Texts only come through while making a call

This just started yesterday. As soon as I initiate a phone call, text notification appears and I'm able to retrieve the messages. Without initiating a call I don't receive any notification. I have done two hard resets, several soft resets and even a recovery. Still have the same problem. Tech support was unable to help much until I can call from another line. Anybody else having same issues?

I just bought the phone yesterday and have noticed the same issue. The verizon guy i just spoke to said that needed to be fixed, so he transferred me to Samsung tech support. I'm waiting for them to pick up . . .
Okay, spoke to a very nice person who concluded that this was not an option that could be adjusted. The light apparently stays on for about 6 secs.
I was hoping it could be changed, so that's disappointing, but the reason it goes dark makes a lot of sense: it keeps you from hitting buttons accidentally while you're on the phone, so you can hold the phone in your hand, to your ear, etc. without worrying about activating something unintentionally. Also saves battery.
Hope this was helpful.

Why is my backlight display lit for only 5 seconds while making a call (Brightside phone)

When I go to settings, I see that it is set for 2 minutes and indeed it does stay lit for that amount of time if I am not making a call, but as soon as I dial a phone number and especially when I get into an automated menu system where I need to press 1 to get to a different menu and then other numbers to finally get to talk to someone, the display goes black. I have tried swiping the screen which does not help. The only thing that I can do is press the curly arrow that points to the left to have the display light come back on for another 4 seconds, then press the button called keypad and hurry and press a number to continue with the menu system.
I talked with Verizon and was told can do a complete reset, but I don't want to lose my contacts. I went to backup assistant online but keep getting the arrows that go around and around forever and won't let me see if they are backed up. I want to view my contacts online and I want to print them. What's wrong with that site?
I will say this. Do not buy the Brightside phone. It is not a smart phone. It's a touch phone and when you touch anything, things come on like the camera or makes calls to my favorite contacts. sheesh! I can't wait until our contract with Verizon is over with.

While iPhone 5 is locked my texts and calls only come through intermittently

So, this has been happening to me for almost a year now, I have been through everything to try and fix it, I am about to upgrade to the soon to be announced iPhone 6 but I would like an answer on it at least.
While my iPhone is locked I do not receive calls or texts, now this doesn't happen 100% of the time but probably about 80% of the time. I have had my phone replaced, my sim card replaced, restored my iPhone and been through countless hours with my network provider to try and resolve this, still to this day it happens.
Anyone have the same issue? And please don't say it it DND (Do Not Disturb) because it is not, I have literally tried everything I can think of, I am also a technical analyst by trade so I have not been naive about trying to sort this out.
To add, I live in London and it happens everywhere, it is not only happening in a certain area.
Please someone help.

I'm talking about the notifications in the lock screen, yes. However, I have the 'View in Lock Screen' option on for all email accounts and it has always been this way, it's just that in the past few days this hasn't been functioning as intended. Now emails only come through once the phone is unlocked, which is annoying as I now have to manually check my mail, meaning that I may miss important emails.
With the calls, it's happened 100% of the time, again over the past few days, all in the same location which I have never had issues with.
Because both of these issues have arrised recently, I feel like it might be an issue with the hardware?

Issue while making a call through Nokia lumia 510

Hi, i have purchased nokia lumia 510 around five months back. since then this phone is troubling me in a way or other. earlier there were issues with internet connectivity when i rectified it now there comes a new problem which occurs while making a call. whenever i make a call or receive a call after a few minutes i am unable to get the voice of the person on another side nor the other persons gets my voice. sometimes this happens just after 30-40 seconds and sometimes it happens after 15-16 minutes. then i have to cut the call in between and again have to call that person. this issue comes everytime i make or receive a call. i am so much irritated of this now. i even went to nokia care and they have replaced the speaker of the phone but this issue has not been resolved. can someone please help me to resolve this. please i need a permanent solution of this now.

Have you tried replacing your sim card?
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Emails and calls only come through when my iPhone is unlocked?

Emails suddenly only seem to be coming through once I have entered my lock screen password and unlocked the phone, whereas previously they were being pushed to the lock screen as normal. I am connected to Wi-Fi constantly with a strong connection (all 3 bars).
Also, when someone tried to call me recently, the call kept going straight to my voicemail, despite the fact that I had full/almost full signal (4 or 5 bars).
I have an iPhone 4 running the latest version of iOS and have not changed any settings recently that would affect the behavior of either of these features. The device is in full working order.
Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks.

Problem with audio while making a call

I have a model 9810,
I can hear no audio while making a call at all, however, while making the call if I press the speaker tab I can hear (as like a hands free made)
I do not use a head set or in car kit, I just use it as a handset.
All other audio is OK, I can hear the alerts as a call or text comes in, but as soon as I answer the call and place it near my ear I hear nothing
Can someone please help
Thank you

I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

Hi folks,
i have an apple IPhone4. I am experiencing certain problem with my iphone4. The problems are as follows a. my ear piece and proximity sensor is not working while making a call. 2. It cannot reproduce sound without earphone but rings normally if gets any call.
Can any one help me in this regard??

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac: Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out.
Sign out on the iPhone: Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out.
Then, on the phone, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage.
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.

While making a call or answering a call the speaker automatically on

while making a call or answering a call the speaker is automatically on?can u suggest remidy

The iPhone is designed to have the screen go dark during a phone call, since the phone is normally up to your ear and you would not want to be touching the screen with your ear and possibly touching random buttons. This is done by the proximity sensor, which is located near the ear speaker on the phone. When you are reaching to turn on the speaker, it is possible that you are crossing this sensor light and it turns off the screen. I have done this before. If you try reaching from the bottom of the screen, does this still happen? Try to keep your hand away from the top front portion of the phone and see if that helps.

Lumia 520 red light while making/receiving calls

I noticed there is a small red light blinking on top of screen just near the speaker, where you hear the voice while calling. This happens while making/receiving call, a small red light blinks/stays on near speaker.
Sometimes the light goes off when i press the lock button while making calls.
Solved!

Hi Joi7,
Welcome to the forum!
What you're seeing is the proximity sensor of the device. This will activate once you receive or make a call. The main purpose of the proximity sensor is to disable the screen whenever you put the phone near your ear. This is to prevent you from accidentally disconnecting the call. This also works just by covering the sensor using your hand or any object. This feature is available to all other Nokia touch screen devices. Hope this helps. Let us know if you have another concern.

I have the earliest version iPad (updated running system) I am trying to use my earbuds. How do I turn off the external audio so the sound only comes through the earbuds?

I am trying to use earbuds with my iPad Earliest version with updated running system. How do I get the sound to only come through the esrbuds and not be audible to everyone around me? Thanks!

That's strange.
You should inky be getting audio from the headphones.
Make sure that they are plugged in all the way.
If they aren't, you will get both audio.
Turn up the volume on your ipad with the buttons.
where it shows the bell, it should say Headphones.
