I couldn’t update to 3.1.3 successfully so I reinstalled 3.1.2. It didn’t get rid of the problem but it might be because I performed a restore after the reinstall.

Possibly it came from something when I updated packages from Rock Your Phone. I don’t know exactly when the problem occurred and what was updated at the time. I haven’t installed new packages in a while so the cause may be from an update.

I’m on firmware 3.1.2 and I plan on updating to 3.1.3 so I’ll update if it fixes the problem.

Beste Tim,

Dit probleem heb ik nu ook sinds ik mijn iphone gejailbreakt heb naar de 3.0 versie. Heb tevens wat nieuwe Cydia programmaatjes gedownload maar weet nu niet wat het probleem kan zijn…?

Heb jij al een oplossing gevonden?

This doesn’t really fix the problem for me. Every time I get a text message, the phone won’t turn on the screen again when I press Home or the Lock button.

A quicker way to turn on the screen is holding down the Lock button. It will display the power off screen. If I cancel and try to unlock the phone, it sometimes keeps the screen on. Usually the second try keeps the screen on. I’ve found this to be faster than rebooting the phone.

Either way, a reboot or what I’ve found to be a faster “fix” only alleviates the symptom. The next time I get a text the screen won’t turn on again.

Fantastic tip. I was having such a bad day, my Mac hard disk died this morning, then I get the white screen of death on my iPhone – guess which was easier to fix!

Thankyou so much for posting this! I was about to throw it on the floor thinking it had died after only 1 month but thought I’d just google it in case there was an easy fix!
THANKYOU!
