IPhone Display turning itself on and off

Hey Guys,
I'm totally in love with my iPhone 3G but since I got it replaced by Apple (warranty), I discovered that in sleep mode the display randomly turns itself on and off again.
"On" in this case does not mean displaying any content nor the lockscreen, but mysterious black stripes that run vertical.
This occurs every few minutes and is really annoying me.
I tried to completely erase all content and set it up as a new iPhone but the stripes are still there (on 3.1.2) as they were on 3.1.0.
Is there any solution for this or do I have to call Apple Support again?
Greets,
Stefan

If a Restore didn't fix it, it's a hardware problem - contact Apple.

    do a back up and restore your device to factory settings using itunes and that should resolve the issue.

  • Help! iPhone freezing, not responding, and turning itself on and off randomly.

    Over the last few days, my iPhone has been going crazy.  It all started when I turned on my phone one morning, and the ringer did not work.  It told me that headphones were in when I tried to turn the volume up.  Later in the day, I plugged my iPhone into my iHome.  It then "died" and would not turn on.  I tried everything (hard reboot, dfu mode, plugging in wall and computer, etc.) and nothing would turn it on.  The next day, I tried to turn it on, and to my surprise, it loaded the "low battery" icon.  i plugged it in, and it turned on.  It then randomly shut off ten minutes later.  It would not turn on, but it allowed me to put it into dfu mode.  I downloaded the os and attempted to restore the iPhone.  It shut itself off several times and took many attempts until I finally got it restored.  Now, it has been turning itself on and off.  I got it to turn on, and I used it until it froze.  It shut itself off and reboot.  It has continued to do this over and over again.  I am concerned because my iPhone is out of warranty, and I live far away from anywhere where I can get it fixed.  I have no idea what happened to my phone as I did not drop it or expose it to water.  Is there any way to fix this?  Is there a way to find what part may be broken?  If not, what is the cheapest and fastest method of fixing this and is anyone else having the same problems?  My phone is currently unusable because I can not turn it on (it only turns on randomly) and it freezes and shuts off a few minutes after it turns on.

    Does it power back on by itself straight after turning off? If so I would probably suggest that either the charging port is faulty or maybe it is partially blocked with debris causing a possible short circuit across the pins. Try giving it a clean out first with something none metallic and might just do the trick.

  • My iPhone is continually turning itself on and off, how do I solve?

    It's turned itself off and then when I tried to turn it back on it continually turns itself n and off! How do I solve it?

    Restore the phone in iTunes, first using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone without using a backup.  If this still happens after restoring as new, there is a hardware problem than needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

    Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!

  • IPhone 3GS randomly turns itself on and off, even when charging

    My iPhone 3GS 8GB keeps turning itself on and off randomly like every 5 minutes. It does this even when charging. I've had my phone for a year and haven't had any real problems out of it until now. It died on me last night so I plugged it into my charger. It came on then 5 mins later went off by itself and turned back on. It did this all night. I finally unplugged it to see if that had something to do with it, but it didn't. Anyone have any insight on this or ideas on how to fix this? I'd really appreciate it!
    Thanks!

  • How do I stop my iPod from turning itself on and off??

    My button on my IPod has been broken for a while now but that's fine. But just recently my iPod started turning itself on and off as if I'm pressing the lock button. This problem is VERY annoying. If anyone knows how to fix this PLEASE help.

    Do you have a case on it that covers the power button?
    If not, the power button stuck down.

    My ipod nano (7th gen) seems to be stuck in a loop of turning itself on and off, tried rebooting it but after a while it just starts it again?

    Hi altofts,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can try resetting and restoring your iPod nano to see if that helps with the restart loop:

  • Itunes (11.1.4)  has suddenly started turning itself on and off. Whats going on?

    iTunes has suddenly started turning itself on and off on my iMac (OS 10.9.1). Happens with streaming radio and with music on my own playlists. When it kept stopping during streaming radio, I tried a playlist and this kept freezing (going off) as well. So I turned iTunes off but did not close the application. Now it keeps turning itself on, playing fragments. What is going on?

    Doing a bonjour repair using "uninstall program" on windows 7 resolved this for me, the AirPlay icon came back in iTunes and Home sharing showed up on my Apple Tv 3 again. :-)

  • Why does wifi turn itself on and off since upgrading to Mavericks?

    I am able to use ethernet to get online but wifi turns itself on and off. If I turn it on automatically it connects to the network (both at work and at home) and then it turns wifi off again. If I just leave it alone wifi automatically turns on, connects to the network, and then turns itself on again. This was not happening prior to upgrading to Mavericks yesterday.

    Have you tried a SMC/PRAM reset ?
    Try backing up and then deleting this file:
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    from this folder:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
    Now reboot and check if the issue is resolved.
    If that does not work, Can you post your system.log file messages when the issue occurs and I can take a look and help.

  • HT1430 I am trying to charge my iPad but it won't charge & keeps turning itself on and off

    I am trying to charge my iPad but it won't charge & keeps turning itself on and off

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • My ipad 2 keeps turning itself on and off, why?

    Alright, so I finally decided to update my ipad. I went to settings, pressed update and the ipad screen told me to connect it to itunes. I connected it to itunes, and it said i had to restore my system. It supposedly updated, but while it was restoring, I accidently took the usb off. Ever since then my ipad has been forever turning on and off, starting with the black screen, brightening up showing the apple sign, and back to the black screen again in a never ending cycle. I've tried taking it off regularly and it fails to work. I've tried plugging it back into my computer and itunes, and it doesnt show up there for some apparent reason. The only reason I could get it to stop is when I hold down the power and home button together, and it turns off.  Whenever i plug it back into anything, as in the wall charger or computer, it then again repeats its never ending cycle. Can someone please help me out? I've had this ipad for about 5 months now, and have never experienced a problem like this.
    Thanks.

    Try turning off the iphone by tolding the sleep button and slide to power off.  Then turn it on again by holding the said button.  Sounds like a glitch and the iphone needs a revamping.
