Keypad blinks when used during call. Anyone know how to stop it?

Like most phones, the screen goes dark and input is stopped when you hold the phone against your head when making a call. Take the phone away from your head, and it comes back on.
With the Moto X, all this works, but when I'm dealing with an automated system, such as Verizon billing or support, when I go to press a key, the keypad blanks out, and the number isn't sent. It's like the phone thinks my hand is a head. It makes it almost impossible to "press 1 for English", and it's the biggest flaw I've found in the phone, other than absence of MHL.
I note that our new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 doesn't have this problem, and you can turn off the display blanking feature in Display setup. Is there a configuration switch somewhere that helps with this problem on the Moto X?

Cascode,
That is a very good question. When you are trying to press a number on the key pad while a phone call is going on is your hand going over the sensors on the top of the phone? If it is, that could trigger the phone screen to shut itself off. Keep us posted.

I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

Anyone know how to stop the "activate" box from blocking usage of a perfectly legal copy of Ilisten? I want to help my dyslexic grandson and this box, including the activation code, keeps popping up, keeping me from using the software. I activated the program and did a few profile building sessions, now it pops up each time I start the program, blocking me from using it. Help sure would be appreciated.

I looked at your post this morning and did not know enough to respond, other than to find out that links to iListen now go to newer, renamed software. Considering it's been nine hours with no response, I'm suspecting few people here have experience with that software. You could contact the current copmany that used to sell that package and see if they have any archived support info.
BTW: please check you entry for "Mac OS" in your profile. It says iOS, which cannot run on an iMac. iOS is the system for phone and iPads but can't run on Mac computers. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and see what it says about the OS version. Should look like this:
If the "Processor" line says "Intel," you have a newer Mac than the old modles this forum covers; Intel iMac have their very own forum here:

Hi! I've just purchased a new iPhone 5s but whenever I text people with iPhones it's always sent from my iCloud account. This means that my email show instead of my name/number which is really frustrating! Does anyone know how to stop this?

Hi! I've just purchased an iPhone 5S but whenever I text people with iPhones it sends from my iCloud account. This means that my email comes up for other people not my name/number which is really frustrating! Does anyone know how to stop this?

Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive> Is your phone number checked there? If you do not want your email used, then tap on them and remove the checkmark. If there is no checkmark by your phone number, then turn iMessage off, perform a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Turn iMessage on. When it activates, check your settings again under Send and Receive and make sure the number is checked and the emails are not.

Thank you.

Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Wait until it finishes. It's just downloading the headers of the emails in your account and caching them offline for quick access. Once it has finished it will go back to just downloading new emails as normal.

Does anyone know how to stop the "frequently visited websites" box from popping up when doing a search in Safari?

Hi,
I just upgraded to Yosemite and Safari is now showing a frequently visited websites box right below the address bar when I start to type something in it. Does anyone know how to deactivate this box? Its rather irritating.
Thx

Uncheck the box beside "Show Favorites".
I haven't tested this long enough to say that this works always.
Best.
Yup, that works.

IPod nano "forgets" song screen when it wakes. Anyone know how to fix that?

II've had my 7th gen nano for almost a year and suddenly when I'm playing a song, and it goes to sleep, it wakes to the home screen instead of then of the
song screen. This is really annoying when I'm trying to quickly navigate. There are also some slip ups with is goes to sleep while recording a voice memo. Everything works fine when nano is plugged in and I hit power since it can't sleep while plugged in, which isn't helpful. Anybody experience this or know how to fix it? I've reset settings and shut it down already! nothing. Thank you!

If you did the Reset (to restart the iPod)
Reset your iPod - Apple Support
you may need to do a Restore using iTunes
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.

My husbands forgot his security questions answers and his rescue email is no longer in use. Does anyone know how to get round this because he can't download anything.x

My husband been froze out of his Apple I'd account. His rescue email is no longer in use and he's forgot the answers to his security questions.
Anybody know how to get round this?

i think, You have to contact the Hotline to fix this, because You have to authenticate Yourselfe in an unofficial Way like Credit Card Number.

Anyone know how to stop the slideshow from looping?

Does anyone know which file to edit in order to stop the slideshow from looping? Where the code would be or, what code to add.
I am not aware of a setting from within iweb itself.
I assumed it was the slideshow.js file but I didn't find anything in there.
Such as a loop "true"
HELP

That worked great.
I assume what we are doing is copying and editing the
.mac slideshow file,
and then pointing to it's location in the folder. How
Yes, that's exactly it.
did you know what the code would be? I guess you must
be very Java savy, because it definetly wasn't an
obvious one.
It took me two days to reverse engineered dot mac slideshow
Is there a way to get the slideshow window to close
after it's finished? What I get is a freeze frame on
the last photo of the show.
I know you gonna ask that yes, change the added line in slideshow.js to this:
if (count == ((imgs.length) - 1)) { this.pause(); setTimeout("window.close()", 5000); }; // close window after 5 sec, change 5000 to whatever you like.

When I try to make a call from my contacts my 4s sends me to texts instead anyone know how to stop this

Any answers

I am having the exact same issue and have called customer service no less than 5 times, husband has called once. Every time I get a new answer. We've been told go buy new sim card from walmart (for $50???!!! Not going to happen for this brand new phone I just bought a week ago from Best Buy) or get one from my local verizon store (which, by the way, won't or doesn't do a THINK with prepaid cell phones). Been told our phone is no good and to return it. Been told we don't get coverage here. (Have been able to successfully make 2 calls and receive 1 so that can't be the case.) Twice we have thought the issue was resolved, only to find that when we hung up with the customer service rep, it was right back to where it was before.......we ported a number in from another prepaid carrier, which may be the issue as the phone worked before this. But, Geez, Verizon, I've had the phone activated for 1 week and have gotten to use it so little. By the way, texting and 4g LTE work perfectly! And Verizon, getting through to a human on that menu of yours? Hmm.....

Does anyone know how to stop my I Pad from going to the main screen when I'm using it ?

Every time I use my I pad on any screen it jumps back to the main screen any ideas

I'm not sure if this will do it, but try a rest. Hold down the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 15 seconds until the Apple appears.
Hope this helps.

When I download photos from my camera in preview, I get duplicates on my desktop. Does anyone know how to stop this?

I have been downloading (Importing) some photos from my camera, using Preview. As I select them to import and hit the button "Import", they are immediately saved on my desktop, rather than just appearing in Preview, wher I normally choose which ones I wish to save. Is there a way I can stop this happening? I am using a iMac intel with OS 10.6.8 and Preview version 5.0.3.
Normally, when I Import, I get a preview window with the images I chose. I dont get a secnt set on my desktop.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Desmond

Thank you for your response.
I am sorry I should have said Image Capture not Previews. The files end up as duplicates on my desktop or in Pictures. I was told by someone that the same thing happens in iPhoto as well as not being able to select which photos to save and that using Image Capture should be better.
My iPhoto is version 8.1.2 and Image Capture is 6.0.1.
Thanks
Desmond
