Iphone 3G camera has green and purple stripes

I have a 3G iphone that was working perfectly. All of the sudden, these green and purple "noise" lines started showing up just in the camera app. I restored the software and that didn't get rid of it. I also pinched the case to see if maybe something was loose- still no go.
I know that I'm not the first person to experience this problem but I was wondering if someone had figured out what exactly is causing the problem. Is it the camera itself? Like I said, it was working fine.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Phil

it was from the display protector on the screen?
Most likely that is the reason.  I have a screen protector on and see similar issues when the iPhone is not on.  They're not noticeable when turned on.  Remove it and see the difference.

  • My iphone 3gS camera has a dark shadow looking dot on it. I lloked it up and i think maybe its a pixel problem. What can apple do to fix it?

    My iphone 3GS camera has a dark shadow looking dot on it. I lloked it up and i think maybe its a pixel problem. What can apple do to fix it?

    Hmm, then it could be something somehow with the actual camera sensor behind the lens or maybe software issue. But i'd recommend ringing Apples support line and seeing if they can fix it, if it's still in warrantly they should do it free of charge.

  • Green and purple dots iMac 27

    I have seen posts on this -- green and purple dots appearing on screen for iMac 27 -- -solution was to upgrade firmware but the upgrades suggested were for different graphics cards than i have -- -
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB
    Is there a firmware update for this graphics card to address this issue?
    Thanks - rberger25

    Wish-to-God - as an avid Mac aficionade since 1984 - that they'd do the same with MY 27" mid-2010 i5, too - or at least SOLVE THIS COMMON PROBLEM??!!
    Mine, too, seems precipitated by going to sleep: I let mine run continally ('cept the display), and each morning now (for weeks, it seems) I'm greeted by an alert stating my OS X encountered a problem, and needed to restart.
    Today - for the first time - I faced a dark blue screen, with only my cursor appearing .. outlined in white.
    As nothing would allow me to access the computer, I had to manually restart from this "freeze" - twice.
    Same ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB as rberger25 noted above.
    MY AppleCare has been expired for probably six months now - and the nearest Apple store is 200 miles from me...
    Despite three iPhone 4S's, two iPad 4 Retina's, a MacBookPro Retina 15", a couple of Apple TV's, a new Airport Extreme, and another two iMac 24's in my present "stable", I seriously doubt Apple will give me the time of day with regard to this specific malady... although support has always been superb and responsive to queries regarding those items still under active AppleCare warranties (unfailingly purchased with each new device).
    Just seems a shame to be so easily "forgotten" when it comes to a significant, widespread, common problem with such an expensive device....

  • My isight camera has green speckles

    My isight camera has green speckles/dots in it when i open it with Photo Booth.  I have tried a smc reset and pram reset, i was hoping it was just a visual bug, but it actually has the green dots/speckles in the photos I take with the isight camera.

    Contacted apple care, booked into Genius Bar at my local apple store
    Genius at local store: ran some apple diagnostics called MRI
    macbook would not post video in MRI
    booked in my macbook pro for replacement screen (clamshell) where the camera also resides
    wait 5 days, return to store to collect macbook.
    Open macbook instore, boot into osx, open photo booth and green speckles are still there.  Apple employee says that its not a screen problem (obviously) and that it could be the GPU and advised me to leave macbook in store for a genius to have another look at it.  I told the apple employee that the GPU is not a replaceable part and I was told that it was up to a genius to decide.
    required macbook to complete assignment, so will book it back in afterwards

  • My iMac display occasionally flashes green and purple horizontal lines... is anyone else having this issue, or know of a fix?

    The screen occasionally flashes purple and green horizontal lines across it. Then the buttons on the left side of my menu bar turn fuzzy, and when I click on them they become black rectangles with green and purple lines running thru them. The dock also has a hint of green and purple in it. And some of the shadows around application windows are just black outlines, instead of gradiating shadows. Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone have a fix? I read about the other supposed graphics issues, but I think they're unrelated, or at least left unfixed by the firmware update.

    All Macs come with a one year limited warranty.

    Why can't you use the Bluetooth keyboard?
    According to the link I posted for the AHT..
    "For some Apple computers that shipped with OS X Lion, if Apple Hardware Test cannot be found on the hard drive, an Internet-based version starts up instead."

  • Green and purple dots on screen (fixed!)

    So I had green and purple dots all over the screen of my iMac (10.5.6, intel 24"). The dots would disappear briefly when windows were dragged over them. Green dots appeared on black backgrounds and purple dots appeared on lighter backgrounds (e.g. "about this mac" was really bad). I didn't find the solution anywhere and several people reported needing to replace their hardware. With the help of a technician at Apple, we figure out the fix (in my case).
    Here's what didn't work:
    - shutting off the machine and unpowering for 15 seconds
    - resetting the PRAM
    Here's what DID work:
    - go to Utilities
    - go to Disk Utility
    - select Macintosh HD
    - press "verify disk permission" (and wait a long long time)
    - press "repair disk permission" (and wait a long long time)
    - reboot
    This fixed it. Apparently errors on disk impact bits in displaying certain things. Who knew.
    Anyway, I hope this helps someone else.
    Nate

    OK. Thanks.
    I noticed that when I ran the verify/repair permissions again, it found some, repaired it, and the dots went away again. That would indicate a hardware problem.

  • Display leaves green and purple lines

    Guys
    My display leaves green and purple lines when ever I move any windows. I have zapped the PRAM and tested the RAM with memtest. Any ideas as it's driving my crazy

    AHT does test the video RAM, so louie's advice is spot-on. If the test doesn't report any VRAM problems and an external display doesn't show the same symptoms, then the fault is somewhere downstream from the logic board, i.e., in the video cable or the LCD itself. AHT isn't able to test those.
