Palm TX keeps turning itself on -- what's wrong

My Palm TX turns itself on with a little "beep" periodically, seemingly for no reason - and of course it stays on, so the battery dies!  Any advice on this???

A soft reset is performed by sticking something thin, such as your sylus, into the back reset hole of your palm. It will restart your palm without losing any info.

    If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

  • Blackberry Pearl keeps turning itself on and off then searching for network...........

    Hi people, not sure if anybody can help however I have a Blackberry Pearl 9105 and for the past 2 weeks its keeps turning itself off and on and also keeps saying 'searching for network' at random times.  I therefore thought it may require a new battery so brought a new battery - was fine for 5 hrs and then started doing it again!
    Any ideas on what it could be please...............it is quite old now and am due an upgrade at the end of August which is so annoying.  Vodafone won't let me upgrade early either.  If no-one knows am going into a vodafone store on Saturday to see of they can test it!
    But I'm so lost without it - I have brought a cheap emergency mobile however I miss my blackberry!!
    Thanking you in advance!

    Hey zmblake,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest to do a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320, please test before restoring any data to the device.
    If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)

    If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
    Thank you

  • Ipad Volume keeps turning itself all the way down

    ipad Volume keeps turning itself all the way down rendomly i`ve tryed everything from upgrading to V5 to rest the device what should i do

    Is the switch above the volume set for mute?  Accidentally bumping that would turn down the volume.
    Try Settings > General > Lock Rotation to On and see if that eliminates the problem (although beware that the switch will now control screen rotation.  If sound starts working corrcetly, but your screen lock keeps setting, then I think you are having a switch problem.

  • My iPod touch keeps turning itself off

    My iPod touch keeps turning itself off. My iPod is fully updated and charged. When i try and turn it on the apple symbol comes on but a bit later turns itself off again (even when on a charger) what should i do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipad2 keeps turning itself off and On

    my ipad2 keeps turning itself off and on. I can be playing a game or looking on the Internet and it will just turn off and restart all by itself. I pulled up and hooked it up to itunes on my computer but I'm not really sure what to do there either.  It's so annoying, especially when it's used daily, or all day, by me or my kids and it's constantly shutting off in the middle of things.

    DId the rebooting start recently after doing an iOS update or installing a game? 
    There could be several reasons for your iPad randomly shutting down & restarting. 
    Sometimes low memory (RAM) can cause the issue. 
    First, restart the iPad by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears then let go and wait until the iPad boots up normally.  This can help clear the cache & free up memory.
    If that doesn't work, try a general reset:
    Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings.  You will not lose any data but will have to log back into your Wifi networks.
    If the issue occurs while using a particular app, try uninstalling the app to see if it continues.
    As a last resort try restoring the iPad back to factory settings.  Be sure to backup your iPad first.

    Unfortunately, it may also be that your battery is starting to fail but try the above to see if the problem persists.

  • My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

    I am trying to charge my iPad but it won't charge & keeps turning itself on and off

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.
