Ive searched the forums and everybody says to turn off the app you got to application manager/all then hit the turn off button. Well, my turn off button is greyed out. I've cleared cache, cleared data, cleared defaults. I've turned off flipboard and google newstand.This piece of crap app is still running and draining my battery.
on ICS, just tried to add a shortcut to one of my screens (it had/has room) and the add button will not work (greyed out) the shortcut i tried to add has not appeared, the button was working but stopped during the shortcut add?
My iPhone 4s will not connect to wifi the button is just greyed out. I have reset the network settings several times and switched it off and on and held down the on and bottom button
I have a new Xperia Ray and I'm trying to access a wifi network. My phone has found the available networks, but when I try to connect to the one I want, it will let me enter a password, but the 'Connect' option remains greyed out. The only option I have is 'Cancel'.Do I need to adjust a setting somewhere to enable me to connect to wifi?
I have recently switched to from the iphone 4s to the new Samsung Galaxy S5. Everything about the phone is great except the annoying multitasking and back button that i keep accidentally "touch" when playing games, watching full screen vids, etc. Is there a way to make the side "buttons" less sensitive or move it to the home button like the iphone? This way, I can hold the phone with both hands and not accidentally stop what i'm doing by literally/barely grazing those two corners.
It appears that the power button on my Galaxy S6 isn't working anymore. I have faulted this with samsung and they have asked me to send it to them for repair. Today, I was going to back up my phone but my battery went flat before I could do this and now I cant get the phone back on!! Some have suggested holding down the volume up button then plugging in the usb lead while connected to a computer, it didn't work. I have also tried the volume down button and the home button at the same time while plugged in via usb, this didn't work either. how I can get into recovery mode without using the power button, I really need to get the phone back on, the battery is sealed in.
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, but I believe that these instructions should work on the S6 as well. On the Note 4, there was an option to adjust the Capacitive buttons lights - always on, always off, 1.5, and 6 seconds. On the S6, this option was removed from some variants (I believe that the AT&T version still has this option). If your phone doesn't have this option, then you can change the capacitive button light settings through ADB.
1. If you haven't done so, you will need to set up SDK on the PC/Mac first: Installing the Android SDK for Windows, Mac and Linux: A tutorial | Android Central
2. Enable Developer options by going into settings-about phone,and press on the Build Number 7 times.
3. Plug in the phone into the computer. Wait until the phone is recognized in the File Explorer (in Windows 8 on the Metro Screen, type "File Explorer", and select it). It should say Samsung-SM-G925V (or similar) in File Exporer
3. Go to Settings-Developer options, and enable USB debugging. A pop up menu will prompt you if you want the computer access, so select "Yes".
4. Go to the Command Prompt(in Windows 8 on the metro screen, tpye "command prompt", and select it) and type "ADB devices". You should see a device connected.
5. On the Command Line, Type "adb shell settings put system button_key_light 0" to disable capacitive lights.
The options are:
"adb shell settings put system button_key_light 0" -> always disable the capacitive button lights "adb shell settings put system button_key_light -1" -> always enable the capacitive button lights "adb shell settings put system button_key_light 1500" -> always disable the capacitive button lights after 1.5 seconds "adb shell settings put system button_key_light 6000" -> always disable the capacitive button lights after 6.0 seconds "adb shell settings get system button_key_light" -> get the current setting (standard: 1500, ie. 1.5 seconds)
I have my contacts synced with my gmail and for some of them i can set the picture but others i cant because the contact icon is greyed out. It's there a way to fix?
I had a sandisk SD card. Moved picture folders from device to SD card and LOST a ton of them. Read online I needed an official Samsung SD card so I bought one. Put it in yesterday and transferred pics over - so far so good.
Moved apps over to SD card using recommendations I read online, by going into device manager and now the apps are greyed out. They eventually work when you click them but their main icon isn't showing. Widgets I once had on home screens are also gone for those apps moved to SD card.
When browsing trough one of my favourite news sites, I noticed when pressing the return button, it does the same as the recent apps button. It brings up the list of all my recently used apps.
I have tried a bunch of things like clearing the cache, getting a third party app to get a return button on the screen, even a full factory reset.
My power button is broken. Last night my phone powered down completely and usually it just turns itself back on when I plug it in to charge. However, this mornign, it was still off and I can't get it on.Â
I have an htc one max and my power button is broken, it has 0 response or feedback the last few days. at first it was stuck with the power down options continuously popping up, but not its just completely unresponsive, the button itself isnt broken or pushed in but their is just no feedback at all, i had to even get an app so i can unlock and lock my device. and my phone died and i had it on the charger for a few hours and nothing still a black screen..dead. so i connect it to my computer and it just keeps connecting and disconnecting before it can even install the software to recognize it.
I have a problem with my iPhone it keeps turning off when I'm going to sleep and I woke up, my iPhone can't be turned on by pressing the home or sleep wake button but I can turn it on when putting is on an outlet that can charge my device but it's not low bat or out of battery.

A few months ago, my sleep button randomly got jammed in and I can't press it. But now the home button is all of the sudden not working. The only way I can get my phone to turn on is if I plug it in or if I get a text, call, email, or other notification. My contract just expired a few days ago.. can it be fixed or should I upgrade to the 4S? How much would that cost?
I have read that you can buy a new sleep button and install the Assistive Touch but I am worried that I will break my phone if I try to install the top button.
i have bought c-7 but after one day use, suddenly my nokia can't to use again. Because everytime my nokia restart and can't show the normal look. So what happen in mya nokia.
I have a Lumia 822 and while I really like it and most of the features I am getting tired of accidentally triggering Bing every time I use the phone. Is there a way to disable the button completely or make it necessary to hold it for a couple of seconds to activate it?
I haven't seen anyone having this issue out of the numerous ones I've seen on this site. My iPhone 4's screen was sometimes going black. Hitting the home or power button wouldn't turn it back on. I'd have to hold down the home and power buttons to do a hard reboot to get it back up.
I returned my phone yesterday to get replaced because I was also having the No SIM Card Installed error. My new iPhone 4 is having the same black screen issue occasionally, though.
I updated to 2.1 a while ago, but today I plugged it up to the computer and it said there was an update available. So I updated, and now my phone will not turn on. When I press the power button, the light just flashes red 3 times. I can do anything with it on the computer, becuase the computer won't recognize it while it's off.
Any way to have it turn on without pushing the little button at the top? My old Crackberry would come alive as soon as I removed it from the pouch. Are there apps available or settings that will do something similar for the Atrix?
