White screen crashes my Iphone 5 TIMES IN ONE DAY!!!

Hi everyone,
I have had my Iphone for roughly 3 weeks and encountered this problem (white screen crash) within a few days of my purchase, at first I was worried because I wasn't aware of how common it was on the Iphone software, but today I have had it happen 3-5 times which is worrying me again, please can anyone advise me on what I should do? I have the latest update, I also have removed some recent apps that may have caused the problem. I am now thinking I should take my Iphone into an apple store and ask for a repair, is this the best thing to do?
Has anyone also experienced the white screen crash roughly 5 times in one day?? Just trying to establish if it is common for this to happen 5 times in one day
Thanks and much appreciated,
Sincerely,
Chris

I've owned iphones since the first one was introduced & have never experienced a "white screen crash".
Standard troubleshooting steps in the following order:
1. Reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the apple logo, then release. Ignore the slide to power off.
If no change, continue:
2. Restore your phone from a backup, note: if the problem is related to corrupt data, while this will restore a fresh OS, it will also restore the problem.
If no change, continue:
3. Restore as a "new" phone in itunes & re-sync your content. All saved data will be lost.
If no change, make an appointment at an Apple store, as you most likely have a hardware problem.

  • White screen crash because of free Photoshop app??

    I keep experiencing white screen crash roughly 6 or 7 times a day and to be honest I'm sick of it!!
    I did a system restore, so my Iphone was restored to factory settings, effectively wiping everything of the memory. Apart from the images I had taken and the images I used for editing my photo's in the free photoshop app.
    I am wondering if anyone else has discovered this app as being as issue related to crashes?
    Also I have now removed these photo's and all photo's from my Iphone. So according to everyone's suggestion to avoiding white screen crash, I should not experience it as often as I am. Unless this is related the the problematic release of the 3.1.3 OS so called update.
    Thanks

    Update: removing the photo's has effectively made it worse - upon resetting the Iphone and the switching it back on, when the apple icon appears, after a few secs it's already crashing again. HELP!!!

  • I have a white screen on my iphone 3G since last night.. I tried a holding home and on/off buttons down but it won't switch off - help

    I have a white screen on my iphone 3G since last night.. I tried a holding home and on/off buttons down but it won't switch off - help

    Apparently, this is caused by a loose connection between the "guts" of the phone and the LCD screen. While it only displays white, the touch screen will still operate correctly - so if you know where to swipe, you can still power it off or unlock the screen, or touch to answer a call or etc.
    With my phone, pinching the top right corner near the power button while pushing the home/power button to wake up the phone, seems to tighten the connection enough for it to work. I have not had to maintain the pinch after waking up the phone, but I do have to do it each time I unlock the screen. I have gotten by for about 6 months so far, and hoping the iphone 5's come out soon!!

  • I got white screen on my iPhone 3G

    Hi I got white screen on my iPhone 3g. I did research on internet and tried to restart it by holding home button and power button including sometimes volume up. I did 10 times differently but nothing happened. after a while I don't have even white screen anymore just black. Iphone in general works I can find it with itunes restore backup etc. Does any one had the same problem if so did you find out how to fix it?

    So I have the same issue. Phone white screen. Reboot as you describe and it absolutely works UNTIL the phone goes into SLEEP mode. As soon as it does, either on its own or b/c I hit the sleep button, it wakes right back up with the white screen. If I don't let it go back to sleep the phone works perfectly so it is not a hardware issue. I have restored, rebooted, upgraded, restored, rebooted. All white screen all the time after it goes to SLEEP for the first time. It only happened after I upgraded to 4.0. Now I am stuck. HELP!

  • I keep getting a white screen on my iPhone 5 when I check my mail

    Why do I keep getting a white screen on my iPhone 5 when I check my mail?

    This could be the result of a few different things.  A damaged LCD screen, corruption in the iPod's software, or a loose LCD ribbon cable.  If a restore of the iPod in iTunes does not take care of the issue, then the iPod likely needs to be serviced.

    I have been using an app cheat with friends with my iPad for a long time. One day it just stopped reading the screen shot.  I have tried deleting a few times and starting over. It works on my iPhone perfectly fine. Please help !!!!!!!  Thank you

    @Colin Robinson
    Thanks, I did it hundreds of time!!!
    Anyway here's what I did:
    I'd wrote an email to Apple America, even if I'd purchased the item in Europe and the US support usually should not be involved in any European case.
    They wrote me back that a European office will have call me in 48 hours.
    After a couple of days I've received a call and a new iPod is coming from US...
    Don't ask me if I can find any kind of logic behind it, but at least I can state that the US support has been decisive.
    Thanks to everybody.

  • ITunes has a white screen on my iPhone 5

    ANyone know how to fix the white screen in iTunes on an iPhone 5?  This is happening on my phone not my Mac. Thanks!

    Yep I have the same problem. Started yesterday and I have the dreaded white screen on my iPhone 4S when I try to open iTunes, strange because my iPad is fine. Tried the date thing with no success. Apparently it is a software/server issue that apple are dealing with!!!

    Both Photoshop and Lightroom exhibit the same error. Sometimes this happens 3 times in one day or perhaps every  third day. When I open either package I get a message saying that I have 00 days left in the trial and to continue I need to purchase a licence or start a trail. If I click on purchase a Licence the once I log in with Adobe ID I can get started. I have contacted Adobe chat support 6 times. They suggest deleting an opm.db  file and assure me that this will sort the problem and within 24 hours back to square one

    Here it happens only with photoshop cc 2014. i just deleped opm.db i will check again tomorrow.

    With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:

  • Iphone 3gs not getting on only white screen is seen, iphone 3gs not getting on only white screen is seen

    my iphone 3gs is showing only white screen. Continuous pressing of home button only voice control is enabled. Nothing except white screen is visible.Please guide it to recover.

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds oh holding both buttons. If still problem. Try DFU Mode Restore. DFU Mode. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode.

  • Updates from Apple result in white screen, have to reinstall thru time machine, 4hrs.

    I have a Mac 21.5, OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
    Processor: 3.06 GHz; intel Core i3
    Memory 4 GB 1333MHz  DDR3
    If I do an update from Apple I end up with the White Screen of Death. I restore thru Time Machine and this takes about 4hrs.  I have to turn off,  unplug everything then plug everything back in, power up while holding "shift" "command" "r" and "p", keeping my finger on power button till I get an option screen with 4 choices.  I've found, restore with Time Machine the best choice.  It takes two people to hold the keys and power up.  I don't know why this happens, hoping for some ideas.  There has to be an easier and faster way to restore. I currently have an update pending, 10.10.3, I just did 10.10.2 Saturday (04-11-15) and had to go through all of the above to get update and eliminate "white screen" to restore. 

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
    If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • White screen of death iPhone 3GS 16gb

    My iPhone 3GS displayed the White screen of death and was told to restore my phone but iTunes said there was a problem and now my iPhone won't turn on at all.

    That happened to me once and the only was is to fix it is to use recovery mode.
    1. Connect your USB cable to your computer but NOT your iPhone.
    2. Turn your phone off.
    3. When your phone is off, press the home button and connect your iPhone to your computer.
    4. Your iPhone will turn on and keep pressing to the home button. iTunes logo will appear on your screen.
    5. You can start your restoration progress.
    Hope this helps. Thats is how I saved my phone. It also seems to me that the phone you are using right now may had been jailbroken and stopped working.
