Screen freezing/blacking out since update

Since the 1.0.1 update my phone is freezing sometimes. It froze a couple days ago right the middle of setting a wallpaper. I had to reboot it. Then yesterday the screen went black for about three seconds for no apparent reason. My phone was in sleep mode so I hit the home key. Then before I had a chance to unlock with the slider, my screen went black. Then a few seconds later it came back.
Never had this happen before. Anyone else having these kind of freezes or blackouts?

If the iphone starts to freeze the best thing to do is to power down the iphone.
It sounds like that is what you were trying to do.
If the freezing continues to happen, you might want to restore the iphone.
If you decide to restore the iphone, this article from he apple support website will help.

Cannot wake up after screen goes black occasionally since update to maverick

Cannot wake up after screen goes black occasionally since update to maverick. I have to wait a few mintues and press power button to restart. Any one has similar issue?

I've found the problem!!
Mavericks for some reason overheats the GPU.
I downloaded a free 3 day trial of Temperature Gauge Pro http://www.tunabellysoftware.com/tgpro/
It showed a GPU 0 diode temperature of 122 degrres C. I think that's about 250 degrees Farenhiet. Insanely hot. No wonder the poor thing was crapping out. TGP alows fan control and so I set them to maximum and watched the temp come down quickly.
After all these months of frustration it turned out to be a simple fix. So I bought the program for $10. Sure a lot cheaper than having the Apple Experts replace a GPU or CPU like some have sugested.
What I still can't figure out is why Apple won't fix the problem from thier end and just update the fan parameters on Mavericks.

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

Try restarting the iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

My touchscreen blacks out while on a call so I can't multitask. If I am on a call and a new call comes in, I can't see who is calling or even think of answering because the screen is blacked out.

Thank you so very much! My husband is in Afghanistan and calls at different times. If I am on a call and can't answer him it could be days before I hear from him again. I never thought to just restart my phone! Duh...this is my first smartphone so I am learning. All day people were calling while I was on the phone but I couldn't answer. Thank GOD none of the calls were my husband because it would break my heart if I missed his call. Thank you again and GOD bless you! Ashley Combahee

My screen is blacked out, it will pop back in for a few then fade back out

my screen is blacked out, it will pop back in for a few then fade back out; does this happen to anyone else?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Screen is blacked out but calls and such still coming through...

My screen is blacked out but I still hear texts, calls, alarms, etc coming through. When I plug it in to my computer for a reset it doesn't identify the phone and there are no "portable devices" settings under "manage devices". HELP please

If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod (you did not say the type of restore your performed) and are still having the problem that indicates a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order..

Screen Black Out since upgraded to 10.6.5

During the update to 10.6.5 using downloaded DMG (from Apple site), my Macbook black out during the installation. My LCD screen became Black, couldn't brighten up using F2 (brightness control). I have to Share Screen from my other iMac to click RESTART after the installation.
My 2nd black out happened just 20 minutes ago while I was in Mail program. My LCD turned black and couldn't brighten up. So I force Shut Down to restart my computer.
Any advice on this because the 1st Black Out happen during installation, and today's the 2nd. It never happen before, could it be there's a bug in the software update to 10.6.5?

It happened this morning again. Attached a picture I took of my MacBook when it went dark. I have to close the lid to sleep and wake up again to regain brightness.
