Well in my book a Phone is Hardware, and I can't see any useful threads on the Mac/Linux Software board in any event!

So if Windows was mucked up due to a software bug, it goes into hardware because it's on PC hardware??

You don't know that this is a software problem, a hardware problem or what.
One thing is for certain, you last post was not helpful to Wimpywoo and just to make a further point if you suddenly started having BSODs on your PC, you may not be aware of whether it was a hardware issue or a software issue, so I certainly wouldn't be moaning about someone posting on the Hardware board in those circumstances, I'd try and be as helpful as I could be.
So unless you are some sort of iPhone expert, perhaps you should go and carry on posting on the General Election thread.

Quote from: Wimpywoo Hi, thank you for your reply, yes it is possible to factory reset an iPhone because I have already done it but it didn't resolve anything unfortunately.
You could really do with connecting the iPhone to iTunes via a PC and reloading the IOS. It is becoming difficult to advise further without you doing that!

I have removed some posts that were, to put it mildly were off topic.
Please keep this thread on track.

yes I agree totally with what you have written and maybe it was a dodgy app who knows but I have removed the old email and all the apps that was attached to it and reinstalled the phone but I have not done a hard reset ...yet my next question would be though ( this may seem like I'm a bit overthinking way too much .. That I do a lot of ) but if you go and reinstall a iPhone from a computer .. A computer that you can't install a antivirus on for some unknown reason ... Wouldn't you be just going around in circles ? Thanks
Quote from: Anotherone As I said at the start of this thread I know nothing about iPhones, but I did understand that Android phones can get viruses, so at this point, I'm not sure that I want to believe
Quote from: chenks76 phones don't get "viruses".
as a generalised statement, especially as no other helpful advice has been posted by chenks76. Malware might be a better generalised term to use and I understand that some FREE apps can contain malware (so not a virus in the traditional sense) and the most obvious solution to that is to remove these apps to start with.

thank you I will wait for NedLudd and see what he can suggest (if he doesn't mind) I did try to hard reset this iPhone but it kept turning back on, I might try it again a bit later on. If all else fails... There will be a lot of iPhone bits trail.
Quote from: Anotherone If it's someone you can trust and has some technical knowledge and if they have iTunes, it shouldn't be a problem, but I don't know what else may be involved, so wait for NedLudd to post back.

However, there is one case in the USA of a router being compromised and that affecting an iPhone!
The iPhone would be quite safe connected to a PC and ITunes for a re-install of the IOS. The PC would probably be Ok but there are no guaranties!
Maybe you could install one of the free Antivirus proggies. Don't rely on MS Essentials - that's no better than no anti-virus!

It's not something I have ever done, but I was a mod on an (now redundant) iPhone forum for a couple of years so I am familiar with Jailbreak!
