My iPhone 5s won't turn off or on it keeps flashing the apple screen on off. When I tried to connect to iTunes on windows 8 computer, it comes up with an error message: iTunes could not connect to this phone. An unknown error occurred OxE8000084

Can anyone help me? My iPhone 5s is flashing the apple screen on and off and I can turn the phone on properly or off. When I connected it to iTunes on my windows 8 computer I got the following message: iTunes could not connect to this phone. An unknown error occurred OxE8000084. Can anyone help me correct this so I can start using my phone again.

Screen turns off immediately when setting systemIdleMode to NORMAL after having been in KEEP_AWAKE

I've found a little issue in Android...
In my application I download some files the first time it's run. Since it takes a couple of minutes without user input, the screen turns off automatically. I've found some tablets not only turn off the screen but also interrupt the download altogether when going to sleep, so to avoid this I'm using this to prevent the screen from turning off (is there any other workaround to prevent downloads being interrupted by sleep?):
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode = SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE;
Of course, I've also added the WAKE_LOCK and DISABLE_KEYWARD permissions to my app descriptor, so the above code works. The problem is that I don't want the app to stay awake all the time, so after the download finishes, I'm setting the screen back to normal with:
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode = SystemIdleMode.NORMAL;
But after executing that, the screen goes off immediately, instead of waiting for a minute or so before dimming the screen. It's as if the dimming was triggered already during the download process, but didn't actually happen because of the KEEP_AWAKE setting, and then when switching to NORMAL, the screen dimming takes place immediately so it turns off.
Is this an intended behaviour or should I file a bug?
How can I manage to set the systemIdleMode to NORMAL but still have the screen on waiting a bit before going to sleep? Turning off the screen as soon as the download is finished is confusing for the user, who might think the app has frozen when it's really just in sleep mode (and the user has to unlock the screen before going back to the app).
This happens in just about any version of AIR 3.x (and probably below).
Also, it happens in iOS as well, but it's less dramatic because the screen just dims a little (app is still visible) when setting systemIdleMode to NORMAL, instead of turning off completely and locking the screen, which is the behaviour in Android.

What do you mean? That it doesn't happen in iOS 6.0 anymore? What do you mean with "me app lock"? Please, elaborate

Safari black screen and no letters when typing

I have just purchased my first iPhone, the 16 gig 3GS and having issues with it. I immediately updated the firmware to the 3.1.2 when I got home and never really played with it upon initial purchase so I do not have anything to determine what exactly is the issue. Here is are my problems...
Note: I did not back up the phone prior to updating the firmware.
Letters typed, whether in text messages, contact information, the search bar... do not show up. The cursor moves and the letters are "there", but on the screen it is still empty. I do get numbers in the keypad when dialing. Upon restoring the phone at one point, the letters started showing up, then after opening safari, they disappeared, which brings me to my next issue...
Safari and other internet browsers, they all seem to load a page, but the only thing you see is a black screen and a black scroll bar where the web page should load. I have tried two other browsers and met with the same result.
I have attempted to restore the phone on two separate computers multiple times. I deleted all back ups, redownloaded the update to make sure that nothing was corrupt, reinstalled itunes twice and hard reset the phone as well multiple times.
Still, there are no letters showing up and the browser screens remain black.
Is anyone else dealing with this issue? Any constructive advice or solving techniques would be very helpful. Being my first iphone, please be patient if I do not understand exactly what you are saying.

Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
Great to have the Video back

Touch screen problems with touch when typing

I sent my phone away to get fixed and got it back Tuesday last week. Although my phone turns back on now the other problems are still there. When I try to type other random letters will be hit all over the screen and it will keep happening until I look the screen. There are times I try to hit the back button and the screen will read it as I'm hitting the middle home button and swiping up for the Google search engine. If this happens and I try to hit back it will keep doing the same thing I just explained.
I'm really getting tired of this because when this starts happening my phone ends up becoming defective. I have already sent my phone away to get fixed twice (they ended up only turning on for a little bit at a time and then eventually not at all and the first time this happened it effected the battery life to). I'm really considering getting a phone that isn't with Sony :/

this happened to my z1 last year after using it in the pool....it took three send backs before sony actually listened to me and fixed it.i think they just test it switches on and makes calls and send the phone back.I threatened the consumer ombudsman on them finally....as my phone was no longer fit for purpose and they wouldnt give me a new one.Phone finally fixed ...and guess what this year ...one spash in pool and whole phone gone dead.I am fuming as will need to go through whole rigmarole again.keep persisting and tell them that the law says if an item is no longer fit for the purpose it was sold they have to replace it !good luck

Can you change the screen orientation in facebook when typing?

I can't figure out how to type comments/messages in landscape view as opposed to vertical view

You can't. Facebook did not choose to include that functionality in the app.

IPhone screen blinks non-stop when I turn on iCloud

May I know anyone of you who have encountered this kind of problem?
I took my phone to switch and asked the promoter to help me restore, eventually the iCloud works.
However, when I came back home and I was trying to restore my phone, the problem exists again.
May I know anyone of you who have faced this problem and any solution please?

Since this is a hardware issue, the phone has to be checked by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider.
Show them the charger and the USB cable you used.

Why is my PDF printing off center when I have the landscape box checked?

I am having some trouble with printing my pdf's. I have several PDF's that are oriented in landscape orientation. In the past, they printed normally in landscape mode or autoportrait/landscape mode. Now they print fine in autoportrait/landscape mode, but print off center when printed in landscape mode. The reason this is a problem, is I have given instructions to 100's of my buyers for printing in "landscape mode"....have heard from one buyer already today with this printing problem. I was then able to reproduce the problem on my own printer. Is this a recent Adobe update and if so will it be fixed any time soon? Or is there something I have unknowingly done to my printer setting and this buyer has done the same? Thank you in advance for your help.

This is happening when I have the "actual size" box checked (the scaling box is not checked). Also, the printable area is centered on the page in the original documents. I have printed all of these pdf's in the past with the landscape box checked and have never had this happen.

When phone screen goes off and turned on the running app closes. Why ?

When i run Here Map app and after the timeout the screen goes off and when i turn on screen back the app will be closed.Is this a problem or fire fox OS works like this ?

Are you sure, the app is closed (possibly, it is only minimized and you can access is via the application manager: http://mzl.la/1BATUYe#w_open-the-application-manager)

How can I prevent the S5's screen from coming on when charging completes?

I got my S5 today and it seems to have a "feature" that will be very damaging to the OLED display. When it's done charging, the screen comes on and stays on. I've been going through all the settings I can find and don't see anything that will prevent this. Since static images burn into OLED screens, this is the last thing I want. It's done the same thing several times. My old phone (Galaxy Nexus) didn't do this. When the Nexus finished charging, it did so with no fanfare. The screen stayed off.
When the S5 is locked and the screen is off, there's no reason for the screen to come on for anything short of a phone call. It certainly shouldn't come on and stay on just because the battery finished charging. And, any time the display does come on without user input, it should turn off again automatically if it's idle for the length of the screen timeout.
I've got "Smart stay" turned off and "Screen timeout" set to 1 minute but, after it self-activates, it stays on indefinitely. I've let it go for 20 minutes and the screen is still on. How can I fix this? If I can't get this behavior to stop, it's going back to the store. I'm not paying $600 plus tax to have my lock screen burned onto my phone because I charge it at night.

Okay I've tried safe mode. Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited. A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.
I'm not going to do a hard reset until I have confirmation that this is not normal behavior for the phone because that's going to take hours of my time and gigabytes of data transfer to get all of my media and apps back on the phone and configured.
After all my griping, I do have to give credit where it's due. This phone is much more efficient than my Galaxy Nexus. I left the S5 running in WiFi hotspot mode while on battery last night. It still had over 50% left on the battery. The Galaxy Nexus would be stone dead after about 4 hours. I can live with that if I have to but I'd really rather be able to leave it on the charger at night.

Can't type in text when turn phone landscape and screen turns off

When I turn my iphone 6 (regular not plus) sideways to type in text most of the time it won't let me type anything and sometimes the screen turns off. If I reset back to portrait a few times sometimes it will start working and sometimes I have to reboot for it to correct. Anyone alse having this issue?

I am having the same issue. It won;t let me text in landscape - but if I turn back to portrait start typing and turn back to landscape it will allow me to continue. And I am also getting the black screen occasionally as u mentioned

What's happening? Robin

Which email client are you using?

While running or when being minimized Firefox disappears off screen and off of menu bar ( bottom bar ) ??

When I am running firefox and minimize it ( or sometimes not even then ) it completely disappears off the screen and off the bottom menu bar, so it is still running but I am unable to see it or access it. If I open it again I would not have all my saved tabs, so the only way I have been able to deal with it so far is to open the task manager and ask it close firefox ( I cannot access the applications tab in task manager either ) then I have to reopen firefox. Needless to say this is annoying and a waste of time. It has happened since the upgrade, in fact, I have had several problems since the upgrade but it is mostly worked around. Since the upgrade it is much slower than before too.

No, I did not hit the x and firefox will still be running when I look up the processes on windows task manager it just is invisible and not on the menu bar. It is a weird problem I have never had happen before. Yeah, what you said about using the alt control and delete to access the task manager process is what I have had to do and I've had to end the process to close it and then open it again.
I would like to find a way to just bring it up again or not have it become invisible. In fact it is invisble on my menu bar right now even though i am typing in it and it is obviously running but the screen of it is visible while it is invisible on the menu bar this time. weird, I know.

Verizon galaxy nexus-music skips and static when screen is off..

What i do is download videos using youtube
downloader and convert them into mp3. Then i connect my phone to the laptop with
the usb cable. I open my computer-galaxy nexus-music, and i drag the saved mp3
from my laptop to my phone. When i disconnect the phone,I open the music app and
I listen to my music and it sounds fine when the screen is on. When the screen
is Off the music starts to skip a little and i hear static with or without
headphones. Now i used the same procedure when i load music from my laptop with
other mp3 devices and ipods and the music sounds good when the screen is on or
off with those devices. I downloaded a song from the android market and amazon,
stored it and downloaded to my phone for offline play and both songs stutter or
static when screen is off.

From the beginning, I wasn’t too impressed by the Galaxy Nexus. Why? It’s a Samsung. Would I purchase a Samsung for a basic phone? Sure, but when it comes to “top of the line” smart phones, Samsung wouldn’t be my first, second or even third choice. Now, don’t get me wrong, I contemplating parting with 299.99 to purchase the Nexus. The ics appeal outweigh some of my skepticism.. but before I buy a phone, I sit on review boards, cnet reviews, youtube reviews, etc. etc. In addition, it’s hard to trust a new phone of its kind. All the kinks (clearly) haven’t been ironed out. I, like Rushfan2112 went with the Rezound. And I LOVE it.
But do I think the Nexus is a “poor” phone? Na. Not by a long shot. Does VZW hinder the devices full potential? Of course – but we as Verizon customers should already know this – they proved so with the Iphones. Moreover, I’m a bit confused by the lack of update to the OS as well. This phone was specifically designed and released. It’s not as if we’re waiting for a complete OS change like HTC Rezound, Rhyme, & Motorola Bionic, 4 and Razr customers are. I understand that takes time because the OS has to be modified for each device. But the Nexus started with ICS, the ambiguity in the software updates is ridiculous….
