Discovered a new problem with the keyboard of the iPhone 5

In recent weeks, the forums of Apple have been filled with complaints, questions and concerns related to the operation of the new iPhone 5 and iOS 6, the newly introduced operating system version of Apple . The reasons? Very clear. Incidents and more incidents because of the flaming iOS edition. One of the more media failure has been, without doubt, the malfunction of Apple Maps, the map service I had to replace the legendary Google Maps . This is also one of the few issues that has been recognized by Apple. It was the same Tim Cook, current CEO of the company, the manager to apologize and to recommend the use - temporarily - from Google maps, direct rivals of the new project of the company. New buyers of the iPhone 5 have not been spared from these drawbacks ...

Some reported receiving the first units of the iPhone 5 with bumps and scratches in the metal edges. Others shared in the forums of the company's own bad experience with your phone camera, the results of which appeared in a suspicious cloud of purple. Now, users of the new iPhone have detected some problems in the device's keyboard.

The incidence is very often played when the user accesses to sites where you must enter passwords, for example, when buying content on the App Store, the Apple App Store. What users see is a series of lines on the keyboard that adversely affect the display, but not the interaction that users perform on the various functions of the device. It usually happens ever after affected users have when we have a waiting popup text input. Some owners of the new iPhone have also indicated that the lines also appear on other occasions, within the user interface itself and not just the keyboard. But what is causing this issue? Is it a hardware problem?Perhaps a Factory problem?

Experts in the field say that the problem could be related to two issues that are combined together and could be corrected by a software update. Would be, specifically, to a fault in the window manager for iOS that has not been properly integrated in iOS 6. Thus, the windows (to enter passwords and enter data in general) are being managed by the Springboard or desktop. The fault would lie in some of the steps of the process carried out by the team of associate these tasks. Thus, whatever the cause, it follows that the problem can be corrected through a software patch and not have to cause any replacement or repair of the physical components of the terminal.

But what Apple says all this mess? Well, so far has not made ​​too many public demonstrations (not usual in Tim Cook's house), but we know that the company is aware of the problem and is working on it. It is probable, indeed, that the correction comes in the next update of iOS. And you, have you noticed anything strange about the lines on your keyboard?

Problems persist in Wifi for iOS 6 users

Problems persist in Wifi for iOS 6 users

Apple puts a circus dwarfs and grow. Always the same. With each release, the Californian firm has to deal, in one way or another, to a long list of problems that seem to be endless. This time, we have to refer to the update to iOS 6. And, as explained by some users own Apple discussion boards, after performing the upgrade to the new version of the iOS operating system 6, the wireless connectivity is completely bypassed, so that many users are having real problems getting connected to the Internet through your iPhone or iPad . In fact, buyers of brand new iPhone 5 have also launched the cry to heaven: they can not access network Wifi . What is brewing within the Apple factory?

As is usual in the case of Apple, the company has not manifested (at all) on this ruling, as neither has to determine why some have come to iPhone 5 users with defects in the housing. In this sense, it seems that Tim Cook talk just wanted to apologize to users of iOS 6 for its failed mapping application. No further news. To date, the owners of iPhone and iPad have been filled since last Sept. 19, more than a hundred pages in the Apple discussion forums to tell that can not connect to wireless networks. According to them, the option is marked in gray on the phone, so you can not access any form to function. The problem persists beyond the tips that experts and non-experts have been through these same forums.

The truth is that they have tried the most common solutions: reboot and re-install the operating system. Some of these customers even has decided to replace the unit at hand, but the results were the same. Problems persist with wireless connectivity and nobody finds a solution to this. Not even Apple itself, whose main goal should be to overcome the impact of these diligent buyers.

By now, some users of iPhone 5 have already indicated that the bug has been fixed for this particular device, but the truth is that incidents persist for owners of the new iPad or even the iPhone 4S. The truth is that for now is still difficult to identify which users are affected, since some are no problem when connecting to wireless networks. This suggests that the factors to consider are other, beyond the upgrade to iOS 6. If you are someone who has trouble gaining access to this feature, we ask you to tell us your experience in the comments section.

Apple, meanwhile, continues to make its particular vow of silence. As we said at the beginning, the company has offered not a single answer to the problems in recent weeks have denounced the company's customers. In fact, the incidence of nicks and scratches found in the new iPhone 5, Phil Schiller (Apple's marketing manager) said that it was a completely normal defect in aluminum products. What does not seem ethical that a device is over 600 euros comes with defects by their buyers.

For now, only Apple has taken seriously the issue of maps. An executive linked to the firm announced in The New York Times that California is working hard to resolve system problems Apple Maps.

First problems in the aluminum housing of the iPhone 5

First problems in the aluminum housing of the iPhone 5

Not even a week ago that the iPhone 5 is in stores in some markets. U.S. consumers have been able to acquire the first units and Spanish, among others, will have the option of getting the new device from this Friday 28 September. Year after year, the first buyers of the new iPhone edition surprise us with your comments and reviews. This year has been the same. And is that some users of the iPhone 5 have begun to report a structural problem in the device. And the aluminum housing of the device they have come home with some obvious defects to the naked eye. The iPhone 4 was the talk of the industry with the famous antennagate and the iPhone 4S was presented with a long list of problems behind him, directly related to the battery terminal. This time, the incidence is less severe. We tell you everything that has happened so far, then.

Clearly, it is not normal to receive a new device factory with physical defects. As you can see in the picture above, taken from the MacRumors forum, the iPhone 5 has some scratches on the housing that expose the metal part of the appliance. Users who have issued more complaints own the black model, as observed scratches and dings or dents on the beveled edges of the device. No complaints have been detected only owners of iPhone 5 in white, probably because they have sold many more iPhone black, still according to unofficial statistics that have now been released. The problem is, according to experts, that anodized aluminum surfaces are very sensitive, perhaps too much, so they are vulnerable to higher wear over time and everyday use. Mistaken Will Apple 's strategy?

No one can be satisfied with the rapid wear of a terminal that costs around $500 in its most economical. Aluminum, in fact, is a soft material that can accommodate very easily scuff marks. To check, just in picking up a piece of the same material to verify that after continued use, the wear marks are more frequent. The problem is, in this case, the edges of the phone are very thin, so it is relatively easy to score the surface unintentionally.

As always in these cases, Apple has yet to make any statement. And that Internet forums are full of users complaining about the same thing. It seems, however, that the company has no intention to provide an explanation in this regard, but if problems arise, the Cupertino will have no one to take the bull by the horns. At your disposal are the comment section to comment on the case or explain if you find some kind of mark on your new iPhone 5.

All you need to know about the problems with the iPhone's 4S battery

All you need to know about the problems with the iPhone's 4S batter.

The release of the iPhone 4S has been somewhat overshadowed. This time the problems of lack of signal reception were not so fierce as painted some, or poor performance due to software upgrades seen in previous versions of the smartphone but the low battery life that a number of impossible to determine users are suffering.

The sequence of events started a few days ago when several publications echoed the hundreds of messages posted by users of the terminal in the Apple forums complaining that the battery will vanish faster than the Cupertino company promises in its website . Why?

According to analysis by iFixit and other independent sources, 4S iPhone battery provides more power than the 4, but the new version mounts A5 processor that consumes more, under normal conditions should last approximately indicated by Apple. That is, it seems that the hardware works as it should so following the logic of the cause of problems is related to the software. There are several possible culprits identified, for example:

•     Sync contacts with icloud constant although the cloud base is current. Some report that deleting local contacts itching in the Delete option appears when you turn off iPhone syncing (done in Settings> icloud> Services) and then re-enable synchronization, which is retrieved from the contacts database cloud, it solves the problem.
•     iOS 5 checks from time to time the location to update the clock automatically if the user has changed time zones. Apparently this test in certain cases is consistently recommended that off (Settings> Location> System Services> Time Zone).
•     Also the application pack Reminders could be another of those responsible for the short duration of the battery to check the user's location followed. You can not disable.
•     Finally, others have pointed the finger at diagnosis and use option found under Settings> General> About> Diagnosis and use, and Apple used to send information on the operation of the device.

In short, nobody is sure that it is exactly as many have said everything off and continue with the problem. Neither Apple, who at first remained silent until they finally released iOS update 5 (available through iTunes), which in his words "Solve problems related to battery life." But no, or at least not entirely . After installing some users still say the problem persists, so the company has responded that they are aware and are investigating.

And so it goes. If you've played the bad luck to be one of the 4S iPhone users with the problem and after updating to the latest version of IOS 5 continues, it will only be hoped that Apple releases new update to solve it, I am convinced that more sooner or later succeed in finding the final solution. While some mitigation measures in addition to those described above:

•     Turn off push services. It is very common to have several applications installed that use push email being the most consumed. To turn it off in the latter case, only need to get to Settings> Mail, contacts, calen.> Get Data uncheck Push.
•     Disable notifications. In Settings> Notifications are all installed applications and notifications settings. When you click on each application new menu appears from which you can disable.
•     Enable 3G only when needed to Settings> General> Network and WiFi Settings.
•     If you have to navigate a choice between doing using 3G or WiFi, the latter option is recommended as it uses less than 3G.
•     Lower brightness in Settings> Brightness. It is also advisable to have enabled Automatic Brightness.
•     In Settings> General> Auto-Lock, marking the first option to automatically lock the screen after one minute when unused.
•     Unless you see one or two a month, never let the battery completely, by its nature this is not good. Moreover, although the battery is charged 100%, keep the terminal connected to the charger is a good idea since the iPhone does not consume battery but that draws electricity that comes from the charger. 

The iPhone 4S now have audio problems

The iPhone 4S  now have audio problems. The smartphone should be called the FailPhone 4S

With the launch of iPhone 4S controversies that have only enlivened. If at first the discussion was the fact that Apple had released a new edition of the iPhone 4 instead of an iPhone 5 completely renovated, days after it has been discussed about a hypothetical failure of the battery terminal. In fact, if you've been up to date with all news around the famous Apple phone, you know that some users have reported the fact that its battery runs out very soon. 

In principle, according to some media such as The Guardian, the problem lie in the "Setting Time Zone", the same that controls the search for new time zones on the basis of movements performed by the user over the territory. The thing is that the system is disabled and the location functions remain active, which is undoubtedly a powerful reason to wear sterile 4S iPhone battery.

Well, if this problem were not enough, the guys at Apple have to face now a new controversy. It has nothing to do with the Antennagate already affected the iPhone 4. This time, we must refer to a matter of sound. As reported in the half BGR, conclusive evidence would place another problem with the audio system of the device, since using the iPhone 4S through the headset, the terminal would be producing calls resonate with all the inconvenience this fact may entail. The truth is that by now, Apple has not commented on the matter, probably first occupied in resolving incidents related to the phone's battery. Who knows.

For now, we know that these complaints appear in the Apple support forums and in many media have echoed the news through feedback from new users. The problem would occur, according to a hit in the Apple forums, using the headset during a call. After 30 seconds, the echo begins to occur and the call becomes a nightmare. The user has tried it with headphones signed by Apple and it seems the problem persists, even after resetting the factory settings.

It is clear that the workaround to this issue is quite simple. Simply unplug the cable and reconnect it to the cycle of the call back to restart and annoying echo occurs seconds later. However, this is an interim solution unserious. We are confident that Apple has been working on correcting this flaw, so far detected through the company's own forums and through tests conducted by the BGR itself.

We can not help but ask 4S iPhone users in Spain. Have you experienced any problems in this regard? ¿Hear your echo in call? The comments section is open to discuss the issue. Go on.

Siri stops working on iPhone 4S for U.S., What a Fraud

Siri stops working on iPhone 4S for U.S., What a Fraud

Siri is going through its first serious crisis. The wizard installed on the iPhone 4S just experienced the first incident after being released in a first-beta. 

In the last hours, social networks are filled with complaints from users who reside in the United States and who are experiencing problems when connecting to this software. As indicated through Twitter , Siri is failing intermittently, although users can not connect to the service from a few hours ago. In fact, the outage began at 11 in the morning (U.S.) and is extending to the present day. Everything points to centralized services that underpin the operation of Siri are not working properly. And users have it.

Indeed, the Sirius system is more complicated than it seems. Besides being a seemingly simple voice system, the software works through a control that connects directly to the servers of Apple to get all the necessary information is not stored in the system itself. Thus, Siri has a recurring basis to access this database to elicit very specific information. For example, all related to meteorology. So far so good. The problem is that Apple still has not provided information about it and many users - Americans - who have been in contact with the customer service they have received a very clear premise: "It is possible that this is an interruption of service ".

This clearly had. After a few hours, as reported MobileBeat, the service has been restored and in principle there are no interruptions that are torpedoing the normal functioning of Siri. In fact, the editor himself affected by this court has announced that Syria is already operating on your phone and that in the question: where have you been?, The famous virtual butler has not had the greatest objection to say he had gone through some spa and beauty salons. The thing is take it with humor.

So far, the company Apple has not responded persistent complaints from users. However, it must be said that Syria still works as beta version, so that in principle this type of failure would fall under what is known as normal.
