5530 xpressmusic - unlocking the screen using a sw...
Hi, this is my first post.
I have a 5530 xpressmusic. According to the manual,when the keyguard has been applied it can be unlocked either by sliding the keyguard lock switch on the right hand side of the phone, or by briefly pressing the on/off switch then swiping the screen. I can't get this second method to work. I've installed the latest version of the firmware.
Scouring these forums and the internet I can find no reference to anyone else having this problem. Is it just my phone? Using the keyguard switch all the time is a bit of a bind; and I worry how robust it will be in the long term.
Hey jimmyireland, I've had major problems with the swiping ever since getting my phone in October 2009. At least 4 times out of 10 when I swipe to answer, the phone answers fine, then when I come to end the call I can't. The phone totally locks up, no keys work. The only cure is to switch it off and on. Not much fun ! I called the helpdesk last week and they said this is a 'known fault' and if you upgrade to the new software version (11.0.54) then it should be fixed, I have this now, and will let you know if it helps or not.

How do I unlock the screen on my mini Ipad which is stuck on landscape? I have a green tick in 'lock rotation which I cannot remove. it asys 'use slide switch to ......., but where is the slide switch?
What version of iOS do you have on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Version) ? Depending upon the version that you have you may have a Settings > General > Use Side Switch To setting on your iPad :
In the above image the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume control will rotation lock - so putting that side switch 'on' on the side of your iPad will give you an image of 'rotation lock' in the middle of your iPad's screen for a second or so :
and you should get a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator, and putting the switch 'off' will give an unlocked image in the middle of the screen :
and the lock symbol will disappear from the top of the screen.
If you have the 'mute' option ticked on the above image then you will get a bell icon with/without a line through indicating whether you've muted/unmuted notifications.
As there is only one side switch and 2 things that it could control, the function that the switch isn't controlling (i.e. the unticked option in my first image on this reply) will be controlled (if your iPad is on iOS 5 or 6) via the left-hand end of the iPad's taskbar (double-click the home button to open the taskbar and the slide that taksbar to the right), or (if your iPad is on iOS 7) via Control Centre (swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open it) -

My passcode is working to unlock the screen but does not work with restriction passcode.
Tried it several times but it did not work, though i can use the phone and all features even after 13 failed attempts.
Should restriction passcode be different from what i set?There is no default restriction password. If you didn't set it someone else may have. If you can't find it then you may have to follow the steps here:
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or ...
Do you have a backup which might not have this restriction passcode? If so restore to that backup? -
HT5622 I set up a passcode that will not unlock the screen. How do I reset the passCode?
I set up a passcode that will not unlock the screen. How do I reset the passCode?
If the passcode will not unlock the screen you are entering the wrong passcode. To change or remove the passcode you can use the settings app.
Settings > General > Passcode Lock
The caveat here is that to make changes to the passcode lock you need to enter the correct passcode lock.
If you do not know your passcode you'll have to restore your iPad by connecting it to iTunes on your computer. -
How does one unlock the screen rotation?
How does one unlock the screen rotation?
If there is a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
How do I UNLOCK the screen rotation? It's stuck in horizontal and I don't know what I did!
How do I UNLOCK the screen rotation? I'm stuck in horizontal and don't know how it happened!
In settings check to see if you have Screen Orientation checked or System Sounds checked. If you have Screen Orientation checked, there is a button above the volume control on the right side of your iPad (screen facing you). Click it the other way and your screen will again rotate.
If you have system sounds checked in settings, then on your home page, double tap the home button. The bottom row will be your most recently used Apps. Swipe them to the right until the very last icon and it will be a screen orientation icon, which you'll tap and that will allow your iPad to change orientation. -
I cannot unlock the screen rotation of my iPhone 5. I double click on bottom button, recently used icons appear. It slides to the right, but sliding to left doesn't show the rotation icon.
You swipe up from the very bottom of your home screen to access the control center - if your on IOS 7
The way your trying was the old way. -

2-Yesterday when I tried to start camera I got black screen!! I tried to reopen the camera app sevral times but same problem. When I restarted the phone the camera app opened successfully. Why this happend?
3- Lately when I recive a call and try to answer it by sliding the screen, the screen hangs and stuck there fror 5-10 seconds!!! and the call keeps ringing, it really annoying!!!
In general i got no problem in other apps and phone features its only the Camera app, when reciving a call and when locking/unlocking the screen..... Any advice I will appreciated?

YOU MUST AUTHENTICATE TO UNLOCK THE SCREEN
This is actually the same as issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1203732
Occasionally (once or twice a week) when I return to my MacBook, instead of the usual screen saver, followed by the usual login window with my username filled in... just waiting for my password... it is displaying the "Flurry" screen saver (which I have never used), followed by a strange login box with the text:
"YOU MUST AUTHENTICATE TO UNLOCK THE SCREEN. TYPE IN AN ADMINISTRATOR'S NAME AND PASSWORD TO MAKE CHANGES TO MAC OS X."
No mater what one types in there fields, it is impossible to login. The only solution is to power off and login after the reboot. This is REALLY frustrating.
I have a suspicion that this may be some sort of an attack, but there is absolutely no information on the web about it, except the one post mentioned above (which I guess never satisfactorily solved magnettarpit's problem either.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.I'm not against conspiracy theories, I have plenty of my own!
But I think this is an occasional flaky RAM thing, (well, a bit flipping, which could be CPU, MB, etc. too), a workaround may be to set up the Screen/Wake from Sleep Pasword with a good name and PW, then turn it off again, thereby hopefully when it THINKS it needs a PW, it can find it.

I can't unlock the screen to access my macbook pro. When I enter the password it just jiggles. I'm not getting an error message, so I'm pretty certain that the password is correct. Any suggestions?
I already checked that one.
I'm baffled, especially since it will usually give you the Invalid user name or password entered message. I'm not getting that. Instead the password field just jiggles back and forth. Very odd. -
The bottom part of my iPod Touch screen isn't responding but I can slide to unlock the screen and slide the icons at the bottom but I just can't click on them, anyway to solve this?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Problem outputting to the screen using FileDescriptor.out
I have the following program that reads prime numbers from a binary file. The issue is that the numbers are not printing to the screen using
FormatWriter out = new FormatWriter(
new BufferedWriter(
new FileWriter(FileDescriptor.out)));The numbers are being read from the file as if I unblock the line
// System.out.println(primes[j]); the numbers are printed to the screen.
I have pasted the code below and the code that creates the prime numbers file.
Thanks for any help.
package readprimes;
import java.io.*;
public class ReadPrimes {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File myPrimes;
DataInputStream primesIn;
try{
String directory = "C:/JunkData";
String fileName = "Prime.bin";
myPrimes = new File(directory, fileName);
primesIn = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(myPrimes));
catch(FileNotFoundException e){
return;
catch(IOException e){
return;
FormatWriter out = new FormatWriter(
new BufferedWriter(
new FileWriter(FileDescriptor.out)));
long[] primes = new long[6];
boolean EOF = false;
while(!EOF){
int index = 0;
try{
for(index = 0; index < primes.length; index++)
primes[index] = primesIn.readLong();
catch(IOException e){
return;
// catch(EOFException e){
// EOF = true;
for(int j = 0;j < index; j++){
// System.out.println(primes[j]);
out.print(primes[j]);
out.println();
out.close();
package readprimes;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.*;
public class FormatWriter extends PrintWriter{
private int width = 10;

public FormatWriter(Writer output, int width){

this.width = width;
public FormatWriter(Writer output, boolean autoflush){

Class that creates the prime number file
package bufferedoutput;
import java.io.*;
public class TryPrimesOutput {
public static void main(String[] args) {
long[] primes = new long[200];
primes[0] = 2;
primes[1] = 3;
int count = 2;
long number = 5;
outer:
for(; count < primes.length; number +=2L)
long limit = (long)Math.ceil(Math.sqrt((double)number));
for(int i = 1; i <count && primes<= limit; i++)
if(number%primes[i]==0)
continue outer;
primes[count++] = number;
try
String dirName = "c:\\JunkData";
String fileName = "Prime.bin";
File myPrimeDir = new File(dirName);
if(!myPrimeDir.exists())
myPrimeDir.mkdir();
else
if(!myPrimeDir.isDirectory())
System.err.println();
return;
File primesFile = new File(myPrimeDir, fileName);
primesFile.createNewFile();
DataOutputStream primesStream = new DataOutputStream(
new BufferedOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream(primesFile)));
for(int i = 0; i <primes.length;i++)
primesStream.writeLong(primes[i]);
primesStream.close();
catch(IOException e){
System.out.println("IOExcetoptj");Indeed. It isn't obvious to me what the result of new FileWriter(FileDescriptor.out) would result in, but your test appears to show that it doesn't result in something which can be used to output to the console.
