Funny purple dots in the top of phone

ok im having none of the problems that are being discussed [except battery ofcourse].but i dont want to post a dumb topic. i am a first time iphone owner [3g model] and im noticing three purple-ish dots on the top of my phone. there above the screen on the left side. there are two side by side and one one top. it only shows up sometimes.[i noticed it today while sitting outside] i was just wondering was this something thats there for a reason or not?

If you are talking about the area next to the speaker at the top of the phone, those are the proximity sensors that know when you put the phone up to your face so that you don't accidently hang up on someone or touch a button.

What to do when your iPhone 6 has a small/tiny dot on the top of the screen?

I just bought my new iPhone 6, but when i powered it up i noticed a small dot on the top of the screen, It left for one day, now its back.
Does my warranty cover it and what will happen when I take it to get repaired?
Will they fix it or replace it?
Thanks

If you say it was gone for one day, you may try resetting your device. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
Press and hold on the Home button
Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.
Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings
If this does not help, I believe you need to have your iPhone checked and repaired at your local Apple Store as it may be a hardware problem.
Apple specialists will most likely fix your device.

My Macbook Pro *****! I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button.

I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?

Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

My iphone 3g is not working, im getting no service/searching at the top of phone, ive put the phone in recovery mode an still nothing, please help??

please help me, my iphone 3g wont activate ive tried everythink, i dont know what else to try? thanks

I had this same issue last week with my 3g. Did you happen to recently have your carrier unlock your phone? I did, and I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
For me, it started with loosing the signal, then after shutting down and turning on my phone about 3 times, I got a message saying that I would need to do a restore. When I tried to do the restore, it went through all the steps until step 6 or 7 I think and then I just get an error message on itunes that says there was error 1- or -1 and that the restore failed. My phone now just shows a pic of a usb plug with a globe above. Total fail. It was an old phone and as I was out of contract and just waiting to get the new iphone 5, I just went and got the new phone. The only issue now is that I cannot sync my new iphone and get all of my contacts, apps, files, etc etc which is totally annoying to say the least and a whole different story!

Purple line at the top of MacBook Pro Screen

This purple line has appeared recently, I don't know what is causing it. I can see it in the dashboard space, mission control, and at the login screen.

Don't know. Ask Apple when you send the computer back to them!

Dots at the top of the swatches?

what do the dots mean on some swatches?
Thanks.

I'm looking at the main swatches panel and don't see any dots. Are you referring to the color palette in the GIF and PNG optimization panel?

Purple dots on iPhone?

I just got the iphone 3g at launch and everything seemed fine. Today i noticed that there were three purple dots in the top left corner of the phone next to the receiver. I tried looking everywhere to see if anybody else had this problem but nobody seems to have this problem. I noticed it when there was sunlight.

These are definitely sensors! I haven't seen much mentioned about this in the reviews, but lots of people had problems with the sensor being above the ear speaker. Certain cases interfered with it, and sometimes the phone would become live/light up and a user's face could hit the speakerphone or end call buttons. With the sensors on the side now, this is less unlikely!

Change message in purple "forms" area at the top?

I have an interactive PDF created in Acrobat Pro. It is hosted on our web site. When my client opens the file, the message in the purple area at the top says: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
I've been asked to change this message (preferred) or hide/delete this message. Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks! Mark

OK. I will live with the fact that I can not change the text in the purple instruction heading. I have a new problem. In order to prevent others from tampering with the form, I have used Password Protection, Restrict Editing, entered a password under Change Permissions, allow printing and filling in form fields. Then I used the Save As feature, Enable additional features.
I now have what I wanted, a form that can not be changed. A day later I decided to add yet one more line of instruction. I can NOT get into my own form. I know the password (obviously), but I can not get to a screen that will allow me to enter it.
HELP !

How do I get rid of the 'TR' logo in the top right hand corner?

I knocked the phone in my bag I think and this icon has appeard and I can't get rid of it. It seems to have affected the typing, so that all of the lower case 'i's that I type don't have a little dot on the top. When I press the aA button it turns into capitals, but then reverts to weird type in lowercase. Thanks

I have not been able to get the built-in iPhone 4S keyboard dictation to work. I talk into it, then tap "Done", then the phone "thinks" for a few seconds (the purple dots pulse and I see the network icon on the top bar spinning) and then nothing happens.

Siri is wroking fine

I am experiencing exactly the same problem, today, and a reset, of all settings, did nothing to correct it. Any suggestions would be welcome. While dictation in all apps is out, Siri is working fine also.

I was just taking a picture on my iPhone 5 when I noticed a purple dot in every picture I took I cleaned the lens and turned my phone off but it's still there . It's annoying ! Does anyone else have this problem ?

If you swipe down from that bar, it will pull up your notification center.

HT4528 About 30 minutes ago, my iphone 4 screen just went white. It still shows the time, signal and battery at the top, but everything else is white. I can't receive calls/text messages. My phone will not lock or turnoff, but it will charge. HELP!!

I don't know what to do. My iPhone 4 just all of a sudden had a blank white screen. It still shows the bar at the top with the signal, time, and battery life. But the rest of the screen is white. If I touch the screen it acts like it's selecting something and gives me the choice to "Copy". It will still charge when I plug it up, but i cannot turn it off or lock the screen. I tried leaving it alone for awhile to see if it will lock on its own, like it normally would, and all it does is dim the screen. I guess im going to try to just let it die, and then see what happens, but if anyone else has any suggestions (other than taking it in to be looked at or getting a new phone) I would greatly appreciate it!

Any number of things could have caused the phone to do this. If after the reset you are experiencing additional problems, the next step in the troubleshooting process is a restore from a backup. Make sure you have one before you start the restore process. If that does not improve things, then you may have to restore as a new device. Remember, restoring as a new device will delete all data off the phone. Make sure all of your pictures are imported to the computer and all other data is synced to supported applications on the computer before restoring as new. See this support document about backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946, and this about restoring the phone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
