Go to Solution.

Start the smartphone in Safe Mode - for instructions, see KB17877.
On the smartphone Home screen, go to Options > Applications (depending on theme, it may be Settings > Options > Applications).
Select the theme you think is hanging the device, press the Menu key, and select Delete.
Pull the battery to reset the smartphone and allow it to boot up.

  • Downloaded the 3.1 onto my 1st generation i pod touch, when turned on there is an apple with a bar half full under it. I have reset but can not bring up my home screen now. HELP ME!!!

    I have a first generation I pod touch. I recently downloaded the 3.1 version to it. In the middle of the download, an apple with a bar appeared under it, the bar has been only half full for many hours now. I reset the Ipod, but still this appears, and can not get my Ipod to turn off or get to the home screen. I can only reset it to turn it off! HElp me please! Or should I truck it down to the MAC store downtown?

    Try connecting it to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restoring it.  See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into recovery mode.

    Hi iPheariPhoPad,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s an issue with Settings, the Notes app entry isn’t showing up as expected. Take a look at the article linked below and try restarting your iPhone 3GS.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If that doesn’t do it, try restoring your iPhone as shown in this article:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Take care,
    -Jason

  • I need to disable from my home screen:"Will you help imporve Mozilla Firefox by sending info etc.

    At the top of my home page. Shows Will you help imporve Mozilla Firefox by sending information about performance, hardware, etc. Then buttons of Yes, I want to help or No. How can I disable this line?
    I cannot have this line show on the screen at all. I do not want any click action to disable it, I want to remove it completely from showing up ever...

    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

  • Iphone frozen - need help!

    Hi,
    My Iphone has recently frozen was fine one minute then when i looked back a while later the screen was blank and will not turn on.
    Didnt think the battery was dead but nevertheless I have had it on charge all day but my pc, laptop and dock wont pick it up.
    Have also tried the restore - home button + wake button - as i have had this problem once before and this sorted it straight away, but even this wont work now.
    Have also tried to reboot through Itunes (which is up to date) but it does not pick up that the device is even plugged in.
    What can i do?

    Turn your iPhone off by holding down the top on/off button. Then with a paper clip pop out your Simm card ( I think that is what they call it). Make sure see which way its facing. Wait a minute, reinsert card (the right way), and power up phone. Hope this helps you out. It happened to me one time only a while back.

  • E56 screen broken - need help getting number off p...

    I hope someone can help me. The screen on my E65 has broken and I need to get the number off the phone before sending it to be repaired. Without a screen I am flying blind so have no idea what keys I need to be pressing.
    I have tried connecting the phone to my PC with PC Suite but the PC software doesn't recognise the the phone has been connected. Is there something I need to do on the phone to complete the connection?
    The other way to get the number would be to copy them from the phone memory to the SIM. Can anyone tell me the key presses I need to do to achieve that?
    Help gratefully received.
    ...Neil

    When you connect your phone to your pc with the usb cable, a list if connection mode options normally appears on your phone display. You need to select  "Pc Suite". What you could do is plug in phone to usb, select. If that doesn;t work, disconnect, reconnect scroll down one and select again. Keep trying until it finally connects to PCSuite. There are only 4-5 options so you won;t have to try that many times.

  • Nokia 6350 flip phone broken lcd screen..need help...

    Hi there. After running over my phone with the car My lcd screen no longer shows any text. The phone works fine but I cannot navigate around the various menus. I have tried hooking it up to a pc using the nokia pc suite software but that has not worked out . Can anyone please inform me of a way to retrieve the stored phone numbers? I have tried putting the 3g simm chip into another phone but it did not contain the contact list, address book or recent call list. There is one number in particular that I need to see. Thank you very  very much    albacore

    if pc suite failed you should try getting the screen replaced or check your phone bill or go online to your operators website and see what they can offer
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • My iPod is stuck on home screen.  Please help.

    Okay, so heres what happened. I was downloading an app from the mobile app store and it started acted very weird. While the app was installing, it had the picture of the icon already loaded but it still had the "Installing" bar below it. It was taking forever but after awhile it just shut down and restarted. So after it restarted it just displayed the Apple logo startup screen, but it has been stuck there for three days now. The only way I can keep it from burning the image into the screen is to force shut down by holding the home button and the power button at the same time. I have read about many people having this problem after jail breaking their iPods but mine isn't jail broken. Also, I tried reseting it to factory settings via iTunes but it displays a weird error and says reset error and cant reset. Also, now it locks up iTunes every time I connect it. This is unbelievably frustrating and I hope someone can help me with my problem.

  • Trying to connect to xbox live using my home network, I need help.

    I have a xbox 360 that I want to connect to xbox live with, using my home network. Every time I try to connect to xbox live the only part that fails is the connecting to xbox live part. This is how my network is set up. I have Cox Cable as my ISP, a Linksys WCG200 gateway(v2), and WRT54GS(v7). The cable wire is connected to the WCG200 gateway, then an Ethernet cable connects the gateway to the WRT54GS router, and finally an Ethernet cable connects the router to my xbox 360. I have contacted Cox, Linksys, and Microsoft about the situation and they all say the problem is the version of the router. Someone told me that I may just need to change the firmware, but I don't know how to do that. If anyone could tell me what the problem is and hopefully how to fix it, it would be much appreciated.

    u might to open port numbers 88 and 234 on your router
    here's how to open ports
    1: open IE and on the address bar, type in 192.168.1.1 and hit enter
               USERNAME: ( leave it blank )
               PASSWORD: admin ( all in lowercases )
    2: click on the tab " applications and gaming "  then click on the SUBTAB port triggering.
    3: you can just name the application like, box or whatever and fill in 88 for each of the boxes in the first line
    4: same goes to application number 2 but you have to put 2304 for each of the boxes and pls do not forget to enable it, then save settings
    5: Teset the xbox if it's now working.
    6: if still not working, go to the SECURITY tab and uncheck the bock that says, " block anonymous internet requests and save settings.
    7: teset xboox agan and if it still won't work
    8: go to the SET UP tab and look for MTU.
    9: set it to manual and lower down the size by 10.( by default, it's 1500. )→ save settings.
              Hope it will help. goodluck!

  • My phone was dropped by my baby and now it has lines on it and I cant unlock the home screen. Please help

    My phone was dropped this morning by my toddler. It now has vertical lines across part of the screen and when I try to swipe the phone open nothing happens. Any suggestions

    Some Apple stores are able to replace the screen on the iPhone 5, but they need to test it to be sure there are no other things wrong after the drop.  Take it to an Apple store genius bar and see what they can find and what they say to do with it.

  • Cracked ipad 4 screen. Need Help!

    Hi I bought a new ipad 4 last week from best buy and the screen cracked when my son dropped it. I did not buy any warranty or anything. Do you think best buy will replace it? If not does anyone know a decent price place where I can get it fix? Thanks for the help.

    Hi niv1854,
    As kyomagi said, we aren't able to repair iPads unless you purchased a Geek Squad Protection plan. I'm sorry that your iPad broke so soon and that we can't be more help under the circumstances. You may want to contact Apple directly for cash on demand repair service.
