So, yesterday morning, my iPhone was fine. Checked email, then put it in my bag to go to breakfast. Pulled it out after breakfast, and the screen is black. I couldn't get the screen to show up. Plugged it in to my laptop, and the iPhone showed up in iTunes, but still had a black screen. Tried to turn off, nothing happened. Tried to force quit...nothing. My husband called my phone, and I was able to answer it because I know where the slide to answer bar is on the screen even though I can't see it...I was able to use the phone as a phone, but still no screen.
About an hour later, at the ballpark, the screen materialized again. The button on the top that turns the phone to sleep mode didn't work, though. I tried several times to put it on sleep mode, but nothing happened. An attempt to force quit brought up the voice control screen. And several times, a message popped up saying "this accessory was not made to work with this phone" even though nothing was plugged into it. To top things off, it won't charge...not from the wall outlet, computer connection or car charger. A trip to AT&T yielded the same result. I have an appointment at the genius bar at lunchtime today. Hopefully, they can replace the phone...I love that phone! I'm back to using my 3G until I can get a working phone back.
Just wondering if anyone else has a possessed phone, or if I just happened to get the one bad apple...
