My phone won't open the home screen.

My phone got wet, and I let it dry. Now it has a picture of the android man coming out of a box.

It is helpful to people if you tell them your phone model. How did you let it dry? Did you take the cover off, the battery out, and put all of it in a bag of rice for a day?

Everytime I open any app, my phone flashes back to the home screen! I have erase most everything off and still have this issue. I

Everytime I open anything on my Iphone, it exits whatever I have opened up and returns to the home screen. I have deleted most all of my apps thinking this would solve it. It hasnt solve anything and continues to do the same thing. I have also have hit the top button and home key at the same time to reset things. nothing has worked. Is there a app I can download to take care of this problem, or can I take it to my local carrier and they can fix whatever may be going on???

Try restoring your iphone.
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.

Phone won't leave the clock screen

Hey guys, I have a lumia 1020 and all of a sudden it wont leave the front screen that has the clock on it. Pressing the power button doesn't bring up the lock screen and doing a soft reset didn't do anything either. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Brendan

@ jackdallas- Did you try the reset suggested by ceroberts75 above ?
Press Power + Volume(down) keys until the phone vibrates (about 8-10 seconds). Phone will reboot.
Now check if the issue is resolved...

My BlackBerry Curve 8530 Phone does not show the home screen?

On my BlackBerry Curve 8530 Phone, I deleted an app that I did not want anymore, but when I tried to reboot the phone a few times, the screen comes up as ''App Error 200'' when it is down rebooting. What do I do? And if I have to get a new battery for my phone, where do I get one, and how much does it cost?

If the screen wont show at all, it looks like your screen has went out on the phone. Take the phone to your local service provider like sprint or at&T. These shops usually have repair guys who can try and fix it. If they cant fix it, they will have to replace the phone.
Once screens and keyboards go out on these phones (i have had a keyboard go out) they are worthless and they need to be replaced.
Unfortunately a wipe would do nothing if you cant even see the screen.

Every time I touch my keyboard my phone goes back to the home screen

It's only when I have to type! This happens with all my apps including the ones like settings mail message ect! Plz help!

One problem though, the top button on my phone is jammed so i cant power off the phone, anyway of resetting the phone without using the top button ?

HT3053 I have a 13inch MacBook Pro and when I switch it on the apple logo appears then a slot and the circular symbol which is turning and then before opening the home screen it switches off again. Is there a sequence that I can use to force it to load.

I have got a 13 inch MacBook Pro and it got stuck in a loop so I switched it off by holding the power button down and now when I switch it on the apple logo appears then I get a blank slot at the bottom of the screen then the circle appears and rotates and then it switches off again, I have tried starting it again with the system disc that came with it when it was new but it makes no difference. Is there a sequence that I can use to force it to start.

Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

Security Flaw - Push apps opens the home screen on sleep?

I'm sure this is a security flaw. I have my iPhone on the sleep mode. I pressed the sleep button and placed it in my pants. So no way I'm pressing the button and sliding the finger to unlock.
After playing Words with Friends as one of the apps in question, I press the lock button. Seconds later my iPhone goes directly to home with an alert. No lock screen at all. I get the alert that says my friend made a move on the scrabble board.
Anyone know of any other apps that have this security flaw?

One more thing before you take it back to the store - try a restore. You will do this from within iTunes. Since you really don't have app data to concern yourself with, do a "restore as new". This will wipe it clean and reinstall the firmware. You can then sync to add everything back to it.

Help! My phone is not taking the whole screen! (edge around the screen)

I ve only been using my phone for less than a week. Today my phone was frozen so I hold down the home and the power button to do a reset. However, the apple logo appears and it took forever to get in the home menu so I hold down the buttons to reset the phone once again. The phone did get in the home screen after the second reboot but after that the size of the screen got smaller (Not taking the full screen) I turned off my phone and while I was under the sun i noticed that there is an edge around the screen! It is so noticable even I turned off the phone. So I used a full restore on my phone and now the edge is still there! Can anyone please tell me if they have the same problem before and know how to fix it(Like resizing the screen)? Thanks!!

Is it a thick border? or just a couple rows? Mine has that, and a lot of electronics have the same thing... they cut the size they need and only use the pixels they want/need to use.
For example I had a Zune and a new Nano that had the same thing... My Blackberry, and work cell phone... same thing.
If its a thick border, then yes call apple and get it replaced/repaired.

When I am on a phone call and I double click the button to go to my home screen, then open another application (usually my calendar program, Calengoo), my screen goes blank and I am not able to return to either the app, the phone, or the home screen.

When I am on a phone call and I double click the button to go to my home screen, then open another application (usually my calendar program, Calengoo), my screen goes blank and I am not able to return to either the app, the phone, or the home screen. If I am speaking to a person, if they hang up then I am back to the phone application. If I'm leaving a message, I am unable to return to the phone screen to end the call, and have to wait until the other phone hangs up. I'm also unable to switch back and forth to look at my calendar if I'm calling someone about scheduling. This has only started happening since the most recent iOs update. I run into situations similar to this about once per day during the work week, as I use my phone is this manner quite often. While not life altering it is quite frustrating. Can anyone here help me figure out a way to avoid this? If it helps, I have noticed a general downgrade in overall performance starting two system updates ago (apps opening more slowly, closing unexpectedly more often, etc.). I have an iPhone 3GS with the latest OS update.
Thank you for any help or suggestions,
Chris

I could be corrupted backup.
You can check the notification settings for message.
Settings>Notification Center>Messages>Alert Style
It should be on Banners or Alerts.
Settings>Messages> Turn on Imessage and send as SMS and below that "Blocked" to check if you have any numbers block might be blocking the message.
You can also do a hard reset by holding power and home till it restarts and release after seeing the apple logo.
Still doesn't work? Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings

I have an iPod 5 perfect condition iOS 7 except for one thing when I download an app just bought or free it won't show on the home screen now I go to AppStore or search and I can't open it on the AppStore and it dosent show up on search and syncs is

I have a wonderful iPod 5 but when I download an app it won't show up but it has more than 3 gigs left no matter weather it's free bought redownloaded it won't show up no matter AppStore it won't open the app search dosent show the app. Syncing dosent do anything if you have the same problem or know how to fix this without jailbreak plz tell me!!!!

- What exactly happens when you try to redownload directly to the iPod:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You said it won't open the app . What exactly happens?
Is the app listed is your Purchase history?
Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent installing those apps? Settings>General>Restrictions

Netflix just 'hangs' and won't even open the home page, although if i log in as a guest then I can access it.

Netflix won't even open the home page to let me register and just hangs for ages. I have the same trouble on both safari and firefox but have updated both anyway. I'm guessing this is an 'identity' issue because if I log in as a guest on my own laptop I can open the netflix site, although there are all sorts of parental controls on there that I can't seem to override!
I have un-installed silverlight, tried again but no luck.
I re-installed silverlight. Still no luck
It's not a disaster as I'm still able to watch on my ipad, however it's annoying me and I like a mystery to solve!
any ideas?

A password reset would certainly be a good idea. However, it could be an iCloud issue. If you Mac matches your user password to your Apple password, it could be that when you initially start up, you don't have an internet connection...
Logging in as guest gets you connected, thus being able to authenticate. So when you change it, either make sure it's stored locally, or run some diagnostics on wifi connection upon startup. Out of interest, are you connected at the login screen (top right next to the time will tell you)?

It opens into my recent calls list rather than the home screen

Every time I receive a call when my phone is 'asleep' the phone goes back to sleep state when the call is hung up. As it should.
Weirdness is though…when I next wake the phone it always opens straight into my recent calls list, rather than the home screen.
It only happens on incoming calls, and only when the call is received while the phone's asleep.
I've done a restore (for something else) but it didn't remedy this.
Anyone else seeing the same?

Sure about what? That there is nothing wrong with your phone or that the OS works that way...the answer is yes to both questions. Works the same if you go into settings but let the phone go to sleep, next time you unlock your phone, you'll be in settings. If you don't want your phone to do that, hit the home button after a call.

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

HT4623 I downloaded the ios 6 on my iphone. I'm having problems with applications. When I open any application, in seconds then closes and returns to the home screen. What could be happening?

Did you change any AppleID accounts or anything? I've seen this happen when changing accounts or certain restore situations.
If you are using iCloud you should be able to reset your phone to Factory Defaults and restore from iCloud, but it always makes me nervous.

I start to open an app and it opens and starts to load then flashes back to the home screen this is doing it on all games but not the mail.

Hello jerrysgirl777
For issues with apps closing on you at start up, try closing the app from multitasking, restarting your device, checking for updates or just deleting the app and downloading it again. Check out the article blow for more information.
