N8 screen lock/off when ringing

Nokia N8 screen is locked & off when phone is ringing. I have to unlock the screen with switch on the side in order to see who is calling.
thanks

I had the exact same problem.  My phone came back from the repair center and had this issue.  There are other threads on the same topic but no one seems to have a solution.
Was your phone returned to you from the service center?

  • No sound when screen locked/off

    When listening to an audio book app on my iPhone 4 the sound goes off when the screen auto locks (goes black). Is this an issue with the app or is there a setting that allows sound to continue after screen locks?

    Contact the app developer. I have used a few apps with that problem that were fixed in later versions so they would play when the phone was locked.

  • I have an iPad 2 and all of a sudden I have no sound in game apps. I have usual volume in videos and YouTube, I do get volume for games if I plug in headphones. I have switched to screen lock off and on again and I have also done a reset twice.....help :)

    I have an ipad2 and all of a sudden I have stopped getting sound in my game apps. I get normal sound on YouTube and I player and downloaded DVDs. If I plug headphones in then I can get sounds for the games. I have switched the lock screen button off and on again and done a reset twice, can anyone help me with this?

    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • Yoga 2 13 Tablet Screen turns off when in Tablet Mode

    I just bought my Yoga 2 13, when I flip it to Tablet mode, the screen turns off. Apparently it goes to sleep. When I open it it turns on again. Do I need to do any adjustments? or is this a defect?

    Try updating your drivers first: http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/lap​tops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-2-13-notebook-l​...
    If that does not help, try a factory reset:
    1. Turn off your Yoga 2 13
    2. Press the tiny button next to the power button on the right
    3. Follow instructions to perform a factory reset
    If none of the above attempts have helped you, it is probably a hardware issue.

  • Screen switches off when I dial and hit call button

    When I select a contact from my list n hit call button or dial a number and hit call button the screen switches off even though the call is going on still. For example if I want to give a missed call it is not possible as the screen is going blank. Is there any setting for it?

    Hi Myxperiaz3, welcome t the community!
    I agree with @Quester. If you don't have a case or screen protector on the handset you could try clearing the cache or data for the Phone app by going into Settings > Apps > All > scroll down to Phone > tap Clear cache/data. (Try clearing cache first and if it doesn't work go back and tap clear data and test again). If this doesn't help then follow @Uliwoolys suggestion, here are additional steps on running the repair:
    back up using PC Companion
    1. Go to Support to install PC Companion on a Windows computer.
    2. When installed, start PC Companion on the computer.
    3. Connect your phone to the computer using a USB cable.
    4. Click Start under Backup & Restore.
    5. Follow the on-screen instructions.
    (Exactly what contents will be backed up may differ depending on phone model.
    You can view detailed information about this as you follow the steps in the Backup & Restore wizard).
    back up using Bridge for Mac
    1. Launch Bridge For MAC.
    2. Select "Back up your Xperia device".
    3. Select the data you wish to back up from your device (the windows can be expanded for more detail as below; then select "Next".
    4. The backup will now be in process, do not disconnect the phone while this runs.
    Running the software repair on PC Companion:
    1. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
    2. Phone Software Update.
    3. Start.
    4. Repair Phone
    5. Continue
    6. Accept data removal
    7. Next
    8. Wait for prepare
    9. Select Phone
    10. Follow the connection steps
    Running the software repair on Bridge for Mac:
    1. Launch Bridge for MAC without the handset connected.
    2. On the Main Window select "Xperia > Repair Xperia Device".
    3. Ensure the phone is charged and select "Ok" in the following window.
    4. Select Continue on the following page.
    5. Wait until the initialising step is finished the continue as below.
    6 . Select your model of phone from the list that appears
    7. Follow the connection steps that appear, ensuring that you are holding the relevant button down before during and after the connection phase until the update/repair begins.
    If this still doesn't resolve the issue then I would reccommend contacting your local Sony Xperia Customer Care team asap.

  • IPhone 3G Screen turns off when lowering from ear during call

    I have my 3rd iPhone; bought it yesterday (last one stolen in Denver Airport). The screen works normally when using the functions other than the phone. When making a call everything is normal but when I put the phone to my ear, I have noticed that the screen does not turn off, however, when lowering the phone to look at the screen during the call, it goes completely blank despite the call still being connected. I tried pushing all the buttons to no avail. I did a reset and also a software restore without success. I discovered that when I lowered the phone during a call and the screen goes blank, I put my warm thumb over the little horizontal sensor above the screen and it would come back on. If I released my thumb it would turn off (the exact opposite of what should happen). I called apple, they said to return the phone because there probably is a hardware issue. I bought it at an ATT store in Santa Barbara, CA; I am told there is a restocking fee to replace the phone!! Amazing, buy a new product, its defective, return it for a new one, and they extract $20 additional dollars from you. Anyone else with a similar problem.

    If it is not in a case and it is defective the only way that the AT&T store will swap out the phone for a new one without the restocking fee is if it's under 14 days. After the 14 days you have to bring it to an Apple store for repair or a replacement. I recommend purchasing the iCare warranty through apple, because it will extend the warranty to 2 years on the phone, and when your phone breaks the apple store will replace it on the spot if they can't repair it in the store instead of sending it out for repair and you waiting for it.

  • KDE - Keep Screen Turned Off When The Lid Is Closed

    Hello all,
    I configured KDE to turn off the screen when I close my lid and this part works OK.
    Problem is, once I move the mouse while the lid is closed the screen wakes up (it's not hard to tell, light gets out from the sides).
    If I configure the lid action to be sleep, the computer sleeps and wakes up with lid close/open with the mouse not getting in the way.
    Any idea on how I can configure it to block mouse input while the lid is closed so the screen stays off?
    Thanks, Adam.

    Doug.
    You're a genius!!! It worked. It wasn't the keyboard that was not reset properly, it is the escape (hey, it kind of looks like Escape - with a Ellen degeneres slang ) key. It is on the fritz and does not want to sit properly. I removed it temporarily, and, voila, it works again.
    Thanks again for the headache solved. Now on to my 3 and 5 year old girls - a totally different problem. Maybe it is their CPU???

  • Screen turns off when making a call, wont go back on until I end call.

    How do I get the screen to turn back on when I am making a call? I dont know how this happened. I didnt drop my phone or anything and now when making a call the screen turns off. I tapped the screeen and tilted the phone and it still didnt turn on. I am unable to put call on speakerphone or select any other options. HELP!

    The screen turns off during a call.  The light sensor senses that your face is near and turns it off to conserve battery life.  If you have to access the screen for a function i.e. to enter an extension number, the sensor once again senses the difference in light and turns the screen back on.
    That much you probably already knew; that was mostly for the benefit of others reading this thread.  If your screen is not turning back on, it's a software issue.  The quickest and most effective cure for software issues is the good ol' battery pull.  With your phone powered on, remove the battery then replace it a few seconds later.
    That should help.  Please post back with your results.

  • My MacBook Pro screen turns off when I open the lid!

    This has been driving me nuts, and also apparently Apple as well.
    When my MacBook Pro is connected to a power adapter, if I close the lid it sleeps like a good little Mac. When I open the lid, the display comes on instantly. Then after about a second, it goes black. The LED backlight turns off. I can get it to come on using either of two ways: 1) touch either of the brightness buttons, or 2) remove and replace the power connector.
    Now, here is the weird part: it only seems to do it when I am logged in as me. If I login as guest, it doesn't happen. That would seem to imply it is something about my profile that causes it to happen. So I whacked ~/Library/Preferences and it still happened. So where is this particular bit of nastiness hiding?

    OK, so I think I solved my issue.  It was caused by the system not going to sleep (The screensaver thing was a dead end).
    When I ran the console app pmset, I got something like this:
    ➜  ~  pmset -g assertions
    12-06-29 9:11:06 AM EDT 
    Assertion status system-wide:
       PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep             0
       CPUBoundAssertion                       0
       DisableInflow                           0
       ChargeInhibit                           0
       PreventSystemSleep                      1
       PreventUserIdleSystemSleep              0
       ExternalMedia                           0
       DisableLowPowerBatteryWarnings          0
       EnableIdleSleep                         1
       NoRealPowerSources_debug                0
       UserIsActive                            0
       ApplePushServiceTask                    0
    The process that was causing PreventSystemSleep to be 1 was "org.cups.cupsd" which is the print service.  So I checked all my printers, one of them was "In Use".  When I opened it, there weren't any jobs listed.  I went through the options and selected Jobs > Show Everyone's Jobs and sure enough there was a job there.  I deleted it and everything seems to work now.
    The odd thing is that print job was probably from my other account which didn't seem to have this screen problem.  Anyway, I hope this helps anyone out there....

  • Macbook Pro: both external screens go off when unplugging power cord

    Hello!
    I have my Macbook Pro set up with two external screens one connected thru HDMI and the other with Thunderbolt, I keep the lid always closed. I always have the power cord plugged in but when I for whatever reason unplug the cord both screens go dark and don't seem to "wake up" anymore. When I plug back in the cord I have to open the lid first to make the login window appear but after login my screens are switched. When I close the lid again it goes back to my original set up. The same when I turn on the Macbook and don't close the lid after it right away, the screens are switched until I close it.
    Any idea on this?

    As this article points out, there are very stringent requirements for using a MacBook in "closed clamshell" mode. #1 is to have the power adapter plugged in:

  • 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 locks up when I try to download trial software from internet

    Hi,
    Everytime I try to download trial software from a manufacturer's site (several different ones, including through the Apple main site.), I get as far as the download start page, click on download now, and the screen goes grey, the cog wheel keeps spinning and I get nowhere. I have tried using different wifi access points and have also tried using firefox... Each time I get the same result. The only difference is that I get a message on a white page when using firefox, which says..: this is a message from my plugin , http/: html>?    Does anyone have ay suggestions.....? Chris.

    Since this is happening on both Firefox and Safari, my guess it's the router. Check the routers' manufacture website for support.

  • Screen turning off when streaming

    Hi
    I have an E63 and use SkyFire to stream TV from tvcatchup.com but every minute or so the screen fades away and I have to press the centre nav button to keep the screen going. Not a major problem in most circumstances but when I'm on the treadmill its a real pain in the **bleep**.
    Is there any way to stop this?

    Hi chn68b
    As you said " it is not a major problem" so the solution: use one of the following
    1) there is alot of programs that keeps the screen lights on as long as you want " adjusted in program settings" , they are in the name of " torch " or " on screen" , try to google it and find the suitable program for your phone model.
    2) go to  Settings --> General --> Personalisation --> Display --> Power saver time-out    and change it to 90 sec
                 Settings --> General --> Personalisation --> Display --> Light time-out      and change it to 60 sec
    N.B: those steps mentioned in 2nd solution are according to my E51. you may find some differences but the general idea is the same.
           an advice: streaming and keeping lights on will empty your battery faster and lower the battery life-span , so don't expend much time using streaming to keep the battery the longest time functioning and healty
    I hope that helps , and let me know
