Talking at night - phone randomly lighting up all the time

I think this is an issue with the proximity sensor, but this is making me crazy.
When I talk on my phone at night, the face of the phone is constantly lighting up and then going black, then lighting back up, and I dont feel like I'm moving the phone very far away from my head.
Is there a way to just turn off the screen/deactivate so it can't light up at night?

I had a faulty proximity sensor on the iPhone 4- never worked at all, extremely annoying. I took it to the Apple store and they replaced the phone no problem. Have not had any problems with the replacement phone.

I have a Galaxy S3 and love this phone but here at my new home which has absolutely no trees of bushes blocking anything, my phone calls are dropped ALL THE TIME and it's driving me crazy. Verizon finally said that they would come out and boost the signal but haven't seen anyone in two weeks. I have called Verizon tech help for one year to get help with this, either trade phone or something. I am so frustrated! I picked Verizon for the clear calls and coverage inside hospitals and buildings but it's been terrible. I have had three of these phones replaced. I need a different model like the S4 or the S5 I think cause it's something in this model.

Verizon is quickly becoming the worst cell phone company out there. To read all of these pleas from your loyal customers is just so sad and pitiful. You need to be sued for your data overage charges that you are intentionally imploding on your customers. They have pleaded, very intelligently, with you to do something to fix the issue and you willingly have NOT. As is with my reception issue that I was promised a signal booster for two months ago, so is this issue with the data. You don't follow up and solve the issues. Therefore the courts will find you fraudulent. When I was promised by your super tech that I needed a signal booster and he was sending it out overnight at no charge to me, I was relieved that it would finally be taken care of so I wouldn't lose faith with Verizon. Well, that was two months ago now with no record of it ever being ordered or on my file anywhere. I have since called three more times with hours of conversations about that issue and two more techs have told me they were sending me a signal booster with no follow up what so ever. WOW! That's pitiful! You may not care now, oh but you will later when you lose lots of money and business.

BB Curve 8900 died and will not turn on with the red lights on all the time

Hey all
The Blackberry Curve 8900 I have battery completely drained yesterday afternoon and I could not connect it to a charger until I get back home last night. I plugged the phone in around 11:00 , and even now 8 in the morning still wont be able to switch it on and the red light is on all the time.
Its a brand new one, I dont know what should I do to make it working.
Thanks for all your help!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Typically, these batteries do not like to be fully drained...while rare, it has been known to render the battery useless. But, before you jump to that, there are a few diagnostic steps you can take.
Get a known good and fully charged battery -- put in in your BB. See if it works. See if you can charge.
Get a known good other charger, attach it to your BB, see if it charges.
Try a different power outlet.
Give your battery to someone with the same model BB that they know charges fine. See if they can charge it.
The results of these steps will guide you to the root cause...which could be your battery, your BB, your charger, or the wall outlet you were using.
Good luck!

Is it better to turn off iPhone at night, or just leave on all the time?

This has often been asked of computers as well - Is it generally thought better to turn the iphone off at night and charge it (if needed) or just let it stay in standby mode all the time and plug in to charge when needed. In other words, just leave it on all the time and sleep when not in use (like my MBP), or on/off, on/off, on/off, etc...

I'd leave it on. I would however shut down and restart the phone once a week or so. Not that it will do anything (i don't think)... but it may keep your phone healthy if there are any bugs in memory.

Switch panel lights on all the time after keyboard replacement

I replaced the keyboard on my DV6000, now the keyboard works fine....but the blue lights on the switch panel are on all the time whether the machine is powered up or not. I re-connected everything per the service manual instructions, and have now triple checked my work....help!
Just as an FYI, I have 2 DV6000's, and just today replaced the trackpad on the other one, and now have the same issue with that one!!!!!
What gives?
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
John

Seriously? No one has experienced this issue?
Anyone from HP out there care to help me out?

Green webcam light on all the time

pascalg,
The light will be ON all the time. It's a indication of the WebCam receiving power from the USB port.

6822 number pad lights on all the time

On the front number pad of my 6822 are two vertical bars. These stay lit up all the time which is killing the battery life. Its only recently started and I think maybe as a result of a mate putting in a keycode.
Can you help please
Thanks

uhh… k, now you’ve got another problem before you can solve that continuing lights problem, and that is, how we are going to force your mate to give you the keycode…
hmmm… you may need another website for this since you’ll be needing torturing technique…
...but for the mean time, you can try to reformat your mobile using code… sorry don’t know the code for formatting 6822 model but I guess you can do a little research on that… (remember: to back-up all your data specifically your contact when you do the formatting)…
...and then I’ll update you once I found website for torturing mate…

HT4528 My phone says its charging all the time but wont turn on

My phone says its charging but wont turn I have it plugged in all day long and it just continues to show the low battery on the front! About every 6hours it will turn on for 5 minutes then shut right back off! Idk what's going on please help! All the support things on here want my serial number but obviously I cant get to it since my phone wont turn on!!

Hello Monica121,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the phone will not boot or load up even after being given sufficient time to charge.
I had a couple of recommendations for this issue:
First reset the device with this procedure.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists after that, then I would try these steps from the iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting article found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.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.
Cheers,
Sterling

Problem with led lights. power light off and battey light on all the time

I have a lenovo IdeaPad U310 Touch model 20222. Runs with Windows 8.
I had this laptop for just 7 months and I've been having some problems with the led lights.
The battery light is always ON (white light) even when the laptop is shutted down (start-power-shut down). Is not plugged in to the wall and still on.
The power light is always OFF (no light), even when the laptop is on and running.
how can i solve this?

can you tell me when the issue started to persist?
since you got it or after using for couple of months?

Phone Iphone turns off all the time

My phone will shut down in the middle of doing something (not using an app). Then say there is no battery life left when plugging it in it goes right to half life of battery. My battery always dies quickly there are no apps running in the back ground. The phone is 7 months old.

Make an appointment and bring it to an Apple Store since it's under warranty and let them have look at it. (Do a backup first before you go)

Power Light on all the time...

Today while changing out my video card, I dropped the screw down inside the computer. Being unable to get at it, or find it, I took the computer to the Genius Bar. The fella there said 'I doubt it will cause any harm' and proceeds to just plug it in, before I could say to him 'wait, I'm concerened that if that screw is touching METAL under there, it can fry something, and that's why I brought it in, instead of just turning it on myself'.
So he plugs it in, and the power light comes up immediately. Hmm. Strange. I assure him, the computer was working fine as I shut it down to install the card.
So now the computer is dead (and I'm convinved he turned it on, that screw somewhere in there fried something). So I'm pretty upset, this guy seemed completely incompetent. I should have just disassembled it all myself I guess, but made me nervous.
So has anyone seen that, the power light just comes on when you plug it in, no fans turn on, no other lights on the motherboard come on.
So he's thinking either MLB or power supply, and I beg him to order both, since it could be either one. They won't because they can only order one part at a time, if it's not that, then they'll order the other part. I'm furious, this is ridiculous...
Genius my but.

The power supply is pretty much sealed, so I doubt any screw could get in there. Can you hear anything moving around in it when you pick it up and shake it? Try reseting your PMU.

Phone forgets wifi creds all the time

Hi y'all,
This is not as much a real problem as it is just me off- anyhow, my phone forgets all wifi connections meaning that i need to log myself in every time i get home/to work/to campus. This issue is far more annoying because not a single person in Germany changes their factory WEP... But still I would like to see a solution of some kind.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Sorry to hear that you have issues with WiFi.
I've also seen a few cases where a restored Google backup (which contains saved WiFi networks) have caused this issue. Have you used your Google account in another device before your Z1 Compact? You can check this under "Android" on https://www.google.com/settings/dashboard

I phone 4s turn off all the times.

when click one icon,iphone 4s town off,and there is no any chance to turn on,restore is not working.some friends tell me because of some softwares.i have undownloaded all them.bur still not working.what am i gonna do?SOS

Restore as a NEW device (not from backup). If your problem persists without adding any 3rd party apps, then you have a hardware malfunction and you'll have to bring your phone into Apple.

My C5500 keeps on saying to turn off and lights flash all the time

Hi, My C5500 printer keeps saying to turn off power and lights are blinking? Should I uninstall and re install? What happens to info already on the computer?
Thanks,
T

Hi Tinkerbelll,
I understand that you are having an issue with the printer. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. In this document for 'Turn Power Off then On' Message Displays on the Control Panel there are steps to clear this error.
Let me know if this helped or if you need further assistance.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.
