Dim Spot on iPhone's screen

Hello everyone,
I have an iPhone 3G 8GB which I bought 6 months ago from Cyprus. After 3 months of using it, a dark dim spot appeared in the middle of my screen. No, it's not a dead pixel, I did a deep research for it. Anyway, I sent it back to them in Cyprus so they can fix it, they kept it 2 weeks and then they gave it to me back without even opening it and see the problem. After many hours there I pushed them to send it to Apple. They sent it to Greece as they told me where there is an Apple Store. After they sent it back again, they gave me a paper which they wrote on it "The dim spot as our customer said, doesn't make any problem to the phone of using it etc." By the way, you can see the dim spot very clear on gray color and dark colors but not on black. At the end.. I'm here now without any support from Apple.
Please help me solve my problem.
Regards,
Jim.

What's really weird is that when I first got home with my new iPhone on 6/29, I too noticed a yellow spot on the bottom left of my screen...obviously more noticeable on a white background. I was ready to take it back...but then after using the phone for the first day...the yellow spot went away. All of a sudden the yesterday 7/29...4 weeks later, a yellow spot appeared in the same exact spot...and by the end of the day it was gone again! (insert Twilight Zone theme here) Hmmmm...wonder if this will occur again on 8/29...haha!
Wait and see if yours disappears...and if it doesn't, I'd exchange it.

  • Yellow Spots on iPhone 5 screen

    Hi everyone.
    As you can see from the picture, there's a faint yellow spots on the iPhone screen. The phone was purchased in December but the spots didn't appear until yesterday. I've resetted the phone using iTunes and basically ruled out this is a software issue.
    I know I need to have the phone serviced if I want it fixed. But the problem is I purchased the phone from the Apple Store in Hongkong and I''m currently in the Philippines. I don't know someone currently in Hongkong to send my phone to. I just wanna ask if someone had the same experience and what they did to fix their phone. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    you havent gotten a answer ;-; well your having a very very mini kernel panic thats all

  • Brown Spots on Iphone 4 Screen

    I have recently observed some brown spots on my iphone screen. I have searched on the internet what is the cause and I found out that Iphone 4S has some what similar problem and it has something to do with some adhesive that they use. But my Iphone 4 is now older that 1 year and it is not covered under warranty. The phone was in perfect condition and no other wear/tear or any sort of damage. I was wondering whether is there anything that apple could do to rectify this problem? And how much would it cost to repair such an issue. In addition, I would be really greatful if someone could tell me whether is it a digitizer fault or the LCD display fault?
    Thanks a lot
    Best Regards

    An out of warranty exchange is $149

  • Dead Spot-Top of the Screen (With: Maps - Stocks - Clock - Safari - iPod)

    Dead Spot-Top of the Screen
    I see some problems with the bottom of the screen but here the problem is with the top of the screen.
    I can't use some part of this Applications, I don't know why, I already reset and restore the iPhone some times, and there is no change.
    Maps - I can't type any direction on the search field.
    Stocks - I can't select the first stock on the list.
    Clock - World Clock - Edit - I can't select the Done button.
    Safari - When the Phone is horizontal I can't select the Add Bookmark or the Back button.
    iPod - When the Phone is horizontal I can't select the play button.
    Please let me know how can I fixed or how can I change my iPhone, I'm working in McAllen Texas and the only Apple Store near to here is the one that is in San Antonio, so its like 3 hours driving, what can I do?

    If they try and make u pay for a loaner phone, be insistant that they give u one free of charge! I had to send mine in for repairs, but talked them out of the $30 loaner phone fee..only makes sense that we shouldn't have to pay! cheers

  • IPhone 4S screen auto lock not working with Music Playback, while connected to the Computer via USB

    Hello Everyone,
    I have an iPhone 4S, updated to the latest version of iOS (7.1). Recently, I noticed that my iPhone's screen doesn't autolock automatically whenever it's connected via the sync cable to my Laptop Computer (A Dell Studio running Windows 8.1 Pro). This happens regardless of whether iTunes is running or not. Whenever the music playback is on, the screen just gets dimmed after a while (as it always does before the screen auto-lock triggers), and stays like that. However, when I stop music playback, the auto-lock work just fine.
    I want to know, is this normal? I mean, is this the way it's supposed to be?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rajat S.

    ALSO, iTunes has been updated to iOS 12.0.1.

  • An inportant question about the iPhone 5 screen!

    Not sure if i grasped the concept of the new iPhone 5 screen but from what i understood is that the glass screen n the sensors which detect the touch of ur fingers have been integrated into one screen allowing for a thinner phone, the only problem is that if ur glass were to crack, would that render the touch sensors useless? In the first 4 models if the screen cracked all was well and u only had to worry about the spot of cracked screen n the sensors n screen were fine...now im worried that the sensors and even the screen might b affected...thanx in advance
    PS: Im also to understan that the new glass on the phone is superior in resistance than older models but in sure it doesnt make it invinsible

    The previous phones were like this
    ----------- Glass
    ----------- Touch Sensors
    ----------- Pixels
    Now, the iPhone 5 is that way
    ----------- Glass
    ----------- Pixels & Touch Sensors

  • Auto dim settings on Iphone

    I stupidly took off the auto dim on the iphone and now the screen is blank and i cant see how to get it back. I tried turning it off, touching anywhere on the screen...
    please help!!

    Something else has to be going on. Despite making brightness changes to the iPhone, you cannot turn the screen completely off. I would try to do a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then releasing. Once the iPhone restarts, see if the screen responds. While it can be dim, it doesn't go out completely.

  • Iphone 3GS screen brightness

    Sometimes, i noticed that when i press the home button to unlock my phone, the screen is dim rather than your personal setting. I set my brightness bar at the middle. So I have to press sleep button again. then, the screen is not dim anymore. Is this normal ?

    I'm having the exact same issue. I noticed it recently after I upgraded to 3.1 and did a full restore. I can't say what it is but it's definitely annoying.
    I wake my iPhone, the screen is noticeably dim, I put it back to sleep, wake it again, the brightness is then correct.
    Help!
