IPhone freaking out after restarts

Ok took a short video of the phone and what it is doing..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heSGyXo-tr4
It continues this behavior after a full factory reset but only after the phone has been turned off then back on.  The display seems to work, it won't move from the loading screen via a single touch but only via a swipe motion.  Once you can see the screen single touchs do what they are suppose to. 
Thinking this phone is heading back to verizon tomorrow, just ***** had the phone for less then 2 hours.

That is a very nice video. Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off", let the iPhone restart itself.

  • Iphone requires password after restarting??

    Hi.
    My iPhone broke so my brother gave me his old 4s. I got it and it was jailbroken so i did a complete factory reset and updated it to the latest firmware. I gave it a full charge and the next day once it went to about 80% it turned off randomly, i tried turning it on, sometimes it would other times i would need to put it in charge again. It would always say once i had turned it on "Iphone requires password after restarting" so i assumed it was possibly a battery problem. So i bought a battery from ebay with decent ratings and replaced it. The iPhone no longer turns off every 10 minutes, but the battery does only last about 3-4 hours and usually once it goes to 15 or below it will turn off. Any idea what could be causing this?

    I know it is normal, but is constantly restarting. As I said, this problem was happening every 10 minutes making the phone completely impractical before i replaced the battery, so changing the battery has actually made my phone usable and I actually get a good solid few hours on it whereas before i wasn't.
    This would surely indicate that it is a problem other than the battery and its not really a question of the quality of the battery I have bought as the problem was persisting with the stock apple battery before hand.

  • Freak-out after system restoration

    Hi everybody! This is my first post here, you all seem very helpful and I hope you can help me because I'm freaking out a little.
    This summer, my hard drive and motherboard got fried and replaced. Happily, I had everything backed-up on an external hard drive, it was just geographically far from me. I just got back to it (about a month later), and successfully restored all my missing files and apps. The only catch is now I can't find anything I had saved during that month between hard drive replacement and restoration, including some pretty important photos. Is there somewhere I'm not looking? Or did I do something horribly wrong? Any help you can throw my way would be incredibly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Sara

    Hey guys, thanks for the quick responses. I was out of town for the weekend, and now I'm back and freaking out less but still curious. To answer/clarify some points:
    How did you backup your stuff to an external HDD?
    Did you use a backup utility? If so, which?
    I used Apple's "Backup" application, which I had to download again to access my info off of the hard drive.
    Did you backup/clone the entire HDD, the Users Folder or individual files?
    I backed up my users folder, a few applications I don't still have the installation disks for, and my Word, Photoshop, itunes, and iphoto library folders, I believe.
    So, both the HDD and the logic board were replaced. Right? In other words, same computer, only >now with replaced logic board and HDD?
    Yep. Exactly.
    successfully restored all my missing files and apps.
    How? What method did you use?
    I found basically the instructions how to do it in Backup Help, except for some probably critical information. It told me to click on the links below for restoring files to iphoto or itunes, except those links didn't exist anywhere.
    In retrospect, I think I figured out what I did wrong. They give you two options, one involving replacing missing files and the other involving overwriting files. I took that to mean that if any duplicate files existed on both my computer and the hard drive, it would replace the existing ones with those from the hard drive. However, I think it really meant that it overwrote all of the information on my computer with the information being imported from the hard drive. If this is really what I did, can any of that information be retrieved?
    OK, so after the HDD was replaced you were working on the computer and saved some photos on >it, is that right? Then, since you restored your backed up data you cannot find those photos and >other stuff you saved before restoring the old data, is that right?
    Yep. That's this gist of it. I hope this info clarifies my possible boneheadedness. Thanks again for the help.

  • IPhone keeps rebooting after restart

    Whenever I try to shut off and restart my IPhone it stays on the apple logo start up screen for about 5 minutes then goes to the screen to slide to unlock and freezes so I cannot unlock the phone. Then after about 3 minutes it goes to a black screen with the round waiting symbol on it, then back to the slide to unlock screen again, then black waiting screen, then it reboots itself again and starts the process over. The first time this happened it went through the cycle 3 times. The next time I waited 2 hours and for it to work and finally went into itunes to restore it. I try holding down home and on/off buttons and it reboots it again, but nothing happens. So today my phone just restarted on its own when I was in Safari and after about 20 minutes I took it to the Verizon store to see what they can do about it. First they said to contact Apple support, then a guy held down the home and on/off button and then it unfroze. I told him I already tried that 2 or 3 times today since this problem started, but he didn't care because he was too mad he missed out on a sale to "help" me. So the phone works now, but I know if I just try to restart it again the phone will just go through the rebooting problem all over again. I have not dropped the phone and I thought restoring the phone would fix it if it was a software glitch, so I'm thinking it may be a hardware issue so what should I do if Verizon does not want to help me? I've had it less than a year so I would like to get it fixed before the warrently runs out.

    If no change after restoring the iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup, call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
    Verizon doesn't exchange iPhones under Apple's warranty if required, Apple does.

  • Iphone wiped out after update to 4.0 failed

    I connected to itunes and was advised of update 4.0 (or something similar) so clicked on update. After some 20+ minutes I received a message saying update had failed. I tried to press restore but nothing happened,now I have a completely dead iphone and cannot get anywhere with itunes as it seems to have erased the "my iphone" from the menu. Can anyone please advise what I can do to get my phone back?
    Thanks, keithssd

    Hello there, Mandkudras.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for troubleshooting your issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Particularly:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Why are some of my songs on my iphone grayed out after syncing to itunes on a new computer?

    After syncing my IPhone to ITunes that I had just downloaded on the new pc I just bought, I noticed that there are several songs that are now "grayed out" on my phone and won't play.  There are some songs that are just not on my phone anymore at all, but they are still in my ITunes library on my new pc. How can I get all the songs in my library on my phone and work? 

    What exactly happens when you try to redownload? Just how does it not let you?
    Are you/iPod doing anything between when the songs were there and they were gone?
    Does anybody else have access to your iPod?

  • Colors washed out after restart

    I recently had a system wide spinning beach ball, couldn't launch Terminal or Activity Monitor so I was forced to restart the machine.
    When I logged into my main user, all the colors were washed out and hazy. The highlight colors look different, some light colored web images are nearly invisible. Everything just sort of glows.
    If I log in as a different user, everything looks normal. When I switch back, the washed out colors return. I thought I found the answer online, and ran DMProxy, but this has no effect.
    I tried calibrating the display in Display Calibrator, but all that has done so far is create different looking washed-out displays. Switching to the default "Cinema HD Display" profile (which my other two user accounts are also using) just reverts back to the original washed-out display.
    Does anyone have any ideas? This is really frustrating and I hope I don't have to reinstall OS X over this.
    Thanks!
    Power Macintosh G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Amazing! I looked at the Universal Access panel and saw that the contrast was dialed way up.
    Now I think I know what happened - when my Finder was hanging before the restart, I went through a comprehensive PLOKTA (Press Lots of Keys To Abort) sequence hitting about every key combination I could think of - I must have hit the contrast up hotkey - Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-period.
    Man... I never would have figured that out.
    Thank you!!!

  • Computer freaked out after auto updates!! HELP!

    Hello,
    I REALLY need help. Up until now, I have been running OS 10.1. I recently found my misplaced Jaguar (10.2) discs and installed them on my G3 ibook. The installation went fine, but then I downloaded the automatic updates from apple. Upon restarting, my screen was distorted with vertical lines and strange colouring. I can sort of see things, but it is even difficult to locate the mouse. I tried to reinstall Jaguar, but it told me that I have a newer version of the OS on my hard disk and can't update. PLEASE help, I'm desperate.
    Thank you,
    Candace

    When you booted off the Jaguar disk to try to re-install, did the screen look okay? If so, that is a good sign and we can hope that you have a software problem and not a hardware problem.
    One thing that you might try is to reset your PRAM and NVRAM as described in Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM. These things play a role in the cpu getting connected to various devices, such as the video board, and perhaps something was scrambled.
    If that does not work, I suppose that considering a re-install is the way to go. I am not sure why you ran into the problem that you described. I don't have a Jaguar disk, so I cannot check into this. One thing I am wondering is about the options that you have for installing Jaguar. If you have an option to upgrade an existing operating system and you used that, you would have not been allowed to do that. When you did the software updates, your system was evidently upgraded to a newer version of Jaguar than what is on your disk. The installer will not let you install the older software under those circumstances.
    I am assuming that you also have a couple of other possibilities for re-installing. One would be an Archive and Install, which would save your account and settings, store your home folder in a Previous System Folder and possibly wipe out 3rd party applications not in your personal space. Or, I suspect there is an option for an erase and install, which would erase everything from your hard drive; i.e., you would lose your data. However, sometimes an erase and install fixes problems that an archive and install cannot fix.
    Before you proceed, I encourage you to read the documentation on the Jaguar disk and find out what your options are. Make sure you understand what will happen when you select these options. If you have questions, please post them here and someone will try to help you.

  • Iphone freaked out/wont charge

    Last night my phone was fine. I woke up today, noticing a notice came up that i had an accessory installed that the iphone couldnt understand and asked me to go into plane mode. The only thing that was connected was my usb charger. So i unplugged it and said ok. But the message kept coming up every minute or so for a few hours.
    Finally it stopped but now the phone will not charge. I plugged it into my mac and
    1. The phone is not charging. NO lightning bolt or battery screen or anything.
    2. Mac does not see the iphone. Usually itunes comes up but nothing happens. I check itunes and it is not listed on the left side.
    I also plugged it into a wall outlet with the same result.
    Im using a iphone 3G.

    No, but if the answer was yes it's a little late to start getting freaked out about it.

  • Try to update my iPhone 4 but after download it says error session timed out any ideas how to fix it

    When I try to update my iPhone I get error message session timed out can anyone help

    I had the same problem! I don't know what caused it, possibly slow Internet but I suppose my antivirus or other software could have affected it. Maybe it's an iTunes problem.
    After restarting the download at least 5 times in iTunes after it timed out, I found this website. I didn't know this before, but you can download the update in your browser and then apply it to your iPhone in iTunes once it finishes. I used Firefox 4 and it downloaded without timing out once. All you have to do is hold down Shift and then click on Update in iTunes and it will prompt you to select the update that you downloaded and it will apply it.
    Try this and let me know how it works!
