Samsung Reality acting crazy...

I have the Samsung Reality and just the other day it started acting up.  First it was stuck in landscape mode on the screen then this morning it just kept switching between landscape and portrait mode on the screen and when you hit the lock button it would lock then cut back on then the lock screen would go away and it would go back to switching modes again.  Eventually it just got stuck on the lock screen and you couldn't go anything.  The touch screen wouldn't work and the buttons wouldn't work, so I had to take the battery out to turn it off.  Has anyone else had the problem or doesn't anyone have any suggestions?

Hi stbishop622,
Currently we have no reported issues.  I would suggest resetting your phone by going to Menu>Settings&Tools>Phone Settings>Scroll to & press Security>Enter the last 4 digits of your number as the lock code>Press Done>Reset Settings>Yes. Keep in mind this does not t erase user data such as pictures, videos, music, messages, contacts or downloaded applications stored on the phone.  Please let me know if your require further assistance.
Thank you for being apart of our community forums,

  • Back up contacts from Samsung Reality to Droid 2X

    I went on backup assistant and kept getting Flash errors. I have a Samsung Reality and I am upgrading to a Droid 2x in the next day or so. I wanted to back up my contacts but the FAQ on that subject don't seem to apply to me or the SR - (downloading the BA software). I went through all the steps but when it came to download or purchase the app, the Flash allow dialog pop up froze. Tried it three times. 
    I have a good data plan with the SR - so can I back up contacts or will I have to manually re-enter in the Droid?

    Nevermind! I figured it out!

  • Ipad 3 acting crazy, doing things on it's own without touchng it.

    My friend's ipad 3 with retina display 32GB  is acting crazy. It switches between apps, closes/ opens apps, types, scrols, goes to home/ search and ...... by itself without even touching it. You can't think of using the ipad like this. It happens when you are using the ipad. It lasts from 10 secs to about 1-2 minutes or whatever. If you leave it for a while, it becomes normal ( you can use it) but after a while it starts acting weird again. We already restored it to latest frimware but no luck. Seems like a hardware problem to me. He said it used to become hot in the back while using it and playing heavey games(size of around 1GB). It is out of warranty now.
    Any one having same issues?
    Here's a short video clip i caught it acting crazy.

    thanks

    Take it to an Apple Store and ask them to diagnose it, there is nothing else that you can do if you already restored the iOS software, unless you didn't restore as a new device. If you didn't do that, give it a try, if that fails, make an appointment an an Apple Store Genius Bar,

  • Macbook pro 2010...cursor is acting crazy jumping everywhere and responding very slow...thought it was the track pad but I plugged in a mouse and it still does the same thing...is this a virus?..and can someone please help?...

    My Macbook pro is acting Crazy....the Cursor just keeps on jumping everywhere and not responding when I use the trackpad....Even when it does respond it is very slow...I thought it was the trackpad acting up but realized it wasnt when i plugged in a mouse and it still did the same thing...this happened one other time and shortly after my computer froze...I had to restart for it to work but restarting dosent help this time...can someone please help?...Is this a Virus?

    It is not a virus.  See my Mac Virus Guide*.
    As to what it might be, that's hard to say.  You should try some basic troubleshooting...  Repair the hard drive with disk utility.  Boot in safe mode and see if it happens then, log in to a different user account and see if it happens there, reboot from another system and see if it happens.
    Apparently some people have had this kind of problem caused by swelling batteries that push on the underside of the trackpad and cause all kinds of strange problems.  Is your machine's underside deformed at all?

  • Early termination fee for Samsung Reality?

    We have a family plan and want to switch to sprint. I need to know the early termination fees. 1 phone is a samsung reality. The second phone use to be a samsung reality but was recently broke and switched to a motorola Razor (not sure if we would pay the smartphone termination fee or regular phone termination fee). both have served 16 months of their 24 month term. any info would help greatly. Thanks!

    Thank you budone for your response. I appreciate your help.
    @Smartsie,
    I'm sorry to hear you are considering going to Sprint. If you are still under contract the amount would depend on how much of the contract you have completed and the device you originally upgraded to when you renewed your contract. Without taking a look at your account I am unable to provide the exact early termination fee amount. 
    Please send me a private message if you would like to discuss your account. I'll be more than happy to assist you.

  • Content filters on samsung reality--not available?

    was trying to set up content filters for my kids on a samsung reality.  i was told that it would not work on that phone and the phone would need to be upgraded to be able to use.  The two other phones on the family plan are balckberries and content filters are available.  WHy can't i use these filters on the reality?

    You might be referring to our DLP (Data Loss Prevention) seen on 6.0 and above. Below is a clip from our User Guide, you can search for that section to see if it fits your needs.
    DATA SECURITY AND EXTERNAL DLP POLICIES OVERVIEW
    In the Information Age, your organization’s data is one of its most prized possessions. Your
    organization spends a lot of money making data available to your employees, customers, and
    partners. Data is always on the move by traveling over the web and email. This increased
    access poses challenges for information security professionals to figure out how to prevent the
    malicious, accidental, or unintentional loss of sensitive and proprietary information.
    The IronPort Web Security appliance secures your data by providing the following
    capabilities:
    • IronPort Data Security Filters. The IronPort Data Security Filters on the Web Security
    appliance evaluate data leaving the network over HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP to control what
    data goes where and how and by whom.
    • Third party data loss prevention (DLP) integration. The Web Security appliance integrates
    with leading third party content-aware DLP systems that identify and protect sensitive
    data. The Web Proxy uses the Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) which is a
    lightweight HTTP based protocol that allows proxy servers to offload content scanning to
    external systems. By offloading the content scanning to dedicated external systems, the
    Web Proxy can take advantage of the deep content scanning in other products while
    being free to perform other Web Proxy functions with minimal performance impact.

  • [SOLVED]Mouse and keyboard acting crazy. I have to restart gdm via ssh

    Here's the output from dmesg after boot.
    http://pastebay.com/14045
    Basically, I'm getting errors from my USB mouse and keyboard.  If I wait long enough udev will find them and they'll start working.  GDM starts too fast so Xorg is stuck without keyboard and mouse.  I had to ssh and restart GDM then mouse and keyboard worked.  For the meantime I've disabled gdm in rc.conf. 
    I usually see these messages from devices that are drawing too much power from the USB power bus.
    These devices work fine in the Win32 and OSX installs on the same hardware.
    thanks ya'll

    Well, my media card reader, an internally mounted one, decided to act crazy. Unplugging it from the mobo seemed to fix it.  wonder what happened, it's only 3 months old and has no moving parts

  • My mail application is acting crazy.

    When I try to delete messages it tells me they can not be moved to the trash because an item is there already there
    or it quits unexpectedly.
    “37900.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists.

    Exactly.
    That is why I say it is acting crazy.
    When I attempt to delete from any inbox accross all accounts
    it gives the same error code.
    Wether I highlight drag and drop, right click delete, or move manually one by one to trash.

  • MAIL acting crazy

    [ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator; Please start a new topic about your technical issue. ]
    In the last several days, MAIL app. has been acting crazy ! Duplicating messages, re-marking read as unread, destroying attachments . . . It seems that others are having similar experiences during the last week or so. What is going on ? Is there an "insider knowledge" available ?

    Good to know that I am not alone!!
    In my case, after I have deleted some messages, in a few minutes, the deleted messages came back and shown as NEW MESSAGES!
    This is driving me crazy as I have to repeatedly delete messages again and again and again and ....
    Yes, this all happens a couple of weeks ago...
    I thought that because I have so many messages in my folders so I deleted some messages but that didn't help.
    Apple tech: Pls take a look at this problem. It is very annoying to say the least.

  • Is Samsung Reality a non data plan phone?

    Do I need to have a data plan for this phone? Im changing phones and I need a phone that doesn't need a data plan, or I high priced data plan.  I was looking at Samsung Reality.  Also looking at LG Chocolate..  I have an LG Ally and its going be hard to down grade I love my android phone. 
    Can some one give me some advice on a phone?

     Hello JHeinick23,
    Welcome to the community, I apologize for the delayed response.  While the Ally gives you a great Android experience, I understand the need to reduce costs.  I can confirm that these days the Samsung Reality is still considered a 3G multimedia device.  The data options you would have for this phone range $10 for 75MB this includes VZnavigator, a $9.99/month value, Mobile Email, a $5 value and even a subscription for Ringback tones a $0.99 value! $29.99 would allow you unlimited data usage and includes Mobile Email.  Depending on the date of original activation on the network the Reality may be able to be activated with 1.99/MB option. The original LG Chocolate would not require an additional data plan. $1.99/MB would be the pay as you go rate.  You certainly have the other plans to choose from as well.  Also consider the current data plan you have with your Smartphone, if you keep it active you will have the option to keep what you have as you upgrade to another Smartphone. If you are interested in our current line-up of great devices and reviewing your data options, your account at My Verizon is a great resource.  Its always best to make the decision that's right for your usage.

    my iphone is acting crazy plz help asap my phone is giving reading me everything i lay my hand on and is not letting me scroll down or select anything i must have accidentally switched some voice thing on plz help me close it:(

    First off, try triple clicking the home button.
    To scroll use three fingers and I think you have to double tap to get into something.
    Go to Settings>General>Accessability>Voiceover and then turn that off.
    Hope that sorts it for you
