Why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to press end the call

why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call

hi smalley3,
Welcome to the Forums.
The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • Iphone G3 screen goes black after ending every call.

    My iphone screen goes black after ending a call. Shouldn't I have to hit the "end call" button? I'm having to re-boot the phone after every call I make. Anyone else have similar issues?

    Nathan C.,
    I know that and it is not the problem nor an explanation.
    Here is the issue I am referring to:
    When someone calls, still during the conversation when I remove the phone from my ear (in order to access the key pad, for example), or in order to hand up, the screen goes black and the phone freezes.
    In other words I cannot terminate the call or access the keys,as I remove the phone away from my ear it shuts down.
    Any help???

  • IPhone 4 screen goes black after swiping to unlock

    How do I fix this? I just updated my iphone software to 5.1.1 and ever since then the screen has gone black after I swipe it to unlock. I've tried resetting through itunes, I've tried doing a hard reset on the iphone itself but nothing works. I did notice when I first got the phone that the screen flickered a little bit, nothing to serious though.

    Yup I've been having the same issue as well...I figured it's a bug in the OS. SURPRISE...NOT!

    Hi everyone.
    This is my first post here.
    I got an Iphone 3GS that worked fine yesterday and then suddenly after the unlook the screen the screen goes totlay white.
    I have tried the rebot thing and after that the phone works untill it looks the screen and the it back to white again.
    I have tried to update the phone software to the latest because the phone looks fine in iTunes. No change
    I have done the factory reset no change.
    I have even but an old backup to the phone when the phone worked. no change.
    What can I do to get my phone working?
    thanks in advance

    This is a rare but classic iPhone 3GS White Screen Problem. It is due to faulty LCD Display.
    Before and during any iPhone 3GS repair make sure the iPhone is OFF. Because the 3GS Logic Board and new LCD is vulnerable to damage when repaired with it being ON.

  • Iphone 3gs screen goes white, after locking ???

    my iphone 3gs botts up fine, and everything works, but as soon as i lock it and then try to unlcok it, the screen turns white. tbhis has happened after i have replaced the digitizer and LCD ?? please help, what could the fault be ???

    I am not jailbroken, on 5.1.1 (9B206) and have been dealing with this problem since last night. I was using the phone like normal, nothing changed and once I tried to unlock it was white screen. I went to bed and once my alarm in the phone was going off this morning it kept being the white screen and I could not unlock it. After snoozing it somehow from hitting home and the sleep/wake button, the screen randomly came back to life. Now 9 or so hours later, with nothing being updated, added to the phone or changing any sort of way, the white screen when I try to unlock it is back.

  • Why does my iphone 4s shut down by itself even with full charge? It comes back on only when I do a hard reset! Any solutions to this?

    My friend recently gifted me a brand new iPhone 4s bought in the the US. I live in India though. My phone keeps shutting off by itself even when there is full battery. And, it comes back on only with a hard reset. Why does this happen?

    Thank you! I will try restoring it as new. But getting it back to the US for service is going to be a task!

  • IPhone appeared to not be charging, then shut off and won't come back on.

    Please, anyone??? I had my phone plugged into the car charger that came with my phone. Suddenly the phone appeared to not be charging. It finally went dead. Even though now it has been plugged up to the house USB cable for over 3 hours it doesn't make the sound like it is charging when I connect it, it doesn't show the charging screen. And I can't power it back on. Even by holding the home button and the top button at the same times it won't reset or anything!!!! Has anyone else had this issue and is there a cure????? HELP!!!!

    Today was in an apple store - they checked it and found that charge in battery was too low. They replaced it immediately and - lucky me - there was still a warranty (only 17 days left). The replaced iPhone has warranty of 90 days.
    There seems to be no other solution.

  • HT1766 My iPhone 4S has been wiped after downloading ios 6 and won't restore back-up

    I tried downloading ios 6 today and once it got to the end of the installation it said an error had occurred then next thing I know my phone (4S) is restoring itself to factory settings and now my backup will not install on it. Help please?

    Hi Paulski54,
    Siri can definitely be turned off.  I found the instructions here:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 6.1
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Page 39 says this:
    Setting options for Siri
    Turn Siri on or off: Go to Settings > General > Siri.
    Note: Turning Siri off resets Siri, and Siri forgets what it’s learned about your voice.
    I hope this helps!

  • My iphone's screen goes black and it behaves like that it is switched off.No switches work and the power button also does not respond.The ringtone do not also respond.The only way to switch on the phone is to press  home button and  power button together.

    Pressing the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button together until you see the Apple logo and then release is called a reset.
    If no change after a reset, the next step is restoring your iPhone.

  • Why does my iphone 3GS repeat the same song when I choose shuffle?

    Why does my iphone 3GS repeat the same song when I choose shuffle?  It just started doing it today.  I rebooted the phone, I looked to see if th repeat icon was being chosen and I cant even find that anymore!  Help!

    You can find the Additional Audio Controls as described here, to check if "repeat song" is also activated.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_User_Guide.pdf page 94
    Additional Audio Controls
    To display additional controls, tap the album artwork on the Now Playing screen.
    The repeat, Genius, and shuffle controls appear along with the scrubber bar. You can see elapsed time, remaining time, and the song number. The song’s lyrics also appear, if you’ve added them to the song in iTunes.
    Use the scrubber bar to skip to any point along the timeline. You can adjust the scrub rate from high-speed to fine by sliding your finger down as you drag the playhead along the scrubber bar.

  • My iphone 3gs keeps going black and to a "thinking" icon

    my iphone 3gs keeps going black and to a "thinking" icon and will do this for a long time and won't stop till I do a forced shut down.  It's all sporatic as to when it does this.  Plus it's adding pictures to contacts that don't normally have pictures and taking them away from ones who do have them.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I have iOS 5.1.1 on it still b/c my iTunes won't download the newest verision of the iOS (yes I have the most recent iTunes on my laptop, yes I've tried multiple different times to download too) but I've heard others say not to put the newest iOS on the 3gs b/c it locks them up. 

    Try doing a reset on your iPhone,
    Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery gets to 80%?  have installed new battery and nothing changes?

    Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery shows 80%.  a couple of months ago is shut down at 60% but has continually gotten worse.  this was before 5.0.  i took it to a repair man and he tried a used battery, a new battery, and the original battery.  nothing helped.  5.01 didnt help either.  What is my problem?

    Fully discharge the battery (till it shuts down and won't turn on) and then fully recharge it (100%).  This will recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

    why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?  In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
    In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

    On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced.  I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro.  Incidently I am not using Icloud.  Is that the problem?
