N8 Display turns totally black when incoming call ...

My N8's display always turns totally black when there is an incoming call, or even when the
alarm rings. Before can see the caller's name and answer the call, I have to disable the screen's "keylock".
I tried to find a point in the phone settings wher I can avoid this, but didn't find any. Is anybody out there to give me a hint ?
Thanx in advance

When I am inside, the screen acts normally: it goes black when held close to face. It returns to normal as soon as taken from my face. However, the screen also goes black if I am outside in daytime when I have an incoming call, and when I make calls also, as soon as I press the green call button. It "thinks" it is near my face. If I slide the button on the right side of the phone down twice, the screen lights back up normally but the touch screen will not function. At that point I cannot answer the phone, or if I'm already making a call I cannot hang up nor press the speaker phone button.
There is nothing over the face of the phone. I removed the protective plastic cover but that did not help.
This seems to occur only when I am outside in the sunlight, so it has something to do with a sensor, either light or heat.
I am aware that this problem has occurred on other N8s. I have not found any solutions for it. Perhaps it is not a problem on every N8. I updated the software last week to 111.040.1511 Symbian Belle. That software date is from 2012-07-28.

As far as trying to power up your device, make sure it has a good charge and then hold the button on the top of the phone and the home button on the faceplate together until the apple appears on the screen.

IPhone4 iOS 7.1 doesn't go black when taking calls

Hi,
Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1 I'm facing problems that it doesn't go black or sleep mode when taking calls making me hitting buttons during a call. Could this be an issue of iOS upgrade or something wrong with proximity sensor?
If it's the proximity sensor, is there a way I could try and see if it's working (something like covering the front? which I tried and didn't work either).

Screen won't lock or go black when answering calls
Verify mute or speaker have not been activated, just prior to placing your ear over the receiver.
While on a call hold your hand over the top third of the display, and verify that the screen is locked or goes to sleep.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Have you checked your sound prefs after you updated the OS? It's possible they got changed during the update.

How do I get my iphone 4 to display the name of an incoming caller? It just stopped working all of a sudden.

I suggest contacting your carrier, typically if there is an issue with caller id its an issue with the carrier.

TIF thumbnails initially populate, but turn 80% black when I "Open With PS"

I'm scanning photographs with a relatively-new Epson 10000XL scanner. I save the scans as ~300MB TIFs, copy the entire folder, then crop the copies with Photoshop CS5 12.0.3 on a Win XP 2.2GHz Pentium Dual Core CPU with 3.25GB RAM. The crop goes fine and the the save seems to go fine. Filesize of all cropped files is consistent. A few days later, I notice the image is 80-90% black, with only the top strip OK. This happens to about 15% of the images I've scanned. The original scans are always OK, so I think I can rule out the scanner. The cropped image thumbnails look good in Bridge, but when I right click and "Open with PS", the thumbnail turns 80% black and an 80% black TIF shows up in Photoshop...baffling. Sometimes half the image is black, but usually it is mostly black. Always, it is the bottom area of the image that is black. I can rescan and recrop the image, but a 15% rescan rate at 6-7 min/scan is killing me. What the devil is causing this? Is this a hardware issue, and if so, is it a RAM deficiency? Defective RAM? Defective hard drive? Conflicting software? Whimpy graphics card? Something else?

Replies to Curt and Omke:
In original post you said you were running Win XP, so it that home computer and work is Win7?
Work PC = Win XP, Photoshop CS5, Dual-core processor and 4 GB RAM. Home PC = Win7, Photoshop 5.0, Quad-core processor and 4GB RAM. Both are 32-bit OS. I cropped and saved 20 of these TIFs on the home Win7 machine, and had no problems with black images at any time. I tested those same TIFs on a work machine that is identical to my Win XP work machine, and had lots of problems with them turning black. This suggests that the OS, video card and/or CPU are causing trouble on the work machine, not necessarily the RAM. It doens't seem to be a problem unique to my PC, but rather to all the PCs that are just like my PC (our organization buys in bulk, and we all have identical PC setups).
Most likely it is the RAM. With a 64 bit machine you are really handicapping yourself with 4 gigs. You also need a good deal of space on the scratch disk, so make sure you have ample free space.
I have 62GB out of 150GB free on C drive, but it’s fragmented. Will try defragmenting to see if that helps. I think, with my 32-bit Win XP, I am limited to 4GB, right? Does a 64-bit system have that much improvement over 32-bit?
Graphics card is the other likely suspect.
On the work PC that is causing me trouble, graphics card= ATI Radeon HD 3450.
In Bridge go to advanced preferneces and check "use software rendering". That will help if graphics card is underpowered.
That will help with what, exactly? Will that help avoid corrupted files? It seems like the problem lies in Photoshop, not necessarily with Bridge.
In photoshop go the edit/kpreferences/file handling and make sure Open GL is not checked.
It was checked. I unchecked it, but still had images turning black on me when I cropped and saved them.
Your files are still OK, they only show not good in Bridge? or are they all damaged?
~15% of cropped scan tifs open mostly black in PS and Windows Explorer, and open mostly black in Bridge full-screen preview also. The other 85% look OK in all programs. The 15% initially look OK as thumbnails in Bridge, but after ~30 min, or if I try to open them in PS or full-screen preview, they turn mostly black. It would appear to me that those 15% of cropped scan files are corrupt, and perhaps only look OK in Bridge initially because Bridge is accessing some embedded low-resolution preview, then later updating the preview using the actual image file, but I’m not sure on that last point.
You state to have PS 12.0.3 in, while I'm on a Mac I have 12.0.4 installed s the latest so first try a software update.
That’s a pretty involved process with our IT dept. I don’t have Admin privileges to do that, but I’ll raise the issue.
Also check your PS performance settings. If you have only 4 GB RAM installed and you did point PS to more then the default and having some other applications open you will become soon short of RAM. (Bridge pointed to that already)
This is a point of confusion for me. PC specs list 3.25GB RAM, but in PS prefs, “Available RAM: 1691MB, of which 71% (1201 MB) is allowed for PS use. I would think PS would at least recognize all the PC RAM as available, but this is also the general trend on my home PC where PS doesn't recognize all the RAm that Windows does...must be a distinction between total RAM and available RAM.
In Bridge Prefs the default setting for maximum file size to build HQ preview is 1GB. Could you check if this is also your case?
Yes, that is the case.
And I also agree with Curt that if you have multiple files open with that size your machine specs should be above average, and you should have at least 10 % free space on your HD.
I’m running at about 50% free HD space, though fragemented. I would like to make some sort of recommendation to IT about a system upgrade, and it seems like a better processor is a key factor, followed by the OS and graphics card. Without going to a 64-bit system, I believe I'm maxed out on RAM, but correct me if I'm wrong. Our organization prefers everyone to be on the same OS, which is why we're all still on WinXP.

Iphone hangs when incoming call

each time my phone has an incoming call, the phone hangs. I cannot slide to answer the phone. What happens?

Hello Recently, I started experiencing problems with my iPhone 4. Sometimes, but more and more often, I can not move the slide to pick up the phone. and this is not a problem the screen, as in any other application, the screen is perfectly responsive to clicks.
and it became yet worse now - slide is moved but raising of tube does not take place. such problem I sometimes notice for the users of not dear android telephones, but I did not buy a telephone after 600$ in order that to test the same problems. when this situation happens - I look as a blockhead nervously trying to heave up a tube. more frequent than all it does not turn out and I have to ring up a subscriber.

Mac Pro and Lucite 23" cinema display turns all white when starting up the

I have a friend that has a 2.6 MacPro and a ADC 23" cinema display with adapter. When ever he starts the computer the screen turns all white and locks ups ? Any ideas what's causing it ?

Try Resetting the PRAM (Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R on start-up), some of the basic monitor parameters are stored there, maybe it'll be enough, and its an easy and harmless procedure.

2 iPhones with separate numbers ring when incoming call

My wife and I have separate iPhones (5 and 5S) running iOS 8.2. An incoming call rings on both phones. Did not happen before I downloaded 8.2.

You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and change "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off on each device. It is a feature of Continuity: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6337
It is for devices using the same Apple ID. You may want to consider/investigate using separate Apple IDs. That is now more practical with new Family Sharing features: https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/

CUCIMOC - Display Outlook contact information by incoming calls

Hi, is it possible to display some outlook contact information in CUCIMOC by incoming calls? Szenario: The customer's contact information are already added to the outlook contacts. By receiving a call from an external customer only the phone number is displayed, it would be helpful also to display p.e. the customer's name, photo, etc. Is it possible to check the incoming calls with the outlook contacts? Thanks for help.
Alex

Thanks for quick response.
What about configuring the information are displayed by incoming calls. The username and photo-uri are shown - is it possible to display some more / specific information from AD, p.e. units?
Thanks. Alex

Able to schedule when incoming calls use ringer or vibrate only?

I'm planning on getting a Pearl 8120 as soon as my discount kicks in at T-Mobile, and there's a feature I'm really hoping it has or that there's an app that'll do it for me. I'd like to be able to schedule when incoming phone calls notify me with vibrate only and when they use an audible ring tone. Something like: 8am-10am vibrate only, 10am-2pm ringer on, 2pm-5pm vibrate only, 5pm-8am ringer on, etc., A weekend vs weekday mode would be great also. Is this possible? I didn't see anything about in the pdf manual, but I'm still hoping.
Thanks.
Pearl 8120

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks anyway, teddana.
For future searchers, I did find two that would do it, but there's a catch to them. Due (according to them) Blackberry's built-in security, neither can make the changes while the keyboard is locked. If the keyboard is locked at a time when you've scheduled a change from vibrate to audible ringer (or vice versa), they'll notify you by vibrating the phone that it is time to make the change, but the user has to unlock the phone momentarily to allow the change to be made.
They are Toysoft's Profiler and the other one is called Profile Scheduler.

Photos in contacts display differently when incoming call

G'day people
Most of my contacts in the Address Book have photos and, of course, they imported together with other contact details when I plugged my iPhone into my iMac. However, what's strange is that some photos display full screen when that contact calls me and other photos just display a small picture next to the contact's name. Anybody have any idea why?
I notice that if I take a photo on the iPhone and assign it to a contact, that photo will always display full screen.
Cheers
Al

Yes, that's what I thought as well. However, there are pictures that I assigned to contact on the computer that display full screen when that contact calls as well as full screen for those contacts where I took the and assigned the photos on the iPhone itself.
