Hello, noyz23il.
I would agree that this is a unique issue. I have attached an article that goes over basic troubleshooting that may help. In this article, see the sections referring to display, camera and blank white screen. If this does not resolve the issue, please see the last section regarding "issue not resolved".

Iphone 3gs shows white screen for a second and reboots.

While I play games, watch videos or do anything, the iphone displays a totally white screen for less than a second and then it reboots. After this it starts normally and then this all happens again after about 10-20 mins.
Plz give me any suggestions to fix it. What is the problem? any hardware prob??

Instructions to get the phone back working temporary.. till there is a real fix.
1. turn off the phone
2. fire up iTunes
3. press and hold the home button, plug in the cable, hold till you get to see the recovery mode
4. iTunes will the allow to choose restore the phone back to 5.0.1 ( no other choice)
5. iTunes will then ask you to choose which previous backup to would like to recover.
(note: please do not reboot your phone unless necessary, i realize at times after reboot, it goes back to sq1)

My Desktop pc & mobile not play any video and in my laptop no problem

i'm using 30 version of firefox in my Laptop, Desktop & Mobile also but in my Desktop pc & mobile i'm unable to play any video and in my laptop no problem.
So if the prob. in my network so it will be not possible.
i think like earlier some time ago flashgot will stop working in firefox now this same mistake is accures again for video.
N yes i've updated my flash player, shockwave, java etc...

With the last Firefox upgrade, some plugins are no longer
enabled until you enable it.
Open the Add-ons Manager by
Pressing the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by; '''Tools > Add-ons.'''
Hot key; '''<Control> ''(Mac: <Command>)'' <Shift> A)'''
On the left side of the page, select Plugins.
BTW; At the top right is a link to check your plugins.

I can't download any video or software from firefox, or play any video and has reinstalled firefox.

I can't download any video or software from Firefox, or play any video and has reinstalled Firefox. I have upgraded to FF 23 and still have the same problems.

Did you remove both older Flash plugins and installed the latest version of the Flash plugin.
# Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700
# Shockwave Flash 11.6 r602
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32).
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Go to Solution.

Hey Mari_43,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Since the white screen is still occuring after a reload of the device software, I suggest contacting your network service provider for repair options.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Apple iPhone 3GS 8GB Blank Screen While Updating to IOS4.3.3

Hi have iPhone 3GS 8GB. This phone I got as replacement from Apple for my Previous iPhone which got stuck in recovery. This replacement phone was working on IOS 4.2.1.
A few days back Apple has released IOS 4.3.3 and while updating my iPhone via iTunes, there was some error message.
I tried it again and different different errors keep on coming. Now my Phone is totally blank. When I plug the Phone in Computer I can listen to USB Plugin sound coming from computer but nothing is coming on screen. It seems iPhone is stuck in DFU Mode.
Also when I plug the phone in computer iTunes POPs up and says phone is in recovery mode and when I restore the phone error 1600 keeps on coming.
I am 100% sure there is some software issues with the phone as computer responds when I plug in and Plug out the phone (USB Sound). Can any wise person on this Group help me out with the same.
Regards,
Anshuman

are you able to see the apps on the home screen? If so, it's most likely an issue with your carrier
This is also an issue that can appear on devices that have been modified in an unauthorized manner (not judging, just saying)

Flash player show black screen on playing streaming video.

Hello All,
I'm using Bitgravity live stream in flash AS3.0. The video stream work pecfectly in FP 9. I have recently migrated to Flash CS5. I have published my player in Flash player 10. It provide better rendering and high video quality, almost like HD. But there is some issue while playing video stream in FP 10. I''m using netstream. publish(). method. Some time the Flash player show totaly black screen and but audio still plays. If we press F5 on browser it may come or may not work fine.
Case1: Customer 1 using FP 10 turn off Hardware rendering and black out screen ploblem solved.
Case2: Customer 2 using FP 10 truned on Hardware rendering the Black out screen problem resolved.
I'm confused with the solution that i should provide to my customer, since it is very difficult to debug the error. For the time i have switched back to FP9 + CS4.
How can we determine the issue. ?
Does GPU capability is having some pipeline issue with decoding the incoming H.264 packets.with acc audio? Or the stream have some issue that flash is unable to recognize at first time?
Thanks,
Ajitpal

Sounds like you've got malware alright.
As far as image burning, I ONLY use Roxio Media Creator, or PowerISO to burn images to disk. Nero will do it, but I can't run it with Roxio (conflicts).
You need to do thorough virus scan and cleanup.

Movie shows grey screen while playing.

I recently bought ( well, bought last night) Twilight in HD. I let it download overnight and when I went to play it, it only shows a grey screen. Since I have both versions of the movie, ( HD, and
SD) I played a little bit of the SD version ( which is still downloading. I had the download paused so the HD could download faster.) it played fine. Also, there is no sound in the HD version, although iTunes shows it is playing. Please help?

Hello Rae Jay,
You will need to delete "AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext" to get HD video working again.
However, to do this you must have administrative access to the system.
Do the following:
Open the "Macintosh HD", i.e. your hard drive, and navigate to go "System" folder, then to "Library" folder, then to "Extensions" folder and drag the "AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext" file to the Trash. Next, you will be prompted to authenticate, type in your password and press return.
Restart your computer and try playing the HD movie again.

I updated my iphone hardware to 4.3.2 but there was an unknown problem of installation. Since then, my iphone only show the screen to connect to Itunes and my itunes doesn't recognize my iphone. What can I do to, at least, put back the old version

I can't use it anymore! Please help me, I can't live without my iphone!

There should have been an error message with an error number. Knowing that number is all-important in identifying the problem. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

White screen when playing StageVideo iPad 2, can this be controlled?

Hello,
I am currently building an application where the background of the application is a looping video using the StageVideo API. The video plays fine and runs smoothly, however there are cases where the video will get interrupted (and as a result displays a white screen). One of these cases include double tapping the home button on the iPad, attempting to switch apps. When the screen slides up to reveal the currently available apps, the screen video stops playing and the screen goes white. Another case is when the iPad receives a notification or alert. When this happens, the video stops playing and the screen goes white. Finally, I have tested this on two iPads (one Verizon and one AT&T). When entering any view that has this video playing, the AT&T iPad 2 would quickly flash a white screen before playing the video. However, on the Verizon iPad this does not happen.
I would like to know if there is any way that this can be controlled so that I can produce consistent behavior across devices. Would setting persistNavigatorState to true help? Or should I be listing for some sort of status on the StageVideo instance?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I actually figured out what was wrong. On my "viewDeactivate" event, I was cleaning up all object references (including the StageVideo instance). So everytime viewDeactivate was dispatched, the blank white screen would show up.
For anyone who runs into this situation (on the iPad), you should know that the viewDeactivate event is dispatched not only when moving between views, but also when alerts (or notifications) popup, when going back to the Home screen, and also when you double tap the Home button for the multitasking bar. Likewise the viewActivate event will fire when you return from any of the above mentioned states on the iPad, not just when moving between views. Knowing this helped me to fix the issue I was facing with StageVideo.
Hope this helps someone.

It was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
In order to allow it to be used on a different carrier, the phone was hacked or jailbroken. An unauthorized modification was made to the phone. That modification has damaged the phone. You can not get support for it here or from Apple.

My ipod restarted while sofwear update .now its just showing white screen

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
