Black screen after updating to ios 8 iphone 4s

iPhone 4S Cap 56,5 GB IOS 8.0.2 Model MD261HN/A Modem Firmware 5.4.00
Guys, since upgrade to IOS 8.0.0 I am getting black screens or crash in most apps (Facebook, Whatsapp, etc).
That has never happened before and I own this phone for about 3 years.
Any suggestion?
Thank you!
Fabio

Found a fix!
The problem is that after the update, for some reason, the screen brightness is set to lowest, so you can't see anything although the screen still works.
If you shine a bright light on the screen, like from the flash of another phone, you can see the information on the screen, not well, but visible, finish the update process, and when you're done, go to settings, and set your screen brightness up again.
It's as simple and stupid as that.

    It is restored now.  Thanks for the comment about disabling firewalls - we did that and tried again and it worked.

  • M5400 - Black screen after updating BIOS

    As the title says, I've got this unwanted black screen after updating BIOS with update utility from here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds037429
    What I've tried :
    - power / battery out, pressing power button several times for short / long and longer time
    - BIOS battery out for about half an hour
    - wincrisis with USB bootable stick and BIOS extracted from BIOS update utility from support.lenovo
    - different combinations of keys such as : FN + B / F / R +/- win key
    What should I do next except finding a hammer ?

    Hey,
    I am having the same problem, I was updating my bios.. followed all directions which is necessary to update them.
    And then when it was almost ready it said "Bios update is not responding" so I waited... and waited because I did not want to abort it but then Vista aborted it for me.
    Well at first it did not seem to be a problem but then I noticed that I could not click anything (was still in windows @ that time did not reboot yet) then I wanted to reboot but nothing worked.. Pressing off button for a time to shut down did not work.. So eventually power was out. And it shut down.
    So I hooked it up again but nothing happened. Pressing the "on" button made it start.. The DVD-drive loaded for a second but... that is it just a black screen :S
    Going to bring it back to the shop tomorrow.

  • Qosmio X870-149 - Black screen after Update to win 8.1

    After an update to win 8.1 I got a black screen after login , the only thing I could do was to press zero during startup and make a recovery installation .
    It took 40 houres , I do not know why it took so long , but when it was over, the HDD was completely empty , so I installed win 7 instead , since I had not made ??a recovery CD . The problem now is that I still get black screen in between , and thinking that it might be a heat problem , I still have warranty , but I do not know if it applies when I installed win 7 on the machine.
    I still have a warranty on my toshiba Qosmio

    Hi
    Well, the warranty covers the hardware related problems. It does not cover any issues related to the software.
    Now the open question is: why the black screen appears?
    Is it hardware or software issue?
    What happens if you access the BIOS?
    Can you see anything on the screen?
    Is something visible on the external monitor?

  • IPad Air not showing full screen after updating to ios 8.2.

    How do I reset the screen to show all items on screen while in Safari?  Screen seems to be "cut-off" after updating to ios 8.2. Also cannot view Yahoo in Desktop view.  It only shows in mobile mode,

    When on Yahoo, tap on the address bar once...a drobox box containing icons of your favourites should appear.  Hold your finger anywhere on the box & pull down,,,you should see 'Request Desktop Site' under the address bar...tap on that & the desktop site should load.
    Is your Safari screen cut off a bit at the sides?  I notice that too on certain websites & usually switch my iPad to landscape mode which allows me to view more of the page without having to scroll sideways.

  • My iPhone 4S is stuck in iTunes screen after updating to iOS 7, what can I do?

    Hi everyone
    I updated iTunes to latest version.
    Connected my 4s to iTunes and started the update to iOS 7.
    Took a few minutes and in the end it gave me an error, dying the iPhone could not be updated for an unknown reason.
    Now the iPhone screen shows "connect to iTunes" and I can't get it out of there!
    Tried pressing both home and start buttons to no avail, won't do anything.
    Help please!

    It worked the second time! At first I reinstalled iTunes (left the 'open right now' option checked) and when I connected the iPhone nothing happened. Then I unninstalled it and reinstalled it again (this time not leaving the open right now option checked) and as soon as I connected my Iphone Itunes openned  and detected it.
    Thanks so much for your help !!
    I suggest to anyone with the same problem to try this method first, the method described in the link DOES NOT WORK.

  • Ipad icons too big to see full screen after updating to IOS 8?

    I have an IPAD Retina (4th generation) and after I updated to IOS 8, it worked fine for 2 or 3 days. Yesterday my screen went too large to display the full screen (icons are also large). When I open an app, everything is large. I tried changing the font seize but no change. I rebooted my ipad a great number of times, no change. I've searched Google but I haven't seen anyone talking about this problem. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Should it happen again double tap the screen with three fingers. Then go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

  • N8 black screen after updated to the new version 0...

    Was it an OTA or Ovi Suite update? Try rebooting the phone by pressing and holding the power button for at least 8 seconds until the phone buzzez 3 times in quick succession. Then try restarting your phone again. 
    Another thing you could try if your initial update attempt was through OTA is to try connecting and updating your phone using Ovi Suite.
    If that does not work then you may need to hard reset your phone but there are various issues with that at the moment, such as losing your data uinless you have a backup and other options such as the lost of some functionality which at the moment can only be restored by reinstalling Qt or by a Nokia Care Point.

  • Black screen after updating

    Hello! I've upgraded to W10 using the Updater, and after every boot I see a black screen instead of the lockscreen. A few times it resolves itself after a few minutes, other times I need to put the laptop to sleep mode, then turn it back on. My laptop is a B50-30.

    I think before it opens it'll restart several times after it finishes loading

  • Hp pro tablet 610 G1 black screen after updating bios

    After upgrading to windows 10, I updated bios recommended by hp official page for hp pro tablet 610 G1, but my tablet now turn into black screen and I could not do anything. Please help!!!
    Any combination keys for this tablet to enter into bios recovery?

    Quote from: flobelix on 23-August-14, 22:52:29
    Ok, first of all update bios to the latest version which is 1.5 already.
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
         A.) Download the attached archive and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
         B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
         C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
         D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
         E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
         F.) Boot to the USB 
         G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
         H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_me10_mb.zip
    thanks, i'll try this and post back
