Iphone 3g white out

Hi everyone,
I got a problem with my Iphone 3g 16gb model. Sometimes the phone is white out. I did restore a couple times but does not work, it still happen, not much but really annoying. I came to apple store (CA San Diego Fashion Valley) and talked with tech support at genius bar, a guy said the cable connect to the screen loosing,and he fixed it, however everything is still the same and i went to apple store again, the tech said at first he said just sit and try and do whatever i want if the screen happen again he will fix it( are you always with me all the time to do that? <----- i asked???) and he came with another solution just squeeze the screen when the screen's white out( apple company make iphone to squeeze every time it white out . Just wonder what do i have to do? could give me some advice? live with the iphone white out sometimes, or go to tech support hope them gonna fix this problem again (???), or throw the phone away and find another iphone.
thanks

if its still under warranty then yes a loose cable would be covered (if it just loosened on its own)...
when you go back to the apple store explain you have been in several times and it is still happening and perhaps they will swap it out for a service unit!
be well

  • My iphone 4s blacked out you cant see anything but a white line im trying to seee how can i transfer all my stuff off my iphone to this computer?

    My iphone 4s blacked out you cant see anything but I white line, how do you transfer everything from your iphone to a computer

    Next time make regular backups of your computer. The iPhone is not a backup device, and I'm sure you lost more than your iTunes library. See this user tip for your options: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • I lost my iphone 4 white yesterday (june 21st, 2011)

    On June 21st, 2011, I lost it at Fair oaks Mall in Fairfax, Virginia in Forever 21 store around 6:15-6:30pm. While I was trying on rings, I placed it on the table next to me, and when I realized my phone was gone after I purchased my items it was already gone. I literally searched the store for two hours and was out of luck. If anyone seen someone or knows who might have done this, please contact me through [email protected] and reward will be given. It's iphone 4 white with a cover that's pink on the sides and gray plastic on the back. I know how powerful internet is, and hope the person who took my phone realize how immortal thing she/he have conducted and put a suffering on a person.
    After spending more than 24hours trying to get my iphone back on my hands, I got to a point that everything is useless and that I have no hope. So I decided to share with others who might be in same or will end up in similar situation.
    I did not have Find My Iphone App downloaded on it since it's been only 3weeks since I bought it and never thought it would be stolen like that, I wasn't able to located it (the ******* who stole it turned it off anyways).
    I have reported it as a crime to a police, left alternative number at the store, but still nothing.
    I have suspended my number from AT&T so that the ******* won't be able to use it.
    I just want to advise others in future if they ever lose their iphones:
    1. search CAREFULLY. Trace where you might have left it.
    2. if you have find my iphone app on it, trace that.
    2. Report it to a police
    3. call your phone service and see if they can do anything with insurance
    4. if you bought your iphone with a credit card, the credit card's insurance might be able to refund you but this varies among the cards.
    5. really, Apple will not do anything about your stolen/lost iphone.
    6. JUST DON'T LOSE IT.
    personally, I bought it with capital one card and was hoping that I could get money back at least since it's a big company and was assure that I had the insurance to cover it, and I found out theft/stolen/loss a product insurance was only for Mastercards professional and bussiness and not for Platinum with regular Mastercard.

    This would only work if you have iOS5 installed, and you have activated the "Find my iPhone" feature.
    If so, you clould log into iCloud and locate or remotely lock or wipe your phone.

  • Does your iphone 5 white leak light?

    Ok so I was reading some posts that says that the iPhone 5 white leaks light on the right had side by the power button so I went to a dark room to see if mine did this to and low and behold it does, I'm so very disappointed and ****** off, I'm afraid to even go get the swapped out because the swapped phone could have the same issue.

    Wow I can't believe they didn't help u, I'm going today to take Genius Bar to hopefully get it replaced, this is a defect and they have to replace it for you, have u tried calling apple care? I did and they were going to ship me a replacement by mail but as soon as they said that they have to put a hold on my credit card for the cost of the phone I was like no thanks, they wanted to put a charge of $800 and then would put the money back into my account once they received the damaged phone so I said I didn't feel comfortable and would go to the Genius Bar.  How do I show  the genius guy that it leaks light when u can only see it in the dark?  I'm debating if I should actually get mine mailed cause at least I can't test it out in a dark room.  I hope you get ur issue resolved and keep me posted on what happened:)

  • Trade in iphone 5 black 16 gb to iphone 5 white 32 gb?

    I have a iPhone 5 Black, 16 gb. & I want to upgrade it to a iPhone 5 White, 32 gb. How can I do that?

    There is no upgrade option (unless there is one through your carrier, in which case, you would have to find out from them).

  • URGENT iPhone 5 white black screen???

    URGENT ANSWERS? iPhone 5was knocked out of my hand onto the floor, had a silicone casing however the screen flickers when I touch it and all that comes up is a black or white screen. Only got the phone in January tried rebooting it and it's fine for a few minutes then goes back to white screen, how do I fix this?

    While the phone is on and in the "black screen", press and hold the home button and the power button at the same time until you see the Apple logo appear. Then release them. This resolved my issue I was having with this problem. Good luck.

  • How can I change iPhone 3GS with iPhone 4 White ?, How can I change iPhone 3GS with iPhone 4 White ?

    I am using a iPhone 3GS at the moment...and I would like to change that phone with iPhone 4 White.. so.. where can I change and how ?...

    Not sure I understand the question... you want to swap your phone out?
    If that's the case, depending on who your provider is, and where you originally purchased the phone, you should probably begin your discussion there, and find out if you have an upgrade or exchange option.
    If you've purchased the iPhone 4, and just want to sync and start using THAT phone instead? And have all of your apps, and music moved over there? Well... we can do that!
    If you can clarify the question, I'll narrow down the answer!
    Thanks...

  • IPhone 4 White: 3G Not Working (UK)

    Brand new iPhone 4, white model, the carrier (Network) is O2 (UK)
    3G was working fine yesterday, I have checked o2 website and i should be recieving 3g in my area, but it is not working, whenever I even try and get on the internet It will not allow me to connect, both 3G and Mobile Data is turned on. Any suggestions?
    Could it be anything to do with the new update (iOS 5.1)

    I had a clear screen protector on too... but thats not the cause.
    I went to apple yesterday and swapped for a black one instead..
    they admitted the defective product was due to hardware issue...
    so i would suggest you to go to apple directly..

  • HT1657 I downloaded a movie from iTunes on my iPhone 4S, went out of the wifi zone and now my movie is no where to be found. I can't find it on my iPhone, Mac or iPad. Where is it?

    I downloaded a movie from iTunes on my iPhone 4S, went out of the wifi zone and now my movie is no where to be found. I can't find it on my iPhone, Mac or iPad. Where is it?

    Sounds like the movie didn't finish downloading before the Wi-Fi signal dropping ...
    Try re downloading. You won't be charged again.

  • Hi, I have an iphone 3GS from HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out! When I checked my backup file in Outlook Express it was also wiped out!!! What can I do now?

    Hi, I have an iphone 3GS purchased in HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out. When I checked my backed up file in Outlook Express, it was also wiped out during the synchronization. I tried to restore from backup on iTunes but still, the contact was not there anymore. I have contacted your HK Apple Hotline and talked to a technical support called TIMMY LO, he said there is nothing to do with them and he refused to provide any support to recover my contact, he even said I should try to pay extra money to 3rd party supplier and see what they can do to my iphone, despite the fact that this could be caused by the pre-mature release of 4.3.3 when a bug still hasn't been fixed. I am very disappointed at Apple's service, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer of iphone / ipod touch in the past few years. I need an official reply from Apple on this! How can Apple be so irresponsible to their own firmware failure??

  • HT1209 My Itunes Library and iPhone have fallen out of sync on music over the yearsare - how can I compare my itunes library with my Iphone  to see what songs are missing from my library so I can then bring my Library up to date

    My Itunes Library and iPhone have fallen out of sync on music over the yearsare - how can I compare my itunes library with my Iphone  to see what songs are missing from my library so I can then bring my Library up to date

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

    It could be that someone has accessed your AppleID/iCloud account with out authorization. Or it could be that you forgot to remove find my iPhone form a phone that your previously owned.
    Change your Apple ID password.

  • As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. What causes this?

    As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app/site I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). This is when I'm Internet online. If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. Some of the possibilities I'm guessing are: glitches in my Verizon FiOS Wi-Fi providership?; staying too long on a site that's waiting for me to finish and "Submit"?; computer hardware prob (yikes, I hope not! It's brand new). Any ideas out there?

    When this 'white-out' occurs, is the display 100% white with no error message and no menu bar?
    Does this occur when you are using Wi Fi or connected to the Internet via the Ethernet cable?
    Ciao.

  • My iphone 4 conked out.it was not receiving signal so I switched on and off. But instead of taking me to the apps page it showed ios6 and asked me to go to itunes for an update.instead of updating it asked me to restore settings.now only logo appears

    my iphone 4 conked out.It was not receiving cellular signal so I switched off and on.After switching on instead of taking me to the first page of apps it showed me ios6 tab and asked me to connect to itunes where it asked me to restore settings. which i did and waited for an hour and a half and later realised its got stuck. Now the phone does not respond at all and shows the logo and a half complete bar.Is there a solution to this, if at all. Am without a phone here ppl.Thanks

    Did you do the update via iTunes?
    If you are only getting the logo will want to try to see if can get device in recovery mode and try the restore process via iTunes again.
    If you are still unable to get the device to restore will need a repair
    Out of Warranty will cost
    Just a heads up
