Hands Free Mode keeps turning itself on. How do I stop it?
I have repeatedly turned off hands on mode (Settings/Device), but it keeps turning itself back and the stupid voice wants me to say "Hi Galaxy" or asks if I'm having a nice day. It may have been a nice day, but not after hearing that voice. This seems to be associated with receiving a notification.
How do I turn off this feature such that it only comes on when I want it to?
John
I'm sorry to hear about this issue that's occuring with your phone jstevens8352. Have you tried adjusting the notifications on your device? I have listed them below:
• From the home screen, select Apps (located in the lower-right).
• From the Apps tab, select Settings.
• From the My device tab, select Sound. • Select Notifications. • Select a notification then select OK.
Do you have any apps that may be tied into this setting? If so, please temporarily remove. I would also recommend safe mode? Put the phone into safe mode and test the device, then disable the setting. Here is a link to the steps http://vz.to/1hCWfLm .

Please I just got an iPad 3 and it keeps restarting itself. How do I stop this. Done hard reset and system reset.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode.
iPad: Unable to update or restore
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.

ITunes keeps opening itself up, how do I stop it?!
Okay all I've become more than irritated by iTunes lately. Every time I go to click the x in the upper right hand corner, or even go "File" then "Exit" every thirty seconds or so after I close out iTunes it unbeknown to me opens itself back up. I've gone through services.msc to disable anything that could cause it to open itself back up. I've even checked everything in iTunes so I have to manually open it up.
However as I said before, every bloody time I close iTunes 30 seconds later it opens itself back up for no reason at all. In order to fully close it I have to use cntrl, alt, delete and shut it down fully that way. What else can be done to stop this? This is really driving me crazy.
Other than this little thing I have no problems. Oh and I have an iPod Classic 120GB and Windows XP.So you put up with IDVD opening at start up even though you may not even need it to?
I just fixed this on my own. Somehow IDVD had gotten included in my start up preferences under log in options. Removed it. Problem solved.
Thx. -

The "fix" is to get the phone repaired. There's no magic solution for a broken phone.

My iPod touch keeps turning itself off
My iPod touch keeps turning itself off. My iPod is fully updated and charged. When i try and turn it on the apple symbol comes on but a bit later turns itself off again (even when on a charger) what should i do?
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 another cable
- 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.

Blackberry Pearl keeps turning itself on and off then searching for network...........
Hi people, not sure if anybody can help however I have a Blackberry Pearl 9105 and for the past 2 weeks its keeps turning itself off and on and also keeps saying 'searching for network' at random times. I therefore thought it may require a new battery so brought a new battery - was fine for 5 hrs and then started doing it again!
Any ideas on what it could be please...............it is quite old now and am due an upgrade at the end of August which is so annoying. Vodafone won't let me upgrade early either. If no-one knows am going into a vodafone store on Saturday to see of they can test it!
But I'm so lost without it - I have brought a cheap emergency mobile however I miss my blackberry!!
Thanking you in advance!Hey zmblake,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
I would suggest to do a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320, please test before restoring any data to the device.
If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)
How to use BlackBerry® Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry® smartphone from a backup file
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
Thank you

HT204389 In hands free mode, why does Siri lock my phone after executing a command?
Anytime I'm using Siri in my car in hands free mode, she locks my phone immediately after executing my command. Then I can't access certain abilities without unlocking first - which obviously is missing the point of hands free mode.
Thank you!May have found a solution for part of this. In the first senario when the two names are presented, repeat request with a verb and a noun. Say call John.
As for the 2nd senerio, I have not been able to find a solution.
Siri appears to be a toy and an advertizing campain talking voice but little else. Upsetting as it was one of the reasons for choosing this platform. It will get better but not soon enough.
For now considering turning it off and using regular voice control agumented by Plantronics Vocalast service. I can possibly go on business trips and use my phone hands free whith the state Siri is in right now. -
My ht-ct80 sound bar keeps turning itself off every 15min.
4 days ago I bought a htct80 sound bar and it keeps turning itself off every 15min. I serched the internet for a solution to no avail. So I need a answer from sony. Its a great sound bar while its on. Please give me a solution or i will have to take it back for a refund this weekend. If anyone else is having this ptoblem. And i know there are many please reply to this post. The more that reply the more likely we will get a rwsponse from sony.
Hello everyone,
The Sound Bar turning off every 15minutes is related to the Auto Standby function due to the Sound Bar not receiving an input signal. Unfortunately, there are two conditions where the sound bar will recieve a low input signal that results in the Auto Standby triggering incorrectly.
The first case is when the TV’s headphone jack serves as an audio output jack. This is not a recommended method for Audio Input for the Soundbar. If you are using this method, check the TV’s audio output settings. For details, refer to the TV’s operating instructions. If you can not change audio output setting, set up TV volume which is strong enough to prevent it from entering Standby mode.
The second case is when you are using a set-top box (Cable box) that has a volume setting. You can either change the Audio Settings on the set-top box for Fixed Audio Out (if available) or increase the volume on the set top box(Cable box) to maximum setting and then adjust the volume on the Sound Bar itself to obtain the desired actual volume.
Thank you,
---Chris -

AirPlay, iPod3, iOS 6.0.1: AirPlay keeps turning itself on. Seems to be since iOS update. I thought my internal speaker was broken! Nope. Just have to keep turning AirPlay off. I'm posting this both for others who might have this problem, and to ask how to keep airplay off.

Iphone 4 ringer volume keeps turning itself down
iphone 4 ringer volume keeps turning itself down?
Hi cainstigator,
If you are having issues with your iPhone's volume setting not staying the way it should, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
