My iphone 4 keeps going black and the camara light wont go of

I dont know what happened, i left my phone downstairs came back down to get it and the screen keeps flickering then going black and the camara light wont go of . Can anyone help as i my phone is everything.

Just reset your phone:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
This should let you use the phone normally, no restore needed.

  • My iphone 3gs keeps going black and to a "thinking" icon

    my iphone 3gs keeps going black and to a "thinking" icon and will do this for a long time and won't stop till I do a forced shut down.  It's all sporatic as to when it does this.  Plus it's adding pictures to contacts that don't normally have pictures and taking them away from ones who do have them.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I have iOS 5.1.1 on it still b/c my iTunes won't download the newest verision of the iOS (yes I have the most recent iTunes on my laptop, yes I've tried multiple different times to download too) but I've heard others say not to put the newest iOS on the 3gs b/c it locks them up. 

    Try doing a reset on your iPhone,
    Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

    My iPhone keeps going to a black screen while I'm using it and then the power down screen pops up.  I updated the phone last night, but still having the same issue.   What can be the problem and how do I fix it?

  • IPhone screen keeps going black and buttons are unresponsive

    Hey everyone, I left my iPhone 5 on charging and woke up to find the screen black, as if it's been turned off. None of the buttons work and neither does hooking it up to the computer. I held the power and home button together to reset it and turn it back on. Luckily it worked, but after an hour or two the screen went black again. This has happened four or so times since yesterday and is getting quite annoying. Does anyone know what is the cause of this problem or how it can be fixed?
    Thanks

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings without using any backup:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If this does not work, contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

    Pressing the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button together until you see the Apple logo and then release is called a reset.
    If no change after a reset, the next step is restoring your iPhone.

  • Screen keeps going black and I can't get it to light back up

    I just purchased a "pinkberry" and am getting very frustrated with it. It keeps going black and no matter what buttons I push I cannot get it to light back up. I got it yesterday and charged it for about 12 hours so I know it's not that the battery is low.

    seems like a hardware problem. Return the device to where you bought it and claim a new one.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)

    Is there a case or screen protector that is possibly interfering with the proximity sensor (detects if the phone is near your face, allows the keypad/screen to be visible when the phone is away from your face)

    You are under warranty. You can call Applecare and get advice from the tech rep, or you can bring it to an Apple store or authorized Apple service provider.

  • Why does my Ipad keep going black and then back to the apple logo.  It eventually goes to the start page but then blacks out again.  I have already rebooted several times with no luck!!

    Why does my Ipad 2 keep going black ahd back to the apple logo.  It eventually goes to the home screen and allows me to try something else but after about 30 seconds it happens again.  I have already rebooted several times? 

    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • My iPad mini has recently begun to restart itself at random intervals, like on the lock screen or while in YouTube. Before it reboots itself a few faded lines jut across he screen, then it goes black, and the apple logo appears, and it resets. Help?

    It is severely frustrating

    Hello, Crazyrz1. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here are some helpful troubleshooting steps to go through when experiencing this issue.  These steps are labeled for the iPhone, but they will apply to your iPad as well.
    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.
    If the issue persists, see the section labeled Issue not resolved.

  • IPhone 3G - Phone goes black and won't go past apple logo

    I have an Iphone 3G... It will work fine and then the screen will go black... when I plug it in to the charger it will display the apple logo but will not cycle past the apple logo screen, then it will go black again and come back on and repeat this cycle. If I let it sit it will sometimes be able to cycle through and will allow me to restore... but without warning it will go black and I have to hope that I can get past the logo screen to do another reset. Does anyone have any ideas... is something internal shifting or is the battery getting old (screen shows full battery power) The back of the phone does seem warm. Please help... I took it to the genius' at the apple store and they were no help... only told me that it was out of warranty and I had to give up $199.00 for a new phone, not even for the 3GS, the same iphone 3G. I'd rather wait till June??? when the new Iphone comes out.

    Well, it seems as though you answered your own question. While it is apparent the phone has an issue, since it is out of warranty, Apple will not replace it, except under their out of warranty replacement policy, which is the $199 they quoted you, and that is for a refurbished phone. The only other option I'm aware of it to try and force it to restore, read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Since you are not willing to do the out of warranty replacement, which I can understand given the possible introduction of a new handset in the near future, if the article I linked for you doesn't work, you may have to live with a different phone for a short time.
