IPhone 4S- distorted yellow screen, shutting off

Hi-
I have an iPhone 4S- about 8 months old. Twice in the past few days, the screen has turned yellow and been distoreted. After about 2 seconds, the entire phone shuts off. The phone takes a while to reboot, but it comes back and it is fine.
Has anyone heard of this?
Thanks!

Hi chunkychild,
If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPhone help the issue?

If not, we may want to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes.

Problem: Screen Shuts Off For No Reason

I have the new iPhone 3G.
My screen shuts off (the screen turns black, but the phone is still on...like if you shut the monitor off on a desktop PC while the tower is still on) randomly which requires me to do a hard reset (holding the sleep button at the top of the phone and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears).
This happens without warning when I do the following:
1. During a call, when I need to use the keypad, put a call on hold, activate speakerphone, etc. the screen will stay black and will not turn on when I touch it. This means I can't even end a call unless the caller hangs up. It is clear that the phone is still on (I can hear the caller at the other end), but I cannot use the screen at all. The screen comes back on when I put the phone back up to my ear, but then when I pull it away to touch the screen it goes black again.
2. After I complete a call, the screen will shut off before I can press the "end call" button. Even after the call is terminated from the other end, I cannot make the screen come back on.
3. After the screen automatically goes to sleep (goes black), I cannot make it come back on.
In all 3 of these instances, I use a hard reset to make the screen come back on. In the first instance that I listed, I have to do a hard reset during the call in order to disconnect the call and get the screen to come back on.
These problems do not happen during/after every single call. For example, sometimes it will be after one call, other times it will be after five calls. It happens without warning and without reason. It is very inconvenient because I am resetting my phone several times a day. When I call customer service lines (for any company), I can't use the keypad to do things such as "Press 1 for English" without doing a hard reset in the middle of the call and calling back several times until it works.
I would really appreciate it if you could offer some advice on how to fix this problem.
Thank you.

I had the same problem, and a very helpful person in another thread suggested I try removing the phone from the case, as it's probably blocking the little sensor next to the earpiece. When it's close to your head, the display shuts off (because, naturally, you're not using the screen). When you take it away, the screen should pop up. If that sensor is blocked, the thing thinks it's still next to your head.
I'm going to experiment without the case for a few days. if it's fixed, great. If it's not, I'm taking the stupid thing back to the Apple Store. We'll see.
Course, if you don't have a case... I'd say either attempt to erase and restore it from within iTunes or get on the horn with Apple support.

My screen shut off but my iPhone is still on. What can I do?

My screen shut off but my iPhone is still on. What can I do?????????

Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Freezing when screen shuts off

When my macbook has its screen shut off, I am unable to turn it back on. It isn't in sleep mode. When I press a button or anything, the screen stays black. Closing the cover when it's like this doesn't put it to sleep. It usually happens when I have a Firefox or Chrome window open. How can I fix this?

My issue is resolved. Turns out I had a defective unit. Swapped it out last night, and it's working fine now. Got the yellow box this time. First one had the black slip cover.
The swap was a bit of a hassle. I had purchased from an Absolute Wireless store in Garner, NC. That's a third party reseller. They made me drive across town to a Sprint service center to have a technician "certify" the defect before they would replace it. And of course, the service center couldn't do the replacement, so I had to drive back across town to point of purchase after they certified it. Best of all, the "certification" process involved me explaining the problem to the technician for about a minute, her agreeing with me that it was a malfunction, and her writing her employee ID on the back of a business card for me to take back to the first store. She didn't even turn the phone on herself. She pretty much said the guy at Absolute Wireless was being a **bleep** in sending me to her in the first place b/c we could have just done this over the phone. PITA. But whatever, I guess that's what I get for not buying directly from Sprint.

FW 31.0.017 problem - Screen shut-off

I have a very irritating problem after the up-grade to 31.0.017.
Closing the slide of my N95 causes a momentary 45 degree scew of the display and then the screen shuts off completely. The phone is still on and recieves calls etc. but the display remains off. Opening the slide (in either dirrection) switches the screen back on again after a short delay.
I have tried numerous resets (hard and soft) and reinsalations (NSU) but no joy!
The old question arises - is there a way to reinstal 30.0.015?
My advice right now is don't update yet if you have an old N95 RM-159 (0534841)!
Anyone experienced the same - any solutions???

Out of curiousity... is the phone being de-branded? De-branding the phone might caused the bugs since HW not supported by FW...

SCREEN SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY

My screen shuts off randomly
at least twice a day.
This is what I get after force quit my laptop and turn on.
I went to apple store and they said just to open up and check what is wrong cost $300~350
and to fix this problem and replace inside (they said it might be the water spilled inside but that never happened so i don't know what he is talking about.....) is going to cost $1240
They already replaced my hardware one or two months ago and I dont get why this suddenly happens when i didnt not even spill water.
i feel like there should be cheaper way.
and the guy who was trying to find out what the problem is with my laptop
seemed like he doesnt know anything about this.
Does anyone recommend some other way so i dont have to waste my $1240+@ with a problem that they are not even sure...?

Mine just started doing this as did a coworker's (she has a 4 not 4S). We're both on Verizon. I just updated to the latest Verizon Carrier settings and then it started so I thought that was the issue, but since you're having this since March, I don't knwo any more. Prior to this though, mine was taking random screenshots when I'd hit the home button.

Why does the screen shut off and I have to re enter my password after a few seconds?

WHen I am using my MacBook Air, writing down some notes, the screen shuts off after a few seconds. I have to re-enter my password again. This is happening every few seconds. It is driving me crazy! Help!

Adjust things here:

I have a mac book nd the screen shuts off depending on the position

my mac book screen shuts off when I open and close it but will stay on in certain position

There is a combination of a circuit, wire, and possibly other parts
that can or may eventually wear out or fail, and these would need
to be replaced. A test & diagnostic check of the computer is a way
to tell more precisely what parts could be involved in a repair.
These can be very detailed to repair and sometimes a take-apart
to fix one possible cause of the problem can cause another one
since there is a likelihood a non-professional DIY may damage it.
{In fact, I have a similar first-edition MacBook1.1 1.83GHz
core duo, with 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, OS X 10.5.8, and
an issue with the display such as you describe; my answer
to fix it, may be to send mine in a box to wegenermedia.}
If the computer can run an external display with an appropriate
video adapter, then you can tell if the problem is only with the
attached internal display and not some other or deeper failure.
Depending on which MacBook model identifier build year, you
may narrow down more detailed troubleshooting techniques or
look through a correct iFixit repair guide for ideas, and ask to
see what the costs would be to have an expert repair it.
•Mac Laptop Repair guides - iFixit:
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Laptop
If you are in an area where an official Apple Store has a Genius
bar you can arrange to have an appointment there to have them
check or diagnose the issue, and estimate parts + cost. In the US
and Canada, an actual diagnostic is a free service; so is estimate.
The Mac computer need not have an AppleCare plan in effect.
Elsewhere, an authorized Apple service provider may offer similar
testing and estimate, but may charge a customary fee for the time.
Hopefully you can narrow down which one you have, from many
built during the 2006 to 2010 era the MacBook was made. They
no longer are; these are different than MB/Pro and MB/Air.
Good luck & happy computing!

Macbrook pro 2010 screen shutting off

Hello,
I have been having a problem with my mac's screen shutting off randomly.
When the screen goes to black the drives keep working and the keyboard stays lit up, but the computer itself has completely frozen.
I know this problem has shown up quite a bit but i'm wondering if theres anything unique about my situation.
I've copied and pasted the data log below:

I would run the AHT but I don't have the disk anymore since I left it in the America and i'm in Japan right now.
I've heard horror stories of people bringing their computer into the apple store to get the logic board replaced and it does nothing so i'm wondering if there are any fixes out there.

I think you are having GPU problems which are relatively common with 2010 15" MBPs. Please refer to this Apple support article:

My iphone 4s keeps glitching and shutting off.

My iphone 4s keeps glitching and shutting off. It only does this when using face time and just started about 3 days ago with no "events" prior to this. Running current update and have not been experiencing any problems. Phone is 7 months old.

Hi chunkychild,
If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPhone help the issue?

If not, we may want to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device 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.

My iPhone 3GS running iOS 6 shuts off with 60% battery. Do any of you know any fixes, or at least what might be causing this?

I'm not sure if the problem has to do with iOS 6, but the problem started around the time I upgraded to it. I was playing Infinity Blade II when my iPhone shut off on me. I tried restarting the phone but once the lock screen showed (The battery was also shown to have a 64% charge), it quickly shut off again until I hooked the phone on the charger. This time the phone showed that it had a low battery and displayed the screen showing the empty battery, but then after a minute, the phone's lock screen appeared again with a 64% charge again. This keeps happening when ANY application is running when the phone is near 68%. The only time I've gone below that is when the phone was left overnight on standby. I have no idea what's going on or what's causing this. I could really use some help.
Also I've already restored my phone, and the problem still persists.

Chris,
Definitely sounds like the battery controller is, at the minimum, out of synch with the battery itself. This can happen from with this type of battery.
But considering the age of the phone, I'd say it is more likely time to replace a nearly bad battery.
At least do this. Run the phone until the battery dies.
Power it up, and run it until it dies again.
If the battery is truly dead, upon power up you should get a large red dead battery symbol in the screen.
At this point plug it in to charge. DO NOT USE IT. Allow it to charge to 100%. This will re-calibrate the battery.
If it does not help, you should replace the battery.

Macbook Pro to Toshiba LCD via HDMI screen shuts off

I have a mid 2010 model Macbook pro hooked up to a 46'' Toshiba LCD tv using the moshi connector and an HDMI cable. Every 25-30 minutes the screen goes black for 2-3 seconds as well the sound turns off. The picture then comes back, usually to shut off again for 2-3 seconds then will remain on for another 25-30 minutes. This happens each time I connect the laptop to the computer.
I have returned the TV, connector, and HDMI cables and the issue has continue to happen. This leaves me thinking that it must be an issue with the computer. Does any one have any tips or ideas as to what I can do to stop this? Its really irritating to try and watch a movie to have the picture cut out periodically.
Thanks

Hi, Guys
I'm using a MacBook Pro with a Samsung 610 52" color monitor for studio video production.
I'm using an adapter to hook up the TV to the Mac via VGA. There are times when I can get the image on the screen, but any time I either start cold or have to change a cable, I get the message "check signal cable." I originally thought the problem was the cable, but changing out three different "known to be good" cables did not resolve. When select system preferences=>displays=>gather windows, the Samsung window with resolution options opens. Nothing as of yet immediately resolves the problem, but if I **** around with it long enough (plug and unplug cables, turn both computer or LCD off and on), eventually I get a picture. And yes, I never had this problem when we were using a Dell Inspiron. Any suggestions or resolutions, please let me know.
