N82 - Orientation sensor stuck in camera mode

hi,
i just recently bought a n82 (2 days ago), while testing the hardware for a few hours i took some pictures ofcourse and after a picture while the phone was sideways there was an error message which said 'unexpected error' for a very short time and after that the screen rotation was stuck and wouldnt change when i turn the N82 to an upward position.
The screen rotation works fine in all other menus and programms so i guess it is rather a software than a hardware problem, anyone else had this problem with a nokia s60 camera phone? I tried to turn off the N82 and removed the battery, is there anything else i can do before i return it to a care point?
ps: all that happened during the first period of battery life and i had no chance to install any 3rd party software or personalise the phone, it was still mostly in factory default.
edit2: to be sure i just did reset the device to factory settings.

It won't work if you dial *#3730# because that is the wrong number!
The correct number is *#7370#.
If that doesn't work and the four finger reset doesn't work then your only option is to visia a nokia care point for help.

Camera Video and Photo Playback Stuck in Portrait Mode

When viewing video or photos recorded with my new 4G iPod Touch (within the Camera App) the orientation of the playback is stuck in portrait mode. No matter how I rotate the Touch the orientation of the video or photo playback stays in portrait mode. Wondering how to get the content to rotate to landscape mode for viewing? When using other apps on my Touch, rotating the Touch works fine (ie. the app switches to landscape mode). Have already tried locking and unlocking the Orientation Lock but this has no effect on the Camera App playback. Any assistance would be appreciated.

My wife's 4th gen did this last night. I had to reboot it to get it to act normal again. I saw that happen once before on either my 3rd gen touch or my iPhone 4, but I forget which it was. In that case it needed a reboot as well.

Portrait Mode Lock / Orientation Sensor

If anyone from Apple is reading this, I have a suggestion for improving the iPhone user interface.
My wife and I are relatively new to our iPhones. I frequently use the orientation sensor for photos, safari, email and other apps so that I can switch the display from landscape to portrait mode by tilting the phone to the appropriate orientation. My wife saw me doing this and noted that her iPhone, identical to mine (4s) doesn't do that, and indeed, on examining it, it didn't. I carefully went through the Settings dialog and the Settings|General dialog and any promising looking page below these and found nothing. I assumed that the orientation sensor was broken, and we called up Verizon, from whom we bought our phones.
The (very helpful!) tech person at our local Verizon store had to look this one up, and it took him some time, but he finally located a software switch, accessible by double-tapping the home button - a "Portrait Mode Lock".
This is an OK location for such a control, along with a general volume control, but this switch should also be available from the Settings menu, along with brightness and other hardware-specific switches. This is, after all a "hardware setting" and the Settings page is the logical place to look for it. I would strongly suggest that whether or not this switch is left on the Phone Favorites line, it should be available from somewhere in the Settings page heirarchy.

No one from Apple is reading this forum, its just a user forum like you and I.

HT1414 My new ipad mini does not allow me to switch between modes in the built-camera app. It is stuck on video mode. Can anyone advise?

My new ipad mini will not let me switch between modes when using the built in camera app. It is stuck on Video mode. I am unable to take photos, although I could when I first used it. Could this be a fault with the pad or with the new 7.0.4 update? Can anyone help please?

Have you tried to force quit the app? Double tap the home button. Scroll sideways if needed to see the icon and preview for the camera app. Flip that app up and off the screen to close it then single tap on the home screen preview or single tap the home button to exit the mode.
Try your camera app again and see if you can switch modes.
When you switch modes, you do have to drag the words, not just tap on the video word, if that makes any sense. When you try to go from video to photo, do you try to drag the photo word to the front?

Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474.

My Back camera stuck on shutter mode

I just my iPhone 4 and after taking a couple of pictures my camera got stuck on shutter mode, I tried hard reset turn off, restore I have a 4.3.3 iOS please help me, I'm quite sure by now that this is an hardware problem.

The picture of the camera at the bottom center is grey, I switched to video to see if maybe the video may work, but nothing. Its stuck as if I took a pictured and it the grey swirl never reopened. I see the grey swril closed. I love my ipad2 what is happening to it? This *****!

N82 "dead pixel" during camera mode only. Please h...

Hi,
when i activate my camera, a "dead pixel" is visible on the top area.
I have done the following checks,
1) Its not a LCD dead pixel because it happens only during cam mode.
2) Its not dust because the pictures taken do not have this.
Hence can someone please advise what is wrong? It bugs me.

I have it too, and it is a dead pixel on the camera CCD chip. You can identify it by following: It's only visible in photo mode, not video. When you zoom in photo mode, it moves on the screen, i.e. stays at the same place in the picture. The reason why it is visible on the screen is probably the interpolation, which makes it appear bigger than it truly is. Also, it's invisible on the resulting photos, as it gets lost in the noise. I have experimented a bit and have managed to only get one photo under very specific circumstances where I could see it on the photo when zooming closely in.

MacBook Pro stuck in sleep mode: can't restart or shut down, black screen

I'm running the latest version of Snow Leopard on my mid-2009 MacBook Pro Unibody. After installing the latest Software Update, including a Firmware update for my SuperDrive, the following problem has occurred, for the very first time:
I closed the lid of my laptop for the night, as I do routinely every night, thus putting my MBP to sleep. I leave the various apps open, usually Firefox, iTunes and Entourage. The next morning my MBP felt hot and the screen remained black... it would not change. After repeatedly trying and failing to clear the black screen and bring my apps up, I held the power button down to do a complete Shut Down. My system turned off, but did not do an actual Shut Down. When I press the power button to turn it on, it comes right back into sleep mode with the screen remaining black. I cannot seem to force either a Shut Down or a Restart. I unplugged all peripherals and the power cord, let my MBP cool down completely--for a couple of hours-- and tried everything again. Still no change: I'm stuck in sleep mode with a black screen. I've also tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, but neither works, probably because I'm not coming from a Shut Down. Is anybody else having this problem? Anyone have any suggestions? I think the problem must be somehow related to the latest update, but whatever it is, I'd like to resolve it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't get into my system to see my update version, but I'm certain I'm running the most up-to-date version of Snow Leopard and all other latest updates applicable to my mid-2009 MBP, as I run Software Update routinely. I thoroughly completed all update installations, including the SuperDrive Firmware update, followed all instructions meticulously, including rebooting, and actually used my system for at least one full day without any problems. I'd even recently repaired all permissions. Everything was "humming" along very well. This problem came totally out of the blue. Because the screen is black, I can't actually see what's on it; however, I've put my MBP to sleep every night by closing the lid and it awakens in the morning when I raise the lid. This time the sleep light indicator is on, but nothing happens when I lift the lid, touch the track pad or a key. If I hold the power button down briefly, the sleep light goes out, but when I press the power button again, the light comes right back on. If I depress the power button for several seconds, to initiate a shutdown or restart, it simply shuts off the fan and refuses to completely shut down. This is evidenced by the fact that depressing the power button to start up brings the sleep light on very quickly. I can tell by the way the system sounds that it is on behind the blackened screen. Sorry I can't get you the update versions.
Thanks

Ipod touch 2G stuck in recovery mode

I was given an Ipod touch 2g (not sure if it is an MC model or not) with 16 gig. The device won't show a picture on the screen, but when I connect it to the pc, it is recgonized and the apple mobile device driver is installed. Itunes shows ipod in recovery mode and click to restore. I attempted to restore, downloaded the update from apple, and when it tries to restore or update the software, the screen turns white and then I get an error 21. I attempted this on several different computers with no luck. I have tried reinstalling itunes, holding down the power/home keys as described, turning off all of the security/firewalls, and still no success. I was desparate and tried using redsnow to load the software with and without cydia and I actually had a glimpse of hope in that the screen came to life showing an image with loading jailbreak data, then it started the I think it's called verbose booting showing the programming lines, and I noticed it was reporting errors such as watchdog timeout and nand format mismatch. I ran a diagnostic test through itunes and itunes reported that there was no ipod detected when it was plugged up wanting to restore it, totally contradicting itself. Can anyone help me bring this thing back to life? I know it must have some signs of life, for there is music that showed up in the library that was not on my pc before plugging up my itunes. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Go download RecBoot, kick it in recovery mode and install the firmware manually. You can download it here.

When you get done upgrading and for some reason you get and error or are stuck in recovery mode, use RB to get out of it. It might still work fine at that point.

HT201210 my ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode

I just tried to restore my ipod to its factory settings, the process was not completed. Says an error (1) has occured, now my ipod is stuck in recovery mode. What do I do?

Hi drhenrie,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are having troubles restoring your iPod and the steps in the article you came from didn't help. I would continue with this step from the following article:
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

IPhone 6 getting stuck in landscape mode

My iPhone 6 keeps getting stuck in landscape mode. Also the camera will not always open from the locked screen, it just bounces up and down but does not slide all the way up to launch the camera app. Is apple working on a fix?

Hi Sunnifromlondon,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone screen is not rotating as expected, there could be several potential causes. First, we can attempt some troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue.
I recommend going through all of the steps in this support site article:

Windows Stuck in Safe Mode - mouse won't work - need my data...

New Mac User, well two months of trying to get it to opperate correctly. Unbelievable! I've re-installed XP SP2 too many times to count, finally had it up and thought it was running fine for the last week, then I went over to the Mac OS tried accessing windows through boot camp, it shut down the Mac OS, then when I tried to go back to boot windows directly, I received the damning <windows root> \system32\hal.dll file is missing or corrupt - again.
I've gone through a bunch of posts, tried a number of the instructions, and now have a worse issue, my computer is now stuck in safe mode with Windows, by instructions, here, I'd disabled everything for start up in Configuration Utility and checked start up in safe mode there too, so now I can't get it out of it, and since my mouse and keyboard won't opperate in safe mode, I get to the log in page to select user but the mouse just won't move and pressing "CTRL ALTDLT" no response.
In the Recovery Counsole when I rean CHKDSK /r this is what it came back with...
"The volume appears to contain or or more unrecoverable problems."
97638572 kilobytes total disk space.
90877508 kilobytes are available.
406 bytes in each allocation unit.
24409643 total allocation units on disk.
22719377 allocation units available on disk.
So what does that mean? Not sure what the " volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems" means when it's not telling me what they could possibly be. Thoughts anyone?
If anyone knows or has some good advice on how to get windows back up and running correctly, and without wiping out my data - as I can't get it backed up, I would be tremendously grateful...
2 months of this is really enough, dying to use my system, and praying that I can...
Thanks so much,
Kitti

Here's what worked: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330184
I followed the instructions above and once I finished, After re-booting, I selected Microsoft Windows XP Professional and the System Configuration Utility came up.
On the “General” tab, it shows that the Start Up Selection is on “Selective Startup” with everything checked, but what’s marked “Using Modified BOOT.INI
Tried to change it to “Normal Startup – load all device drivers and services” then re-start.
Windows came back up, but so did the System Configuration Utility and still showing that it was starting up with “Selective Startup”
Now just need to figure out how to start it up in “Normal”, if in fact that’s possible. Will keep you posted and if anyone has any further suggestions, that would be much appreciated.
I do hope this will help all the others that have run into the main issue, which I have found is caused by the Parallels Desktop by they way, not Microsoft, and that start having issues by getting the dreaded " hal.dll " file is missing or corrupt on a direct Boot to Windows.
Very long and sleepless night….

IPad not recognized by itunes or my PC...stuck in recovery mode

Wow... what a mess.
I inherited a first gen iPad last week... wanted to wipe it clean and start fresh. Restored and erased all content... and now it's stuck in recovery mode. It's not recognized in iTunes or at all by my PC. When I plug it in... nothing at all. Looked in my device manager for it to show up... nothing. Tried restaring it, putting it into DFU mode, plugging it into different usb ports, different usb cables, reinstalling itunes, trying it on multiple different computers, and pretty much every how to help article I could find on the web.
HELP! There must be some way to kick this thing back to life. It's fully charged, was treated well before I had it, and practically new.
HELP! Please.

did you try all those steps:
Disconnect the device from the computer.
Save a screenshot by pressing the Home button and the Wake/Sleep button at the same time (the screen should flash briefly). Note: Taking screenshots and saving images on iPod touch requires iOS version 2.0 or later.
Reconnect the device to the computer.
Open the Device Manager in Windows as follows:
Windows XP: Click Start > Run. In the resulting dialog type devmgmt.msc and press Return on the keyboard.
Windows Vista or Windows 7: Click Start. In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return on the keyboard. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
Expand all the sections labeled below (not all sections may be listed):
Imaging Devices
Other Devices
Portable Devices
Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Look for the entry that recognizes the device as a camera. This entry should be called Apple iPhone,Apple iPad, or Apple iPod.
