E71 Lock Standby Screen changed itself

Hello,
Finally I decided to post this to forum and if someone can help fixing this up.
When my E71 is locked, the standby screen used to look like as attached image "E71-1.jpeg"
Suddenly, now I am getting different standby screen while I've not made any changes to my phone, attached image "E71-2.jpeg"
This happened before as well and I'd to restore my phone to Factory settings, which is really not very efficient as I've to customize other setting again afterwards.
Is there any other way I can set it to good old stanby screen as in attatched image "E71-1.jpeg"? Thanks for your help

Hi Parth,
Even after carefully cleaning the accumulated dust and dirt from my N8, it was not possible to restore the functionality of the charge and notification LED's, and it would be against the forum rules to start taking phones apart ourselves. On top of that we could easily break something inside.
If it is any comfort, a brand new smart phone is unlikely to survive more than 3 years.
I hope you can keep it going for another couple of years until smartphones with many buttons become fashionable again

I changed my 4 digit password to lock the screen and forgot what I changed it to. Now phone is disabled and says connect to itunes. Has this ever happened to anybody?

While I hold my iPad4 upright (portrait), its screen turns to landscape by itself, eventhough I hold it very still! This happens from-time-to-time, rather annoying. To lock the screen is not an answer of this event. Is it a defect of my 2-month iPad?

Xperia z1 compact screen brightness change itself even auto brightness is disable.

xperia z1 compact brightness change itslef even when i have turned off the auto brightness. for example, the brightness becomes dimmer when the overall display colour is dark or black colour and it becomes brighter when the ovrall display colour is white or bright colour. i mean im able to notice there is a slight change in display brightness when im viewing photo, watching videos or surfing inernet. the brightness just change itself even when i turn off the auto brightness.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
This sounds like the optimized backlight that the phone uses. See the following topic for more information:

What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

POLL, please take a look: Does your E71 lock when ...

Hi there,
Please make this super quick test and if possible, please report back with some additional details. This will be greatly appreciated! I have got mixed results of this test.
How: Activate Offline Mode (press the power button and choose Offline Mode) and see if it locks your phone behind the Security Lock Code (the default password for unlocking the phone is 12345). That is, the same result as choosing 'Lock Phone' from the aforementioned menu.
Then please report back your phone's behavior. In addition, please include:
0. Did it lock? Yes/No
1. Your firmware information (write *#0000* on standby screen)
2. Your product code (it's behind the battery I'm afraid, but this information is very important.. pretty please?)
3. Have you changed your default Security Lock of '12345' to something else? Yes/No
(4. subscribe to this thread )

Late addition to describe the reason for the poll a bit better: The reason for asking this information is that on some E71s the Offline Mode also puts the phone to lock mode - in some it doesn't. To me the Offline Mode is equivalent to a "Flight Mode" and thus shouldn't be combined with the lock mode (many other Nokia phones don't behave this way). There's a separate option right below the Offline Mode for locking the phone.
I've contacted Nokia Customer Care and they say the locking doesn't happen and there must be a 3rd party software conflict of some kind. They even tested it with their own E71 phone. So, according to them, the locking should NOT be happening.
I recently did a 3-button hard reset, didn't restore any backups, and the 'feature' is still there.
By having your firmware version and product code in addition to your user experiences it'll be easier to pinpoint if the locking is restricted to certain regions / phone models / firmware versions. I'll relay this poll to Nokia for their evaluation.
Thanks to all who've helped! Let's help out Nokia by debugging the E71 by ourselves and making it even better

Is there a way to lock the screen? Why did it copy all my iphone apps?

I really would like to lock the screen so it doesn't change position if I move it a little bit. Anybody know if this is possible?
Why the heck did it copy all of my Iphone apps onto itself even though I told it not too? Not too happy about that...
Otherwise I think it is absolutely amazing. The touch screen is very responsive. In fact, I think it is perfect.

There's a little switch above the volume buttons on the right side. Flip it and try turning the screen.

Not sure since we're not sure the processes you took to sync it. When its plugged into your computer and you are viewing it in iTunes you can go into the "Applications" tab and select which apps you want and don't want. On the main info page there is a checkbox that says sync apps automatically".

LOCK the screen or LOG OFF?

Hello All,
OS: SLES 9
What is the difference between LOCK the screen or LOG OFF?
From the server I run command (rwserver.sh server=repserver90 batch=yes &) to run my report server up or running.
Pl note: If its down I am not able to run my reports.
After that I have lock the screen.
Now I am able to use any client (windows machine) to run reports from my Oracle AS url.
I wonder if I LOG OFF from the server,
is my report server still running?
Regards,
DN

What is the difference between LOCK the screen and LOG OFF from the server?
Well, lock screen keeps all the processes running,
whereas log off from the session, would kill most processes
(not the oracle server, but most others that are still associated
with the X session).Something I want to add to that: Locking the screen also prevents other users from using that terminal session, but it depends on where you're locking the screen. If you are not running an X session and you lock the screen via flock or some similar console locking mechanism then users can't use that terminal session, but can use other terminal sessions on the same machine.
If you are running an X session and you lock the terminal via xlock or xscreensaver, you prevent users from using that computer station entirely. Also, if you're running an X session, utilities like flock become quite meaningless because they don't stop the user from opening a new terminal window.
From the server I ran command to run my report server up.
rwserver.sh server=repserver90 batch=yes &
I think if you use the command with nohup instead,
it would detach from the controlling terminal, so it
wouldn't matter whether you only lock the screen,
or log out completely.The ampersand "&" at the end of the command line throws the process into the background. Most of the time this is enough to dissociate the process from the controlling terminal enough that logging out will not kill the process, so logging out after starting the server that way should leave the server running.
Nohup's behavior changes with the environment you're using. In tcsh, it simply causes the process to ignore hangups, though it can itself be overridden by the process. In Bash, nohup will will also change the scheduling priority of the process and redirect output and error messages to "nohup.out", either in the local directory or in the $HOME directory (and if it can't write to nohup.out for some reason, it refuses to run the process).
Another method is to use the GNU "screen" command.But if you use screen, make sure that the screen command is ABSOLUTELY NOT setuid root. I know most sane distributions nowadays don't install it with setuid root anymore, but paranoia never hurt the admin.

My Mac Pro "mid2010" locks the screen/ screen blacks out every some seconds.

This started last week with the installation of Mavericks. What can I do? Settings in Screensaver etc. are "normal", i.e. I did not change anything. The screen goes black totally randomly every 5 to 10 seconds. I usually have "require password to unlock screen". So it asks me to enter the password every time. That means it locks the screen ? I unchecked this option to be able to at least get some work done. I can wake the machine up by hitting any keys. There are several people working on this machine. Some of us use the Remote Desktop (RD) environment "vnc://..." but stopped using it, to make sure the problem is not related to the use of RD. The problem is still there. Does anyone have an idea. I cannot find any useful hints on this, nor was I able to find a similar problem.
Cheers,
Eric

How to make your own bootable OS X 10.9 Mavericks USB install drive
Apple has changed things in 10.9, but making a recovery drive is still possible.
by Andrew Cunningham - Oct 23 2013, 8:19am CDT
OS X Flickr user Prime Number
When Apple released OS X 10.7 two years ago, it stopped selling operating system DVDs in its stores, stopped shipping recovery disks with new Macs, and switched to downloadable installers for OS X upgrades.
These download-only installers have actually worked pretty well—I’ve never had an issue downloading the software from the Mac App Store or restoring a Mac using the Internet Recovery feature when something went south.
That said, it’s still nice to have an install disk handy for those cases when you don’t have a connection, when your connection is slow, or when you just have a whole bunch of Macs and don’t want to have to download the installer on each and every one of them.
The good news is, as with Lion and Mountain Lion, it’s possible to create a local USB installer for Mavericks. The bad news is that it wasn’t as simple as it was before—Apple has changed the way the installer works, and making an install disk manually is more difficult than it used to be. Before we get started, here’s what you’ll need:
An 8GB or larger USB flash drive, or an 8GB or larger partition on some other kind of external drive
The OS X 10.9 Mavericks installer from the Mac App Store in your Applications folder. The installer will delete itself when you install the operating system, but it can be re-downloaded if necessary.
The latest beta of the Lion Diskmaker app, available here (as of this writing, version 3 beta 3 is the most recent). This app is free to download, but the creator accepts donations if you want to support his efforts.
An administrator account on the Mac you're using to create the disk.
The easy way
Enlarge / Lion Diskmaker remains the easiest, most user-friendly way to get this done.
Andrew Cunningham
Once you've obtained all of the necessary materials, unzip the Lion Diskmaker app and run it. The app can currently make installers for OS X 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9, but we're only interested in Mavericks today.
Lion Diskmaker has actually been around since the days of OS X 10.7 (which explains the name), but it's more important now because Apple has made alterations to the installer that prevent the old Disk Utility method from working.
It's still possible to create a disk manually using a Terminal command (which we'll go into momentarily), but Lion Diskmaker presents an easy GUI-based way to do it that is less intimidating to most people.
One note of caution: Lion Diskmaker no longer supports creating OS X install DVDs. This isn't going to be a problem for any Mac that can actually install Mavericks, but if you'd rather use a disc than a USB drive you're apparently out of luck.
Anyway, select OS X 10.9 in Lion Diskmaker and the app should automatically find the copy you've downloaded to your Applications folder, but clicking "Use another copy" will let you browse the drive if you happen to have moved it.
It will then ask you where you want to copy the files—click "An 8GB USB thumb drive" if you have a single drive to use, or "Another kind of disk" to use a partition on a larger drive or some other kind of external drive.
Choose your disk (or partition) from the list that appears, verify that you'd like to have the disk (or partition) erased, and then wait for the files to copy over. The process is outlined in screenshots below.
The only-slightly-less-easy way
If you don't want to use Lion Diskmaker for some reason, poster tywebb13 on the MacRumors forums has your hookup. Assuming that you have the OS X Mavericks installer in your Applications folder and you have a Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)-formatted volume named "Untitled" mounted on the system, you can create a Mavericks install drive by typing the following command into the Terminal.
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
The command will erase the disk and copy the install files over. Give it some time, and your volume will soon be loaded up with not just the OS X installer, but also an external recovery partition that may come in handy if your hard drive dies and you're away from an Internet connection.
Whichever method you use, you should be able to boot from your new USB drive either by changing the default Startup Disk in System Preferences or by holding down the Option key at boot and selecting the drive. Once booted, you'll be able to install or upgrade Mavericks as you normally would.

Can you lock touch screen when watching videos!??

Can you lock the screen so it doesn't become a touch screen when watching videos!??
Just got new ipod (7th gen) and this driving me crazy that I think I'm going to continue to use my older one unless there is a solution out there. I watch tv shows while commuting and while walking here or there I have to 'palm' the ipod or walk with it at my side, and the problem is that since the touch screen is sooooo sensitive I keep fwding/rewinding/swiping the screen to something else, and then to get back to that part in the video is a pain because unlike the older ipod you can just fwd a few secs, this one jumps minutes because it's so sensitive. PLEASE tell me there's a way to lock it from accidently touching it!

No - there is no such switch on the iPad - the switches control volume, muting, screen rotation, and the home button itself.
You could place it behind a screen of some sort so touching the outer screen won't affect the iPad screen - I've seen ads for 'presentation kiosk' type devices for the iPad that allow this, although I'm not sure how practical they would be in the backseat of a car.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.
Regards,
Nicolas.
(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

Window not refreshing after lock/unlock screen.

I've noticed an issue where if I lock the screen (windows key + L) before the visible property of some component is changed, then unlock the screen, the component visibility is not updated until I mouse over the JavaFX application window.
I'm including some sample code to demonstrate the problem. To use:
1. Run.
2. Click the button.
3. Lock the screen.
4. Wait 15 seconds.
5. Unlock the screen, but do not touch the mouse.
6. Verify that the progress indicator animation is still visible, but is not animated.
7. Mouse over the application window.
8. Verify that the progress indicator disappears.
In addition, if steps 3-7 are not executed, the behavior is as I would expect... The progress indicator disappears 15 seconds after the button is clicked.
Does anyone have any ideas on a workaround that would force a UI update when the screen is unlocked?
I'm using the version of JavaFX packaged with Java 1.7.0_09

     * @param args
    public static void main( String[] args )

        final ProgressIndicator pi = new ProgressIndicator();
        pi.setMaxSize(300d, 300d);
        pi.setStyle("-fx-progress-color: dodgerblue;");
        Button button = new Button("Hide after 15 seconds...");
        button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

How can I lock the screen on RMBP allowing applications to work.

I'm using my RMBP at work, when I go off to get lunch or any other time I'm out of my office for several minutes I want to be able to lock my screen. I want downloads in the background, or renderings to keep working while it's locked, but the only thing I've been able to find is to shut the lid, which puts it to sleep...
Control, Shift, Power turns the screen off, but any press of a key wakes it back up. I'm assuming I'd have to pass code lock the computer (I don't want to have to key in the pass code every time I open the lid, but I understand if I did)... how can I make it go to a password protected lock screen with out going to sleep.
In windows its very easy, window key + L, lock screen. Can I duplicate this functionality on a Mac?

Open system preferences and go to "Desktop & Screen Saver"
Select the "Screen Saver" tab, select a screen saver and then select the "Hot Corners..." button. You will be able to set hot corners that will start the saver when you move the mouse cursor to that location.
After you have setup the screen saver, got back to the system preferences top menu and select "Security & Privacy". You can change the setting to require your password to unlock the screen after the screen saver starts.

IMac screen dims itself automatically; all attempted fixes fail; how can normal brightness be restored?

Machine and OS:
2007 white plastic iMac with 20" screen and 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, running OSX 10.6.8.
The problem:
The screen dims itself for no known reason. It is especially noticeable when waking from sleep: for the first second or two after waking up, the screen is at normal brightness -- but then after a second the computer seems to "remember" some setting or command, and the screen unquestionably dims itself to be about 20% or 25% darker.
Because the screen for a brief moment after waking is at full brightness, that proves to me that there is nothing physically "broken" about the display that prevents it from illuminating fully; it could be at full brightness if it "wanted to," but some kind of software or firmware glitch is telling it to be dimmer.
The fixes I have attempted so far -- ALL of which have FAILED (so please don't recommend them again):
- Reset the NVRAM or PRAM by holding down Command-option-P-R upon startup. For some reason this technique doesn't cause the second chime, so it doesn't appear to be zapping the NVRAM or PRAM or whatever, and consequently has no effect on the dimness, which persists unchanged after restarting.
- Reset the NVRAM using the terminal command ' sudo nvram boot-args=”-p -r” ', as recommended on this page: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2172681?start=0&tstart=0. I can't tell if this really did reset the NVRAM (it doesn't cause a second chime upon restart), so I'll just have to assume that it "worked" -- but except for one instance, it had no effect on the screen dimness. (That one instance went like this: after issuing the Terminal command and restarting, the screen did go back to full brightness -- but only until the first sleep. After waking from that sleep, the screen once again dimmed itself as before. And no, I have not been able to repeat this momentary "success"; on all subsequent attempts following the exact same steps, no brightness has ever returned at all since.)
- Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) as recommended on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 . Basically this just entailed shutting down the computer waiting a few seconds, then unplugging it, waiting a few more seconds, then plugging it back in, then waiting a few more seconds, and then finally starting it up again. Result? No change: screen still dims itself.
- Pressed the "brighter" and "dimmer" keys on the keyboard; those do make the brightness go up and down, but the top brightness setting is much dimmer than it should be (and used to be). All the way to brightest setting = still noticeably dimmer than normal.
- Used the "brightness" slider in the System Preferences > Displays > Display window. That also does indeed adjust the brightness up and down, but as with the keyboard brightness keys, the highest setting is still too dim.
- Readjusted the "Calibration" in the System Preferences > Displays, which had no noticeable effect; even when going into Expert mode and adjusting every little aspect of the screen display's default settings. Those all seem to be about color balance anyway, not about brightness. I now have three different new calibration settings, and clicking back and forth between them and the default setting makes no real significant difference. Whatever setting I choose, it is still dimmer than it should be, even though in all my attempts at calibration I tried to make it brighter.
- Tried going to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing and adjusting the "Enhance Contrast" slider and trying out "Black on White" vs. "use Greyscale"; none of that helped, and did not seem to be relevant to the problem.
- Tried going to System Preferences > Energy Saver, and clicking the "Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep" check box on (and then closing the preference pane) and then off again (following the advice at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2309?viewlocale=en_US) -- but it had absolutely no effect whatsoever on the brightness level.
Final note: The keyboard and mouse are both Apple products and work perfectly, and the machine has no other performance issues. Just the dimming, which started a few weeks ago inexplicably and without warning.
I can't imagine what is causing this problem, and I've absolutely run out of ideas about how to fix it. One thought I had was that maybe the screen is dimming itself due to detected ambient illumination, but I'm not sure 2007 iMacs even have that feature, and also the screen remains dim whether the room is dark or bright. Maybe there is an ambient light detector somewhere that is malfunctioning?
Help! How can I solve this? The screen is not so dim as to be unusable, but it's annoying enough that I'll have to get a replacement machine if this is not fixed eventually.

Does an external display also act in a similar manner as the internal one?
Some earlier Intel-based iMacs had graphic processor card issues; not sure what
the symptoms of the majority of them were, but some had odd patterns, others
went black, and some would range from OK to totally unusable. Among others.
So there is a chance the graphic processor may be going out; or just the circuitry
that controls the backlight. An inverter may be weak or other circuit to the display
could be wearing out.
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
If you have access to an Apple Store with Genius bar, they can perform some kinds
of diagnostic tests there even though the computer is out-of-warranty; that may be
of help to narrow down the cause of the symptoms you've noticed. They may not be
able to repair it, however, at an Apple Store; as it is rather old by today's standard.
An Apple Authorized Service Provider could do repairs and testing on older models
the Apple Store's Genius and other may not be set up to handle due to vintage.
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
There is a country locator page to help find either of the above in regions outside
of the US & Canada, not sure how the above links would work; and it appears my
bookmarks to the country locator page may not be accessible now to post here.
You may be able to get an idea about what kinds of parts support the display
function by name by looking into an iFixit.com repair guide for your iMac series.
Hopefully the parts supporting the display are the reason it is dimming down, as
a graphic processor failure likely would exhibit other behaviors than just dimming.
PS: I see you've added content to your thread after I'd started working on this
& the answer likely is a hardware repair; professional testing is worth the time
and you seem to have at least one other thread on the same topic....
Good luck & happy computing!

N95 - fontsize in the standby screen.

Is it possible to change the fontsize in the stanby screen?
I think i is to large.
When I change it in the settings, nothing happens in the standby screen.
Nokia N86

Hi Krins,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The screen that you are describing comes up if the Sleep/Wake button is held down. This is how you would power down your iPhone. I would suggest making sure nothing is accidentally pressing down this button, such as a case.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Best regards,
