Screen repeatedly locking up while typing or scrolling... and other questions.

My latest problem with this phone--in addition to the many that others have already complained about--is that it will just randomly shut off while I'm in the middle of typing, or scrolling down a webpage. It'll do this repeatedly in rapid succession for a few minutes until I either get disgusted and re-boot the phone, or sometimes it will just stop on its own.
Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I am NOT referring to the "Black Screen of Death" where the screen won't respond period (though that's a frequent problem as well).
Also, is anyone else noticing that Verizon's representatives have been substantially less than helpful when asking questions about this phone? They're either completely clueless about anything to do with it, then get belligerent and nasty when you correct them (sorry, but I expect the "Smartphone Technician" to at least know the difference between a Motorola update and a Droid update), or they do the phony "we can try and troubleshoot it for you" line of nonsense.
Oh, and has anyone found a case that can accommodate the extended battery? I asked, and they said none were available yet. Good job people. Make a phone where the extended battery is necessary, make it flimsy, then don't put out a protective case for it. I'm afraid that if I drop this thing, it's going straight to the recycling plant in the sky...

Hi geek_girl_913,
Your dissatisfaction with the Bionic powering off at random times is completely understood. I have checked my resources and found that Motorola is aware of this issue, since it has been brought to their attention by our Product Support Team. There will be an update to resolve this issue. Once it is available, our customers will be notified. 
Regarding a case that covers the extended battery, this is something that is normally not offered with any phone. However, if using an extended battery, maybe a pouch would be better for you to use. Some have holsters and some do not, but there is a wide array of pouches available. This way, the phone is protected, has the extended battery, and you are still able to have easy access to it. 
You are able to view all of the pouches we have at the following link:

I hope this information is helpful. Have a good day!

  • MBP 15 non-retina 2012--Screen saver turning on while typing

    New 2012 MacBook Pro 15 (non-retina)
    While typing or doing other items the screen saver turns on briefly and then fades away.   Have reset PRAM and SMC, deleted screen saver pref. file in the library.  I have not transferd my old accounts.  Have updated all software.  Any thoughts.  BTW-- This is the second MBP '12 I have gotten.  The first crashed and died 6 hours after turning it on.  The screen went blank and 3 beeps were the only sign that it onced worked.
    Thanks

    Hmmm, today, my new non-retina MBP was behaving wierdly out in the garage, screen cycling between full brightness to very dark with a cycle of mabye 5 seconds.  Hasn't happened in the house, so I feel it is either a brightness or heat sensor issue.

  • Satellite A100-165; while typing cursor jumps to other location

    Hi,
    When i write with the keyboard sometimes the cursor jumps to another location,
    Just right now it jumped to the "subject" input of the thread.
    It's pretty random where it jumps but very annoying, i am running a Toshiba satellite a100 165;
    Anyone got any ideas what this could be?

    Hi
    I had the same issue
    I didnt notice that I touched the touchpad surface accidently while typing.
    This was the reason why the cursor jumped.
    You can disable the touchpad using the key combination FN+F9
    Furthermore the BIOS update would be advisable too.
    Bye

  • How do I go back to 3.6 from 4.0. Having problems with Wikipedia and can't work with a shorter display [half screen] good with 4.0. McAffee, Norton and other programs aren't supported on 4.0

    I need to go back to 3.6 from 4.0 Because:
    1. Norton, some Mcaffee, and other needed programs aren't supported yet.
    2. Can't downsize 4.0 to fit properly on a half screen, when using a text editor on one half and 4.0 display on the other half. I have to go to a full screen to do somethings, and then back to half screen after. Things aren't easy anymore.
    3. When moving references and extras from Wikipedia to my PC, the reference numbers and other generated items are missing on my PC. Never with 3.6
    Things are not easy going with 4.0!!!!!!!

  • Turning off search while typing in "find and replace" box

    When I hit CMD+F to do a find and replace in my spreadsheet, Numbers begins to search from the first character I type.  While this behavior is fine and in fact useful for small spreadsheets, on large spreadsheets it creates an annoying lag, and it ends up taking 10 or so seconds to type my full query (the only thing I'm really interested in) because Numbers is busy searching for all the intermediate ones.  Is it possible to turn this feature off so that Numbers will only search after I've entered the full string I'm looking for?  Thanks.

    I take care to never type command + F.
    When I want to apply some search, I trigger the Find button which give me the Find & Replace dialog which doesn't behave the way you described.

  • Stalled Scrolling and Other Problems

    Redo because not only does my thread seem to have disappeared, but also I wanted to start afresh.
    First off, are my threads even showing up anymore? Usually I get fairly prompt replies, but my last couple of threads have gotten nothing. While I am sorry if I come off as rude or demanding, and understand that there are other people needing help and you all are busy, it is rather frustrating to not get a single reply on a thread, even if that reply is "We don't know" or "we are working on this problem". It might not seem like an important problem to you, but for me it is a problem and lessens my enjoyment of the Firefox product. Plus, having questions answered grants me more knowledge of the product, and thus grants me more ability to fix problems on my own.
    Anyways, on to the issue:
    Hello, Ever since I downloaded Firefox 25, I have had an issue with scrolling. If there was some way to record this, I would, but at this time I cannot, so a description will have to do. If someone knows a way to record what is happening, I will gladly do it to make what I am saying easier to visualize.
    On some sites I visit, scrolling will be what can only be described as "choppy"- I will attempt to scroll down, but there will be a small delay before the page responds and scrolls down. Thus, the scrolling does not go smoothly. This mostly happens on sites (tumblr pages especially) with non-scrolling backgrounds (ie backgrounds that do not scroll with the page) on them.
    First off, I do not think this is a problem with any extensions, my computer, or the sites themselves. When I open the same pages in Chrome, the issue does not occur and the issue does not occur in all pages.
    I have tried clearing the cookies and cache, resetting my browser, disabling hardware acceleration, checking the plugins (problem still happened even when all plugins were disabled), updating my graphics card, and disabling website colors. The first few produced no lasting result/fix, and while disabling website colors did fix the issue, it made the rest of the site/other sites (ones that were working fine) difficult/impossible to use.
    One interesting fact of note is this: If I downgrade to Firefox 24, the issue not only disappears, but stays away, and does not occur.
    Another fact of note: I have written a previous thread on this issue, but ended up not getting an answer to a second question I had. In the first thread, I was given this possible solution, referring to a bookmarklet I could use/try: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/976244#answer-496960
    So my questions here are these: 1) What is going on in Firefox 25 that makes scrolling choppy in that version, but not in version 24 or any other browser except version 25? 2) How exactly do I use that bookmarklet I linked to? Where do I need to place it? How do I get to where I need to place it? How would it work? Is there a way to/Can someone make it into a Greasemonkey (I have Greasemonkey) userscript, if it does work?
    Also, is there a way to "bump" my thread without actually commenting on it?

  • While searching on Google and other web sites I am getting popup ads about every 5 minutes

    While using any web page I am continually being interrupted by popup ads being flashed on the screen. They can cover the whole screen and sometimes only the middle. It is very disconcerting and I am getting to the point where I will try another browser.

  • My screen remains white after the apple logo boot up and other questions?

    Does anyone know why this happens?
    After not using my Macbook Pro for awhile. whenever I'd start it up, it would boot normally (having the Bong sound and the Apple logo appear), but after that happens, the screen would remain white. I have to do a manual reset of the system during this to make it work and have the desktop appear.
    HOWEVER, when I do this, I notice it has taken me several more minutes in having the icons at the desktop (and dock) appear, like it has gotten slower. I've also noticed that my mouse would always appear at the upper left hand side of the screen, which is slightly making me worried.
    Also, when I connected two external hardrives, my screen suddenly turned blue (dark blue, not light blue). itunes was playing music when this happened and even with the blue screen, music was still playing from my Macbook Pro. Again, I had to perform a manual reset for it to work again. Does anyone have the same problem?
    It seems that my Macbook is sprouting problems one after the other.
    I'm not really familiar with computer parts, so if anyone can give me insight to any of my questions, it'd be greatly appreciated.

    Locate your original install disk (it's grey) and use it to restart your iMac by holding the "C" key during startup. Use the disk utility to repair your harddrive.

  • Locked out of J2EE Visual Admin and other  problems

    I recently tried to install some Java PDK components using the SDM tool. However it failed when trying to deploy the javadoc component. Since then the following has occurred:
    1. My enterprise portal website is unavailable (ERROR: 'Details: Web container not available!').
    2. I can't login into the J2EE admin tool (ERROR: 'the object does not exist') using either the initially reset Admin password (as part of the original install) or 'admin'.
    3. In the SAP MMC, the Server 0 instance displays yellow, with the jcontrol.exe status (under Process List) as 'some processes running' and server0 (under Process Table) status as 'starting applications'.
    4. The log file on the J2EE database is 100% (not sure if this is relevant or not).
    I've tried to undeploy the java components in case they are the cause of the above issues but get the following error in SDM:
    Info: ***** Begin of SAP J2EE Engine Online Undeployment (J2EE) *****
    No information about the J2EE engine cluster is available. The online undeployment process is continuing.
    Info: ***** End of SAP J2EE Engine Online Undeployment (J2EE) *****
    Error: Undeployment of SDA executed with errors.
    Error:  See below for details:
    Caught exception while checking the login credentials for SAP J2EE Engine. Check whether the SAP J2EE Engine is up and running. com.sap.engine.deploy.manager.DeployManagerException: ERROR: Cannot connect to Host: [server] with user name: [Administrator]
    Check your login information.
    Exception is:

    (message ID: com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.extern.EngineAppOnlineUndeployerImpl.checkLoginCredentials.DMEXC)
    Error: Result: error
    In summary, assuming the new java components broke the EP and J2EE I can't undeploy them (because J2EE is broken) in order to fix J2EE. Damned if I do and damned if I don't.
    Does anyone know why I can't login to J2EE VA, why the J2EE server only partials starts up, why the EP is not working, or how I can truncate the database log file?
    I'm running EP 6.4 SP9 on W2K3.

  • My i phone 4 screen went completely black and screen will not work but i can screenshot and other buttons vibrate and make a sound the screen just dosent respond.

    my home button was not working and I was in my settings looking for the advert touch or whatever it is called and my phone went completely black. al the buttons worked such as screen shotting (it made the sound) and turning on my ringer, the screen just didn't respond. I left it alone and plugged in over night and it hasn't done anything different. I also plugged it into my computer and it still did nothing. what can I do to resolve this problem?

    Try a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

  • Green Screen Camera Settings and other questions...

    Hoping you guys can help me out :-)
    I have a Sony AX2000 HD camera and am a wanna-be pro.  I've been trying to perfect my green screen operation.  I think I have the lighting down and can play around with PE8 green screen or chroma key effect to my satisfaction.  My problem is that I am very dissatisfied with the video quality.  I'm shooting at full HD 1920x1080 resolution, and although the AVCHD video that my camera creates is awesome, when I create my final product, the video is awful.
    This project is for online viewing mostly, although I need to provide DVD's too.  I do not need HD, but assumed shooting in HD and reducing it down MUST be better than shooting in standard DV mode.  I guess I assumed wrong?  (Just been reading this - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/593946?tstart=0)
    I'm also wondering about my camera settings.  I had everything on auto, but I read somewhere using the manual focus, and turning down the gain helps - especially with the first problem I had which was noise.  Actually, I improved this some with lighting, but blacks in particular seemed "noiser" than I found acceptable...
    The other problem I have is fast movement.  If my subject is throwing their arms around at any decent pace, even creating a high definition MPEG give me some terrible motion blur...  then I realized even just creating a HD MPEG of the original video without the chromakey effect gives me sub standard quality, compared to the original AVCHD file.  After searching this forum, I think I might have found the problem.  I need to check my project settings to make sure they match the source files...  I'll post again once I've tried this and let you guys know if it works...
    Any other tips/thoughts out there?

    OK - I discovered today that I was in fact using the wrong presets in Premier Elements.  Rectifying that little detail gave me MUCH improved ouput - both for the MPEGS and even the standard DVD (although it still has the "home made" look to it rather than the TV clarity I would expect, it's a million times better than what I had).
    Now I understand the basics of presets, I also discovered I wasn't using the best my camera had to offer either.  I had it set to HD 1080 60i HQ – I found out the HQ translates to approx 9mbps (when this can be increased to 24mbps by using the FX option) -  also the HQ was also giving me 1440x1080 resolution (when the FX could take me up to 1920x1080).  So, I'm hoping for even better results tomorrow.
    So, here are todays questions:
    1.) The 60i part of the preset.  Presumably the higher the frame rate the better, but how about the progressive v. interlacing - ie. is one better than the other for chroma key?  Or does the fact that I'm going to be using this for web viewing (F4V format) and DVD's affect this decision?
    2.) I took Steve's advice and downloaded Premier Pro.  Immediately I came up against a problem.  It seems like I don't have a suitable preset to choose.  Further, when I tried to import my files directly from the camera's memory stick, it said they weren't supported.  Adobe say the trial version is without limits, so any idea what the problem is here?
