iPhone 3g Screen has unbalanced screen or phantom light -Another Problem

I can't believe my replacement iPhone 3G has a problem. This makes two incredible defect in the iPhone 3g in less than 72 hours. The first was the crack around the headset jack in the white iPhone 3G 16 gig model. Now I am experiencing a faint light in the bottom right corner. It's almost as if the screen is unbalanced or something.

I guess I have to wait back on the phone with tech support and pray they give me an appointment with a Apple GENUIS (gosh I hate that name).

THIS APPLE IPHONE 3G has me On An EmotIONAL RollER COSter!!!!!!

How to fix Black Screen of Death with Iphone 3G

Hi All You Iphone 3G Pioneers,

I spent 4 hours on tech support. The one saving grace was everyone was real nice, American, and real knowledgeable. If you read some of the posts below you will see I had a lot of application crashes on my Iphone 3G and then it gave me the screen of death - Just the apple logo and nothing else on a black screen.

Well the solution was easy. Just turn off your iPhone - some of you might be saying, "I can't turn off my iPhone", don't worry I was there with you. I was really scared I was going to get radiation sickness from this iPhone turning into an iBrick stuck in the pre-boot always on position. Well to force your iPhone to turn off you need to hold down the Sleep/Wake button (the button below the screen) and the power button (silver button on top) for 10 seconds and when the screen flashes off let go. If you don't let go in time the iPhone will turn back on and you will have to try again until the unit is completely off.

Then turn on your computer and start iTunes. Do not start iTunes with the Iphone 3g connected.

Once iTunes is started and warmed up get ready to connect the iPhone but before you do hold down the Sleep/Wake button (the button below the screen) and do let go of this button until I tell you too :)

Connect the iphone 3g to the computer while holding down the sleep wake button. The screen will flash around and may show you the logo but have faith. Eventually you will see the cord pointing to the computer logo that you saw when you first purchased the iPhone. This is a great sign and means your on your way to using your iPhone again!

Eventually iTunes will pick it up and will start to do a restore after you select a few obvious choices.

I hope this helps. I was sure I would have to be without a phone for a day or so.

My hats off to tech support at Apple.

Apple Support on the iPhone 3G - "Its a learning experience for us too..."

I am on the phone with tech support from apple. After waiting for 15 minutes, I was greeted by a very friendly l lady. Unfortunately she told me that its was a learning experience for them too...

Why? Why Steve Jobs is your tech support folks supporting the iPhone 3G learning on the job. Is it more important to keep Project iPhone 3G secret, or is it better to experience have it rolled out and some of the issues worked out before it goes out to the millions of gullible techno-freaks who have to have a defective product as soon as possible.

This iPhone 3G is horrible and it has made me, a person who enjoys buying technology when it comes out, gun shy. I have been burned so many times by Microsoft and now the company that was supposed to be the opposite of Big Brother is giving the masses the same crap to eat! Eat this crap, pay me money, and like it!

Please do not get the iPhone 3G... RUN ... Go and grab the iPhone 2G that everyone is selling.

Apple iPhone 3G - Cracks In the Shell and Black Screen of Death = iBrick

When your iPhone 3G crashes 8 times a day, and your black screen of death with the Apple logo wont go away. When your iPhone 16 gig white model already is showing cracks in its case after 48 hours of use, what do you do? YOU BLOG ABOUT IT!

I can not believe how much Apple has become like Microsoft! This new has become the bain of my existence. Being a programmer I can tell it must be because the applications are not closing out of memory properly becuase whenever I switch between apps a lot it crashes.

Now the phone is dead.

I didn't even mention that I waited in line for 8 hours, took 4 hours to set the iBrick up. Now this on the second day! Thanks a lot Apple!
