BigTone Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 In the last few days my mobile (Samsung J3) has started acting the maggot and just seems to jump around from page to page and app to app on it's own accord. Any advice as to the possible cause would be appreciated. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne allisons tongues Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I had an iPhone that was messing about. Found giving the ear plug socket a clean sorted. Lots of stuff built up inside it and was pushing on the socket. Maybe won’t sort it but worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn’t realise this at the time, certainly wasn’t soaked or anything, just answered a call in the rain and a couple of hours afterwards played up. We were at Glastonbury with limited supplies but managed a Google. So with the aid of tissue and a cotton bud we managed to dry out the ear plug socket and the phone lasted for many months after. Its not always the obvious things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not always the obvious things. Not a phone playing up or anything, but once had to walk to Avon Valley from Kingswood to do some work, was a lovely day/evening when I left but about 30 minutes before I got there an absolute downpour came down, just at the time I had tried to give my Dad a call. It went to answerphone and the rain was so heavy the screen stopped responding to anything and I couldn't dry it. The result was a 4 or 5 minute long voicemail of muffled sounds of me trying to end the call. Phone was working perfectly fine afterwards though, was just the sheer amount of water on the screen from the downpour that stopped it responding until it was dried.

No, I'm so stupid I couldn't possibly think of that. Of course I ******* did, the problem was it made no difference. The rain was so heavy that the clothes I was wearing were completely soaked through within about a minute of the rain starting, wiped the screen on my top/trousers and just got a spread of wetness across it, and then it was instantly bombarded with rain.
