Crack with red dot on my iPhone 3G??

A couple weeks ago a tiny hairline fracture crack started forming @ the bottom right of my iphone.. I did not drop it, I have no idea how it got there to be honest. I didn't take it in to Apple because I figured they would say it's my fault. Well, now I just noticed @ the bottom of the crack there is a little flickering red dot.
What is this????

As far as I know Apple is covering hairline stress cracks that are forming in the plastic backing. I've actually had 3 replacement white iPhone 3GS, and the only thing Apple has been checking has been the water sensors. All of my phones have been less than 2 months old, and in near mint condition, so they haven't had to question abuse, but if the phone was heavily scratched or there were dents I'm sure they would question abuse.
As far as the flickering red dot goes, I haven't heard of that before. All of the stress cracks I have seen have been minute and not even all the way through the backing. I say take it to Apple and show them. Just be honest and see what they think.

HT1296 red dot events in iphone calendar do not sync to outlook, only blue dot events

In first calendar sync with outlook after setting up iCloud account, there are numerous double entries for events on iPhone calendar, one with red dot and the other with blue dot. Also, some of red dot events on iPhone calendar do not sync to Outlook. How do I fix this?

HT1937 how do I get rid of the red dot on my iPhone, phone icon?

If you did that already and looked at your recent calls and the red dot doesn't disappear then try rebooting the phone. Hold down the Sleep and the Home buttons until the Apple logo displays on the screen.

Iphone calendar entry comes up with red dot?

I entered an entry on my iphone calendar that somehow had a red dot associated with it. As opposed to either blue or green, home or work, the standard calendars I have. Sync between my iphone entries and the mobilme 'cloud' has been working fine except for this one entry. It doesn't appear on the mobilme server's calendar nor any of my ical's on my computers. I don't know how this red color was assigned to it, because I didn't, at least not on purpose. Any thoughts?

How annoying. I just found this too. Right after I re-signed up with Apple's less than stellar MobileMe service b/c I can't find any other way to sync my contacts and calendar. What a waste of $99 per year for something so simple considering how much this phone can do.
Anyway, here;s what i have found:
When inputting a new appt in iPhone - with MobileMe in effect - I now see an option called Calendar (under "Repeat" and "Alert" in input screen). When I leave new appt in default iPhone calendar the date gets red dot and does NOT sync with MobileMe. So - and here's the annoying part - the only way I can make sure my newly input appts get synced to MobileMe and my Outlook on PC is if I take the additional 3 button clicks/steps to click "MobileMe" in Calendar section.
If I do that then the appt gets a blue dot and syncs properly across the board
I am very VERY disappointed and how unsimple (unApple) they have made syncing contacts and calendar with this phone. If anyone else finds diff, please tell me

Closing (with red dot) will quit iPhoto after 10.6.2?

Hi,
pressing on the red dot normally closes a window but will not quit the application.
Not in iPhoto?
After updating to 10.6.2 I noticed an inconsistent behavior. Pressing the red dot in iPhoto will quit the application. Is this normal behavior?
thanks

Hi, thanks for answering.
I usually do not use the mouse for closing a windows (using cmd + w).
But its still confusing for me.
cmd + q = Quit
cmd + w = close window
cmd + h= hide window
only difference between hide and close is cmd + tab usage. i .e. if I hide and cmd + tab the program, the window will come up, with cmd + w the window will not show.
I normaly leave my programs running, even if they do nothing. But if I want to use one, its starts instantaneous: less than 1 sec versus 10 s (iphoto). So I have plenty of programs open, even if I do not use them actively.
I was just wondering, because usually cmd + w does not quit the app.
thanks for reply!

Tiny red dot appera on iPhone 4.

Tiny red dot appears only when I make a call. It's located above the speaker. I know its the proximity sensor.
But it shouldnt light up right? Anyone else have this problem?
I notice it for quite awhile now, but now it's getting me.
Is it because of the software update?!? But I had it before I update to iOS 4.1.
Any suggestion/comment will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

I appear to have the same problem whereby the red dot appears on the phone icon without no messages being present and I do not appear to be able to reset/remove it, enven though I have followed all the various threads posted above, thus the red dot pursues, aka the "scarlet pimpernail"!
If only I could reset it I would be really happy but no joy and I don't fancy performing a re-install of the IOS (7), so for now I'm having to live with it unless anyone out there know how to remove the "Scarlet Pimpernail"

What is the best way to keep up with "RED" agents?

TES 6.03.265
Hello all,
I'm fairly new to Tidal, and have a question mainly for those managing a hundred or more agents.
We have several hundred agents, and it is difficult for the operators to track & follow-up on all of the "RED" agents.
In the GUI, one cannot sort by "red or green"....and the other view of agents - the "master" view of connections - does not distinguish between disabled agents and broken (red) agents...it shows them all as "grey".
We REALLY need for our operations team to worry about RED agents....not so much the disabled agents (which are grey in both views).
A job that runs at a regular interval, and emails a list of any "RED" agents that it finds....would probably work just fine for us, if nothing better was available.
But I can't figure out the query....the closest I can get is to report on all inactive agents with "null" time zones....but I have seen where agents are green with no timezone (the master's agent) and red WITH a timezone (an aix agent)....so that is not 100% reliable.
I guess my question boils down to this: how does that agent status dot turn "RED"?
Is that value extracted from a table, or does something trigger it to go red?
What does everyone else who manages hundreds of agents do to keep up with all the RED ones?
Thanks, - Steve

Thanks Tracy,
Guess I need to drill down a bit deeper.
My goal is to give the operators the ability to take a list of "RED" jobs - that they could generate by running a "report" or running a "report job", or by grouping them together in the client so they could copy/paste only the rows with RED dots....anything to generate a list that they could save as a txt file or attach to an email to another team, things like that. Sometimes we have a lot of broken agents to keep up with.
I've had mixed results with the alerts/events, anyway, in terms of general monitoring...sometimes we have a lot of agents that go from green to red back to green before the operator could even isolate the agent in question....a lot of false alarms...tweaking the timeout settings didn't help much, and a value too big seems to hang up the agent processes...not a good thing.
Thanks again for the response!

What is the process for connecting ethernet. Have ethernet cable connected to stereo received for internet radio and Blue Ray. However Network System Preferences indicates ethernet not connected and has red dot to left. Note Airport wireless is working.

What is the process for connecting airport extreme ethernet? I have ethernet cables connected to stereo receiver for internet radio and another to blue ray player. The system preference network indicates "ethernet not connected" with red dot to left of this message. The airport wireless works and has green dot to left of it. The stereo receiver and blue ray player do not respond and give message not connect to internet. Thank you. / cfpirate

It worked for me finally. I took out the DNS numbers in airport admin utility, and restarted the airport express. I do not remember putting the DNS numbers in, I wonder from where the airport express got those numbers.
After restarting, it worked.
Thanks!

HT4515 hi! I have a red dot on my phone and it is the first time I see it, why?

Hi! I have a red dot on my iphone 5s and it is on the phone. Why?

Is it on the Phone app?
If so the red dot means that you have a voicemail, but voicemail is unavailable.
Is cellular data turned off?

External display problems, Red dots.

Display on external monitor is plagued with red dots and horizontal lines, this only occurs with certain resolutions (particularly high resolutions). I have a late 2010 revision of the Macbook Air ultimate 13inch, using a Griffin mini-display to DVI/HDMI (i have tried both HDMI and DVI), display is an ASUS 24inch (have also tried a dell 23inch, to the same problem). I would really like to be able to use this display with my Air but the red flickering is annoying to view.

I have the same problem. I bought my Retina Macbook early so Jun 2012 I think and I got a new one for work Early 2013. Both have the same problem. I had the LCD burn in problem with the first one and when I asked apple about the red dots while they were replacing the display they said it was because it was trying to push too much data to the external display. I seriously doubt that but they said there would be an update to fix the problem which never came.
Right now my guess is that the DVI adapter I have maybe suspect but I haven't tried to replace it yet.

Can you play those songs in iTunes on your computer?
Make sure they are all part of your iTunes library before you sync and that they were bought with the same AppleID you use on your phone.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or take the phone into an Authorized Apple Service provider.

How do I make the new voicemail notification (red dot) go away on iPhone 4?

I got a voicemail and listened to it and deleted it. now the little red dot over the phone icon is still on and won't go away. I have iPhone 4 and just updated to 4.3.5. I'm with TELUS in Canada. Any help would be apreciated.

why did you revive a thread that had been dead for two years? next time, make sure you're posting on an active thread.

I had the exact same problem. Iphone 5s on SpeakOut711/Rogers, Canada. There was no voicemail message, and yet the voicemail icon one the phone (dual spools thingy) stays on, regarless of how many times I check my voicemail.
I got it to 'reset' like this:
- Call your own cell phone and leave yourself a voice message.
- Wait for a few minutes.
- Check your voicemail from your cell phone by pressing (touching?) the voicemail icon which has the red dot (although it may also work if you checked via land line, but not sure).
- Delete your message.
You will notice that the icon disappears as soon as you hangup your call. It looks like some voicermail notification sync error between phone and the service provider.
Hope this helps someone.

My iphone 4s will not play most of my songs. they appear grey in the list with a dotted circle in front of them. how do i fix this?

My Iphone 4s stopped playing a majority of my songs after i tried to sync a cd to my phone through itunes. The songs will open but will not play. They remain at zero. They appear to be grey on the list instead of the usual black font color and they have dotted grey circles in front of them when they are opened in my itunes account under the phone. In the phone's song list they are also grey, with red boxes within a circle behind their titles. In my general itunes music library the songs play perfectly fine. It is only under my phone that i am having issues. can anyone tell me why; or how to correct the problem?

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Why does all my iPhones music have red dots next to them and won't go away?? HELP!!!!!

When h downloaded music on my iphone 5 four weeks ago, it had red dots next to every song and when I click on them they turn light red then back to red. They have a red circle with a red square in middle, and they won't load! :( They won't even let me delete the song HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!

I had this issue on my iphone 4, and two songs listed on the iPhone in iTunes had the dotted circle. I researched it, and I found a hundred different answers. Some were complicated like uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. All I did was this... In iTunes under Music, I simply unchecked Sync Music, and I deleted all music from my iPhone. I then checked Sync Music, chose all the songs I wanted. No songs in iTunes had dotted circles, and all songs on my iPhone played.
