You need to set the phone how you want it to operate.I think you just need to select "Off" for "Auto Screen lock": press "Menu" --> select "Setting" --> select "Phone"--> select "Auto Screen Lock" --> select "Off"

Sounds like you need a new battery or charge the one that's in your phone. Is the battery strength indicator at the top of the display empty of red lines? If so, the battery needs charging.

the phone is always on unless you power off. to answer, the phone comes on and hit the green bar. if you power off, you will receive a missed call message. hope this helps.

Call tracfone customer service. They will help you set up your phone. I had a similar problem, they were a great help.

Supposedly. Every time I restart my phone, it warns me to press it on. It also says that my phone is not protected. I really don't believe it works right.

Yeah, mine will get stuck and become unresponsive at the unlock screen and you have to hold the power button to force a power down.Sometimes it won't start up again if the battery has completely drained *even after it is recharged*. When this happens, I have to connect the power cord, hold the power button, wait a few seconds, then it will boot and I can disconnect the cord and see 100% battery. This actually happened right out of the box after charging for 6 hours too.For the most part it is pretty slick though. I can't if there's an easy way to close "background apps" or not though.

Unplug everything, make sure everything is plugged in again, check the battery in the phone, and everything should work. If not, send it back and get another phone.

Humm...try this 'power reset': unplug all phone power cords, remove batteries from phones... reconnect everything...helps?

I found that it had more to do with how I inserted the phone into the case, and which direction my toggle switch was. Try pulling the phone out and switching the direction (silent or loud) and reinserting. Good luck!

Should be no different than turning the phone off. I'd be sure to turn the phone completely "off", until it says "good-bye" or what ever your carrier uses to indicate that the phone has no power. Then remove the back cover, swap the battery and then reinstall the cover. Most likely you will have to charge the phone/battery before you can use it with the new battery. When it says that the battery charge is "full", then power on the phone again.

Maybe your phones are okay. Mine were not. Many things wrong...rang when nobody was thereand so on. So bad that I sent it back to Amazon from whom I had bought it. Big NO to this phone.Don't have it now so can't answer about the non-slip back.

To answer or end a call, just tap the button briefly. To shut the headset off you have to hold the button down. Perhaps the button is sticking?

If the phone is new, the only reason I have found is extensive use with loud ring tones (set on max AND continuous ring tone until you answer the phone), large data use, etc. If its a used phone, the most likely issue is a battery near the end of its life. If none of these apply, there must be a power draw somehow-maybe a loose or faulty connection. ONE wAY TO CHECK THIS OUT IS TO CHARGE THE PHONE UP, PULL OUT THE BATTERY AND INSERT BACK IN THE PHONE AFTER A DAY. if THE BATTERY HAS DISCHARGED ITS AN OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERY. IF STILL HOLDS ITS CHARGE AFTER A DAY, ITS THE PHONE.

First try to pull the battery and then reboot the phone. This is a soft reset. If that does not work you may have to do a hard reset which will restore the phone to factory settings. You will lose all of your contacts, apps and any other information if this is necessary, but your phone will work.

Try making sure its locked, go to settings and somewhere it lets you lock buttons and touch screen. make sure you are not pressing down the back/next buttons while holding it

I had a similar problem.. I took the battery completely out for a few minutes and then put it back in. Once I did this the phone linked back up. No problems since then. (I have 5 handsets - the one in the basement was the one that I lost the link)

It doesn't turn phone off it works like it always does. If you want it off turn it off Or it stays on. Hope this helps.
