After installing apps, dead spots on my touchscreen

i updated my phone yesterday and everything worked out fine. well last night installed three apps (Yellowpages, AOL radio and Midomi) and then i went to my google maps and all the buttons on the bottom row didn't work except for the find my location. then i checked my other apps. the volume slider on my music player don't respond but all the buttons on the bottom do work, like artist album etc. then i can't text message cause when i touch the input text box it doesn't respond. seems to be that it might be software failure cause that section of my screen isn't completly out just doesn't respond with certain apps. i'm away from my house for the weekend so i have yet to restore it. i'll try that when i get home tommorow, but has anyone else experience the same thing?

hey guys. I have been having an issue with my touch screen as well, but I have NOT upgarded to the new software/firmware.
The bottom 1/8 inch of the iphone touch screen is unresponsive. Say I am in Text message screen. If I try to use the Numbers button or space bar or even the send button, they do nothing. This happens on any screen where the keyboard pops up (Text, Email, notes, web browsing when entering passcodes...etc).
my self troubleshooting...
1. I have powered off the phone and powered back on.
2. I have synched my phone
3. I have reset the phone (reset the settings under General)
4. I have restored my phone (not updating to new software)
Now I have just installed the new software/firmware and I am having the issue still.
I can use the slide to unlock the phone but I have to have my finger towards the top of the slide button to get it to drag/move.
Any help would be appreciated.

  • Should you restart after installing apps?

    Is it recommended to restart your iphone after installing or upgrading an app via iTunes sync?

    It has been recommended by some developers. It is not a universal recommendation , however. If you feel better doing it, by all means, go ahead. It only takes about 2 minutes.
    Best of luck.

  • Auto-reboot after 'installing' apps/upgrades to find after reboot app/upgrade HASN'T been installed..

    Received my blackberry curve 9360 back from repair today, and due to the nature of the fault with my phone I was sent another device. Everything started up and was working fine, setup worked great and I upgraded to 7.1 and it was all fine. Then I went onto App World and downloaded the latest version which worked. However when I came to trying to download some apps and upgrades for instance the latest blackberry messenger upgrade, the installation would progress until it was complete and upon the installation bar reaching the end my device would reboot. After the reboot I find that the upgrade hasn't been performed and that it was never installed.. This keeps happening over and over again.. How can i fix this? it's incredibly frustrating as I can't upgrade or install any applications! 
    Thanks to anyone who can help! 

    Hey ChrisWatkins93,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    How much free memory is on the BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone?  Go to Options>Status to find this information.
    To determine if this a operating system issue, I suggest following all the steps in this KB article: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
    Then test out BlackBerry App World™ afterwards to see if the issue is resolved.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Mac cycling through blue startup screen and desktop after installing app...

    Hi again folks! I'm hoping I can pick your brains on this one, as it's got me scratching my head here...
    My fiance just accidentally installed a 64bit version of Handbrake on her white macbook (running Leopard 10.5.8, I believe). The battery on her macbook is completely drained (to the point where it won't hold a charge at all), so she has to keep the laptop plugged in at all times. Supposedly (I wasn't actually there for this event), the laptop got unplugged during installation of this 64 bit app.
    When she plugged the laptop back in, it boots into the desktop for about 1 second and the goes back to the blue screen for about 6 seconds, and then back to the desktop... rinse and repeat.
    Now I've tried getting her to do a safeboot, which appears to do something similar (she gets the Safeboot login screen, except when she tries to login in, it just kicks her back to the login screen.)
    What to do? I'm in another city right now (go figure) and can't actually fix it for her other than providing directions to her. I will have access to the laptop by sometime tomorrow, so I can take a shot at fixing it from there...
    Does anybody have any suggestions of things to try in the meantime?
    Seems to me, if it's just a matter of having a 64bit app installed on a 32 bit kernel, this should be relatively easy to fix... yes? Thanks for reading.

    I would do the disk repair to start. If the drive is OK then you may be able to do the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Hangs in a continuous loop after installing apps from BB site

    I installed an app from the BB download pages for my 8700 and the device could not restart but got hung up. The LED flashes red and the screen and hourglass cursor go on and off in a continuous loop. Removing and reinserting the battery does not help. It resumes the continuous loop. Who can help?

    Something is broken in Blackberry Device filesystem that causes the problem.
    Device in that condition is available for Blackberry Desktop Software for a very short period of time - when it starts.
    Use JL_Cmder utility to wipe your device memory when the device is available for this short period of time.
    It is not easy to catch the moment - but let's try.
    After wipe - download the RIM OS here
    and install it on your PC. After that - connect device to PC, run Blackberry Desktop Software to install OS to device.
    If that does not help - bring your device to repair shop to wipe the device memory.
    There is nothing broken on device hardware, it is a severe software failure.
    Unfortunately RIM does not provide a hardware button to reset the device to factory settings.
    Try this utility.
    Hope this helps.

  • Issues after installing apps r12.1.1 on IBM AIX server 6.x

    hi ,
    I have done the single node Apps r12.1.1 installation on IBM AIX 6.x server. I am requesting someone to please help me with the following issues.
    1. The installation has happened on a single node..single dir structure /U02/….. At present, I am able to open all HTML pages, but not any form. While opening forms, its giving following error.
    FRM 92101: There was a failure in the forms server during startup. This could happen due to invalid configuration.
    Please look into the web server log files for details.
    2. At present commands and TOPs don’t work (e.g. sqlplus, or $APPL_TOP etc). How they can be setup so that the commands can be run anywhere and cd $XXX_TOP commands can be issued to move to respective TOPs.
    3. I ran the adautocfg.sh after implementation. While running, I saw that it configured the XXX_TOPs. But, unable to use them. What else is required to be run? Did I miss out on any other files?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Cannot open pdf files after installing app

    I have installed the adobe reader app on my tablet but when I try to open a pdf file it downloads and when I try to open it from my downloads it says cannot open file. Please help!

    Can you share the sample pdf file where you are encountering this issue? Also possibly a screenshot of the error you are receiving?

  • Need help troubleshooting slow startup after installing apps

    I'm relatively new to OSX (though not new to computer administration and Unix/Linux) and I need some guidance troubleshooting my slow booting Macbook.
    I've got a vanilla Macbook that can installed with 10.5.5 and I've since done the upgrade to 10.5.6. I didn't have any problems until I started installing some heavier apps like the Adobe CS3 suite and MS Office (I know, I should get iLife, but I have an available license of Office.)
    Since doing these installs, it has noticeably, but not drastically, slowed the start-up time of my mac. The slow down starts in the blue screen part of startup and is most noticeable as the dock and the menus load.
    (I've read about Searchlight indexing, which would make sense since these are both big suites, but it's had several hours of run time to do this and many reboots and it's still a problem.)
    I have my suspicions that Adobe is mostly the culprit here, but I'm not sure where to look for start-up logs and configuration info. Are there any apps out there like Start Up Control Panel (www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml) for OSX? Are there any places that would be a good place to start looking? I basically want to try to make sure that only the necessary stuff is loading at start-up and and none of that "helper app" crap that was so common in windows environments.

  • Ipad1 ios5.0 after installing app doesn't keep on app kicks off before launch I already uninstalled and reinstalled I closed all open apps I turned iPad off and back on this isn't the first app this has done it to either any other ideas? Pls?

    IPad 1 iOS 5.0 isn't responding to app that is 5.0 or later requirements tried uninstalling reinstalling also also turning on and off iPad closing other apps nothingworking app doesn't launch any ideas?

    CS1 is not supported in Leopard if you had it working at some point you were lucky. Adobe does not plan on updating CS as it is an old version. Keep in mind that CS1 is now the last version that can be updated to CS4 now that Adobe has a 3 version update window. At the beginning of March Adobe will start tiered pricing and CS1 and CS2 will cost $200 more that you can upgrade to day. As soon as CS5 is released you will no longer be in the upgrade path and will need to pay full price for the CS5 creative suite.
    If you want to continue to use Leopard then it would be best for you to upgrade to CS4. If you will never need to upgrade then it would be best to downgrade your system to Tiger by either restoring from a backup of Tiger you made before your system upgrade or wiping the drive and installing Tiger fresh. You can't Downgrade the Leopard with Tiger as you could with previous systems.

  • Dead spot on iphone touchscreen

    hey...
    I got the first gen iphone, and recently a portion of the screen don't seems to response. I am unable to click on the entire second row of icon, and were unable to dial number '4','5','6' in the dial screen. i tried searching this discussion and didn't find any info. any ideas?

    That happened to my phone about a month ago after I got back from Mexico. I think it may have been the humidity from going in and out of the air conditioning and the humid air - maybe some condensation built up under the screen.
    Anyway - I was still under the original warranty.
    I made an appointment with the "Genius Bar" through apple's website at the local Apple Store.
    They played with my phone for about a minute, opened the drawer and pulled out a brand new phone, popped my sim card out of my old phone and into my new phone, and sent me on my way.
    They didn't have any explanation for it and didn't know of any way to prevent it.
    But I got a brand new phone for $0. I plugged it in at home and it reinstalled all of my settings and contacts, etc from the last time I synced.
    I didn't purchase the extra year of warranty, but I am contemplating if I should have spent the money.

  • White iphone 4 touchscreen dead spots

    Hello Everyone,
    I just bought an officially unlocked iphone 4 and there are dead spots on a specific part of the touchscreen. When I try to type in the virtual keyboard, some letters, numbers, and characters do not respond; 'w' and '2' and '/'.
    I also tried to move apps around the same positions and they move back as if I removed my finger from the touchscreen.
    I tried power off/on, reset holding sleep/wake button with power button for 15 sec, and restored the iphone to its original factory settings. None of those solved the problem .
    Anyone facing this problem?? Is there any solution to this problem??
    Your help is appreciated..

    Solved (for me)
    I had exactly the same issue - a portion of the screen on my 3G was unresponsive (the lower row of icons on the home screen) but seemed OK in SMS and Safari.
    I tried backing up and restoring to no avail and was all set to book a date with the Genius bar... but guess what? I went to the movies last night and switched off my phone for at least 2 hours. When I switched it back on everything worked perfectly!

  • Dead Spot on Touchscreen

    I appear to have a non-responsive spot on the touchscreen in the upper righthand corner of the screen (when in portrait mode). It's right under the Verizon logo, where the ringer indicator appears when you hit the volume buttons--the icon for vibrate/ring.
    I noticed that when I touch that icon, the phone doesn't cycle between vibrate and ring. I have to touch just to the left of it, over the words vibrate/ring rather than the icon. With my previous two Windows phones, touching the icon worked.
    In playing around with the phone more, rotating it to landscape mode, trying various apps that use that corner of the screen, etc., I found that the tiny area right under the Verizon logo is definitely unresponsive to touch.
    Has anyone else noticed this on theirs, or is it just mine?

        Hello parrotheadfl,
    With today's smartphone, a touch screen that's not functional is not fun. After all, we want you to enjoy your device to the fullest. I'm confident that we can partner together and get this resolved for you. May I ask is there any physical or liquid damage on the phone? If not then I would suggest doing a battery pull, reboot, and retest. Also, if you have a screen protector on the device then you may want to remove it and test the screen's response. The suggestion that xkeyzersozex gave is an excellent one. Try adjusting the screen's sensitivity and keep us posting on your results.
    Thank you...

  • App Store, Pages 5.0, Evernote, and other Apps will not fully function after installing Mavericks. What is the issue and how can this be solved?

    Hello all, I could use some serious help on some major issues I have been having after installing Mavericks on my system (specs stated below). Never has a mac felt ever so rebelious and broken before in my lifelong period of using these systems. Anyway, after installing system 10.9, I had opened the mac App Store upon seeing that applications such as my iWork suite all had free updates. However, when I would attempt to navigate to the updates window, it would not respond to my various attempts. I then tried to get there by the system's menu bar and to my dismay, nothing would work when I clicked on it, not even the apple logo menu. I later quit the application using Command-Q and opened up the App Store by the apple menu option 'Software Update...' instead. Though it looked promising since the updates window did open, all update buttons or even '...more' info buttons were unresponsive.  These same problems persisted even after restarting my computer. I had also attempted to see if repairing definitions would help by booting from the recovery start-disk and using disk utility but the repairs it carried out apparently had nothing to do with my issue. Finally, I was able to update to the new iWorks suite (which interestingly did not replace the iWorks '09 suite) by following the notification that asked about allowing automatic updates which I did.
    Once trying to use Pages 5.0, I soon noticed that all I could do was merely type in a new document and change various options via key commands. Neither the inspector or top bar menus would respond to any place I click. Similarly, Evernote only starts up on the last used note and merely allows me to scroll through it. The top bar menus, the note select pane, and even clicking inside the note to input text are all not functioning and uninfluenced by any mouse clicks.
    I have noticed other apps that will not respond to any sort of input, but I still have not explored all applications to know what the issues of each may be. However there are some applications that work such as Safari, Google Chrome, dolphin, iWork '09 including Pages '09, and others.
    I do hope that I can avoid rolling back my system, but in the meantime, it has been quite the obticle course to use my computer for all of my school purposes.
    Any help is very much appreciated,
    Thank you!
