My iPhone says that I don't have enough storage to update one of my apps so I went to delete stuff that I didn't need but every time I select what I want to delete my phone freezes, goes back to the home screen and doesn't delete anything.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Nokia N97 empty home screen freezes out of nothing

Last week my Nokia N97 type RM-505 was delivered, and I had to hard reset it three times since then. I have updated the firmware to V 11.0.021. The problem is as follows:
The home screen freezes totally out of the blue. All the widgets are on screen, but empty, including the selected profile and date next to the clock. The only thing that works is the clock itself. The contacts shortcut has disappeared as well.
By using the menu button I can still perform most tasks on the phone, the phone is much slower however and the battery runs out faster. Reinstalling the firmware or going back to factory settings have no effect at all. The phone has been in this state for up to six hours, either on or off (with the battery taken out).
The problems seems to occur at random, once when I turned it on in the morning, once when using it and twice while not using it but when the phone was turned on. I used a hard reset (*#7370#) the first two times and the third time after I used the *#7780# reset.
I was thinking of returning the phone, but the last time it returned to normal after typing in *#0000#. I couldn't make out however if this was the cause for the phone going back to normal or that it was just a coincidence.
At this moment my phone functions normally, but I am quite worried that it will freeze up again and I have to perform a hard reset again. I have read on a Dutch forum that somebody had exactly the same problem, so if there are more people here please report, hopefully with a permanent solution.
Solved!

Hi...
I was having the exact same problem with an N97 I bought 5 days ago. It randomly froze and all I could see was the clock working. But an added problem I had was that my screen and keys were both locked so I couldn't even perform a hard reset. So basically my phone was frozen, all my widgets were blank and all the keys were locked. The screen unlock key wouldn't work either and opening the slider wouldn't unlock the keypad either. My phone doesn't have a warranty either so I was on the verge of being royally scr**ed.
Luckily after searching around for a few hours, I found these steps to get the keypad unlocked long enough to perform a hard reset:
1. Take out the battery and reinsert after 1 minute.
2. Connect the phone to a computer and let charging begin.
3. Turn on the phone with the slider open.
4. This is important: Do NOT let the screen lock. Press buttons, the keypad button on screen, anything.
5. Hopefully once a few buttons are pressed the numeric keypad on screen should come up.
6. Use *#7370# and default code 12345 to perform hard reset (or soft, depending on your choice)
7. Phone is back in working condition.
However once I had performed all these steps and reinstalled my widgets and stuff, I woke up this morning to find my phone stuck again with the keypad locked. After reading this post I connected my phone to the computer to unlock the keypad and removed the email widget. After restarting my phone it seems to be working just fine. Hasn't gotten stuck or anything for a few hours now. Hopefully the problem won't resurface and I will be able to update to the new firmware and have this issue resolved once and for all. Will post updates if the problem happens again.
Thanks for all the info!

I just had this issue. Go into settings and reset the Apple TV after the firmware update. (note just "reset settings" and NOT back to factory settings)

OK, just remembered that someone had posted a solution for this "login loop" issue.
If you follow the directions here and be sure to enter all of this EXACTLY as it appears here, you may be able to solve this problem.
You will first need to boot into single user mode, which will bring you to a scary looking text only screen. Don't be frightened.
To do this, startup holding the Cmd-S keys together. At the entry which shows root# enter the following exactly. Write it down now, since you won't be able to copy/paste. Pay attention to case and spaces. Everything is lower case. The only spaces are between /sbin/mount and -uw, between -uw and / and between rm and /var/audit/current
Type in
/sbin/mount -uw /
Hit return and then at the next root# prompt, type in
rm /var/audit/current
Then hit return and at the next root# prompt type in "reboot" no quotes. Don't type in anything new until you get the root# prompt after entering each command.
If after entering rm /var/audit/current, you get a message back saying "no such file," then just type in "reboot" at the prompt.

IPhone defaulting back to home screen, freezing and in a loop of rebooting/asking for passcode

iPhone 4, just over a month old, about 2 weeks into use has been playing up since.... I'm certain the problem is the same, but it manifests in different ways, usually daily. If unused for a period (as in an hour or two), the iPhone (when pressing the home button) goes to the black reboot screen, then asks for passcode, back to reboot, passcode and into an interminable loop.
Attempting to launch applications, or the internet, will just revert back to the home screen (as if the home button is pressed), or often, the home button will not work at all.
The onyl way of rectifying this is to shut off or - as this is sometimes not possible - screen and all buttons unresponsive - rebooting (holding home button & one of button)
I'm hoping it's a simple case of reinstalling something, or perhaps reverting to factory settings, but wonder if anyone else has experienced anything similar.

Iphone 4s in settings can't access Notes or Mail. Also can't access mail from home screen. Can't send email. All else is good.

I need help. I have reset my iphone. I have turned it off then on. Still can't launch my built in mail app from home screen. When I try it goes to blank page then right back to home screen view.
In settings for the iphone 4s I can not access Notes or Mail, Contacts,Calendars. When I tap either of the two they highlight in blue and then go right back to Home Screen view. I seem to be able to access everything else in settings with no trouble.
From home screen I have no trouble I can launch the built in utility Notes with no problem. I also can launch Calendars from Home Screen view. My Contacts are still reachable by tapping Phone from H/S view then clicking on contacts.
I can not launch mail. nor can I send email. Also the built in mail app is not showing it is recieving mail either. All else seems fine.
I can log in to my email from Safari on iphone and from my laptop with no problem.
Anyone have any suggestions? My iphone is out of warranty. Apples only suggestions are To pay for support.
Thanks in advance

Just had a thought....was trying to rememberif anything changed last night. I think I installed a mac OS X Security update. That's about the time the trouble started. Any ideas? Thanks.

This is doing my head in!
For the last two weeks i have had the little red button at the top right hand corner of the phone button telling me i have new voicemail. I dont.... i have made sure many times that i dont have any and that they have all be deleted.
What can i do:( It ruins the look of the home screen.
Im on 1.1.4

Hey MatT,
Try resetting the iPhone by holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until you see an Apple appear on the screen.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
If the number does not go away, try calling standard voicemail to see if everything appears normal there. Goto Phone> Keypad> hold #1 key.
You can also restore the iPhone.

How do I get my commando to go to dial pad when I click on the phone on home screen..???

ohhhh how do I get back to being able to click on the phone icon main screen and go to dial pad???

Hi Richard Miller:
Thanks for following up! Did it always do this? When you press the phone icon, it gives the phone functions, and one of them is the call log. Now the call log may appear by default if you have a missed call that hasn't been addressed. Other than that, you should be able to just press "Dial Pad" at the top to get to the dial pad manually. To exit, you can press the home key. Pressing the phone icon again should bring you back to where you left off (dial pad) as long as you've addressed any missed calls in the call log.
If that doesn't work, and you think there's a glitch, you can try pulling the battery and retesting. If that's unsuccessful, you can clear the cache of the dialer app. To do this, go to settings> applications> manage applications> all> dialer/dialer storage> clear cache/clear data/force stop. Warning: This may erase your call history/log.
Please give those steps a try. If that doesn't help, please give more details to your problem. We may not be on the same page yet.
Thanks,

RAZR MAXX Home Screens, and can you remove them.

I know I said in 1 of my others posts that we should send all our tech support questions to Verizon, and that is what I did. I just got the RAZR MAXX today, and I had been playing with my wifes' for the last couple of days, and couldn't find a way to remove some of the 5 default home screens. So while I was at the store, I figured I would ask a tech about doing that. The only problem is, the tech I talked to said " I am not sure if it can be or not, I have never tried.. Why would you want to anyway?"
So here is my question for the real experts... Can they be removed? It has 5, I only want 1. I will then go back to the store and enlighten the tech.

i used ADW launcher on my old incredible for a while. i REALLY liked the launcher. however, when you use a launcher, you can't use the stock widgets that are tied to your UI (touchwiz, sense, blur, etc). i liked the htc widgets too much to stick with ADW launcher. i tried to use comparable widgets by dowloading "beautiful widgets," but they just weren't as nice as htc's so i went back to using the Sense launcher. i'm not familiar with motorola's widgets so a launcher may be worth trying. i just thought i'd share this because if you've never used a launcher, then there are some quirks with them that i didn't realize. when you install it and select it as your default launcher, your will need to set the home screens back up how you want them. one thing you'll notice is that if you got to "add widget" on a screen, the motorola widgets that are specific to your phones skin (or UI. it used to be called blur. i don't know what it's called now?) will not be available.

My home screen shrunk-can't swipe-it's too small

My home screen shrunk when I was viewing photos on my camera roll. I can't swipe-its image is too small-less than a postage stamp-help!

Try resetting your iPad. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
