Trouble turning on the screen on my Treo 700wx (Verizon)

I have a situation that Verizon thinks is related to low memory availability on my Treo. I disagree. I have to hit the 'end call/power off' button repeatedly to get my screen to turn on. The backlight on the keyboard comes on fine and the screen shows signs of life sometimes, but most of the time I just get a black or dark gray screen (no today screen). Soft resets seem to do the job, but I sometimes have to do that 2 or 3 times.
I get phone calls but I can't see who is calling me since the screen never fully recovers from 'sleep'. I rely on this phone for work and it not only hinders my effectiveness and poses a risk while driving but it also makes me look unprofessional!
I have removed programs but still have the problem. Currently, my settings show 62.95 mb total space in storage on the phone, 36.59 mb in use, and 26.36 mb free. The total program memory is 57.45 mb, 15.22 mb in use, and 42.23 mb free. With all this space free, I just had the same problem and had to soft reset the phone to get it working again.
Please let me know if any of the following programs have a known issue with this phone, and should I remove any of them:
Astraware Sudoku
Palm Updinfo
Palm PayldMatchdll
Spb Backup
TomTom Navigator
Sync Client
Astraware Cubis
These are still installed on the phone. Please assist with this MOST frustrating situation!!!!!

No, the issue was not resolved really. The only solution Verizon could finally offer was to replace the phone. I received a new Treo 700wx next day and shipped the one with problems back to them. That part of the process was very easy. I have not had a moment's trouble since then with the replacement and I run all the same applications I did before. In fact, I restored everything from a backup of the old phone to the new one. No problems. I still do not know what caused the original phone to malfunction, but I would be willing to bet it was related to the download/update I had to do shortly after I bought the phone. The phone's op system had to be upgraded from 1.20 (I think) to 1.22. The new phone came with 1.22 installed from Palm/Verizon, so it was clean from the start.
Hope that helps!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hello HaithamOkeely,
We've an article that provides the following troubleshooting steps that may help stabilize your iPhone.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.

My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

I leave it charging until it gets back to full, usually it turns on after a little bit of time after plugging it in, but all its doing is going to the apple logo screen and going blank again.

Phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on

hi,
phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on.
I purchaged it before one month onl. So i wont understand how it comes. Please help me. I am waiting for you reply.

"Your face is so ugly, it broke your phone!" Ha ha. Get it? How I was joking there? About your iPhone not working correctly after... <sigh>
But seriously, you said the situation only happens when you have been on a long call, so maybe the iPhone is just autolockng?

Camileo S20 - Is it possible to turn off the screen?

Is it possible to turn off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection modes so as to save power?

Hi buddy,
I have downloaded the user manual off Camileo S20 and searched a little bit but unfortunately I can find no informations about turning off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection. It seems that the screen is always on.
But you can connect the AC adaptor while recording movies. So you have always power. :)

How can I turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake?

I am using teamviewer to remote connect to my office Imac from home. However, every time I connected, my imac screen will turn on and everyone else in the office can see what my imac is doing..
Is there some method to turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake, so I can remote connect to it?
PS: I am using OSX 10.7.3

Energy Saver, you can keep the computer awake while the screen saver shuts the monitor off but I'm not sure that would do it for you.

Turn off the screen saver is greyed out in Presentation Settings

Hi,
We are using Windows 7, and want to allow laptop users the ability to "turn off the screen saver" when they are running presentations. However, this option is greyed out and the box is not selectable.
We have the usual screen saver group policies, i.e. enable screen saver, Prevent changing the screen saver, screen saver timeout, and force specific screen saver. I have tried to Disable all these apart from Enable screen saver, since if I disable this then
it says users cannot change screen saver options, so I left this one as enabled.
However, the "Turn off the screen saver" box is still greyed out. Does anyone know which group policy setting will enable this option?
Also, is there a way to keep the screen saver settings and also be able to use Presentation Settings, so that the screen saver does not come on and lock the machine in mid presentation?
I've seen some sites mention utilities that run in the background and simulate mouse clicks, but we're not allowed to run these kind of utilities, and no forums seem to be able to provide an answer to this problem.
Thxs.
Jaz

Hi,
>>i.e. enable screen saver, Prevent changing the screen saver, screen saver timeout, and force specific screen saver. I have tried to Disable all these apart from
Enable screen saver,
Before going further, please make sure that the group policy settings were applied correctly. We can run cmd command
gpresult/v or gpresult/z on clients to collect group policy to check this.
Besides, if the issue persists, we can try setting all these settings to
Not Configured.
>>Also, is there a way to keep the screen saver settings and also be able to use Presentation Settings, so that the screen saver does not come on and lock the machine
in mid presentation?
Based on the description, it is not easy to do this. However, we can reduce the effect of screen saver by choosing to not enable
Password protect the screen saver, and not set the setting
On resume, display logon screen on Screen Saver Settings dialogue box. Besides, we need to not let our power plan settings lock out the computer within a short time.

How to use the viewfinder? can't turn off the screen

i bought the powershot a1400 for the viewfinder but can't turn off the screen to use the viewfinder.
manual says to use down button to turn off the screen, - didn't work.
contacted Canon, they said to hold down the "disp" button until screen disappears, that didn't work.
what do i do?

Seems to me the Display button and the Down button are the same thing...you press the button as mentioned and it should cycle through...if it doesn't call Canon back and initiate a service request or return it to where you bought it if possible.
There are no tricks to it other than the screen automatically turns off in Movie mode...does that work ?

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
