charge an exorcism! Short of that, try abating it as a ‘New iPhone’ (not from a backup), and reinstall the apps and settings.


Thanks….. I’ll accord it a try.


Wipe the contents. If that doesn’t plan afresh it sounds like a accouterments fault.


Oh my gosh I accept the EXACT aforementioned problem. I was absolutely cool out. I acquainted it aback into iTunes and adequate the settings. It started accident afresh if I installed Apps from the App Abundance so I’m acquisitive that’s the acumen and not a accouterments failure. At atomic we accept a 1 year warrnty? Let me apperceive if you begin any added solutions acknowledgment dude!!!


Ok, it just happened again, about 6:52pm PST. It consistently seems to appear about that time as I am alfresco my wife’s abode cat-and-mouse for her.

Does anyone accept any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks.


Just an update, I accomplished that there’s something ‘loose’ abreast the earpiece, I admiration if that’s causing the problem. Anyhow, I’ve fabricated an arrangement to go to an Angel abundance for one of the Mac Geniuses to amount out.


Hey Dutd33

Are you in the USA or Canada???

I did a restore endure night about 6pm.
I accept yet to accept a botheration since…… ability be all good.

It’s funny you acknowledgment a babble abreast the earpiece, I accept that also…. If I agitate the buzz you apprehend something apart inside.

Will a Angel yield a attending at any iphone??


Hey themoviedude2000,

I’m amid in Canada. I did assorted restores before, and it was all acceptable till today if I approved to get my iPhone out of anorak pocket, and I anticipate I awkward the breadth abreast the earpiece a little bit too harder and the brainless ‘Slide to ability off’ advantage came out afresh (ARRGGGHHH!). This prompted me to anticipate it ability be a concrete issue, so my acquaintance appropriate to yield out the SIM agenda and to agitate it lightly, and that was if I noticed that ’something apart inside’ sound. Any ways, I’ve never alone my iPhone, so it should be covered beneath warranty. The alone botheration is that I was aswell application a actual old 3000-series SIM agenda and I never upgraded to the 4000-series that came with it. I’ve just activated it and so far no problems, so I’ll accord it a few added days. The botheration is that the affection aren’t consistently reproduceable.

So how’s your iPhone? And to acknowledgment your question, I anticipate Angel will attending at any iPhone as continued as it’s beneath assurance (you can analysis on the abutment allotment of their website). Sorry for the continued post. Please accumulate me updated.


Hey..

Dude your problems are so abundant like mine….. Its now Friday morning and the problems are not aback yet for me… I aswell don’t accept any 3rd affair app anymore.

Yea the abutting Angel abundance to me is in the GTA area. I’ve taken my SIM agenda out afore and annoyed the buzz and I heard the apart allotment affair still. I did that because I apprehend that it’s the Tray that holds the SIM cards that is authoritative the noise. BS i guess. lol

The iphone is Sweet I adulation it…. best buzz I’ve anytime had, beside the little faults. I accept the 6GB date plan and **** I never appear abutting to even application a GB. But hey 6GB for $30, can’t exhausted that…

I accept recorded some of the problems on my Video Camera one time…. Just so I accept proof. I anticipation it was a acute idea…. Because not anybody believes me that my buzz acts so angry some times.


Glad to apprehend that your problems haven’t appear aback yet. I aswell achievement it’s just a software affair but for me, the problems came aback this morning if I was answering an e-mail while in bed (bad habit, I know).

If you yield out the SIM agenda try and ablaze agitate your iPhone, does it still accept that ‘loose’ sound?

I’m traveling to see an Angel Genius tomorrow (Saturday, Oct. 11), so I’ll accumulate ya posted.

Have a acceptable continued weekend dude!

P.S. Isn’t it awe-inspiring that alone you and I accept this problem? My buddy’s iPhone has that afraid complete too but no problems.

P.S.S. I absolutely adulation this iPhone too, I just ambition the problems would go away.


If your botheration keeps advancing aback the aforementioned time and aforementioned abode every day, it could be the Possessed iPhone Syndrome. That ’shaking sound’ ability not be apart hardware. The Angel Genius may ask you to dip it in angelic baptize afore he touches it. Don’t do it – you’ll accept to pay the ‘water accident penalty’ and alter it at abounding price!!


Honeslty, if you don’t accept annihilation acceptable to contribute, you can just NOT column anything.


There hasn’t been annihilation ‘good’ contributed to this cilia aback the additional post.


I noticed one of you acquaint this occurs aforementioned time every day?

Is this still true? does it action for both of you at the aforementioned time? or altered time?


Also if you do accept Apps installed which Apps are these? And if you removed them does it continue?

Are you both application any added accessories with the iPhone at the time this all occurs?


You all assume to of done able troubleshooting. And it does assume that Angel Abundance appointment or contacting iPhone abutment is the next best affair to do.

Yes, you charge to admission one to set up your voicemail. But, the iPhone food your countersign for beheld voicemail. I accept not bare to admission abundance back I aboriginal set up voicemail.


You charge to provide/enter a countersign for beheld voicemail admission – at atomic to set it up initially.

After the antecedent entry, it won’t be appropriate to admission your countersign to admission beheld voicemail messages.


Be abiding to bethink the password. I’m appealing abiding that if I accept displace my buzz I’ve had to re admission the countersign to get my beheld voicemail.

All corpuscle phones I accept had accept consistently appropriate a countersign for voicemail so I didn’t acquisition it hasty that the iPhone appropriate one.


Also note, if ‘calling’ into articulation mail (like added phones) by acute and captivation 1, it will let you beeline in back you are calling from your phone.
