Broken Phone and No Idea Why...

I have an android Samsung Galaxy...not sure of the exact model. Anyway, tonight I posted a picture to Instagram which was successful. I then tried to scroll down to view recent photos and the screen suddenly froze and then began to change to a lighter color like it was fading. I then took the battery out (I'm used to this because it freezes constantly) and when I put it back in, instead of getting the Samsung logo like I normally do, the screen begins to fill with little pixels of color. The screen fills in and then changes from light to dark to light colors. No matter how many times I take the battery out and put it back in, I get this same thing. I even tried plugging it in--the phone doesn't charge and I get the same thing. Anyone have any experience with this or any idea what might be wrong? I am so sick of this phone breaking on me...I just got a replacement two months ago because the button to turn the phone on and off broke. It is just getting ridiculous at this point.

Yea at first I thought maybe after it was on for a While you could see something but it Sounds Like your Display is Shot) I was going to Ask how old it was but i found at the bottom of your post this phone is a Replacement phone Yikes somebody else's trouble that was sent in to Verizon then Sent on to you.
That's why I'm not in Favor of the there Replacement Phones Program) You may get a Phone that will go to the End of your Contract and then again you may get a piece of I can't say with out get Moderated..
Well what i would DW is I would take it to your Local Verizon and see if they can Replace it for ya ) I know it'll be for the same possible Model but they may Step you up a Model.. You Just have to Check with the Store an see Hopefully they'll Warrant it for the Display Good Luck.. b33

HT1937 I tried to update to the newest version for my iphone and for some reason I am getting a restore the iphone on my phone and computer. Why is this happening, I dont want to loose all my info and have to put it back in.

Help Please!! my computer won't finish my update for my iphone and it says it needs to restore my iphone. I don't know why it is doing this? If I restore the phone with itunes it will wipe out all my media and contacts and I don't want to do that. But I can't use my phone it just shows a pic of a usb port plug in to a itunes note. Can anyone answer how I can get the iphone back to normal because I can't even use it.

Monday I ended up on the phone with Apple Support just to be sure I was doing the right thing and to check my back up info so I could be sure I didn't loose important data. They were very nice and helped me finish the process. When I told the tech that I couldn't download the new update and install from my iphone that is when I went to the computer and that's when I got this recovery mode thing on my phone. He told me there must have been a problem and that is why he thinks I couldn't down load it from the phone. I had to go to ITunes on my computer. Once we did the recovery we were able to check that I had a back up from the day before, so I didn't loose anything. He stayed with me til the process finished. I also found out I can prevent the auto sync for the future by setting the directions on that.
I am good now and my phone is operating fine, with the new update. Thank you all who commented back to me.

Broken Phone and the Cloud

My phone just recently broke about a week and a half ago and I am trying to get my things from my cloud, to my computer so I can save them to my external, however I cannot figure out how to do this? Can anyone help?? Broken Samsung Galaxy SIII user...

@mamaicooter,
A broken phone is never a fun time! You can download the Verizon Cloud desktop app here http://vz.to/IsygQ6 and back up the Verizon Cloud content to your computer.
You can also wait until you activate the new phone on your line and just sync the content back to your phone from the cloud.

HT1277 I am missing emails on my Mac but are showing up on my phone. Any ideas why?

Does anyone know why I am missing emails on my MacBook pro but am getting them on my phone and iPad?

What kind of mail account -- POP, IMAP, or other?

My phone doesn't have the App Store icon. I don't have a jail broken phone and I restored it but it still doesn't have it. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I updated my phone to iOS 7 and ever since then I don't have the App Store. It's really frustrating because I have restored my phone and it still doesn't have it. I don't know if it can be fixed, but if anyone knows how to fix it please let me know!

I figured out how. Go to settings> General make sure restrictions are off

Broken phone and just added Total Mobile Protection

I dropped my phone and the screen is cracked. The phone will turn on, but not the screen. It's pitch black. What is my best option at the moment? I'm a college student and don't have enough to buy a new phone out of pocket.

Best option is to pay the $99 or whatever deductible to get your phone replaced seeing as how you pay for TMP. Contact Asurion. Mobile Protection Insurance - Technology Warranty Support | Asurion

After upgrading my 3gs to ios5, I get 2 copies of pictures synced from my computer, 1 in the Photo Library and another in a library with the same name as the folder I put the pictures in to put on the phone. Any ideas why?

When syncing pictures from my computer to my I-Phone I get 2 copies of the pictures, 1 in the Photo Library and another in a library with the same name as the folder I put pictures in to put on the phone. This started after I upgraded to ios5. I have tried re-installing I-Tunes. I have not reset the phone. My main concern is the amount of memory pictures take up on the phone. It's not a problem now but could be in the future. Any Ideas on why this happening?

It has always been this way. it was never different. This is how the iphone handles photos - always has.
There are NOT two copies, There are simply two ways to access the very same photos. All synced photos will ALWAYS be under Photo Library ( you can look at all photos at once this way or do a slideshow of all photos). Those very same photos can also be accessed from the individual folders so you can show or slideshow just that folder.
Just as a book can be in the library and in the fiction section, there is only one book/photo.

Distracting audio popping in T61, and no idea why!

Hey,
My laptop had been giving me trouble, so I recently did a restore to factory settings and started from scratch. Now, everything works pretty much perfectly, except the small audio popping issues I had before seem way, way worse now. I used a DPC latency checker and found out that mine is hovering around 3300 or so, with frequent spikes to 78000 (the popping is extremely noticable then), which from all my research is way too high.
Is there any easy fix for this?

I purchased music on my iphone and the not the itunes store on the computer, so when my phone with my music on the broken phone and not on my new one i was wondering how i can get them put back on?

Hello my name is Nolan, I purchased songs for my iphone on my iphone itunes app, not the itunes on the computer, the first iphone I had broken and i have an replacement I was just wondering if someone can put my songs that I purchased back on my itunes account?
Thank you, Nolan Smith II

You should have transfered them to your computer.
You buy only one download.
If you are in the U.S. then you can use the newly released beta version of the cloud to get the music

Why can't folders be bigger on the homepage of IPads,phones,and pods?, Why can't folders be bigger on the homepage of IPads,phones,and pods?

Why can't they uses the swipe feature like they do for multiple pages of apps? It gets frustrating having a whole bunch of folders that have the same content.

They probably can. They simply do not.

Broken phone. Still in contract. Can I pay ETF and sign back up with Edge?

Please help me with the best option for my situation: I have a broken phone and about a year left on my contract. I ultimately would like to get on edge when I ge ta new phone. Would I be able to pay the early termination fee to get out of my contract and then sign back up with edge on my same family plan? Is there a better option for me?

vette311,
Ouch, sorry to hear about your phone. Let's find out what the best option would be to get you into a new device. Is they device physically broken? Is there water damage to the phone? If you have insurance on the line you can always make a claim: http://bit.ly/07CrqPK
When are you actually able to upgrade on your line? You can always check that by dialing #UPG from the Verizon Wireless device. Or you can always log onto your My Verizon to check the date as well. Please keep us posted.

I am trying to download apps but it say I need to update to 4.3 but it won't let me update. I have the most recent itunes. any idea why? I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated. Am I just SOL??

The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.

I have iPhone 5 IOS 8.1.2; for past 13 weeks I get message that my phone has not backed up on the cloud. Every night however the wifi is on, phone is connected to power, and screen is locked. Any idea why back-up is not happening ?

I have an iPhone 5 IOS 8.1.2;
for the past 13 weeks I get the message that "this phone has not been backed up on the cloud". However, every night it is connected to wifi, phone is connected to power, and the screen is locked. Any idea why back-up is not happening ? By the way, I do not have the "back up now" option in Setting / iCloud.. Help anyone ?

Try deleting an other icloud backup and see if it will automatically backup.

HT1212 I have no idea why suddenly my iPhone5 will not move past the Password screen; also, a voice describes each button I touch, and ends with "screen locked" (not "phone locked").

I have no idea why my iPhone5 suddenly will not move past the PW screen; a "voice" identifies each button touched (the Slide button, for example) or the PW buttons, and then ends with "screen locked" (not phone locked).

I believe you have Voice Over on:
You have to tap, then double-tap to select the numbers to enter your passcode.
Then:
Press Home.
Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
Tap General. Then double-tap General.
Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
