IPhone :: 4s Will Not Turn Off - Held Down The Top Button As Well As Set The Screen To Use The White Key Nothing Works
Jun 18, 2012
My phone will not turn off. I have held down the top button as well as set the screen to use the white key nothing works. The battery also is reading 70% which it has read all day.
I have a Bold 9700. OS 6.I can only see a white screen with a gray bar down it.The phone appears to be working behind it - it vibrates, LED blinks, etc when a message comes in. I have rebooted, & pulled battery. I have left the battery out for a time. I tried a different battery.With the desktop software I have restored a previous back up, i can do a current back up & see what apps are installed, as well.All with no change.
I was on instagram and it froze I hit the power button to put it to "sleep" and I tried to open it back up and its been stuck at a dark screen. I tried holding the power button in order to reset and nothing happens.. When I press the home button siri turns on but I can't get anywhere with that either.
i was txting people when like always when i finished, i clicked the power putton to turn off the screen. it did turnit of.problem is, when i cliecked the power button again, it gave me a white screen and i cant get out of this white screen at all.i dont see the "slide to slide: thing,
recently my screen would take afew tries with the unlock button to actually unlock, now my screen has compeletely turned off, but all my buttons still light up and work, i can touch and use the screen (although not being able to see what i am doing, i have navigated my phone to play music etc from memory) there are no cracks or damage to my screen.
Has anyone else seen some white distortion across the screen right above where you swipe? Its really noticeable on bright backgrounds. I thought my screen was just getting old but when they replaced my phone because of the restart issue(didn't know it was on OS bug) it was still there! I am also having an issue where my volume buttons stop working about every three days, I have to restart the phone to fix it. This has happened with my old one and the replacement.Adroid version 2.3.3System version 4.5.596.mb870.verizon.en.usmeid a00000227b76bf
I have a Sony xperia z5 bought two weeks ago, today the phone suddenly turned off and the white screen with Sony on it just keeps flashing on and off, the led light is red. I've tried the volume button and power button but didn't work, I've also connected it to the laptop and ran repair on Sony comparison, after all this it is still doing the exact same thing..
Today my e63 phone died while I was using the internet so I plugged it into my charger, all that happened was the light behind the navigation button lit up and then turned off, usually my phone will just go into the charging screen and I then turn it back on. I tried with multiple chargers and there was no difference.I then tried to turn it on and all that comes up is a white screen. I took out the sim card and memory card but there is no difference apart from the fact that when I turned it on after taking out the memory card the screen was black with white lines then went completely white.
My blackberry Curve 8350i won't turn on. It just goes to a white screen that says error jam. I've tried restarting it and it doesn't help. I need to get a lot of the information off of there before getting a new phone.
This happens in both third-party and music apps. I have been having problems with my earbuds lately and I'm not sure if the problems are related. I hope that it's just a setting.
my nokia e63 is displaying white screen but can not turn on completely,the navigation keys light comes but the rest does not and the phone consistently goes off.
I am having the same issue as covered in lots of threads before. when i try to turn my phone on (pluged in to the wall charger) it just shows the red led for about 10 seconds and switched to white screen with battery thunder bolt symbol in the middle for abotu 10 seconds and then it repeats over and over again. but my phone does something ive never seen talked abotu on here.
When my red led is on the phone is making this weird noise. kinda sounds like fan comin from the phone. and itll only make the noise on the second time around. any suggestion on the noise and what i can do???? i have gotten a new battery, tried the battery pull, and ive waited 2 days and tried again no luck.
my friend was trying to charge his bold and it was charging but then he got the white screen with the loading clock in the middle, then it shut off and it wont turn back on whatsoever..
My phone got some water on it and was working fine until it just randomly shut off and refuses to turn on now. I got it to start up to a grey/white screen and a battery with a charging symbol in the middle. If I can get back to the screen is there anything I can do for my phone?
Getting quite frustrated with this phone now. I've had my BlackBerry Curve over a year now, and I'm on a 2 year contract with Orange. But I've had this problem. My phone will be fine when it's plugged into my computer or my charger, but when I take it out and start to use it, sometimes within 5 minutes, sometimes within hours, it can come up with this whiteness filling the screen. This leaves me with no choice but to take the battery out.
Then after that it refuses to turn on until I plug it in again. This is annoying me to the extreme because I can spend hours waiting for it to charge, then when it's fully charged I'll take it out, go out, put music on or something and it'll go off yet again. Sometimes it can just cut off without the white screen. Even then it won't turn back on without a power source. I've tried updating the software and that won't work.
My Blackberry 8520 curve suddenly hangs giving a white screen and when i restart it - the screen remains white. After i put it into charge - then only a successful start is done. So the only solution as of now i have - is whenever my blackberry hangs - i need to remove the battery - insert it again - and immediately put it into charging via USB/Electric-Power. Even if i re-insert the battery - the white screen comes - unless and until i put it into charging Earlier i was guessing - my battery was weak.
iPhone 4 Power button no longer works. 2 Months out of warranty, I haven't got $179 to replace it? I have attempted self repairs, made the situation worse.
i have a iphone 4s with ios 5.1.1 the volume button on the side no longer works when you press up or down it just pops up the screen that says ringer and the volume image but wont change the volume. also where the volume is on apps like Internet is a black box and you cant change the volume or anything.
My iphone lock button works automatically. It gets lock automatically. During call also it hangs up automatically and show slide power off button without touching lock button.
Dropped my iphone4 in the toilet bowl. Now everything works except the power button. Will this issue be fixed automatically after the internal parts of the phone are completely dry?
A lot of times when I pick up my N6 the screen does not turn on so I'm forced to hit the power button. What is the "trick" to get this to work? What do you normally do to turn on your screen besides hitting the power button? Or is that my only option...
Hitting the power button does not turn the display on. Actually nothing turns the display on. This began happening occasionally, for a few seconds at a time. Then it became a few minutes at a time. Now it is permanent.
What's truly odd is that the phone seems to be completely working otherwise. It rings, alarms go off, indicator lights flash. It connects to my car over bluetooth and if I plug in headphones and hit the play headphones' action button, music starts. If I hold the power button down, every 5s I get a little haptic feedback, and it appears to reboot if I hold power and volume up (or down, I can't recall), so I know the buttons are working.
I even have a suspicion that touchscreen digitizer is working because I think I've dismissed a few notifications by double-tapping (I'm on Lollipop). Also, I swear I have seen very fleeting, very dim views of the unlock screen a few times.
I should also add that I took advantage of Google's recent replacement policy lenience - this is a refurb I've had for a month or two.
I'm contemplating replacing the screen/digitizer on the theory that this is a broken screen. It feels like the backlight is broken. But I'd rather not spend the $$$ and time if the problem is deeper than that.
Has anyone tried this app? It uses the proximity sensor to turn the screen on. From what I have read, the "lite" version was designed for one certain phone but the pro version ($1.28) is supposed to work on all phones. There are not a lot of reviews as it is a relatively new app but almost all are positive. It is in the Google Play Store under Smart Screen On Pro. Curious to know if it actually works as they say it does. I really dislike using the power button to turn the screen on. I guess I was so used to the home button on the DX turning it on. if anyone has tried it, would like to hear yeas or nays on how it works.
