Iphone 1/3 of the screen has no or really bad responce
Hey i got this problem where 1/3 of the screen will not work or respond to my finger. I tried everything. Restoring it, restarting it, taking it to apple store, i even took it to ATT store, and i called apple but none of them want to fix it. Apple said that my warranty just ended so i have to pay 199 to fix it. (i could buy a new iphone for that price.) The phone was never dropped and never had any problems but all a sudden 1/3 of screen stopped working. This problem is wide spread now but no one bring the problem here to APPLE DISCUSSION so that why i bring it here.
Any ideas on why it stopped working?
Hi,
Try the general tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1650#faq5
Make sure there is nothing between your iPhone screen and your finger, like a glove or screen protecter.
You can also restore the iPhone to rule out software issues. This article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.
If the issue persists after trying those tips, the iPhone needs hardware repair.

My iphone 5 has just had an update for candy crush and ever since i opened it the screen has been black and I can't get it to do anything what can I do?
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.) Relaunch the App and try again.
- 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)
- Delete the App, then reinstall it.
Test the issue after each step. Make sure to quit the app as described before each followup step. -
I dropped my iphone and the screen has blue lines on it. Siri still works but the screen doesn't but the screen isn't cracked or shattered. What should I do?
Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone. You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

My iPhone 4S screen is suddenly not reacting. The screen has turned a light blue color but nothing is happening. I have tried several things such as holding the power button, plugging it into the wall, and plugging it into my computer. What should I do?
Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement. -
Hi, I have an iphone 5 and unfortunately got sat on and is now bent, it worked fine bent for 3 months as the glass did not break, today how ever the screen has stopped working. Is it possible to get hold of another casing and have the electronics changed ?
You didn't look hard enough:
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c,
iPhone 5
$269
iPhone 4S
$199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$149 -
I'm trying to backup my iphone and restore it because the screen has gone black. It won't allow me to do anything without putting in the passcode. I can't put in the passcode because the screen is black.
Try rebooting it (hold home and power together for 15-20 seconds). If the display doesn't come back to life, you're out of luck. You're supposed to back it up before it fails. It's too late to do so after the fact.

I got an iphone 5 a few months back (less than a year) when i signed up to a contract with vodafone. Since then the screen has cracked although the touch ability still works. Is this covered under the warranty and Apple will repair it, or if not how much will they charge to do so?
If you're in the US, some Apple stores can replace the display for $149. If yours can't, you can get the phone replaced for $269.
It is not covered under the warranty. -
My iphone 5c has lifted out of its case on one side, and now the screen has cracked on that side! its still under warentee but i dont know what to do im not paying for it to be fixed when i havnt done anything! is there anything or anyone thats experianced this problem?
You can get all your question answered, by taking it into the Apple store.
If it is a manufactuing defect then you'll more than likely get a replacement without being charged.
If they deem that the phone is damaged by accidental cause, then you would need to pay for an out of warranty 5C unless you have apple care or apple care ++ -
I dropped my iphone 3gs and the screen has gone blank now showing a white screen with no icons can anyone advise me how to fix it?
Tim is correct.
But, first step with 3GS white screen and most iPhone problems is Reset, hold both home and power buttons until iPhone begins to restart itself, usually about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still white screen.
Next step would be Restore the iPhone Firmware with iTunes on your computer. If still white screen.
Next step would be to follow Tim's advice, if you had not already. -
I am setting up my new iphone4 and am trying to transfer all of the contacts etc from my old iphone 3GS.After linking it with itunes the screen has shown 'restore in progress' for almost 24 hours with time remaining going backwards. Is this normal? Should I let it continue?
No, that is not normal. I guess you are trying to restore from the latest backup created by your old 3GS?
Did you follow this article to transfer your info? iPhone: Transferring information from your current iPhone to a new iPhone -
We have iPhone 4 and I plugged phone into after market hardwired plug in car (that we have used successfully for two years). The screen has gone black and wont turn on. Phone was charged. I have tried force quit- home screen and top button. iTunes is not recognizing phone when I plug into computer. help pls
FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.

My iphone 4 has become extremely sensitive i cant talk on the phone without putting calls on hold, mute or hanging up!! when i'm in a call it's like the screen has become super sensitive to touch! I tried putting on a screen protecter but this didnt work please help?
While on a call, the iPhone display should go black when lifted to your ear. Is this not happening or only happening intermittently?
Have you tried making calls without your silicone case on? Does this make any difference?
You could try updating or restoring the software to try to rule that out as a cause. If the issue remains after restoring then the issue is probably hardware related and may need to be serviced. -
I downloaded a update on my iPhone 5 and it's like the screen has frozen any ideas
I Downloaded a update on my iphone 5 and now the screen is frozen any suggestions on how to fix
Good Afternoon rossiebud,
If your iPhone is not responding after your update, try the steps in the article below. If restarting or resetting your iPhone doesn't get you back on track, then you can reinstall the iOS by selecting Update while in recovery mode.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

Hi i woke up three days ago to my iphone 4s not working, assuming it had no charge i plugged it in and fully charged the battery.
when i returned the screen was still black, but the phone was functioning (ringing and accepting text messages etc)...
The screen has been blank since and have tried things like restoring and hard resets, but this has not worked. a very very vague image appears when in use but it is almost impossible to see.
Can anybody suggest a way to maybe fix this issue if it is possible?
If it is not possible would i be entitled to a replacement or free repairs as I have had the phone less than 1 year and should still qualify for the warranty?
Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.Make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced. It sounds like the backlight has failed.
If it's under warranty, there will be no charge so long as the phone isn't physically damaged.
