Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Iphone 3gs screen goes blank when it rings/gets a text

My iphone screen goes white when i get an incomming call. I can answer it if i slde my finger across the general area where the answer switch will be.
In order to view the screen after the iphone has locked I have to hit the home button followed by the power button 3 times.
Does anyone know if this can be fixed? If not will i be able to get a replacement. I'd be willing to pay as its out of warranty?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Remove your case and see how it works. It may be blocking the proximity sensors that turn the screen off/on during a call.

Have you tried resetting the iPad:
Reset iPad: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

IPhone Screen Goes Blank

While making a phone call, when I take the phone away from my ear, the screen goes blank and I cannot end call or see call waiting - finally the screen comes back to slide to unlock, and the phone call is ended.
Anyone else having this issue? Any fixes?

WOW! So that's what the issue is!
Petshows, since getting my 3G last Friday I've been plagued by the same problem. It's been so chronic I suspected a fault in the iPhone itself. My first gen unit never exhibited this behavior so I was on my way to the Apple Store tomorrow to report it to the techs at the Genius Bar. But...
...I'm now convinced that Nathan C. has identified the source of the problem. I use a DLO brand "Jam Jacket" I bought for my original iPhone. It has little cut outs at the top for the position of the proximity sensor and the earpiece. I now suspect that either the 3G proximity sensor is less sensitive or its position is slightly different from the first model and it isn't aligning properly any more.
To test out Nathan C.'s hypothesis, I made a call long enough for the 3G screen to go dark. Lifting it away from my ear, I verified that it was not waking up as it should. I then flexed the upper part of the Jam Jacket's case to reposition the proximity sensor cut out and VOILA! the iPhone screen wakes and I can press the Hang Up button as usual. Now my only issue is whether to modify the cut outs and continue using this case or buy one that avoids the source of the problem.

HT1414 screen goes blank when pluged in battery ok after a minitue

screen goes blank during uses when pluged in for a minitue is ok

Most iPhones have the Setting Auto-Lock set to 1 minute. So at, 1 minute the screen automatically turns OFF, turns black, blank. You can set this to other time lengths or Never. Tap Settings App > General > Auto-Lock.

My iphone screen goes crazy when it charges

Hey there,
Whenever I charge my iPhone my screen goes crazy when I touch it. If i'm typing whilst its charging it clicks random things and deleted what i've typed. The phone works completely fine when its not charging and I haven't had any other problems with it. I have the iPhone 5c iOS 7.1.1 (about to update after this post).
If anyone could help me that would be great!
Ps. Someone posted a video and my phone does the same
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbsNCjbs-xg

I have the same exact problem and I use an Apple charger and lightning wire cord. Resetting the phone doesn't work and neither does shutting it off and turning it back on. It is infuriating to say the least, especially because this stupid phone spends more time on the charger than off. The battery is crap.

Screen goes blank when using Patch tool

The only information I've been able to find on this issue thus far was a post that was written during the Photoshop CS6 beta period at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4285375
I am using the final released Photoshop CS6 software, not beta, and am having the same issue with the Patch tool. I start to drag around an area to make a selecton, and the screen goes blank so that I can't see where I'm making the selection. When I release the mouse, the image appears again. Another problem which may be related is that sometimes when I zoom in, the screen goes blank. Closing Photoshop and re-launching it usually fixes the problem, but is an annoying time-waster. I have the most current update from the Cloud for Photoshop CS6, 13.1.2.X64.
Does anyone know a fix for this?

RAM is 12 GB. I'm not sure which numbers are relevant for VRAM and scratch drive, but this is what I found for video card properties:

Iphone just goes blank when I am talking

When I am talking on my phone the screen goes blank and it just locks up for about 5 minutes and then it ok again, has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for the details cassie18 and we can figure this issue out. Do you have a case or cover on the phone that can be blocking the proximity sensor at the top? Do you only notice this on longer calls? Try pressing the power button or lock button when this happens to see if anything comes up.

Hello nosaint1961,
It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your computer to your desktop. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening named:
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1367
If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

If you are still unable to start up your computer after trying each of these steps, visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for further diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).

Z10 Screen goes blank, when restarted now rotates between blackberry screen and blue loading screen

Last week I was having issues with my blackberry where the screen was going blank and I had to restart the phone. I had recently installed a software update and so when I took it into Telus the guy explained that the sotware may not hae installed correctly so he walked me through the blackberry restore steps via blakcberry link. So I did restore my blackberry.
But a couple days later, it's back to its old tricks - the screen just goes black and I have to restart it. The trouble it is won't currently restart. At the moment it is rotating between the black and white "Blackberry" screen and the blue loading screen.
Was I unlucky enough to have the software install incorrectly both times, or is there something else going on?

Blue loading screen? That is hardly known to be a "loading screen".... does the device get out of the blue screen by itself or you have to intervene?
