  • Phone going crazy like someone else has control of it... Any fix or updates for this?

    My wifes LG G2 phone has been going crazy for quite some time now... Acts like some else has control of it. I've read in other forums that this is quite an issue with lots of other people and its a software issue but can't seem to find a fix for it. Any ideas?

    You can do 1 of 3 things, or all.  1:  use verizon's cloud to back up whats on the phone, like contacts, pictures and music etc...just know you only have 5GB of cloud space with VZW.  2:  Use Google.  Since you have a google OS and I'm sure her email is connected to the phone, all contacts will be backup up that way and you can use Google Drive since you have 15GB with Google to back up media and such.  The app settings are set to Google backup already.  3:  You can attach the phone to the computer and set to Media Sync/Device and back up everything media-wise to the PC.  I suggest doing this method though:  Use Verizon or Google to back up the contacts and the PC for media.  Its just faster and easier PLUS...when you RESET do the following:  Settings-- Backup and Restore--UNCHECK automatic restore.  This will keep your saved app settings from reloading and might help with any problem app that was on the phone.  After reboot you'll have a just-like out-of-the-box phone.  It'll take time for verizon or google to sync up and you'll need to disable whatever apps you had disabled previously as well as reset-up your preferences, but its the easiest thing to do rather than wait til Mon-tues for a replacement.  If this doesnt work, you'll definitely need to exchange.  And, since VZW is going to require you to reset the phone anyway you'll be ahead of the game.  IT IS POSSIBLE for you to call them on your phone and let them remotely diagnose your wife's phone, but I'm sure you'd need to reset before doing that out of privacy.

    Hi iprover,
      Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
    Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
    This is what I gather.
    iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
    This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
    My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
    That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
    All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

  • Help me please going crazy, I have my Iphone 4S getting my e-mails from my computer using outlook but when I delete yhem on my computer they stay on my phone, I am syncing via the cloud, Is there a setting that stopps this e-mail from growing on my phone?

    For outlook or hotmail emails they use a pop server technology that you can't sync your computer and your iPhone with. You have to unfortunately delete the emails from both devices. It is super frustrating but that is the only way.
    Hope this helps.

  • Iphone 5C wifi greyed out and screen going crazy

    Hi I bought my iPhone back in October in Us from Tmobile, since December the wifi greyed out and hasn't worked once (been living on data) now recently the screen goes crazy, it types by its self unlocks the phone (dont have a password) sometimes calls people etc... now the thing is I recently moved to Dubai and I cant go to a apple store as we do not have one here, so could I ship my phone to States and have apple repair it or give me a replacement if I pay for their shipping costs back to Dubai ? Thanks for any help I can get

    If not jailbroken, restore the iOS. Most likely there is a hardware problem
    The warranty is valid only in the USA.  Apple will not accept shipment from or ship to any address outside the USA for this phone.

  • Nokia N81 8gb Screen goes crazy

    ok so i buaght my Nokia N81 like in january last year and ive been using it quiet regularly....
    Until today... I slid the phones slider to reveal the keys to write a text message, when the screen went crazy with funky colours and such lines and random things on the screen. If i slide it up and down while its like this it changes its effects and stuff as if its something to do with the contacts of the slider and the screen. If i let the screen black out into powersaver it returns normal but if i slide it again to close the phone or open it back up it goes nuts again.
    i tried leaving the battery out but no use.
    LOTS OF HELP please ?
    i was thinking a factory reset ??

    Hi! I have the same problem as well! And this is the SECOND time this is happening! The first time I took it back to my SP, and they then replaced it with a brand new handset; that was 10 months after using my phone for the first time. Now, 8 months after receiving my brand new handset, I have the same problem again!
    What was very strange to me, before it first happened, was that my slider became REALLY tight and difficult to manouevre,  so I slid the screen up and down as it felt like there was something obstructing the slider, and out came a clear piece of sticky plastic film... I took no note of it, until the same thing happened to me about 2 weeks before my phone went wonky again.The funny thing is, my fiancé has the 2gb phone, and he seems to have no trouble at all with his handset, and he's now had his phone for more than a year (that's longer than I've had both of my handset before going crazy), so I'm thinking it must be a problem with the N81 8gb models. Now I need to take the phone back AGAIN, which I'm not very happy about... I don't want to have to take my phone back, or repair it, every 8 to 10 months... It's a waste of my time AND money.
    Oh, and another thing... when they replaced my handset, I asked them what the problem was with my phone, and they said that they didn't know, but that they couldn't fix it! SERIOUSLY?! So now how exactly will I get to repair my phone if the Nokia technicians can't even find the problem NOR fix it?! I've basically spent ALL this money on a phone that only works for a few months until it's irrepairably broken... I don't think I'll be using another Nokia after this again...

  • My touch screen goes crazy when rain drops fall on it

    When I operate my phone in rain my touchscreen responds to the rain drops. My touchscreen responds crazy when raindrops fall on it.

    There are other threads concerning this, for example:

  • My iphone screen goes crazy when it charges

    Hey there,
    Whenever I charge my iPhone my screen goes crazy when I touch it. If i'm typing whilst its charging it clicks random things and deleted what i've typed. The phone works completely fine when its not charging and I haven't had any other problems with it. I have the iPhone 5c iOS 7.1.1 (about to update after this post).
    If anyone could help me that would be great!
    Ps. Someone posted a video and my phone does the same
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbsNCjbs-xg

    I have the same exact problem and I use an Apple charger and lightning wire cord. Resetting the phone doesn't work and neither does shutting it off and turning it back on. It is infuriating to say the least, especially because this stupid phone spends more time on the charger than off. The battery is crap.

  • Touchscreen going crazy

    My phone is going crazy! Sometimes the touch screen will not register the letters I am pressing and randomly presses letters by itself. The phone will open apps by itself without me even touching it, open emails etc. I seriously want to throw it! I just got the phone brand new from Apple about 4 months ago or so. I end up having to shut the phone down for a few minutes but lately, even that isn't fixing the problem. I've synced my phone and updated all apps. Is anyone else having a similar problem or know a solution?

    I have never had the same or similar problem.
    Standard troubleshooting steps in order are:
    Power your iPhone off and on.
    An iPhone reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so.
    Restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
    Restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
    If no change after the last step, the iPhone includes a one year warranty. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • My black berry tour 9300 is going crazy help ASAP!

     I went away for a week and the second day my phone started going crazy. It would freeze and type in huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu until the whole thing was filled with it and when i try to type "hahahaha" it ends up like this "huahuahuahua" i first thought that maybe i got sand in it so i brought that air duster you use for keyboards on computers it helped a little but its still freezing i still cant type in words or use my key board or my enter button, end button, and menu button. What can i do? it also took my pictures and deleted them. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

    It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
    Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
    It really is more common than you think.
    1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
    2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
    3. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
    *Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
    Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
    On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
    On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

  • My touchscreen goes crazy when I am on a call.

    It does not do this any other time but when I am on a call. Applications start opening, the phone goes on mute, then it goes on speaker, then it opens contacts - it is driving me insane. If I am not ona call it is totally fine.
    My power button is also not working. Not sure if the two issues are related, but I know that they started around the same time.
    I have tried letting battery run out and have tried resetting the network settings. My software is up to date.
    Am I going to have to suck it up and take it in?

    Mine start doing crazy things while I was listening to music. The phone was just lying on my desk with nothing special around it, and certainly I was not touching it. I noticerd the screen had some finger prints, so I figured it might have been body oil making contact.. so I just wiped the phone with my shirt and it went back to normal. This is kind of creepy because it can go into an app and start buying some **** without my consent..

  • N70 memory going crazy!!Help!!

    My N70, after nearly 2 yrs of usage, is suddenly going crazy. The phone memory is getting filled up on its own accord and now shows 0KB to be free. I cannot open any of the application even to delete them.
    The memory card (1GB) has a good 207MB free.
    I read the posts about resetting my phone using *#7370#.. but I am a bit apprehensive about this. Currently I am backing up my phone as well as memory card.
    Can somebody guide please?
    Thanks

    hi there kgauri
    The best solutions it's REALLY do *#7370#.
    this will erase all the phone data and setting the phone factory settings.
    it will work just fine!oh...DO NOT do a memory backup to the MMC and then restore it...if the problem it's in any aplication...the problem will reapear..
    Do a set by step backup..put your sms on the MMC..copy the contacts and any aplcation to your MMC.
    Cheers
    My other phone it's a Nokia!!

  • Volume control goes crazy

    Hello,
    I have had my 60GB iPod for over 6 months now. Recently I've noticed that the volume control goes crazy even though nothing is touching it. It would go up and down for a few seconds in the middle of a song. I did notice that it tends to happen when my cellphone is close to it. I am wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem or if anyone can explain what is happening. Can I do anything to fix it?
    Thanks,
    DeMarHc

    Yes - it's a known issue with some cell-phones.
    All you can really do is keep your phone further away from the iPod.
    Cheers!

  • HT4623 hi i have an iphone 4s and has not been a year yet no water damage but there is a white cloudy screen around the edges and will start going crazy with different colors and all someone please gel what is wrong with it?

    hi
    i have an iphone 4s and has not been a year yet no water damage but there is a white cloudy screen around the edges and will start going crazy with different colors and all someone please gel what is wrong with it?

    I switched the usb port and did the whole recovery holding of the buttons ect... And it worked, the computer detected the phone and i was able to click restore. However, the computer says preparing iphone for restore and it is still doing the restarting thing where the apple fades away and then comes back like it is restarting. If i can somehow get past this i will be able to go back to factory settings and resolve my problem, but this is where i am stuck.
