Galaxy S5 :: Why Phone Switching Itself On Arbitrarily
Nov 4, 2015
I have resisted getting a smartphone for years. I use the phone for calls and texts and didn't need anything else. But finally, I had to join the new world. Now, I have a work phone that is an iPhone and I haven't really got on with that. One of the problems is that it arbitrarily switches on the voice function or phones someone or switches on music. This is just as it moves around. Drives me nuts!
So I finally bought a Galaxy S5 and I am trying to get used to the size and I am loving the phone and it is all good. Until this morning, when my brand new Galaxy switched the music on by itself. I am so unhappy I can't even say how much. I was so looking forward to having this fab new phone and now I don't know what to do. Do I honestly have to leave the phone at home on a flat surface, because if I put it in my pocket and so much as move a little, then it will simply switch itself on?
I will have to admit that I am using the iPhone earphones because my ear shape simply cannot take the Samsung ones and I can't currently afford to get Bose earbuds.

So I'm on sprint and my s5 will switch the time forward 2 hours every day at random times of the day. I have tried manually setting my time but then my text messages get weird time stamps and don't come in correctly . The only solution I have found is resetting the phone but that's annoying and time consuming.

This has only started to happen today since I agreed to a system update. I have tried a factory reset and wiped the cache but it is still happening.

I removed the battery to restart my BB Torch several times every day, for about the last six weeks, in order for the ringer to function correctly on incoming calls. I have checked and re-checked the Profile settings, without finding anything wrong. It rings correctly for a while, then stops. Very irritating for me as well as for clients who phone me and do not get a response!

Sorry I meant to put SD* card not SC. I had a bb tour 9630 that I broke. I got my new one and took my memory card out of the broken phone and put it in my new one. Does not work. Says it wont format. Everything is turned on like is supposed to be. What can I do? Kind of would like to be able to get my files off my card and use it on my new phone.

it seems to happen since upgrade to ICS. Takes ages to get it to restart, (time finger spent on power button) ICS has so far, been more trouble than its worth..

I have started getting a problem with the auto brightness switching itself off.
I keep switching it back on and then after a periods of time... Can't be specific but when I come out of an app or having been watching a video and go back to the homescreen it's really bright and the auto setting is off again.

AT&T is telling me that I can't switch the SIM From my iPhone 4 into another smartphone because the data plans are different. I as hoping to use a SIM card adapter and pick up a Captivate or a future Android release and just switch back and forth as I wanted, just swapping the SIM in whichever phone I wanted to use.
From what the AT&T rep has told me, if I do that I will lose my iPhone data plan when the SIM is put into a non iPhone. Is this accurate? If you have an iPhone that's basically the only phone you can use unless you want to screw up your plan?
Any advice on how I could accomplish doing what I want here, using an iPhone 4 and another smartphone with the same SIM just at different times?

My bb has been switching itself off and on. And I notice it does that only when subscription is on it and it is being charged. But when it is connected to a charger and subscription is not on it, it doesn't really do it. What could be the problem? I have flashed it, I have changed the battery all to no avail.

I just got this new LG G3 about 1 month now and for some reason, play store is all in spanish and then my chrome search show me yahoo.mx.
I have no clue why because I'm in Canada. So once a week I have to disable the WIFI and Data, then clear the cache for playstore and playstore service. Then re-activate WIFI and Data, then its all good for 1 week.

Since the recent update I have had three phone calls that I have tried to answer but as I slide the icon across the phone restarts. I don't get many calls and since the update have only had one call that I have answered properly.

I recently got a gift of an xperia Z2, which i've so much been looking forward to.
after updating the phone to kitkat 4.4.4
the very next day, the phone goes off. i left it to charge overnight, of which it only showed a little lightening bolt, with an empty battery which blinks about the same time as red light that shows when the phone is plugged to the charger up till the next morning when i woke up
And all attempts at switching on as failed. as i have tried holding down the power button at the same time as the volume down button and also tried the little red button next to the Sim slot. the phone doesn't vibrate or switch on

Is there an app or a built in function of the S6 that allows saving and switching how widgets and folders are arranged on the home screen? Some of the widgets and apps/folders I use during the working week are not relevant during the weekend. Is there a quick way of switching between work mode and weekend mode without having to manually delete and re-arrange widgets and apps/folders on the home screen?

I have a 2016 tacoma and a s6 edge. When I stream my Bluetooth music it's good. But when I go to am or fm and come back to Bluetooth, it starts the song at the beginning again. Doesn't auto pause like it always has. In my old truck it worked fine. This is a new truck. I tried an old iPhone and it worked fine. I tried the Google play music app and it worked for a bit and it stopped with that too. Not sure if it's my truck or my phone.

Just last week I got myself a new nokia e72, the first day itself- i started experiencing problems-the thing started to reset itself numerous times. I decided to do a firmware upgrade and still NO CHANGE! The next day it started to spontaneously switch off without no reason. I completely formated both my memory card and phone memory and still the same problem! I gota say, it's a piece of junk! The thing resets itself and likes to off itself! Anybody experiencing similar problems? What a waste of money!

I had a BB Curve from 2008-2011. Yes, I switched to a different smartphone. I have need for access to some of the info that was backed up from my BB during 2010. Is it possible for me to get to this? I was using the Desktop BB software at the time, which has since been removed from my PC.

Why is this stupid phone constantly switching off by itself? The other night it could not stay on for 5 min, every time I try to write a message the freaken thing reboots.Tonight again, busy typing a message, it switched off, rebooted and restarted.When all sort (well so I thought) I try to carry on with my message that was mostly wiped off, just as I started typing again, boooooommmmm we go again.Is there no setting or something? Why does it keep doing it.

I've got a small problem with my s6 edge. Let's say that i have my phone on vibrate mode, after i lock the phone and press by "mistake" the volume key, it switches from vibrating to sound mode. Why is that?? I previously had a galaxy s4 and never had this problem.
