HP Pre 3 shutting off while making a phone call, even after doctoring.

When I make a phone call and get the phone to my ear instantly (so sensor shuts off the screen) 1 in 8 phone calls my phone would just cut off and shut off. Then I have to hold the power button and switch the mute three times to bring it back to life.
If I make a phone call and let the phone stand in my hand for like 5 seconds before i bring it to my ear it will work just fine.
I also noticed that screen doesn't instantly turns on after I get it away from my ear, sometimes it dimms up really slowly. These occasions are rare but they are still there.
Finally I doctored it (mainly because Skype started to sign me out after 15-20 minutes while on WiFi) and problem is still there.
This problem occured first like few weeks after I got the phone (which is like four months ago) and its been there ever since.
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

So, on a clean (full) restart, scheduled using Preset Reset, we have:

I'm not sure what all that means, or what the marks of a good, planned restart are, but it's a place to begin. Now all I have to do is wait for an unscheduled restart. Hmm, maybe I ought to trigger a luna restart, and see what that looks like in messages, as I don't know whether the unplanned stuff is a full or luna restart.

  • Can't browse the internet while making a phone call

    I AM WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS. I live in the United States and used to have a really cheap phone with this particular carrier and was able to make calls and browse through the internet while on that phone call. Now that i have the new I Phone 6 with that same carrier and i can NO LONGER make a call and browse the internet. This really upsets me since i pay a high bill to have my IPhone plan. I thought it was a problem with my carrier company but the told me that it's an issue with the new IPhone 6.

    It's on, but are you actually in an LTE coverage area? What does it say in the status bar? If you're on the CDMA network, you can not talk and use data at the same time. The "cheap" phone you had that allowed you to do that actually had 2 radios in it, as opposed to the iPhone. Of course, even if you are on LTE, the carrier needs to have enabled Voice over LTE service in that area and on your account.
    Sprint is pretty consistently the worst carrier in the country.

  • Xperia Z2_Screen problem while making a phone call

    Hi,
    I have bought a  Xperia Z2 two days ago. I think, I have a serious problem. When I want to make a phone call, I am writing the numbers and then press the call button, my screen gets completely dark when the phone is still in my hands (not close to my ears). I can still talk with my phone, but I cannot see the screen, therefore it is very difficult to end the call. If I am pressing the power button one-two or more than one-two times, the screen comes back and then I can end the call. I have a screen protector on my screen, which comes within the package of Z2. I tried if the same problem continues without screen protector or not. The answer is yes, it continues. I boot the phone  in the safe mode, but the problem is still there.
    I am waiting your help...

    I see you did your homework about the screen protector and safe mode.Do you have any case?
    Also check if proximity sensor works fine.Dial *#*#7378423#*#*-Service test-proximity sensor.

  • How to type text while making a phone call

    I was topping-up my pay-as-you-go account today and keying in my credit card info when O2 autobot asked me for my postcode. How on earth do you use the letters on the alphanumeric keypad???

    if you are asking how you send letters over a phone call... that is not possible... you can only send 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,*,# perhaps they just want you to press the number key with the letter on it? if this is the issue then you should contact O2 and ask them how to enter letters when prompted for a post code using the IVR system.
    my original post:
    text entry changes depending on what function you are doing...
    the letters on the keypad in the phone application are just there to help you dial numbers that are listed with letters instead of numbers... for example 800 BUY NOW3 or 866HOLIDAY
    if you wish to send a text message press the home button at the bottom of the screen and select the "Messages" icon... if you don't see it slide left or right on the screen with one finger until you find the page it is on.
    once your in messages you can create a new message and when you do so you will find the on screen keyboard changes to a alphabetic one to let you enter the messages. if you need other symbols and numbers on that keyboard press the "123" at the bottom.

  • Sometimes while making a phone call, the person can not hear me but phone is not muted

    I have Iphone 6 and sometimes like once a month, when i make a phone call, the person can not hear me.

    WWe have tried the soft reset.  As of now it only does it to one other phone number I call.  The number is my husbands who is on Same plan. We thought maybe it was just something with the iPhone 6.  The phones are only 3 months old. 

  • While printing on my canon MX892 it shut off and will not come on even after checking plug ins.

    While my canon MX892 was printing it shut down and will not turn back on.  What could have happened to cause this problem?

    Hi Painter6, Please follow these steps to resolve this issue: 1. Please confirm other devices plugged into the electrical outlet power on. At this time, please do not disconnect the printer at the electrical outlet. If there is an empty electrical slot, plug in a lamp to make sure the outlet is working. 2. Disconnect the power cord completely at the back of the printer. 3. Please push the power cord back into the receptacle ensuring that the cord is pushed in as far as it will go. 4. Pull the cord and see if it easily slips out from the connector or if it seems secure. 5. If the machine does not power on automatically, press the ON/OFF button. 6. If the machine does not power on after the power cord was pushed in all the way at the back of the printer and the ON/OFF button was pressed, please unplug the power cord from the machine and leave it unplugged for no less than 20 minutes. 7. Please then reconnect the power cord, ensuring that the cord is pushed in as far as it will go. 8. Press the ON/OFF button. If your PIXMA MX892 does not power on, it is recommended that you contact live technical support . There is NO charge for this call. Real time feedback of a live technical support call would be very beneficial in this case.
    Please dial 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. ET (excluding holidays). A Canon technical support representative will be able to resolve this issue faster.

  • Dropped my iphone while making a phone call and when i picked it up the screen was black and now it will not turn on. I have tried holding down the home and power buttons for over 2 hours and it is not working! help :(

    i dont know how to fix this help

    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Shutting off while talking

    Can anyone tell me why my blackberry curve will shut off while i am talking ot texting? Cingular says i need to download some updates but i don't know how to do that. Can anyone help?

    I've been having the same problem the past 10 days, which got a lot worse today. First I notice what seems to be weak signal and the noise is really ... distorted when I'm inside my room, which has never been the case since Jan when I bough this phone. Then I noticed lots of static when calling or talking. Then the phone shut off on its own while idling, or went down when talking, taking a picture. or browsing. It's also worth mentioning it drain my battery out very quickly. Any insight would really be appreciated.

  • How do you reduce/turn off keypad sound when making a phone call

    How do you reduce/turn off keypad sound when making a phone call?

    If I understand the question correctly, it is not about turning off keyboard clicks, it's about silencing the beeps made when manually keying in a  phone number. With keyboard clicks turned off, the beeps still sound when keying in a phone number. If I'm reading the iPhone User Guide correctly, it explains how to turn off keyboard clicks but not how to silence the   beeps when keying in a phone number. The only way I have found to silence the beeps is to put the phone into silent mode.

    How can you turn off the sounds for receiving a text or e-mail while on a phone call???

    That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.

  • Cannot shut off skype on android phone

    How do you shut off skype from android phone.  I can't find any button to shut it off once it's on!

To change this go in Settings, then Apps. You should be in a tab called "Downloaded." From there, scroll down until you see Skype. Click on Skype, scroll down and touch the "Clear defaults" button. Next time you'll dial make sure to select "Dialer" or something like that (and definitely NOT Skype) before clicking on "Always launch this app". I hope this helps. P.S.: As a follow up from my previous message, I have uninstalled Skype and stopped using it. I switched everything to Google Hangouts and Whatsapp.
