the phone is locked.. like where you push the button at the top and it says "keypad is locked. press the lock button to unlock"
Thanks that is what I was asking. That's just a screen/keyboard lock.
Ok so you can easily unlock with the top edge button.
Have you rebooted? Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.

My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me mad having to put my pass code in all the time and the screen keeps going blank :( HELP!

My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me crazy as the screen keeps going blank and I have to constantly put in my pass code every few seconds. Can someone help me out please. The pass code lock is set at 10 minutes but it's happening every few seconds :(

I've run into the issue and it seems to be related to an app not fully supporting the iOS you're on, the reboot doesn't usually solve it.
I've solved it in the following manner(s):
1) Backup the device to iCloud, then erase the iPad (Content and Network Settings).
2) Setup the iPad and choose to restore from iTunes/iCloud Backup (wherever you backed it up)
3) Perform any software updates
I have not tried simply performing the software updates (which may fix it, but if it doesn't you won't be able to perform the above steps).
Enjoy.

Some of my folders seems to keep locking itself by default.

Some of my folders seems to keep locking itself by default. Even after i mannualy unlock them, once i open it again, they're listed as locked again (and worst: keep asking for a password anytime i want to move or delete any files in it). Any adivice?

If you want to report this to your system admin that would be with your email provider and not Thunderbird. Thunderbird is email client software that runs on YOUR computer. You are the admin of your computer.
What is the error message that is returned with the email? That tells you why the message was returned.

My iPod touch keeps locking itself, HELP!

Recently my iPod touch (2nd generation) would not lock when I'd push the button. Now I'll be using it or an app and it will lock itself time and time again! Anytime I unlock it, it relocks by itself and when I do unlock it, then the power off comes on the screen. I've never had any problems with it before. I've tried restarting it but it just goes and does the same thing! It's gotten to the point where it's just too much of a hassle to even try and use it. Suggestions??

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Force an app to close: Hold down the On/Off button for a few seconds until a red slider appears,
then hold down the Home button until the app quits.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My Iphone 4s keeps locking itself, as if I pressed the "lock button"

I bought a new Iphone 4s,
Since the minute I activated it, it randomally turns itself on and off, locking the screen etc.
Sometimes it stopps for several hours, and then starts to lock again every five seconds.
If i turn it off, it turns back on by itself.
I'm pretty sure the problem is with the "lock button", it sends signals even when i dont touch it at all.
What can I do?
thanks

Storm keeps rebooting itself then says low battery

My BlackBerry keeps rebooting itself at random times. After it reboots, it says it has a low battery. The battery is usually fully charged when it does this. It's annoying when I'm watching a video on YouTube or talking with a friend. I don't know what to do anymore!

Hi,
You can try and remove the battery and allow your device to perform a hard reboot. Next, try to update your PRL by calling *228 and selecting option 2. Last, you can try to resend your service books. Go to Email Settings, press the Menu Key and select Service Books the select Resend Service Books. Hope this helps.

Blackberry Pearl keeps turning itself on and off then searching for network...........

Hi people, not sure if anybody can help however I have a Blackberry Pearl 9105 and for the past 2 weeks its keeps turning itself off and on and also keeps saying 'searching for network' at random times. I therefore thought it may require a new battery so brought a new battery - was fine for 5 hrs and then started doing it again!
Any ideas on what it could be please...............it is quite old now and am due an upgrade at the end of August which is so annoying. Vodafone won't let me upgrade early either. If no-one knows am going into a vodafone store on Saturday to see of they can test it!
But I'm so lost without it - I have brought a cheap emergency mobile however I miss my blackberry!!
Thanking you in advance!

Hey zmblake,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
I would suggest to do a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320, please test before restoring any data to the device.
If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)
How to use BlackBerry® Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry® smartphone from a backup file
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
Thank you

My Blackberry Curve 8520 Keeps Shutting Itself Off...

Moderators, I really need your help.
My Blackberry Curve 8520 Keeps Shutting Itself Off after my power supply got damaged (the cord was cut open and the two small cables were touching each other causing it to spark a little). Now I turn it on and just 5 to 10 seconds later it shuts itself off everytime. The media card is damaged too. Last night I charged its batteries and 5 minutes ago it was already drained. I dont want to lose my contacts, notes or BBM contacts.
Please at least help me diagnose the problem.

Hi dalstongirl
Have you already sent your BlackBerry in for service? If not, I would advise checking for any software updates by plugging in your BlackBerry to your PC and going to www.blackberry.com/update
Thanks

My phone keeps locking and unlocking itself

One day I got home from skateboarding and I tried locking my iPhone and it wouldn't lock. I've never dropped it, and the button is still pushable. It seemed fine and it was in the same spot when I left so obviously no one had messed with it. After a while of people pressing the button, its almost like it catches up to my phone, and then it locks and unlocks itself and goes into little glitch fits. Its so frustrating because then when I try to use my phone it just locks itself and it takes forever for me to be able to keep unlocking it to be able to send a text or do something. Is there anything I can do? unfortunately my one year warranty has expired in september, and my mom didn't get me insurance for the phone. so is there anything that can be done for it? thanks,

Not without a warranty still in effect. You might ask about how much it costs to have it fixed (usually it's swapped out for another used phone).

HT1349 iMatch keeps locking up iTunes as it tries to set itself up on my PC...

I am using iTunes, and trying to set up iMatch, and it keeps locking up iTunes when matching songs to the store and uploading my songs that are not in the store. It just won't finish and basically shuts down iTunes in the process... Apple online support keeps asking me for my serial #, but my main computer is a PC. I use an iphone and ipad to sync with my computer's itunes and thought iMatch might be the way to go to get everything together...

Hello there, deelish.
A great Knowledge Base article that has some valid information is:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
The pertinent section for you would be:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities!

Ipod touch Keeps unlocking n locking itself

I was adding more apps & was on the safari then my Ipod touch started unlocking and locking itself. tried to turn itself off & making sounds like it was taking a picture but I dont even have a camera on it. I think it might be a virus but I dont want to hook it up to the computer to restore it incase it is a virus I dont want it on the computer too! Please help!!

It's not a virus. Try resetting your iPod Touch to see if that clears the problem.
To Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Nokia 6233 keeps swiching itself off

Hi,
I have a 6233 which keeps turning itself off if I put it in a pocket. Its fine if left on a table etc.It does it without any keys being pressed and even with keypad locked.It can also take a couple of minutes before it will allow itself to be switched back on.Any ideas or is there a fault within the phone?

Does your 6233 go in your pocket alone? or do you have other items in the pocket at the same time? You can check some things first:
1) Battery - it may be worn-out (test with a spare if you have)
2) Battery contacts - check if they are clean or soiled, or maybe the battery may be sitting loosely in the compartment (have a service center take a look at it)
3) On/Off switch - may be malfunctioning or loose, thus pressed accidentally (have a service center take a look at it)
