IPhone :: Screen Went Black And Lost Sms Messages?
Apr 24, 2012
I recorded a voice memo and pressed Share via mms. The screen went blank and came back on and now all my sms messages have gone!My fiancee died last November so I have just lost the last two years of texts between us and am pulling my hair out in frustration. I know I should have backed it up on the pc but that blew up a year ago and I haven't been able to get it replaced. I've read several boards on here about similar situations but I cannot get an answer that'll work for me. I have turned it off and on; I have done a soft reset but nothing. The availible memory hasn't gone up so I'm hoping they are still there.
My iPhone 4 screen has went black I can still receive calls and messages but I can't answer them. I can't reset my phone because my lock button is jammed. What do i do?
So I recently unbricked my AT&T S5 with OC4 Stock Modem and Kernel. Everything was working perfectly fine until I clicked software update. The update downloaded and started to install, but after that it goes into recovery mode and ended up failed to update. The phone then reboots to the at&t logo screen, then to a black screen with error messages such as "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped", "Unfortunately, Media Storage has stopped" and "Unfortunately, setting has stopped".... I pressed the power button to see if I can go to emergency mode, but it will give me another one of those error message "Unfortunately, Emergency recovery manger has stopped" or something like that. What can I do to fix this?
When i was checking my emails on my Blackberry Torch 9880 the screen froze. During this time i know i got a text message (heard the text alert sound). My Blackberry automatically reset itself and when it had rebooted i had lost the previous 2 days worth of messages...including the new text which i was unable to read.
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?
I have a iphone 3g and I am having big problems accessing my apps. Everytime I go to use a app e.g facebook or ebay the scrieen goes black and then goes back to the home screen. It also seems to be taking forever to got to make a phone call. What can I do as one of the main reasons for getting this phone was using the apps
I accepted the update for ios and now my phone is going from black screen to apple screen. I have tried turning it off and holding both buttons NOTHING! I also hooked it up to my computer and went onto iTunes and it does not show as a devise?
I got an iPhone 5s what the screen is totally black, but the touch screen and other functions are still working, has been replaced the LCD but it keep doing the same way.
I just upgraded an iphone 3gs from 3.1.2 to 5.1.1 and it properly updated the firmware then at the end tried to restore the data. While restoring it kept prompting me for a password which I don't have any setup so I pressed cancel and it started synchronizing but my messages and notes are not showing up! I'm particularly concerned because I checked the size of the backup and it's like 200 mb! that seems very small.Is there a way I can fix this so it sync back everything properly and otherwise how can I restore to my previous backup with the previous firmware?
I have read through a number of forum posts and posts around the internet concerning whether or not you can recover lost text messages on the IPhone. The conclusion I've come to is that you can on iOS 4 (the text message files are actually still there until you sync next), but that isn't true for iOS 3. Is that true? I would very much like to get back some text messages that I've deleted on an IPhone 3G using iOS 3. It has not been synced since I deleted the messages, but the last backup I have is before I received the messages.
I sync my phone trying to do a backup.. but instead it has wiped everything on my iphone.I have tried to re-import sim contact but that is very few, i had over 200 contacts on this phone.All pictures cant be found.I've searched all over iTunes to see if it hidden in groups.I've searched outlook.. there are no contacts sync on there either.
I recently changed phone providers and at the same time upgraded from an Iphone 3 old provider to an Iphone 4 with the new provider. Same phone number- I had it trasnferred..
But 1- all my text messages are gone and 2 all my whats app chats are gone.
And yes, I backed up and synced my phone on Itunes before swapping.How can I get it back?
This morning my while checking my email on my phone, the screen went black for 5 minutes, and eventually the apple logo appeared and when blank again, i then turned on my phone and it said i had to connect it to iTunes, which i did. When it was recognized on iTunes it said this:Name:iPhoneCapacity: n/aSoftware Version: n/aSerial Number: n/a
and said it had to be restored, which i agreed to and first it recovered, and then it asked if i wanted to restore it as an iPhone found on this computer, (mine) and i said yes. After it recovered i saw that i lost all of my text messages up until April 6th, and i lost well over 200 pictures. Is there anything i can do to restore my messages and photos, or do i take it up with my wireless provider?
my bb has started acting weird, sometimes( not always) when screen unlocked it automatically selects apps,writes messages,deletes messages,send messages etc. its like someone is logged in remotley and doing this, what is this and how can i stop it?
I have had a itouch and I connected it to the itunes. But now when I first connected my iphone with the itunes. My iphone was synchronized and changed as my itouch. I lost connacts, photos, messages and so on. So how can I get back my information?
I have just restored my iphone from last back up to retrieve vital messages that somehow disappeared. Now I have lost the most recent messages, calendar details and photos. How do I get them back?I have an iPhone 5S
Phone is charged, is working, will connect to itunes but screen is black. Restored but screen is still black. No slider. No apple logo. Will vibrate so I know it's on.
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.
I just traded in my 3G for a 4s a week ago.Yesterday my 4s screen went black, could do nothing!Booked an appt. with Apple and they were able to get my phone working again.Today, my screen is black again!that's twice in 1 week!What can I do to prevent this from happening?
