Nokia N81 8gb Screen goes crazy

ok so i buaght my Nokia N81 like in january last year and ive been using it quiet regularly....
Until today... I slid the phones slider to reveal the keys to write a text message, when the screen went crazy with funky colours and such lines and random things on the screen. If i slide it up and down while its like this it changes its effects and stuff as if its something to do with the contacts of the slider and the screen. If i let the screen black out into powersaver it returns normal but if i slide it again to close the phone or open it back up it goes nuts again.
i tried leaving the battery out but no use.
LOTS OF HELP please ?
i was thinking a factory reset ??

Hi! I have the same problem as well! And this is the SECOND time this is happening! The first time I took it back to my SP, and they then replaced it with a brand new handset; that was 10 months after using my phone for the first time. Now, 8 months after receiving my brand new handset, I have the same problem again!
What was very strange to me, before it first happened, was that my slider became REALLY tight and difficult to manouevre, so I slid the screen up and down as it felt like there was something obstructing the slider, and out came a clear piece of sticky plastic film... I took no note of it, until the same thing happened to me about 2 weeks before my phone went wonky again.The funny thing is, my fiancé has the 2gb phone, and he seems to have no trouble at all with his handset, and he's now had his phone for more than a year (that's longer than I've had both of my handset before going crazy), so I'm thinking it must be a problem with the N81 8gb models. Now I need to take the phone back AGAIN, which I'm not very happy about... I don't want to have to take my phone back, or repair it, every 8 to 10 months... It's a waste of my time AND money.
Oh, and another thing... when they replaced my handset, I asked them what the problem was with my phone, and they said that they didn't know, but that they couldn't fix it! SERIOUSLY?! So now how exactly will I get to repair my phone if the Nokia technicians can't even find the problem NOR fix it?! I've basically spent ALL this money on a phone that only works for a few months until it's irrepairably broken... I don't think I'll be using another Nokia after this again...

Regarding Safari; (screen goes crazy when I press the Top Sites bottom)

Regarding Safari; When I open safari everything works fine, but when I press the top sites bottom, the screen goes crazy for a second and then goes to the top sites. It is not fading or dimming from one screen to the other like it use to do. any sugestions. Thanks

Nope, it isn't normal, but I don't know the cause. You might have better luck posting in the Safari forum:

Iphone 5C wifi greyed out and screen going crazy

Hi I bought my iPhone back in October in Us from Tmobile, since December the wifi greyed out and hasn't worked once (been living on data) now recently the screen goes crazy, it types by its self unlocks the phone (dont have a password) sometimes calls people etc... now the thing is I recently moved to Dubai and I cant go to a apple store as we do not have one here, so could I ship my phone to States and have apple repair it or give me a replacement if I pay for their shipping costs back to Dubai ? Thanks for any help I can get

If not jailbroken, restore the iOS. Most likely there is a hardware problem
The warranty is valid only in the USA. Apple will not accept shipment from or ship to any address outside the USA for this phone.

My touch screen goes crazy when rain drops fall on it

When I operate my phone in rain my touchscreen responds to the rain drops. My touchscreen responds crazy when raindrops fall on it.

There are other threads concerning this, for example:

My iphone screen goes crazy when it charges

Hey there,
Whenever I charge my iPhone my screen goes crazy when I touch it. If i'm typing whilst its charging it clicks random things and deleted what i've typed. The phone works completely fine when its not charging and I haven't had any other problems with it. I have the iPhone 5c iOS 7.1.1 (about to update after this post).
If anyone could help me that would be great!
Ps. Someone posted a video and my phone does the same
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbsNCjbs-xg

I have the same exact problem and I use an Apple charger and lightning wire cord. Resetting the phone doesn't work and neither does shutting it off and turning it back on. It is infuriating to say the least, especially because this stupid phone spends more time on the charger than off. The battery is crap.

Iphone turns on for a moment screen goes crazy then shuts off

About a month or two ago I was using my brand new iPhone 3GS when all of a sudden the screen went black (backlight still on) then went crazy pixels everywhere sometimes overlapping each other then it shut off. I couldn't turn it on regularly so I waited till I got home and plugged it in, I then soft reset it and it turned back on, I had no problems until the next day it shut off in my pocket and once again I soft reset it. This happened for a few days until it finally would turn on, I'd get to the apple logo then the screen goes crazy and shuts off.
This thing has never seen water so I'm positive it isn't water damage. What could it be?

im taking it in today to see about getting it fixed, just wanted to see if there was any other way or if anyone else was having the same problem

Nokia N81 8GB Synced with iTunes not refreshing mu...

My Nokia N81 8GB was synced with iTunes, I told it to refresh and it found 1500 tunes, it proceeded to crash and after a reset it won't find anything! It took 5 hours for the transfer so I don't really want to do it again, on the off-chance it will work.
Any ideas? Thanks

Music files need to go into Music or My Music
otherwise they are not found by the music player.
If the files are in these locations and you still can't refresh the Music Library then you may have a corruption in the Music Library.
If this is the case then the best option would be to rename the folder called Private in the Mass memory to Private_old or whatever.
Then try it again.
Also test that all the other applications are working.
In case something else breaks then you can restore the folder.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Nokia N81 8GB still on V11

Has Nokia forgot all about this handset or what? It really needs a new firmware update from V11.
I know V20 is available to some handsets, but not all.

Anyone having screen bugs with iOS 5? it seems the tactile screen goes crazy in Apple iOS software, i tried reinstalling, but the same thing happens. NB iPhone 4

It seems the tactile screen goes crazy in Apple iOS software, I tried reinstalling iOS 5, but the same thing happens. When I start typing, for wxample in messaging app, I'll press a letter, and several other letters are typed... and at times, the app just closes....
My issue is with iPhone 4.
Thanks

Issue confirmed.
I tried dialing in five times with each of the following settings:
Connecting on LTE (with no confirmation boop-boop tone that I'm on the 3G Extender): the telecon login worked five out of five times. This is impractical for me as I have wretched LTE signal where I live and it snaps hard over to 1x signal every 2-5 minutes and drops my call. That's why I got an extender!
Connecting on 3G (after a #48 positive confirmation boop-boop tone that I'm on the 3G Extender): telecon login worked zero out of five times. I had stellar 3G signal, but the 'overdialing' DTMF problem was consistent and I was unable to connect to the telecon service.
Thanks for the quick reply. What do we try next?

N-Gage on Nokia N81-8gb.

Hi,
I have got an original N81-8gb (RM-179) the one that came with a demo version of the n-gage application before its first release. (Or pre version 1 of the n-gage 2 if you see what I mean). I have had no problems with it (or the device) until I came to update the n-gage client to the latest version. Unfortunately the client fails to install (regardless of how I get the installer on the device) with an error about it being a"built-in component" which I suppose it was when i first had the device, but I was able to install the first full release version.
I'm running the latest firmware 21.0.10 (Or something like that, its reported as being up to date with the Software Updater) and Have tried uninstalled everything and even reset the phone to factory defaults all to no avail. As a side note I also cannot even uninstall the n-gage application as it doesn't appear in the AppManager and pressing the 'c' key on the icon to delete also fails.
Does anyone have any ideas as the customer care email address is completely useless as they don't seem to bother reading your email and only tell you to...
1) Install the latest firmware (I already am)
2) Install the n-gage app (I can't thats the problem)
3) Reflash your n95 (I don't own one)
4) Goto 1.
I just hope that someone else has had this problem and can help. Thanks in advance.
- Skavenger.

Do a hard reset, and then try again to install the n gage application into your phone.
Hard reset (the three key code/reset). Turn off the phone. Press and hold three keys together, the green/talk key, the * key and the number '3'.Then, turn on the phone and don't let the three keys before you see the nokia hands logo/nokia boot up screen.Warning!You will lose ALL your phone's data/files!

Screen going crazy, pink horizontal lines, frequent random crashes?

Hi all,
First post here... I felt compelled to post as usually Googling a problem will bring me to a solution from one of these discussions but in this case there are many similar instances of my problem but no-one seems to be able to offer an explanantion that fits my particular circumstances.
I have a late 2011 MBP 15"
Processor = 2.2 GHz i7
Memory = 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics = Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
OS = OS X 10.9.2
Recently, my screen started randomly going crazy, all blocky and with horizontal pink lines all over. Then it would go either fully black or fully white. This usually happens when I open another tab or app. Sometimes it crashes and powers off. Sometimes it restarts.
If it powers off and I restart it or it restarts itself, the horizontal pink lines appear on the startup/spinning gear screen.
Then the screen goes fully white and the fans go crazy. Now it sometimes just stays hung like this and sometimes it powers off after about 3 minutes of crazy fans.
I switch it back on and it does the same thing.
It gets stuck in this loop for ages and often, if I just leave it and come back to it some other time, it powers up just fine however sometimes it will continue to refuse to power up.
If I try to boot into recovery mode, it blue screens.
If I try to boot into safe mode, it blue screens.
If I try diagnositics, it blue screens.
What could the problem be and how do I fix it?

I've had a similar issue with my mid-2012 13" non-retina MacBook Pro twice. First time I dropped it and it fell hard ( I mean it fell down a flight of stairs). It sounds like your graphics card and/or logic board and possibly the RAM sticks might have an issue. For me, a new logic board costs about $480 but Apple covered it twice since its less than a year old. Other issues I've had it would have a "checker-board" on startup and it would have a similar glitch when I would move it or set it down. It would also freeze and even shut down. I've also pulled it out of my bag, and it would be a lot hotter than when I put it in. I'd say set up a Genius Bar appointment or take it to a local certified apple service technician or if you really wanted to, setup an appointment and find out what's wrong and then repair it yourself, just make sure your data is backed up. I would suggest back it up to both iCloud and an external hard drive that can hold more data than the internal drive on your mac.

Theme effects on Nokia n81 8gb

Did anyone notice the theme effects option on a n81. If so, what is it for? I mean I didn't find any difference whether it is on or off. It is at Menu> Tools> Settings> General> Personalization> Themes> General> Options> Theme effects.

Do a hard reset, and then try again to install the n gage application into your phone.

My MacBook Pro Beeps and the Screen Goes Crazy

I upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB a couple months ago. Ever since then, my MacBook would freeze and the screen would get all weird and distorted, and then it continues to sound off three longish beeps. I can't do anything except hold down the power button until it shuts off. This only happens every couple of days. I'm thinking it's a RAM issue and I've already tried reseating the RAM, but it keeps happening. Anyone have any solutions? Maybe the RAM is faulty?

Wow. Every 5th thread is someone who has a problem with their screen going black since 10.6.8
