Backlight on iphone 3G not working properly.

the light on my iphone 3G is really really dim.  i can barely make out anything.  for a while the battery wouldn't seem to hold charge, and the phone was dead unless i plugged it in.  that problem SEEMS to have corrected itself, as i have been walking around today, i have made a phone call successfully.... fingers crossed about that.  BUT the light is still dim and the brightness setting in settings does nothing....
any thoughts?  thanks!

Am I the only one who thinks this is disgusting?
I am an application developer and have been seriously hampered by this issue, which I wrongly attributed to an app I was working on.
What is worse is that it still isn't fixed! All I have managed to do is narrow it down to the type of operation that causes the crash - the one thing the that makes the iPhone an interesting proposition - its' internetwork connectivity! As long as your app doesn't go online, it shouldn't crash (provided memory allocation, etc... is all written properly)
What the he11? (I can't believe that word is censored!). This is unbelievable! How come the Apple apps do not have this issue? A suspicious mind might think that there is something foul going on here...
Apple - If you ever want to be taken seriously by the development community, you have got to fix these issues. I was annoyed by the DRM, paying for the 'priviledge' of developing on the iPhone, the poor emulator (you can't even turn off the network stack to test loss of connectivity), buying a device and a mac, not to mention learn a new (lesser in my opinion) IDE in XCode - but this is disgusting.
How are you ever going to convince business to put money into this platform if the software that they develop could have the rug pulled out from under it at any time (Re. The application crashing).
I am starting to think that Apple has even more disdain for their customers than most regular PC developers I know...
This issue needs fixing - no ifs, no buts and no bloody fancy widgets! The basics have to work if this platform is going to be taken seriously and not just be a forum for another free f@rt machine app.
Gee

  • Connecting my iphone to wall charger makes my iphone touch not work properly

    I have a iphone 3g and a orignal apple wall charger when i connect my iphone to charger it makes my iphone touch not work properly, but it charges the phone properly.the data cable is also working properly. So can any one help me out here.thanks

    Holy smokes, I thought I was losing my mind, but that's the exact same thing that's started happening to me since this whole 4.3.1 "upgrade" disaster started - hooking it up to the wall charger overnight, wake up in the morning and it's a brick requiring multiple attempts to restart.
    It's also randomly and spontaneously crashing - it'll be on the table or couch beside me, I'll catch movement out of the corner of my eye and look over and see a silver apple.

  • Unlocked iphone 5 not working properly

    I bought a brand new unlocked iphone 5 on ebay off of a seller (a legit seller). I got my phone today, and started to set my phone up and then I noticed the camera would not work. When I open the camera app, it is just a blank screen. SOMETIMES, the frontal view camera will work, and when I would switch it back to the regular view, it would just freeze and be blurry. and sometimes, the frontal view doesn't even work. I talked to a friend who is very good with phones and she suggest that there was probably a problem with unlocking the phone. She thinks the phone was not unlocked properly and I was wondering if that seems like its the case? I was wondering what I could even do now, because I can't just get a replacement phone from apple because it will not be unlocked. I am wondering what are my options?? I am already trying and getting a refund from the ebay seller, but I have no way of buying the iphone 5 online or at any T mobile store since it has been "discontinued". I was wondering what I can do???

    Hi sophia,
    All you can do is return the phone to the seller. It is defective. If you want an iPhone 5, you will have to continue to look for one via a 3rd party seller. Be advised, however, that you must make sure the phone has been complete wiped, and Find My iPhone has been turned off, or you will not be able to use the phone.
    Cheers,

  • IPhone 5 not working properly with  USB interface in Honda Accord.

    The iPhone 5 seems not to work properly with the USB interface in my 2012 Honda Accord. It says I have 500  songs when I only have 430, it skips over songs and freezes during play.

    I actually have a different problem. I am unable to play Pandora through my USB connection in my 2012 Honda Accord SE with my iPhone 5. I can't get map directions through my speakers or any sounds at all. Any idea if a fix will be available?

  • New iphone 5 not working properly

    Why my iphone not showing the plug icon on battery even it is 100% charge ,lightning icon is not changing .and also the rotation of the screen is not working ..what should i do?its is new just used it for one day.

  • Camera lock screen iPhone 5 not working properly after upgrade to iOS 8

    After I installed iOS 8 on the iPhones 5 of my and my wife's the camera on the lock screen isn't working properly anymore. When I swipe up, the camera starts but the screen turns black within less then a second.
    On the iPad 2 and the iPad Air (both upgraded to iOS 8) I don't have this problem. It seems to be iPhone 5 specific.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Having the same problem.  I'm on an iPhone 5 and I have updated to 8.0.2.  When I go to apps directly from the lock screen (timer, calculator, camera) it opens up then immediately turns into a black screen.  It appears that removing my passcode fixes this bug, but I can't have an unsecured phone.  Please help Apple!

  • Outlook Calender and iphone sync not working properly (windows 7 os)

    I try to sync through itunes and contacts work fine, but the calender only comes through partially. Single events work fine, but events (on outlook) which extend more than a day are completely ignored by itunes sync and don't show up on the iphone calender.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Alright... I think I have worked this out.
    Clearing history alone was not enough. I had to clear the history THEN reboot the phone.  My events seem to be coming though now. Interesting though... on events coming from iphone to outlook the right click mouse menu is disabled. If I want to delete, edit or alter that event in outlook I have to left click and actually open it.

  • Iphone 3gs not working properly after update to ios4

    I updated my 3gs to ios4 and have had nothing but problems since doing so. My battery is draining faster than ever, I have had problems syncing with the exchange server at work which has always worked perfectly before, my reception is horrible in places where it used to be just fine, such as my house. I am constantly dropping calls in my house where I know my phone worked just fine before. I know Apple says their formula for figuring signal strength is inaccurate and has been for years, but that really has nothing do to with the fact that my phone used to work at my house and now it doesn't. Regardless of what the signal shows, I know I used to talk on my phone at my house and now it's a real pain in the a** to try to get through a conversation. Also many of my apps such as weather and stock apps will not update sometimes for a couple of days, no matter where I am or what the signal strength says. Has anyone else had a combination of these problems and if so any luck fixing any of them?
    Thanks

    Apple release an article after iOS4 came out about downloading a new exchange file
    Seen here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3398
    I would start by doing this fix and see if that helps out any of your issues.
    I would suggest to sync everything and then back it up, restore your device to 'new', download this new exchange fix and then either restore your phone or better, re-sync you phone.
    Good Luck

  • Iphone 5 not working properly

    Hi, Recently my iphone 5 has been acting up a lot. first it started to lag a lot, then battery icon will tell me it's fully charged, but it's not. Now the screen will turn green (sometimes it will have lines appear) turn off and turn back on. not sure, but Before this, there was a storm and the electricity left and came back very fast multiply times. It has suffered a few big drops with a otter box on, and was left charging in a car that was turned off ( Not sure if that would effect it ). I have backed it up and restored it and it is still doing this. I have apple care and what not so replacing it isn't a big deal, but I just want to know what I can do. Thanks.

    Dropping the phone could have caused this, here's what you can try first:
    Set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If this does not help, contact Apple to get it serviced:

  • Right side of iPhone 4S not working properly

    The right side of my screen started getting a little bit weird just a few weeks ago. At first I ignored it because it just starts working again randomly, but now it just happening more often, and now I think this time it won't go away, the problem is that the right side of my screen doesn't respond to touches, sometimes it responds but I have to touch harder and multiple times, and most of the time when I'm typing something it presses search when I try to backspace or reach a word near search. Also I noticed that the right side responds to touches without me touching it, I just put my finger over the music app for example, and sometimes it opens, from just putting my finger near the app, I don't touch the screen, it's like it has a super sensor or something, and sometimes it responds to touches on the top right corner by touching the area next to speaker, not the actual screen, and again, it does that whenever it feels like doing that, but the right side has been unresponsive almost all day today, the only way to open apps is by tapping harder, most of the time it doesn't respond, and it detects touches in some places from 2 or 3 cm away, this is all just with the right side of my screen and I have tried putting phone in DFU mode, and respringing, but non of that works and I don't wanna restore as I will lose fw 5.1.1 ( I don't like iOS 6), so my question is, would this be a software problem, or should I take phone to a nearby apple store for them to check it, it's still under warranty, the phone is in perfect condition, no scratches or anything, I've always had a case with it, the problem is not the case since it does the same without the case, if there is something wrong with it, I'd like a repair, but I can also have a new phone as long as it's free and I can get all my apps back.

    Also, one of the main reasons of why  I think it might just be a software bug is because just now it started working randomly again for like 1-3  min, it works fluently, like nothing is wrong with screen, it responds just in time, everything works perfectly, and then it goes back to its old unresponsive state, registering touches from a distance etc...

    the one that is using for making phone calls is the bottom one.Therefore top 1 is good but bottom is not.
