Iphone 3GS screen brightness

Sometimes, i noticed that when i press the home button to unlock my phone, the screen is dim rather than your personal setting. I set my brightness bar at the middle. So I have to press sleep button again. then, the screen is not dim anymore. Is this normal ?

I'm having the exact same issue. I noticed it recently after I upgraded to 3.1 and did a full restore. I can't say what it is but it's definitely annoying.
I wake my iPhone, the screen is noticeably dim, I put it back to sleep, wake it again, the brightness is then correct.
Help!

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?

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!

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.

How much £ dose the iphone 3gs screen cost

how much £ dose the iphone 3gs screen cost

At my Apple Store they still will replace the iPhone 3GS front screen assembly for $99 US. In UK it will be a lower number in £. See if your Apple Store does this. At worst you are looking at a perfect Replacement iPhone 3GS for £ 126.44 at UK Apple Store. Make Genius reservation first to avoid long wait.

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).

My iphone 3gs screen is blank

i need help my iphone 3gs screen is blank
and will not turn on

i have in the meanwhile come to the understanding that the phone is or needs to be put into "DFU", dfu is the process when you hold the power down for 10 seconds then hold the power and home button down for 15 seconds and then release the power and hold home for 15 seconds, this will reset your device and bring u to the connect to itunes screen.
TRy that lets see if it works.
I Still get an error -1 when trying to restore?
nowhere on the troubleshooting site / error codes?
Does anyone else know?

My iPhone 3gs screen freezes

my iPhone 3gs screen freezes

Greetings cheersone,
From what I can gather from your post, it sounds like your device is frozen or not responding. I have located article which may help you resolve this:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
Restart your device.
If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,
BobbyD

Iphone 3GS: screen resolution problems

Hi all,
My iphone 3GS' screen resolution spontaneously changed:
Its like the resolution is too high for the measuremens of the screen.
This way, like half a centimeter on each side of the screen (Top, bottom and sides) can not be viewed...
How can I solve this?
Thanks!

Sorry, already figured out it was the "triple finger double tap zoom" :-)
Thanks for the space

Hello Everyone! Iphone 3GS Screen problem, any ideas?

Hello Guys I would just like to ask a question about my iphone 3GS the screen brightness touch is all okay but i seem to have a problem with the contrast which is especially noticeable when trying to take pictures. The best way i can describe it is the dark parts and shadowy of the image/photo are really dark! Its similiar in way if you had your laptop with you and you were looking straight at the screen but then you tilt the screen back and you stay in the same position certain parts appear dark! Can anyone help me with this because i know the 3gs can take briliant photos! Many thanks Oli x

Try taking a picture and then emailing it to someone. Then look at the pic on a computer.
If the contrast of the pic is the same on the computer, it's not an issue with your screen, it's an issue with the camera. It might not be an issue with the camera at all, it doesn't do well in low-light situations.
That's all I can think of to say...

Dust under Iphone 3GS screen ... or dead pixel?

I picked up my Iphone 3GS from my local AT&T store this morning. I was very excited, as this is my first Iphone product. Almost immediately, I noticed a small black dot about 2/3 of the way up from the bottom of the screen, and smack-dab in the middle (horizontally). At first I thought it was a dead pixel (I have a long history with these and they drive me nuts). However, after further examination, I think this may be something else (a spec of dust perhaps). I say this because the dot is visible even when the phone is powered off. Furthermore, under bright light (when the screen is off), the dot appears to cast a "shadow" on the screen. What should I do? Is there a good way to determine if this is a dead pixel or dust? To get the phone serviced, should I return to my local AT&T store, or go to my local Apple store?

My first had dead pixels, the second had dust. They on the second one wouldn't let me switch it out because I am too picky. Well, when I've spend close to 10k with apple over the last year, I think I have every right considering the price they command on their products.
I wouldnt go to a dealership and buy a band new car that had had one or two rims curbed and take it home happy. It is still driveable, and nothing that would ruin the car but you get the point.
So now I'm on the phone trying to have them ship one out to me. I wish the apple store by me would get new management.
