Iphone screen is white, still plays music and turns on..Whats wrong?

I brought my iphone up to the snow with me. Unfortunetly it got wet. After seeing this I dried it off and now its sitting in rice. When I turn it on, the screen is white, yet it charges and I can slide it open and play music. So I know the phone still works. Not sure what to do. Any help will do. A friend suggested I replace the screen because he had a same problem with pressure and I was up in the mountains. Please help. Thank you.
(Phone has been running slower since newest update, sometimes it would die with 45% battery left)

Hello Madshammitt

Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the device.

IPhone screen flashing white/black/blue

I have a 64GB iPhone 6 Plus, the phone is running the most recent version of iOS 8.
I didn't drop the phone, get it wet or anything. All of sudden the screen started flashing black and white, and blue. I can still send receive texts, calls etc, sound is working fine. I just can't interact with the screen because it's flashing colors. It is very similar to the problem experienced by the user in this thread: iphone 6 plus screen flashing white and black
I've already rebooted the device and tried plugging it into a computer (it wont recognize the phone because I've never plugged it into the computer before).
I'm on vacation, at a wedding and I don't have access to an Apple Store. Is there ANYTHING I can do to get my phone to working order?

Thanks for that info. I restore the phone without any data In the end (as a new device). In order to make the problem go away I had to:
1. enter DFU
2. Update device
3. Restore device
4. Setup as a new device
It didn't work without completing all 4 of the steps. after setting it up as a new device it still flickered a bunch and the color were funny. Especially when looking at high definition photos. It was like it was threatening to start flashing black and white again. I turned the phone off for a while and then when I turned it back on it was fine. It's been fine since then. well see what hapPens.

IPhone screen turned white- looks like screen damage but no damage has been done

I turned my phone off because my Whatsapp was being weird. And when I went to turn my phone back on my screen was white/grey with a couple of faded vertical lines. The corners of the screen look darker and it looks like screen damage. The phone is still on just the screen isnt working, I have tried restarting but a number of times but this hasnt worked. Had loads of problems with my iPhone, anyone had anything similar happen?

Give it a couple of gentle "spanks" across the back of it. If this doesn't solve it, back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in your backup file or maybe it's one of your apps causing problems. If it continues, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

IPhone screen goes white

Ever since the 1.1.4 update whenever I push the home button to awake my phone from sleep mode the screen goes white and delays to go to the "Slide to Open" screen. It does it at least three times a week. What do you recommend I do? Should I reset my phone? What would happen if I did so?

Reboot your phone. Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons about 8 seconds, until the Apple appears. Do not "slide to turn off" when that display appears, just keep holding.

My iPhone screen went white when I did a screen shot. Now the screen will not go back. How do I fix this?

I have an iPhone 5 with 8.0 update. I was taking a screen shot and my screen went totally white. It will not go back to normal. It is still white. I can hear a text but can not see it. What has gone wrong? Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo . You will not lose any data . Cheers Brian

HT4061 what should i do when my iphone screen goes white and also has the ios 7 update

My iphone 4 screen started to glitch out and i tryed turning it off and restarting but nothings working so i decided to keep it off for about 20 mins and now my whole screen just went white and i cant get into my phoen or access anything.

Do you have a backup of your contents? When the iPhone showed the screen with the USB cable and said to connect to iTunes, it had already entered the recovery mode which means all content had been erased. So you need a backup from before the water damage and problems started to get your contents back.

My iphone screen is white help

I tend to drop my iphone often but this time when I turned it on the screen was completely white. My computer registered it and I get emails and whatnot. Please help its killing me.

You have probably broken the connection to the screen. Your nearest Apple Retail Store can replace the screen, if necessary. They can advise you about costs.
Make an appointment and have it looked at: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

Iphone screen is white!?

I had a text earlier today, answered back, my phone locked (like it always does when I'm done using it) then I go to type in my code to reset my alarm, and the screen is frozen??? I guess. I can hear the attempts to type in the code, but no numbers are going through. Then, I attempt to turn the phone off, and the screen just goes white. I can press the power button and it goes black again, but once I press the power OR the circle button, it goes white again. Any ideas??????

I hate to say it but I think you should restore your phone and start off fresh. I know what a pain in the * that is but if your having a lot of issues you may find that to fix them. When your done restoring and iTunes asks you if you want to restore your phone from a backup you'll want to think twice about selecting an old backup because you may just be brining back the same issue if you do. With that said I guess you know what option I believe you should choose
I hope that helps out and if you've already tried it I would take that piece back to Apple and get a new one.
Good luck!

Screen turns white when someone calls

My iPhone screen turns white occasionally when I turn the phone on--not a big deal becaus I just turn it off and on again using the power button BUT sometimes someone calls and the screen turns white! There is no possibility to answer because the screen goes white immediately and so I miss the call! To make matters worse I don't have caller ID and so I don't know whose call I missed.
Is this software or hardware? How to fix!!!

Apple said they would replace it--but it seems when they replace your phone you DON'T get a NEW one!! They use refurbished ones from the factory that have been rejected initially and then they get "refurbished" and pushed out. . .that kinda *****! I am almost tempted to keep the one I have and get caller ID so I can just figure out who called when the screen goes white and i can just call them back.

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem. Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source. Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all. In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
Is there any help for this affliction?

Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off. Still nothing appeared on the screen. I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black. However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed. In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on.
What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
gud luck

Is there a way to set the iPhone to have a black screen with white text?

I found the "Invert Colors" option under Settings > General > Accessibility, and like it a lot. It provides enhanced readability.
The problem is that it inverts all colors, even for apps. So when I view a web page in Safari, all the colors are inverted for the images.
And when I view my photos in Photos, these are also inverted as well.
Is there a way to set up the iPhone to default to a black screen and white letters for the OS, but allow the apps and photos, etc. to
be viewed in their regular colors. For example, can I run Photos to view my photos on a black background but view the photos in their
normal coloring?

I'm afraid that is not possible, maybe this could bee a step in that direction if you use the mentioned Zoom function:
Invert Colors and Grayscale
Sometimes, inverting the colors or changing to grayscale on the iPhone screen makes it easier to read.
Invert the screen colors. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then turn on Invert Colors.
See the screen in grayscale. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then turn on Grayscale.
Turn on both effects to see inverted grayscale. You can also apply these effects to just the contents of the zoom window—see Zoom on page 150.

Iphone 6 plus screen flashing white and black

My iPhone 6 Plus 16Gb suddenly started to show screen artifacs, like flashing with white and black, so I can't see the springboard only black and white screen. Restart of the phone didn't help. Even when the phone is booting, Apple logo doesn't appear and then again flashes. As it seems on background everything is working, as I can receive sms and phone calls. It is just the screen. iPhobe 6 Plus is brand new, I've been using it for 1 week and it never dropped. No physical damage, no nothing, just flashing

Have you tried a Reset by holding down the Sleep / Wake Button and the Home Button at the same time until the white Apple logo appears, then let go of the buttons, but wait until the Reset completes and you are back at your lock-screen? If this doesn't work then do you have a computer with the current version of iTunes? If yes and you already have a Backup of your Media and Data on iCloud or iTunes, then you can put the iPhone in DFU Mode. Don't do this unless you have a Backup and also have a computer with the latest iTunes. You will need your Apple ID and Password. To go to DFU Mode you can hold the Home button while you plug the Lightning Cable into the iPhone, a graphic will appear on the iPhone screen showing that you need to connect to iTunes. At that point just connect the iPhone via the Lightning Cable with USB into your Computer. Open the iTunes App on the Computer and wait until a button appears representing the connected iPhone. Then click on the iPhone button on the iTunes screen and it should open to the Summary page. At that point you can Restore the iPhone to Factory Settings and bring it up as A New Phone. The iPhone should screen should then show Hello and you will need to connect to your WiFi via your Router WiFi Password and then answer all the question put forth by the iPhone. When the "Lets Get Started" occurs you can thoroughly check out the iPhone to make sure it is all OK. When satisfied that things are good, you can plug into the computer and iTunes and this time Restore from Backup. or if you Backup is in iCloud you can Restore over the air.
