I don't know if this is a tattoo specific issue, or an android issue. When the phone is locked the "normal" way to unlock it is to slide down the screen with your finger, the problem is that it also unlocks just by pressing the menu key. No need to do anything else.A frequent situation: make a call, lock the phone, and put it inside a bag (hand bag). In this case it's extremely easy for the phone to call anyone in your list of recent calls. It's happened to me a few times already.The unlock procedure should be clear: you need to drag your finger down the screen.
On the Tattoo it shows that the phone is connected. Sync says the phone is connected... but neither Synchronize Now or Synchronize manager do anything.
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.
My menu button loads my 'phone' and not the menu for the phone. I cannot access the menu that includes: hide, move, open tray etc. I cleaned up the phone and uploaded the newest software via the BB desktop application software. I ended up cleaning it up so well it seemed to go back to factory settings as I lost all my apps. It seemed to solve the problem though and I got my menu button to work properly again. I have since uploaded App World and a new theme. The button still worked properly for 24 hours. Today, I turn it on and all is working well but the menu button loads my phone again. Do you understand that the menu does not load, but rather the 'phone' menu pops up as though I'd pressed the phone icon. I wonder if the 'flex ribbon cable' underneath the buttons is misaligned somehow and when I press the menu key, it is loading the green telephone key menu because of malfunction of the ribbon.
I've been an owner of a HTC tattoo for a couple of months now and suddenly it doesn't want to register the SIM card, it just says "no SIM card in phone"
Is this something relatively common or is it likely to be a technical issue?
I will admit to have dropped it one floor onto a spiral staircase, but that happened about a month before it stopped working
And I do actually have a SIM card inside the phone
When I connect my phone to the computer (macbook, using OSX 10.6.2), the phone does not recognize being connected to the computer, and the computer does not show the phone as a connected disk drive like it is supposed to.
My phone reset itself and I lost all my contacts, so I started adding a few which worked OK, but now when I try to add and link to facebook and save contacts it appears to work (saving via the messages screen or via people) but if I exit out of people or messages then go back in the contact disappears.
I'm wondering how I can insert a contact into an SMS. I tried inserting vCard, however the phone seem to convert my SMS to MMS automatically. Since I haven't activated that service, my sending fails. On the other hand, I'm able to view and import vCards I receive (I'm sure my friends are not using MMS either). Is there an easier way to insert contacts other than copying and pasting them?
I have a problem accessing secure mobile websites even though I have used the correct usernames and passwords to do so. In most cases the screen goes white and nothing else happens, when logging in.
Recently whenever I plug my HTC Tattoo into my computer via USB, nothing happens, and won't recongise it being there. No pop-up comes up on my phone either. I'm on Vista. Is there anything I can do short of a complete phone reset to see if that works?
today my phone unlocked itself in my pocket, went on Internet for 80 usd. is there any way to change the drag down screen to a code or something. i mean when you press the power button and drag your finger down. i want a code or something to prevent the phone to "login".
I press the A key and get a message "Keypad is locked. Press the Mute button to unlock". The keypad remains locked, even in my pocket. However, I recently purchased a leather pouch to protect the phone and as soon as I start to push the phone into the case it unlocks. I have removed the battery and done a reboot to no avail. Paid £20 so don't want to abandon it yet.
I'm experiencing an issue with my screen unlocking during Bluetooth calls. I keep my HTC One in my pocket and when a Bluetooth call is initiated from my Bluetooth kit in my car, the screen unlocks and stays on. When the call is finished the screen stays on and I'm having an issue with "buttons" being pressed and starting texts, dialing people, etc.
I've also found that if I lock the phone after the call is initiated, the phone is again unlocked when the call is ended. I'm using one of the built-in lockscreens without a passcode. Is this how the phone is supposed to function? If so, any workarounds or apps to resolve this?
My wife has a Blackberry Curve 9300 on O2 in the UK. My wife locks the phone, tests that it is locked ok, which it is. Then she puts it in her handbag. She'll then take it out a bit later, and the phone will be unlocked, sometimes with something open. How can this happen? The only way of unlocking it is using the unlock button on the top of the device, which isn't easy, even when you're trying to.
I know this is possible on windows mobile HTC phones, however my HTC Tattoo has Google Android on it, which means I can't watch videos that require flash player.Are there any substitutes for it so that I can watch these videos?
Yesterday run my battery empty and tattoo switched off. When I was home and inserted the loading cable and started the device, it was resetted to factory defaults. All contacts, adjustments and apps gone!
My wife has just started using a Curve 8520 and has had it for less than 1 month. In the past few days, they phone has started unlocking itself randomly. She's using the 'A' button to lock the keypad at which point the screen goes off (as I believe it should) and then after a minute or so, it unlocks itself and the screen comes back on.
Alright I have a Droid RAZR, It just sits on my bed until Sandisk Releases the High speed microSD card for it, in a week or so. I cannot install the larger apps, and hence cannot use it. Now I keep it charged, and it just sits there with no service, but on. Now for the last day or two, the screen comes on and brings up the lock screen, like I pressed the unlock button, all by itself, then it turns off again, now wifi and all data connections are off, it just sits there. It does it if I had to guess 3-5 times an hour, but possibly more. And when I got home today, it was FLAT dead, plugging in the usb cord to the computer wasn't enough, I had to plug it into the wall (genuine charger) Let me know if you need any additional info
I have a Blackberry Torch 9860 which has just started a problem with unlocking, you lock it on the top of handet and within seconds it unlocks itself again, is there a way of stopping it from unlocking the keypad? it always used to be ok until today
When writing text in landscape mode using the qwerty keyboard, the text does not display in the textbox. However if I then exit the keyboard or turn the phone into its portrait position any entered text then appears. The problem happens ntermittently and disappears if I restart the phone. The phone is only two days old and I have already had to restart it 4 times.
I have recently upgraded from a 9650 to a 9930. Everything is fine except that when I have the device locked (via the new, inconveniently placed lock button) and plug in a power cable the phone unlocks. How do I disable this? Maybe I am the only one who is annoyed by this but what is the point of a button that locks the phone until you unlock it if other things can unlock it. It wouldn't be a problem if not for the touchscreen which I always seem to be pressing at the time I plug it in.
I keypad lock my bold 9780 phone and the screen goes dark, as it should, and the keys are locked. Then after about 30 seconds the phone unlocks itself and the screen turns on.
I recently updated my bold 9700 using the computer desktop software. ever since, my phone unlocks by its self as well as lights up every 2 mins. This in turn makes my battery die within an hour. I have tried a hard-reset as well as restoring my phone using the desktop software.
When the screen is locked and i receive a notification from Whatsapp the lockscreen starts to go up and down as I'm swiping it, it DOESN'T happens every time, it's like 1/5.
Today it went further, it unlocked the screen and messed around by itself until stops at Skype, I'm really disappointed right now afraid of it get worse, this is a hardware problem?
