Hello Everyone! Iphone 3GS Screen problem, any ideas?

Hello Guys I would just like to ask a question about my iphone 3GS the screen brightness touch is all okay but i seem to have a problem with the contrast which is especially noticeable when trying to take pictures. The best way i can describe it is the dark parts and shadowy of the image/photo are really dark! Its similiar in way if you had your laptop with you and you were looking straight at the screen but then you tilt the screen back and you stay in the same position certain parts appear dark! Can anyone help me with this because i know the 3gs can take briliant photos! Many thanks Oli x

Try taking a picture and then emailing it to someone. Then look at the pic on a computer.
If the contrast of the pic is the same on the computer, it's not an issue with your screen, it's an issue with the camera. It might not be an issue with the camera at all, it doesn't do well in low-light situations.
That's all I can think of to say...

  • Problem syncing iCal from iPhone (3GS) to Macbook, any ideas?

    Hi,
    I've always synced my iPhone & Mac via a cable and never had a problem until a few months ago when my calender entries on my iPhone stopped syncing to my Macbook. But if I create an event on my Macbook then later sync my iPhone the event appears on my phone's calender, so it only appears to be a one-way problem from phone to Mac. Phone is iPhone 3GS & Mac system is 10.6.8 Any ideas?

    Like it or not, you need third-party software and I don't know of anything free that works. Get this:

  • IPhone 3GS screen problem - green colour missing (intermittent)

    Hiya,
    My iPhone 3GS has started to play up this morning. It is the first time that anything out of the ordinary has happened with this phone since I purchased it 8 or so months ago.
    It is like the green colour stops working. The problem is intermittent, it comes and goes after it goes to sleep. It has started happening after I put the phone in my bag this morning - never been dropped or exposed to water, I have always taken very good care of it (like my first born even). Power-cycling the phone does not fix the problem.
    Does anyone have any ideas whether this is a hardware or software fault or any tips that i can try to rectify this? I will be trying a backup/restore tonight then the Apple store for warranty tomorrow if I can't fix it.

    The basics from the manual are:
    Restart
    Reset
    Restore

  • IPhone 3GS power problem. Ideas?

    I've been having a really odd problem with my iPhone and power. If I plug into the wall adapter in any outlet anywhere, the phone will cycle in and out of charging AND the touch screen goes bezerk. Meaning if I touch one area of the screen it actually responds in a completely other area, if at all
    This happens with any charger plugged into AC. I've tried 2 apple ones and a Kensington.
    Now if I plug it into any other power source like the car or computer, it charges and behaves normally.
    So I'm at a loss on this. I have about 3 months left on my AppleCare if I need to use it, but somehow I think Apple will think I'm nuts! Quite frankly I thought I was until I was able to repeat it over and over in different places.
    Ideas??

    Doing a restore will eliminate a software issue if it's still doing it after the restore.

  • I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?

    Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
    Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
    Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
    This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
    BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...

  • Hello everyone! Did you find any problems so far using hotspots?

    Hello everyone! Did you find any problems so far using hotspots with iPhone 4?

    Just the usual ones in dealing with some routers with buggy firmware and such.
    I'm sure there have been many who have had problems, but mine has worked beautifully at a wide variety of hotspots like those at McDonald's, Starbucks and Borders.

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Networks
    Then tap the Home button to close the Settings app. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Iphone 3GS: screen resolution problems

    Hi all,
    My iphone 3GS' screen resolution spontaneously changed:
    Its like the resolution is too high for the measuremens of the screen.
    This way, like half a centimeter on each side of the screen (Top, bottom and sides) can not be viewed...
    How can I solve this?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, already figured out it was the "triple finger double tap zoom" :-)
    Thanks for the space

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • How can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    how can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize an unlock, so you will need to contact the carrier. Note that if the iPhone is locked to AT&T, they will not unlock an iPhone at any time for any reason.
