My Lumia Icon goes dark during calls and I cannot access the phone pad to unless I hit the power button.

My Lumia Icon goes dark during calls and I cannot access the phone pad to unless I hit the power button.  Because of this it makes it tough to put my phone on speaker or type in my v-mail password.

I've been trying to find a common denominator. It happens inconsistently. It never happened before the Denim update. When it does occur, the screen goes black immediately upon answering the call and doesn't come back until the call is ended by the calling party.
I thought it might be the proximity sensor, but when it's working normally I can see the screen go dark when it's at my ear and comes back when I take it away (tried it multiple times). I had Gestures Beta installed. I wondered if that could have an affect so I uninstalled it, but that didn't make any difference. I'm still stumped by the inconsistency. I haven't reset my phone as I didn't really want to go through that...

    WE know Disk Warrior is more reliable, hence more useful, and should be in any disk mechanics toolchest.
    For the record, I don't know anything of the kind. I have yet to see evidence that Disk Warrior is useful at all.
    What I do know is that you seem to take every opportunity you get to promote it in these forums. Do you work for Alsoft?
    Let me be a little more explicit. My opinion is that Disk Warrior is a waste of money if one has backups. If a journaled HFS directory is so badly corrupted that it can't be repaired by Disk Utility, then the volume should be reformatted and restored from backup, which has the same effect as running DW, but is probably faster and doesn't cost $99.

  • Skype screen goes white during calls and video calls

    Hi,
    I'm using Windows 8.1 and recently after the latest skype upgrade I'm getting a white screen during regular calls and during video call while I can talk and hear the other side and on the video call the other side can see me. Important to mention that I see the contact list on the left side.
    What should I do in order to fix it? (tried reinstalling skype)
    Thanks a lot in advance!

  • HT4623 when i get a call or make one I have to use the speaker phone.I hear nothing after the phone rings but when I  hit the soeakerphone icon i can hear the caller but so does everyone else.

    When I receive or make a phone call, I have to hit the speaker phone icon to hear the conversation and so does everyone else around me.
    My phone was perfect until I updated to the newest version.
    The person making the call can hear me, but I cant' hear them until I push the speakerphone.
    Any resolve to this please and thankyou.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Phone Cuts Off During Calls and Jumps to Facetime & Speaker Phone

    My Mom's IPhone 4, during phone calls, constantly cuts off (doesn't register as dropped calls though,) jumps into facetime and jumps into speaker phone for no known reason.  She has taken it to the Apple Store Support Team three times.  The first time she was not treated nicely and was told nothing was wrong, the second time I went with her and they wiped her phone clean and started from scratch and the third time she bought a brand new phone.  None of these options have worked and the problem persists.  This is her fourth IPhone over three years of no major issues until now, so I don't see why this would just start happening for her in the last year.  Are there similar issues like this in the community and does anyone have an idea how to solve it?

    I'm sorry for misunderstanding you, but you said she went to the Apple store and the third time she bought a new phone. Did the new phone work then? Is the issue still persisting on the old device? That's where I'm confused. Did she get the device replaced or just buy a new phone and the problem is still happening on the old device.

  • I forgot my passcode and I cannot access my phone.  What do I do?

    I forgot my passcode to my iphone.  What do I do?

    "If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present." http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

  • When i try to make a call it automatically goes to end call and back to my contacts

    when i try to make a call it automatically goes to end call and back to my contacts

    This is a common problem with iPhone 4s (and IOS 5)  There isn't ' anything you can do about it, so you're best bet is to go down to the store and get an exchange. If you have an older iPhone (3gs/4) roll back your update from IOS 5 to IOS 4.

  • I would like to be able to create a few icons with photos on them and linked to a persons phone number.

    Hi, my father is in the middle stages of dementia and having trouble using his new iphone. I would like to be able to create a few icons with photos on them and linked to a persons phone number. This way he can select an icon and it will auto-dial that number. I did some research and an app called SBphotoDial did exactly what I need but it no longer seems to be available in the App Store. Any thoughts?

    See Here for iPhoto...
    iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
    Make sure that the EXT Drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

    My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen will not come on and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. It glows white background light then goes dark for the entire time I am using it. Any suggestions?

    I had the same problem.  Someone here told me to make sure my earbuds were in securely.  Push until they click in place.  It solved the problem.  The music still plays even though the screen goes to sleep.  Hope this helps.

  • I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari. It's obviously a glitch in Apple

    I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account or delete messages etc. For some  reason, I CAN send mail on Apple mail using this account, although it takes several minutes. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari and internet explorer on my office PC. It's obviously a glitch in Apple's Mail. I've deleted this account and reopened it in Mail on my Mac Pro with no difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this E amil account is major to my business.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    sounds like a corrupt database or index
    the glitch is your home folder and mail folder, esp look at syncservices
    I'd post in the mail or Lion forum where you will find similar issues being discussed.

  • Is it possibloe to get a detailed break down of my calls and sms that would include phone numbers?

    I am on a family plan and was wondering is it possible to get a detailed break down of my calls and sms that would include phone numbers for my line only?

    If you are the account owner, you can log into your My Verizon ccount online and view the usage details for all the lines on the account.  If you are only an account member, you should be able to view some details for your line, but I am not sure exactly how much.
