Black negative displays on recent iPhones?

I just got an iPhone today, 8gb, and it has black negatives, on the display like people were having with the iPod Touches.
The blacks look just awful, whereas my iPhone before did not. Quite frustrating. I hope others are having better luck.

Greetings scubastevie,
Having had multiple iPhones with Geek Squad Protection plans, I can understand why you would be disappointed in being advised to take your phone to Apple, especially if the manufacturer’s warranty isn't valid. If we have the capability to help, we shouldn't be directing you to someone else when you've sought out assistance from us.
Reaching out to the manufacturer is typically a great option, especially with an issue that is covered under a valid warranty, but it wouldn't make much sense to direct you there if it had expired. However, if our Geek Squad Protection plan doesn't cover the issue, we may direct you there to see if they may have any options available.
I’m truly sorry if you encountered such an experience when attempting to use your Geek Squad Protection plans with your iPhone 5’s at the Chesterfield, MI store. It’s regretful to hear the replacement you received had issues, although I’m glad you were able to finally get it exchanged.
I’m grateful that you've brought these experiences to our attention. While it is disheartening to hear you no longer feel that our Geek Squad Protection plans are worthwhile, I’m happy to hear you have some sort of protection for your iPhone 5s. I will be making sure to forward your concerns onto the Chesterfield, MI store’s leadership. If you should have any questions or concerns in the future, please let me know.
Respectfully,

IPhone photo "Negative" display mode.

How do I get my iPhone out of photo "negative" display mode? It went to this mode all of a sudden when I pushed the home buttom at the bottom of the iPhone.

Push the home button three times.

Can't see Bluetooth icon displayed on my iPhone 4

Can't see Bluetooth icon displayed on my iPhone 4 after I got it replaced..(new)

He Modular747,
Thanks for the reply. I tried clearing the recents and now can see the new calls being registered in the call log. Initially it was only showing me the calls until the 21st of June and not the later ones. Appreciate your answer.
Could you please tell me what is the maximum size for the call log, it will surely help me in clearing the same at the proper time.

Negative display!

Somehow I've managed to change my display to negative, so the screen's black and everything else is the reverse of how it should be!
I must have pressed some sort of key combination - I think I was trying to get a symbol by using control/alt...
I can't get it back to normal - when I restart, it comes up normal for a while, then just switches to negative when the restart process finishes..
Any ideas anyone?!?!
Cheers!
Mac G4 1.25GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Not to worry - a quick search for 'negative display' produced results to solve my problem (control-al-option-8 did the trick!)

Gregory Johnson, Director of the Consumer Defense Resource Group, responds to the recent iPhone price drop.

Gregory Johnson, Director of the Consumer Defense Resource Group, responds to the recent iPhone price drop.
In a strange turn of events this week, some consumers are upset now because as of Wednesday (Sept. 5) Apple lowered the retail price of their iPhone by $200. The 8GB iPhone is now $400 rather than $600. Customers raised such an outcry that Steve Jobs has published an open letter in response.
Apple and other companies are continually coming out with new products that usually offer more speed, more storage, more features, and cost less than previous models. Nobody has ever complained -- until now. Why haven't people complained in the past when Apple has had significant price drops and major upgrades on their other products? There wasn't a revolt then. There were no mobs of angry customers demanding rebates.
My first CD drive was a 2X speed external drive that required a special interface card in the computer. It cost $1,200 and today better drives are available for about $30. My first scanner was a very slow and big unit costing over $1,000. Today, better scanners are available for under $100. My first computer cost more than $2,000 and had a 20MB hard drive. With 8GB of storage, the iPhone should cost about $800,000. So, $600 didn’t seem too expensive.
I bought my iPhone for $600 knowing that by next year they would probably drop to about $300 or $400. I didn't think there would be a mid-year drop, but so what. I knew the trajectory of technology progress would mean that a better phone will be available in 6 to 9 months at probably a lower price -- more apps, faster, more features, more memory. It's a given. You buy something this month. Next month it will be obsolete. That's just the way it is. Perhaps Apple should put a disclaimer on their website stating: "Warning: Our products will increasingly become faster, cooler, more innovative, and offer greater value for the dollar as time goes on. Get used to it."
Apple is progressing so quickly now, beyond any other technology innovation company, that this kind of thing is likely to happen again in the future with some other product of theirs. Are people going to complain each time? Must the company give out rebates each time? This all seems so silly. It’s no longer possible to compare Apple to other companies with regard to their ability to implement product improvements. It’s like dog years versus human years. Two months in Apple’s world of product development is equal to about 6 to 9 months for most manufacturers. I know it is difficult, but people need to get used to that.
To the complainers out there, I have a few questions. Would you like Apple to be less innovative? Would you like Apple to not give you more value and voluntarily drop their prices by hundreds of dollars? Is that what you want? Don't get upset at Apple just because they are pushing the envelope of technical innovation and value from one month to the next. What if Apple released an 8-core computer this summer and then by fall they announced their new 16-core computer? This is the kind of development and progress pace we need to start expecting from Apple. The migration to Intel processors went much faster than anticipated.
Some research suggests that the iPhone cost of materials are about $300. So, there had been some complaints that Apple is price gouging by selling the iPhone for twice that amount. What people don’t understand is that there are other costs in building a piece of technology and running a business beyond the electronic components that go into them. The actual cost per 8GB iPhone is probably about $550. When Apple sells them for $400 each, I calculate they are taking a loss on the phone of about $150 per phone. Why would a company do this? There is something called a “lost leader” in retail sales. It’s a product you sell below your cost in an effort to rapidly expand your customer base. I’m guessing this is what Apple is doing by offering the iPhone at such an amazingly low price.
I'm planning to purchase an Apple notebook sometime soon. I'm not in a hurry, so I'm waiting until they announce the next major upgrade to their notebook line. I'm guessing it will be this fall. If I really was in a rush to get a notebook, I'd get one now, and then be a little disappointed when the new ones are announced -- but I wouldn’t be surprised. Instead, I'm waiting. I'd like to see built-in broadband cards (cellular data access) and LED back lighting in the 17-inch notebook. Perhaps larger hard drives and faster processors would be nice. It would be wonderful if it had an optical glass touch screen like the iPhone.
This latest uproar reminds me of the consumer complaints about iPods scratching. For decades, portable handheld computing devices have been available. They get scratched, and nobody says anything. Anyone concerned about their device scratching can purchase a protective cover. Then Apple comes along and offers their product. Suddenly consumers are in an uproar about it scratching and there is a class action lawsuit. It doesn’t seem fair that the most progressive and innovative company out there is the one that gets beaten up by consumers the most.

I've read too many reports in the media from people more highly credentialed than Mr. Johnson to the contrary.
The analogies and comparisons are still way off. Production didn't get cheaper, the phone didn't get upgraded, no carrier's are subsidizing, retailer's are not discounting. Never has the MSRP of CD-ROMs, nor cellphones, nor HDTV's dropped this quickly in history.
I'm tired and going to bed. But here's your assignment. Apple's price decrease rate is 33.3% in 67 days. What would a $10,000 item cost at that rate in one year?
Actually product advancement and innovation are very much the central issue here. Apple has effectively "upgraded" the 4GB unit to 8GB and reduced the price by $100. It's all in how you look at it.
The real issue of innovation and development has yet to be seen, but the recent price drop is an indicator that Apple already has something "in the shoot" to be released soon.
I was thinking it might take a year for a new version of the iPhone to be announced. Yet, with the recent price drop, it seems they may be lowering the price on the original unit to make room for a new one. Which is my point exactly. Apple is so fast at innovating that they already have something new to release (that's my prediction).
They can't release something new and sell the old units if the "something new" and the "something old" are at the same price. It makes sense that the 8GB unit would drop to $400 and the new one will be $600.

Ios 6: Apps no longer displaying on my iPhone 4S

After downloading ios 6, I noticed that certain apps are no longer displayed on my iPhone 4S screen. I had these apps grouped under 2 different folders and the folders plus the apps were removed from my screen. I can view the apps under purchased but the only option it gives me is "open". After I open, I can access the apps, but it does not install the app back on my screen. It is frustrating because I do not get my notifications and I have to go to the app store to access my previously purchased apps. Does anyone know how I can get these apps back on my screens? Please help. Thanks!

@Briantopp, THANKS so much... I feel a little silly, but am so happy that the solution was that simple. Thank you so much for responding to my question. I really appreciate it!!!!!

Hi Fred,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

The colour of your iPhone is insignificant. Can you explain what you mean by "my Apple iphone 4 died it been and hour already been charged it all night", which makes no sense at all? If English is not your native language, you are free to post in your own language.

The display on my iPhone only works vertically. It will not change when I rotate my phone.

Swipe up on the bottom of the screen to expose control center and see if the orientation lock is on (top row of controls, far right; looks like a lock with a circular arrow).
Not all apps support orientation changes, BTW.

Can I use the display from the iphone or rotate so that I can use the tv in portrait orientation? or rotate the display of the tv?

Can I use the display from the iphone or rotate so that I can use the tv in portrait orientation with a app or appleTV? or rotate the display of the tv?

The landscape and portrait mode when AirPlaying your iPhone to the Apple TV will depend on the app you are in on the iPhone.
For example, the home screen on your iPhone is in portrait mode even if you rotate the phone, so if you are AirPlay mirroring this, it will show in portrait mode on the TV. If you have photos taken in landscape mode and rotate your phone or watch a video in landscape mode, then the video should appear in landscape mode on the TV.
If things that should be in landscape mode are not in landscape mode, you might have the orientation lock turned on. You can turn it off or on using the steps in this link: http://www.cultofmac.com/142535/how-to-enable-orientation-lock-on-your-ios-devic es-ios-tip/
I hope this helps!
