(3GS) When my ringer switch is on silent/vibrate, if anything touches or slightly brushes up against it, it vibrates constantly as if I am constantly flicking the switch on and off.

It's getting to the point that when I am walking, my phone just vibrates constantly as the switch is touching the inside of my pocket. Is this a problem I need to sort out at the apple store or is it just software? If so, what do I do?

Despite the switch being on the silent position, it's not on silent.
Oh, and by the way, switching it on and off again doesn't work.

    I'm using windows 7, trying to download pictures from my canon 5d mark 2, but when I click import, the camera does not appear. I've tried changing USB ports, switching the camera on and off, trying a different USB cord, tried a different camera, but nothing. Please help! This problem only started a few days ago on lightroom 3.6, upgraded to 5.5, but still not working. Thanks.

    Can you see the Canon EOS camera and image files using Windows Explorer? If not disconnect the camera, close all applications' shutdown Windows, and TURN OFF the power to your system and ALL connected devices. Disconnect all phones, iPads, and any other USB devices and restart your system.
    Retry Windows Explorer and see if your camera is showing. If so try LR import again.

  • I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked.

    I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked. I had been having trouble syncing music, When I tried to sync, iTunes said it didn't recognize my iPod, even though I was on the iPod page in iTunes which showed the model number and the serial number of my iPod

    I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
    When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

  • PID advanced not working after switching on and off

    Hello there,
    I am trying to simulate the control of an inverted pendulum with the simulation module and the PID toolkit and actually the model runs fine with one problem remaining. When I switch the PID to manual mode and then back to automatic the controller is not able to balance the pendulum to 0 degree like he has done when I started the program.
    I have added the project maybe someone has an idea how to get this working because I am not that familiar with these toolkits.
    Thanks in advance and best regards
    Philipp
    PS: I am using two different models in the project but both have the same problem.

    Philipp,
    The problem that you have is actually a common problem for those who try to use PID for this problem.
    When you try to use only one PID to control angle, the controller is able to keep it up right in the beginning. However, when you switch the controller on and off (going from automatic to manual), this perturbance will make the cart to move to one direction (adding momentum to it) and the PID will try to bring it back to the center, but it will be far away from the center. If you give time, it eventually will bring back to 0.
    In this link below, you have more information about this problem and, most important, tells you that for practical controllers, you can't use static PID for this problem. Maybe you could use gain scheduling PID or cascade PID to also control position also. In general, the LQR controller works pretty well for this problem.

    Anyway, let me know if that answer your question.

  • 5310 switches on and off automatically

    Hello everyone!
    Could anyone help please? My 5310 XpressMusic switches on and off by itself! I thought it was a viru, but some people say it cannot be infected with a virus since its OS is Symbian. What makes me wonder is that it sometimes goes to Profiles automatically and starts to change modes, general, silent, outdoor, etc and in the end it'll switch off! What makes it do so if it's not a virus?
    Thank you in advance!
    Uthman,

    Your phone is not even Symbian, it is Nokia's in-house OS which absolutely cannot catch viruses. You must have a glitch in your software, try a software update (www.nokia.com/software update) or visit a Nokia service point - your phone is a fairly new model, so I imagine it must be under warranty still.

  • Ipod switches on and off by itself - comp uter doesn't recognize

    The ipod keeps switching on and off. When it goes on it shows me all the languages that are offered. Then it shuts off and turns back on again. This is done quickly and my computer can't recognize that the usb is plugged in. I'm able to put it in disk mode but I can't reformat my ipod in that mode. What can I do? It's been 3 days that I've been trying to fix this problem.
    I've also tried reinstalling ipod and itunes from the disk but now itunes can't properly install - I keep receiving a message that says an error has occurred.
    Please help!

    Hi,
    Try doing a restore on your iPod. Hope this works.

  • Screen keeps switching on and off in "off mode" :(

    Hey
    I have a K8T Neo (VIA) with BIOS 2.2 and I've had a strange problem for a while: when the screen is in off mode, it keeps switching on for 1 second and then off again. This happens every few minutes when the PC is on and the screen is in off mode. I'm sure this isn't good for the screen. It happens in Windows XP when I set the power options to "don't manage" as is suggested to get Cool & Quiet working. This didn't happen in linux with kernel 2.6.9 but it's happening in 2.6.12 (this is an upgrade from Kubuntu Hoary to Breezy).
    Now all I can do is set the monitor not to switch off  so that it doesn't keep switching on and off :(
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    kLy
    (btw. I know it's not a problem with the graphics card or anything since I've used the same card in my old machine which didn't do this)

    Sorry, here:
    AMD Athlon64 3000+ Newcastle
    MSI K8T-Neo (VIA) BIOS 1.9 (was 2.2)
    512MB DDR400 Kingston RAM
    Gigabyte Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
    Seagate 80GB 5400rpm HD
    Codegen 350W PSU
    OS:
    Windows XP Pro SP1
    Kubuntu Breezy 5.10 with 2.6.12-9 linux kernel
    I haven't noticed the problem yet using the 1.9 BIOS but maybe I haven't waited around long enough. I'll let you know.
    Thanks

  • I changed my sim on my iPhone n reconfigured iMessage, it configured with my number but when i sign in with my apple id it says username/password is wrong while in all other things like FaceTime, App Store it worked with the same id and password

    i changed my sim on my iPhone n reconfigured iMessage, it configured with my number but when i sign in with my apple id it says username/password is wrong while in all other things like FaceTime, App Store it worked with the same id and password..
    can anyone help me to solve this issue

    i just opened my ipad, started my apple account/I.D. and realized I put the wrong e mail. I was having trouble correcting my I.D on the Ipad so I went to my laptop and make the proper changes/slash e mail address I wanted for my apple ID. I got back to my ipad and try to download an app I can't because I have to sign in my apple account and I can't because it still has the irrelivant I.D/email address..
    So, i did what you said.. went to setting>app store> tapped on my e mail.. it asked me to sign in (with my invalid emails address showing). I signed in with the password I had created. It said "incorrect".. I went to reset password. I reset password, tried to sign in and it says again "unvalid password".. this is getting irritating.  I have been asking and no one knows what to do.

    Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off.  Still nothing appeared on the screen.  I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black.  However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed.  In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on. 
    What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

    just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
    gud luck

  • Iphone 5 - Switchs on and off automatically

    Hello,
    I have just encountered the following problem on my Iphone 5.
    I have bought my phone an year ago and updated IOS to IOS7 and had no issues till now.
    I was playing a game and the device shut down automaticall and immediatly reboots only to shut down again and again.
    Following is the link to the video in this regard.
    http://youtu.be/g9ssPGrZA9Y
    Please let me know of the possible solution to this.
    Thanks in advance

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again. If this does not help, set it up "as new device" How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If still no luck, repeat the set up again, this time without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data causing your problem.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes due to switching on and off, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

  • Nokia 6021 - Switching on and off

    I have just received a brand new Nokia 6021 to replace a 6310i which was developing a fault with the on/off switch after 4 years.
    Well, the 6021 is just about impossible to switch on and off. My thumb is now strained after so many attempts. The only way to it is get the edge of something hard and press down really hard for about 10 seconds and then it will switch on/off.
    Is that how it is supposed to work?

    Is it switching off & on without stop??!! anyway, if you have the chance to back up your data then restore factory settings or even using bluetooth to send that video to other phone first, if it's really not responding as you're saying, maybe a power cycle could be useful: turn off the phone by keeping the power button down until you feel 3quick vibrations and turn it back on after 1min, if your phone doesn't support this option, hmm... while am writing this i've had an idea you maybe changed where your camera should save pics so you might have it already on your MC, if not maybe anybody else here have better solution.
