Phone is locked many times a day (have to perform ...
Hi All
Overall I like the phone but I have 2 issues lately that really "#¤% me.
Sometimes when I shall answer a call I am unable to swipe the lock screen up and answer. I have found a solution to press the "close screen" button twice and then it work again. This problem have been there for months (from the beginning?)
The most "¤"#¤ problem is that the phone locks up and most of the time just display the text "Fortsætter" (continuing in English) when I try to wake up the phone by pressing the side button. Only way out is to perform a soft reset. This happens aprox 3 times a day. The phone can also lock in other ways. Mostly when connecting to a WI-FI node.
Any suggestions other than performing a factory reset?
Best regards
Benny
NB: 920 phone
I would check to see what applications you have installed and see if one of them is creating the issue.
if it continues, then you may want to completely reformat your device to factory state. this will completely wipe your device of all data, so you will need to back up everything.

I have the iPhone 4S, and have only had it 5 days. Two days ago, I accidently reset my passcode and did not write it down. I have no idea what the passcode is, and have tried so many times that i have totally enabled my phone, and it says connect to iTunes to take care of it but i have no idea how. PLEASE HELP ME
Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch the iTunes app if not already launched.
Since you have never synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer which can include much more than music, more than likely you will be prevented from restoring the iPhone with iTunes the normal way. This prevents someone from syncing your iPhone with iTunes on another computer in the event your iPhone was lost or stolen.
If you are prompted to enter your passcode when connecting your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, you must place your iPhone into recovery mode. If successful, this will require restoring the iPhone with iTunes - as a new iPhone. iTunes creates and maintains a backup for the iPhone when syncing, which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process, but since you don't know the passcode and you have never synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer, a backup will not be created. You will lose data on your iPhone such as contacts, notes, calendar events, etc.

Hi Since updating to ios 7.04 i have noticed the phone consumes so much more power. I have to charge the phone twice sometimes 3 times a day. WHY?
Hi,
Thanks! I forgot to add, I have debonded and rebonded the bluetooth in car and phone and have carried out 3 restores on the phone in my ITunes. All to no avail. I have also jsut spent £40 on a lead from Ford that has made no difference too! I went to them today to request a software upgrade on my car as I though perhaps the lack of connectivity in the car was down to the car being behind the iOS5 software but was informed there was no need for an upgrade and this problem is purely an apple problem! Is there any way around the downgrade? Or are apple gong to resolve this problem at all?? -
Using MacBook Pro, 15", early 2008, 2.4G Intel core 2 duo, 4G ram. Software update asks to update Firefox 34.0 beta7 every day. If I update, it just asks me to do it again. It has done this through the last several Beta updates. It's a bit disconcerting, since the updates are supposedly for security and stability. Let me put the question in another way: how many times do I have to ignore the update request before it quits asking? This is all causing me to regret making Firefox my default browser, especially since Safari has been improved so much.
Even so there is only a average of nine Beta test builds for each version in six weeks, so not that often.
Sound like you the update is not installing perhaps due to read/write permission issues.

On average, how many times do you have to restart ...
Ever since I've been using the E71 (less than a month, a new set), I have to restart it about thrice daily. Mostly, the problem occurs while connecting the phone to the PC (Windows 7) when the USB connection type selector on the phone (which appears when you connect the cable and asks for which mode to connect in) freezes; but some other times, just about any application (including the built-in ones) decides to take a nap and the only way to get it back is turn the set off and then back on again. And as soon as that is done, the app icons are all moved back from the customized folders to the folder "Installations" - very frustrating. I'm afraid of restarting this phone as lots of settings and app icons revert back to the defaults after restarting and I've to go through them again. But at the same time, there seems to be no way to make a stuck USB connection type selector work again without restarting.
Well, from my experience here, I know this particular problem has no solution. (Even if the process is ended using an external app manager, it hangs again on starting the app. This continues until the phone is restarted.) Therefore, I'm not looking for a solution here, although one will be welcome if you've undergone the same and have found a workaround. I just wanna know if you do also have to restart your phone. (I also have one Sony Ericsson and an iPhone; I don't generally need to restart them as long as I don't want to restart. At my current place, however, a Nokia phone is all I can use.)
So, do you have to restart your phone when you don't actually want to? If so, on average how many times a day (or a week)? This will help me determine if the problem lies with the phone or it's me who's doing something differently. Is there something you need to do regularly or often (like connecting the phone to the computer) and that operation generally results in a restart of the phone? Thank you for your response.Yes I have apps installed on the SD card. Shifting them to the internal memory is not really an option (would leave very little free space over there which would then cause other problems). Besides, if the phone allows you to install the apps on the card, shouldn't they work from there? Yes, they should.
Without the card, there will be no custom apps and the phone would be almost useless (will turn into a basic device used to make calls and send text). To me, this is not an option. Also, I don't see how it would solve the problem automagically after some time.
The card doesn't seem to be faulty. I tried to connect the phone without the card inserted and it got connected alright for two times but the USB mode chooser froze the third time, just the same as with the card inserted. So a new card is probably not going to solve the problem.
Must be something strange happening here. Maybe it's due to the apps installed on the card rather than the internal memory, but I just cannot install all those apps within that limited space.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm waiting for more members' experience to come to any conclusion. -
VERY strange. I upgraded to 6 when it came out and it took me quite a few days later to figure out WHY I went from no crashes to nvidia driver crashes MANY times a day.
It was firefox 6.0.
I thought my nvidia drivers were out of date. They were one version behind so I upgraded. Crash.
I thought maybe some kernel interaction might be an issue so I compiled up the latest Linux 3.0.3 and re-installed the nvidia drivers.
Still crash. Took me a few more days to realize the only thing that changed on my system was Firefox. I usually upgrade without thinking.
I switched to Opera. Not a single crash in a week. So it is Firefox. I dug and dug and dug on google and found a remote reference to some acceleration added in 6. I disabled it. It still crashes. I have moved back to Firefox 5 and have run all day without a crash.
My computer at home runs about a dozen web sites, 2 X servers on separate consoles (one for standard browsing and all other functions and one for World of Warcraft gaming - I like to keep them separate), FTP, TeamSpeak server ver 2 & 3, NFS for terrabytes of media files, lets just say many things. Firefox 6 killed me.
What more info do you need. Sorry I pasted ver 5 Troubleshooting Info, but I need a special request before I run anything greater than 6 on this system again. I will do it if needed but I will need a reboot to prevent all these kernel/video driver crashes.
ONLY when I run Firefox 6. After some small usage (while watching xine videos or web browsing youtube, playing WoW, or who knows what) the screen FLASHES and I know a freeze is eminent. If I can get one last xterm up I can dmesg and see these messages or if I log in with my android phone via SSH. I still have control of the system just no display. I can reboot there or Alt-Sysrq Sync, Unmount, Boot to restart my system many times a day.

It is also run through a staged procedure releasing as six weeks each in Nightly -> Aurora -> Beta versions. Although some code change will occur in that process. The Releases also must also pass automated testing.
Once the Release happens then we can look for problems showing up from: the crash reporter, the input feedback, telemetry,and comments on this forum.
Problems do and always will get through but it is unlikely a problems causing Firefox not to start would go unnoticed unless it only affected a vanishingly small proportion of users (nearly 1/2 Billion total),and then it would possibly be because of specific hardware or interactions with other software.

Presumably you installed the conduit plugin deliberately and like it. A simple web search suggests many users may be unhappy with that software. Search

It is suggested that you scan with multiple varied and up to date tools not just one as they tend to pick up different things.

My Z10 restarts randomly many times a day
Hello BB Supporters and Users, My Z10 (STL100-1) starts restarting randomly one week ago, it crashed many times a day without any noticeable reasons. It reboots even while it is idle. I have been using my phone for 9 months without any problem. I have tried to put a small piece of paper to keep my battery tightly contacts with power pins but reboots still happen. I also use autoloader to put my phone to original state, remove all removable apps (facebook ...) but reboots still happen. I have searched for solutions in forums but my phone's problem doesnot disappear. Does anyone have any suggesstion?
(1st use here) Mollie this has been happening to ME alot this past month or so---(I have yet to contact tho so I was 'enlightened' by the fact that you HAVE & have yet to get an answer!!!)
I play a game through Facebook--it crashes frequently. This is my PC version:
(HP p7-1226s, 6.00 RAM, 64bit OS)
Flash Version: 11.7.700.224/MozillaFF, BUT I've recently downloaded Waterfox & currently use this. (I guess a spinoff from FFox)
which helped me greatly, as far as crashing every few seconds!! I was very skeptical to try Waterfox but upon Forum chatter I decided to try it. YAY!!!!) I suggest that to you, Mollie--Waterfox saved me from the funny farm, seriously!! & I hope I don't get into hot 'water' by writing that!!
To the powers that BE: I am in unison with Mollie up there & NOW I am getting these pop ups near my game:
"! (inside a yield sign) Problems have been detected with your Flash Player version" with a green bar trying to show that it is 'filling'. I get msgs on the sides as well, showing the sad adobe face with a saying of general flash crash yet I DO get grey/gray screen&crashes!!. While I KNOW that the 1st warning I rec'd was
probably an ad--it/they GOT to me because I am actually having ISSUES with it, so I also wonder how far or how deep/what lengths MY Adobe flash has to do with any of these pop ups & DOES adobe warn us on the sidebars of game screens??. & here's is hoping that I can find this danged ?? & answers once I logout!!
(my apologies if I've infringed upon any1's posts or rights as this is the only place that I could find to post!!)
thank you very much!! -
Firefox is crashing every time I have my MSN email account up. (Since I use it for business, that's many times per day.) It seems to coincide with hotmail's latest update where the email is checked and downloaded to the inbox automatically. Then when it asks me if I want to send the crash report to Firefox, I select yes and it tells me it had trouble sending the report. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting I can change? I can't seem to keep my email account up for more than 10 minutes.
p.s if you're reading this Microsoft, it's still not bad enough to make me to go back to Internet Explorer!Hi,

Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
Restart your Mac.
That's why you see this:
When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
After your restart your Mac, click the Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Is it ok to charge iphone many times a day?
i always want to have a full battery, is it ok to charge the iphone many times every day(4-5 times)?
No. you should wear the battery down to 10-20%. Iphone batteries are designed to charge a limited number of times then they will no longer hold a charge. Charging so frequently will kill the battery early.

When I try to open a file I created in Pages, I get this: "The required index.xml file is missing."
This has happened many times and I have forgotten how I've worked around it.That is wrong advice and you appear to have repeated it all over the forum.
All Pages files no matter what version have the same file extension, .pages, despite being radically different formats and that is the problem. The System does not distinguish between them when you double click on the file, it opens the first version of Pages it encounters.
You need to right click on the file and choose the correct App version for the file. Unfortunately there are no clues to tell you which is which.
If you are unhappy with this and the removal of over 100 features plus the problems with transmitting files across devices, servers and different versions of OS X, rate/review Pages 5.5.2 in the App Store.

TS1398 One iPod drops WiFi many times per day. Another never does. Why?
I bought two iPod 4s for Christmas, one for my son and one for my wife. They use them around the house, and my wife's never drops the WiFi signal. My son's however drops the signal many times per day, and it asks for the Wi-Fi password each time. I can't figure out how to make his work like his mother's. How can I make his Apple experience better?
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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Restore from backup. See:

how many times do you have to pay for a Creative Cloud complete plan prepaid if it says an amount of money per year? do you have to pay that every year?
Perhaps the unclear part here is that the Cloud is a subscription offering. You never pay for it outright and never actually own it.
12 months pre-paid simply means paying the full 12 months subscription upfront. The following year, you do the same. And the same every year after that.
Like any subscription, if you want to keep using the software, you keep paying the monthly (or annual) fee every month (or year), year in, year out.
When you cancel your subscription, or it expires and you don't renew, then the software stops working. -
