HT201401 iPhone 4S rear camera black screen but front facing camera perfectly fine and freezing updated to iOS 7.0.4

iPhone 4S brought couple of years ago, no apple warranty or AppleCare and since updating to iOS 7.0.4 there has been trouble with the rear facing camera, i dont want to go to apple store because i know that they will be like "You have to pay £200" and for me that is alot of money, now i didnt know if anyone else has the same issue as i know alot of other people are, and apple however isnt listening and needs to fix this immediately or they will lose customers.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
Restart / Reset   >  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Restoring  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

    Got my ipad mini. It works perfectly fine until I updated to ios 6.0.2. Now I can't connect to wifi. I've tried every solutions offered in every forums and internet sites but nothing happened. Still ipad cannot connect to wifi. HELP!!!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • IPhone 4 has a black screen but the backlight lights up

    So my friend was holding onto my phone for me and he dropped it. Now the screen is black, but the backlight will light up when you hit the unlock button, the home button or receive an alert. The sound works perfectly fine, and voice control works when trying to call someone, but i wont be able to hang up. also when plugging it into an idock and pressing play on the dock it will work. I took the phone apart and put it back together to make sure everything was hooked up right, but it still wont work. anyone know what could be wrong possibly? i dont want to spend money on a new screen if i dont have to. Thank you!

        Hi JKainer193,
    Broken phones are no good. It's important to have a properly working phone at all times. I see that you have performed some great troubleshooting. I want to help. Did you have insurance on the line http://bit.ly/xB4iTc ? Typically, when the screen has gone black, and powercycling the phone doest not work, then the device would need to be replaced. Keep me posted.
    Thanks,

  • Black Screen, but sleep indicator is coming on and off

    I've got pretty old MB that was bought back in 2007, and it's been working ok up until today. All of a sudden I can not boot it, the screen stays black. Whenever I turn it on the screen flashs for ~100ms and then remains black, at the same time the sleep mode light is on and off not gredually fading in and out like when it is in sleep mode but sharply. Safe boot didn't help, PRAM reset didn't help, booting into the firmware (CMD-OPT-O-F) didn't work as the screen stays black. . I can hear hard drive working but other then that I see no signs of life (even caps lock and num lock keys don't get highlighted when I press them)
    Is there anything else I can try, or is that it?

    If you haven't tried, Reset the System Management Controller (SMC)

  • My iPhone 4 rear camera is stuck and cannot be focused. How can I fix this easily?

    Hi,
    My camera won't focus on anything that is close to the camera which means that it can be frustrating when trying to focus text. The auto-contrast still works however. I'm out of warranty, can they still do this in the Apple store for free? I have read other people saying that it can be done at the genius bar for free, is this the case?
    Many thanks,

  • Sending videos from iphone 4s to pc. Why do I get black screen but have sound

    Sending videos from iphone 4s to pc.  Why do I get black screen but have sound?

    Ok I checked and unchecked the playback via camera yesterday and I got black screen both times.
    I could delete the imovie prefs when I go over there today.
    I'll try another FW cable but it worked perfectly for importing but what the heck I've got one I'll try it.
    Yes camera was set to play and not record.
    Plenty of free space -- 131 GB.
    I'm pretty sure it's in NTSC DV format, but it's someone else's computer so it could have been changed by someone screwin' around not knowing what they're doing making changes.

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • IPhone 6 black screen but works

    After getting to work, I come to find out that my iPhone 6 has a black screen. Before that time, it worked just fine until I took it out of my pocket later this morning. The phone shows a black screen, but the buttons still work (the mute switch works; every time I mute it the phone vibrates). I tried connecting it to iTunes and it shows the phone. I assume that the screen has been bricked. I previously had a time where my phone was covered in rain water. That also explain why I have been experiencing crashes on my phone which led me to doing a hard restart. I have the choice of taking it back to my carrier as I'm still under warranty or I can try find out and fix this bug myself.
    Any Suggestions?
    Many thanks
    iPhone 6 running the latest iOS

    IIf you did a reset and screen remained black then it's a hardware issue, not a bug. You should return it under warranty if you still can. Any other attemp to fix on your own is probably going to void your warranty. 

  • Iphone 4 has a black screen which will display the apple logo for approx 10 seconds, then goes blank for 10 seconds and so on.  I have tried a hard reset with power button and home button but no change.  Get no response when attempting to connect to itune

    iphone 4 has a black scrren which will display the apple logo and appears to be at start up but then blacks out for approx 10 seconds and then displays apple logo again.  Same action over and over.
    I have attempted hard reset but cannot complete.  Also attempted to connect with itunes and it does not recongize device.
    Device is frozen in this display loop.  Have an appointment with genius bar tomorrow but it's a 2.5 hour round trip so suggestion appreciated.

    Your device may need to be restored as new in iTunes (instead of restored from a back up as it seems that there is a software issue on your phone).
    If your phone is not able to connect in iTunes try forcing recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
    * power off your phone.
    * Hold the home button while connecting your phone to iTunes.  You should see the connect to iTunes window and your computer should give you the recover mode alert.
    *Restore your device as new. Being sure not to restore from a previous back up.
    You will then want to sync your information back to your device from Outlook, iCloud, Google or wherever your information is stored.

  • My iPhone 4 got a black screen and I cant turn it back on!

    Last week, my iPhone 4 got a black screen for about 2 hrs. I did the hard reset (holding home/lock buttons) and it came back on. Problem solved. Now a few days ago, the same thing happend. Only this time, my phone WILL NOT turn back on! The hard reset isn't working, it won't charge and iTunes doesn't recognize it! I really don't know what else to do! I'm really tryna avoid going to an Apple store because well? They're waaaay too far from me. Has anyone else had this problem? Can somebody please help me?

    I'm having the same problem as we speak and I was wondering if you've figured out the problem? Everyone keeps telling me to go into recovery mode but mine isn't doing ANYTHING.
