Touchscreen on my BB Playbook is acting crazy.
Hi, I have a 32 Gig Playbook that is acting crazy, like I am constantly and randomly touching the screen. It keeps radonly opening programs and what not.
I cleaned the screen. Did a hard reset, holding the Vol + and - and the power for 15 seconds with no help.
I don't have time to do a factory reload of the software tonight, but that is the only thing I can think of to do at this point.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Don
is this hapening while it is charging?
if yes remove the charger and turn off the playbook to charge it
this happened to me when the wife used her LG charger on it, the power supply ripple was so bad tee screen was affected by it

Ipad 3 acting crazy, doing things on it's own without touchng it.
My friend's ipad 3 with retina display 32GB is acting crazy. It switches between apps, closes/ opens apps, types, scrols, goes to home/ search and ...... by itself without even touching it. You can't think of using the ipad like this. It happens when you are using the ipad. It lasts from 10 secs to about 1-2 minutes or whatever. If you leave it for a while, it becomes normal ( you can use it) but after a while it starts acting weird again. We already restored it to latest frimware but no luck. Seems like a hardware problem to me. He said it used to become hot in the back while using it and playing heavey games(size of around 1GB). It is out of warranty now.
Any one having same issues?
Here's a short video clip i caught it acting crazy.

thanksTake it to an Apple Store and ask them to diagnose it, there is nothing else that you can do if you already restored the iOS software, unless you didn't restore as a new device. If you didn't do that, give it a try, if that fails, make an appointment an an Apple Store Genius Bar,

My Macbook pro is acting Crazy....the Cursor just keeps on jumping everywhere and not responding when I use the trackpad....Even when it does respond it is very slow...I thought it was the trackpad acting up but realized it wasnt when i plugged in a mouse and it still did the same thing...this happened one other time and shortly after my computer froze...I had to restart for it to work but restarting dosent help this time...can someone please help?...Is this a Virus?
It is not a virus. See my Mac Virus Guide*.
As to what it might be, that's hard to say. You should try some basic troubleshooting... Repair the hard drive with disk utility. Boot in safe mode and see if it happens then, log in to a different user account and see if it happens there, reboot from another system and see if it happens.
Apparently some people have had this kind of problem caused by swelling batteries that push on the underside of the trackpad and cause all kinds of strange problems. Is your machine's underside deformed at all?

[SOLVED]Mouse and keyboard acting crazy. I have to restart gdm via ssh
Here's the output from dmesg after boot.
http://pastebay.com/14045
Basically, I'm getting errors from my USB mouse and keyboard. If I wait long enough udev will find them and they'll start working. GDM starts too fast so Xorg is stuck without keyboard and mouse. I had to ssh and restart GDM then mouse and keyboard worked. For the meantime I've disabled gdm in rc.conf.
I usually see these messages from devices that are drawing too much power from the USB power bus.
These devices work fine in the Win32 and OSX installs on the same hardware.
thanks ya'll
[EDIT]
daemons from rc.conf

My mail application is acting crazy.
When I try to delete messages it tells me they can not be moved to the trash because an item is there already there
or it quits unexpectedly.
“37900.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists.Exactly.
That is why I say it is acting crazy.
When I attempt to delete from any inbox accross all accounts
it gives the same error code.
Wether I highlight drag and drop, right click delete, or move manually one by one to trash. -

Good to know that I am not alone!!
In my case, after I have deleted some messages, in a few minutes, the deleted messages came back and shown as NEW MESSAGES!
This is driving me crazy as I have to repeatedly delete messages again and again and again and ....
Yes, this all happens a couple of weeks ago...
I thought that because I have so many messages in my folders so I deleted some messages but that didn't help.
Apple tech: Pls take a look at this problem. It is very annoying to say the least. -
my iphone is acting crazy plz help asap my phone is giving reading me everything i lay my hand on and is not letting me scroll down or select anything i must have accidentally switched some voice thing on plz help me close it:(
First off, try triple clicking the home button.
To scroll use three fingers and I think you have to double tap to get into something.
Go to Settings>General>Accessability>Voiceover and then turn that off.
Hope that sorts it for you -

My Lenovo Twist ThinkPad touchpad has been acting crazy recently. When I click anything on the touchpad (right or left) it clicks 3-4 times in a row. For instance, if I click to open a new tab in Internet Explorer, 3 tabs open simultaneously or if I click to open an app it will open it in 3 different windows. It is becoming a pain in the butt. I have tried messing around with the advanced settings under synaptics UltraNav settings but have not been able to fix the issue. I also updated the drivers, which did not help either. Do I need to send my computer in for repair? If anyone has been having this problem as well and found a fix, please fill me in! Thanks
Chrishi akbp,
In addition to what SEAlaa have suggested, have you tried adjust the sensitivity and palm tracking settings by going to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Mouse:

Samsung Reality acting crazy...
I have the Samsung Reality and just the other day it started acting up. First it was stuck in landscape mode on the screen then this morning it just kept switching between landscape and portrait mode on the screen and when you hit the lock button it would lock then cut back on then the lock screen would go away and it would go back to switching modes again. Eventually it just got stuck on the lock screen and you couldn't go anything. The touch screen wouldn't work and the buttons wouldn't work, so I had to take the battery out to turn it off. Has anyone else had the problem or doesn't anyone have any suggestions?
Hi stbishop622,
Currently we have no reported issues. I would suggest resetting your phone by going to Menu>Settings&Tools>Phone Settings>Scroll to & press Security>Enter the last 4 digits of your number as the lock code>Press Done>Reset Settings>Yes. Keep in mind this does not t erase user data such as pictures, videos, music, messages, contacts or downloaded applications stored on the phone. Please let me know if your require further assistance.
Thank you for being apart of our community forums, -
IPhone5 Touchscreen acting crazy - Solution
Hi Apple,
This isn't a question but more of a solution. I recently bought an iPhone 5C and the next day it started acting very erratic and crazy. It would select items when I wasnt touching the screen and scroll up and down on its own etc. I found the problem only occurred when it was charging. I had the phone plugged into a wall USB port at work which was causing the problem. When I plugged it into my PC to charge it worked perfectly well. I noticed there was a few people on here that were having the same problem so thought I would share what I found. If you guys are experiencing the same problem when your phone is charging then it is more than likely that it is the power supply causing the problem, not the phone.Try to reset your device.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
Press and hold on the Home button
Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.
If this does not help, try these steps. Note that this may erase the data from your computer.
You need to restore your iPad to factory settings.
Take a look this Apple Support article: Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
If this does not help, try the recovery mode. Turn your device off, then plug it to your computer with the home button pressed. You will need to have iTunes installed on this computer. Keep the Home button pressed until you see the iTunes logo on the screen of your iPhone. After that on your computer you should see the iTunes window saying your iPhone needs to be restored to factory settings. Click on the restore button.
If you say your device suffered from water damage, you should visit your local Apple Store and get it examined or repaired by Apple specialists. -
HELP-Time selection tool acting crazy all of a sudden
Hi all, Audition CS6 is suddenly acting strange on me! I am editing an audiobook, and have to pull dialogue from a male character from another open file to insert into my larger raw narration file....so I go back and forth between these two files quite a bit, but have to stay in the place I left off on each one....normally, this works beautifully; when I switch to view a different file and go back to the previous "still open" file, the time selection tool remains in the same place I left it...but suddenly, it has started remaining at the time I left it on the PREVIOUS FILE... when I return to the other file. Wow, let me rephrase that incase that was too confusing. If I am at, say, position 02:14:12 on file A, and then open file B, and copy a piece of audio, leaving the cursor in THAT file at position 00:00:45, when I switch back to file A, the time selection tool is now at position 00:00:45, rather than where I left it. Again, it didn't used to do this (as in didn't do it last night even!) I tried restarting the computer, and that didn't fix it. I am not aware of changing any settings, but I'm guessing I must have accidentally hit the perfect storm of keystrokes to engage this "option."
BTW, I thought it might be the Preference-->Playback-->Return playhead to start position on stop (not that I had changed it) but that does not fix it either.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!Hi Melissa,
Souinds like the "Synchronize across files" preference got enabled. Open Preferences > General and uncheck "Synchronize selection, zoom level, and playhead across files in the Waveform Editor"
