    iPhone Goes to voicemail

    iPhone Goes to voicemail


    Goes to voicemail

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 09:52 PM PDT

    Why is it that a lot of the time when you call an iPhone it goes to voicemail? It seems to be across networks so it's not that. My neighbor is on Verizon and her phone has done it for years, she said Verizon fixed it once but then it came back. I have Boost (sprint) as do my sister and my partner. Two of my other friends also have iPhones on Verizon. I picked up on this long before I switched to ios a year ago What's the cause of this?

    Charging Problem 6s

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 09:45 PM PDT

    My son has a 6s that just recently started having charging problems.

    The screen got broke so I replaced that. Shortly after that he noticed that the home button was getting warm and the battery was dying really quickly. And then when the battery was completely dead, it wouldn't charge at all. So I replaced the battery but still the same problem.

    Don't know if the battery problem was going on before we had the screen replaced or not because it was his sisters who just got a new phone when she broke this one and it has been sitting in a drawer for about a year.

    All the connections inside seem good, no water damage. The home button is cracked so Touch ID doesn't work but the button itself still works.

    Any ideas?

    Had my 8+ for 2 days, can't download apps without constantly resetting?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 09:13 PM PDT

    Every time that I try and download an app (EDIT: on my 8+, 256 gb current iOS 11 update), it let's me purchase the app and then the grey circle spins infinitely. I reset it and immediately after putting in my passcode it says "Unable to Purchase" and if I try again sometimes then it works and sometimes not. I have tried to just kill the app (doesn't do anything, spins infinitely again and doesn't come up that I need to purchase it either) and also resetting all my settings (doesn't do anything).

    How can I get past this? do I need a new phone?

    How to get texts on old backup without losing newer texts?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 08:37 PM PDT

    My boyfriend recently passed away and I saved his texts in my phone to read when I'm feeling down and I realized the other day they somehow got deleted. I know I have them on an old backup but I don't want to lose all of the newer texts I've gotten since them. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance for the help!

    Passcode not appearing iPhone 7

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 08:09 PM PDT

    When I close my phone (even all night) and I go to unlock it, the passcode doesn't show up and my phone just opens. This is not secure or safe. Every once in a while I will have to punch my passcode in to open my phone. It should be every time. My screen timeout and auto lock is 30 sec. I have fingerprint and passcode set up for "immediately" and I have the latest update.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 07:47 PM PDT

    As of recently, my iPhone 5 stopped charging. I cleaned out the charging port and even used different cables. I tried charging in the wall and I tried charging in my laptop. No use. I also hard resetted the phone. I'm not sure what to do honestly.

    Restarting iPhone ever day

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 07:05 PM PDT

    Does restarting iPhone every day do any good? I am coming from Android, and restarting an Android phone made it buttery smooth. Does anything happen to an iPhone?

    p.s. total noob

    iPhone 6 screen is busted. Need advice.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 02:25 PM PDT

    Link to pictures.

    Is it more feasible to try and fix it or get another iPhone? I already had to replace some chip in the device when it fell and the screen got unresponsive. Now it just feels like I should put it out of its misery but I prefer to check if there's any better options.

    Iphone SE dropped in saltwater for 5 seconds, had saltwater in case for 10 minutes. Used it for googling what to do, then shut it down. I don't have the tools for taking it apart. What do I do?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 05:29 PM PDT

    I also propped it upward vertically, and dried it completely off on the outside after 10 minutes, after managing to get the case off.

    I heard that iphone se's are kinda waterproof, but since this was saltwater, I don't know how good it'll be against that.

    I should be able to have the iphone taken apart in 2 hours, but by then, I think that it'll be too late.

    Is there anything I can do right now?

    Thanks. I really fucking screwed up.

    Phone locking (not freezing) mid use, wi-fi spontaneously turns on

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 04:18 PM PDT

    I have an iPhone 7 and updated a few weeks ago to the latest update. Since then, my phone will occasionally lock mid use (games, twitter, safari, etc.) in the sense that I need to either use my fingerprint or code to unlock (not frozen, just locked). Generally when this happens my phone also re-enables wi-fi, despite me turning it off for my commute.

    I've done a couple soft resets and a recovery. I'd really like to avoid doing a factory reset. I've contacted apple support about this as well (they recommended the soft resets and recovery but it hasn't stuck yet)

    If anyone has any other tips or things to try, or similar issues, I'd really appreciate hearing about it!

    iPhone storage full and most with media but it has no video or images on it

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 04:16 PM PDT

    I upgraded to ios 11 not too long ago. I had to factory reset in ios 10 because it was full and could not upgrade to 11 without space. It was wiped clean and installed the newest one. Now it says all 16gb are full even though it was factory reset.

    No photos or videos. Checking the iphone storage breakdown it shows besides ios taking 6 gigs. Media is taking up a lot of storage which the phone does not have anything on it. Is there a way to see what is taking up this space or fixing this without resetting it again? I couldn't find anything on google about this. I already factory reset it and the same problem occurs again.

    Links in Facebook app keep redirecting to spam sites/unclosable popups.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 03:52 PM PDT

    I've noticed that in the last few months with increasing frequency, when I click on links in the facebook app and am reading an article, eventually I will get redirected to a spam page usually with a popup that can't be closed and the back buttons within the app are disabled. In order for me to get out of the popup, I have to force close the app. There seems to be no consistency on the source of the redirect since it happens across multiple sites, many of which are credible. Also, the redirect happens even when I haven't clicked on anything. This is the most recent popup from today.

    Freezing issue I have on my iPhone 6s after iOS 11 has been released.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 03:09 PM PDT

    So, ever since I updated my iPhone 6s to iOS 11, I've been noticing that sometimes, I don't know how, the Mail icon becomes dark (like it's being tapped on) and the whole display freezes. I can only bring up Control Center and the Notifications, if I try to tap on any icon, it doesn't work. I can swipe between pages, but can't tap anything. When this happens, I have to use Assistive Touch and reboot my iPhone.

    So has someone experienced a similar issue? If you have, do you know what is triggering it so I don't repeat it?

    It's not by pressing the Mail app because I can access it when I tap it, but whenever the freeze happens, the Mail app appears to be pressed and frozen.

    Thank you.

    Updated my Google Maps and now the text is bigger than before... how can I make it normal sized again?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 02:33 PM PDT

    No idea what I did and I'm normally pretty good with these things - but the latest update of Google Maps made the text for roads, etc. larger and it's really interfering with my ability to use the app well. I've checked settings but I have no idea how to make the text smaller.

    Example:

    Also I've tried deleting/reinstalling, no luck.

    Thanks!

    iOS 11.0.3 > SIM card no longer recognized

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 02:18 PM PDT

    I let the auto update run and updated from 11.0.2 to 11.0.3 on my 2 week old iPhone 8. The install went just fine, but after rebooting the phone says "No SIM" and refuses to search for network. As a result, I currently can't make calls or take text messages.

    Here's what I already tried:

    • Reboot (multiple times)
    • Take the SIM card out, clean it off and insert again
    • Reset network settings

    I would like to avoid a factory reset, mostly because I doubt that would fix the issue. Additionally, as the update hasn't been out for long, I haven't found any other people with this problem on the internet so far.

    Any ideas? If all else fails I could go to my carrier to get a new SIM card (as mine is roughly 5 years old now, migrated from my iPhone 5), but I'd obviously like to avoid that.

    Any and all help welcome!

    iOS 11: Select All in Safari?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 12:18 PM PDT

    X-post from /r/iOS. I use the Accessibility feature 'Speak Selection' in Safari extensively. Prior to iOS 11 it used to be possible to select the entire body of a webpage by first selecting a word, then dragging the start handle to the top of the paragraph (thereby changing the selection style to a box with handles at the top and bottom), and then dragging the top handle to the top of the page. It was a pain, but it was doable. In iOS 11 this is no longer possible, as selection is now ALWAYS on a word-by-word basis. I can't get the block selection option no matter what I do.

    I can manually scroll all the way down to the bottom of a page and highlight every word, but Speak Selection will randomly cut out after a paragraph or two, as if it's only reading my initial selection and not everything else I dragged and scrolled to select.

    Any ideas? Am I missing some obvious selection mechanic here?

    One element of camera is dislocated - blurry photos, please help with your opinion.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 09:40 AM PDT

    Hi Everyone,

    I would like to ask you for your help and an opinion.

    I bought second hand iPhone 4s on eBay. I knew that parts might not be original but I have been told that everything works except mute button.

    I have realised while making a photo of book cover that I was not able to take clear image of book title...no matter how hard I tried... I took my smashed iPhone 4s and I made a clear photo. My partner started looking on all photos which I made earlier and turned out that all of them are blurry.

    There is one element of camera dislocated (kind of like moon shaped) which probably causes the problems while making photos. Also camera is sticking out from cover about 1 mm, not like in my old original iPhone.

    I have checked eBay seller photographs and this "moon shaped" element is on his photos as well.

    The bottom line is that the seller says that he sold me iPhone which works...I am saying that camera is broken and takes blurry photos. Could you please tell me if I am right? Can this "moon shaped" element in camera be the cause of blurry photos?

    There is another issue with this phone...when I checked in settings its serial number and put online I have got this message:

    We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us.

    I contacted the seller and requested return but he declines it saying the iPhone is fully working.

    I uploaded some photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/0I1TGNQUiOSQqeOb2

    Best wishes

    email manual fetch won’t work, only push.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2017 06:51 AM PDT

    iPhone 7, how does one stop the phone from pushing emails? I have the settings set to manually fetch everything, yet my email continues to push data to my phone.
