Very Strange Issue

Hello, all. I am using an iPhone 5 and have experienced a really strange issue today. When I make or receive a phone call, I can’t be heard by the person I’m talking with, unless I take the phone away from my ear and thus put it on speaker phone. Then I am heard fine. Does anyone know of a chan

Re: How often do you charge your Iphone?

Hello, Maria. I usually charge my phone each evening, even though the battery might still be at 40%. However, I often bring my charger to work if I know I will be using the phone significantly in the evenings. Thus, I can give the phone a boost so that it will last until I'm ready to go to bed.

Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

I use an Otterbox Defender case all the time. I like the protection it offers, plus it frames the screen nicely so that the four corners of the display are easy to find. I understand the rationale of using and not using the case. Here's another great example of freedom of choice. -Origin

The confusing thing is that Carat help talks about being to kill processes and programs in this "Process Manager". In App Switcher, I of course see the programs to kills, but not the processes to which Help refers. -Original Message- From: David Chittenden Sent: Thursday, July 19, 201
