Siri problem: volume suddenly drops and screen goes dark when turning phone

Hi, just wondering if anyone else has or had this problem. It's been hard to quantify, but here goes.
A number of time, when I  use siri, I will hold the button down to ask a question. Sometimes the volume will drop to a very quiet level so I can barely hear the response. Then the volume will pop right back up to its normal volume. The screen also goes black at this time, and when the volume pops back up, the screen will show the normal info it should at that time, such as what I said, or the clock if I asked for the time, or siri's quote, etc.
Many times I will pick up my phone from a flat surface and turn it on its side as if making a call, and that is when this will happen, as opposed to me holding it flat. It also seems to occur in the morning, when the phone has been asleep overnight or it may be from cooler morning temps.
Any ideas as to whether this is a hardware problem? I've only had the phones couple of months. It's happened so many times now I'm finally seeing this pattern I described.
Thank you for any feedback!
Ps... I've never had this problem with my ipad 3rd gen, even though I've truest to recreate the conditions, turning it, trying first thing in the morning and so on.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...

    Hi frank at luray,
    Does this issue occur with any file that you try to send, or do you find that it's specific to one file? If it's a file-specific error, and the file is large, please try sending the file via Adobe SendNow. (You can sign in to Adobe SendNow at Sign in or create an account | Adobe SendNow using the same credentials you use to sign in to Adobe Send.)
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Screen goes dark when listening to voice mail

    My Droid Charge Screen always goes dark when listening to voice mail. if i want to delete or end the call, or go to speaker phone I can't do so by using the touch screen. It also goes black when I am on a call and if I want to activate or deactivate speaker phone I can't. sometimes I lose calls because of this. any way to keep the screen illuminated while on calls or voice mails?

        dishbasher,
    Sorry to hear about your Droid Charge device not functioning properly. It drives me crazy when technology does not work the way it is designed to, so lets get this fixed! Have you tried running your device is safe mode http://bit.ly/n2EIBZ  or a master reset http://bit.ly/w21WpW?

  • How can I stop screen going dark when playing movies with night sceans?

    When viewing a NetFlix movie, during night sceans, the screen goes dark.

    You don't.
    Usually only the free apps do this, paid versions do away with the ads.

  • Unmountable Boot Volume on XP and screen goes blank before repair begins

    The XP Windows partition was seemingly working fine until I turned on the laptop this afternoon. Took a minute or so longer to boot than usual and I was prompted when it did load to update Acrobat, which I did and it rebooted. Took longer to boot, perhaps two or three minutes and I received an Unmountable Boot Volume error. I rebooted a few more times, same result. I tried system restore to three previous dates over past ten days and was told after attempted reloading that it had failed and I should try another day. Worried about my data, I went to safe mode to back up C: drive.
    The general advice from MS is to use the Windows installation CD to repair the boot sector. With the CD in, Windows will boot and show my normal desktop and files, though will on perhaps the third item to load to memory, the screen goes blank and the loading seems to continue, as I hear sounds though not sure if it is the programs or the repair.
    There does seem to be an ability for it to boot, just not maintain it through full load. Any suggestions short of reinstalling windows would be welcomed. Thank you.

    I was unistalling some usless programs when my laptop died & when I turned it on I had unmountable boot volume 0x000000ED (the blue screen)
    If I hit repair windows it goes to a black screen with the mouse (nothing else)
    Now I tried f8 & then did command prompt but after it had gone to the loading files screen it had gone back to the blue screens with unmountable boot volume 0x000000E
    I DL windows 7 repair but how do I get it to install when I cant get past the blue screen?
    so i decide to repair it my self and then i found this great solution what helps me

  • Satellite L405D-11V - Freezes and screen goes black when watching video

    Ok, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I have had a fault, basically, the computer would freeze at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still going, this could be on start-up, or a few hours into using the laptop, so I decided to ring up Toshiba's tech support and they arranged for my laptop to be collected and sent off for repairs.
    I was able to track the repairs online through the tracking service, and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, it said that they ordered a part, it was in progress and the repairs were finished.
    However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, everything is fine, I start using the laptop everything is fine, then I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so, I power off holding down the power button, hoping it was just a one off, I turn it back on, and load up the video again, it freezes and the screen goes black again, after working out that when ever I watch a video or play a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze like before the repairs. So there is still a fault, but im not sure what to do
    Its still under warranty, I purchased the laptop from Comet, but I dont really want to send the laptop off for repairs again and to find it will come back with the same fault, is it worth sending it off again, perhaps seeing if comet will replace the laptop as its still under a year of buying the laptop, or is it just gonna be worth saving all the hassle and buying a new laptop? If this fault has happened to anyone else, I could sure use some help, and if someone could shed a little light as to what might be wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi buddy,
    Did you change something on configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? Did you update a driver or something else?
    What operating system you are using on your Satellite L405D?
    To be honest its really hard to say why it happens because the technicians test everything to check if your notebook runs properly.
    In my opinion you should try updating the display driver. Maybe its causing the issue
    If not I would recommend installing Windows from Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings. These settings are pretested by Toshiba and should work.
    If you still have the problem you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the repair online and according your posting everything worked well during repair so in my opinion it shouldnt be a problem to contact the guys exactly.
    Explain your problem very detailed. I think everything can be clarified then. :)

  • Screen goes black when making phone calls

    Hi, I have started to use a new Xperia Z2 a short while ago. As soon as I am tapping the screen to call a phone number the screen goes black; I can hear the phone calling but can't see anything (not being able to turn on loudspeaker etc.). The sound works, and screen can be brought back to life when the call is finished. Same thing when I call with my Skype app - really annoying as the video mode in Skype doesn't function. When the call is finished from the other side, I can get the screen to light up again. What can I do to solve ths problem?

    Hi.
    I've got very simillar problem with Xperia Z2 screen.
    Not always, but very often when I want to end the conversation and take the phone away from my head, screen remains black.
    Only power button can help, when I click it, screen pops up and then I can click "END CONVERSATION"
    It's really annoying. What can I do, to make it work ?
    Answers for your further questions.
    - I don't have any protection on the screen
    - I don't have any case or anything

  • Primary screen goes dark when external display is added

    Hi,
    Earlier, when I was on Mac Lion, I always used to face problems whenever an external Monitor was added to the Mac through the firewire to VGA converter port.
    Hoping that Mavericks update would give me a respite from the issue, I upgraded my Mac Pro and to my utter shock, the issue has got magnified in mavericks. The primary screen goes completely dark whenever I add the external monitor.
    Any idea how to overcome this issue ?
    Thanks in advance !

    I meant the mini Display Port intead i wrote firewire port.. Hope it doesn't confuse anyone !

  • Screen Goes Dark When Accessing Email

    Up to now my iPhone has been great. However, starting this week-end and continuing on to today, whenever I try to access email I get to the screen with messages and it goes blank before I have a chance to read or dispose of email. Is this a hardware glitch, software problem or do I need to change some setting? Tips would be appreciated as it reduces by a great extent the usefulness of the phone. Thank-you.

  • Screen Goes Dark when No files Are Open

    Hi,
    Since I installed the CS 6, I seem to have a problem with my display going dark whenever Illustrator CS 6 doesn't have opened files, i.e., the application runs, no files are open, and my whole screen's brigthness goes down. It only happens with Illustrator CS 6. When I open a file, the screen goes back to normal. Has anyone had that problem?

    Unfortunately attempts to take a screenshot to show you have resulted in the interface look as it if were at full brigthness so I can't show you (well unless I edit the screenshot after). But basically the whole screen brightness goes dark until I open a new file. And it only happens with Illustrator CS6. I still haven't been able to solve the issue and I can't find anything on the net about that.

    When i am playing a game, and i go to post something, the screen will go dark and i am unable to do anything but reload the game..would this be related to my flash player because it does not seem to happen to any of the other players..is there something i can adjust?

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:

    Flash   Player version
    link to the game
    If possible, please post a screenshot so we can try and understand what's going on when things go "dark".

  • Screen goes dark when using iTunes.

    i use a ipad for a class and during the session it goes dark. How can I keep it awake? Thanks.

    I would now try the recommended basic fixes and they are listed here.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You could try to sync with iTunes again using your computer. Make sure all of the apps are selected to sync and then sync again.
    You could also try removing all of the apps and then slowly, add them back to the iPad a few apps at a time and see if the iPad continues to crash, just keeping adding apps until it crashes again and then you may be able to find the culprit app. Don't delete the apps from the iPad, just try unsyncing them with iTunes and start adding them back on a few at a time.

  • No Entry sign on start up screen goes dark when I use utility disk

    HELP!!!!
    Everything was fine no strange noises or bad behavior but when I started up my MacBook Pro I get a "No Entrance Sign" (or what-ever it's called).
    I have unplugged all the peripherals (external drives, monitor, etc) but to no avail.
    When I tried booting from a Utilities disk (Disk Warrior) the screen went dark and I could not see the instructions (it was there but very dark and dim).
    Is there anything I can do or am I doomed?
    HELP!!!!
    Thanks.

    Er, it looks like a "No Entrance" sign. It's OK the cats at The Genius bar understood - they call it a "No Entrance" sign too. It basically means you're screwed and need to get a  new internal drive. Luckily I managed to make a rushed back-up so things are not too severe (just expensive).

  • Screen Goes Dark when Magsafe disconnected.

    Thats pretty much is the problem. At least once a day, when I unplug my macbook pro from the magsafe (and ac power of course), the screen will go dark, as if its dimmed all the way. You can kina still see something in good lighting, but defiantly unusable. The only way out I found so far is to restart my laptop. Very annoying especially if I many windows open. Any solutions? I poked around the forums but did not see anything so far. Thank you in advance.

    Thank you, Exactly what was needed.
    The "health" of a battery is the Full Charge Capacity (mAh) listed in your battery info--5451 for yours--divided by the original capacity. For a 15" MBP battery the baseline is usually rounded to 5600. Therefore your health is 5451/5600, or 97 percent. That is a very good number so that does not by itself point to any battery problems.
    The cycle count is basically the number of times the battery has been fully discharged and recharged. A more detailed explanation of "cycles" may be found in this Apple article;
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/
    The only thing I see is that the voltage is a little low. Usually they read over 12000. You may need to run a calibration (instructions here) and check the numbers again.
    There are a couple of tools to save you having to find a calculator when checking health. One is a free-standing application, Coconut Battery, and the other is a Dashboard widget, iStat Pro. Both do the math for you.
