Droid 3 won't lock

Basically, when I push the lock button the screen goes black like it should, but when I turn the screen back on it goes straight to the main screen, bypassing the lock screen altogether. I've had this problem before, I don't know why it happened then & I dont know why it's happening now, but my Droid 3 won't slide to unlock.
I havent downloaded any new apps, I've scanned my phone using Lookout, I haven't done anything different, in fact the lock was working just a few minutes before it started doing this. The last time this happened, my phone would become unlocked in my pocket and open random apps or butt-dial numbers.
I did a hard reset the last time, but it's such a tedious task redownloading all of my apps and losing data in games, contact pictures, etc. I prefer the slide unlock to the others because I'm on my phone a lot and it's easier than the pattern or password...Is there any reason why it would be doing this & how can I solve it?

There's apps on market to disable and enable but since you said you are not using any such app have you tried going into the Settings and security menu and check the settings? If the issue continues as another option you could consider a lick screen replacement like Widget Locker, this is a way more Superior lock screen in my opinion.

Okay, so I try to open an app, but for some reason, I can't close out of the app, multitask, or even shut of my iPod, so it won't lock, but I have the time set to two minutes but its been half an hour and it still didn't lock. Please tell me if fixable.

I try to open up a texting app, and now, it won't lock, exit out (or crash suprisingly), multitask, or even power off. I also had auto lock set to two minutes and it has been about a full hour and it has never locked. If there is someone out there who has the same problem as me, and knows how to fix it, PLEASE TELL ME!!! I have a lot of texts that need to be answered... I also use the Assisstive touch and please tell me if that affects anything about these problems.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

HT201401 My phone won't lock or go into sleep mode when answering calls

My phone won't lock or go into sleep mode when making or receiving calls. Consequently I keep activating the mute or loud speaker buttons with my cheek. Can anyone help please??

That is a Proximity Sensor Problem, which is located above the earpiece speaker. Do you have a new screen protector or iPhone Case which could interfer with this?

If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

Won't lock on GPS

New Customers x 3 days. Decided to return to Verizon for cell phone service with advent of Network extenders as had good luck with ATT micro cell ( same premise ) through our DSL. We have been trying to get it to work for 48 hours and still no go. We even have tried a new GPS antenna from the store. We get constant magenta for the GPS slot. We have tried moving it to every room including the roof. Network extender just won't lock into GPS, but Internet connection good.
We have a metal roof. we are 3 -4 miles from where service stops.
Can get one to three bars when phone on window sill but when place GPS sensor doesn't recognize it.
Tech support has been nice, but tired of calling them and ready to go back to ATT. Then tonight reading that they have Network extender outages??? None of the tech people mentioned that.
Any ideas out there appreciated.

load the required maps via nokia map loader and on ur n97 mini settings>phone>app sett>positioning methods to and Integrated GPS (dnt select Bluetooth GPS Assisted GPS & Network based) and ur done but offcorse it depends on ur GPS fix (Ovi Maps 3.x is now giving free navigation) dnt forget to hit Kudos!

Is my Droid Razr Maxx xt912 locked for use with another carrier's SIM - either in the U.S. or globally?

Is the Verizon Droid Razr Maxx XT912 locked to prevent using another carrier's SIM in the U.S.? Is it blocked to prevent use of another carrier's SIM outside the U.S.?
Thanks

Hi MattFlash, that is a great questions and I would be happy to help! The good news is that all of our 4G devices would be unlocked and ready for use with another carrier, so the Maxx is ready to go. If you would like to use another carriers service you may need their SIM card and would then need to follow their activation procedures. Hope this helps!

My iPad WON'T lock now

Well, at the start I found the "slide to unlock" annoying. So I changed the Settings on IPad Cover Lock/Unlock to OFF. I also changed the Auto-Lock to NEVER.
THEN I changed my mind and decided I wanted the "Slide to unlock" feature back. I changed the Auto-Lock to 2 minutes and the iPad Cover Lock/Unlock to ON.
It won't lock any more. When I open my iPad, the Home pages is always there. Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, I forgot to say I did that too.

Blackberry Curve 8520 Won't Lock! Help!

I recently purchased a new Blackberry Curve 8520, and it was working great, until a couple of days ago, when it starting not working.
Whenever I'd press the a* button to lock it like you're supposed to, it wouldn't lock.
I tried shutting it off and then turning it back on again, but it still won't lock.
It's really annoying, because I can't put it in my pocket without pocket-dialing someone from my contacts.
Any ideas on how to get it to lock again?
Solved!

Droid X Won't Send Text Messages

My Droid X won't send text messages to one of my contacts who also has Verizon when I am in North Carolina. I can send her picture messages from NC but everytime I try to send her a text I get a message saying "text not sent". I can receive messages from her but cannot send them. I don't have any problem when I am at home in Virginia but in North Carolina it won't send my messages. I don't think it is a problem with my plan or coverage bc I can send messages to everyone else in my phonebook, she is the only person that my phone won't send them too. It makes no sense to me. HELP!!!!!

I am also having issues with my Droid Ultra. I get some messages from my wife, while others do not come through.I can verify this by looking at her phone. This has been happening past few days. I also have noticed that a pop up stating that messaging suddenly has stopped working. Please advise!

HT201401 Screen won't lock during calls

My screen lock stopped working! When I am on a call my screen won't lock, which causes me to dial. mute and place people on speaker. How do I get the screen to lock?

might be a hardware defect with the proximity sensor.
Try doing a hard reset: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
Good luck

Droid Incredible won't Conference Call - VZW Area Supposed Known Issue

My Droid Incredible won't connect when you try to add in 2nd call. No one in my area can conference call with their Droids...not even the VZW Store Droid demo models or the reps there who have the Incredible. My friends have tried conference calling with their Droid's with no luck as well. VZW tech says its a known issue, and until Verizon pushes out update to our area - I'm out of luck! The rep said my options are that they can replace my phone with a different phone model or of course I can break my contract. Really? You want me to go to Apple and get your competitor's Iphone?

With the Droid Incredible I do not have the SEND option once I am connected to the first party. I just have the END CALL button on my screen. I just got off the phone with Customer Service who reviewed the Tech support notes and she said according to the Ticket the issue is my area, and the way the Droid's are designed to conference call. The work around in my area is to hit SEND twice to connect the 2nd party, however she did state, as I can observe, that the Droids do not have the option to hit send on a 2nd call. My friend has a Droid X in my area and he too is unable to conference call. According to trouble ticket they cannot do anything for me. I am out of luck and my only option is for VZW to give me a new model phone, well we all know the only comparable phone is the Droid X which won't help me as it can't conference call either. With what I do, I need to be able to conference call and if I pay $300 for a phone with the feature, I expect Verizon to accomodate me so this just boggles my mind why Verizon isn't working hard to address this issue. So the only other alternative I see is to break contract and move to AT&T and get the Iphone, but I really do love my Incredible so this is a hard decision. Why is Verizon not working to address this issue? Who can I talk to???

Droid X won't reboot past the M logo

My Droid X won't reboot past the M logo. I have tried taking my battery out and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

You may have to do a dreaded factory reset. Follow the second method in these instructions from Motorola using the Power button and Volume rocker.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/63875/~/droid-x2---master-reset-%2F-factory-data-reset
Be aware that a factory reset will delete all of your data (SD card will be safe though). If you have your contacts backed up via Google gmail or Verizon Backup Assistant they will be safe too. But you will have to download and install all of you apps again as well as set up your email and social apps.
If a factory reset does not help try removing your SD card and repeat the factory reset. If that doesn't work, seek professional help (Verizon tech service) or get a replacement phone.

My iPad 2 screen won't "lock" or "turn off" after being left unused since ios7 update

Hi, I hope this hasn't already been covered I have had a look and on other sites but haven't come across nothing.
Since I have updated to ios7 my iPad 2 screen now doesn't lock when left unused, I can manually lock it by pushing the lock button but it won't do it by its self no more, my iPhone does so I'm assuming it's not a new thing that came with the update. It's not a huge issue, it's more annoying, my battery is forever low as it drains it when I forget to lock it myself. I have had a look through the settings and can't see how to change this, I'm not a very technical person though so I know I may have missed it somewhere or am just being very blonde,, thank you in advance for any light shed on this.

Hello there, AllThingsShiney.
You may just have to set the "auto-lock time". The following Link from the iPad User's Guide should help:
Sleep/Wake button - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9940ef67
Specifically:
Set the auto-lock time. Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Droid X won't download auto updates for apps from Marketplace

I'm having problems with my Droid x auto downloading app update from marketplace. When I try to update an app that is supposed to auto update, my Droid X says "starting download" then goes no farther, even if I let it sit for hours.
On those apps that require a manual update, I have no problems. They download just fine when I tell them to.
Is there anyway to set all my apps to manual update, or does anyone have any idea why the auto downloads won't work?
Thanks.

OK, I figured it out. With the auto download hung up, I hit the cancel button, and then it let me do a manual download that worked just fine.

Iphone 6 won't lock into landscape mode, keep switching back to portrait mode

Hi,
Please help me, this has driven me nut, I can't seem to lock my iphone 6 into landscape mode, it will only lock my screen when I am in portrait mode.
For example, if I open safari and turn my phone sideway, safari would turn into landscape mode, and if I want to lock my screen to keep it in landscape mode, it won't do it, as soon as I select that screen lock button, it will turn back to portrait mode and lock my screen up into portrait mode.
What should I do to keep my screen lock at landscape mode??? I have tried this with several apps and the same thing happen, like in Calculator, when I turn it sideway and try to lock it, it goes right back to portrait mode.
I restored my iPhone 6 from my iPhone 5c so just wonder if it has anything to do with that or just some bugs in iOS8???
My current display is in Standard and not Zoom display, and I even try to set it as Zoom and then reset it back to Standard to try to see if it works and it still doesn't work.
HELP ME!!!!

I Just spent over an hour with support on this issue and apparently in iOS 8 they removed the option for the phones to lock in landscape mode. So, there is nothing wrong with your phone, unfortunately they removed a very useful feature. Maybe they will see if enough users want it they will fix it in an update.
