Droid Flip Out......

I got the message for my Droid to do the automatic update. A few hours after they update, my phone started calling random people, the web browser opened, random text was typed into the URL. I've turned the phone off, took the batter out. Doing this seemed to help for a while, now I can't even unlock my phone. I don't care if I have to erase everything off of the phone, I can fix that. Is there a restart point near the batter? If I can't get into my phone, how can I reset it?

Hi jreed75,
If you have locked your device and do not know the unlocked code, you may try using the last 4 of your mobile number with doing a reset. Also, if that does not work, try dialing *228(send), select option 1. This can try to program the phone to see if it will override the current lock. Apart from doing these attempts to unlock the phone, the last way available is to do a hard reset.
Thanks,

What should I do if my iPhone 4S screen is flipping out and going grey than coming back and I have to restart it 3 times before it comes back to work? I can barely put pressure on the screen.

My iPhone 4S flips out when I put pressure on any part of the phone and turns colors and then goes gray with white lines both horizontally and vertically. How do I fix this and how much is it going to cost?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...

What are the two little flip out "legs" on the charger?

What are those funny little "legs" that flip out from two corners of the charger?
Also, do you only use the charger to re-charge the battery?
If you use the AC cord (plugged into the charger, and then into the computer) is the battery charging while you are using the computer?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Joe

The legs are so you can wind the adapter cord around to help store i without so much mess.

Help! Screen keeps flipping out!

My screen keeps flipping out and scrolling by itself or clicking on things while I'm trying to scroll. It also spazzes out when I zoom. This has been happening for about a week every now and then. I try turning off my phone and turning it back on but it doesn't help sometimes. What do I do?

Hello Paulinaav,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken):
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

6 hr battery life on a Droid Eris out of the box

Hello eveyone.
I need help I just changed my blackberry storm for the Droid Eris.
Right out of the box and charged the battery lasts 8 hrs tops then it's decresed to 6 hrs.
THhis drop was due to my twitter and facebook usage which is very low and some emails that come in now. I cant surf the net due to the battery drop.
My old storm would go on for 2 days 1 full day with heavy usage. This is a new phone...what gives?
Thx.

It isn't the phones fault. It is due to an under amped battery. It is a strong phone that needs more juice. I would be hard pressed to believe the motorola droid or any other android phone has a huge difference in battery time. If there is a huge difference you don't use the phone as much as some of us do then. I purchased the 1750 battery from seido. Would have got the next one up the 3500 if it had been the price it is now. I recommend buying two and an external charger. I am getting ready to buy another 1750 and charger. This will increase the life of the battery for two reason primary reasons. Proper time for charging and the fact it isn't in use makes the charging cycle much better and effecient. I work in a hospital and get my phone searching quite often, from one netowork type to the next. I can get a solid 12 hours with 20% left at thend of the night when I get home. I have FB chat up litterally all the time bloo, I don't twitter that much but I get updates. I get mail pushed via gmail now. I do use wi-fi off and on as well. Since I'm in doors I don't actually leave the gps on, waste of power in general. Any of the newest smartphones have an underpowered battery. BB doesn't use use the web in the same fashion as android does and it isn't multitasking which is one of the big killers ont he phone. Use a task killer, select the improtant apps to ignor and make sure it cancels stocks and mp3 store, waste of cpu there. You can maximize the power you get with the battery you have, but the 3500, will add a small bit of thickness, but who really wants a hardworking model for a phone. She (the phone) just doesn't feel the same. Sorry to ramble so much, but it gets me when people say it is the phones fault or HTC is the cause. I disabled sense UI for a week and used the open UI that android has. I lost an hour and a half on the average daily, so I have to say from doing that and then turning it back on and getting the missed time back sense UI isn't the cause. I didn't notice any extra pps running when I used the open UI so I have no idea why it acted that way. It coudl have been caused by background jobs that the Sense UI uses but wasn't since it wasn't enabled and the services still ran, now that I mention that I need to check that out. It is the wrong battery fo the job, plain and simple. Replace your moto droid batteries and you will see a huge difference too. You can charge the new batteries for less time(4 hours or less pending on charger) and they will say full, but you get bad results when you short change your batteries charge time. To get the most out of my batteries, I charge them for a full 8 hours, the reason I am getting another battery and ext charger with dock.(http://store.androidcentral.com/mobi-products-cradle-w-spare-battery-slot/5A100A6693.htm) and the battery I am getting (http://store.androidcentral.com/seidio-innocell-1750mah-extended-battery/8A37A6399.htm) or the bigger battery (http://store.androidcentral.com/seidio-innocell-3500mah-extended-battery/8A37A6374.htm) You can find better prices but these are for reference. A note on airplane mode: It disable all radios in the phone. You will not receive calls and txt/mms messages. Basically it turns your phone into a PDA. You can enable the wi-fi for access. Since I replaced my battery I don't do it that often but sometimes I find it neccesary to use airplane mode for some of the remote desktop use I do on my phone.

When connecting USB Droid freaks out...

When I connect Droid to laptop with USB the phone freaks out and starts opening and closing apps, typing messages, making phone calls constantly. Make it impossible to make the connection.
How do I fix it?

I'd recommend heading into the Droid forums to post this. Right now you're in the LG Revolution forums.

IPhone 6 flips out every few days

My iphone 6 loses its mind every few days. It starts entering my pass code without my touching the screen, it will "like" posts on FB without me touching the screen, it drops wifi, starts opening 1 app after another by itself. The only solution is to turn it off/on or reboot. This is my second iphone 6 and both acted this way. Any ideas??

It's been quite a while, but I wanted to add a follow-up for anyone who runs across this with a similar problem that Reset Network Settings did not help, but at some point over the next two or three months the problem seems to have dropped drastically in frequency, and when things did flake out they seemed to kick back in on their own after a few minutes if I didn't intervene. I don't know if it was an OS update or carrier update that made the difference.
I have not yet seen the issue with iOS 8 on either my old 5s (now my wife's) or new 6, but it's only been a few days, so I can't say if it has been completely resolved, whether it is limited to the old phone, or whether it followed my migrated data to the new 6.
The T-Mobile coverage at my house has also been upgraded from 4G to LTE, but I don't think that's going to make a difference, since there's still spotty coverage and I didn't have trouble when passing through areas that had little or no T-Mobile coverage on a lengthy trip.

I'm not gonna do what you all think I'm gonna do, which is just FLIP OUT!

Switch and watch them beg you to come back, see you all on the other side.
Logic 7.2 ...LOL
But if anybody else wants to come with me, this moment will be the ground floor of something real and fun and inspiring and true in this godforsaken business and we will do it together! Who's coming with me besides... "Flipper" here?
MOTU says:Show me the money!
DIGITAL PERFORMER 5 ANYONE?

What you really need to do is sit back and take stock of all of the product development Apple has done since taking over Logic. Just let the images wash over you as you wait for that mythical Logic update; dual-cores, quad cores, intel's, tiny ipods, smaller ipods, teenie video ipod's, itune's updates, podcasts, Final Cut Studio Pack, etc, etc.

My iPod Vid sometimes freezes and the screen flips out (colors messed up!)

My iPod often freezes and I have to reset it often, whats wrong?? And is it bad for my ipod to restart often?

See this: Restoring the 5th generation iPod (iPod with video).
That may help. No a reset won't harm your iPod but if it needs to be done frequently that may be a sign of other issues.

J2RE Making Windows Flip Out Scrambling Screen

Using Dell GX270 Machines Update Java to latest version. Everything seems to work fine. But when Launching Java in Web pages on occasion the whole screen Scrambles. tool bars on top of screen. windows flickering Machine Locking up etc.. sometimes you can Alt+F4 the application if you are lucky. Mostly you just have to reboot the machine..
After reading through posts I think these Machines have ATI Video cards. Do I need to upgrade the Drivers? or Someone had posted turning off Video Acceleration inside of Java but dont seem to see that option in the control Panel under Java Plugin. Do I put something in the java Runtime Paramaters section under advanced? This happends sporaticly on several machines. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Moto Droid physical keyboard double letters

Ok I bought a Motorola Android for verizon about 8 months ago. And its been working fine for 6 and a half months but then of course my power button randomly broke... I think it is the little spring inside somehow broke? Anyway this is annoying and i am sure i can get it fixed but not my biggest concern.
About a month ago my keyboard (physical qwerty) keyboard started acting weird. (I haven't 'hacked' or updated my phone through the internet) for all intensive purposes it is brand new). When i typed a message it began to miss some letters and double others; example 'hey what's up" became 'heey watts uup'. It started off small, and a double here and a miss there but in the past month it has gotten HORRIBLE. At this point I can not even use the keyboard, when i type in passwords on internet or google search it is unrecognizable. I just tied typing 'hey how are you' in the google search and got 'y h r yo'... As you can see it is completely screwed up... pushing hard on keys or any of that doesnt help. I am pretty sure i need to go into my local verizon store... 40 min away! and get a new phone or replacement of this one, and since i am in 1 yr it should be free right? BY the way, 3 out of 4 of my friends are beginning to have same problem with their droids! they are in the beginning stage tho and it isnt as bad as mine... but it seems to be getting worse for them too!!!
Lots of questions let me break down it here:
1) anyone else having this problem
2) has anyone resolved this
3) will verizon fix/replace my phone
3a) if so i here you can get the droid x instead (saw some forums) this true?
anything will help thanks!

I've been having the exact same problem for 2 months now and my phone is not even 1 year old yet.
I never use the onscreen keyboard because it is so inaccurate (and I don't even have very large fingers); it just never indicates the letter on screen that I wanted, always the (wrong) one next to it. So I have nly ever used the flip out keyboard to do any typing, and for at least the past 2 months, it is always doubling up on any vowels that I type, only the vowels. I guess because they get used so much, they are wearing out - which is awful. Nothing is made to last any more.
I too am dreading having to waste a chunk of my Saturday to go to a Verizon store and get it sorted out. And get the usual "Oh, but now there's a brand new model and if you sign up for another 2 years, you can get it for free instead!" spiel.....

HELP! Lost my entire library of over 700 songs with my last iTunes update. I had a lot of trouble even getting to update, and when it did it took out my entire library. Even after signing in with my apple ID it will not pull up my music. VERY frustrated.

It started with my iTunes not wanting to update at all. I kept getting an error that read "cannot access %appdata%". Ok so I let that go, still had my music, podcasts, books, etc...I just didn't have an updated iTunes. It still worked so I was cool with that. Then my phone broke this week, and I had to get a new one. When I came home to register, it didn't give me my songs like it did the last time I backed a device up to my account. So I had to do it manually. Not even half way through, it just stops and won't let me add anymore of my songs, and the few songs that I tried to drag over are gray in color on my phone and you can't listen to them when you tap them. Never mind all my other songs that I lost as well. I mean, come on! I had almost 300$ worth of music that I feel has been stolen. My kids received iTunes gift cards every Christmas and birthday for the past 3 years, and now it's gone. ALL OF IT. VERY VERY UPSET! Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself, so back to the issue. I'm beginning to get flipped out when it stops working altogether. iTunes, computer, everything. It finally says, iTunes has an update available that will solve the issue (yeah right). Me being dumb, I guess, I begin the steps to again try and download this update. Still getting the error mentioned above, so I start finding out what to do to get rid of that error so I can GET MY SONGS ON MY NEW PHONE. Go to apple support, and it says to delete iTunes and all its similar components, and it won't even let me do that!!! I go into administrator side, and it says I need permission. I had already gotten into our administrator side to which only my husband and I know the password so I already have permission. I give up on that for a while, and see if windows has any updates. There were a couple so I download those. Try to go back into iTunes once that's all done, and it shoots up this license aggreement. I'm excited at this point thinking my ordeal is over. So I click agree and iTunes comes up. That's when I discovered all my music, apps, podcasts GONE. I click on iTunes match, and it says something about matching music for $24.99 a month?! I WANT MY MUSIC BACK THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR. If this does not get resloved, I WANT MY MONEY BACK that was spent on this music. If this isn't resolved I also will never, NEVER reccomend iTunes, or any of its other music/app/book/podcast related business to anyone ever again. I have been an iTunes user for almost 4 years now, and I have never been this disappointed. When my phone broke we almost got a regular phone to save money, but because of all my music/books/podcasts already in my iTunes account we got another iPhone. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO RECOVER MY LOST LIBRARY!

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

Non Camera Droids?

I love tech toys like everyone else here, as soon as I started hearing rumors of the original Droid with the slide out keyboard I knew that's what I wanted to get (after many, many, full retail price purchases of "top dog" dumb phones). I love that phones are getting impressive cameras, and the idea of front facing cameras for video chat is, well, Back to the Future awesome status.
Unfortunately, working for the Govt. where I work, I can't have a cameraphone. I bought a BB Bold 9650 non camera, and the BB system sucked so bad that paying the early termination fee was worth it to stop using it and get rid of the second line I added just for work. So, after going back to just my Droid on one line I ended up removing the lense cover on my Droid, drilled out the camera, and filled it with an epoxy rendering the camera PHYSICALLY disabled. That method of having a non camera phone is perfectly acceptable at work. I'm comfortable doing this to phones with rear only cameras, but front facing ones are going to be a different story I'm imagining.
I'm in my upgrade window right now, but the only phone that I'm seeing that's a possibility is the Droid Pro, but there's 2 problems with that one - 1: it's got a traditional sucky BB layout for the keys, and 2: I can't confirm it actually has a non camera option. I've seen rumors, but nothing as far as options for ordering it that way.
Are there any 'other' non camera Droid phones coming out? I know these are mainly consumer driven devices, thus they have 15 cameras strategically placed all over the phones, and if I could have one and bring it to work, believe me I would in a heartbeat... but is there anything on the horizon for those of us that have jobs that require security clearances?
Thanks in advance..........

I suspect the reason Verizon has not invested in the development of a non camera smartphone is the market is SOOOOOOOOO small for such a device, the price of the device would be ridiculous large for the consumer.

Don't get me wrong, I still love my Droid and don't feel an overwhelming urge to swap it out for anything else just yet... my power button doesn't work quite right from time to time, but this phone has seen heavy use over the past year and hasn't let me down. I'm just kind of disappointed that the big V doesn't have many options concerning non camera phones. Besides, the Droid is probably the best phone they picked up so far... not loaded up with all that MotoBlur crap and apps you can't get rid of (useless bankrupt blockbuster video app anyone?). Maybe I'll go back to rooting this phone again and have fun like its brand new again.
