  1. Thank you very much for the link. It's not an option to turn my phone off when I'm away from home so I guess I learn to live with it Thanks again
  2. Hi I wonder if anyone knows about this, its a bit unusual... I think someone knows where I am from my iPhone... I discounted my suspicions for a while because I didn't know if it was possible but a bit of a search and I found Apps that track your OWN iPhone and I thought what is to stop someone registering mine as their own I have got good reason to suspect this but it isn't someone I am worried about (maybe annoyed but he means no harm) but if he is, what would the App be using to track me? GPS? Location services? If I turned either off would it put a stop to it? And when I upgrade to 4S next month will it carry over? Is it sim-based or phone based? I know its off topic and slightly weird but any help would be much appreciated Thanks
  3. Thanks very much - I did a bit of a Google search before I took it in to the shop in September and had discovered the Scaleo runs hot and others had experienced similar problems. The guys in the repair shop didn't seem interested thought - someone had suggested an additional fan which they didn't want to do either - I'll get some recommendations of where to take it for repair along with your comments Thanks again
  4. Hope you can help with suggestions - this is a problem I had earlier in the year - in September the processor went into the shop for the exact problem. Now its occuring again... I've put the system details below - if you need anything else as well as asking can you tell me where to find the info please - competant in using the PC but the technical side of things baffles me: The problem started when I was using the game Farmville - you can hear the PC pick up speed, the fan comes on and the whole thing slows down. There is a 'whispering' sound from the processor then the power suddenly shuts off. Over time it got worse so when I was only doing college work in Word it would shut down without warning. The repair shop cleaned it and did a system restore because Windows was out of date and corrupt data as it kept shutting down during the updates. No viruses or anything were found. I asked about more memory but was assured that as the game is online and flash based it isn't greedy and it just needed a clean. That was September. Its just started doing it again so does it need a £35 clean again? Its only doing it on Farmville at the moment but I hear the 'whisper' at other times- even when I logged on here. What I'm using is below: Fujitsu Siemens SCALEO T (around 4yrs old - I've had it a year) Intel ® Pentium ® 4 CPU 3.40GHz 1.00GB of RAM Local Disk C Total size 232GB Free Space 212GB I'm using XP Home Edition 2002 service pack 3, browsing with Firefox I have SKY broadband though a phone line and use Avast Anti Virus, I update everything as and when required All the PC has on it is internet, browser, email, a few photos and documents and Microsoft Office - its mainly used on the Net Can anyone suggest anything that may be causing it and any solutions - I could just give up Farmville but I fear I'd need counselling first :) Thank you!
  5. Hi I was registered here a while ago but have changed my whole set up and email address etc so had to re-register You guys were so helpful before and saved me a fortune (I had so little knowledge I was ready just to buy new system but after your advice it lasted another couple of years) I'm having a small problem now but I will give the forums a search and see if I can resolve before I ask for help Thanks again Deb
