IPhone 3G White screen

I was just half way through writing an email on my iPhone 3G when it suddenly the screen flashed white and i have tried restoring multiple times and going into DFU mode and restoring, still no luck, always the white screen. Is my only option to return this to an apple store for a replacement? and if so, do you think i will need to book an appointment or anything? Thanks.
My iPhone experience was going great until now. I am still able to recive calls and i'm able to awnser them if i tap in the right place, but the screen is still white, and i can hear the unlock sound. Very weird. thanks any way.

Same thing happened to me and guess when? My flight had just landed at Cincinnati airport. A friend whose phone could only make calls but not receive was coming to pick me up. That is when my iphone died showing me a white screen. Worst part, I could not call him even from a public phone because his phone could not receive calls. So there he was, calling me and there I was stranded at the airport until I realized that the white screen did not stop me from taking calls. After some guess work to locate the slider to unlock the phone, I was able to talk to him but it was an awful experience. As soon as I got back home, I checked on youtube for a solution to this problem and found it. YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE LOCK AND HOME BUTTONS TOGETHER FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES THE SCREEN TO GO BLACK. It will be like rebooting your PC after blue screen of death appears. It may not work in all cases but it did, in my case. I hope that I never see the white screen again.

HT201274 how to restore a iphone with white screen

Plug the device into a computer with iTunes and restore it.

IPhone showing white screen

Hey guys.
I bought my iPhone 3GS 3 years ago and it has been working fine ever since.
Yesterday when I got home, it showed a white screen.. So I tried to restart it (hold down sleep button and home button for like 10 seconds) and it became normal again.. untill i pressed sleep button to to lock it.
Whenever i press the home button to open it, the white screen shows up. So basically I cant see anything but I can lock it up by pressing and turning on music etc. however I cant see anything.
Im pretty sure it's not the screen because if I restart (holding the 2 buttons) it will work untill i put it in my pocket again.
I searched all over google and couldten find anyone with this problem who had not cracked their screen (my screen is not cracked or anything).. Tried Apple's helppage and there wasnt much to find either. I have restored and updated to latest iOS without either of it working.. Help please

HI there,
I would recoomend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Display shows a white screen
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the device.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Iphone 4 white screen in music

I have an iphone 4 with 32 gbytes running IOS 5.0.1 (9A405)
The music application is not working.
Every time I press the music icon I get a white screen for about 5 seconds, the application crashes and I am back at the home screen.
My itunes 10.5.3 (3) running on a MacBook Pro 15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009
The Mac OS is: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50)
Does someone has a answer to this problem?

I have had the same problem occur to me several times. I think it may have to do with the size of one of my playlists since I have a very large one that I use as my default one. The problem seems to be with the feature of the iPhone IOS that kills apps that take too long to launch. Here's what may work for you to get the music player working again:
1) Launch the music player and time how long it runs before it quits. (About 15 seconds?)
2) Re-launch and wait until just a few seconds before it would normally quit (about 13 seconds?)
3) Quickly press the home button to go back to the home screen.
4) Double click the home button to open the fast app switcher. Touch the music app and resume the app.
5) Do this a few times or whatever it takes to complete initializing.
These steps seem to get me through my issues. Good luck and let me know if it helps!

Iphone dropped white screen

yesterday I was using my iphone 3g 16gb and dropped it from a height of about 30 inches. There is no external damage but the iphone just has a plain white screen. I tried to make a call to it efter i dropped it and the phone recieved it but in a very fuzzy tone but i could not answer it due to the screen. I now cannot even make a call to it, connect it to itunes or even get it to respond in any way. I am covered under a limited warranty until July. What should i do? What is my best option?
thank you

Accidental damage is not covered under your warranty. Same thing as if you crashed your car, that wouldn't be covered by your auto warranty. Go to an Apple store, make an appointment first, Apple has an out of warranty replacement program, cost is $199. If you do that, the remainder of your current warranty will remain in effect. If you use a third party repair service, your existing warranty will be voided. Apple does not repair phones(except for screen replacement), only replaces them with a refurbished unit.

IPhone 6 White Screen, Can't Restore from MacBook Pro

My iPhone 6 was working just fine this morning and even let me add ringtones onto it. However, I recently opened Instagram and then the phone started to act slow. The volume panel got stuck onto the screen and then my whole screen went white. I can't restore from my computer because it always tell me to change the Find My iPhone settings from my phone, which I can't do because of the all-white screen. Despite the stillness of the screen, it makes the lock and screenshot noise. I got my phone in late February and I recently updated it about a week ago. I really need to use my phone because of school and appointments. Is there anything I can do to make the screen work? I haven't dropped it, let it near water or had it 'jail broken'.

Hey masterofpigeons,
Sorry to hear that you cannot see anything on your iPhone’s screen. I would make sure that you have a back up and once that is confirmed, I would recommend a restore by putting your iPhone into recovery mode. Once in recovery mode, iTunes will allow you to restore and once the restore is complete you can enter in your password to get passed Activation Lock

Iphone 4s white screen not responding

Hi,
So basically my phone got a bit of water damage a couple months ago - it was working fine for about 2 months, then I switched it off one day and it wouldn't switch back on; I was getting a white screen with black edges, that slowly come in so the whole screen becomes black (this can take at least a day), then for love nor money, the phone won't switch on. Siri will occasionally talk to me if I hold down the home button, but that's the only response I get (and I have tried switching the phone off and blindly swiping the screen to properly switch it off that way, it doesn't work), and then after a few days (the longest I've had to wait is 2 weeks) the phone will suddenly switch back on. However, even once it's on, the screen flickers constantly and I can't use my camera as that just crashes the phone. I know it's all because of the water damage, and Apple won't be able to fix it without a hefty fee, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and has any kind of solution?! I've tried literally everything I can think of, and while I try and not let my phone die at all, and have my powerbank on me all the time, sometimes it just happens!
Anyway, I don't think there's much anyone can do to help, but any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Sorry, but if you want a working phone again, there is nothing more you can do than to choose the Out-Of-Service-Warranty option to get the device replaced by a refurbished phone. The water damaged the phone too much, and the symptoms might even get worse, especially if the phone is still powered on.

Iphone 5 White Screen Warm on Left Side, Cooler on Right Side.

I got my iphone 5 almost a week ago. Right away I noticed that the right side looked slightly bluer than the left, with it being coolest at the upper right. When a banner pops up at the top it is real noticeable, when reading text on a background of a white screen the right side looks greyer or bluer. It is slight, but when reading left to right and back to the left it is annoying. My family is not bothered much by it, but I guess they don't have to look at it. Also seems to reflect less light on the right side. I have been trying to ignore it, but I am not sure I will be able to as it always catches my eyes when reading web pages.
I am thinking of going to a genius bar and asking for a new phone. What is the policy for replacements? Do they readily replace phones for issues like this? Do they replace a 1 week phone with another new one or a refurb? Is this a reason for a replacement? Is this a common problem? My son's iphone 5 is fine, and my wife's 4 and my son's and my iphone 4 did not have this slight variance in their screens.

I have the same problem but mine slightly cooler on the top left cornder.

New iPhone 3GS white screen on wake up.

Hi, the wifes new iPhone 3GS keeps showing a white screen when she tries to wake it up. Should I restore it? If so will we loose all the info on it?

I got it by a restore error when i tried to downgrade and it is now totally unusable.
Downgrading the phone is not supported, (for good reason as you found out) and no support for hacked iPhones can be given in this forum. You're on your own.

Iphone 3GS white screen, still after reset. I DIDNT GET IT WET?

I hit a dirt jump on my bmx bike with my phone in my pocket and fell. Not to hard but i guess hard enough to make the screen turn white ;[. So after googling the issue i found out i should try to reset it. After restating the phone several times the white screen still stayed there. It sometimes had faint Rainbow vertical lines. I can still use my phone because it vibrates and rings when i call it. The touch screen still works to. But the ***** screen is white. So i was thinking if i replaced it with a new digitizer and lcd screen *http://cgi.ebay.com/iPhone-3Gs-full-LCD-digitizer-screen-replacement-/2507962423 17?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a649ef58d* it might work. Am i right? If i drop 50 bucks on this and its still broken im gonna be ***** pist.
The lcd screen doesn't seem broken, when i disassembled the phone there wasn't any obvious tears or scratches.

how would you recondmend selling it for parts? And do you honestly think its worth a try buying that item i linked in my first post? i can get a gold back housing and gold metal trim thing for cheap. Would those new aditions make it sell for more and if so would i get profit over the money i spent in parts?

IPhone 3G White Screen of Death Problem

So a month or two ago, my deactivated (had no cell service, still worked for games and such) iPhone 3G got a white screen. It would go from that screen to black if I pressed the lock button. So after looking around on the Internet, I still found no solution. Most just said, press the lock and home buttons for 10 seconds, and some said do that but also press volume up. None of this worked. When I did try the lock and home buttons, it would give me a black screen, and go back to white. I really do not want to have to buy an iPod Touch and waste my money, if there is a solution to this.

Well, since the phone number is in Greece & the support page is for Greece, I would guess Greek .

IPhone 4 white screen of death?

I just bought this iPhone 4 and it was working fine but still running ios 6 and the wifi was working. I restored it and the wifi was no longer working and what I mean by that is, it wouldn't let me slide the wifi to on. I gave it to my girlfriend and she was using it fine and then it started messing up. It was freezing, running slow, getting stuck on boot screen. Now I left it on charge last night and woke up and it wouldn't even turn on. It finally managed to start up and was displaying the apple logo for about 5-10 minutes then it goes to a white screen. It just keeps going back from white screen to apple logo every now and then and its quite irritating. If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated.
Solutions I've tried: Restoring the phone, resetting to factory settings.

try to press home bttn and the turn off bttn(both together) for a minite.....then when the iphone start up.....cnct with the itunes....and press shrnz or restore.
if that doesn't work go to the apple store that u just bought the phone and required a brand new (ur privilege)
don't worry because some people have a strange first experience with the iphone...give it bck and get a new for free...

HELP IPhone Solid White Screen?!?

So my phone froze up and has a solid white screen. I have read other posts where people all it the "screen of death" My phone is still under warranty so I sent it to have it repaired. But Apple is saying they will not repair it as they diagnosed accidental misuse or damage. WHAT ON EARTH CAN I DO?? Can I dispute it?

first try doing a restore others are having issues with the moisture sensor and if it is so sensative that sweat will set it off apple will find no one wanting their phone first the software mess now the sensors and nokia lawsuit they better fix this mess we paid a lot of money for thease phones and just as their financial gains were met they can easily lose if customers are unhappy and company that wants to stay ontop has to have #1 good customer service #2 good product problem free #3 good warranty and thats just good buisness sense.

IPhone Solid White Screen

I had been having some software issues with my iPhone and decided to restore it using iTunes. The phone reset and started syncing all of my apps and contacts back on. I walked away and came back about ten minutes later and the screen had turned a solid white. The phone was non-responsive and was not showing up in iTunes. So I hard reset it using the power and home buttons, the screen went black. Now the phone will not turn on. I tried plugging it into my iMac again and it won't recognize the phone, nor will the phone respond. I also tried plugging it into a power outlet and the phone still won't respond. Please help!

My Iphone screen went solid white last night and i was worried that i had killed it because i was at a pool. However, later i felt the phone vibrating so i picked it up and accidentally swiped across the screen (apparently where the unlock slide is) and i started to hear someone talk on the speaker phone. Now i can receive calls and guess my way to my ipod. So the screen itself is either the part that is messing up or the part of the electronics that controls the imaging. I have tried all the different functions i can to reset it: reset, reboot, hard reset and none of them work making me think that its not software but hardware. Going to genius bar today to have it looked at. I'll update this as soon as i get an answer.
