My iphone has a grey background and black stripes on the screen?

I was trying to change my friends contact picture on my iphone and it was saving it but then my phone went all weird and now it's frozen and the background is grey and has black stripes on the screen. It won't even let me restart it or turn it off! What should i do, is it broken?

Iphones do these weird little glitches and "freak out" sometimes. If you can't power off the phone, try plugging it into a computer and sync it. This may clear the bug. If that doesn't work, you could always just let the phone run down the battery and "kill itself". If the problem persists, you could always drop by the apple store or the geek squad at best buy. Hope I've been of some help, and good luck.

  • My Iphone 4 screen went grey & has been stuck like that for hours My phone screen went grey & I tried restarting it & nothing is happening. I know they usually restart themselves, but it usually doesn't take this long. My friend suggested waiting until it dies completely & then when I charge it, it will come back on. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

  • Iphone screen problem - all bubbly and grey? Hi i've recently replaced my iphone 3gs screen as it was cracked. When the repair was done the screen was all bubbly and grey ish looking, a bit like clouds/bubbles. I thought id damaged the new screen so ordered another one, but the same thing is happening. The phone turns on and works fine, just the damaged screen. Any ideas? The phone has been sitting for a while until i got round to getting it repaired, but i've never split water or anything on it.
