Super User clayton86 Posted August 30, 2013 Super User Posted August 30, 2013 Any one else have this problem When ever I make a call or receive doesn't matter just use the phone like a phone and talk on the thing it randomly starts sending old messages to people. Like it will take 1 random text message from the middle of a conversation and re send it like 5 times or once it varies but its very annoying especially when it texts your ex wife 5 times that my mother will bring the kids by. its a iPhone 4 by the way and probably why it does it because apple products are the devil lol Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 I don't have that problem, but my phone constantly calls random people. I have accidentally dialed 911 twice cause the phone has 911 as a permanent emergency contact and i "pocket dial" them. Quote

An apple commercial is on tv right now!Anyway. That's what you get for buying an iPhone. Shouldn't have drank the Apple koolaid that Root beer has been pushing. Sell it and buy a Samsung. You'll thank me after you get one. Quote

Smallmouth Hunter Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Simple solution, lock the phone. Or don't keep it in the pocket. I use the lock, but it just comes undone while in my pocket. I just need a new phone Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted August 30, 2013 Super User Posted August 30, 2013 I use the lock, but it just comes undone while in my pocket. I just need a new phone I know what you mean. I had that problem with some of my old phones. My HTC called Kazakhstan from my pocket. It was all ones and zeros. Ended up costing me 30 d**n dollars. I wear em in a belt holster since that happened. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted August 30, 2013 Super User Posted August 30, 2013 I'd probably do a factory reset if I was running into the same problem all the time. Quote

You go and bashed Apple, then turned around and complained about your phone that wasn't an Apple?!?!? My iPhone has never pocket dialed or unlocked itself. I don't wear no douchy looking hipbelt holster. Anyhoo, is there an Apple store nearby, Clayton? If so they can do a diagnostic onsite and lead you in direction of fixing it. I don't know how much it would cost if phone out of warranty. 1 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted August 30, 2013 Super User Posted August 30, 2013 You sure your ex wife isn't making it up so you have to watch the kids Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted August 30, 2013 BassResource.com Administrator Posted August 30, 2013 So...back on topic. You should reboot your phone at least once a week - doesn't matter the brand or OS of the phone. That solves a lot of problems. They're much more like computers now, and every now and then need a restart to clear all the "gunk" out. When was the last time you rebooted your phone? Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted August 30, 2013 Super User Posted August 30, 2013 My wife has a Droid. Periodically she has to remove the battery, and reinstall it. The phone will freeze, or do some other weird things. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted August 30, 2013 Super User Posted August 30, 2013 I charge my phone while it's off, which is recommended for my phone, so it's getting rebooted often just like my PC. Smart phones are constantly getting updates for many of the apps and os, I did a factory reset as I was having some minor issues, it's beautiful now. Quote

Also I would sooner talk on a rock then use an Apple! Oh, and HTC is even worse than Apple. As hard as that is to imagine. At least all mine were. Quote
