Hi iPhone 3gs blank screen except for mute/ringer level/no sim card messages.

Hi... disconnected my 3GS this am and screen won't work - just stays a sort of dark blue. It responds to SIM removal, ringer volume and mute with the usual messages, but otherwise nothing. It doesn't show on the iMac when plugged into it and won't respond to the reset procedure either. It is fully charged.
Any ideas please

The experiences that everyone mentioned are exactly what I experienced as well. I have had the phone for exactly one day, and the phone circuit is dead. The error messages are "No SIM" related type error messages. I have called ATT, I have looked at the Apple discussion online for solutions, and I even went to the nearest Apple store, which was a real trip. It is located in the Paramus NJ Garden State Center. One of the floor sales staff told me that I could not even see someone about the phone, even though I had just bought it a day earlier and that I should go online to make an appointment. Let me say one thing to Apple. Just like the person who said that he had been with Apple for 20 years, I have been involved with them even longer. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on Macs and Mac peripherals, and this has to be the WORST that it has ever been. Many of my friends have similar stories about the rollout of the product, the poor and sometimes just downright incompetent response by Apple store staff, for a device that costs hundreds of dollars. Mr. Jobs better get out of his sick bed and start kicking some butts before this great device turns into a PR nightmare for Apple.

  • My iPhone 4s touch screen will not work with an active SIM card in it.

    A few months ago my touch screen stopped working suddenly on my iPhone 4s. After I removed my active SIM card from the 4s, the touch screen started working again. As soon as I put my SIM card in again, it stopped working. I finally broke down and took it into a store where they replaced the screen. It started working again for about 5 days. Then this morning it just quit working again. I have restarted it and reset it. All of the software was up to date when it stopped working, so I haven't done anything with that. Could someone please help me with this? It's getting a little frustrating.

  • Iphone 3gs blank screen

    My iphone is fully charged and out of nowhere the screen goes blank white. it is responsive to being plugged into the computer but it will not have an image. How do I fix this

    "Troubleshooting iPhone hardware", http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802 suggests trying to Restore your phone. Here are the instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If that doesn't work, a trip to the Apple Store for service is all you can do. I had this problem and eventually had the screen replaced at a local Apple Retail Store Genius Bar

  • IPhone 3GS On-Screen Keyboard Problem!

    The number, space bar and return key on my iPhone 3GS on-screen keyboard is not working until you tilt it to landscape mode! When I tap the number key, it activates the cap key. When I tap the space bar,depending on weather I'm taping the left, middle or right, it will activate the "X, C or B keys, respectively and when I tap the return/done key, it will activate the backspace key! This problem happened suddently about two days ago!
    What on earth is the problem and can anyone please help me?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Try pushing the "home" button twice rapidly to get the multitasking bar to open. Hold on the icon for the app store for a few seconds until you get the option to close it. Then try reopening it and see what happens. That will probably fix it.

  • HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. MY question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this aren't working

    HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
    When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
    If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
    Help!

    That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

    when playing games on an iphone 3gs is it common for it to go warm?

    Yes.
    A computer will get warm when the processor is working hard and the same with the iPhone's processor.

    Hi Ricoco,
    I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS  upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
    If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

    When you connect your iPad or iPod to the Mac, click on the device name in iTunes - don't click on the arrow on the device. Then click on the Music tab in the main window pane. Now you should see 'Sync Music' and all your playlists, artists and albums. Here you mark the checkboxes for what should be synced.
