Anyone notice a factory protective overlay on their 3G screen

Hi
I was using my iPhone 3G today and noticed something I have not noticed before.
Has anyone noticed that there seems to be some short of protective shield on the touch screen? I noticed this because when i looked at the speaker area and the home button area I can clearly see that some sort of film is stuck on top of the glass.
Has anyone else noticed this? What is this film for? Can I remove it?
Thanks

As I stated, there's not one pre-installed on new iPhones. If you purchased your phone used, one may be on there. Also, if you received a refurb phone in exchange for a defective one, there may be a protector on there (they are supposed to replace the case, not sure if they replace the glass; I know that I have returned iPhones with the protective film I installed left in place).
If there is one on there, it's safe to remove it if you want. You can remove the films by applying a piece of transparent tape (e.g. Scotch® tape) and lifting from the corner.

  • Has anyone noticed if you access the camera via lock screen ....

    you won't have any option to email or share photos. but yet if you access it through the camera app its all there. was this intentional, or will this be corrected in the next update?

    That is intentional so no stranger can walk up, take photos, and then have access to your email, etc.

  • Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 has a yellow tinged display?

    Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 has a yellow tinged display and the colours look too intense? Just does not look right.

    Correction - I HAVE reported the fault to Apple and to my network provider who have informed me that they have received numerous complaints from their customers and are sending out replacements to them and to me. As I hadn't stated what steps I had taken in my original post you shouldn't be so fast to assume what I have or have not done.
    Thank you and goodbye.

  • Anyone notice that the button panel is crooked?

    Anyone notice on their 4th generation Shuffle that the button panel is slightly crooked?
    Or do I have the only one out there that is

    If you feel as though your Shuffle has a slight defect, it might be worth having it looked at by bring it into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar.  Otherwise, if it is functionality properly, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

  • Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
    TIA,
    Nancy

    To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
    Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
    I wonder what it will be next time?

  • Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

    Doesn't do that for me. Try resetting the phone

The message on mine is"This iPad hasn't been backed up  in 3 weeks.Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."The message won't go away and the iPad is frozen,you can't unlock it or turn it off.Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

    Try to make a hard reboot of your device by pressing and holding down the home button + power button at the same time for ca. 10-20 sec. until the Apple logo appears.

  • Has anyone noticed how much slower it is to import photos from iphone to iphoto

    has anyone noticed how much slower it is to import photos from iphone to iphoto in Mac OS.?

    How many photos do you have in your iPhoto library? As your library grows, it will take more time to load when the app launches.Personally, I have not noticed any slowdown.
    And my question was meant to find out whether you import process had gotten slower than...a year ago, a month ago, compared to other photo apps? Running Mountain Lion..since you upgraded? In the end..what? Hence, I asked.
    Try being clearer next time. That way we don't have to beat around the bush when trying to help you.

    Ack! We don't need that much.
    What you posted looks like the iTunes Library.xml file  I will let you read about how iTunes works but not only is the .xml not your main library it is just the listing of tracks in your library and where the music files should be located.  Your music is actually in media files (by the way, it is pointless to zip those as they are already compressed).  Anyway, read these and you will see that your true library file (iTunes Library.itl) is only a small, but still important, part of a complete library.

    As you can see, a library has several components, so "getting it back" depends upon what is missing, what it was you actually backed up in the end, if any of this music was purchased from the iTunes Store, etc.

  • Anyone Notice Wirless  Sync

    Anyone  notice that you don't need to have the phone plugged in for it to sync wirelessly?  They seem to stress that the phone needs to be plugged in for it to sync.  Is that a bug or something?

    I have had this exact same thing happen to me. It is really annoying to have those pauses. Some songs have multiple pauses. I hope this is resolved when the final product is released.

  • Has anyone managed to load a movie on their Moza

    I've bought two of these things for the kids this Christmas, and I can load pictures, and music, but I can't seem to load any of my movies. Has anyone else While in the Central Software it shows the file transferring, it take a long time but finally gets to 00%. When I try to view it on the mp3 player it plays 5 seconds, and that's it. It obviously didn't transfer everything. It plays in Media Player as well. I tried to transfer it using media player too. It locks up and I have to end the program. I need a hammer.

    Re: Has anyone managed to load a movie on their Mozaic i With a screen resolution of 28 x 60 you're going to be hard-pressed to get great quality from downscaling a full-size movie. That said, you dissatisfaction with the movies converted by this Daniusoft application may simply indicate the compression level was too aggressi've. That would appear as blocky or splotchy areas during playback or freeze frames. With any converter you need to balance between the quality setting and the final output file size.
    If you search the forum you'll find mention of an application called BADAK http://www.robbiek.com/badak.htm. It is a free converter that is significantly faster than the once Creative bundles that has a preset option for the flash Zen. Those setting will probably work reasonably well for the Mosaic if you change the output resolution from 320x240 down to 60x28. However, I don't have a Mosaic so I'm speculating. Even so the presets may not be ideal for some source video being converted. Quality video transcoding is a "fiddle with it" process not a "one-button" process.
