Facetime Waiting for Activation Issue When switching S cards iPhone 4

I have an unlocked iPhone 4 from the UK. I first had an Orange France SIM card installed and all went well... Facetime was working fine. However, when I came to Dubai I inserted my local (Etisalat) SIM. The phone was functioning ok, except for Facetime. When I tried to switch it on from Settings, it kept saying Waiting for Activation.I am an advanced user. So, all basic things are checked: WiFi, Tried to reboot phone, tried hard reset, even tried Total restore, tried different WiFi network, SMS working, MMS working, 3G working...etc. I even tried the solution on Apples site (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4246).... Still no luck.Few things to note:1) I have a friend who has iPhone 4 on the same Etisalat network, and his Facetime works fine. The only difference is that Etisalat was the first SIM he put in.2) I tried to switch back to my Orange SIM while still in Dubai, and at first, Facetime showed Waiting for Activation, BUT when I rebooted, it was active and working fine... tried to insert the Etisalat SIM after that... and back to waiting for activation issue.3) Did same above with my AT&T SIM ... and got same result as with Orange France SIM4) Tried to call 888-facetime and they just referred me to the case referenced above, and the simple answer that your carrier may not support it! Thanks!!! I told the guy I know someone on the same network working on Facetime.I think the problem is that Facetime needs to be re-registered from the Orange # to the Etisalat # and for some reason that is not happening smoothly to the Etisalat #... However, how can I get that done... I cannot even find an email address to send to apple regarding this problem...If any of the Apple Tech staff reading this please respond!!! THANKS. iPhone 4 iOS 4

Installing 4.0.2 results in error and phone in recoveryrestore mode iPhone 4

Plugged my phone in to update to 4.0.2 and iTunes downloads the update. It attempts to install it, errors out, and then when I do it again, it says the iphone has to be restored. What the heck? Also, prior to this update, whenever I have connected the phone to my computer, it syncs properly, but gives me an error message despite that. I usually just click through it and ignore it, has been working fine.Should I get my device swapped out for a new piece? (Also the home button sticks sometimes) dell xps m1530 Windows 7

PCiTunes dont recognize iPhone

Up until yesterday I was not having any trouble synching my iPhone with my laptop. Today I cant even get the laptop to recognize the iPhone.When I plug it in my phone makes the connecting sound, and it also starts charging. But the iPhone doesnt show up either in iTunes or in My Computer. I dont know if this had anything to do with it, but I had some trouble with a sync just before this happened and ended up disconnecting the iphone in the middle of the sync.I can connect it to my PC and sync it there, so I know it isnt the cable. Its only my laptop that has issues.Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Ive tried reinstalling iTunes, Ive tried resetting the iPhone, Ive tried rebooting ... I dont think I have to do a factory reset because it seems to be working on my other computer but Im kind of out of options. Suggestions?Thanks,Becki iPhone iPhone OS 3.1.2

2 recent iPhone 4s working ok since day 1. I (Dad) inherit 2yr old (out of warranty) iPhone 3g 16gb.

Facetime I think iPhone 4

Ok i got the iphone 4 and wanted to try using facetime. Well when i wanted to check it was on it was off. So I turned it on but for the first few seconds it did not say facetime. I know it is not a huge deal but it is a bug that needs to be fixed cause it is bothersome and everytime i turn facetime on or off ( to save battery life ) it shows this. Oh and facetime will not be technically on ( working ) until it says facetime. It only takes a few second but like i said it is annoying. http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx176/Jacsoccerdude3/1a6727c5.jpgMessage was edited by: IpodTouch2ndGen Acer Aspire 5735z The computer was upgraded to windows 7

Regular Hotspots Wifi weasy PW shows connection but wont connect anymore iPhone 4

I must be the only idiot at my two regular hotspot cafes that cant connect to their Wifi. At first I thought that perhaps their systems were down, and I would ask them (reluctantly) to reboot their routers. Thereupon, their owners would use their Non iphone smartphones and indicate to me that their Wifi on their phones was working. Nothing else has changed on their systems ie passwords and type of router. My Wifi icon shows connected , as well as Network settings shows checkmark. Neither of the two hotspots are the kind that bring up a signup web page. I dont really want to do a Network reset, because basically , that was done when I set up the IP4 the first time, even though I did restore from a backup,but has to put in new network settings.When I go to the Apple store, of course, I am able to get their Wifi connection, so they probably wouldnt bother doing a hardware test upon seeing that I have a connection there. My wifi connection WPA at my House is fine. If I set up a Genius appointment, what kind of a hardware check would they do?After all these forums I have read, I sort of believe that the Wifi chip has to undergo some future firmware update to address some incompatibilities with certain routers/setups. iMac 2.4ghz Intel Based 24 inch Mac OS X (10.6.4) iPhone 3G S 4.0

people cant phone when interference iPhone

HelloI have Iphone 4.I had Iphone 3g (always keep up to date software - 3.1.3 I think)I phone 3g started to not connect phone calls, people trying to phone me couldnt only effected about 10% of people trying to contact me.My texts were a little slow sending.Iphone 4Working lovely, over time, more and more phone calls wont get through, more and more texts are being delayed even though sent. I would say its about 80% of phone calls now and about 60% of texts. When people do get hold of me, there is a huge interference on the line, (apparently really bad for them).I have taken my phone to o2, who have reset everything, nothing different. I have all software up to date, the last o2 guy said make sure the software is up to date. My phone is up to date running, 4.0.2.Any ideas on why or what to do?

How I solved my iPhone 3G IOS 4 issues

The main problem with my own iPhone 3G after the upgrade to IOS 4 was constant black screen freezing (at least five times per day if not more) and a little bit of a lag when running apps. These are the things I tried:Providing enough space on the hard drive (3GB spare) - Didn’t work.Turned off wifi - Didn’t work.Turned off location services - Didn’t work.Turned off Bluetooth - Didn’t work.Turned off all Push Data - Didn’t work.Full restore - Didn’t work.Full restore on brand new account followed by another restore on my account - Didn’t work.Using a ‘memory free-up’ App - Had a marginal effect on the lag but didn’t stop the freezing up.Turned off all spotlight options - Didn’t work.I contacted Apple twice throughout this process. The first one told me to download the firmware for 3.1.3 from a third party website and restore using this. I tried it but got caught in the loop on recovery mode insisting that I upgrade to 4.0.1 before I can exit recovery.I contacted Apple again to ask them how to get out of recovery after downgrading to 3.1.3 and they basically told me that I should never have been told to do this and the only way out of recovery is to upgrade to 4.0.1. I think my previous advisor got into a bit of trouble for that one.I told them their upgrade had basically broken my phone and that it was becoming as good as useless, bearing in mind I’d had no problems with it when running 3.1.3. They refused to accept that IOS 4 was the problem as it had been ‘thoroughly tested’. They told me to try restoring it on a new account, then going back to my own. Something about corrupt files. Still didnt work.Anyway, I was reluctant to use a third party program to ‘force exit’ my phone from recovery but in the end Apple gave me no choice and the freezing up was becoming intolerable.I bit the bullet at five days ago, downgraded to 3.1.3, used a program to help me exit recovery and that was that. My phone is now back on 3.1.3 and working fine again.How many freeze ups since the downgrade? Zero, and no lagging either.How many freeze ups when running on 4.0? At least five a day, every day.I feel like Ive got my phone back, and I wont be upgrading it again. iMac Mac OS X (10.5.8)

iPhone 4 breaking on every update

I got got my iPhone 4 on day 1 and since then have dutifully updated to each minor OS revision as released by Apple.The problem is that every time I do, my iPhone completes shafts itself. It syncs and shows in iTunes as if all is well, but the screen just shows the Apple logo with the spinner (not spinning) over the top and beeps away to itself.This has happened for 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 - I am expecting the same issues for 4.1 when it comes out.I am currently waiting for my 2nd restore of the day to try and get it working.Is there a known issue, or have I got a dodgy phone?Cheers iPhone 4 iOS 4

Multitasking Problems iPhone 4

Whenever I have say 5 apps running in the background, and they have been sitting there for lets say and hour, when I go to close them out, one (usually Phone.app) will make my whole phone crash. I will press the red X, and within 30 seconds, the phones display will drop out and the phone will crash. Doe this happen to anybody else? this happens to me EVERY SINGLE DAY!And as for things Ive tried, I have restored my iPhone 4 about 4 times to factory settings so far with this last one as setting it up as a new phone. Still isnt working right.Message was edited by: graybry MacBook (Late 2008 2.4GHz) Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Restore from Backup Isnt working Properly iPhone 3G

I tried to restore my 3G from a recent backup, but when I try the restore from backup option (right clicking the phone) or a full firmware reset and restore from there, nothing is getting transferred back over. I tried both several times and no luck.I was worried the backup didnt have the info, but when I viewed it with the iPhone Backup Extractor program, I can see that all my contacts, photos, SMS history, etc. is all in the backup file I created. I even tried a restore from a backup for a different iPhones backup and that worked just fine, but this backup wont read.I know I could extract the files so I have them, but I really just want all the settings and items restore to the phone since restoring settings, SMS history, call history, etc. seems to only be possible by jailbreaking and I dont want to do that. Is there any other way to get iTunes to properly restore my info from this backup file???

iPhone wont make callssend textsconnect to internet

Hey yall,I updated my phone a couple of days ago to the new software update, 4.0.1.(2 now). My phone worked fine before the update. But now I cannot receive phone calls/texts, even when It says I have 5 bars and 3G coverage. Ive done everything. Took the sim card out, reset (network and full), restore, etc. The weird thing is when I do a reset, it will work for about a minute, and then go back to not working. Im not sure if this is my phone, the update or what. I know its not the coverage, because my families phones are working just fine with AT&T. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. iPhone 3G iOS 4

iPhone wont turn on 3G

Alright guys,My iPhone 3G broke a few months ago, so I ordered a new screen and tried installing it myself. I lost patience and so I bought a crappy phone to use in the meantime.I got really busy so I didnt finish installing the new LCD screen until last night. Im pretty sure everything is good to go with the screen, however, the iPhone wont turn on now. I plugged it in to charge and it wont even sync up with iTunes or anything.Im wondering, does not using the iPhone for a few months (obviously not charging it or anything) lead to the battery dying completely? I left it charging on the computer overnight and still no luck. I know it isnt just the screen not working because if it turned on, even without a working screen, it should sync up to iTunes.Do I have a dead battery? Are there any ways to jump start the iPhone?

What fixed my iPhone 3G on slow 4.0.1

I cant say for definite that any of this will help anyone but I thought Id share what Ive got.On upgrading my 3G from 3.1.3 to 4.0.0 it went a bit iffy. On upgrading to 4.0.1 it went to the same awful place that most have been describing here.By luck more than intelligence and with the help thats available by a quick and simple Google I downgraded to 3.1.3. I had copied my 3.1.3 back up and my 4.0.1 back up to separate folders (so there was a little bit of intelligence going on !!).Things did not go smoothly though. The restore I wanted to use wouldnt show in iTunes and I had to move the restore files in the MobileSync folder around a bit before I got what I needed. I believe I set the iPhone up as a new phone to finally get it to do what I wanted it to do but after completing the downgrade and restore I then managed to re-upgrade to 4.0.1 automatically through iTunes - I was kicking myself with both legs at this point.Anyway, I restored with my 4.0.1 backup but then iTunes kept generating an error message. Following another quick Google I learned that there might be duplicate/corrupt files to look for. Sure enough I discovered that 3 voice memos had become 3 x 3 voice memos. I copied the originals to a safe place, deleted all 9 from iTunes, synced, and then restored the 3 originals - job done.It was a prime opportunity to have a flipping good tidy up so I deleted all the apps I dont use which was a surprisingly high percentage (and you know its the same for you !!) and then I reinstalled all the others one by one.In line with recommendations found in several of the high-volume threads for this long-ignored problem I have also: Reset Network Settings in General/Settings, removed all search criteria in General/Home Button/Spotlight Search, unfoldered any folders, done a couple of double hard resets, and smeared the handset with vanilla and passion fruit flavoured probiotic yoghurt whilst singing Rihannas Umbrella backwards in Swedish… twice… but then I havent got Colin from Hulls Jack Russell to lick my phone in the morning for me.I later discovered that Bento 3 had been massacring data willy-nilly - in particular there seemed to be an issue with media files. I backed up all the Bento data on my computer, trashed Bento from the iPhone, reinstalled Bento to the iPhone, and then synced all the data afresh - job done. A very important point in Bento is that before you sync or back up you should always close Bento down on your computer and re-open it as it seems to need that in order to verify any amendments you have made. Bento syncs have gone from minutes to seconds now.My iPhone is working just fine on 4.0.1 now - the odd tiny lag, sure, but I believe thats always been the case. I managed to retain all of my data including text messages and everything, phew. I have no idea which of the million things I did that ultimately fixed the problem but the 3G clearly is capable of running 4.0.1 - the problem seems to lie with how the upgrade process itself took place and whether there were deficiencies in that area or whether maybe the users current iPhone data condition plays more of a part. This final point opens up a whole raft of other questions because I never corrupted my data - Apple Updates, iPhone, and iTunes apparently did that for me !!For the record: I never had a bazillion apps on my iPhone, I regularly back up, I try to keep things tidy, I always bag every update that Apple recommend. It seems the whole concept of iPhones and iTunes keeping things simple isnt working any more - Im a bit nerdy so I seem to have resolved this problem and have hopefully dug deep enough into duplicates and/or corruptions to bode well for the future…… but thats not true for most people.Apple - shame on you… your long, long silence is deafening.Complain here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html - dont just assume that other people will do it - you need to do it too.

Visual voicemail indicator not indicating new messages iPhone

Sometime around 7/22/10, I stopped getting notifications of new voicemail messages. I did not discover this until today, 8/9/10. AT&T wasnt much help, but a message from another forum said to try reset all settings. I did this and it got the indicator working again. Try settings>general>reset>reset all settings. I lost my wallpaper and I had to reset the voicemail password (which I didnt know, but learned it was my phone number without the area code). Send yourself a voicemail ahead of time so you know if this works. It should show up. Hope this helps! MacBook Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Then I put it into Recovery mode, ITunes saw it and allowed me to restore 4.0.1. It rebooted after it finished, but still stuck at the apple logo. I then tried again using DFU mode, same thing. Using irecovery, I was able to view the iboot loader, had 15 reboots and 1 panic reboot if that means anything. Im out of ideas, and typically, the phone is two weeks out of warranty. Can anyone help??? Iphone 3G iOS 4
