IPhone :: 4s Camera Blacks Out And Power Off It To Reset?
Apr 9, 2012
I have a problem with my 4s camera. I blacks out and I have to power off the phone to resetHere is my Verizon experince today:I have never been so rudely treated as today when I went into your Ft Oglethorpe GA office.JOSH did not know as much as I did about a 4s! As soon as he saw my screen had a small crack all bets were off! I tried to explain to him that I did not want a new phone, I believe my camera issue is caused by a software problem. Explained that the camera would stop working and phone had to bepowered offf to reset the camera. Told me nothing he could do Apple would not honor my warranty because my screen is cracked.This is AFTER he told me he had seen phones with this issue take longer than just powering off to recover!In front of all the customers he got nasty and said "ma'm do you know ANYONE WHO WOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY ON A CRACKED ITEM!!I was so embrassed!He did nothing to check out my software or reset anything! He acted as though I only came in to get a new phone!I pay monthly for "phone insurance" I could have gotten a new phone when I first cracked the screen but the crack is so minor I did not bother.
I took my phone left this location, called *611 and the tech was very gracious! Told me if powering the phone off and on fixed the camera it was software and not hardware issue. He is will call me back in a bit, because I was driving at the time.I have been with your company for years because of the customer service but now I when my contract is fulfilled I will look into other possibilities if JOSH is the new face of Verizon customer service
I've updated my IOS to 5.1 on my iPhone 4 and I'm getting a repeated issue where the screen will randomly go black very quickly as if it's gone to sleep. It happens predominantly whilst using the camera but on occassion whilst using various apps. I've tried touching the screen to 'wake' it but that doesn't work and I can only reactivate the phone by pressing the home button which brings the phone back to the homescreen.The camera also takes a long time to wake. Often it will open and display the closed apperture image for a good few seconds.Is it worth my while downgrading to IOS 5.0 and waiting for a bug fix?
my out of warranty iPhone 4 power button stopped functioning all of a sudden and it also no longer made that "click" when pressed. What did I do?I decided to open up the phone and tried to do this, (at 4:30 is what I did)[URL]It basically shows a guy who bonded a very very small washer to the bottom of the power button. I tried this and it didn't work, probably because my washer was a was too big, i filed it down a bit, still didn't work, so I just put it back together, i noticed a few things:After Reassembly, this happened: power button still does not work, and doesn't "click"iPhone camera app shutter does not open and the bottom right "camera/video" icons just flicker, I've concluded this is because of the front camera not working.the ear speaker for phone calls is now "crackly".I noticed my WiFi and network signal isn't as strong, maybe a bar less on WiFi and a bar or 2 less on network.
Temporary solutions:A walk around camera fix is that i installed "camera plus pro" and this allows me to take photos and video. If I switch to the front camera it freezes, again confirming the front camera is not working.What should I do next?So I obviously did something when i took my phone apart and put it back together. I did open it up again and confirmed that all the flex cables and connections were seated properly.I ordered these parts from eBay: Power ButtonPower Button Flex CableBack Camera Lens With Flex Ribbon Cable Feedback If anyone has any ideas, feedback, suffers from the same problem, please feel welcome to continue the discussion. I will be posting a reply after I receive my parts from eBay also.
Can I change it to make a different sound? It is embarassing when I am playing a game on the toilette and then turn my phone off and it makes a camera click sound!
when looking through a antiglare iphone screen cover before application, it looks kinda fuzzy. Will the front facing camera be blocked or hindered through an anti-glare cover? Im holding off on pulling the trigger on which to buy; crystal or anti-glare. What are your thoughts?
My husband and I have each had an S2 w/T-Mobile for roughly five months. Several days ago his started restarting on its own any time the screen was turned off (either manually turned off by tapping the "power" button or when the screen timed out) but no other time. It was doing this for a couple of days. I contacted tech support and they suggested a factory reset, which I did. It came back online with no trouble, and he was able to log in to his accounts, make calls, send texts, etc. It didn't restart on its own at all for the couple of hours we had it with us that night. During those couple of hours it was plugged in to charge. We went to bed and the next morning it was completely dead. No response to any buttons, doesn't acknowledge when it's plugged in, nothing. We tried swapping batteries and SIM cards with my phone, and still nothing.
The issue here is that whenever you go to make a call The phone automatically blacks out the screen. I can't see how to disable this. But if the phone is blacked out and you are on another call, when a second call beeps in it won't allow the screen to come on to switch calls.
How this is happening and turn it off. But every once in a while when I press the power button to wake up the phone, it will automatically throw me into the camera app. I know Sense has some type of function where if I lock the phone when the camera is active, the power button will automatically activate the camera again. But in my situation, the camera is NOT active at all or has been opened and running in the background. The phone is sleeping. I hit the power button to unlock, and boom I'm in the camera app. I was thinking it might be some accelerometer type action that is initiating it and that might be the case. But if that's the case, then I'd rather disable this function.
Installed version 3.03 when it first came out onto my new X6, been working fine for just over a week until this evening.Now whenever I open Ovi Maps it works for a few seconds before it freezes, then completely blacks out and finally turns off and restarts my phone!Is anyone else having this problem?I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Ovi Maps which failed to help and have just now completely backed up my phone and reinstalled the device software with no change at all.
I am on my 4th B.B. Torch 9810. At odd times when the keyboard is extended and I am typing an email or text msg. The screen will black out and bounce me out to the main screen. This has happened on every Torch I have received since January of this year.
Having a strange issue where the phone won't power off using the physical power button, the camera keeps coming up, and the phone gets really hot.
Did the soft reset by holding power + volume down for 7 seconds and had it restart, power off, and safe restart, all of which I was able to do successfully, but each time the phone has the same issue when it boots back up.
When i try to open the list of installed apps in the settings menu my screen turns black and i´m back in the programmmanager.whats wrong? i´m using the "best taskman". can that be the reason?
It's my 3rd time of this problem 1 time I took assistance of nokia care center but but they couldn't permanently solve it 2nd time I tried Google the problem and it says to restart if nothing happens restore it, this worked that time, but now the device doesn't responding any of this.
I've seen three or four times where my L950 appears to be shut down. As in the screen is off and pushing the power button does seem to do anything. Eventually I hold down the power button for a while (more than 4 seconds, maybe 10 seconds) and the phone eventually plays a tone and reboots(?) itself.
The phone vibrates pretty strong when you double tap to Power to launch the camera. I don't see any option in settings to adjust vibration Intensity. Just wish I could turn off the vibration.
I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who has asked me to take a look at their E6-00 which has a problem that when a call is received the screen blacks out instantly and therefore she can't see the caller display.
I've read elsewhere that it is an issue with the proximity sensor on the front of the device but nowhere states if there is a definitive fix for the problem.
This did not happen prior to the phone being upgraded to Anna. I have since upgraded it again to Belle in the hope that this will remedy the issue but it's still happening.
if their are any OTA updates or downloads that will sort this out or is it just a "live with it" firmware flaw?
A quite simple complaint - for Symbian S60 v3 - The screen completely BLACKS out after X seconds (configurable up to 90 seconds) no matter what settings you use. (Latest firmware.) I can't find a power-saver disable anywhere in the options. I want to be able to use a permanent screen saver display, such as a greyed-out clock on low power display, or the status + time blue and white stripe. This is fine on my older N76 and many other models. Why has this feature been excluded?
My curve 8520(23BCFD52) has a wired problem. When I am using my phone, al of a sudden my screen black(dead) for few seconds , all keys are working at that time. after a few seconds my screen comes back. my phone also hangs all of a sudden.all this started to happen after I loaded my memory card.
Is it possible for my screen to NOT close when I am on a call? It makes doing anything involving the keypad, looking up numbers or messaes or anything else impossible because I keep having to power the screen back on etc.
Also I very religiously clean out my cache, data when it isn't going to delete important info. etc. Haven't added that many new apps. Have moved EVERYTHING I can to the SD card. Yet, my phone memory keeps going down. Is there a way to slow this? My phone that used to have tons of memory on it is now down to 30%. Tips? I know apps etc take up memory, as does there data etc. It just seems to be dropping more than it should.
hey, do you guys ever get a blank screen while performing a task on ur BB, supposingly texting someone or surfing the web? my BB9700 will have a blank screen from time to time and i'm worried it'll get worst in the future. is it an OS problem?
My power button suddenly stopped working this morning. I think it may have worked once with a really long delay... But since then I have to tap my screen a few times to wake it up. I'm worried that if my battery ever runs flat I won't be able to turn my phone back on.
Then I have realised my volume and camera buttons dont work either. They definitely all worked yesterday.
I'm really not happy with this phone. I look after it properly, it cost me a lot of money not long ago, its kept in a protective case and has never been dropped etc. I spent more money than I could afford on a phone thinking I should buy the best I can and I shouldn't have a problem with it being Sony, but so far I have been disappointed with it.
I'm running stock 6.0.1 rooted with Xposed (only using gravitybox). When I do the double tap on power to launch the camera, nothing happens other than the power button functioning normally. It did work at one point but I'm not sure if it was an app, Xposed or a system setting which stopped this feature from working. I tried disabling Gravitybox but left Xposed itself still installed. I've also tried changing the "Power buttons locks instantly" setting under Security but that didn't make any difference either.
On my Lumia 950, it will reset when I hold down the power button for 10 seconds but this should only happen when holding down both the volume down button and the power button at the same time. My Lumia 920, which is also running build 10.0.10586.29, can have just the power button held down and once I swipe away the power off prompt, it works normally and stays on just like I want.I would like to use my Qi enabled car mount but it needs to push down on the power button, causing it to constantly restart.
