  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to press end the call

    why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call

    hi smalley3,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
    If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
    In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

  • I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger is not supported with device screen every minute or two. I powered it off for the night. I havent experienced problems since. Why does it still work?

    I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger not supported sign every minute or two. I decided to turn it off for the night and the next morning it worked fine and only the bottom sensor was triggered. Why does it still work and how long will it last?

    Water in itself will not kill electronic components if you let it dry out.  Your first reaction to turn it off was a good one but you could have waited even longer.
    It also depends what's on your water that will stay after the water itself had dried; like salt. Anything that iseither acid or conductor left on the circuit board will reduce the life of the board.  Given said this, no one could state how long your iPhone will work since no one will know for sure where the water had time to infiltrate before you removed your device and no one what's may left there.
    Consider yourself lucky.  I don't understand however what you mean by a sensor triggered.

    Hiya thankyou for the answer.
    Trying to set it up as a new device but can't find the backup to save it.
    I have no "mediasync" folder in my library/application support. Did these folders get moved around with Lion?
    Thankyou again,

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

    Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.

  • IPhone 3GS Camera App and Photo App Not Opening

    Hi, my iPhone 3GS Camera Application and the Photo Application (Base Apple Photo-related apps "Photos", "Camera") will not open. When I tap either of them, it takes me back to the Home Screen and for a brief moment says "Library Updating", I have been waiting over a day for this to work and it still wont open.
    If more information is required please specify what areas are needed below.
    Thanks,

    (windows) and browse for the photos and keep it some place else...

  • Ipod screen flashes and chirps ???

    I have a 20GB click wheel Ipod. Last night it just started to make a high pitch sound and then changed to a screen flashing and chirping sound simultaneously? The flashing and chirping continued and I could not do anything. It was basically frozen, then I connected it to the fire wire port and the apple logo appeared and it seemed to fix itself. The battery was dead, I don't know if that was a symptom. I restored the Ipod and I'm waiting to see if it happens again when the battery is dead. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions, Derek Skaalen!
    I'd get a replacement ASAP. That doesn't sound good.

  • My iphone 3GS screen went black

    my iphone 3GS screen randomly went black and it was fully charged... ive tried to hold the buttons down that turn it off, i tried plugging it into the wall and my computer nothing is working the screen is still black

    My wife's phone has done this today.
    16Gb 3GS running 5.1.1 that has been fine up until today.
    It was around 80% charged and running rather slowly today, then it appears to have shut off. The symptoms are:
    - The screen has gone black (as in off, not on but showing a black screen)
    - The mute switch does not make it vibrate.
    - I can call the phone number and it rings, the phone does nothing though.
    - I connect it to my Mac and iPhoto launches, I can import pictures from it OK.
    - iTunes will recognise it eventually, but it will not sync, nor will it restore.
    - Holding the Hold & Home buttons does nothing.
    - I cannot force it into recovery or DFU modes.
    Bit stuck as to what to try next. Still seeing what I can find online.
    It only needed to last until next month!

  • HT201413 iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

    iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

    Mikey, I have the exact same problem. Dropped my 3gs on Thanksgiving, phone was not responsive, plugged into the wall charger, went to grey iPhone restore screen, then said to connect to itunes. So I plugged it into itunes but itunes wont recognize it nor will my computer. I searched the internet for hours with no success. I tried to change USB ports and cords, tired removing the SIM card, reinstalled itunes, everything. When I put it in DFU mode itunes recognizes an iphone in recovery mode, so I click restore and update, then I get error 1602 every time. My iPhone also loses power when I unplug it from the wall. I do not know what to try next. You are the only person I have found with the same exact problem I have. I will update you if I find a way to get my phone working again and I hope you will do the same. I'm very frustrated

  • Why is my Iphone 3Gs screen appear to be disintegrating?

    Iphone 3Gs screen appears to have burn holes in it and looks like it is disintegrating in a pixelated format.  There appears to be a dark rainbowlike hole in the areas affected.  There are also small pixelated lines that run though areas of the top and bottom of the screen.  We tried turning off the phone for an extended period of time and it seemed to get better but now it the problem has persisted and gotten worse.

    Whether this is due to a defect in the display or damage, there's no way to fix it without replacing the display or entire phone. 
    If the phone is still under warranty or AppleCare, take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your area.  If out of warranty, Apple can give you an out-of-warranty replacement (refurb) for $199 (in USA).
    Another choice is to take it to a 3rd party iPhone repair center which may be able to fix it for a lot less.  If you know what you're doing, you can buy a new LCD screen and install it yourself.

  • IPhone 3GS screen no green colour

    The screen on my iPhone 3GS has broken and now does not show any green or red
    (this fault is intermittent but is almost constant) and I was wondering if this can be fixed by replacing the LCD screen with a new one? I would have to do this myself as I do not have a lot of money and the Phone is no longer under warranty
    Does it need another screen or is there something else I should do? (I have already restored it)

    Thanks but do I really need to replace the digitizer or just the LCD display? Also do you have to take out every single screw and if so what type(s) of screwdriver do I need?
