New iPhone 3GS white screen on wake up.

Hi, the wifes new iPhone 3GS keeps showing a white screen when she tries to wake it up. Should I restore it? If so will we loose all the info on it?

I got it by a restore error when i tried to downgrade and it is now totally unusable.
Downgrading the phone is not supported, (for good reason as you found out) and no support for hacked iPhones can be given in this forum. You're on your own.

Iphone 3GS white screen, still after reset. I DIDNT GET IT WET?

I hit a dirt jump on my bmx bike with my phone in my pocket and fell. Not to hard but i guess hard enough to make the screen turn white ;[. So after googling the issue i found out i should try to reset it. After restating the phone several times the white screen still stayed there. It sometimes had faint Rainbow vertical lines. I can still use my phone because it vibrates and rings when i call it. The touch screen still works to. But the ***** screen is white. So i was thinking if i replaced it with a new digitizer and lcd screen *http://cgi.ebay.com/iPhone-3Gs-full-LCD-digitizer-screen-replacement-/2507962423 17?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a649ef58d* it might work. Am i right? If i drop 50 bucks on this and its still broken im gonna be ***** pist.
The lcd screen doesn't seem broken, when i disassembled the phone there wasn't any obvious tears or scratches.

how would you recondmend selling it for parts? And do you honestly think its worth a try buying that item i linked in my first post? i can get a gold back housing and gold metal trim thing for cheap. Would those new aditions make it sell for more and if so would i get profit over the money i spent in parts?

New iPhone 3GS with iOS 5 creating a problem with white screen

Hi There,
I purchased a new iPhone 3GS from iStore in India on 27th Dec 2011 and got a problem saying phone was getting restated automatically. Later got a new device replaced by Apple and now it started a new issue from the day one, with a temporary white screen of death.
It happen, whenever the phone is kept on stand by for a longtime, mostly in nights. Further after receiving a call/text kept the phone idle and by the next call come phone turns white and to get rid of it need to press power button once and then press the home button.In the white screen mode touch is not responsive.
Please let me know what can i do. Tried restoring device from back up, via itune... everything is done. but not getting a solution.
Is it the problem of iOS5.
Any help... please suggest.
Thanks
Venkat

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

IPhone 3GS On-Screen Keyboard Problem!

The number, space bar and return key on my iPhone 3GS on-screen keyboard is not working until you tilt it to landscape mode! When I tap the number key, it activates the cap key. When I tap the space bar,depending on weather I'm taping the left, middle or right, it will activate the "X, C or B keys, respectively and when I tap the return/done key, it will activate the backspace key! This problem happened suddently about two days ago!
What on earth is the problem and can anyone please help me?
Thank you very much in advance!

Try pushing the "home" button twice rapidly to get the multitasking bar to open. Hold on the icon for the app store for a few seconds until you get the option to close it. Then try reopening it and see what happens. That will probably fix it.

If I buy a new iPhone 3GS on eBay, can I transfer the SIM card from my current iPhone 3GS into the new one and will it still work?

I have an 8GB iPhone 3GS on AT&T, and I wanted to purchase a 16GB version on eBay. Will I be able to just pop the SIM card out of the current iPhone 3GS into the new iPhone 3GS and have it work properly?

Yes, you will be able to use it provided that the 16GB version of 3GS is either factory unlocked or locked to AT&T network (in case of a carrier locked phone).

Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

How can i get a new iphone if my screen crack

How can I get a new iphone if my screen crack?

Some Apple Stores can replace the screen of an iPhone 5 for $149. Otherwise, it will be $269 to replace the whole phone (unless you have AppleCare+, in which case it would be $79).

How can I get a Brand New iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement phone?

4/26/2011
Does anyone how I can get a brand new iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement for my iPhone 3GS? I already had the phone replaced once with a refurbished phone that has a problem with becoming frozen and unresponsive. This occurred ten times since I got the phone on 4/16/2011. I have tried doing a hard reset and have also restored the phone as a new device. I have an Apple Care plan. I am concerned that the refurbished phones will not be reliable due to my experience with the refurbished one that I got as a replacement.
Thanks!

Thanks very much for your reply! I have a Genius Bar appointment today maybe they can test the phone to see if they can determine whether or not it is defective.
Thanks Again!

I have just got my new iPhone 4 white and the battery drains quicker than it should. How would I fix this?

I got my new iphone 4 white 32GB today and the battery drains quicker than it should

So based on that you're saying around 6 hours discharge? That sounds about right if you're on the web using 3G. Games and apps eat up the battery faster.
Talk time:
Up to 7 hours on 3G
Up to 14 hours on 2G (GSM model only)
Standby time: Up to 300 hours
Internet use:
Up to 6 hours on 3G
Up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
Knowing what you were using it for would help

NEW IPHONE 3GS DOES NOT START

I just got my new iphone 3gs yesterday and have not even had the time to have a nice look at it coz it just does not start.
When I put the phone to charge the apple logo appears and after that just the sign of USB connector pointing towards itunes (with the itunes logo) appears and phone stops. I had it charged for more than four hours but I don’t see the battery charging status icon anywhere.
When I press the ON switch on the top the same thing repeats itself meaning it gets stuck in the USB connector pointing towards itunes (with the itunes logo) sign. Totally confused and frustrated. Kindly assist. Lastly as i am new to the apple brand could anyone guide me towards the Software for the IPHONE 3GS i require to install on my desktop in order to sync,email etc.thanks for the advises in advance

Obviously it's telling you that you need to connect your iphone to your itunes to activate it, otherwise it won't work.
Firstly download itunes, under Downloads. then install then plug in your iphone, and follow the instructions to activate it. Then you should be set and start using the phone.

I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water. It still does everything but get service, can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one...

I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water for a moment. After drying it and everything, it still does everything but get service. Can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one... is this true? I would truly appreciate the help, please let me know, thanks!

Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode. In this case, all data on it is gone. There's nothing to back up.

This calibrates the battery indicator, not the battery. There is no battery calibration with a lithium-ion or lithium based battery.
Copied from this link.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
I'm not sure why Apple includes charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down as one charge cycle, which is not the definition of a full charge and discharge cycle with a lithium-ion or lithium based battery. A full charge and discharge cycle can include running the battery from 100% to 50% followed by fully charging the battery and repeating this the next day.

What would be better a new iPhone 3gs or a used iPhone 4?

what would be better a new iPhone 3gs or a used iPhone 4? The iphone would be 2yrs old and belonged to my sister. I am weighing my iphone options, help!

I'm sorry I should have been more specific with the situation. I currently own an iPhone 3gs which is still under warranty, I am going to get a new one because I am having some issues with the phone. However, my sister offered me her old Iphone 4 if i want it. Now I am not sure whether I should take her 2 year old iphone 4 or just keep the 3gs I get from the apple store...???
