A White dot has appeared behind my iPhone 4 Display, What to do?

I suddenly noticed a rather eye catching white dot appear behind my display on my iPhone 4. I checked, and so has someone else, and were certain its not a pixel issue, but the fact that it seems to be behind the glass of the iPhone quite deep down. I can most likely get it replaced in the Apple Store, but I was just curious to know what it was, so if you know or have experienced it before, I would really appreciate that you comment below. i have left some pictures bewow as well (the red circel indicates the dot) but it's not as clear as in real life and is much worse in reality too.
Many thanks for any help!

who knows what it is, and frankly, who cares?  Bring the phone into Apple for replacement.

    Have you recently deleted photos using the finder or run clean up software?  Is so restore your backup
    If not the backup your iPhoto Library and launch iPhoto while depressing the option and command keys. Rebuild your database

  • I have a symbol that has appeared on my iphone 4s top right just left off the bluetooth sign, it's an arrow on a circle with a padlock in the middle any idea where it came from and what it is

    i have a symbol that has appeared on my iphone 4s top right just left off the bluetooth sign, it's an arrow on a circle with a padlock in the middle any idea where it came from and what it is

    That's the portrait orientation lock (keeps the screen from rotating to landscape mode).  To turn it off, double-tap the home button, swipe the list at the bottom to the right, then tap the left-most icon (to the left of the music controls).

  • A white patch has appeared on my Sony Bravia LCD TV.

    A white patch has appeared on my Sony Bravia LCD TV. The patch is slowly growing in size and obstructing the picture. Unable to see what is under the patch. Does this forum also involve customer care?  We bought the TV almost 3 years back. Not sure if the international warranty that I got still exists. Need to check. Appreciate help. Cheers!

    I am having the same issue. My LCD's model is KLV-32BX300. I bought that TV 4 years back. The TV was working fine before that issue. The amazing thing is that the patch was initially a small spot and it size got increased within 2 days even the TV was powered off. Please help...

  • Iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.

    iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.
    After installing latest version of Itunes, I connected my Iphone via USB and selcted yes to upgrade my Iphone, towards the end of the upgrade a notification popped up indicating that the upgrade had failed. Since then my Iphone just isn't responding, I've tried reinstalling Itunes, turning off Norton Security.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you Carolyn,
    I've been through all those and apart from anything else, itunes is not seeing my phone, I therefore cannot restore the phone.
    Have tried deleting and reinstalling itunes in case something was missing there, though the fact the problem is on both my mac and my windows machine seems to me to suggest a phone problem..
    Is it possible that the latest IOS update which I did a week or so ago was not completed correctly? If so could this cause the problem? And how can I correct it?
    Many thanks

  • I have a red illumiated dot has appeared,callers have told me i sound distant

    Hi my daughters IPhone4 recent upgrade,A small red illuminated spot has appeared on the top menu bar????
    Also when receiving calls she sounds miles away,volume low,any ideas why
    Thanks
    Paul

    If the "Red Dot" is above the menu bar, left of the earspeaker, it is a glowing sensor. This is either normal or due to a slight power surge in the iPhone. Make an appointment with Apple Genius so they can take care of the iPhone's problems under Warranty Coverage.

    Any restrictions set up in Settings/General/Restrictions? If yes, disable them, restricted apps can't be found on any of the screens.

  • A vertical white band has appeared on my screen and I don't know how to get rid of it.

    About an inch wide, going from the top of the screen all the way to the bottom. It doesn't interfere with online activities or word processing, but it pulses and is distracting. I can't move it to the left or right. Shutting the computer down doesn't get rid of it. Never had this problem before.

    Does the line appear all the time or just inside Firefox? If the line is on everything including your operating system interface (Win, Mac, Linux, etc) then you may want to try updating your graphics drivers, if that doesn't help it may lie in the monitor or in the graphics processor itself. Sounds like your graphics processor is either getting old or is over heating. Which is a sign its about to burn out. If its only in Firefox then it maybe a plugin you have installed or a toolbar that is not installed properly. Need additional information about your hardware to really troubleshoot that.

  • Some has hacked all my iPhone data.  What do I change?

    Hello iPhone users,
    Recently a jealous x has managed to hack contacts in my phone, knows the right people to contact, and has been hacking/spoofing my number sending lewd text messages to them from my number and vise versa.  In a bad attempt to cover themselves up they sent the same messages from their phone number to one of my friends then denied it was them (as if to say their phone number is being spoofed too).  The loophole in their plan though is that AT&T confirms the texts were sent from their phone to my friends phone (indicating it wasn't a spoof) but doesn't show any texts sent from my phone when I'm being hacked/spoofed.
    I've tried getting help from AT&T, the FCC, and Police to do something about it.  AT&T just said "sorry this is happening but we can't give you any information or do anything about it.  It's not our problem." The FCC said, "wow technology is scary huh."  The Police said "this is a childish issue" and wouldn't even take my report.
    So what can I do to safeguard myself in the future since obviously no one cares to help?  Apple is the last place I'm going to. 
    Obviously iPhone security is vulnerable.  I am getting a new iPhone with a new number and new service provider today.  But since my phone has already been hacked, what can the person see?  I'm assuming they could have my email and passwords since I've used them on my phone.  Same with my Apple ID.  Is there any way they can hack into my computer from my iPhone?  Or hack into my next iPhone I get?  Do I need to set up a new Apple ID for my new iPhone and if so how do I transfer all my apps from my old iPhone to my new one? 
    I'm really scared to try to move to a different number and provider and have this keep happening to me especially because no one cares to help catch this person and tell them to stop.

    This exact thing is currently going on with me. It started about a week ago and i thought it was a software update with a problem, so i did a restore on my phone.  Heres alittle background: my friends started recieving calls from my phone, they did not appear in my outgoing, but i could see me multiple calls on their incoming call list.  I also was getting these calls from them.  We dubbed it "ghost" calls because no one was on the other end.  I then started to recieve text messages from someone who informed me they had been doing this to my phone.  Each message i recieved from them came from a different number, never the same one.  I recieved 5 messages from different numbers.  Whats even crazier they said they were going after 2 of my friends that are dating, and they used my phone to make me "break up my friends." I already changed my AppleID, my password, unlinked my accounts from my phone, but have left my phone off.  This spoofing of the iphone is real. I have changed every password that has been used on my phone.  (i did this after the initial issues with my phone, and it still continued).

  • Why is there a solid white line on left "border" of iphone 4 display screen?

    A solid white line appeared on the left of the screen a few hours ago, from top to bottom of my iphone4 display.
    It is almost as if the whole screen is off center by 1 mm. I have tried to restart hard-power off, even restored it. Help!
    Thank you in advance.

    Hey Alliemac71639,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 6 Plus display. The following resource outlines some great troubleshooting steps::

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Display image issues
    This can include bright or dark pixels, lines in video, or sections of video missing.
    1. Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    2. Verify the issue is not content related, by viewing different content.
    3. If the image is too dark, adjust the brightness. In General Settings choose Brightness and Wallpaper and slide the slider.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,

  • A white dotted line just suddenly appear across my screen

    my laptop  is hp pavillon 15 notebook  ([edited])
    After visiting the game app on my desktop. i noticed a white dotted line across the screen of my laptop.
    what could be the cause? and will it go away?

    Hello @kenny118 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you have a white dotted line across the screen of your display.
    It would help to know which product and operating system you are using. It looks like you've posted the serial number instead. For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
    The easiest way to tell if this is an issue with the display or graphics card (GPU) is to try an external monitor. If the issue is present on another display, you're looking at a hardware or software issue with the GPU. If the line is not present on the external monitor it's an issue with the display.
    Line on monitor:
    Update the GPU drivers from this website: Drivers & Downloads.
    System restore to before the issue started. Tap F11 while the notebook boots to access the HP Recovery Manager.
    No line on monitor:
    Reseat to display cable connection. I can provide more info on this once you've provided the product number for the notebook.
    Contact HP Phone support for service options: You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

    A UK calendar has appeared on my iPhone 5s. I live in New Zealand and don't need a reminder of the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne!. It just appeared after the last update. No option to remove it in edit. How can I get rid of it? A New Zealand holiday calendar would be a help instead!

  • Small White Dot lower left

    I've noticed a small white dot that appears on the screen when CS5 is active. I've changed the background from neutral gray to black and sure enough it's there and only appears when PSCS5 is open. It doesn't matter if I have a photo open or not. I first noticed it when working on a photo and tried to use the clone tool to remove it. It tried cleaning the screen and finally figured out that it is Photoshop that produces the white dot. As soon as I click Finder or any other application the dot disappears. Weird! It appears about 1.5 inches from the left edge of the screen and about 1 inch from the bottom.
    Anyone one else see this or is it just me?

    It's a bug, we're testing the fix now.

  • Productivity icon has appeared on my phone.  What is it?

    A new icon has appeared on my iPhone 4....called productivity.... What is it? And how do I get rid of it?

    No but a size up to500Mb is quite normal and don't worry about it. It needs some 'Other' to function.
    If it gets in the 700Mb or more, you have an App which is causing problems but it is not possible to find out easily what is causing it. The only way is to remove Apps until you find which ones cause the problem.
