Dark spots appear in transitioning lock/home screen

When you guys unlock your iphone 5s screen using your fingerprint, do you see a really fast black spots on the top half of screen? Like during the transition between the lock screen and the home screen - it lasts about 0.5 second. The spots are not from water damage since I just got my phone 20 days ago and it hasn't touched water yet. This problem appeared after I updated to iOS version 7.1.1
I changed my background to a different color and now the pixels are white.

Settings --> Wallpaper --> (select whichever image or photo you want to use) --> Set, choose Lock Screen, Home Screen, or Both

Dark spots on MBP 17" (Early 2008) screen

The dark spot has returned. Since my last post (copy below), I've had it into the genius bar for service, and they ended up having to ship it to a repair depot. I am just inside of my 90-days warranty, and it has happened again. I do not know what causes this, as my machine is my baby.
It's like a grey shadow on part of the screen, but it appears clear as day on a white screen (browser, photoshop, whatever turns all the pixels white).
I'm afraid that my last experience with Apple support was AWFUL! My computer was being repaired under AppleCare, but they kept it for 2 weeks before performing any work. I am afraid that if I go t get it repaired now (that I am no longer under AppleCare, and do not have an AppleCare plan), that they'll basically tell me I'm SOL. This shouldn't be happening again.
Dark spot on 10 month old MBP non-glossy screen
Posted: Feb 17, 2009 9:26 AM
My screen has developed a dark spot near the center of the screen. The MBP itself has been in a hard Speck case since the day I got the computer. No drops, and has been cared for very well. I am still under warranty. Is this something AppleCare or Warranty will cover?
Mac Book Pro (Early 2008) Mac OS X (10.5.6) 4GB RAM

well... you were never under applecare to begin with, that is a purchased extra.
you were under the original warranty which has now expired, which means you are NOT eligible to enroll the machine into applecare.
Call the 800 # & speak with customer relations if you have to. they should be able to fix the machine again as the repair is covered for 90 days.
if you wish not to send it in, they can issue a ticket # which you can then take the machine to a local auth. service center. they can use the ticket / incident # to order parts & fix your machine.

Do I have to live with dark/dead pixels with my new 15" MBP? Yesterday I bought one and have one dark spot in the middle of the screen.

Hello
Yesterday I bought a 15" MBP and found a dark spot in the middle of its screen right away while in the 1st-time-welcome-boot. What a welcome. Do I have to live with it? It is exactly one pixel missing its yellow subpixel. It would be ok if it would be in some corner - but its right in the middle of the screen. Suggestions/experiences in this matter anyone?

Thanks for your suggestions - took it back - got a new, mint, shiny one

If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

Camera link on locked home screen

Camera link on locked home screen - when clicked, doesn't direct me to camera, Button just 'bounces' and stays on locked screen

Tap on the camera icon and then drag it from the bottom to the top of the screen.

Photos on my locked home screen.

How do I remove the photos from my locked home screen?

I don't understand the question. What exactly do you mean?
I'm just taking a wild guess here ...If you are running a slide show (picture frame) from the locked screen, just tap one of the photos and then slide to unlock. The slide show will end and you will bring up the home screen.

Get rid of intrusive HUGE and UGLY dark bands behind HUGE icons on Home Screen

How do I get rid of the intrusive, huge and ugly dark bands behind the huge icons, and reduce the size of the icons on the Home Screen?
On my 8320 I can use pictures of my kids for wallpaper. On the 8900 they have wasted half of the beautiful screen with these huge ugly icons and dark bands - cuts right through two of my kids eyes and two of my kids mouths and below.
What were they thinking? They advertise the 8900 (and the 8520) by emphasizing a full screen picture - but when you actulally buy the phones, they have inserted these cursed screenscape hogs. Any firmware fixes yet? Or, now that Nokia has released their E71 that not only handles email as well as my BB, but also allows me to create and edit docx, should I abandon the 8900 as a lost cause and buy the E71? And, as long as we are discussing RIM's myopic short sightedness, why no 3G on this device?
Please hurry, my buyers remorse clock is ticking and I need to send this thing back to the carrier if it can't be fixed.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, to change the size (I have six icons per row not five) go to options>advanced options>accessability and change the amount on the grid. Default 6x6, then 4x4 3x3 etc., you can also change the colours. Hope I`m not barking up the wrong tree but have bbn of help! Regards Kew

Why don't new apps appear on the first home screen page?

I like keeping a very minimal home screen (six folders and that's it). Every time I download new apps, they appear on a second page even though there are plenty of slots left on the first page. I then have to move them back - one by one - to the first page again and sort them into folders. Is this a bug, or is there some reason why it should work like this?

From my observation, what you're seeing is the way it works. I have a few empty slots on my first page. When I download apps, they don't go there. They go to whatever page after that has space. I suspect Philly_Phan is probably on to something. I know I only keep the things I use a lot on my first page. I wouldn't want it getting clutter with every free game I downloaded to try out.
You could submit a suggestion to Apple requesting that it work differently:

Best of luck.

Locked Home Screen - help

My iPhone 4S is not accepting my pin code. Siri is telling me the home screen is locked. Not sure how it happened, can only assume I hit the wrong key or key combinations at some point while using it this afternoon. Any suggestions? Far from home and my iTunes software is on another computer.

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

IPhone 6 Plus lock home screen only in portrait?

Hey, I wonder if there is a way to lock the home screen only to make it stay in portrait but everything still goes to landscape in the apps?
The portrait lock locks everything and I don't want that, I only want to disable the rotation in homescreen.

I want the same thing. But if you don't mind text and icons being a little bigger, I think you can turn on the zoom setting under display & brighteness, I think that will stop the home screen from rotating without locking everything else.

Downloaded apps appear as waiting on home screen but I can open them from the App Store. How do I fix this?

I bought a replacement iPhone 4 online because my old one broke about two months before my contract expires. I took it to Sprint to activate it, they reset the entire phone, activated, etc. I restored my phone from an iCloud backup (which I'd made right before going to Sprint), and now about half my apps have downloaded normally, while the other half say "Waiting" and can't be deleted (no X button). The strange thing is that if I go into the App Store and look at my purchased apps, the apps that say waiting can be opened and used by pressing the "Open" button there, so I know the app is downloaded and installed but the icons on the home screen are still greyed out and unusable. I've tried to reset my phone, restart my phone, redo the sync, and download the apps from iTunes, but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Tried that as well. The problem isn't that the apps aren't downloading, it's that the app icon is stuck on Waiting. I can actually open and use the apps from the App Store, but not from the home screen.
I'm adding photos to try help explain, though I'm not they'll show up well on since I'm on mobile.
THats the the home screen with useless icons
BUt if I search the App Store for one (like Buzzfeed)
IT it shows it being installed, and I can even open the app an use it. I would try to reinstall but I cant remove the apps.

HT201263 Locked home screen

My 15yr genius son has forgotten his screen lock code. I can not change his find my phone settings and have tried everything even down to a complete software download can someone help please

Try this:
1. Close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPhone to your computer and then launch iTunes.
3. Turn your iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone).
4. Then, hold down the sleep/wake button and home button together for EXACTLY 10 SECONDS, then release the sleep/wake button.
5. Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected. When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black. Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode.
6. Hit the OK message that should popup to restore your phone. Restore as "New".

How do i get my ipod 5 unlock? i cant get past the home screen lock (home screen lock is what i need unlocked) plz help

how do i get my ipod 5 unlocked from the homescreen? plz help

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

Suddenly all incoming Text messages only appear on my home screen and disappear when opened, What happened?

Two days ago all my text messages became scrambled. I get notified when a new message appears on my locked home screen, but when I open them up, they disappear until I answer the thread. Unfortunately, I can't read the entire message when it is on the locked home screen. When I reply, other texts are mixed in under the person's thread I am trying to answer. I deleted all old texts in hope that this would resolve itself, but it became worse! I have not changed any setting. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

Same thing is happening to me whethere the texts are received on the imessage or other text message apps. The message is showing on the lock screen halfway and when I try to pull it it is not here. This is happening since IOS 7. Is there still a glitch??
