Anyone else getting the BLACK screen of death after Kitkat 4.4 update?

Ever since the update, my phone is wacked, like everyone elses. I got my Samsung Galaxy S4 a month ago. Beautiful, loved it. Update happens: I want to pitch this thing as far as I can throw it.
The phone rings. I go to answer it but all I have is a BLACK SCREEN which is LOCKED. I have the lock on the screen, but if the screen is black, you can't see it - and you can't answer the phone! One day, I got a message, and could not get to that. Why? the BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH.
Someone told me to turn off Samsung Watch On and that has helped with some of the issues. But I still get the screen occasionally, and my battery life is GONE.
How do we get rid of this update? Should I just call Verizon and get a new phone with the OLD software? I hate this. I feel like I was the victim of bait and switch.

ltg123 - did you resolve the problem yet? If so, let me know how.
My (hopefully temporary) solution was to turn off my "Lock Screen" ... to do this, go to Settings, My Device, Lock Screen ... and select None.
The only issue is that you would no longer have any security for your phone and would be vulnerable to someone stealing your phone and having full access to whatever is on your phone that does not require a separate id and password. Dangerous, yes ... but, for me right now, it's better than not having any access to my own phone!
The Android update simply sucks ... some heads should roll for allowing such a crappy update to get (no pun intended) rolled out.

My computer has been through the black screen of death twice after shutting it down today.

Whenever I turned it on, only the sound of the disk running and the startup sound was there but the screen remained black. I've been told to do a hardware check using my system software disc but I'm currently abroad and I wont be getting hold of that disc until mid July this year..
Im scared to shut down my computer again.
**first black screen: Safe mode didnt work. I reset PRAM, shut it down and boot it again. Worked
second black screen: Again, safe mode didnt work. had to do PRAM resetting a couple times, didnt work. did an SMC reset, worked.
I'm worried none of these will work the next time.

If you don't have an external drive with you, go out and buy one. Make a clone backup of your system. If there is drive failure you want your data backed up. If you have to take your computer in for repairs, you will need a backup in case they wipe your drive.
Both of these applications can be used to create a clone.

Do you have FileVault enabled. Under certain conditions this can cause kernel panics.
Boot into the Recovery Drive (hold down Command R when restarting). Open Disk Utility on the recovery drive and select Repair Drive. Did you see any errors?

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If it happens again, try taking a photo of the panic result using your IPhone.

Help solving the Black Screen of Death

Hello There!
I have an HP Touchsmart 610-1100z 3 days ago I put it to sleep and when I tried to wake it up nothing happened. I restarted it and it was just a black screen, no HP logo ect, but I could hear all the fans and drives working. I checked the light issue with a desk lamp and revealed that is not the problem. I then tied the BIOS F10 to F5 work around with no luck. I have gotten it to boot up twice since then by repeatedly turning it off and on until by sheer luck it just boots up. When it boots up there is absolutely no issue but clearly something is eskew that I would like to fix so that I don't live in fear of turning off my computer. Does anyone have any ideas?

Mac Crashes.... for the last two days I upon power up I have experienced the "White screen of death" on my 2008 Mac Pro 2.8.

for the last several days I have experienced the dreaded wite screen of death upon power up of my 2008 Mac Pro 2.8,
Screen will hang white - no apple logo - when I hit the power button resart - the mac power light does not go out, but "clicks" and the mac will restart.
I get the white apple logo screen and then some terminal script (about 20-25 lines) that lasts for a dew seconds - then an apple message appears telling me that my computer needs to be restarted due to an error - press a key or wat.... this will cycle continuously.
If I power down and boot in safe mode - the computer seems to start up - with a crash log.
Once I restart from safe mode - the mac seems to start fine and I am using it without issue - (of course until I power down and come back in the studio the following day...)
I am not familiar with crash logs - but here are the two most recent...

Remove the third party uaudio and motu drivers then restart your Mac.
Once I restart from safe mode - the mac seems to start fine and I am using it without issue
Safe Mode only loads required kernel extensions which is why Safe Mode works, "without issue" ...

Does the warranty cover the black screen of death

It ouch randomly goes dark.. How do I fix

Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
If the iPod is defective, within warranty and not abused Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one at no cost.

First the black screen of death now I'm getting blue screen of death please

Hello any Apple care technicians in the house ?

HT201210 I did the update on my phone and now it just keeps restarting itself over and over again. It will come up with the black screen and apple sign and shut off and bring that up again. What do I do?

First I did the update under general like I do every couple months. My phone came up with a screen, at the end of the update, that had a picture of the itunes icon and a picture of the iphone cord like I was supposed to connect to itunes. I did and itunes said that my phone needed to be "restored" to be reusable again, and the only option it gave me was to click the restore button. So I did and it went through a 30 minute restore session. Now my phone just shows the black screen with the apple icon and restarts over and over again. Clicking the buttons does nothing. It has been doing this for hours now. What do I do?

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes.

MSI R9 270X Gaming 4G Black Screen of Death after driver install...

So I recently updated the drivers and AMD catalyst to the newest version. After doing that and restarting my pc, it will load to the Windows loading screen, then to the black screen of death. When I restart under last known good configuration, I can start windows, but I don't have the drivers installed. This is a fresh install, and no matter what I do, it ends in the same result. I've tried restoring the PC, and I can start windows again, but again. No drivers. I can't find an older version of the drivers that worked before. I'm just frustrated because I have 2 of the cards, and a quad display. But i can't use them... After researching, I found that this is a common issue, But I can't seem to fix it.

From your post in another thread I guess you tried 14.4 from MSI site. Use latest official AMD one (14.12) instead: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%208.1%20-%2064

How do you solve the so called "Black Screen Of Death " On an iMac Intel 27" EMC 2309 and 2374

According to various forums I've visited , this is very common issue that Apple has not addressed. I've read that it could be a logic board issue on the graphics card or a LED driver board issue or even a temp problem. My friend just got this issue resolved on her MacBook Pro but it cost her $500 to have it taken care of. This problem is making Apple look very bad in the eyes of it's customer's. I won't post some of the negative comments I've come across on these forums as a result of consumer frustration with Apple not taking care of this. Let's just say it needs to be addressed. Oh and the " Black Screen Of Death " is what people are calling it, not sure of the official problem name but it's an intermittent tendency of the display to go completely black while the OS is running fine.

IPad 1 - Black Screen (Black Screen of Death)

My iPad has a black screen. I call it the "Black Screen of Death". The iPad is fully charged, is recognized in iTunes, will NOT reset by holding down both buttons for any length of time, and I have taken it to an Apple store where I was told they don't know what the problem is but I could purchase a refurbished iPad for $250.
This is the 4th time the screen has gone black. Each time I have been able to use my iPad is from doing a "restore" in iTunes. The restore did NOT work the first time, the second time or third time. I can't be sure how many times I used the restore function. I can only say that each time after several "restore" attempts, I've "given up" on my iPad and let it sit for an unspecified period of time. When I decided to address the iPad again, I clicked the bottom button and the Apple logo appeared. My iPad loaded up and then I connected to iTunes to load all my apps, music, etc. This last time, my iPad was up and running for only two days before the screen went black again. I was playing a game (app) when this occurred.
I am POSITIVE there are thousands of users out there experiencing the same problem but I have yet to read as to why this is happening. I believe users are tired of hearing "hold both buttons to reset" and "take it to the Apple store". Many iPads users are past their warranty, would like a possible or valid reason as to why their iPad is malfunctioning and a reliable software update solution or "do it yourself" remedy.
Is there anyone out there that can address our concerns with an explanation that "sounds" reasonable or a real solution and not the two standard responses?

I am using an iphone 3Gs and Itunes won't allow me to restore it?!?! help me fix my black screen of death!

Ok, I am trying to restore my iPhone 3Gs to 5.0.1 and when I do, it looks like it is going well until it says that is it preparing to restore, it keeps me stuck at that spinning bar and then after a while it gives me the error 1601 unknown error has occurred. I have tried looking on Google for over 3 hours now trying to find the answer to my problem and sadly I cant find one, I am trying to restore my IPhone because earlier I was playing with it and it ran out of battery and I let it change and walked away form it, I came back 1 hour later and it was still at the boot logo of apple, I waited 2 hours and it did nothing, just stayed with the boot logo. I then put it into DFU mode and it appears in iTunes as in DFU mode and can be restored but like I said above that it just gives me an error. I have looked into Google and tried every way possible and found out that I may have the black screen of death. If you have this problem and found a way other than getting a new iPhone, please contact me on this page because I am not in the mood to buy a new iPhone because this one has an expired warranty.
Also i have tryed all the things in the error support page and nothing works, uninstalled itunes completely and did all that other stuff but still the same problem and i have not found a way to fix this.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

MacBook Pro June 2009 NVIDIA 9600 black screen of death

Hi there,
I am thinking of buying a new MacBook Pro June 2009 with dual graphics.
1.
As I read about the issues the MacBook Pro has in regards to graphics related to NVIDIA 9600 GT,
black screen of death, I would like to know if anything has changed regarding the NVIDIA 9600 GT
as it is still the same graphic card Apple is using for the latest MacBook Pro series.
Of course I know that Apple does not build it, however are there any informations that NVIDIA has performed changes on its graphic card that the widely discussed long term heat issues relating to the black screen of death will not appear in the latest model series?
2.
As I mainly use PS for picture editing I also would like to know how much this will conflict with the 9600 graphic card in the long term. Are there any users with black screen of death experience that were using PS as their main picture editing software where the issue appeared?
3.
Lastly I am aware that their are tools to manage fan speed behavior - as a workaround to cool down temperatures. Using this software would it void the warranty that is provided by Apple?
I thank you very much for all thoughts about the subject.

Hi pictureswithPS, welcome to Apple Discussions!
1. I have an original late-2008 unibody MBP that was purchased a week after the introduction. I have never had a single "black screen of death" ever, and I do some gaming under OS X on my machine. The heat issues are, in my humble opinion, greatly exaggerated. Does the machine get warm? Yes. However, any computer with this much power in this thin of an enclosure is going to get warm. Mine has never crashed, frozen, black screened, etc. once.
2. I don't think PS is particularly intensive on the graphics card. It may use the graphics card, yes, but I don't think it will be quite as intensive as a 3D modeling application or 3D games. I would doubt you would ever run into problems anyway.
3. Lastly I am aware that their are tools to manage fan speed behavior - as a workaround to cool down temperatures. Using this software would it void the warranty that is provided by Apple?
No, it wouldn't likely void the warranty. However, if your fans die prematurely as a result of running them at high speeds for extended periods of time, I doubt Apple would be especially happy about replacing them. I do not use any 3rd party tools to manage my fans, and never will. It is simply not necessary.

Qosmio X875-Q7290 Black Screen of Death

Hey everyone,
My dad purchased a Qosmio back in 2012 for work. It's a powerhouse that can pretty much accomplish any job. Here are the specs, and then I'll get into my problem:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
System Model: Qosmio X875
BIOS: InsydeH2O Version 03.72.306.30
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
Memory: 16384MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M
Display Memory: 4095 MB
My dad passed shortly after he purchased the laptop so I then took it over and brought it to college with me. There was an incident where my motherboard completely fried and Toshiba fixed it for me. I was extremely greatful and left notes for the staff in my box when it shipped to Toshiba, haha.
It's been over a year since that incident and now I have come across another. I'm a heavy gamer and, until 4 days ago, have had a flawless experience. The black screen of death has only emerged recently and seems to be increasing in frequency.
Usually this happens when I am gaming, however it has also happened when the computer is simply idle. Everything will be running just fine and suddenly the screen will go black, the keyboard becomes unresponsive, and if there was sound it is stuck in a loop. The only way to remedy the situation is to hard shut down the computer and restart it.
Since the first incident I have been diligent in monitoring heat which has never gone over 71c even in my heaviest of game play. I have also uninstalled and re-installed the most current video driver. I have run multiple virus checks, I have cleaned the computer inside and out, defragged the harddrive (Well not really out of the ordinary I do it every wednesday), and have also done general clearing and cleaning of any unnecessary files.
Still, no matter what I do, I am getting this Black Screen of Death. I have followed many guides and suggestions which have done nothing. When I reinstalled my video driver I did, atleast, get about 1.5 hours of gameplay which my heart was then crushed because it happened again.
I am WELL over my warrenty... And can not afford to take my computer to a profession / send it in to Toshiba. I'm moving soon, as I have just finished college, and have yet to find a job.
Any advice or questions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

It's hard to know for sure, but it does sound like a hardware failure that would require servicing. RAM would probably be an easy place to start if you were looking to do hardware troubleshooting yourself.
As an aside, if you just copy WoW to an external drive and copy it back, it'll work without needing to go through a lengthy install/download process. You'll need to install the Launcher though of course. In fact, D3 works the same way. You might already know that, but it makes it easy to back them up.
