Device screen not turning off + Media Player Problems

My screen does not turn off, I checked the settings in screen/keyboard and they are set but don't seem to work. This is causing my battery to drain.
Also, I am having intermittent media player problems.
Suggestions?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
Good luck and let us know!

  • Screen not turning off

    why is my screen not turning off during a conversation - when I put it to my ear the screen does not turn off and I touch the hold and all the other buttons while talking. I tried switching it off and restarting it .
    thx

    Try a reset, hold home button and sleep/wake button down together until phone shuts off.  Release the buttons when this happens and the phone should come back on.  Give it minute to turn on completely and then do a test call to see if it is still happening.  May need to do a restore but definitely back up the device before doing that.

  • Why is my iPhone screen not turning off?

    Why is my iPhone screen not turning off?

    Sorry, my previous post was meant for another thread.
    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Screen not turning off when closing the lid

    I have Windows 7 64-bit installed on my MacBook Air 13.3" as the only OS.
    Everything is working great with the bootcamp drivers except that when I close the lid the screen does not turn off. I don't want to turn off the notebook but only want the screen to turn off when the lid is down. I have looked a lot for a solution and am not able to find anything which can solve this problem.
    There is nothing in the power options that can be done. Bootcamp is supposed to recognize this by itself, but unfortunately it doesn't.
    Does anyone know a work around for this?
    Thank you

    That is correct. I have noticed the same thing. Windows 7 gives better battery life on MacBook Air then Mac OSX.
    I went to talk to a Genius about this, pretty useless, told me to wait for an update. It has been half a year but no update yet. This is the only problem with the Bootcamp drivers I have experienced. I have managed to live with it, but is still pretty annoying. I always once in a while think about finding a way to fix it, but there is nothing that can fix this problem. Unless someone at Apple sees and listens to what is going on in the online fourms and fix the problem.

  • Turn off media player (or media keys) on 6350 ?

    I have a 6350 and have loaded media (music files).
    It seems that the media player is always 'On'.  That is, any time I have the phone closed and press the 'play' key, a song starts playing.  This is a problem because it sometimes starts playing while the phone is in my pocket.
    I read the manual.  It seems that the 'media keys' can be looked along with other keys on the phone if I lock the keypad.  This is inconvenient and overkill for my needs.
    Is there a way to do either of the following:
    1) Lock  the media keys only?
    2) Turn off the media player so that I would need to turn it back on in order to play a song?
    Thanks.

    The keys are meant to work like that. The media player is off (s40 doesnt have background app running capability). However the media keys were meant so that you can immediately start playing music with one click, just like on xpressmusic phones.

  • New MSI GE70 2PE laptop screen not turning on/potential graphics problem

    Hi all,
    This is very frustrating for me!
    I've just bought a brand new MSI GE70 2PE gaming laptop for my partner and turning on causes the power on light to blink blue and orange - something i'm struggling to find any information online for. The screen remains black with no backlight or turning on. I have tried plugging the laptop through VGA into my monitor and it also says it cannot pick up any signal.
    This is leading me to think it is some sort of graphics related problem. The disc drive is ejecting, I can hear the processor ticking along and all the fans etc are on - so it's not completely dead.
    The fan is actually pumping out fairly warm air too, when left idle which to me seems a little odd too - I wouldn't thought it would be struggling at this point.
    I have no idea what is going on, if the laptop is completely faulty or its something I am overlooking. It's supposedly 'brand new' - well the box was sealed and this problem has occurred from the first time I have tried to boot it.
    I've tried running it on battery, purely on AC and this doesn't seem to make a difference.
    Any ideas people? This is super frustrating and I don't want to have to get in contact with MSI about this for some sort of warantee job.
    Thanks in advance! 

    Hello hybridoriental,
    Since your laptop is still brand new one under the warranty, I'll suggest you send it to the MSI service centers or MSI authorized service points for inspections.
    The power light in orange means the system is accessing the discrete GPU. Looks like your laptop stuck in a loop before it started the BIOS. Just make sure you installed the battery and plugged the AC power before you turn it on. If it still doesn't work, it would be better and time-saving to send it to someone whom can inspect and take care of the laptop rather than figure it out by yourself. 

  • Screen not turning off during call

    When I am holding the phone up to my ear, the screen goes black, but if I move it away just a little bit the screen lights back up. So during calls I am hitting keys on the touchpad, placing the call on hold, muting calls, etc.
    This was not a problem on my 3g. Is there a way to fix this?

    This is a proximity sensor known issue, will be addressed by apple in the next update (4.1), they still in the beta3 testing:

  • Making mobiledevices not turning off the screen

    Hi, is there anyway to force a mobile device to not turn off its screen when it doesn't recieve user input?
    I've tried to google abit but I really lacked the english words for this I guess ;)
    To make it a bit clearer. I've made a couple of midlets that don't take userinput all the time, and what happens is that after a few secs the device turns off the screen, so I have to sit there and press some random button all the time. A bit useless because this one midlet is just streaming graphics through bluetooth.
    cheers,
    Stian

    i haven't tried it, but if i were to give an idea, I'd say setting a new "display" might be one thing that a phone might use to "wakup" the display. So maybe you can continually set a new display, using the current display.
    so try something like this in your midlet:
    /** partial midlet implementation below **/
    private TimerTask refreshTask;
    public void startApp() {
        // set up display
        // set something as your displayable, etc.
        // create a task that refreshes the display of the midlet
        refreshTask = new TimerTask() {
            public void run() {
                myDisplay.setCurrent(display.getCurrent());
        // set the task to run in 2 seconds, and run again every 2 seconds after that
        new Timer().schedule(refreshTask, 2000, 2000);
    public void destroyApp(boolean b) {
        // cancel the task so it stops refreshing
        refreshTask.cancel();
    /** end pseudo midlet **/so that's just my first idea of something to try, let me know it it works, and of course, tweak the 2000 (2 seconds) to whatever you need on that phone to keep the display awake.

  • Screen is white, will not turn off, reset or nothing. what do I do?

    screen is white, will not turn off, reset or nothing. what do I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    dont you know your apple ID password ?
    IF you know that, try restart your iPhone if it doesnt work try restoring your device. If it doesnt work again, you have hardware problem. Try changing your screen.

  • Screen does not turn off near my ear

    The screen backlight does not turn off when you place it near your ear. Anyone else have this problem?

    What I found, especially with my Boxwave case (that iLounge didn't give high marks for), was that if you hold the earhole up directly to your ear, the screen does turn off.
    I checked and rechecked it in the mirror, and if I deviate a few cm higher or lower, then no, it won't. But if it's right up to my ear, then it does.
    By the way, I love the Boxwave case. The leather foldover protects the screen when sitting in my brief case.

  • HT201401 my iphone has a frozen screen and it does not turn off to reset.  what do I do?

  • When the screen saver turns off my front panel does not refresh.

    when the screen saver turns off my front panel does not refresh. If I use the show desktop button sometimes I can not maximize my vi by just clicking on it from the start bar.

    I utilize both a screen saver and the show desktop feature but have never seen this problem in the past. You might play around with your screen saver settings to see if they have any affect. You might also try another computer just to make sure something larger scale isn't going on. Also, testing with other programs to make sure it isn't a general OS issue is always a good idea. Other possibilities include changing your Video Driver settings, updating your video driver, and uninstalling - reinstalling.

  • HT4528 Why is the guided access not turning off on my iPhone? Plus, the home screen button hasn't worked since I bought it.

    This morning I tried to turn on the guided access, which I quickly regretted. The home screen button on my iPhone 5 barely worked to begin with, so when it said "Guided access enabled, tap home screen button 3 times to exit," I knew I had problems. I turned guided access off, but my iPhone now will not exit the settings app, it will not turn off, it will not shut down, and it stays only on one screen. I am about ready to go to the Apple Store and find out what is wrong.
    Please help.
