Stuck in the Desk Cradle mode

My samsung fascinate seems to be stuck in the Desk Cradle app. Or
more precisely, when I hit the Home soft key, it takes me to the Desk Cradle,
rather than the page with all my widgets like it used to do. If I hit the soft
key that take you back a step, it does take me back to my true home page. The
display is also stuck in the rotated position.
I've tried pulling the battery, no help. The phone will not even turn on unless
it is plugged in.
Anybody know how to fix this?

Hi Shteeve,
Thanks to the Community Members who responded. I would like to add some additional troubleshooting steps, since you have already tried a soft reset. I would recommend a master reset of the device.
***Important***This setting erases all data from your phone, including your Google or other email account settings, system and application data and settings, and downloaded applications. It will not erase current system software and bundled applications stored on an optional installed memory card, such as music or photos. For this reason, please ensure the data on your device is backed up before performing the master reset.
Below are the steps on how to perform the master reset on the Fascinate.
Select Menu
Select Settings
Select Privacy
Select Factory Data Reset
Please let us know if this corrected the issue for you. Have a great day!

I'am stuck in the brand new mode after trying to restore it, what do i do?

I deleted my photos and i cloud backed up before i did it. I was going to restore it then transfer my items back into my phone when my computer mest up. Now my iphone is stuck in the brand new mode, can anyone help?

When you're at the activation screen, you can choose to not restore from anything, or restore from iTunes/iCloud. Don't select iTunes or iCloud when you get to that screen, just keep setting it up as a new phone. If your information is erased, then restore it from whichever method you want.

HT4623 My iPad is stuck in the head phone mode, how do I reverse this

My iPad is stuck in the head phone mode, how do I reverse this?. I have reset to manufacturer mode, I have slid the side button, the button is on lock rotation, I have cleaned the headphone hole . Nothing seems to work.

I had the same problem. My power cord got disconnected and the IPad just froze on this 1 screen. What worked for me is holding down both the POWER and the HOME buttons at the same time until the IPad dies, or goes back to home screen (i guess). Mine died. But thats because i had not charged it.
Anyways! Hope this helps anyone with the same problem!
God Bless,

IOS 5.1 update bricked my wife's iPhone 4S. Updated my iPhone 4 first without incident, but when I went to update her phone, the update wiped her phone clean and is stuck in the restore/update mode. Her phone is now useless. Updated to latest itunes.

iOS 5.1 also bricked her iPod Touch, despite my having no problem updating mine.

I thought that I had bricked my phone as well when I upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 5.1 but I just fixed it last night after 3 hours of trying everything. My phone was stuck in recovery mode and had the icon telling me to plug it into iTunes, but iTunes didn't recognize my phone at all. I tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but still nothing worked. I tried changing the USB port that I plugged my iPhone into and THAT is what worked. I have no idea why, but my computer finally recognized my phone, but had to be restored. Luckily I had a very recent backup so restoring it wasn't so painful.
Try changing the USB port where you plug in your phone on your computer; hopefully that works for you!

Hello Edward
Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

When viewing a you tube video on Firefox in the desk top mode there was a gear to regulate the video speed. Why did this gear disappear?

I am using a Samsung Galaxy 4 pad and need to slow down youtube videos to learn dance steps and now can no longer use it on html5 videos. What happened?

Hi Deeschlet,
I have tested the HTML5 video player in desktop mode in Firefox and I also do not have this feature. What version of Firefox did you see this feature in?
If I long tap on the player it will ask to show controls. Then long tapping again there is Play, Pause, Save Video, Full Screen and Mute.
Was there an add on that you used this with in the past?

My phone is stuck in the 'Restore Needed' mode. Can use some help?

Its been doing this a couple days now. But this time im totally dumbfounded. Its stuck with that little message and a usb plug graphic in the background. Im stuck.

There is no way out.
Restart the restore procedure and make sure you are connected to the wall power adapter and have Internet connection.
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
At the end it will ask whether you want to restore, choose iCloud backup.

HT1766 My Iphone 4s dont open up after i switched off it. when i open it it is stuck in the apple logo mode. I cannot switch it on again. is their any way to backup my photos since i cannot switch on my phone?

My iphone 4s dont open up after I switch off it. When I click the switch on button it blinks the apple logo in the black background. Is there anyway that i can backup my photos since I cannot open my phone?

Hello Ganewee,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It is certainly impossible to use your iPhone if it won't power on. I found some steps that can help with an issue like this:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
You can find the full article here:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
If you get to step 6 where you have to restore your iPhone and your iPhone is recognized in iTunes, I would try backing it up before going through the restore. You can find steps to backup your iPhone here:

My camera is stuck on the time-elapse mode. how do i move to photo?

my iphone 5s camera is stuck on time-elapse. how can i move to photo?

Great question, revbeck! I can help you get your camera back to normal.
While in the camera, there is a line with your camera setting. Currently, it is showing Time-Lapse. However, you can scroll to the side, or press the option to the right, and continue going to the right until you get back to Photo. Please keep us posted, and confirm that you are able to adjust your settings accordingly!

Desk cradle problems and speaker (sound) problems

I have a droid charge and sometimes when I am using my phone it goes to the desk cradle by itself also within the past 2 days my phone won't make any sound unless I have my headphones in

Hi jaw143mpj,
We definitely want to make sure your phone works the right way for you. In regards to the audio trouble, it sounds like there may be debris in the headset jack causing the audio to work without the headset. I encourage you to test any sound or music with the headset on and while the music is playing remove the headset and verify if any audio is present. I recommend if no sound is heard to check the headset jack and verify it appears in good condition and no debris is present.
Have you found that the cradle mode is activated when using a specific app or a specific service on the device? I recommend running the device in safe mode http://bit.ly/n2EIBZ for 24 hours and verify if it doesn't occur. Please keep us posted.
Thank you,

IPhone stuck in connect to iTunes mode after restore

I attempted to jailbreak my original iPhone with software 3.1.3 using Spirit. This process failed, and I decided to restore it. After the restore was installed, the phone rebooted, and attempted to access the iTunes Store. However, it cannot reach the store, and I get a window saying error -9813 occurred. My phone is stuck in the emergency call mode now, and any help would be much appreciated! I am running iTunes 8.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.4 (outdated, I know, though if I must upgrade iTunes/the OS itself in order to get my phone to work again, I will). Thanks
Edit: also, I can log in to my iTunes account and browse the iTunes store itself without any problem. The issue is that I can't access the iPhone activation screen.

Never mind, the problem seemed to resolve itself. I guess the issue here was on Apple's/AT&T's end and not mine, which I was concerned was the case. The phone successfully connected to the iPhone server, and then proceeded to copy data from a previous backup of mine.

Desk cradle

If I use desk cradle with a charger stand will the display stay on all of the time?
I hope so as I want to have a clcok beside my bed when I travel. (My Itouch does this).

It does with the car dock so I would assume the cradle would work the same way. The only issue I have found is that the battery really doesn't charge with the display on....not that it's not capable of it, it just seems the display consumes alot of power so the battery never really has an opportunity to charge.
What is the difference between the desk cradle (or car dock) and having a usb power only or a plain usb connected?
Power only the screen times out and usb connected to my pc the screen times out.

Ipod is stuck in apple boot up mode please help!

My son was trying to erase his content on this old ipod touch and it is now stuck in the boot up mode. If we try to reset by holding sleep/hold buttons it will look like it is trying to boot up and then spinning gear will stop. Then later it will restart again but nothing ever happens. This has gone on for over 5 hours. Tried hooking it up to computer to restore thru iTunes but would not recognize ipod. Any way to fix. Would really like to get this working so I can use it.
