Screen blacking out and freezing when phone is charging

I have noticed sometimes my phone is blacking out and the only way to get the screen to come back up is to remove my battery. It happens about 2 or 3 times a day. Also, when charging my phone I will press an app or phone number and it goes to a completely different app or contact. Does anyone know how to fix this?

ive had an issue similar to this. my music worked for about a month then kept freezing on me. it wouldnt go back to the main screen or anything in the music player the screen just went black and my phone completely froze. however a hard reset worked for me. when you have an issue like this that can be resolved any other way this fixes it however i would use it as a last resort as a factory direct reset erases everything even backed up information on your sd card because everything is reset to the way when you first bought it out of the store. if you think this will work for you here is the quickest and easiet way i have found to do it:
turn droid 2 off
open keyboard and press x while holding the power button
device will power on
keep holding until a yello triangle appears
press the magnifying glass on your keyboard
use the volume button to select wipe data/ factory reset
use camera key to confirm
tap wipe data/factory reset
then ok
highlight reboot system now
then ok

Snow Leopard upgrade causes screen black out and freeze

I have Mac Pro (2008) 3.1 with ATI Radeon HD 2600. During the installation of the Snol Leopard my screen went black and only switch off and on worked. After the problem happened more ofter especially when the system came back from sleep mode. Again several switch off and on helped. Later the screen went black just during normal usage. I have tried to get the screen with vnc from a laptop and it worked.
On the console I have seen windowsserver erros when the screen went black. After the screen just froze and the cursor turned to a transparent square. Whole system become unresponsive. The problem came more and more often. I was so desperate that I had to reinstall 10.5 again and I do not have the problem any longer.
Any idea what the problem can be?

HI,
Boot from your install disc and check the startup disk for errors.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
Also, run the Apple Hardware Test

Hello nattygrimm,
I was looking into the issue you are describing and found a great resource to try and fix the issue without having to re install the OS. It is an article called Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199.
I recommend starting here:
The first and easiest test to try is to see if the issue affects a different user account on your Mac. Each user account has customized preferences and other items stored in its home directory. You'll first need to create an additional user if one does not already exist (follow steps a-h below). Then, log out of the current user and test the issue in the new user account.
If this resolves the issue, there may be an issue with a file in the home directory of the original user account.
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Accounts (or choose Users if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
Click "+" (or click New User if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
Give the new user a name and short name.
Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click the Password tab, and give the user a password.
Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click Security.
Select the checkbox for "Allow user to administer this computer". This makes the user account an administrator.
Click OK, or quit System Preferences.
Work your way down the article as needed.
All the best,
Sterling

My ipod screen blacked out and wont let me see anything but it will play music

my ipod screen blacked out and wont let me see anything but it will play music. how can i fix it or cani get a new one?

- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
If not under warranty, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place might be less expensive. Here is one. Google for more.

Why does my Macbook Pro Suddenly will suddenly black out and freeze I can't do anything and I am always forced to force off my mac.

This always happens to me but recently it's happens more and more. Sometimes When I use it to game or do work or skype it will eventually black out and forze. I always have to hold my power button down to force off my Macbook pro. What is the caused of the proble and will focing off my macbook constantly spoil my mac?

In very rare cases resetting SMC has solved this problem.

Screen turns dark and freezes, when refreshing deletes written txt

Firefox should be more compatible without blaming others.
While writing this same note, or an email or text, suddenly the screen turns dark and freezes, impeding to edit or recover the work. When clicking Control Shift R , screen/server refreshes and work lost.
Kindly assist and solve this issue. I uninstall and reinstall with no avail, problem persists.

It's disturbing that you get ads just starting up the browser. Where did you download Firefox from? Unfortunately there are some unauthorized modified versions promoted in search engine results...
Some things to check:
# Home page -- [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
# Extensions (more detail below)
# Malware -- [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
# Program shortcut (more detail below)
'''''Extensions'''''
Add-ons, and particularly extensions, can override your settings in Firefox's normal dialogs. Use the Add-ons page to review and disable or remove ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click the link as the last step.
'''''Program Shortcut'''''
Not sure exactly how you do this on Windows 8.1, but on earlier versions:
right-click the shortcut you use to start Firefox > Properties > Shortcut tab
Check the "Target" line and make sure there is no URL at the end. By default, the target ends with
firefox.exe"
with no URL after it.

HT5012 Safari blacking out and exiting when trying to load up Facebook Desktop Version and other sites or actions

When I load up some sites like Facebook with the desktop version so I can have all the options that the app and mobile site doesn't have Safari blacks out and takes me to my main front page on my iPhone 4S and it also happens when I'm using some apps. Why is this? I'm upto date with iOS 7.0.4. Is there a way to stop this happening? Clearing up etc?
Thanks

I spoke to ipod tech support and was told "We do not support itunes. It is only a web based support" Which apparently does not exist.

On iPhone 4, the screen goes dark and freezes when I start Safari

All of a sudden, today I can't access the internet via Safari on my Verizon iPhone 4. If I click on a link in an email or start Safari, the screen goes dark and freezes. What's up with this and what the fix?

Hi
Try holding sleep/wake + power button for 10 seconds, until you see the Apple Logo.
See how that goes.

Screen turns white and freezes when I click on a link

also freezes when I click on the screen or try to use the right slide bar. Also getting firefox is not responding.

First, make sure that Firefox is set as the default browser. Ref: [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]] and [[Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work]]. If links in Outlook Express that should open Firefox freeze the entire computer, you could try temporarily setting Internet Explorer (or another browser) as the default (see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser#Using_Set_Program_Access_and_Defaults for one way to do that).
If clicking links in Outlook Express still freezes the computer, you should seek help in a Windows XP forum or an Outlook Express forum ... for example, I found these with a google search:
*http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-networking/outlook-express-6-causing-computer-to-freeze/75fb3e15-0934-4fb9-888b-3d82d6c7ae10

HT1455 Screen freaks out and freezes up

My ccmputer screen gets really messed up when I move windows black pixels get left where the window was and the screen gets real messed up to the point where it stops responding. I tried restarting and that worked for a while and then froze it up again. I tried starting it up in safe boot and it seemed to be working but once it got past the grey start-up screen it froze and the screen was black with random different colored pixel lights. I know that this isn't good is there anything I can do?

Take it to an Apple store and get them to check the hardware. Sounds like either your video card or monitor may be in need of repair

I am unable to take or send pictures in message. Once I hit take a picture or video my screen blacks out and I'm thrown out of the message completely. I can only send pictures from iPhoto help!!!

HHi. I'm unable to take and send pictures or videos from messaging. Screen completely turns black and I'm kicked out of messaging

Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.

My second issue popped up just a few days ago. I am unable to send a picture to anyone via email (gmail). I checked to make sure MMS is enabled (it is) and I certainly have MMS provided through Verizon.
MMS has absolutely nothing to do with email.
Is this the only email account on the device? If not, are you able to email pictures via other accounts?
Are you able to send emails with pictures attached from the gmail account on a computer?

My Mac screen blew out and is frozen

After the first few screen freezes, the screen would be pixelated and I had to unplug my computer and restart. It would turn on successfully but my whole screen would have little pixel squares. I ignored that fact and was just happy my computer turned on. Moments later, my screen blacked out and I tried to do the same thing. Only this time the screen stays on to the open apple screen with pixels everywhere.. I don't know how I can solve this problem or if it can even be solved..

I can't run the hardware test or do anything at all.. I turn my iMac on and it goes I a white screen with the apple icon and then goes to a blank white screen. I would like to get it checked out but the nearest apple retail store is 2 hours away..

my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?

I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed. So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?
