QUOTE(Moonflown @ Jun 18 2009, 08:17 PM) I tried updating this morning and the phone keep on being stucked at "verifying iphone restore" I tried reinstalling itunes and using different computers but the problem remains. Any solutions here? My phone is totally blank even in recovery mode and i can't switch on at all. There has been reports that the authentication servers are very congested due to massive requests from everywhere in the world. A lot of users ended up with a bricked phone but not for long as long as you get pass the authentication servers. Give it some time and try again. |

That sounds like the infamous and dreaded dead area on capacitive touchscreens. It was heavily talked about back in the days of iPhone 2G and iPod Touch 1G. My first iPod Touch had this problem where one area is permanently dead and a full restore is unable to fix the problem.
Try to restore your phone back to 3.01 without JB and give it a few days. You need to see if JB is causing it. As JB involves some code patching as well as addition of foreign files, it may affect certain operations of the iPhone OS if not done properly either from user point of view or the software patching scripts due to wide variations in user configurations and states. You will loose JB but you can wait for 3.1 JB if it is ever released. I believe it has been.
If your's is a real problem, screen death will be permanent. The cause is due to misalignment of the capacitive touch area in relation to the screen. Some part of the capacitive touch area is not touching the screen or have dropped so it may not have registered your touches. That is called screen death because you can't touch anything on the interface as the capacitive touch area is not registering any touches because it is far away from the screen and become insensitive. A likely manufacturing issue.

QUOTE(javtan @ Sep 21 2009, 01:27 PM) It's very hard to capture the image. It's definitely not a pixel. It's like boxes formed by 10x10 pixels. Those that you saw are matrices on the touch screen membrane. The iPhone uses capacitive touch screen and those matrices acts as a digitizer to register your touches into electronic digital signals to the iPhone OS. |

QUOTE(potion @ Sep 22 2009, 07:07 AM) i did encounter this problem with the 3.0.1 firmware on my i3gs. when i switch 3g on, sometime it shows no service even after i switch it off back. restart the phone did fix the signal problem but sometime it did happen again. well it does fix after i upgrade the firmware 3.1 and set it as new iphone. not sure if it work with firmware 3.0.1. Ya I had that problem too. I believe the iPhone 3G has a weak transceiver because it is behaves poorly especially when there is a weak 3G signal and strong EDGE. It doesn't fall back but instead stick to 3G but signal bar is 1 bar or less. As a result battery performance is poor and signal quality is horrible. Switching to EDGE manually will cause it to drop from service. And it will take a long time to recover signal unless restart. Maxis is also to be blame. I still think their network is not fully optimized for iPhone. |
