Pop battery cover off, screen fails on Treo Pro.

Second time this has happened, I apply barely enough to remove the cover and the screen fails.  Any reason why the Treo Pro would do this?  A soft reset clears it but still weird nonetheless.
When I mean fail, the entire display is blank but the keyboard responds.  Also still getting the infamous lag on bootloader problem.  Is this normal?
P.S.  The lower left corner of my LCD, about six pixels usually, turns white and has to be reset occasionally by showing a white screen for a while.
Post relates to: Treo Pro (Sprint).

I have a blank, white, empty screen and support could not tell me what's going on or what should I do. I think I got a wothless product. Throw it in the garbage and get an Iphone or a chinese phone.

  • Switch off screen while DVD Studio Pro works

    I want to encode a DVD overnight with my iMac G5 but somehow DVD Studio Pro seems to override the energy settings.
    Even though the display is set to turn off after 1 minute it doen't... ever...
    The great shortcut I have found in this forum Option Apple Eject puts the whole computer in sleep, not just the screen. At least my DVD encoding was stuck at 11% for the hour I tried this.
    The script I have found in this forum which sets energy save to 1 minute does not help either, as energy save does not work with DVD Studio Pro...
    How can I solve this problem.
    Thanks
    Whodany

    a partial fix, however, is to set the program to background encode, then i think you could just leave the program idling overnight with no problems with the power saving, and it should have encoded enouth overnight to make burning nice and quick in the morning

  • Tablet turns off when touching off screen border with cover on

    Hi, I have a 1050L with a kwmobile cover. When the cover is on, it is enough to touch the side of the cover (off screen, where you hold it with your hands) with the built-in camera and the unit shuts itsself off. I need to hit the power button to turn it back on. This is very annoying. Without the cover, the problem does not occur at all. I looked for sensor settings and such, but so far to no avail. Please anyone help so I can continue using the tablet. The problem is only on the side with the camera, the other edges I can touch and hold without problem. Thanks a lot. Gunther Schwarz

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

    Hello b.krushel,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
    Any number of things could cause this issue, so I would recommend this article named iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999.
    These sections in particular:
    General Troubleshooting
    Make sure there are no current issues listed on the System Status that affect iCloud Calendar. The System Status is located on the iCloud Support webpage.
    Make sure you have fully enabled iCloud Calendar for the client you are using (for more setup and troubleshooting information on iOS, OS X, Windows and iCloud.com, see the additional details below).
    Check to see if the issue you are seeing is covered in iCloud Help. To search iCloud Help, visit help.apple.com/icloud.
    Check your settings and preferences as something may not be set up correctly. For example, having incorrect date and time settings can cause issues which are easily resolved by entering the appropriate settings.
    Troubleshooting Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion (iCal on OS X Lion)Note: For instructions on setting up iCloud Calendar with Calendar or iCal on your Mac, see iCloud Setup.If you are having trouble with Calendar or iCal on a Mac and you are using iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
    Make sure you are using OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later. Click here for help verifying the version of OS X you are using.
    Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in iCal. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Preference pane in System Preferences. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on a Mac.
    Make sure you enter and update calendar information in the iCloud section of Calendar or iCal. Only calendars and events in the iCloud section of the Calendar or iCal Calendar list will be pushed to iCloud. Both Calendar and iCal for the Mac support the display of and interaction with multiple accounts and datastores, for example, iCloud, On My Mac, Exchange, Google, and so on. This makes it easy to create or modify events or calendars in a section of  Calendar or iCal that may not be updating iCloud. Learn more about moving local calendars to iCloud.
    In some cases, you may find that you have data duplicated in both the local On My Mac and the iCloud sections of Calendar or iCal. Learn more about resolving this issue.
    You can make the iCloud calendar your default calendar for all new events. In Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion, choose Calendar > Preferences > General, or in OS X Lion, choose iCal > Preferences > Generaland under the Default Calendar heading, select one of the Calendars under the iCloud heading. Close the Preferences window to save this change.
    If recent changes simply don't appear, try forcing Calendar or iCal to refresh by selecting Refresh All from theCalendar menu.
    Make sure your account was successfully created in Calendar on your Mac (or iCal). After upgrading to iCloud Calendar, you may need to quit and reopen Calendar (or iCal). To confirm your account is configured correctly in iCal:
    Open Calendar (or iCal).
    Open Calendar (or iCal) Preferences.
    Click Accounts. You should see an account with your iCloud member name entered.
    Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on
    Quit Calendar (or iCal).
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
    Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Calendars.
    Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
    Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
    Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
    Close System Preferences.
    Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
    If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
    If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
    Good luck

  • HT2188 I bought my iPhone 4s Nov. 20.  I updated immediately to ios6.0 and cannot make it through even 1 day without the battery going down to almost zero.  Thats with apps closed, wifi off, screen off, etc.  It's a horror.  I have to constantly keep char

    I purchased an iPhone 4s on Nov. 20th.  I immediately had to update the software to ios 6.0.1.  I cannot even get through 1 day without the phone battery losing all power.  It loses 10-20% per hour, and that's with apps closed, wifi off, bluetooth off, screen dark, updates current, etc.  You can hold the phone in your hand and watch the power go down.  It also gets very warm.  I have to charge it once or twice a day so I have it when I need it.
    I took it in to the Sprint store for diagnostics to see if there was something wrong with the phone.  They said the phone is ok, but one of the agents said it's the last update - he has had problems ever since.  He said he thought they are working on fixing it & we should be getting another update to fix it.  Is this true?  I sure hope so!  They also showed me how to reboot the phone, especially when it gets so warm.  Is there anything else I need to do?  Please help!
    This is my first iPhone and I am very frustrated and disappointed in Apple.  If it's the software, I would think they would be frantically trying to fix it.  This phone was not the cheapest phone, so the battery life should be better!

    After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery.  I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
    Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
    She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
    After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
    I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
    Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

  • My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery"  on its screen.

    Hi! My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery"  on its screen. I tried with different chargers, still dead! What's weirder is that my sister who has iPhone 4 experienced the same today! No we don't live in the same house!! Does anyone have the same problem?

    On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best." 
    My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals.  Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

  • I have had my iPhone about 1 1/2 years...with no problems. About 2 days ago my battery drained within an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it heated up so hot the temperature warning popped up on the screen. The phone will not hold a charge now.

    I have had my iPhone 4 for about 1 1/2 years, with no problems. A couple days ago the battery drained in about an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it was not charging. After a few hours a message popped up on the screen about the temperature being too hot...the phone was very hot when I picked it up. The battery will not hold a charge and it heats up every time I plug it in. Suggestions???

    Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement is $149.  It sounds like it may have gotten wet.

    After migrating to new Mac iCal pop-up screen is mostly off screen and I can't seem to find a way to get it so that it pops up in the middle of the screen or anywhere else where I can see the whole thing.

    This is a known bug which began to occur with the 10.4.8 update. I suggest you file a bug report with Apple. Its quite annoying and hopefully, the more people who contact Apple about it, the more importance they will give to fixing the problem.

  • Magic mouse battery cover comes off

    My magic mouse battery cover comes off. I have replace the mouse. Ihave taped the cover on... still comes off. What other hack is there?

    If it is still under warranty, take it back.   It may be a bad batch and I know it's a nuisance but bodging up with tape is not a solution.  And Apple needs to know their product is faulty; remember, every one returned is a loss of profit, they will learn.

  • Problem with removing Magic Mouse battery cover (Its Stuck)

    Well i just got a new Magic mouse for 1st time, cause i needed a mouse that doesn't have a usb lead which gets caught on edges or wrapped around other cables all the time for my Macbook Pro.
    The problem with this mouse is tho, rest of it is great, but the battery cover latch, won't release the actual cover off, as i was checking what kind of batteries it had. Which from what i've seen on the forums here is completely opposite to the problem that everyone else has here of it NOT staying on, or being to loose.
    Mine however is seemingly too TIGHT, or stuck on itself, and therefore won't come free.
    Being that its a brand new mouse (Got it only just today in post 15 Jan 2013), i may not be pulling the latch right or it is actually stuck.
    So i was womdering if anyone else had this problem, and has a solution? Cause even tho i won't be worried about the battery failing straight away. I will need to replace it at some point with new ones.
    Pls help, thx.

    First turn the mouse off, using the tiny slide button below the green light.
    Then sharply flick the small rectangular black button at the bottom of the plate downwards with your finger nail.   The plate should loosen and pop off.
    To replace.   Line up the black button in its rectangular hole and press the plate at point of the circular hole where the sensor shows.
    Turn on the mouse, check the green light is steady, then click the mouse twice to activate it.

  • Get an off-screen thumbnail from a webpage

    Hello everyone! This is my first post on this forums.
    I'm developing an application to get a thumbnail from a webpage, and save that thumbnail to a file. It has to be a "non-visual", off-screen appllication, because it will run on a machine with no screen. It has to render all, or almost all webpages.
    The thumbnails created by this app will be used on another app which lists links from an user, like it's shown in http://del.icio.us ; what I want is to generate these thumbnails.
    I've previously searched for a solution in this post: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=20&threadID=709683 , it is not exactly what I want. I need a real image to be generated, not only a page preview.
    I've tried to use several java-based projects founded on Internet, but I didn't success because sometimes they render ok the page (using a window), but don't paint ok to file; sometimes they paint ok to file, but doesn't render ok the page (using a window) due to poor support of current HTML and CSS standards, as they are based on JEditorPane or the project is abandoned..
    The best approach I have made is with Flying Saucer (https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/), it does exactly what I need, it has even a method to do this, but it is very rigid about standards and doesn't render "real world html". Related to this I've tried to get code from page, clean it with tagsoup and then pass the xhtml code parsed to Flying Saucer's renderer, but it still has problems rendering the majority of webpages.
    Any ideas? Anything that can put me in the right direction is welcome.
    Thanks!

    Hello 4fingers, and thank you for your answer and suggestions.
    About the first one, it's a way, I'll annotate it but the goal it's to don't depend on others, this is going to execute on an automatic process, imagine if the service fails for some reason, the service is not available or it has ended...
    About the second one, I knew existence of JRex through my search. I looked for an example and found this web: http://blogs.pathf.com/agileajax/2007/01/how_to_really_d.html , but I didn't even tried it when I read this tips that also are at that web (mainly, #1):
    There are a couple of issues that complicate matters, however:
    1. JRex just won't run in headless mode. You have to have a display. On Linux you could use VNC.
    2. With the complication of classloaders, etc., JRex won't run easily or cleanly in Tomcat, Jetty, etc. Therefore I decided to use a simple embedded web server. This of course has its downsides, as a good servlet container provides you with a number of advantages.
    3. JRex is not a pure HTML renderer -- it is an application, that pops up dialogs, responds to user events, etc. There may be a way to just use it as renderer, but that documentation thing gets in the way again. As it is now, there is no way to tell whether the rendering was successful or whether the JRex component is stuck with a modal dialog telling the nonexistent user that the server was not responding.
    4. JRex is not a real Swing/AWT component. You can't use a Graphics object to paint it to an offscreen image; all you will get is a blank page. We need to capture the part of the screen that corresponds to the browser window. That means that the browser window needs to be on top and of the size you want to image. It also means we need one display per preview server if we want to scale. (On Linux you could scale with multiple servers and multiple X displays such as VNC.)
    5. We can only handle one request at a time per preview server as we only have one screen.
    After that, the example goes into creating a JFrame, showing it on screen...
    I found on my research the #1 with, for example, JDIC Browser, which is easy to deploy but when you render the panel to a buffered image you get a beautiful black screen :D.
    Today I visited Cobra's renderer webpage, http://html.xamjwg.org/cobra.jsp, to see if they had released an update (0.97, also with a browser, "lobobrowser"), and they did, I tried it but it's the same result I got two weeks ago, it paints ok to image, but the page render it's still too bad. They are improving this as they say, so I'll keep an eye on this.
    At least this project. Cobra, and Flying Saucer, aren't dead. If I find any solution I'll post here. And as always, any ideas are welcome.
