My iphone just went dud...should I wait.

I have a first gen iphone. Pretty sure it just crapped itself. Did a hard reset and everything went to crap. Wont sync with itunes, got a funny white screen with purple lines through it (sometimes) most of the time it is just dead. With all the rumors about a new iphone should I just wait to see if one is coming out. I realize it could be 1 to 2 months away but I would hate to buy one now and a new one come out in 2 months. I can get an old phone and use the sim card...which is another problem in itself. Went to take the sim card out and when I stuck the paper clip in, something went "crack" Guess I get to take the phone a part to get that. Well let me know what you think or what you would do.....thanks

If I was you i'd just call AT&T and see if they'll replace it for free. If not, upgrade to the 3G. Don't believe what people say about a new iPhone, I think apple is more focused about getting a 3.0 update out then a brand new iPhone.

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
    Is your phone still charging using the adapter or if you connect to the computer?
    If yes, charge for at least 10 minutes before you connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • My iphone just went black.  How do I restore it?

    My iphone just went black.  It is not the battery.  How do I restore it?

    First try resetting it:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you(hopefully) see the Apple logo...can take 15~20 seconds.

    my iphone just went all hot turned off and now wont turn back on, any ideas??

    Let it cool and then reset it... press 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.

  • My iphone just went dead!

    My iphone that i purchased in september just went completely dead. It won't charge, the battery was on 60% when I put in my purse and now nothing. Nada. No phone. Help! I dread having to go to the AT&T store or worse the Apple store.

    Hold Sleep/Wake + Home buttons down for 30 seconds. Then hit Wake button. See if it comes on. Also, you might try and see if iTunes recognizes it. If so, try restoring it.

  • Should I wait for the iPhone 5 or get the iPhone 4S now?, Should I wait for the iPhone 5 or get the iPhone 4S now?

    I dont know what to do! I really want an iPhone 4S now, but I don't know if i will regret it later once the iPhone 5 is released. What should I do? Is it worth the wait? If I do get the iPhone 4S right now will I be happy? I know it sounds stupid, but you all probably know more about this than me.. I'm new to Apple products.

  • HT1766 my iphone just went black and won't turn on what can I do?

    Help! My iphone 3gs was working just fine. My granddaughter picked it up and jerked it out of the charger and it went black. I have tried pushing the home & power button together, going to itunes to restore and nothing helps. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks Terri

    Did you try any of the reset steps, etc. outlined in some of these forums or pretty much do nothing until it started working again? Also, do you have an iPhone 4 as Sam The AMAZING does?
    (I'm desperately grasping straws to figure out whether or not I've exasperated all options and my iPhone is lost forever...)
    Thanks, L

  • HT4528 My iPhone just went completely white I can't restart bc my top button is. Broken. Help!

    Please see subject

    I had the same error, I took it in to a local repair shop and they had to disconnect the battery to shut it down, I was told it's an error with iOS 7.0.4 and I should not use my phone till apple releases the fix for the white screen, in the next OS update.
    They have run tests on my phone and there is no hardware fault they could find.
    None of my buttons worked when the white screen appeared so I couldn't restart either. So wait for the battery to die or pop in somewhere they can disconnect the battery, I hope this helps.

  • Iphone just went blank

    I went to use my phone and it won't turn on. I've tried reseting it by holding the home and the sleep/wake button but the apple icon never appears no matter how long I hold it. Also I tried plugging it into my computer and Itunes recognizes it but says it's in recovery mode and can't access a phone in recovery mode. How do I get it working again??

    If your iPhone is in recovery mode, this means you need to restore your iPhone with iTunes.
    Are you unable to restore or follow any prompts to restore when your iPhone is connected to iTunes?

  • Help!  My iPhone just went through the washing machine!

    I am at a complete loss... I don't know what to do other than get a new iPhone - it won't turn on... I'm trying to dry it out...

    Whatever you do, do not power it on while it remains wet.
    It must dry out naturally which can take a while - days or weeks and that includes placing the iPhone in a bag of uncooked rice or in a bag of silica gel packets during that time. Even with that, if the iPhone was powered on while being submerged in water, as you know moisture and electronics don't mix especially when completely submerged.

  • My iphone 4 just went off dead

    my iphone just went off and i can on it again i try to charge with my laptop but is not coming up please i need an urgent solution

    Have you tried holding power+home button, until the apple logo shows up?
    The only way to get past where you are right now is to plug the device into the charger for at least 30 minutes. If it gets a charge, you can try to open it. If it still won't open, you will either need to try and do a reset, which uses both the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release, or you can unplug the device until the battery completely dies and then plug it in for around that same 30 minutes and it should start on its own.

  • HT201412 not switching on or charging just went dead

    my sons iphone just went down over night and wont switch on or charge , tried to resset it still wont have it so dont no whats up with it ,it was working fine then leaving it on hes bedside cabinet woke up in the morning would charge or switch on

    I have the same problen. I went to a AT&T corporate store and they had no interest in helping me. This ***** because they dump it all on Apple. If I don't get another phone from them I am dropping my family plan and going to a new company. When you can't support your product you can't support the customer.
