Phone goes into standby and wont turn off after update!!! please help me as hate it

On Friday I turned my phone off as per usual and turned back on in the morning to find the phone totally different.
The red lock button now only sends the phone into like a sleep mode, and i cant find any where to turn it off.
The screens keep fading down and I have re set the backlight to not dim but some thing is over riding it.
I used to love my phone and now hate it so much, is there a way of booting this update off my phone and putting it back to how it was. I tried to restore and its the same and then tried to put the phone back to previous settings I had stored on my lap top but again nothing.
I now have some new blackberry software on the lap top too which now does not even recognise my phone and there for the past restore points I had.
My daughters bold 9700 does the same thing now too, please please help

Hiya!
 Blackberry doesnt actually "turn off" it only goes into a standby mode (press and hold the end call button). To fully power it down, you would perform a battery pull.

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • And wont turn on at all. please help thanks.

    my ipod touch wont charge when i plug it into the computer or any source off power and wont turn on at all. anyone got any ideas of how i could maybe fix it. thanks.

    Have you tried using a different connecting cable?  Sometimes those or their connectors fail.
    If that doesn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes and see if it is recognized?
    If not, might be time to visit an Apple Retail genius bar and have it checked out.

  • My ipod wont turn off!! please help

    i did nothing to my ipod to make it not turn off. i was listing to it for a while and when i decided i was done using it i wanted to turn it off and it wouldnt work. i can go from one song to the next with no problem and i can pause it and all that good stuff but it just wont turn off. i tried letting it cut off by itself( put ot on pause and wait for a couple of min) but its been almost a half an hour and it still hasnt turn off. please help me!!!

    Have had the same problem for a couple of weeks. Have tried the 5 Rs and other tips found on this site. Nothing seems to work. Only thing that does work is if ipod is connected via USB and itunes is running. It can then be turned off and will remain turned off when you disconnect your ipod. But this isnt much help if you have to connect to your computer each time you want to turn your ipod off! Still waiting for a complete answer I'm afraid ......

  • Ipad Randomly Died and Wont turn back on! Please Help! What Do I Do?? :(

    Hey people, earlier on i was just generally using my ipad, facebooking and stuff, it was on around half battery, i looked at my tv for a minute, looked back at my ipad, and it was dead! it will not turn back on, no buttons do anything, plugging into itunes does nothing, and charging does nothing!! it has never been dropped, or harmed in any way at all, and im really scared, please help me! any suggestions will be strongly appreciated! thanks

    A system Reset cures many ills and takes but a minute to perform:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A Reset does NOT delete apps, photos, movies, music or any other data. A Reset does NOT delete any settings for email, network access, etc.
    Also, you might wish to download the 4.2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 170.

  • My ipod touch is froze and wont turn off. any ideas?

    My ipod touch is frozen and wont turn off. I need help everything ive tried isnt working!

    Just had this similiar issue with my iPod.  Simple steps found through the Apple Support Website. Follow this link:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320, or follow instructions listed below to reset a frozen iPod nano/classic/color display/click-wheel, etc.:
    1) Toggle the Hold switch on and then off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again)
    2) Press and hold the Menu and center buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds.  This step may need to be repeated. (*sidenote...I also found that the iPod would not respond/reset when it was connected to my computer. It just continued to state that it was connected and needed to be ejected before disconnecting.  I pulled the link cable out of the frozen iPod and followed the above steps and it reset normally.)
    Hope this helps...

  • TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL.

    TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL. IPAD MAY NEED MORE FREE MEMORY FOR THE NEW SOFTWARE BUT HOW DO I FREE UP MEMORY IF THE IPAD IS FROZEN. CAN THIS BE DONE ON iTUNES OR THE APPLE SITE?

    Took my iPad to the Apple store today and they were able to unfreeze it with a simple forced reset. This is done by pressing the Off button at the same time as you press the button on the front and hold for about 20 seconds. The new software had successfully installed and the iPad had frozen when it was starting up again after install. Not sure why this simple process can't be part of a FAQ page on the Apple site.

    apple sign shows up and then turns off after a few seconds, and i can not connect to my itunes

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

    I recently tried to add a couple of "ip dhcp relay address" statements to an SVI and received the following error message:
    ERROR: Hardware programming failed. Reason: Tcam will be over used, please enable bank chaining and/or turn off atomic update
    Studying this page I was able to determine, that I seemed to be hitting a 50% TCAM utilization limit on the F1 modules, which prevented atomic updates:
    # show hardware access-list resource entries module 3
             ACL Hardware Resource Utilization (Module 3)
                              Instance  1, Ingress
    TCAM: 530 valid entries   494 free entries
    IPv6 TCAM: 8 valid entries   248 free entries
                              Used    Free    Percent
                                              Utilization
    TCAM                      530     494     51.75 
    I was able to workaround it be disabling atomic updates:
    hardware access-list update default-result permit
    no hardware access-list update atomic
    I understand, that with this config I am theoretically allowing ACL traffic during updates which shouldn't be allowed (alternately I could drop it), but that's not really my primary concern here.
    First of all I need to understand why adding DHCP relays are apparently affecting my TCAM entry resources?
    Second, I need to understand if there are other implications of disabling atomic updates, such as during ISSU?
    Third,  What are my options - if any - for planning the usage of the apparently relatively scarce resources on the F1 modules?

    Could be CSCua13121:
    Symptom:
    Host of certain Vlan will not get IP address from DHCP.
    Conditions:
    M1/F1 Chassis with Fabric Path Vlan with atomic update enable.
    On such system if configured SVI with DHCP is bounced that is if we shut down and bring it up may cause DHCP relay issue.
    Workaround:
    Disable Atomic update and bounce the Vlan. Disabling Atomic update may cause packet drops .
    Except that ought to be fixed in 6.2(2).

    my iphone4 wont turn on after updating to ios5

    Hi
    Sounds like it's broken in a potentially major way after the drop. You really should take it to your nearest Apple Store/Apple Authorised Repair Centre a diagnosis and quote.
    Can't think of anything else any of us on this user-to-user forum can do for you?
    HTH?
