Blemishes on iPhone 4 back for no apparent reason!

Just bought an iPhone 4 about 10 days ago, and had a case since opening the box. I took the case off one day to change the SIM and discovered to my horror, that the back was full of marks - not scratches, but kinda like small abrasions that are impossible to get off! Anyone have an idea of how they may be caused, or are they covered under warranty? I have never taken it out of the case since day one.

Do you have a case on the iPhone? Maybe it's creating a problem with the proximity sensor on the iPhone.
If that isn't it, try restoring the iPhone or having a Genius take a look at it.

  • My iphone stopped working for no apparent reason??

    Help!!!! My Iphone has stopped working for no apparent reason... Anyone else experiencing that kind of problem?!? I have the new I phone 4 S havent even had it a year.

    RM:  You saved the day for me.    I was at the ballgame and lost the use of iphone.   So when I got back I first had to remember that other electronics worked and I Googled the question.   Your answered of holding down both buttons at the same time worked.  But I had to do it several times.   I hope you know how much you have helped others with the simple answer first.
    I'm ready to resisitate any one now by pushing their buttons simultaneously.
    thanks.

  • My ipad went blank last night for no apparent reason.  It was on one minute, and then completely dark.  I didn't touch it, it just seemed to have died.  I tried turning it back on/off, but nothing happens.  Anyone else have a similar situation?

    Thansk for the reply King_Penguin...let me elaborate and see what you think...I had the ipad2 in the office and saw the battery was getting really low.  I tried charging it with the iphone charger (connects to my pc at work).  It took a while, but it got enough juice in the ipad2 to bring it back to life.  when I got home, I hooked it up, and got to about 50%.  All was fine, then I was attempting to hook it up to my TV with the AV adapter (or VGA adapter, whatever it is), left the ipad alone for a minute, came back to it, and that's when it went dark.  I tried the home/sleep buttons, but only for about 5 seconds...any other suggestions in case that doesn't work?  Thanks again...

  • My iphone 4s stopped charging for no apparent reason

    My iphone 4s stopped charging for no apparent reason...

    Hey guys,
    I have the same problem with a brand new 1  month old iphone 4S.
    It was perfect then last night I had this issue of not charging or not even recognizing that it was plugged in to charge. I have tried everything from a hard reset to trying different cables and outlets but o change. I am back to my old Nokia now and it kinda hurts. Quite the downgrade
    BFH 2011, did you sort your issue out? If so any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Iphone 5c makes sound for no apparent reason

    I am posting this on behalf of a friend. She just got a brand new iPhone 5C and she loves it, but at random times throughout the day, it plays a sound for no apparent reason. There is no notification, no email, no messages, no alarm... we've been through all the sounds and notification settings. We did identify the sound as "Popcorn", but nothing she on her phone that we can find actually uses that sound. It is driving her crazy. She has very few apps on this phone - Find My iPhone, Allrecipes, AskMD, Pandora, 70's Radio and MapMyWalk. We went into each of these apps to find sound settings and, if they had one, we turned it off. Her phone is possessed! Please help us find the source, as we are going crazy.

    Try resetting your phone. Press and hold down both the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears then let go. You won't lose any data.
    There are a number of things you can check to improve battery performance in this article. https://www.apple.com/ca/batteries/maximizing-performance/#ios
    If none of the above help then the next step would be to Restore. Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings This will erase everything on your phone so back up your data first.

  • Iphone 6 gets hot for no apparent reason

    For no apparent reason, the iPhone 6 gets very hot.  I have found that I must turn the phone completely off and then start it again.  It then starts to cool down.  WHY does the phone get physically hot?

  • Cannot send email from my iPhone or iPad. The server rejects a recepient for no apparent reason.  The recipient is not new.  This issue happens on reply or reply to all or froward; not a new email. What is happening?

    I talked with a tech today and he said I cloud is having problems which should be resolved shortly.
    In the mean time I used the .me smtp server settings which allowed me to send mail.

  • For no apparent reason, the printing from the iPad to the HP wireless printer was no more possible, while it was still possible from the iPhone.

    For no apparent reason, the printing from the iPad to the HP wireless printer was no more possible, while it was still possible from the iPhone 5. Any idea why?

    Gutenprint drivers are intended for non-laser printers. HP supplies the proper drivers, and you can download the latest version directly from HP's support site. Or you can install the most recent HP drivers provided by Apple.
    Printing speeds do not include the time it may take to transfer data to the printer. It also doesn't take into account the time it takes for the printer to be prepared to start printing. Color is much slower than B/W.
    Contact HP for any additional assistance you may need since these forums do not provide support for non-Apple products.

    Hi,
    For no apparent reason my phone stopped working...so I did a reset and got the message 'Restore Needed'. I connected to iTunes and got this message: 'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on your iPhone before it can be used with iTunes'.
    The problem is, I can't enter my passcode because I'm not given that option on the iPhone. All I seem to be able to do is make an emergency call.
    It's been working fine otherwise. Any suggestions?
    This is the SECOND replacement iPhone I've had this week and I'm getting a bit fed up.
    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Are you referring to the 4 digit passcode needed to enter the phone and use it's features?
    If so reboot your iPhone and enter the passcode to get it operational.  Launch Image Capture on the Mac and connect the iPhone.  Now you should be able to download the video files to wherever you want on your hard drive.

  • Backing Files Stop Working For No Apparent Reason.  Help?

    I have a portal application accessing a remote WSRP PageFlow portlet. The remote portlet populates a backing file and the producer application reads the data. It was working fine and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. The data was simply null, no errors or warnings. I put traces in the backing file and verified that the life-cycle methods were indeed being called and that data was there, and yes, both were indeed the case. Data is being set on the SimpleStateHolder and it's just not transferring over to the producer side.
    In order to rule out environmental issues, I've done this on multiple machines. Also, I started a whole new project, got backing file setup, verified that it worked, started developing with it and one time I deployed and it was broken again. I rolled out the changes I had just made but it didn't matter. The earlier code still failed to work although it had been working moments earlier.
    So, any ideas? Has anybody else encountered backing file issues like this and if so do you have any suggestions on debugging or fixing them?

  • New to Macbook Air. Screen suddenly expands to 4-500% for no apparent reason. Have to use back arrow to return but lose what I've been typing. What am I doing to cause this?

    New to Macbook Air. Screen suddenly expands to 4-500% for no apparent reason. Have to use back arrow to return but lose what I've been typing. What am I doing to cause this?

    Next time you want to put your iMac screen to sleep, try switching off the Magic Mouse, wait for the notification to come up on the screen telling you the Magic Mouse has been disconnected, wait for it to disappear then press the keyboard shortcut to put the screen to sleep. See if that helps and we'll go from there. If that doesn't help, can you just say wether the screen always turns back on the same time every time?
    Hope that helps
