Locking up, screen not functioning properly- what's wrong?

My first smart phone and only limited experience with a borrowed Iphone. Initially I was impressed with the capabilities and now no real need to take notebook when traveling. However, in the first week the phone totally froze after taking a pic and then trying to open the Gallery app. Performed reset by removing the battery, which is annoying and seems crude compared to pushing a reset button with a pen tip. About a week later, the pinch and expand zoom function quit working, but everything else seemed OK. Performed another reset. Is this normal smart phone behavior? Is the phone defective and should be returned? When it fails again, I plan on taking it to Vz store without doing a reset. I have no time or patience for another buggy tech device. Computers, mp3 etc are enough

Out of curiousity are you using a task manager, it sounds like you may be running your resources thin, many say using a task manager isnt wise but all my issues with lock ups and lags went away when I installed a task manager, besides I feel that running 10 or 15 apps in the background doesnt make any since...  If not installed give Advance Task Manager a try, its free on the Market, but remember to activate auto and exclude needed apps..
Check here for my perfered settings, with these I havent had any issues....

  • Lately pdf files from the Web do not display properly; what is wrong and how can I fix it so I don't have to use IE?

    I am a professor and frequently need to open pdfs of academic journal articles from electronic databases. Within the last two or three weeks, when I try to do this using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf displays and the rest are blank. In addition, a bar appears across the top with the message "This pdf file may not display properly." So I have had to switch to Internet Explorer to open the files and do my research. What is going on and how can I fix it so I can open pdf files from the Web in Firefox and have them display properly?

    My question is simple - why would you put an application in production that has a lot of bugs? To replace a good and steady Adobe product? My customers will believe that I put a pathetic fallible form online. They are not sophisticated on computers so I just tell them to use IE. Ugh
    I must agree with pgwebgirl!

  • I just downloaded Photoshop Elements 13 and IMPORT is not functional.    What is wrong?

    I just downloaded Photoshop Elements 13 and IMPORT is not functional.    I reinstalled the printer /scanner and still not functional.   My computer is recognizing the printer.   What is wrong?

    I guess the first thing you now need to do is to get the latest drivers for your printer because as you say you uninstalled it from your machine and now reinstalled it again.  I don't know why you thought printer should have been uninstall;led but anyway, please reinstall the driver and then see if it is recognized by your operating system and try scanning something as a test from outside the PSE13 before going back to PSE13 and trying to scan your real image.
    Please post back so that Barbara or R_Kelly can help you as I don't use Apple Mac.

  • HT4623 The APP application on my iPad does not function properly - any downloads requested immediately fail and send me back to the main iPad screen.  Any suggestions on how to fix this - all software has been updated to iOS 5.1.1 and no other updates are

    The APP application on my iPad does not function properly - any downloads requested immediately fail and send me back tot he main iPad screen.  Any suggestions on to hoe to fix this?  The software has been updated to iOS 5.1.1, and no furthe updates are available.

    This is my boilerplate response when app downloads are stalled or in the "waiting" mode. There are a bunch of things here to try.
    Tap on the "installing" icon and see if you can pause the install, then tap on it again in order to resume the install.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download and install at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and see if the install resumes.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • X120E Multi Core Warning -The hardware is not functioning properly. What now?

    Ran the Thinkpad ThinkVantage Test and received a Warning on the CPU Multi-core test.
    The hardware is not functioning properly. To correct the problem:
    Turn off the system.
    Detach the power cord and wait for one minute.
    Re-attach the power cord and re-boot the system.
    Re-run the test.
    Performed the above, still receiving the warning.
    What next?

    Have you contacted Lenovo Support? The only thing I can think of is either a straight-up hardware defect or maybe cooling fan blockage of some sort. Could be the RAM, though it's unlikely. Still, if it consistently has this issue, and something like Prime95 errors out on one of the cores, you may need to RMA it.

  • Satellite P300D-110 integrated webcam is not functioning properly.

    Hello everyone,
    as the title says, the integrated webcam of my Toshiba Satellite P300D-110 is not functioning properly. Allow me to explain. Using the Camera Assistance Software I can take photo's and record music. If I try to record a video the preview screen turns up black and the end result tuns out black aswell, completely black.
    Whenever I try to use my camera with applications such as MSN Live Messenger, Skype or at community websites using Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari the application in question crashes.
    *How did this happen?*
    You tell me. This is how it went;
    * Day 1: I've started up my laptop and looked at my fresh and clean install of windows vista home premium. I tried out my webcam using the webcam assistance software and it worked like a charm.
    * Day 2: Once again I boot up my laptop and try to start my webcam only to find out that it no longer functions.
    To give a quick summary of the thread;
    * Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can take pictures.
    * Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can record sound.
    * Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can _*NOT*_ record or preview a video.
    * I can not start my camera using any other application such as but not limited to; MSN Live Messenger, Skype, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safar.
    * I have downloaded and isntalled the latest drivers from the Toshiba website.
    * My laptop is about a week old.
    I'm not sure what more I can do, all I want is for the webcam to work, if anyone can help me out please do so.
    And if possible WITHOUT having to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium.
    I haven't even used it and wouldn't want to make that a solution for all the problems that might occur in the future.
    Sincerely,
    a sad customer.

    Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can NOT record or preview a video.
    Can you please describe the steps how you try to do this? I must ask you this because it runs well on my notebook. When the recording is finished player opens and you can see recorded movie. It is avi format and at the top of this player you can see the path where the movie is saved.
    Most strange thing for me is that you cannot use it with Skype. Ok for MSN is not the perfect but there is absolutely no problem with Skype. Check the settings and it must work somehow.

  • MacBook Air not functioning properly

    Hi all, my MacBook Air (running on Lion OS X while downloading Mavericks, purchased in 2012) is not functioning properly. Over the summer I tend to not use my laptop a lot since I mainly use it for schoolwork. I had opened my Air for the first time in a while and it was fine - however after that I had left the screen open and the screen went dark. I had left my Air open for a few weeks and when I tried to turn it on, it would not do anything. It would not respond to anything I did and eventually had to restart my computer in SafeMode. I thought I had fixed my problems however a few applications were giving me trouble
    iPhoto would not open at all and after many failed attempts to debug my issues, I had to delete the application from my computer entirely. Eventually I tried to redownload it from the appstore but it wouldn't work so I gave up.
    Recently, I noticed that my Mail application will not open (even though the system preferences for it will). I also noticed that a few of my System Preferences will not open - Energy Saver, Desktop & Screen Saver, and Spotlight.
    I am currently downloading the newest update, Mavericks. I did download Mountain Lion, however when I rebooted my laptop over the summer in Safe Mode I must have reverted back to a back up that did not have Mountain Lion downloaded into my computer.
    I am at a loss of what to do.

    check my questions looks similar problem and I have solve it

  • Bought a Mac Mini.  at 18 day's old it started to lock up and not function.  Took it in and they wiped and reinstalled it.  Well at 24 day's old it's been sitting in the box not being used.  First and last Mac for me. But can I get something for the junk?

    I have pulled it out of the box and put 2 Mac approved mem sticks in it to boost it to 8 Gigs mem and it still locks up and freazes..  So many people told me Mac was the way to go...  1500 dollers could have bought me a great pc laptop.  Now I have a wirless mouse keyboard and a mac mini (aka Brick) that allowed me to donate money to a cause that is helping buildings and companies out side of the US.  While I have junk..  It's still under warranty and I reinstalled the os after the new mem sticks.  Again.. locks up and does nothing.  What can I do with this?  Toss it in the trash?  Any info on what I might do with it.. Please help!

    It would be most helpful if you updated your system information:
    Please reconcile the following
    at 18 day's old it started to lock up and not function. Took it in and they wiped and reinstalled it. Well at 24 day's old it's been sitting in the box not being used.
    ... I reinstalled the os after the new mem sticks.
    If your Mini is anything less than six months old it would be running Lion, not 10.6.1, nor would it have been necessary to "reinstall the OS". Any help that anyone can provide is predicated on your system configuration so it's important.
    If you are running Lion then boot your Mini while holding the D key. This will load Apple Hardware Test which will enable you to test your memory. "Mac approved" memory is sort of vague, and even memory that is allegedly designed to meet your Mini's specification may fail. There few reputable memory vendors.
    "Apple installed" memory is more meaningful, and indicates Apple has tested it and guarantees its function. Otherwise all bets are off with a claim of "Mac approved". You will have to verify that yourself with Apple Hardware Test.
    If your Mini was running, or ever ran OS 10.6.1 for that matter, it is close to three years old.
    You must clear up these uncertainties before anyone can help.

  • After I updated to iOS 7.0.2 my lock button is not working properly

    After I updated to iOS 7.0.2 my lock button is not working properly I push the button many times and after many failed attempts it locks and sometimes not. I had to use the accesibility tool to lock it manually from the screen, this is really annoying.

    I guess it is.
    Do you have a question, or are you just sharing your experience with us?

  • One or more of cells in the battery are not functioning properly?

    one or more of cells in the battery are not functioning properly
    I assume this means I need a new battery?  This was the message I got when I did the battery check.  
    The battery will not charge.  Laptop just runs on AC power and battery is in but will not charge.  What happens that causes cells in battery to not work?  I did leave it off a few months.  Would take make the battery go bad?
    Thanks for any info you can give me.  Have a HP G60-230US Notebook PC

  • HCPL0631 is not functioning properly please help!!

    To adminitrator,
    I am trying to use the HCPL0631 optocoupler for my simulation. However, this optocoupler will not function properly and will not give me a good result.
    I have attached the circuit diagram in the attachment, please let me know what is wrong with my circuit causing the components to fail.
    thank you for your kind attention

    Actually, never mind about that, the model for the HCPL0631 isn't very good. It doesn't actual have a open collector output. It also has a built in VCC of 5V, so the power supply that you are attaching isn't really being used. Your problem is grounding. Multisim constructs mesh current and node voltage equations for simulation and can't do it accurately if you don't specify the ground for your circuit.
    Try adding a ground to the GND terminal of the optoisolator. You should also have a ground attached to the cathode of the optoisolator or neutral wire of the function generator. The GROUND component is in the Master Database in the Sources group and in the POWER_SOURCES family.

  • Extension may not function properly...

    My co-worker has been having some issues with her InDesign crashing latley. I opened up her Extensions manager just to see if I could find anything abnormal, and found alot of the extensions for InDesign have little yellow triangle warnings next to them. When I hover the mouse above it, it says "Extension may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency condition. I don't know what this means, or what should be done to resolve the issue.
    I checked my extensions manager on my computer at work, and i don't have any of these warnings on my InDesign extensions. So, I'm thinking this might be the cause of her InDesign crashing, but not sure.
    I clicked on the checkmark of one of her extensions, Assignment UI, to disable it, but not sure if I should do the same with the rest of them. After I disabled it, I can't see how to re-enable it. I try to click back on the box to enable it, but it doesn't do anything.
    She was just upgraded to OSX 9 Maverick today, but prior to that was using OSX 10.7.xx (Whatever the latest version was). I am currently using OSX 10.8.5, but wil be upgrading to Maverick soon as well.
    We are both using Mac 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Macs with 16 GB memory. Both are using CS6, with the latest updates for InDesign applied.
    If anyone has any ideas on what to do with her extensions that have warnings it would be appreciated.
    Steve

    Many InDesign pre-installed extensions (Those extensions you have immediately after InDesign installation) define dependency rules in their mxi files. Dependency means that one extension works well only if one or more other extensions are installed and enabled. If this condition is not met, the yellow triangle warning will be shown.
    You can select an extension with warning, click "Advanced" tag page in the lower right panel. You will see "This extension has dependency on: <extension name> ...". Check whether every extensions listed here are available and enabled. If not, enable them. Repeat these steps for all the extensions which have warning.
