Phone screen lights up-no call-buzzes no call

I have a Samsung Stratussphere. While the phone is laying on a table or desk, sometimes the screen with light up. No call is coming in and no text is being sent or received. The screen just turns on. And last night it started to buzz as if I had it on vibrate, which I don't. It will vibrate once and the screen doesn't light up, so no call coming in, no text coming in and no calendar reminder notification. I turned the phone off and pulled the battery, but it still does this stupid buzzing. Just 3 times today and the other thing just lighting up by itself, still happening couple times a week or more.

WRT the phone lighting up, mine does that sometimes too. I believe it is the calendar or something else syncing up. I don't know why the screen needs to light when it does that, but it does. I don't think it causes any harm; it will turn itself back off pretty quickly.
As for the buzzing, that I don't know about. You could check and see whether it is set to Vibrate Always: Home screen > Menu > Settings > Sound settings > Vibrate. If it's set to Always you can change it to what you want. That still wouldn't tell you what's buzzing, but now it would give a notification tone of some kind, which could help. Of course, if it's not set to Always the mystery remains.

Problems calling image on J2ME mobile phone screen

I have an image size (160kb) of certain size and width. I am calling this image onto a mobile phone screen (j2me) and upon calling this image, I am getting OutOfMemoryException. Sometimes, I do get the partial image displayed on the phone screen.
My requirement is either reduce the size of the image or avoid the OutOfMemoryException. Does anyone has gone through the similar situation. Any ideas on how to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

Screen Lights up while I'm on a call

Why does my screen light up when I'm talking on my Iphone4? I keep muting, hanging up, putting tne person I'm speaking with on hold....this is extremely annoying and makes me regret buying this phone! Why is this happening? What should I do?

I never think of myself as suffering from the proximity sensor issue but the truth is that on the odd occasion that I don't have my bumper on my phone I do sometimes mute the call with my cheek. This never ever happens with the bumper on the phone.

Phone screen during phone calls

Hi all,
not at all happy with the v2, as seems to be the consensus around here. My old 8gb with original software performed loads better, but we all know the problems despite the great possibilities it shows.
The big problem I'm having is with the screen during calls - previously the screen would go off when it's up against my head. Sensible, right? Now, the screen stays on during calls but switches off as soon as I pull it from my ear - kind of difficult if you're trying to end a call!! Currently I have to wait for the other person to hang up or I have to be lightning quick with the finger. Is anyone else having this issue???

Two things that could be happening-
If you are using the password lock feature on the phone, that is a bug that I hope apple fixes soon. As soon as you finish the call, it locks so you can't really end the call. You have to click home, enter the password, then hit end call.
If you aren't using password lock, what is probably happening, because I do this quite a bit, is the proximity sensor is towards the top left of the phone above where the carrier is displayed. When the phone is near my ear, the sensor goes on so it goes black, you move it away, it lights back up, but if you are still on a call or the call has not hung up which is usually the case because you want to press end call and if you hold the phone with your thumb or any part of the hand anywhere near the proximity sensor, then it goes black; move your hand towards the bottom of the phone and it lights back up.
Again I think apple made a bad call on the placement of the proximity sensor. I have the same issue with how they placed the speaker location. Almost always when I'm playing a game I'll end up covering the speaker on accident blocking the sound and then having to move my hands to hear the game sound/music.

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

I have upgraded itunes on m computer to 10.5. When I connected my iphone to the computer I was told that ios 5 is ready to be downloaded, and that I should back up my iphone before doing the download. I did. Now I want to get my iphone back on and it just can't . The screen lights up, i select language and network but it tells me that my phone cannot be activated because the activation service is temporarily unavailable. what do i do?

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

I need to restore my iPhone. Once in iTunes, I get an error message asking me to use my passowrd to unlock phone. The problem is that I can't get to the password lock screen. All I can get is the iTunes screen or the emergency call only screen.

yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries

My iphone 4 screen is messed up every time i hit the power button my screen lights up blue and all but i canstilll make calls

i hit the power button on top and my screen light i just cant see my background or swipe my phone to answer cause i can not see the screen

you can try turning it off and on again, but i doubt that's gonna work, that sounds like more of a hardware issue. Your best bet may be to contact apple and seek service or replacement

There is a problem with the phone app. When I want to call somebody the phone screen come too late. This will cause a problem if I call the wrong number

There is a problem with the phone app. When I want to call somebody the phone screen come too late. This will cause a problem if I call the wrong number. Apple please please please fix it as soon as possible and also check why the phone is always restart. I prefer to let us use the iOS 7 until you finished from the IOS 8 because Ios 8 still under construction there is a tones problems in the system. And this Will cause undirect problem for the iPhone 6

There is no apple here in this user to user technical forum.
Do this Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

THE screen light of my I phone 3Gs is not on...it always off from past few days

Hey Arun1205,
That definitely sounds frustrating. We'll need to isolate this issue to figure out if it is indeed hardware:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Display has no backlight or dark screen
- Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
- Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
- While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
- If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I was on the phone tonight and had some screen issues. Here is what happened.
Received phone call, answered it normally.
Changed to speaker phone
After a bit I hit the lock botton on the top of the phone
Waited a few seconds, hit the lock button again to unlock the phone
Locked the phone, rotated it
Unlocked the phone saw some funky screen layout
Ended the call
Couldn't get the screen back to normal until I rebooted the phone. Pictures of the "funky" screen layout are attached.

That's odd I never saw that before

My phone screen no longer locks when I put my phone to my cheek when answering or making a call making it so I constantly press buttons like hold or mute or even end. I've hung up on my boss several times. How do I fix it!

Please help my figure out how to make it so that my phone screen will lock when I put it to my check. The auto black out stopped working not to long after I downloaded the ios7

Is the phone in a case? Try taking it out of the case. If that doesn't work, then your proximity sensor is broken. You'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

HT4061 Phone screen is black and will not light up

PHone screen went black no display

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still nothing, restore firmware with iTunes on computer. If still nothing, iPhone 4S has Warranty, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

Screen light auto turn dark when I use program/web with background dark in windows 8.1

Hi there,
I used HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 CTO Quad for 3 years.
CPU: Intel core i7-2630QM
GPU: AMD Radeon 6490m
It build in windows 7 and I manual install ( fresh install ) windows 8. It's fine. But when I upgrade to windows 8.1, it have an issue and I really hate it.
When I use "Sublime Text" ( with background is black ), the screen light is become darker. And when I back to ( e.g: a website with background is white ), the screen turn back to lighter.
I tried many ways, included 4 ways here but it's NOT WORK.
NOTE: When I used Option 1 ( upper )
1. Open PC settings, and click/tap on PC and devices on the left side
2. Click/tap on Power and sleep on the left side, and turn on or off Adjust my screen brightness automatically on the right side under Brightness.
==> It's NOT SHOW button "Adjust my screen brightness automatically". It mean: I have NO built in auto brightness sensor.
I think this issue is about AMD driver or Intel Graphic driver.
Is anybody have idea???

i grasp that after updating your system from Windows 8 to 8.1 you are having an issue with the display going dim.
You have tried some steps you located on the web but there was no change.
Windows 8 an 8.1 are not supported Operating Systems for your notebook. This does not mean they will not work only that HP has not tested it and therefore does not supply updated drivers. You would need to check the manufacturer's site for any updated drivers.

When I checked the driver page for your notebook I did notice there is a bios update, have you done that?
