DROID X not responding

This afternoon I had an unnerving experience with my DROID X. I set it down on the table with about half a charge. I came back a half hour later and tried to wake it up, but it was not responding. No matter how many times I pushed the power button, it would not clear the blank screen, open the slider, and let me wake it up. I plugged it into the charger thinking it may have a dead battery, still no response, no indication that it was charging. I left it that way for 15 min or so, and it came to life. This is what we used to call in the old days before Microsoft - a bug (not a "feature “). Has anyone else seen their DROID X go AWOL without explanation?

I know this sounds silly, but, if you power it down and take the battery out for 30 seconds it can reset the registers and such, You may want to randomly restart your device before it goes haywire like this. I had similar issues, and surprisingly it actually works.

  • Droid x2 touch screen responce very slow and sometimes not responding.

    I've been having issues with my 3g also dropping to 1x and not getting 3g back until i remove the battery also.I did the *228 and seemed to help this situation, but still has a hard time with connecting to 3g. Idk if this a area problem or not.  When switching from apps to browser and main screen to browser, i can tap the browser and getting the indicator coming up so i know I touched it.It will delay like 5-10 seconds and sometimes i have to hit it like 5 times before it will come up. Friday i went to a verizon store and they cleared the cache and installed the dolphin browser. it seemed to work better until yesterday when it started freezing and not responding. Sometimes the keyboard will stay on my main screen when i exit my browser. I have to shut the screen off to resolve this issue. this is my second droid x2 and I had 4 droid x's in the last 18 months due to software issues. this is a very annoying issue and am very tired of the motorola devices i've had. verizon offered me a early upgrade but i refuse to purchase another motorola device.

    "lags" or "nonresponsiveness" is USUALLY a 3rd Party App sucking the life out of your CPU (processor).  Is it reproducible? If so, I would boot into SAFE MODE and test it. If the problem goes away, that pretty much confirms that you have an APP or WIDGET causing your grief ... and time to start Uninstalling things until the problem gores away. the silver "bullet" is a factory Reset - but don't automatically have all your APPS redownload or you'll likely just be back to the same issue.
    Do a Search for "SAFE MODE" in the search bar just above ...  if you can't find the procedure, let me know.

  • Camera not responding

    I'm having FREQUENT issues with my camera not responding or freezing up when I try to use it.
    I have also noticed my phone turning itself off or spontaneously restarting.
    Anyone know a "fix" for either issue?
    This is a replacement phone because my brand new Droid Maxx had the same camera issue about 2 months after I bought it.
    I've restarted, reset, cleared cache, and uninstalled updates, yet nothing seems to help. With my first Maxx, I tried all the same things at the advise of online support, when they didn't work, I was issued a replacement.
    I guess my dilemma is, Is there now a "fix? should I get a replacement? or should I Edge Up and try a different phone?

        We want to see you snapping away with your camera, lucychik! Did this start as soon as you received the replacement? Have you installed the same applications on this device as the last? Does this happen in apps that use camera or just native Camera program? When restart occurs are you using a certain app or process? I am eager to get to the bottom of this!
    Thank you,

  • Touch not responding

    My driod 2 screen went blank so I reboted it now the touch screen is not responding and I cant even unlock my phone. What do I do?

        Hello Tellemtwice234,
    Oh my! Having a touchscreen that won't respond is never a good thing. There are many things that can factor a non responsive screen. Most of the time; it is a result of a recently installed application. I definitely want to get this fixed for you.
    Let's try running your phone in Safe Mode. Slide your keypad up on your Droid 2; Press and hold the "OK" key while powering the phone on. Here is a visual to enable and disable Safe Mode:http://bit.ly/o5McAQ.
    We recommend keeping the phone in this mode and testing the touchscreen out. If it is responding properly while in Safe Mode, remove the most recently installed applications then power the phone up to test in normal mode.
    If you are unable to determine which applications are causing the freezing; the next step would be a Master Reset using the Alternative method: http://bit.ly/GPI14h.
    Let us Keep us posted. We are here to help.
    Thanks,

    I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.

    After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
    I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
    I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

  • Frequently when I open Firefox it says Firefox is already running but is not responding. I have to go to the task manager, find Firefox and close the process before I can get firefox to load.

    Those are all the details I have

  • PCI DIO 32HS (6533) Suddenly giving "The device is not responding to the first IRQ level" error, and no longer functioning.

    Greetings NI folks,
      I'm an oceanographer, and have an sidescan sonar data aquasition computer running Windows XP SP2, and NiDAQ 7.0 (Legacy). For several years, this machine has worked flawlessly, but today, I booted it up to test the system for an upcoming job, and I got some strange errors in our sonar program. I tranced the problem to our NI-6533 PCI-DIO-32HS card. I launched NI Automation Explorer to test that the card was responsive, and when I click the "test panel", I get an error: "The device is not responding to the first IRQ level." Continue (yes/no). If I click yes, I can test the digital i/o's, but nothing happens, and all the tests fail (nonresponsive). I tried moving the card to another PCI slot, tried forcing it to have a specific IRQ that was unused by anything else, and finally tried moving it to another computer that had never been used with the DIO card. I'm still getting the error, and the card is nonresponsive. I'm at the limit of my abilities, and would like to know if there's anything else I can do, or should we send the card back to NI for repair/diagnosis.
    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Also, the "do no disconnect" sign does not appear on

    recharge, though.

    I read that I have to restore it. I have tons of

  • I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

    I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • "Update server not responding" when trying to update Acrobat 9 Pro

    I just installed Acrobat 9 Pro on my desktop computer and on my laptop. I was able to download and install the latest updates to the copy on my desktop computer (so that it is now version 9.3.0), using Help>Check for Updates.
    When I try the same command on my laptop, I get and error message that states "The update server is not responding, which means it may be offline at the moment, or the Internet or firlewall settings may be incorrect. Please try again later." I tried several times yesterday and today with the same error. The message pops up immediatley; it doesn't even seem to actually try to connect.
    I disabled my firewall and antivirus software and still get the same result. I uninstalled then reinstalled Acrobat and still get the same result.
    I looked online at Adobe.com to see about downloading and installing the updates manually, but it's difficult for me to tell which updates I need. Some are for other languages and some are for 64-bit but I have Windows 7 32-bit.
    A call to tech support was no help. The agent seemed to think because I installed verison 9.0 that I only needed the one English update listed on the download page under 9.0, and not any of the later updates. . . And he said that Adobe recommends manually installing updates from Adobe.com rather than using the Check for Updates command (?!).
    Anyway, does anyone know what might be causing this problem with the adobe updater? Maybe I need to reinstall the updater (where do I find it?).
    OR
    Can someone tell me which of the updates listed on the Acrobat dowload page I should manually install to bring my product up to date?
    [Running Windows 7 32-bit on both machines]
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Which version of Acrobat do you have ?
    (Launch Acrobat and Go to Acrobat->About Adobe Acrobat menu item and check the version )
    Also, can you ping following urls ?
    armmf.adobe.com
    armdl.adobe.com
    ardownload.adobe.com
    Are these urls reachable ?
    Also, you can check the contents of host file /etc/defaults/host to see that none of the ips are redirected.
    One more thing that you could try:
    If you have firewall on, could you please disable the firewall and then try the update. Does it works now ?

  • Adobe Reader 11 w/Windows 7 not responding

    Why does Adobe Reader 11 fail to respond sometimes?  Re-installing allows it to function several times then we get a "not responding" message.  A plank screen is displayed and the number of pages but NO text!  Using repair produces the same results.  Upon 1st use of the repaired/reinstalled reader 11 we also get the adobe message "Cannot find or create the font "Times New Roman".  Some characters may ot display or print correctly".  The text is mostly displayed at this point.  The second attempt to display the same PDF or another displays completely w/out any error message at all.  At some point during the testing process Adobe Reader 11 stops working!  Restarts don't help.  Shutdowns don't help.  Seems only a re-install or repair allows us to correctly view our PDF document a number of times before we have to repeat the process.  Is help available?

    Moved the discussion from Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8 to Adobe Reader.

  • Apps "not responding" and general lag

    More than ever it seems apps are freezing and then the message that the app "not responding" comes up and do we want to wait or close. Is there any fix ? Also, my phone still has lag which is possibly uncurable ?  Sony making no friends here - a kitkat upgrade would be welcome but isn't coming ! One thing I did do was disable Chrome and install CM browser for android - makes searching less painful and would recommend.

     You could reinstall the latest update with PCC Keep in mind that apps are getting heavier and hardware demanding, chrome its known to have an issue at the moment, memory leak, and the Xperia SP has only 1GB of RAM not an ideal combination with this latest updates on apps. 

  • Every time I try to print a file to Adobe PDF, I get the message "Firefox is not responding". When I try to cancel the print job, all of my Firefox tabs shut down. This just started today. Up until today, I could print a page to Adobe PDF with no problem.

    The print dialouge box comes up. I select print to PDF. Another box comes up and says it is preparing the document (This is the way it has always been). Then, nothing. It says Firefox is not responding. If I try to close out the print box, it not only closes the page I was on, but any other open tabs in Firefox. How can I fix this?

    I didn't see that I could edit the question before "I answered myself." I updated the question.
