Motorola :: L6 Backflip Security Is Randomly Cesing To Work?
Aug 12, 2010
Ive only had the phone for a day so far and already the passcode screen has just not shown twice. By "twice" i mean that in two "events" I have had to turn the phone off for it to work again. I have mine set on "when display is off" and my display set to "30sec". But in two "events" I would come back to my phone and it would bypass that screen entirely. I toggled the dispay on/off, nut NO. I turned screen lock on/off, but NO. I turned security lock on/off, but NO. Only thing that would make it work is turning the phone off.
During an exam, I can get in trouble if my phone goes off, even if it just vibrates.I've noticed that even when I have my phone in silent mode, it still vibrates when I receive a text message. How do I turn this off? I do not use the phone for anything other than calling and texting; I have no apps or email accounts or google or anything else set up with the phone. I wouldn't even know how to use them, to be honest. I just want silent mode to mean everything is completely silent, no vibrating or anything.
Is Rooting of Backflip and Installing Customized Roms Illegal?What kind of effect these roms will have on the mobile? In Many ROMS they have mentioned as Android 2.2 or Android 2.3.4.
My stepmother is planning on moving to Sprint and said I could have her Backflip after she did. I don't have a data plan and don't plan on getting one soon. If I scramble the APN with her disabled SIM card, then insert mine, will it keep those settings so that I don't get caught with it?
I just purchased the MA device and noticed that while I was out on my first run with it, the workout ended after I paused it. Not sure if I just inadvertently hit 'end workout', but was wondering if the device has a default to end the workout if you have it in 'pause' mode for too long. I only had it paused for maybe 60 seconds while I was waiting to cross a street, then when I hit the button to resume, it said work was already complete.
Anyone know if there is a way to change the settings so it doesn't auto end (if that's indeed what it did)?
It's been over a year since I posted here, because it's been that long since I had a problem. (And people say the Backflip is not any good). Anyway I tried to add another gmail acct this morning. And got an error msg "unable to establish a secure connection to server". After trying several times over a few hours, I began to wonder if it was Google or not, so I tried a hotmail account, same basic errror msg. Tried to check for any updates, and got the same basic msg.I can access websites through the browser, just not do anything related to system files.Talked to AT&T (No Help of course), as far as I can tell all settings are correct, even though I know there is a setting somewhere that is not right.
My phone was working ok until I had to turned it off during the boot process when an important meeting. I turned it off by removing the battery as I didn't it to wait the boot process. After that the phone just don't finish booting up. I can see the blur logo, then goes into the at&t logo. Sits there for few minutes and reboots.
since i upgraded my backflip from cupcake to froyo 2.1, my phone keeps restarting itself especially when i try to perform multiple operations. it also gets very hot during charging. as it is the moment, i dont enjoy my phone.
What can be done to improve battery life on the Backflip, without turning off Happenings and email? It seems to shut off constantly. Is this normal or does it need exchanged?
I check my 'Happenings' and find there are hundreds of new messages, which is weird because I keep up with reading the new ones as they come in. As I page through them, I find that the 'new' happenings go from current messages to some that are a week old...in other words, happenings that I've already read a week ago are coming back as 'new'. This has happened several times.
i turned off my backflip for recharging earlier today. when i turn the device on now, it just keeps rebooting. i will see the Motorola Blur logo, then the ATT 3G animation, screen goes black, then comes Motorola blur logo again, follows by the ATT 3G animation. it seems like the phone is stuck in a "rebooting loop".I tried to pull the battery out and put it back it, it does not help.
So, I tried updating my phone to 2.1 via the method provided.Using an SD card reader I have confirmed that the .zip is on the root drive of the SD card, and is also the same name as it was when downloaded.However, when I go to About Phone -> System Updates, it notifies me that my system is up to date and no updates are available.
My BACKFLIP will reboot itself every few minutes. I don't have to be using it or doing anything with it and it will just reboot itself. It will reboot during a call, texting, charging or any other time it decides to do it. I have done several factory resets and it still does it. It has worked fine for almost 2 years and about a month ago it just started rebooting. There's nothing I've tried that will resolve this problem. The way it looks on the BACKFLIP page its a major problem with a lot of the BACKFLIP phones. This is the second BACKFLIP my family has had the same problem with. My brother just got tired of messing with his and got a new phone. If I could afford the upgrade charges of a new phone I'd do the same thing!
How can i keep my phone from going over its data plan? Is it connected to the internet all the time? is there a way to disable it when i dont want it to be connected what all things on the phone incur data charges ?
How do you set up a calendar account on the backflip?I ahve it on my home page, but every time I try to use it, it says I need to set up an account first.
My phone was not connecting to the wifi so i did a factory rebst and now when i try to log into my motolur account it says that the blur service is unavailable.
This maybe and mote point but i get a notification that it will not install this due to security issues even though i used the link that amazon sent as text to link it to my amazon account?
Att is suppose to be getting me a new unlock code for my backflip, so that I can switch to Tmobile,Once my phone is unlocked, will I be able to remove the ATT bloatware or compile the android OS released from motorola without it?Will any other ATT restrictions on the phone be lifted once it's fully unlocked?
Many of the reviews and first looks say that the BackFlip has "Voice Memo/Dialing".I've found the voice dialing, but no voice memo.There are Voice Memo apps on the market, but did one really come with the BackFlip or not?
My Nokia N95 can receive a Calendar appointment from Outlook via "Send To Bluetooth". My BackFlip doesn't seem to support the appropriate bluetooth profiles and Windows says "Could not connect..." on Calendar send attempt, even though it is paired.
I just got a backflip... when I first boot it it needs me to create a blur account while trying it fails with service is temp. unavailable and theres no way for me to enter the OS.do I have to wait until servers is ok again??
I have had my Backflip for almost a year now. The first three months or so were great! I had no problems with the phone at all. Now there is alot of problems with my Backflip. But the problem about my phone that irks me the most is that EVERY time I take a picture with my phone, it freezes and reboots. This is EVERYTIME!!! It's gotten to the point where I'm really tempted to throw my phone out the window. I also considered whether or not to get a new phone altogether because the camera problem isnt the only problem I have with this phone
I purchased a used Backflip and almost immediately started having the re-boot issue, which I since have learned is very well documented. Next time I'll research the forums b4 buying!My Backflip would spontaneously re-boot and then get caught in a constant cycle by rebooting less than 1 minute after my home screen (finally) appears. It never seemed to be triggered by any specific action, such as pressing the infamous "J" key, or using the camera, as others have stated.Through my research I determined the first thing to do was a reset to factory settings. That took time, but didn't solve anything. Then I went down the loose battery/business card shim route. I have 3 BN80 batteries. None of them solved the problem, nor did any of the various business card shim configurations I tried. All of my BN80 batteries are rated 1380 mAh/5.1 Wh. One poster claims that there are 2 different versions of that battery and the correct one is rated 1320 mAh/4.2 Wh. So I tried my BN70 from my Moto Karma (1140 mAh/4.2 Wh).
I also have 2 SD cards and it re-booted with either of them, and with neither of them.So I mumbled something unrepeatable, and gave-up. :-( I pulled my sim card and stuck it back into my Q1 Karma.Then I thought...could it be? So I re-tried the Backflip and viola! No problems. It's solid as a rock. I can browse the web via wi-fi and use all of the features. I can open it, shut it, use the camera, push any key (hard), including those on the battery side of the keyboard (even with the thinner profile BN70 battery) and I can't get the thing to re-boot! That is until I insert a SIM card. The very same SIM card which works just fine in my other Moto phone.
My yahoo email account was recently hacked so I changed the password. I tried to change the password for the Yahoo account on my phone but it wouldn't work, so I deleted the account. I tried to re-add th yahoo account but it still won't allow me to login. I know the password is correct.
Once again, I adore my Backlfip; however, there are a few issues I've been posting about lately as an attempt to see if there are any solutions to long-term problems.
I update my apps about once a week (mainly due to the following problem). While updating apps on my phone through the Android Market it will almost always reboot my phone (not on each update... but maybe one out of every 5 updates). It doesn't seem to tie to a particular update.
I've had this phone for about 6 months now and when I charge it, it goes to the white screen with Motorola sign, goes black, vibrates, then back to white screen.I've tried the hard reset where you hold down the buttons, but it doesn't even do anything.
I dropped my phone earlier today and my phone went blank. When I tried to restart the phone, I noticed that the screen was really dark and that I was able to see the Motorola logo when I looked at it at a certain angle. I tried looking through the forums and tried doing a factory reset but I'm unable to do so because once I get past the pressing the camera and power button step, I'm unable to see anything on the screen and it seems as if the touch screen isn't working either. I'm unable to see any options and seems like I can't press any buttons either.
I have a Motorola Backflip Anadroid phone that I used to register my blur account and I am trying to log into it when screen log in appeared before getting into my phone. I am not able to log into the account.
