    Did anything happen to prior to your phone acting this way? It sounds like your screen is dead, but it is hard to say without knowing what what the cause.
    1) was this a gradual problem? Did the phone screen start dimming a couple months ago and now has degraded or after some event (known or unknown to you), the phone started behaving this way.
    2) Can you give more specifics on the problem? You said you have a black screen, but also you can see what you're doing on screen. Is the screen just really dim? Is the screen completely black? Does anything else besides attempting to reset the device cause it to flash white?

  • Just ported my number, cant recieve texts,calls. But i can make them...????

    I got my iPhone 3g today and i ported my number over from t-mobile, i thought now one was texting me but i found out my phone wont recieve texts and wont recieve calls.. whats going on? I can do everything but those 2 things Does porting a number take a certain amount of time for the features to work or what?

    Ohhh ok thanks. I took my sim card out of my other phone because when i would send texts they would be returned to my blackberry. So lets hope it works in the morning. If not i saw a bulletin that said to call att and they will force it or something so ill do that.
    Thanks!

  • Sometimes when I am texting the screen freezes.  I have to go out of messages and return and then I can send.

    Hello mdcrab1,
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    If your screen freezes sometimes when you're texting until you quit and re-launch Messages, try these troubleshooting steps first:
    Restart your device and check for updates
    Restart your device.
    Check for a carrier settings update.
    Check for an iOS software update.
    You can find these steps and more troubleshooting tips at this link:
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If the issue continues, and it only happens in the Messages app, I recommend trying the rest of the steps in the above article.
    If the screen freezes sometimes when you're using other apps, the steps in this article can help:
    If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support

  • My Iphone wont recieve phone calls

    Hiya everyone,
    As the title says my iphone wont receive phone calls, when you phone it it just goes straight to answer phone and some times it takes for ever to receive texts as well. is there anything i can do to fix this??
    Thanks very much
    Ryan

    Hi Ryan,
    An easy troubleshooting step that may resolve the issue is restarting the iPhone. You can do this by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> then slide to turn off> and turn the iPhone back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again, as described on page 46 of the iPhone User Guide.

  • Casio Brigade problems!!  Won't send/recieve text or voicemail; freezing up, can't delete inbox?

    I have had this Casio Brigade only about 2 months now; up until recently I was in love with it.   I'm hoping somebody has a suggestion here- I was on the phone with Verizon for an hour this afternoon to no avail, they're supposed to get back to me in a few days once they "investigate" the issue.  I really don't want a refurbished replacement....I want to fix THIS phone since it's still brand-new!  If it's possible, anyway....please help! 
    SO- the phone is still making & recieving calls beautifully.  But suddenly over the last few days, it isn't delivering my voicemails AND I'm unable to send or recieve plain text messages.  Not even to myself.  Phone just says "Sending Message" for eternity- I left it sitting for 2 hours once & it never came up with an error screen.  It only cancels the message when I hit End. 
    I can SEND picture messages amazingly enough, but *cannot* recieve them....and when I send one, the phone auto-saves it, then freezes up on the "Message Saved" screen.   I have to pry off the battery cover & take out the battery to re-boot it.   It did this a couple of isolated times over the last 3 weeks or so....but always worked fine again when I re-booted it.   Not so anymore. 
    I attempted to delete my inbox & sent message folders in case it was a low memory issue.  At the time I had my text messages set to "view by thread" instead of view by time.  I manually deleted my threads one by one; but they still showed up in my inbox & I could still open and read them.  I then tried the "delete all" option.....and it said I didn't have any messages to delete!   THEN I changed the view to show each individual message according to the time it was recieved.  NOW I can't even OPEN my Inbox or Sent folders at all.   Click on 'em all day long and it does nothing.  If I go back to "thread" everything's still there same as it was before. 
    I've shut the phone down & removed the battery numerous times.   I did a software update last night.  I updated my roaming preferences this afternoon at the direction of the nice Verizon lady.  She tried to do whatever it is they do on their end to troubleshoot this issue too.  Nothing worked.   I don't think it's a network issue in my area because my husband's phone was recieveing messages all weekend long while mine wasn't. 
    Any ideas?  Some kind of reset maybe?
    Has anyone else had this issue with the Brigade, I wonder...or did I possibly do something wrong??  I can't find anything about it ANYWHERE online....all I found is the "re-boot cycle" glitch that'd happen during texting, when the phone first came out.  Mine has never done that, but it'd be preferable to what it's doing now!
    Thanks in advance for ANY information!

    this is pretty much my exact same story. it just happened to me when i woke up. the previous day i had kind of been annoyed at my phone, because i was texting a bunch of people but my phone simply refused to save my sent text messages, regardless of my settings. i shrugged it off as nothing. i woke up this morning with a bunch of unread texts, could read them perfectly fine...(although i was half asleep..i wish i paid attention to what they had said.)
    i decided to send a picture message to my email, but of course my phone freezes up. like the original poster, my phone also would occasionally freeze up while sending a text but it was nothing that taking out the battery and replacing it wouldn't solve.
    so this time, when i turn it on, i can't open any of my texts. i can't send any texts. i cant delete my texts. i can only call and use the internet/mobile messenger services. and its really upsetting me because... my social life is in texting! hahaa...seriously.
    when i go through my inbox, itll show a bunch of my recently texted people(like orginal poster, i can only view as people grouped into threads, or i cant open my inbox at all) , then a couple of my texts sent from extreme numbers...numbers that dont exist. IE; 86059, 95, 609, even foreign characters like the copyright sign.
    i personally have no clue what i did either...
    all ive been doing is using the phone. i noticed that the first change, (when i could no longer save messages i sent) began happening after one of the times i had to take out the battery cause my phone froze during a picure message...maybe that has something to do with it.
    but im steammmedd dude! i hope theres something i can do to fix it without sending it away...

  • Droid Charge - dropping service, no incoming calls, screen freezing, going black...

    This is my 4th Droid Charge. I've never been so disappointed. Nor have I ever needed one to work more. Not a good time to have a phone that just plain is not up to par.
    This replaced a Fascinate, that I did not have problems with until Verizon did some sort of "download" on.
    Ph #1 - literally acted possessed. Until the manager saw for himself after treating me like a mental case. ie "Well, set the screen time out for TEN MINUTES, if the screen keeps going black!" So he did & it went black, not to be "restored" without being turned off & re-started. Then, when it did "time-out" suddenly it went into V-Cast...no one was near it. It also would go into airplane mode...I could not retrieve voice mail; after entering the 2nd of 4 #'s, the screen went black.
    Finally, it got replaced after then entire staff "witnessed" the phone I had to live with day in & day out. Guess the customer is always wrong....until proven time & time again, that the phione REALLY IS defective despite years of never complaining about a phone.
    Ph#2 - I NEED the voice dial....I do. I travel in my work  I have appts. If I am going to be late  NEED to be courteous & call. While driving on the freeway, getting off & stopping only makes things ten times worse.  While in the cup-holder, I can tap that....say who to call...and viola...BUT....it immediately says "Turn phone off" ...then try again. Well. how many times can you do that?? I mean really. How many times are you expected to turn your phone off for an app that comes installed ON the phone & should work. Right??
    Ph#3 - Would NOT hold the signal...AND Voice Dial did not work.... did not back up info....messages did not come through, nor did phone calls. {even in the Verizon Store!! NO SIGNAL...they erased my phone for the umpteenth time!!! Grrrrrrr]
    Ph #4 - arrived with YouTube loaded...to "How to Use Your Android Phone" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No kidding.
    Screen locks up. Screen goes black & phone turns itrself off. Will not hold a signal...calls not coming through....
    I saw others are also having these same issues. VERY frustrating trying to do "business" from a phone that is totally uncoopereative & unrealiable. 
    Very disappointed in this phone. 

    Steve, if the tech says get a replacement then that is what I would do.
    But before I did, I would have them walk me thru a hard reset.
    Sometimes that will help with ALL sorts of problems.
    Godd luck!

  • I open a text message to respond and my screen freezes

    I keep getting the "low on space" message pop up, and when I went to open a text message it would tell me that there is not enough space and I need to delete apps. I deleted some works in the text dictionary and then suddenly my phone started to act up. It wont let me delete blank works in my dictionary. Also, when I go to open up a text and respond I type in one letter and my screen freezes. When I finally get it to the home page the keyboard is still there and is making everything slow and or not work. I have to keep turning my phone on and off. I have already taken out the battery 3 times already and let it sit. 
    Anyone have advice on what to do??? 
    I don't want to have to do a factor reset because I am scared I will loose my calendar appointments, pictures etc.

    Your internal storage is getting too low. These phones require a little bit of maintenance from time to time.
    Check your internal storage. Settings > sd card & phone storage
    Clear cache from the applications. Settings > applications > manage applications > all tab > menu button > sort by size. You will have to go through the apps one by one and pressing the white clear cache button. Browser, market and games seem to be the usual suspects.
    Backup your text messages to the sd card or send to an email address. Search the Market for sms backup. If you want to save mms messages, you will likely have to choose a paid application.
    After you have backed up the text messages, delete as many threads or individual messages as you can stand.
    Clear call history. Not sure if there is an application that will back that up for you. I use Lookout which has that as option.
    Move what applications you can to the sd card. The steps will be similar to the clear cache steps above.
    After completing all that go back to get your internal storage level and hopefully be amazed how much space you have gained.

  • My phone wont recieve calls and its not on do not disturib and not on airplane people tell me its like iv declined there call or blocked them and i checked and i havent blocked anyone please help

    my iphone wont recieve calls and i checked and its not in airplne mode and do not disturb is off and people have told me that its like ive declined there calls or blocked them and i checked and have not blocked anyone please help

    You ARE roaming.  You turned off your data, but you are still roaming when making calls, and texting.  If you blocked all roaming then you wouldn't be able to make calls/text or receive calls/text.

  • Does anybones screen freeze when texting or using bbm?

    iv only had my 9300 for about 3 months and since day one the texting would freeze for about 5 seconds before it would allow me to type another letter and today its been a nightmare the screen freezes when im texting and using bbm for so long i have to take the battery out to turn it off. im not sure how to contact blackberry over this problem. its really annoying me.

    Sue,
    I actually installed new RAM - 2 GB, and the problem still seems to persist. It is on all the new movies we have imported and are attempting to edit. This all seems to have started when we went from iLife 05 to iLife 06. At that point, we did not have the added RAM, but now with the added RAM and I know we have 15-20 GB free on disk space, we are still having the screen freeze when playing back a scene or scenes we are trying to review after adding an effect or making audio changes, or just any change.
    I am still frustrated and I dont know what my options are as far as support or customer care. Can I go to a genius bar? Do I need to bring the machine to show them? Is there anywhere I can call to help? Would I call iLife support or hardware support?
    I am a windows guy and I am helping my kids and wife on this one, and everyone raves at how effortless and integrated a MAC is, but with this type of an issue I feel stuck and there is no good documentation or my searches never seem to product any decent results that even hint at helping. I have seen similar issues and heard about alot of issues with the MAC and trying to do the movie stuff, but that is what it is touted for?
    Give me some options and I will try anything.
    Are you an Apple employee or just a loyal user?

  • No Call or Contact Info on my Text Messaging screen

    Ihave an iPhone 3G - but I don't have the Call or Contact Info button available on my text messages screen. It is infuriating to receive a text from someone not in my contacts list and (a) I can't call them and (b) I can't add them to my contacts as I don't have either of these options displaying on my screen within Text Messages. My friend has the same model of phone and does have these options available. I cannot find where to amend the settings. Please help.

    Actually have found the buttons right at the top of all the message stream for each text.

  • HT201401 I cannot end my call - the screen freezes on call ending

    When I press the red  'end call' on my iphone 4S the screen freezes on 'call ending' and goes black. I think it ends the connection but I can't get rid of the screen unless I turn the phone on & off. Any suggestions please? ( The screen is clean and other functions such as the calculator work so I don't think it's a problem with the touchscreen but more likely something to do with the end call button.)

    Try a Reset...
    Reset  (No Data will be Lost)
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Selecting Messages or Text Messages Icon takes me to the recent calls screen instead.

    Hi,
    This just started yesterday.
    When I select either Messages or Text Messages icon I am not taken to those apps, Instead I get the recent calls screen.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Try this -
    When you device is POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery. This make a reboot to your device which resolves minor issues with the BlackBerry device.
