IPhone :: Why Does 4 Keep Going Black
Apr 28, 2012
3 times this week, my IPhone 4 randomly shuts off without me even knowing. I go to use my phone and it's just a black screen. The only way I can turn it back on is if I hold the on/off button and the home screen button at the same time for 10 seconds. Then my phone starts working again normally. But this has happened 3 times this week and I don't know why?? I've had this phone for about 2 years and this is the first issue I've had with it.

I am helping out a friend who has a Nokia 6280. She claimed that it's infected by a virus because her problems started after using a Bluetooth headset. I don't quite believe this as I've heard it's more likely to be struck by lightning than to have this phone infected with a virus. Anyhow, the problem is the following: When you power on the phone, you get the Nokia handshake, then the phone loads. However, as soon as the phone loads, a bunch of black lines appear to streak across the screen rendering it black. That's not a huge issue because it goes away after a few seconds. Now I've read this could be an issue related to the ribbon that connects to the screen, but the screen turning black does not occur in any other instance other than right after when the main screen appears. I can play with the slider all day and nothing will happen, but like clockwork the problem appears after the phone loads.What gives? The phone works fine otherwise, so what could the problem be? If you need any more information I will be happy to provide. I've uploaded a video of this issue here (using my 5800 XpressMusic at night - the quality isn't that great sorry, but it does show the problem). Pardon the audio - my kids were watching Spongebob Squarepants so you might want to turn the audio all the way down! I guess my question is two-fold:
1) can this in fact be the result of a virus?
2) if this isn't due to a virus, what is it due to?

My 3G and 3GS were always white, but that's because I liked the front as all black when the screen was off. Even when on, I think the white will be distracting.

I'm leaning towards white, for two reasons. One I just think it looks sexy in general. Two, most people are gonna get black so I'll like being a little unique. The proximity sensor on the top does annoy me a little bit, but doesn't bother me too much. I'll be pre-ordering my white 32GB iPhone 4.

Are you going to pre-order a black iPhone 4 just to get it? I for one am going to wait... at least until we get some more info.

I know there are a ton of iPhone 4 pics with bumpers on the forum, but I was wondering if some of you guys could post some fresh content. I'm mostly interested in seeing pictures of the white bumper on a black iPhone 4. It would be great if someone who has more than one iPhone 4 and more than one bumper to post pictures comparing the different colored bumpers.

My iPhone 4 just went completely black. It had 74% battery, dropped a call, I tried calling back, then unplugged it from car charger and then it went completely dead. Holding down lock button on top doesn't do anything. Plugging in to Mac doesn't do anything.

I dropped my iphone about 3 hours ago and it landed screen-down, but it was not shattered. everything on the phone works however i can't see anything - the screen is COMPLETELY black. i tried resetting it by pressing the home and power buttons at the same time, and it has not worked. since the phone is entirely functional except for the screen, i can hear when i get a text, etc. when i tried restarting it, I knew it worked because it made a sound when it came back on and was charging, therefore the only issue is the screen.

My Iphone 4s has a black screen. If I hold down the ON button, it will occasionally flicker and then go black again.
Is it dead? Is there any way to fix it? It's sitting in a bag of rice right now, a desperate measure.

Yesterday I took my iPhone 4S off the charger and for some reason the screen was black. Power off and on, hard reset and plugging into PC and wall charger does not work. It is on, because if turned on silent it vibrates and when plugged in it makes a noise. Otherwise unresponsive. Also, I just left it for a bit yesterday in the hope that it might fix itself and when I came to check on it, it was really hot. It wasn't plugged into the charger or anything...

yesterday, my iphone kept doing something odd, it kept locking itself. Later i got annoyed so i tapped it against a table and the screen went black. My iphone still works im getting calls and messages still. Ive tried restoring it and that didnt work. Unfortunately my lock button doesnt work and so ive searched the internet and people say just hold your lock button and power button and it will come back. I really need my phone too.

I was running the cnbc real time app and my screen went dark. I could see the backlight was still on but the screen was a lit black screen. For a few minutes I presses all the buttons and finally the phone booted up.
This morning my phone did the same thing for no reason. I finally had to press both the power button and home screen button to get it to re boot. When I ran the new game. Eliminate gun range, the phone did the same thing My concern is that I may not be able to replicate it at the genius bar if I take the phone there

I've had this happen approximately 6 times now, and the last two times it happened, today and yesterday, I noticed that it does it just as I hit send on a text message. The screen just goes black and then the apple logo comes up 10 seconds later, like it just rebooted itself. Has anyone else experienced this? My wife has one too and said it hasn't happened to her, but maybe she just hasn't noticed it.
