I have a little problem where im using the phone horisontal i cant use my left hand becouse when i do i am covering the sensor and the screen goes black until i remove my left arm from the sensor again. is it possible to disable this feature? its getting enoying and i am reading alot in the web browser and everytime the screen goes black i have to start over from the beginning again.
Every time I open my phone with my password, it will lock itself within 10 seconds unless I keep "active" on whatever program I'm in. I've had the phone about 3 months. It didn't do this until I called AT&T last week and did some things that were suggested to me to save data. I didn't do anything with the display settings--in fact, I've gone back in to be sure the sleep setting is 10 minutes (unless I otherwise lock it myself).
Got a strange little problem where sporadically my phone seems to unlock to a different screen than what I locked it on.
For example if I have been scrolling down a web page and gone past an article but not clicked on it, locked my phone and then unlocked it a few minutes later and it has that article open like I have clicked it.
I know people may think I've clicked it by accident and then locked my phone but I can assure you this is not the case.
I am trying to track when it happens and it does appear to be mainly when I'm on the browser.
I use my phone to contact my house burglar alarm and as such send texts to and from the alarm using a coded message format.on my old phone i used to save drafts of all the key messages and i could save them all in one folder and with the house alarm number saved as a starred contact it was just click message and send.any easy way to do that on the SII?? Ive tried saving loads of drafts but with the standard message system they all just filter down the message "conversation" list meaning if ive sent loads of texts i have to scroll for ages to find a message from the alarm and then enter it to send the draft.
Every time i lock the screen the SIM locks as well, meaning I have to enter the SIM pin code every time I unlock the phone! Also no one can call me since the SIM is locked. This happened once in a while on 1.6 but since my update to 2.1 this morning it happens every time.
I'm running .313 with a stock theme and no 3rd party apps. However, in the last 2 weeks, whenever I have a DC conversation longer than approximately 3 minutes without it ending, my BB locks up. The LED still flashes red, the DC info is still on the screen, but the only button that works is the power button to turn the phone off then back on. No amount of battery pulls fixes the problem.
My BBBold9000 has locked up on me a few times when on the web and I have been unable to get it to stop showing a 'busy icon' or shut down. Why would it do this and how do I shut it down if it happens again?
Upgraded computer this weekend, and installed 8.1 cleanly from scratch (no upgrade). Now when connected to S5 (with 5.0 upgrade from TMobile) via USB, and I rename a folder either on the phone card or the external card, Windows Explorer locks up and stops responding. I can get it to close out by enabling/disabling USB debugging, but if I just click on Explorer, Windows says it is not responding. Force closing it at that point will shut down and restart the main desktop Explorer process.
I downloaded and installed the latest USB drivers from Samsung today, but problem still persists. This didn't happen with my previous Win7 setup. (I haven't changed the phone setup.)
As extra info, if I create a subdirectory on the phone via USB, even though I can't change the name without a lockup, I can delete the folder via USB without any problem.
I upgraded my firmware from v20 to v30 and this phone lock got enabled by itself.every time i've to enter the lock code..i upgraded the firmware to v50 bt still the problem persists.plz someone suggest me what to do!is hard reset a solution? if yes, how to do it and is it safe?
So I got my new lg g4 and put the knock lock on and when i went back into my settings to change the password I couldn't get into my knock lock setting because user credentials so i changed to the line lock thing and want to go back to the knock lock but its grey so i cant click it....
My Lumia 920 has issues disconnecting from voice calls when I hang up a fraction of a second after the person on the other line. I almost always get a call was dropped message. I had my phone reboot and get stuck on the Nokia splash screen once.
I just got a replacement 1020 due to some Bluetooth issues with the other one and now this one is locking up when it is put on the Nokia wireless charging stand. It happens every time I leave it on the charger over night. When I take the phone off the charger it is completely non-responsive. I have to do the volume down with power button hold to restart it.
If I put the phone on for only a few minutes or half an hour it is fine. I also noticed that when I had Glance set to be on while on the charger with "night mode" set to a colour, the phone would act erratic. It would come on, then go off, over and over again. That is, the lock screen would come on, it would fade away and then go to the glance view, then do it all again.
Seems like the WiFi hotspot stops working once the phone screen lock mode kicks in. Is this true? If so, maybe we need a setting that allows the PHS to keep working when the phone is locked?
I need to know if you have this bug or it's just me. I have E72-1 with 023.002 FW and whenever in stand by mode I press a number key several times quickly, the phone locks for a couple of seconds before displaying the numbers. If I press different numbers in sequence it's fine but whenever I press the same number quickly several times it happens. For example try to press the number 0 five times or more very fast and tell me if it displays them as you are pressing. I formatted the phone but it didn't cure the problem.
The main reason i bought the phone.Was because of a virtually non existent signal on the Orange network.(dropping calls etc).Anyway. To cut a long story short.It will find UMA.But takes an age to lock on.And sometimes when making /receiving calls i get cut off and my router crashes (loses internet connection)!If i go into my wifi settings in my phone (wifi diagnostics). Under UMA it says 'UMA connection failed'.But no 'error' code!!
I have checked my router setings and everything seems ok as it does on my phone. But this morning i contacted AOL router support and they told me that it will not be the router but an issue with the phone!
While i am typing this.It has just found UMA (after approx 1 hour of trying) but if i make a call or receive one , i will more than likely be cut off.I forgot to mention that i have a 'speedtouch'(thompson) router. And am thinking of asking AOL for a 'Netgear'!Would this help?Although my laptop and xbox 360 run just fine via the speedtouch with no problems whatsoever
I am having real issues with my Droid Turbo. I can pair the phone fine with bluethooth fine to Ford Sync and it plays audio fine. The steering controls work fine too until the phone locks or sleeps. I tried many different music apps and every setting in the screen and security settings. It works fine when I swipe the phone to click the button to wake it up it works fine.
Just wanted to ask, after the latest update. It feels like you really need to press down on the power button to get the shut down menu to show up.If i don't press down hard enough or right, the shut down menu shows up then it locks and the lock screen shows up. it's quite straight forward, and I don't remember having to hold down the power button for that long for it to shut down.
I find the E72 not easy to use if you are not looking at the phone, i.e. if you want to end a call, you cannot press the 'end' button by feeling for it. If for e.g. the 'end call' button was the top right button, then ending a call could be done merely by feeling for the first button. Now with the flat surface buttons, its impossible to do so without having to look at the phone. There ought to be laws out there on the use of the term 'smartphone'.
I am a very new blackberry user & recently picked up a used unlocked and unbranded Bold 9000. I am wondering if there is a way to fin out if the PIN is still being held by the previous provider? I really want to make sure that the phone is good.
I had someone run the IMEI on the phone & it came back as clean, but did not list it's last provider (or any info for that matter) in the history. I believe from looking on the phone that it was on Rogers last. The PIN for the phone is 20D56A67, the phone is currently not on a network. Also is it common for Blackberries to be made in Hungry and say "Property of Research In Motion" on the sticker under the battery? My roomate has a curve and it doesn't say that.
I'm very pleased with my LG G4 - a great phone BUT have one major issue which is wrecking my life. Whenever I press to go to my "Home Page" I am asked to select between Home and Easy Home - I select "Always" for Home but it continually asks me to select between Home and Easy Home most of the time.
Always isn't always on my phone?? I have gone through everything multiple times - to be able to Disable Easy Home is greyed out on that screen.
This is a company iPhone. It stated passcode is expired; I changed it. Now new passcode comes up invalid and locks phone for longer and longer periods.
I take really good care of my phone and had the iPhone 3G for 2 years and didn't have any problems with scratches on the screen. Now with the iPhone 4 I have taken even better care of it and it is covered in scratches some seem minor but some seem deep and make it look weird when you look at it with the screen on. Once I noticed this it made me really mad because it is supposed to be a stronger screen.
I just got the LG G4 and everytime I hit the Home button, a window pops up for me to choose Home or Easyhome. No matter how mant times I select Home and select use as default, it still pops up every time. Even if I go to settings and select it there..same thing, the widow still pops up.
I am trying to think ahead as I am eligible to purchase the 4G at end of June.I have rock installed and have done some back ups with this.How will I keep my JB apps moving to a new phone?
Will rock recognize my id once I JB the new phone and re-load rock on to it?
I Have ios 7.1.2 on my iPhone 4 and I was told that it was not intended for iOS 7. How can I revert it? Because it's pretty much a useless apple product now. It's always freezing and really want iOS 6 back
Since getting my new phone - Samsung s6 in September I have been using it for screen mirroring with my TV to watch some movies and stuff. So decided to watch some more today and the screen locks after a time, say 10 mins.
How I change this? Non of the options I have seen allow this to be disabled they just allow for it to be longer. 10 for screen turn off and 30 mins for lock is the most I can get.
I have a 8330 and just did an update. Before the update to access the addressbook all I had to do was hold down the talk button for about 2 seconds and my addressbook would appear. Now after the update it no longer does that. It just goes to my call log/previous calls. Is there a way to get to the addressbook instead of having to go through the main menu and then down to addressbook?
