Re: iPhone Q&A DONT START ONE QUESTION IPHONE THREADS. **POST HERE**

I have a problem with my 3G if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

It won't play sound. The keypad clicks when I lock and unlock it and I can hear keypad tones when dialing, I can also hear the ringing tone when I call someone.

However,
when I open the ipod function and play a song nothing plays ?
all the volume is turned up and it's not on silent but it wont play :S

It doesn't even play through headphones. I have tried powering it off and on and it fixed it... Briefly and now it's gone again.
Help !

Before it stopped working, were you using your headphones?

If so, this is a known bug/deficiency for the iPhone. The phone thinks that your headphones are still plugged in. To fix, take your headphones and rapidly plug/unplug them untill everything starts working normal.

Yeah I was, I don't normally use them but today I did.

Have been reading macrumours and I've tried the rapid plug/unplugging of headphones and it's just not working :( I have plugged/unplugged about 80 times now !


Edit: I have just tried ringing the phone from my house phone and the ring tone does not play either.
I tried changing it to one of the factory ring tones and that also didn't work.

But it still clicks when you lock it and has keypad tones :S ?

I don't know then? Have you tried the reset procedure? Maybe restore it?

Have done a soft reset, fixed it for about the length of one song (I was cleaning my throttle body in the garage) and then it just stopped again.

I guess I will have to try a full reset. If I do a full reset how can I save my contacts to the PC so I don't have to enter them all again ?

Thanks for helping :eek:

iirc if you have been syncing/backing up regularly with iTunes you can restore to factory settings then you can sync up all your contacts etc after the restore is complete..

I personally sync all my contacts with my google mail account..

^ Thank you.

On a side note I did another soft reset and updated my itunes and let it re-sync and now the sound is working again (Hopefully it will stay that way!)

This happened to my old 3G - had to get it replaced by Apple. I had never ever used HPs in it but it developed the problem where it constantly thought it had them plugged in.

The iPhone likes a bit of soft reset action with a bit of syncing ;)

It turns it on.

Just a heads up in case it actually happens:

If you own a smartphone, chances are you've got a lot of important information stored on it. The typical handheld computer contains data ranging from e-mail to contact information to passwords to credit card numbers. What if all that information could be accessed by cyberscum merely by receiving a tainted text message? According to security researcher Charlie Miller, there's no "what if" about it. If you've got an iPhone, it can happen, and on Thursday he promises to prove it to you.
In an article on Forbes' Web site, Miller claims that a flaw in Apple's popular handheld could allow "every iPhone in the world" to be hijacked:
If you receive a text message on your iPhone any time after Thursday afternoon containing only a single square character, Charlie Miller would suggest you turn the device off. Quickly.
That small cipher will likely be your only warning that someone has taken advantage of a bug that Miller and his fellow cybersecurity researcher Collin Mulliner plan to publicize Thursday at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. Using a flaw they've found in the iPhone's handling of text messages, the researchers say they'll demonstrate how to send a series of mostly invisible SMS bursts that can give a hacker complete power over any of the smart phone's functions. That includes dialing the phone, visiting Web sites, turning on the device's camera and microphone and, most importantly, sending more text messages to further propagate a mass-gadget hijacking.
"This is serious. The only thing you can do to prevent it is turn off your phone," Miller told Forbes. "Someone could pretty quickly take over every iPhone in the world with this."
Miller says he told Apple about the vulnerability more than a month ago, but the company has yet to issue a patch. In 2007, he discovered you could gain remote control over an iPhone by tricking a user into downloading software from an infected Web site via Mobile Safari, but Apple issued a patch before Miller demonstrated that exploit publicly.
And you Windows Mobile and Android users can wipe those smug looks off your faces, because Miller's got some surprises for you, too.
The iPhone SMS bug is just one of a series that the researchers plan to reveal in their talk. They say they've also found a similar texting bug in Windows Mobile that allows complete remote control of Microsoft-based devices. Another pair of SMS bugs in the iPhone and Google's Android phones would purportedly allow a hacker to knock a phone off its wireless network for about 10 seconds with a series of text messages. The trick could be repeated again and again to keep the user offline, Miller says. Though Google has patched the Android flaw, this second iPhone bug also remains unpatched, he adds.
OK, so the Android bug is patched. You T-Mobile G1 guys can smirk all you like. And that's fine, because most of you do, anyway. It's kind of annoying.
At any rate, if Miller's revelation is real, this is not good news - particularly since, at this writing, Apple's not patched the SMS bug, even though the company has known about it for some time. But then, Apple often is slow to patch flaws in both the iPhone and Mac OS X.
If Apple doesn't get a fix out the door quickly, iPhone users need to be vigilant. I certainly don't want my iPhone to become iPwned.

Any 3GS owners care to share their battery life usages?

I seem to be getting quite poor results, facebook for ~30 mins a day, listen to a few songs, bit of internet usage on wifi, three or four 10 minute phone calls and a bit of texting etc.

Yesterday I got

15% remaining

Usage 3 hours, 6 minutes
Standby 14 hours, 38 minutes

Push turned off, 3g on, wifi on, bluetooth off.


Shouldnt I be getting more?

Use mine nearly all day as an ipod, plus calls and always have enough left at night to watch one episode of Life before charging.

If you want to change how long it takes for your phone to goto voicemail then this is the code.

**61*901*11*(number of seconds 5-30)#

Press send and it'll change!

I've been wanting to do this for ages and finally got round to ringing O2 today.

Yeah but completely pointless in my opinion to turn off 3g on a "3gs" :rasp: you just shouldnt have to

My girlfriend can see 5+ hours from her 3g still on 2.0 firmware, yet doing the same things i struggle to see 3 from my 3gs

I just get my head around the fact that it's a tiny computer with a tiny computer battery and, if you use it like a computer, it'll need charging.

Not saying the battery life shouldn't be longer, but a nightly recharge is nothing strenuous.

You don't need it unless your doing pretty hardcore stuff in areas you can't get Wi-Fi.

I have full coverage on Wi-Fi at work and home and only turn on 3G if I need to use the internet or whatever quickly in the middle of a field for example.

In my experience leaving Wi-Fi on uses much less battery than leaving 3G on, I can get nearly 3 days out of my 3G with average useage :)

Firmware 3.0.1 is out which fixes the sms hack. It also works with jailbreaking using redsn0w (not purplera1n) but cannot be opened to other networks as of yet. My iphone is running new firmware and jailbroken so can confirm it works

Using a 3GS. I start the day with 100%. With heavy usage of wi-fi,texts, IM messenger and other apps I get a full day out of it before having to charge. If I don't use it heavily I can get 2 days (probably more but I use it heavily more often than not)

I used to have iPhone 2G and the difference between that and my White 3GS (which I love) is stunning.

Nice been waiting for that.
