My iphone 3gs has a white circle spinning around on a black screen?

I was playing on my iphone 3gs and didn't charge it for a while and it ran out of battery. When i went to go charge it it shows the apple logo but then switches to a black screen with a little loading circle spinning around and it's been like this for 4 hours. What do i do?

Try hooking it up to your computer and putting it in recovery mode to restore it. Honestly why don't you just upgrade though? Especially with the iPhone 4 being free with a 2 year contract if you don't want to actually spend any money.

  • There's a black circle on my iphone screen? I accidentally put a little water onto my phone and when I wiped it off there was a small circle on it. I touched it and it sort of became bigger. I can still see my screen but the area with the spot makes it a lot lighter than the area around it. I'm just a little scared that the spot will turn into something really bad. And I can't go and fix it cuz I just got my glass fixed from when I dropped it. Can someone just tell me what the spot is? And how to fix it.
