Nokia :: Phone's Screen Went Gray And Restarted On Its Own
Mar 11, 2010
I hope someone can help me remedy this problem before I decide to back up all my files and restart my phone all over again. I had three new text messages two of which I was able to answer. As I was about to read my third text message then my phone's screen went gray and restarted on its own. When I checked my messages, all of it were deleted but I still have my apps and media files. However, I'm not able to send or receive SMS but I can still make calls. I'd like to know what happened or what could have caused this and how I can remedy the problem.
I've done a search and read some previous posts, and cannot work out why my N900 is randomly rebooting.I have manually restarted my phone and checked the boot count is reset to 0
I have attempted doing a nokia software updater firmware update and it confirms i'm on the latest firmware (10.2010.19.1) and i've used the app updater and updated all apps. It has happened before i enabled the extras-devel repository, so I doubt the fault lies there.
Since i restarted the device prior to running "cat /proc/bootreason" i can't find out the reason why it rebooted, but i will update this post as soon as it does it again.
I recieved this phone from Optus Australia, and is running a number of apps from both the ovi store and the app manager. The only apps i have installed from the extras-devel repository are unrar and unzip apps, although i did note that it updated a few other apps at the same time, like flashlight.
Basically on my LG G4 a grey bar appears when unlocking the screen. It happens every 1 in 5 times.
I go to unlock the screen and on my home screen theres a grey bar that builds up like a "loading bar" only halfway down the screen. (Screenshot below) To get rid of it i have to press the return button and then its gone, I've looked to see if any apps were open but nothing. Done a software reset and done the latest update to 5.1 the other day still happens.
yesterday afternoon and this morning today It restarted by itself. Thats twice now in the span of 3 days.. Should I be alarmed about this and ask for a replacement? So far i dont see any issues.. no lag or hiccups.. altho it gets warm when downdloading a lot of stuff ( google play music to be specific)
Does anyone know if we can change the transparent gray "bar" at the top of the screen? I want to change it to clear, because it takes over the top part of my wallpapers. It just bugs me.
I was chatting on yahoo messenger when my storm restarted by itself. After that, I haven't been able to connect to the BIS (can't use Browser, BBM, etc).I've followed intructions from other posts here, such as, of course, pulling off the battery for 5 minutes, and going to Advanced Settings > Host Routing Table > Register Now.When I try to access the E-Mail Setup, a pop up appears "Your device had a problem connecting to the server". So I can'tsend service books.Everything worked just fine until that reboot. I used to get a message "Your device has been registered to the wireless network" each time after a restart but not anymore.
Something weird happened yesterday, which is why I'm on here today. My phone restarted itself twice, all on its own. I was using the Google Play Music app both times, although I wasn't actually listening to anything at the tme. I've never used the app, it came with my phone and yesterday was the first time I actually tried using it.After the second time it restarted itself, I found these issues: my Home button didn't work. When you hold the power button and get the options of silence, airplane mode, sleep, off now I only have two options: sleep and off. When you touch the power button to lock the screen then touch it again, I used to have on my screen a swipe to unlock and a swipe to toggle between sound and no sound. Now I have neither. Oh, and my ringtone and notification were set to silent and the haptic feed back and key tones were on (I had them set to off). Also, I had set up my keyboard with the Swype, and it was reverted to the multi-touch keyboard.
I guess most of these things are no big deal, I reset my ringtones and notification tones and my keyboard. And I can silence my phone though the settings or by toggling the volume button all the way down. And when I touch the power button, I guess it is locked because the screen goes dark. But the most annoying thing is the home button not working because now I have to hit the back button (sometimes quite a bit, depending how far into the menus I'm in) to get back to the home screen.My husband has the exact same phone as I do and he also used the app for the first time yesterday, however he is not having any issues with his phone. But he never seems to have any problems with his, and I always seem to have some little buggy things with mine although this is the most worrying problem I've had. Troubling enough to make me create an account here to ask
I am trying to sort out my son's phone. He said he tried to download an upgrade from some "htc" site and ever since when he turns the phone on it stops and the screen says HERO and stays their. I can get to the HBOOT screen but this doesn't change anything as also when I press the menu button to reset it. Again it turns on and the name hero stays until I disconnect the battery.
turn my screen back into a color screen?I woke up, looked t the device, and the displace was grey, with no color anywhere, not within any appys, nowhere? Nor does changing or downlowndin new themes see me help?Is it broken, or can something be done withough sending it in for repair? I has had about two and a half years of moderate use so far, so I know its that average time to replace. But the longevity is one of the reasons I went with RIM's Blackberry!
I have a 1020 for a few months and there is a very annoying problem with my camera. When i shoot, sometimes it gives me a green, or grey image. At first, it was green screen in the hires image. Then it was grey screen in th hires image and now it starts ruining my 5 mpx images too. Reinstalling Lumia Camera does not give a solution. Is my 1020 dying?
i decided to backup my phone as i had not in a while.It was perfectly fine when backing up and when i downloaded my pictures.A notification came up that my software was not up to date so i pressed check for updates.My computer found one update and i proceeded to update it.After the update my phone appeared to be completely wiped.I wasn't worried because i had done a backup.I proceeded to restore my phone.at one point it became frozen at a certain point.the cord became unplugged accidental and i gave up for the night.i plugged it into the wall to charge it and went to sleep. when i woke up the screen was completely white and it said "app reset". i restarted my phone but it wouldn't turn on.once it did it took about 20 minutes just to fill up the restart bar. after that it took about 5 minutes before it proceeded to security software verification but wouldn't load.the small black black arrow will not leave the screen of my phone.the software security wont update and i am getting very frustrated.at the moment the software security is still going and is only at 8 percent after this it doesn't proceed any farther but simply turns white and says app reset. i have now been through this process twice and just have my battery, sim and micro SD chip out and my phone is sitting next to me.
I recently bought X1-mini, from the day 1 onwards, while opening the camera the phone was getting restarted (its happening sometimes)...Can anybody having this probelm, i'm using Adroid2.1 update.
there is a problem in my z3 device, when I touch the screen down it keep blurring a mix of gray and light red and orange vision and sometimed when the screen is sleep and I want to use the device when I turn on the screen is full black.
My IPhone 5S is about 8 months old and still under warranty.
4 days back faint gray lines started appearing on the bottom of the screen. After another day a small black spot appeared on one side of the grey lines and it has been growing since then.
I visited Apple Service Centre yesterday. They could not diagnose the issue so they sent some pictures to the Singapore team for escalation. I had a word with the singapore team today and they tell me that the black spot is likely due to pressure damage and they will not cover this under warranty.
On being quizzed further, they do not have any clue why the grey lines have occurred.
On being asked how come there are no other signs of damage either to my touchscreen or to my screen body, they hilariously replied the pressure damage is from inside the phone.
When asked how they think I could have applied pressure from inside my phone, they are clueless again.
This is my third atrix phone and I have notice a gray circle in the middle of the screen that is visible on light screens. For example googles front page I have taken it back for the reason.
Redirect me to a post that may already be up or useful. First off, I apologize if I am posting a deja vu post. Secondly, I'd like to know if anyone has a fix for my 9700, I have owned this phone for 2 months, one week in to using my bold, I lost all of my info, everything was gone. It went back to the original background pic and everything. It didn't really phase me because I had only had it for a week and had only put in a few contacts.This morning I woke up to my BB plugged into my Macbook, which is the usual site, but when I unplugged the bold 9700 from my macbook everything was gone again, I took it to the bell store and they said there was nothing they could do, and that "that shouldn't happen, did you back up your phone?" I of course haven't had the time to back up my phone and I know it would save me right now but this still should never happen, I was only charging my phone and now everything on my phone is gone. I play JR hockey and all of my hockey connections, emails and texts are in that phone, I literally have 200+ contacts that I need and can't ever get back.
Due to its grey colour, the keys don't create a strong contrast and they are hard to read in some conditions when light is coming from a certain direction because the keypad backlight come out to soon. Especially indoor I can't read any of the keys. I'm really disappointed when after I installed the latest software upgrade this problem still exist. Is it possible to "turn off" the ambient light sensor that I'm supposing causes this problem? Have you same issue? Some workaround or fix available?
I keep getting " java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" every time I restarted my phone, it doesn't affect how my phone acts, its just super annoying to not know what's causing it. I tried to download the default software from Blckberry site, but it woun't let me download it, keeps say *makes sure all your info is correct and accurate.
I'm a 1st time owner of a brand new 5800, this is my first experience with a touch screen phone and I was wondering since the screen is plastic and I absolutely hate scratches on my phones anywhere but especially on my screen, is there a way to put a screen protector on the screenof the phone and have the touch screen still work, will it be less sensitive or will it work at all?
If there's anyone out there who can help, I'd be grateful. I'm having difficulty updating my nokia N97 software to the latest version; as the current one on my phone is version v20.0.019. My phone's screen keeps blacking out and to restore the front screen applications I have to keep switching it off then back on again. I've been to the nokia dealer with this issue but they sent me back home and suggested I keep trying the update. I've been trying this but the nokia software installer in my computer suggests it cannot find my mobile when connected through the usb cable (even though my pc detects the connection). I dont know what I'm doing wrong, can someone suggest something else and also what is the latest version I can get?
I updated my phone to OS 7.1No doubt i am getting very good battery timing but i am facing a serious issue. My phone is getting restarted itself again and again.. almost 5 to 6 times a day.. I have wipped my phone and tried different things.. Even tried antivirus but still same.
Yesterday I decided to delete all my music library on iTunes, to make a better selection of music to put on my iPhone 4S. After the sync with iTunes, I noticed that some album remained were in gray, and unable to play on the phone. I tried to: restore the same albums remained on the phone (nothing happened, just duplicate the grey files with playable ones), change the music library, take off or put on the marks on the manually manage music etc etc....all the possible solutions that I found on the internet....
Music that is not in my current iTunes will not play, and some are grayed out. Some music that was from my iTunes will work like music from cds, but mp3's wont. What I mean when I say not on my current iTunes, is that I had to switch computers due to mine breaking, so I lost all the music from that itunes and had to switch to a new computer. So the deleting and syncing trick will not work since I don't have the music anymore. Its bull if I seriously cant get my music and have to re-download everything. I thought the music would stay on the phone, even if switching computers. Is there any way to get my music to play again?
NOKIA X6. Within 2 weeks of purchase I found that there is a manufacturing defect in the phone and because of that defect my phone is getting dust every day inside the phone and on the TFT screen, being a touch screen phone dust hinders in touch screen operations. I went to Nokia care on 27.06.2010 and asked for the replacement and they told me let us check the phone we will forward your request to our Bangalore office, so kindly wait for 10 days. But yesterday I got my phone back in the very same condition even I am sure it's not even been transferred to the concern department for check and rectification because the dust on the screen was as it is.
