Why does my new iPhone 5s screen go black?

I just got this phone in December, and recently the screen has been going black for awhile.  When it's black, I can still hear vibrations when I get a text message or the siri beeping when I hold down the Home button.  I try restting it, but that doesn't do anything.  The phone only turns on again after I plug it into a power source, but sometimes this even takes a while (and it doesn't turn black from lack of battery--sometime it has 80% or more!).  Also, this just happened again, and I tried plugging my phone in, but it's not coming back on.  It keeps buzzing about every five seconds though.

Are you sure it isn't just going into standby mode, if you touch the screen when it goes black does anything happen?
Perhaps a recent software update has reset some settings.

  • Why does my new iPhone 5s keep taking me back to the Hello screen after I restore instead of home screen?

    I've just plugged in my brand new iPhone 5s into iTunes to restore all the info from my old iPhone 4 onto it but instead of coming up with the homescreen with the icons it just brings me right back to the Hello screen and walks me back through the first few questions for Setting Language, Selecting Country, and Choosing a Wi-Fi network and then finally to Set Up iPhone and I select the Restore from iTunes Backup.  At that point iTunes gives me the selection on their screen and I restore from backup.  I see the Homescreen for a second and then it goes through the whole thing all over again.  What's happening?

  • Why does the new iPhone bend?

    The newest hidden feature in the iPhone 6 is that you can bend it. All jokes a side, whats wrong with that. I thought Apple had metallurgists working to make a stronger metal. Whats gonna happen to the people that have had this happen to them. Is Apple gonna provide a new phone for them on warranty or something?
    If any one has any information about this post it here .

    Where did you see or find that the new iPhone bends under NORMAL use? A YouTube video? Which would you rather believe? A YouTube video that has been largely debunked or a tour through Apple's very secret test facilities that actually shows the rigorous testing procedures? I guess that would depend on whether you are a troll or nor. Somehow I don't think we will be hearing back from you.

  • Why does my mac book pro screen go black when it goes to sleep and then will not light up again unless I unplug the power cord

    When I either leave my mac book pro open, but idle long enough for it to go to sleep or close the top and put it to sleep, the only way to light up the screen again is to diconnect the mag. connect power cord. Any ideas why and/or how to  correct this problem?

    So this is what I got when I took my computer into the apple store to have it diagnosed.
    After the apple technician performced several tests, the only thing that fixed the issue was an SMC reset. Based on this he figures it is probably a software or firmware issue that is going on. He is a little concerend how ever that the fans of the comupter don't reach maximal rpm when the computer is displaying the issue. So he recorded the problem, and told me to just perform the SMC reset as needed for the next couple months and wait for a new update from apple. If the issue persists I am to go back to the apple store and they will take the appropriate steps.
    He said an SMC reset doesn't hurt the computer in any way, so its safe to do. I am gonna contact blizzard and let them know about the issue as well because if it is software, it could be their game (Diablo 3) that is causing the issue as well. If I hear of anything new i will let you know. So get on the blizzard form and let them know of the issue to fix the problem faster.
    Thanks for your help,

  • 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 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
    During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call.  So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of.  Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message.  Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message.

  • Why does the new Itunes freeze/do nothing when i click on my Ipod touch icon ?

    Why does the new Itunes freeze when i click on my Ipod touch icon to manage my content? All buttones, video, tv, info, music, they all do nothing. i was only able to sync by bringing up the old sidebar. Is this a software glitch, or am i missing a step? I just spent two days reorganizing and labeling all my music for the new itunes, and had to restore my ipod so i could upload my new library. i know what is supposed to come up when you click on the music or info tabs, but nothing happens, only the eject button works. whats going on?

    The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes with the USB connector.  iTunes should open and give you instructions as to what to do.  Whatyou need to need to do is to restore the iPod via iTunes.

  • Why does a new episode of a already bought TV Show Season does not show up in my purchased section right away?

  • Why does my new iMac keep freezing for no apparent reason?

    Why does my new iMac keep freezing? This usually happens when it is not being used and is particularly frustrating when I do need to use it and ahve to switch off and then on again and wait for it to reboot.
    I am not computer literate so keep any answers as simple and idiot friendly as possible. I treat it like a car. If I put in the key and turn the ignition on and the enginesprings into life I am content. If not.............. well!

    In order to provide any help we need to understand a little bit more about the problem you are experiencing.
    You indicated the issue occurs when the sytem is not being used. Does this mean that you stop working on the system and the system 'goes to sleep' where the screen goes black, but when you need to wake it back up by pressing keys on the keyboard or clicking the mouse the system doesn't wake back up? To test for this issue open the System Preferences and click on the Energy Saver preferences. See the 'Computer Sleep' slider to the far right 'Never' setting. You can set the 'Display sleep' setting to any number you prefer. With these settings see if the issue still occurs and let us know the results. If it resolves the issue then give Apple a call and let them know you are unable to wake the system when it goes to sleep. You shouldn't be having that issue.

    Why does the new version 5 of firefox show up all the graphics on my web sites with a huge wide black border? They should be narrow and yellow!! I use iWeb for my web sites on an AppleMac iMac 22" wide screen.

    That is unfortunately a bug only in Firefox 5 and will be fixed in Firefox 6 (Aug).

    Some  of the display settings are stored in PRAM. PRAM reset is harmless.

  • Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

    Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

    You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
    If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
    If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.
