Green glow on iPhone 5 unlock screen?

I've had my iPhone 5 for a few days now and I've noticed this issue more and more. Whenever I wake my iPhone there is a split second where a green glow around the edge of the screen is visible. It's a bit like light leakage but its green and only appears for a fraction of a second after you turn on the screen. It is also sometimes activated by using the slide to unlock, which makes it glow brighter.
Does anyone else have this happening with their new iPhone? I don't know if this is the start of a defect or not... I have had very rare graphical flickering and tearing of the keyboard UI, but that's only happened once or twice and only for a second, as soon as I started typing it went away.
It looks like this might turn into a trip to the Apple store, I just wanted to know if anyone else has noticed this weird phenomenon on their new iPhones.

I tried screenshotting it, but its not picking up the green glow in any of the captures (not surprising).
Here is a quick photoshop to give you an idea of what it looks like:

  • IPhone 3g unlock screen language

    Any ideas on the reason that when I restore my o2 officially unlocked iPhone 3g, the unlock screen comes up in Spanish?
    Is there anything I can change to resolve this?
    Thanks.

    It's a support forum, the only images that would be relevant would generally be those connected with the iphone. However, you can in fact post any hosted image. Now whether our hosts would put up with a bunch of irrelevant pictures is quite another story. The OP could post his screen shot, as long as it's hosted somewhere. That type of picture would be relevant & perhaps helpful in solving his problem.

  • IPhone 4 Unlock Screen Error

    At the slide to unlock screen, it lets me slide the slider, but it freezes when i slide it all the way, then it displays a black screen with a wheel in the middle after about 30 seconds. Then it turns off. I decided to restore, and when I did, it displayed me with the iphone set up menu, but when I slide to unlock, the same thing happens. Any suggestions? Pressing the home and sleep/wake button until the device turns off and the apple logo comes up doesn't work either.

    You can make one here.

  • IPhone 5 green glow at bottom of screen when 'woken up'

    Got my black 16GB iPhone 5 from phones4u on the 17th November 2012. 2 weeks after I had it, I noticed a green glow appear at the bottom of the screen when I pressed one of the buttons to wake it up. This only happened when the phone had been locked for 5 minutes or more. Gradually, it started happening after every time I woke the phone up. I put up with it as I didn't think I'd be able to get it repaired/replaced. On the 20th December, the lock button on top of the phone started to not work on the right hand side, only worked if I pressed the left side of the button. Enough was enough and I made an appointment with a genius at my nearest apple store (Birmingham). I went to my appointment on the 5th January. The genius was really helpful and he replaced my phone there and then. Yesterday I started to notice a slight green glow around the bottom of the screen when it has been 'sleeping' for around 10 minutes. I have had this new phone less than a week and I am pretty hacked off. I don't know whether to go back and explain the problem and how angry I am, as I never had this trouble with my iPhone 4! It's not affecting use of the phone but it's an annoying trait considering the cost of it!
    Is anyone else experiencing this?

    i got my 15" i7 HR glossy macbook pro yesterday, just like Webmaestro, i noticed the EXACT screen back-light bleeding behavior on my machine during it's first boot up.
    however, beside this back-light bleeding, the screen is beautiful, very bright & crispy color, no yellow tinge , no dead or stuck pixels.
    been going through several 27" yellow iMac nightmares in the past few months. right now i am struggling and worry if i'd get a replacement macbook pro which would come up with something even worst than what i am having now.
    did some researches on the internet and found this :
    http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/649#
    those images also show some subtle backlight bleeding at the bottom of the 2010 macbook pro screens which makes me think that there's actually no perfect apple laptop screen that ever exist. (…i got a 5 years old dell and a 3 years old sony laptop both are with the same resolution and their screen has zero backlight bleeding, very even back light illumination. )
    i am wondering if it is just me being too picky for a perfect apple screen that will never exist?
    the apple stores lighting here in ginza is just too bright that i could not check and see if there's any backlight bleeding on those macbook pros on display. Genius are nice but i know what exactly they are going to tell me if i ever ask them if my machine's screen is normal.
    maybe there are many many other 2010 macbook pro owners who got the same backlight bleeding screens but they just don't ever care about that much?
    if ALL macbook pro has this kind of "subtle" backlight bleeding behavior. i am cool with my machine; but if this problem belongs to the apple QC department, i am not sure if i want to get myself into another never ending replacement/return loop again after the very bad 27"imac experience.
    here's the data of my screen: 9CB6, LTN154MT07.
    thank you for reading, just wanna share some thoughts…
    cheers.

  • IPhone 5 lockscreen green glow

    Hey.
    My iPhone 5 is currently on firmware 6.0.2 and there is an apparent green glow in the lower parts of the lockscreen when I unlock the phone and it gets more prominent if the phone has been unlocked after a longer time. The glow is a lot like the screenshot of other users facing the same problem.
    Now, I saw that everyone was getting it fixed by asking for a replacement. My problem is, the phone was bought in the UK and I am currently in Bangladesh where there are no official Apple stores. How should I ask for a replacement and what should be the procedure for it?
    Really would appreciate some help in this matter

    That's what it looks like and I am extremely afraid that it might get worser with more usage. Please help me as I own a MacBook Pro, iPod touch and even an iPhone 4s and this is the first time I am noticing any such defect in an Apple product.

  • IPhone 5 green glow when powering on.

    I've got a green glow when powering on my iPhone5. The longer I don't use my iPhone the bigger the glow is. Overtime the glow is getting bigger and bigger and it is now visible in all four corners of my screen. After powering on, the weird green glow fades away. What should I do?

    I had the same problem. I called apple suport and got a replacement. TnT came and collected the iPhone and deliverd me a new.

  • While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen.

    While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen. It has plenty battery and I was wondering if it is an issue of using too much of the iPhones RAM or not. I have no other apps open besides Messages. I am getting kind of worried as it started around two weeks ago and it has gotten increasingly frequent.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Can't start camera from unlock screen in iphone 5c since ios8

    Hi!
    Some I can't start the camera from the unlock screen in iphone 5c since ios8 update.
    It works a couple of hours after reboot, but the problem keeps turning back randomly.
    After iOS8 update I also installed facebook, facebook messenger, linkedin and sync.me and configured skype.
    The actions are:
    Enabling the unlock screen and then sliding up the camera icon, it seems to appear a camera captured image but then the screen turns black or greyish (randomly) like the unlock screen background.
    The problem doesn't happen from the control center panel locked or unlocked.
    It isn't a big problem because there are simple workarounds, but it's annoying when it happens.
    Best regards,
    Bruno.

    This problem seem to have been solved in iOS 8.0.2.

  • No power on iPhone 3gs. Shows yellow screen, boots up then freezes at unlock screen when connected to charger repeatedly

    Recently i purchased an iPhone 3gs from someone and was told that the battery was defective. A replacement battery was also given to me with the phone. I went about using it and realized it would shut down when the phone was at about 75%-80%. A week later i decided to YouTube to change the batt, figuring that would solve the issue. The phone worked fine for 5 mins then went off. It didnt come on so i figured the batt was dead. went on and connected my charger. A yellow tint screen popped up then shortly after, the apple logo. Booted up well until it got to the unlock screen. It was frozen, was unable to put in my code. 2 mins later the phone reboots on its own and the same thing happens... over and over until i disconnect the charger. The batt shows its a 97% yet it wont stay on. I've tried to research but cant find anything that works. I NEED HELP!!!

    Called AppleCare this morning, confirmed that this is a hardware problem. Getting replacement.

  • Customizing unlock screen (official iPhone SDK)

    Hi,
    I want to write a small application, that implements a customized unlock screen on iPhone. Is there a way to do it using standard iPhone SDK?
    Thanks a lot for a clues
    Nava

    I tried the following :
    NSError *error;
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"export.csv"];
    if ([records writeToFile:path atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error] == NO) {
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Export error" message:@"An error occured while writing the file."
    delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
    [alert show];
    [alert release];
    static NSString *email = @"[email protected]";

  • Iphone 5 green glow at edge

    Recently I realize my iphone 5 has a green glow at the edge or the phone, and it happens in all of my friend's iphone 5 also. Please let me know how can I correct it. Is Apple gonna repair or replace my phone? My warranty has expired though.

  • My iphone 4 is frozen on the slide to unlock screen. ive tried the sleep/awake button home button but it doesnt work can someone help me :)

    my iphone 4 is frozen on the slide to unlock screen. ive tried the sleep/awake button home button but it doesnt work can someone help me

    By the slide to unlock screen, are you talking about the slider at the bottom of the screen after taking out of sleep mode?
    And by trying the sleep/wake button and home button, are you talking about a reboot by holding both the power/sleep button and the home button until the apple logo appears and it reboots?  And that does not help release the issue with the slider?
    Are you sure the iPhone is well charged?
    If none if this helps, have you tried syncing/backing up to a compter and then restore by iTunes on a computer?
    If you cannot do any of this it would be good to schedule a visit to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs try their hand and diagnostics.

  • Iphone 2g turns off itself while on hibernate/unlock screen

    Hey guys, I recently bought a Iphone 2g 8gb. Was very happy... but as i connected it the first time to my computer and opened the itunes it asked me for a update (3.1.2 to 3.1.3) I did so... after the update was done i could not access my sim card, it showed the message that the SIM CARD IS NOT SUPPORTED ETC... so i decided to downgrade it to my pevious ios that is 3.1.2... did so, again recieved the same message that the SIM CARD IS NOT SUPPORTED ETC... after i went to one of the forum they gave me the process called BLACKRA1N... i did so... and it worked.
    The iphone accepted my SIM CARD, but suddenly i noticed that my cell turns off by itself after i put it into the hibernate/unlock screen! It takes hardly about 5 minutes to do this and sometimes even less than that, Even my battery was full too!! but it did not turn off when it is connected to the computer or charger!
    now everytime i put it into the HIBERNATE/UNLOCK screen it does the same thing! I tried to Restore it back but it did the same action!
    Really worried! Please HELPP!!!
    Peace.

    I just purchased a 4s 16G two weeks ago, I experienced the same problem. Sometimes in my pocket, sometimes on my console table. Pressed home button, nothing happened; pressed power button, nothing happened; pressed both then only the the apple appeared. Battery still 38%, sometimes 86%. Is this a common 4s defect by apple?
