Screen Lock Switched to Voice Activate

Somehow my screen lock has switched to voice activation and the keyboard doesn't activate. Voice activtation doesn't seem to accept anything.  I have powered down and powered up and the same thing returns.
Any suggestions?

You may need to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

  • Screen Lock button set to Mute

  • WiFi issue: Is it possible to change WiFi settings in a way that it does not switch off in the screen-lock mode?

    I have iPhone 4 and 4s. WiFi is automatically switching off on both phones when they are inactive (screens are locked). It is connecting back after some seconds I unlocke the phone. But because I have no subscribtion for the Cellular data usage, I am being cuted from Internet all screen-locked period. All that time people are not able to reach me by email, skype, or other programs using Internet. It is quite uncomfortable, especially when waiting for something important!  Is there a way to change this setting?

    The iPhone does not shut down WiFi completely when asleep. It does use a power conservation mode. You should still receive notifications. There is no setting for this. It should work for you as it does for me if you don't have a network problem.
    There are lots of problems reported with D-Link routers and they don't have a great reputation. If there is no help available from D-Link you may want to consider installing the DD-WRT firmware. It's available for the D-Link 615. See here for information: http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index
    By the way, you do have Notifications enabled for the Apps you are talking about right? See Settings -> Notifications and Mail, etc.

  • HT1212 I have no idea why suddenly my iPhone5 will not move past the Password screen; also, a voice describes each button I touch, and ends with "screen locked" (not "phone locked").

    I have no idea why my iPhone5 suddenly will not move past the PW screen; a "voice" identifies each button touched (the Slide button, for example) or the PW buttons, and then ends with "screen locked" (not phone locked).

    I believe you have Voice Over on:
    You have to tap, then double-tap to select the numbers to enter your passcode.
    Then:
    Press Home.
    Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
    Tap General. Then double-tap General.
    Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
    Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
    Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

  • I am unable to unlock my iPhone 4. When I swipe to unlock, a woman's voice comes on and says "screen locked." I am running IOS 7.1

    When I try to swipe to unlock my iPhone 4, I am unable to do so. A woman's voice comes on saying: "screen locked." I am running IOS 7.1 What could be causing this problem, please and how can I resolve it?

    Tap on the "slide to unlock" text, and after you hear the voice, double tap the text. If you have a passcode, tap the letter, wait for the voice, and double tap the letter. Repeat for each letter.
    Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver OFF. You may also be able to turn it off by triple pressing the home button.

    Hello Scorpio2013,
    There are a couple of ways to disable VoiceOver: from iTunes and directly on the device itself. I've linked an article that contains steps for getting to a point at which you can disable VoiceOver.
    iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3577
    VoiceOver
    If VoiceOver is on and you want to turn it off from the device instead of from iTunes, remember that a double-tap acts like a single tap and you need to use three fingers to scroll when VoiceOver is on:
    Press Home.
    Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
    Tap General. Then double-tap General.
    Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
    Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
    Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
    You can configure the device to display options for VoiceOver, Zoom, or White on Black when you triple-click the Home button. This feature is off by default; to enable it, tap Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.
    Cheers,
    Allen

  • My iPhone gone mad can't turn off voice control which turned on by itself now can't access phone as can't get past my screen lock! Also it keeps calling random people in my contacts help please

    iPhone 4 gone mad voice control taken over phone, can't get past my screen lock it won't  respond at all, keeps dialling random people won't do anything at all!!! Even when go on voice control screen and hold power off and home screen down nothing No response. Help please? My mother very sick in hospital and need my mobile!!

    Have you tried to power off and on?  If that doesn't work and the reset didn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes to see if it is recognized?
    If none of this works you probably need to visit an Apple genius bar and have it checked out by the techs.

  • My ipod has a black screen.  I have tried to hold the sleep/off button and menu button at the same time with no luck.   I connected to my computer and tried restore on itunes -  still with a black screen a voice said "screen locked'  code 542

    My ipod has a black screen.  I have tried to hold the sleep/off button and menu button at the same time with no luck.   I connected to my computer and tried restore on itunes -  still with a black screen a voice said "screen locked'  code 542

    Is the iPad charged?  Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.

  • E6 and screen lock + picking destination with voic...

    Hi there,
    was wondering if nokia maps available for nokia e6 would receive in the nearest future more visible buttons to press. It look like as if it was taken from smaller screens and put just there in the device. On the other hand, this problem could be solved by picking your destination with a voice command.
    As a start it would be nice even to set it manually for a favoruite location that would give a such combination "drive...wroclaw home", the device then would ask, if the location is proper (like in picking a phone number) and 'if yes' then it would lunch nokia maps with picking the best route to destination so you don't bother with buttons. Something like launching apps with command line.
    And finally a third thing. Is there a way for the nokia e6 not to have screen locked after some time? Because when I'm driving a long distance, the screen lights up for about 10 minutes, then it goes off (because there is no turn for a few km, and have the backround light set to optimised) and then, when I want to wake the screen up to see the road ahead, I see the unlock bar....very funny during a 120km/h speed.
    Maybe there is a way around to turn off pernamently the screen to lock (because the only options I see is from 1 minute to 5 minutes but no 'disabled' option).
    Please help.

    Yes, but when daily plan is that you need to go for 2 hours somwhere by car, than still make some calls, some emails and such then get back the same day you may not have the time to charge the battery.
    Don't get me wrong I know that I can plug it in into my cars socket and charge it, but then again I hate cables stretched all over the cabin. Besides I want for my navi just to support me and it is a waste of energy just to have the screen on all the time. At least for me...
    Thanks for your reply though.

  • My ipad appears frozen, voice over on, screen lock and passcode field zero values

    my ipad appears to be frozen, cannot sign in, screen blank,  voice comes on saying passcode field zero values,  screen lock, and voice over on.

    Have you tried to reset it?
    Hold down on the home and sleep/power buttons until the Apple logo shows up.
    Let the iPad reboot.
    No data should be lost.

  • XFCE - switch to US keyboard layout on screen lock

    I have a dual keyboard layout, and when xscreensaver triggers, I have no indication which language am I in. This is not a problem with gnome screen saver, but with xscreensaver that comes with xfce4 there is no indicator, which is annoying. Also, no indication that caps-lock is on, but at least this could be detected by the LED.
    I modified /usr/bin/xflock4, adding following line to beginning of the file:
    /usr/bin/setxkbmap -layout "us,ru" -option "grp:lalt_lshift_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
    it works, but only when I lock the screen using "lock screen" button on xfce panel. When screen locks up due to timeout, keyboard layout stays as-is. It looks like there is a different command being used by power manager to turn off screen. Anyone knows how to hook into this?

    More detail:  Some keys on the keyboard do work, ie: caps lock toggles the led, and the function keys across the top seem to work {that is I can adjust brightness, and so forth}
    the letter and numbers, and perhap others do not work.
