N97 turned off for no apparent reason

I was using my n97 this morning to read the news on BBC, after pressing on the back button the screen locked up, tried again, then tried one flick of the side slide button and the screen went blank. The device had just switched itself off, it didn't warn about sutting down or anything, just went off like the battery had been pulled. A £450 so called flagship device.
I have also noticed if I go and look at some photos, or even listen to the radio, then go back to the main screen and later press the Applications button on screen, it takes to to photos, or the Radio screen, when I should be taken to the Applications screen.
FW v20
full battery
no extras software added to the device
the only software running was the web browser
I have found the more I use the n97 the worse it becomes!

Hello,
I have the same problem on my N97. It turning off when I leave it for longer period of time without using it. I have latest firmware v20. I have no comparison to the previous firmware versions because I have N97 for only one month. It turning off in dual and single mode - it has no meaning which one I'm using.
Does anyone have idea how to fix this problem? Maybe the new version of firmware will solve it?

Blackberry Radio Turns Off For No Apparent Reason

Lately my radio function turns off and I have no idea why. I turn it back on and it stays on for hours or days - then shuts off again. Any ideas?

This has happened to me a couple of times as well. I'm not sure if it's due to the battery or not. I can tell you, though, that it doesn't come back on if the battery charges. I can understand, to a point, if the antenna were to turn itself off automatically to preserve batter power, but you would think it could turn itself back on if the battery were charged. A couple of times, I haven't actually noticed that it was off until I tried to send an SMS or something. I found out, once, that it had been off for over a day and a half and I would have definitely charged it during that period. So if it's the battery, it's a "one way" deal. But, to be honest, neither (battery going low / antenna shutting off) happens enough for me to really say for certain.
Of course, in my situation, I merely turned it back on via the control icon; no need to pop the battery. We've had a few users, here at work, who've had situations like that. Not so much popping the battery, but having to do a full power off and power on. Of course, they weren't 8700s...

N73 Shutting off for no apparent reason

Hi all
I'm new here, I have already checked the site for similar postings and found one in particular that was identical to my subject heading, however, there is no remedy that I can see anywhere on this site, I did try to google it and the only fix I could find was to update the firmware, which I did, this made no difference at all, the phone still shuts off from time to time and for no apparent reason, its not the battery, as it turns on without any issue, the phone was a gift from my company, so no proof of purchase, although have the box, with bar code, IME number and various other numbers, but Nokia say they cannot accept the phone without proof of purchase, so there you go, has anyone found out why this is happening, myself and the other guy who posted cannot be the only people with this particular problem and I'm sure that someone from Nokia will be reading these posts, surely they know about it and have a fix, if so I would very much like to know what it is, thank you.

Without the option of bringing it to you Nokia Care Centre, the only suggestions I can give are as follows:
1. Make sure your battery contacts are clean and battery is secure.
2. Reset your phone.
Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
First try these
First try *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default
If that does not work then try *#7370# - Reformat your phone

Camera on new 520 turns on for no apparent reason

I just got a new 520; haven't even loaded a sim card yet.
I am using it on WIFI. The camera turns on and takes pictures for no apparent reason. It didn't do this when I first used it, but it doing it every couple minutes now. At first I thought I was hitting the camera button (they put it in a silly place) but now I am being careful to avoid it and the problem is getting worse.
Am I doing something wrong or is it defective?
Any way to just turn it off?

I would assume the camera key is stuck or not released to back in place. There is no way to activate camera on WP8 other than pressing the camera key, so get it checked in Nokia care center.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

Microphone turning on for no apparent reason...

I upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1 to 3.1.2 all in a very short period of time, so this problem might be for people with those OS as well however I'm currently using 3.1.2 and I am noticing that when I'm on Safari, or any app that happens to have a feature where you tap to enter information (such as the address bar/search feature), within about 3 seconds of taping and having the address bar/search feature/whatever come up, the clicking noise will happen (if it happens, since it doesn't always); when I put my ear to the microphone, it is obvious that the microphone is turning on (hence the soft clicking noise) and I can hear its static when my ear is up to it. I think this also might be happening at random other times as well, but it's very obvious that it happens most often when I am surfing around on Safari because I use it frequently and because if I'm in a quite room often typing in a URL or search, the clicking noise can be a constant annoyance. I suppose it is also worth mentioning that I recently (for an unrelated matter) went into General, Rest, and Reset All Settings.
Does anyone else have this problem, or have any suggestions?

3gs phone turns off for no reason

iPhone turns off for no apparent reason. Battery is at full capacity and I just synced it. I have the latest 4.3.3 software. Any ideas? My girlfriend has the same issues and we use different computers and accounts to sync our iPhones. We've had the phones for a little over 2 years now.

Thanks to everyone who has had input into this problem for me. I now have my phone working again. What did I do...?
1st I got two of my smarter younger brothers to help and they proceeded to try a variety of things including:-
a) swapping batteries from their phone with mine, which didn't work
b)swapping SIM cards with mine, which also didn't work but did allow us to have a longer play around with my phone as it didn't turn off when a different SIM was in the phone
What worked? We decided to "Restore factory settings" on my phone. My phone doesn't remove Contacts, Calendar entries and one other personal item which I can't recall when you use this function but we still saved my contacts to one of my brothers SIMs and also moved a number of photos, recordings, and video over to my memory card.
Once this was done I put my SIM back in then restored the factory settings. There was just enough time to get to this function, just note that if you do this function you may need to have your "Security Code" handy.
I don't think that there is any conspiracy with the phone companies (I'm with Virgin Mobile), but what I think happened was that my Brother in Law sent me a Xmas message that had some inbuilt functionality (packet data??) that my phone needed to download to view it. I think this was the cause because when my brother's SIM was in my phone I received a msg on my phone that read "Unable to receive msg from..." and I select "OK" which I think rejected it.
Hope this help someone out in the future? Hope that I haven't been to vague. Let me know if you would like any more info.
Cheers, and I hope all get their phones working again.

Wifi signal drops to two bars for no apparent reason

Possibly since the last Apple system upgrade, the Airport signal to my Airport Extreme just drops down to two or three bars often, sometimes off, for no apparent reason.
My set up is
imac Intel (n) ->
Airport Extreme Base Station (n) ->
Printer (wifi) and modem (ethernet)
The connection was very bad when we bought the airport, eventually we had it replaced, it was then mostly OK, recently it's started acting up again.
I have tried turning off the computer and Base Station and modem and printer and restarting. Doesn't help. Right now it's just jumped up to 5 bars again. Neither computer nor base station ever move. The base station is one room away (about 9m). There is no change in the obstacles between the computer and the base station. The temperature of the airport card, according to istat pro, is 66°C - the weather is hot here.
To get the replacement from Apple last time, we had to spend about ten hours on the phone, repeating the problem over and over again, resetting the Airport countless times, creating new accounts, and even reinstalling the system (none of which helped).
So I was wondering if this is a known problem, or if anyone had any solutions to offer other than obvious resetting of the base station etc.
Many thanks for your help - this is a wonderful machine but an annoying problem.
Alexia
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x88)
Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.46.7)
Airport model number: A1143
Serial number: 6F7.........EW

Hi Brandon - thanks for the suggestion!
Funnily enough - ever since writing that message the Airport has been on 5 bars continuously ! I simply have no idea why - unless there was some kind of delayed action of a few hours after restarting everything…
Anyway, I had a look at Airport Utility out of interest - I am on 100% and 2MB. Should I be on 5.5 or 11 MB ?
Also a screen came up saying there was a firmware update available, and then a second one. So I updated - so far so good - maybe that was somehow blocking things ?

Why does my iphone 4 cut calls short for no apparent reason

I have an Iphone4 on the O2 network in Scotland and it often cuts calls off for no apparent reason. Has anyone else experienced this and if si did you find a solution?

No, it isn't! Maybe I should check it, then restart iTunes, uncheck it again & restart iTunes again. Might be worth a try.

My ipad went blank last night for no apparent reason. It was on one minute, and then completely dark. I didn't touch it, it just seemed to have died. I tried turning it back on/off, but nothing happens. Anyone else have a similar situation?

Thansk for the reply King_Penguin...let me elaborate and see what you think...I had the ipad2 in the office and saw the battery was getting really low. I tried charging it with the iphone charger (connects to my pc at work). It took a while, but it got enough juice in the ipad2 to bring it back to life. when I got home, I hooked it up, and got to about 50%. All was fine, then I was attempting to hook it up to my TV with the AV adapter (or VGA adapter, whatever it is), left the ipad alone for a minute, came back to it, and that's when it went dark. I tried the home/sleep buttons, but only for about 5 seconds...any other suggestions in case that doesn't work? Thanks again...

Thanks, AM_Kidd, I had tried that before but I tried again and this time it WORKED!!!!
The buzzing stopped and I have the home screen up again.
Phew! It may be that it had been on charge for the last 30 mins.
Whatever. Again, many thanks.

My iPhone turned off for no reason and wont turn back on but it will show me the apple logo then turn off again. I have connected it to the computer and attempted to reset it but it turns off before it can reset.

Ok. I have doen some research and I have some things for you to try.
First, what version iPhone do you have?
Second, Try holding the home+sleep button for ten seconds and you should see the apple logo come up.
Are you using your iPhone with a Mac or PC?
Have you upgraded to iTunes 11?

My iPhone 4S just turned off for no reason and won't turn back on?

My iPhone 4S just died for no apparent reason and now it will not turn back on. It was at about 90% battery at the time because I had just recently charged it so I don't think it died because of low battery. I have tried plugging it into outlets and computers/iTunes and nothing seems to work. I also can't do the trick involving holding down the power and home button because my power button has been jammed for over a year now. My iPhone is about 2 years old and I have never had this problem before. Earlier today it died for no reason but when I plugged it in, it turned on with no problem.
Is there anything I can do about this? Also, I am due for a phone upgrade in about 3 weeks. I was planning on getting the 5S. Is there any way that I would be able to get the upgrade several weeks early if my phone is broken?
