  • Iphone 5 screen goes off...

    My iphone 5 with 64GB storage has recently upgraded to iOS 8.1. But since today morning, I notice that the screen goes off quite frequently  while I am on a call with someone. The blank screen has to be swiped multiple times to get baBut once call is over, screen seems to be in normal mode. Any clues please ?

    Did you happen to restore your iPhone 5 from a backup when you first bought it? Often, data from older phones/iOS's will sometimes not transfer across correctly, causing issues like this. The best thing to do is to put the iPhone into recovery mode and restore as new to test it then
    Instructions on recovery mode:

    Instructions on restoring as new:

    If when restored as new, and the issue still occurs, then your iPhone is faulty, so take it back to where you bought it from and get it replaced.
    If it works no problem after restoring as new, manually transfer your information back onto the iPhone

  • Nokia N8. Screen going off at random times after B...

    I had belle for few weeks on my n8 now and I noticed very annoying issue. At completely random times screen goes off. It is not going off per settings. I have to lock the screen and then unlock it or else there is no response by touching it. I could be browsing web or checking email and it will go dark, it is not because of lack of activity.
    Any help ?

    Hi aim1999,
    Have tried performing a soft reset or hard reset on the phone to see if it was a bad install?
    To do Soft reset: Enter *#7780# into your phone's keypad 
    Note: this will not delete any data from the device.
    To do a Hard reset: Enter *#7370# 
    Note: You will need to back up your data before you do this because it will erase all data from the phone.
    If this still does not fix your problem, you may have to take the device into a Nokia Care Point for further inspection.

    It seems that you have not installed the correct blackberry software for your device, or might be select the incorrect carrier for your blackberry handheld. You need to download the correct blackberry software with your service provider and before installing the software, disconnect your BB device from the computer and then install it with proper administrative privilege.
    After installing the software on your computer, make sure to hard boot your blackberry handheld before connecting it to your computer. If the same problem persists, then use JVM Loder to complete wipe your blackberry device memory then connect with the desktop manager and install the software.
    Good luck..!!!

  • Why does my keyboard repeat keys and the screen goes off center?

    Keyboard repeats letters, erases multiple letters and generally goes crazy. Also screen goes off center and too large for frame.

    First see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Home screen icons are magnified or large
    Next try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Gets hot while taking video and screen goes off so many times

    gets hot while taking video and screen goes off so many times

    Sounds like something is obstructing the proximity sensor on your phone. It is usually at the top of the display next to the ear speaker. You didn't say what you have. Usual suspects are a screen protector or dust.

  • My Blackberry Curve 8520 turns itself off, lock and get a white screen.

    Whenever I'm making a connection, it starts to give strange noises during the call and ends up shutting down completely. When I try to turn it on again, it starts loading the OS, when the progress bar loads halfway, he gets the white screen and locks up completely, making it impossible to use again. The Blackberry only back to work only when connected to the battery charger. I hope someone can help me! Thanks in advance. The text can be somewhat meaningless, because I'm from Brazil and translated using Google Translator.

    Hi denisssilva94,
    Welcome to the Support Community!
    I would suggest first testing your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 smartphone with another battery to rule out any issue with the battery itself.
    If you have the same issues when using another battery, please try to back up your data using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software and perform a clean reload of your BlackBerry® Device Software.
    For further instructions, please see the following KB articles.
    For Windows®: "How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows" http://bbry.lv/GI9beY
    For Mac: "Perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer" http://bbry.lv/J0UN1U
    Please test to make sure the issue has been resolved before restoring any data from your backup file.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPhone 4S won't let me send any text messages, I can see the recent ones but when I go to type back the screen goes off and it goes back to the home screen?

    I have had my iPhone 4S for a while and it's worked perfectly. Messages were going through fine and everything. I went on this morning as I had a text from someone. I opened the text and the screen just went back to the homepage. It has never done this before so I tried opening it again. The same happened again. I opened a recent text and I can read the old messages fine, it's just as soon as I click to message/text them back it just goes off.
    I tried with Facebook mailing and the same happens, it just goes off. And when I go on safari and try and type something in it goes off.
    I don't know what to do. I have tried turning it off and on and that didn't work. I have tried resetting network connections and I just don't know what to do. I am currently trying to software update to the iOS 7.0.4 to see if that has anything do with it. As before I clicked to text the person back a carrier question came up and it has come up before, could that have something to do with it?
    Please can you help me?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore.  Try each of these in order until the issue goes away.

  • Macbook 13.3 white, the screen goes off and only comes on when screen moved

    Hi.
    I have the macbook 13.3 in white, early 2009 model. The screen keeps going off and the only way I can get it back on is to move the screen back and forth. By the looks of things this is a common problem and it's usually related to a cable between the screen and the logic board.
    My question is, how easy is it to open the mac up and get to this cable to re-connect it properly?
    Or do Apple repair this FOC due to it being a popular problem?
    Thanks
    Mark

    My girlfriend has a white macbook that is just over the year warranty.  We were going to get the Apple care, but forgot as we got the computer at Best Buy and didn't expect to have problems.  I've always previously been a PC guy and had never had problems with my Dells. They all still run and work perfectly but are just obsolete in many ways.
    I'm very disappointed with the Macbook.  The screen freezes and fades to white and you have to move the screen to get it to work.  The computer is still running fine, it just seems like a connection to the screen that is the problem.  I brought it to the "genius bar" and they went down and opened up the computer.  When I got it back they advised it might be the cable for the screen or the screen itself.  He went on to say Apple will not just fix that problem, the only option is to have Apple do a $470 (I believe that's what I was quoted) warrantied overhaul of the entire machine.  They don't just fix the problem, they go through the whole machine for $470 and its warrantied.  He said a computer repair shop could probably fix the problem cheaper.  My problem is that this was a fairly expensive machine that is barely over a year old and its having a problem that it seems many people are having and their only solution is to spend half the money of a new one to fix something as small as a cable that is definitely their fault.  I do not think the screen needs to be replaced or the logic board as when you pinch the screen and angle it, it works amazingly.  I opened up the machine just to take a look and it seems that the cable for the video goes through the hinge and there is a pleat inside the hinge shaped to contour the outside of the machine when closed that tugs on the cable slightly.  I also saw that there was some missing screws that the "Genius Bar" may not have put back.  They told me they unplugged and inspected the video cable and the computer worked better for a while which leads me even more to believe there is something wrong with the cable and the hinge design.
    I think Apple should fix this problem.  This problem that is becoming more and more common and it is definitely a product defect.  We are paying a decent dollar for these products compared with PC laptops out there.  I'd like to see some decent service.  This is not a $470 "one fix fits all" problem for the customer, this is an easy fix for the company to make on faulty products.  It will cost them little and its the right thing to do.  I predict more and more people will be complaining about this problem in the coming year.  They should not be able to profit on this flaw after so recently profiting on the machines.

  • Nano 7 screen goes off when music plays

    I purchased the Nano 7 to days ago and trying to get it set up.
    I can't get the screen to stay on so I can see names of artists/songs.  Once music starts, screen goes dark.  Can anyone tell me how to fix it?  Thanks

    To save on battery power the Nano will dim automatically after 20 seconds of inactivity, and then the the backlight will turn off.  To light up the screen again press the Sleep/Wake button quickly, which is the On/Off button.  I've noticed on my Nano 7th gen, I can awaken the screen by pressing the Home button as well.
    Also, I've noticed on my Nano that if I want to know the names of the songs/artists while the screen is dark, I can press and hold the play button on the side, and the Nano will speak the names of the song and artist to me.

  • Screen Goes off above certain angle

    The screen of my MacBook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo goes black when I raise it above about 70º . It re-illuminates when lowered and finally goes off as normal as it nears the closed position. It is difficult to use at anything below 90º. The backlight is being switched off it appears but data is still being sent to the screen as it can be seen vaguely. Does anyone know what mechanism is used to switch the screen off and if so where it is situated and whether it is easy to fix? I do not think it is a software fault...

    I'd be surprised if the magnetic latch was responsible for switching off the backlight otherwise would it not be possible to switch the screen off by putting something magnetic close to it which would be annoying? The magnets are located at the top corners of the screen and the corners of the keyboard hand rest areas. I thought it might be a loose connection to the inverter board but wouldn't expect it to remake contact once broken.
