IPhone :: Catches Fire While Charging
The customer wanted to exchange the iPhone obviously for a new, non-charred unit however the AT&T store in question was out of stock. An Apple Store did confirm to our AT&T connection that this did appear to be a defective USB port and not some sort of user error. Our source went onto say that the phone bezel was extremely hot (obviously), and it slightly burned the customers hand. The USB port in the phone was slightly melted and the cord was badly melted (as is apparent in the pictures).

IPhone :: Cable Catches Fire
I went to unplug my iphone 4 after it had been charging for about 4 hours and was shocked to find the phone and cable were so hot to the touch that when I pulled the cable off it burned my hand. It is the standard usb cable that came with the iphone. The plastic on the cable is melted and the iphone has visible burn marks on the connector. I have no doubt that if I had left it plugged in over night it would have caught fire. Once everthing was cooled down i tried to plug the iphone into my mac (with a new usb cable of course) but it no longer can connect. The speakers also do not work. My wife's identical iphone 4 was charging plugged into another usb cable which shared the same power strip with no problem. Information: Iphone iOS 4

BB Curve 83xx :: Running Slow - When Type Text Stops And Then Catches Up
I have a tmo 8320 and ive noticed its starting to run really slow, to the point if i type really fast, the text stops and then catches up. Im not running anything other than the stock applications and my memory has 16-17mb free. i even tried clearing out my SMSs and email going back a while, and it's still slow... What gives? I never remember it being this slow? It's even worse when I type in phone numbers, sometimes when im putting in Voicemail passwords, it doesnt even register my keys till long after I have pushed them...

IPhone :: Battery Became Fire Hot And Fails To Charge
My iPhone 4 battery started going from 100% charge to 40% in 90 minutes. It was only in standby mode. The phone became VERY HOT, especially around the steel edges. I called Apple Care and they said "Do not use the phone because it could be hazardous" and advised I go to an Apple store. I did, and they exchanged it after verifying it wasn't safe. Apple has the best customer care on Earth. While I was there, someone else was there exchanging their phone for the same reason. They have a secret stash in the back packaged in unmarked small black boxes, just for this reason. Anyway, the phone rep at Apple confirmed to me that there is a battery issue with the new phones. They guy at the Apple store who helped me said he has seen few issues for signal or the yellow screen, but a lot of hot batteries that do not hold a charge. Information: MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.4)

IPhone :: 4 Catching Fire And Lack Of Support From Apple?
On Saturday when I was charging my phone I noticed a burning smell and immediately ran over to my iphone and pulled out the charger cable which was glowing red and smoke was coming from both it and my iphone 4. My phone although slightly fire damaged in the charger dock was still operational, however, when the battery ran out and I tried to charge again on a different charger it would not recharge. I took my phone into the apple store (Toronto Eaton Centre, Canada) and received terrible customer service. The 'genius' took maybe 5 seconds to not listen to my complaint before running off with my phone and charger and then coming back with a new handset and cord and asking me to pay for the replacement. I have since spoken to the manager of the store who was equally unhelpful or concerned about the issue and informed me that he couldn't help because they have since lost my old handset in the apple warehouse system. I am not only concerned that my current handset could now catch fire, but I am also concerned at the level of disinterest from a company about what is clearly a dangerous fault. What could have happened if I was asleep when it was charging? As a consumer, this is my first apple product and I had been looking at buying a macbook very soon, however following this incident where I have been penalised through no fault of my own for using a dangerous handset. Then the total lack of concern, apology or interest demostrated by apple has put me off ever using apple products again. I would urge others to be very very careful when charging their handsets as this could have been a lot worse. If your phone is damaged certainly do not expect any support or assistance from Apple. Info: iPhone 4

Motorola Fire XT :: It Does Not Power Up
I've been using Fire XT for some time and suddenly the phone powered off. After that I cannot start it in any way. The Power button does not work, when I plug the phone in the wall charger it does not power up and only the backlit of soft buttons is on with no other reaction. Plugging the phone to PC's USB does the same thing. Tried removing battery, SIM and memory card. Every time the result is the same.

Motorola :: Razr V3r (Fire Red) Voice Activated Dialing
I got a Motorola V3r Razr and I am having problems with the voice activated dialing feature. On my old v3c Razr, the voice activated dialing was used by creating voice tags. I have noticed on the V3r you do not need to create the voice tags. What do you do in order to get the voice activated dialing to work? I have tried pushing the button on the right side of the phone and then saying the address book record but that does not work.

Sony Ericsson :: W610i - Sure Fire Album Art / Small Freeware
After trying for about a week to get Album art to show up on my w610i, I finally found a way to produce album art and sync my phone all with itunes. First, download http://www.binaryfortress.com/itunes-sync (-Binary Fortress) For Syncing, and http://www.brothersoft.com/mp[....]t_importer_download_63611.html (-YVG.com) To find the album art. Both of these programs require .NET framework 2.0. Naturally you have to have some version of ITunes. I did this with a K550i flashed to W610i with 4GB card, and songs encoded in HE-AAC using the .M4A container. Make sure your Artists and Albums are all labeled correctly, as the Art importer searches Amazon.com based on correctly spelled artists and albums. 1. Run ITunes and then open the art importer. 2. In ITunes, highlight (SHIFT + up and down, Ctrl A, whatever...) the songs you wish to modify. You can do multiple albums at once. (I did 80. =P ) 3. Scan! now, with the songs still highlighted in ITunes, move over to the art importer, check whether or not you want the auto import, or to replace current artwork. Once your through with those items, click the scan/search button represented by a magnifying glass. 4. Apply! If you selected to auto import best guess, you don't have to do this step as the artwork has already been imported. 5. Notes. - With more than one song selected in an album, it will scan matches for every song. If you want to work around this, select one song in an album (one album at a time!), find a match. Once matches are found you can choose the best matching cover (if multiple results appear). Go back and highlight the entire album and select apply. Works if you have auto import but will only auto import selected song. - If it fails to yeild results, you can adjust modifiers such as the search criteria or number of Amazon pages searched. (for me I had to simply type "Saosin" to find a suitable cover, for example.) When starting iTunes sync, iTunes will load if not already running. Firstly, you should create a playlist you wish to sync to your phone or player (iPod included.) iTunes sync can sync DRM'd audio as well as podcasts and video. But no guarantee your phone/player will play the files. Next, you must configure your MP3 device. You can configure many profiles, change folder structures, tagging, etc. Associate the playlist in the dropdown during configuration. Your device will not show up under iTunes. But you do get it's files. Right click the iTunes Sync icon in the taskbar and Synchronize Device. The next window will allow you to choose the player to synchronize, if you have more than one connected. Select the drive letter that will be synced. The chosen folder structure will be applied to that drive. Click "Sync MP3 Player." The progress bar will fiddle around, and then give you a summary of what files will be deleted and uploaded. There's a checkbox and leaving it UNchecked will allow you to retain files marked for deletion if you wish. Click OK and syncing will begin. Please use a card reader. Through my phone I got a transfer rate of .4 mb/sec. An easy way to identify any missing artwork is to cycle through your library through iTunes with Cover Flow. If there was previously NO art. If you have more than one album being scanned, do not hit apply or else the art shown will be applied to all songs regardless of album. Sorry for the terrible formatting. If I'm right, your Walkman 2.0 phone should now display artwork. It worked with my 2000+ songs.
