I was on instagram and it froze I hit the power button to put it to "sleep" and I tried to open it back up and its been stuck at a dark screen. I tried holding the power button in order to reset and nothing happens.. When I press the home button siri turns on but I can't get anywhere with that either..
My iPhone 4 was in the middle of an update and froze. I tried to turn it off but now it has a blank screen and is buzzing, cannot get it to shut off, or stop buzzing. I did not get it wet, and I have no idea what to do next.
My iphone is frozen, won't go to black scree and doesn't respond to any button pushing. Attempted to power it off but it doesn't respond to that either.
I've fully charged by Bold and the red light is intermittently blinking, but the display won't turn on. It's stuck solid black and no button will turn it on. I've tried removing the battery and the card, but nothing works.
My 1020's FFC has been working fine until yesterday when I tried to use the FFC and it just showed a black screen and you couldn't press any buttons on the screen, I just had to go back to the home screen to do anything else. The regular camera is working fine. Proximity sensor seems to working fine as well. I have done a soft reset with no luck, about to do a hard reset... It's not a huge deal but I do like my phone to be working at 100%!

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?
It is frozen on apple screen and it keeps trying to restart self (which is not working). I have tried to reset with the home and on/off button (at the same time) and I have tried to plug into computer, but itunes doesn't detect device at all. Some times there is very small writing at top of screen that is so small I can't read. It seems as if the phone is in a restart loop.
I have an iphone 3GS and I tried to update it yesterday, admittedly its been awhile since i last updated it, but after downloading the software it has remained frozen on the connect to itunes screen. A hard reset does nothing at all. When it is connected to itunes it wants to download the software again, which has already downloaded and wasted 3Gig of my internet.
I tried to fix the problem by follow the suggestion on the internet by press and hold "home" for 2 seconf then press home and power for 10 secs. Then continue pressing home for 30 mins but it is not work for me. After doing this for several times, now I cannot even turn on my i4s.
how it is that my iPhone is frozen with the iTunes symbol and a USB cord on the screen. I cannot switch it off.
I have tried to install the new upgrade however the computer advised that the iphone must be restored to factory settings prior to the upgrade. This is impossible as the phone is frozen
I want to dwnld unsynced images B4 restoring the phone. Phone is frozen so can't download straight into iPhoto or ImageCapture.
I trawled the net and followed suggestions such as trying to back it up via Ctrl-click in Devices on iTunes but only says 'open in new window' and 'Eject iPhone' - no backup option. Have also looked for the 'Mobilesync' bkup folder in Library too but not there. either.
