Hello Friends,
My N8 screen is going black whenever I am making calls in the bright sunlight. So I cannot view the dialler at all and unable to end the calls. This problem really annoys me a lot. Anyone expereinces this problems. Please help me in this regard.
thank you very much,
Shijo

Ja. it has funny tendencies. The proximity sensor turns the screen off when you bring the phone close to your ear then when you remove it could take a couple of seconds for it to come back on.
I did notice it's a bit worse when in bright sunny conditions. If the key pad was locked when you received the call it can also cause make that lag a little longer

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.

Skype screen goes white during calls and video calls

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 and recently after the latest skype upgrade I'm getting a white screen during regular calls and during video call while I can talk and hear the other side and on the video call the other side can see me. Important to mention that I see the contact list on the left side.
What should I do in order to fix it? (tried reinstalling skype)
Thanks a lot in advance!

Screen Goes Black During Startup (after login)

Hello,
I have a 2005 Mac Mini PPC OS 10.4.11. This is the first problem I've had since purchasing the computer. This problem popped up out of nowhere. The screen goes black during startup just after I login into my account. I can hear the hard drive spin like it is finishing the startup process. The monitor power button blinks green.
I'm using the digital video cable. I tried switching to the VGA cable but the screen then goes black before the login screen.
The computer will startup in Safe mode.
I've tried Disk Utility (repair disk and repair permissions), Techtool Pro, Drive Genius, ColorSync Utility, Reset Pram, installed latest OS updates, and even re-installed the System twice (once because I removed all the Extension files and then the computer would not startup at all).
I've also tried removing cache files, plist files, startup files, preference files, and some or all of extension files.
The only applications I have recently installed were QuickTime Pro and a .flv movie player; both about a week before this problem started. I tried to uninstall them but could not figure out how.
What is the problem? How can this be fixed?
Thanks.
Richard

Howdy. I have Had the same problem as you in regards to a ViewSonic Monitor and the Mac Mini. This is my post:
Monitor failure when switching resolutions
Using Displays with the Mac mini, Apr 1, 2008, Replies: 2
Running 10.5.2 on Mac Mini G4 1.42 Ghz with ATI Radeon 9200, 32 MB VRAM and ViewSonic VX922
When switching resolutions from 1280x1024 to 800x600 or vice versa, the monitor will cut to black and the power light on the monitor switches from solid green to flashing green. Only by combinations of powering down the mini and starting it up again with the monitor on or off will bring the monitor back to life. This problem makes it difficult to play World of Warcraft amongst other games. Any feedback in regards to this problem would be appreciated.
Thank You!
At this point, I am unable to switch Monitor resolutions. If I do, the monitor goes black, and I have to power everything down and wait a while before I can restart.
I've resigned myself to not switching resolutions, but I'm wondering if you've had any luck.
Thanks for your time!

My Lumia Icon goes dark during calls and I cannot access the phone pad to unless I hit the power button.

My Lumia Icon goes dark during calls and I cannot access the phone pad to unless I hit the power button. Because of this it makes it tough to put my phone on speaker or type in my v-mail password.

I've been trying to find a common denominator. It happens inconsistently. It never happened before the Denim update. When it does occur, the screen goes black immediately upon answering the call and doesn't come back until the call is ended by the calling party.
I thought it might be the proximity sensor, but when it's working normally I can see the screen go dark when it's at my ear and comes back when I take it away (tried it multiple times). I had Gestures Beta installed. I wondered if that could have an affect so I uninstalled it, but that didn't make any difference. I'm still stumped by the inconsistency. I haven't reset my phone as I didn't really want to go through that...

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

Screen goes of during watching movie

During watching movie the screen goes off (black) after x amount of time, just as when im doing nothing. This is terribly annoying when watching a movie,, what can i do about it??

this is what i do for movies--
click on the battery icon on the top right hand corner of the computer and go to "open energy saver". then create a custom battery setting so that the screen doesnt dim for x amount of hours or whatever. just use that custom setting when watching a movie.

When phone screen goes off and turned on the running app closes. Why ?

When i run Here Map app and after the timeout the screen goes off and when i turn on screen back the app will be closed.Is this a problem or fire fox OS works like this ?

Are you sure, the app is closed (possibly, it is only minimized and you can access is via the application manager: http://mzl.la/1BATUYe#w_open-the-application-manager)

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.

E71x shuts off during calls

E71x in perfect shape shuts fully off during calls only, never any other time. In the middle of a call, not when hitting a button or anything. I had originally installed "xplore" and deleted some native ATT games, installed skfire and google maps. Since then I did the hard reset which seemed to re-install everything, "monopoly" and the other origional native ATT games etc. With the hard reset done, the "xplore", skyfire and google maps where gone and I haven't reinstalled them. Anyone with similar problem or ideas where to look? I got it from Amazon.com (brand new, not refurb or anything).

On the AT&T help forum the best I could get is that it is a software glitch that showed up maybe on an install of something or they say more likely when I used "xplore" to remove some of the ATT apps (it thinks you are actually trying to shut the phone down...so it does) . Remember mine is the E71x which is ATT branded with all kinds of junk software for ATT. But I did do a *#7370# reset and it brought all the original software back and Google maps was gone, but that didn't help at all. Anyway they thought it should be under a warranty since mine is only 30 days old so I'm gonna try at the ATT store today. Good luck with yours and at least I know someone else is having the same problem. In all the reading I've done it does not seem common so I hope a new phone won't do it too. It is funny how I can text and wi-fi play music and it never hiccups, but as soon as the call is connected it's now powering down every time in about 5 seconds. Google maps......hmmmm.

Phone cutting off during calls

Hi, I hope someone can help, for the last 2 months my phone has occasionally cut off during calls, for seamingly no reason, full signal full battery. For the last 2 weeks it has cut off on every call. Does anyone know how to fix this please its driving me crazy. x

It's most likely something you should talk to your wireless service provider about. If it's not a network problem they may be able to swap sim cards for you, and if that doesn't help, possibly exchange the device.

Iphone 4 switchs off during call

i am having this problem since 2 month earlier when the batt level would drop to 50 the iphone used to get switched off during call.. i upgraded the phone to ios5.1 after that two monthsf it was fine but past three days it gets swicthed off during call as well as while surfing . even when the battery level is 100 % dont why this is happening???

First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.
If this does not help, set it up as new device, if necessary without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt files which are causing your problem.
