IPhone 3G Display has no background illumination!

All of the sudden, when I hadn't used my phone for around 3 minutes, I pick it up, and the screen was all black.
Tried putting the brightness up, no effect. Tried resetting it, no effect. Tried connecting it to my computer, no effect.
The display isn't off, but there is no backround illumination, and I can barely outline the contents of the display.

I don't think this is a hardware error.
I restored my phone, and once it got into recovery mode the illumination functioned as normal.
Then.. after some hours use, it happened again. This time, illumination went down to about 10-20%, and it started wobbeling up and down. Eventually settled at about 10% lightning, and it's in that state now too. Kinda sick of restoring it by now..

IPhone 5 display has stopped working. How do I fix this?

My iPhone 5 display has stopped working. The Lock button has not been working for quite some time now, so I can't try a reset. When I plug the phone up to the computer, it makes the sound which indicates that it has been hooked up, bu nothing is displayed. It is just a black screen.

I'm sorry to hear about your phone, frodolad_ell. It sounds like you have a defective device. Is the phone still under the one year warranty? Does the device have physical or moisture damage? Please provide me with a few details.

IPhone 5s display has yellow hue/warmer colors?

Should I be concerned that my 5s's display is warmer than the display on my 4, 4s and iPad 3?
With full brightness on each device, the 4, 4S, and iPad 3 all have, well, "normal" whites. My 5s display has a yellow-ish hue to everything. Unnoticeable on most things (like photos), but in Messages and such, it's noticeably yellow.
Anyone else having this issue? I love 5s to death other than this, so I dunno whether it's worth getting a replacement for (or whether Apple Stores even have replacement silver AT&T 5s's at this point, haha).

I am faching the same issue. I bought the phone here in the UK. As soon as I unboxed it I felt that the display was not as bright as my iPhone 4S. I went to apple store and got the phone replaced today. The replaced phone also has the same display issue (yellowish, creamish, warmer). I compared my phone with other phones in the apple store display pieces and discovered that only my phone has this problem. When I asked the sales person, he she said new batches of iPhones comes with this display.
It really looks very dull, especially while using apps with white background.

My iphone 5 display has broken and i want to know there is any procedure to replace iphone ,it is out of warrenty

display has broken and i have to replace my iphone 5 , there is any procedure to do this if yes then please help

One option is to have it repaired: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/screen-damage/
Not sure what you mean by "procedure to replace." How you would buy a new one depends on where you are located, whether you are under contract with a carrier for the old phone, etc. If you mean a procedure to move your data to a new phone, the following may help: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support

My refurbished iPhone 5 display has a yellow tint?

I got a replacement iPhone from AppleCare today, and I've got everything figured out with my new iPhone 5. When I was texting my friend, in messages I noticed the white background in the messages apphas a yellow tint to it. To make sure I wasn't seeing things or anything I got my iPhone 5 that I'm sending back to Apple and I compared both displays and the refurbished iPhone (I assume it's refurbished, there is little noticeable marks here and there) has a yellow tinted screen, and it's very noticeable, regardless on screen brightness.
Is this normal in refurbished iPhones, or any refurbished apple devices? Can I call Apple back and request a new replacement iPhone 5? The yellow tint is pretty annoying, and I have an iPad as well, so I can really see the tinted yellow display.

Is it new? I heard it was some minor problem with the adhesive glue on the iphone, and that it should go away in a couple of days/weeks?
If you're super concerned about it, you should go to the apple store and have them check it out.

IPhone 4: display has dark spot, brightness is not uniform

Hi!
I'm Hector from Italy.
My new iPhone 4 just arrived from the Apple Online Store. It works fine but the top left of the screen has a darker spot; such non-uniform brightness becomes very evident when opening, for instance, Safari (that has a white background).
Should I send it back to Apple?
Or is this a known software issue?
If I go to Milan's Apple Store will they swap it? I would rather not stay without iPhone since all the phones I have at home have a standard SIM and not the microsim.
(without considering that after spending 800€ I really hoped to get a quality product)
Thank you!

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions....
If I go to Milan's Apple Store will they swap it?
This being a user to user forum we can't say what the policy would be at a particular store but if it were me, I'd take the iPhone and ask for an exchange. Make sure and take proof of purchase with you.
You can provide feedback for "top left of the screen has a darker spot; such non-uniform brightness becomes very evident when opening, for instance, Safari (that has a white background)." here.

Absolutely.

IPhone 6 display has bad color accuracy?

My mom recently upgraded to an iPhone 6 and I still have a 4S. I had the two next to each other with an called KSL Weather. On the iPhone 4S, the background of the app looked blue and normal. On the iPhone 6, the blue background was purple. I also noticed the Facebook app does not look right. The blue bar looked a little shaded out. When I open safari, the AppStore, or even settings, the white background looks kind of a blue like color. Compared to my 4S and iPad Mini Retina, the iPhone 6 looks horrible. Anyone else who have noticed this?

Hi Rhettster152,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your new iPhone 6. If it appears that there is an issue with the image quality or color representation on the display, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful, including contacting Apple Support if necessary:
If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

My iPhone 5S display has a faded gray line

Today on my iphone 5s is showed me a faded gray line is not a scratch ???
It wont go away i turned of and of my iphone but always there ???

It looks like a fault in the display. Back it up and take it to an Apple Store for an in-warranty replacement.

Iphone 4S display has faint diagonal lines.

Is anyone else experiencing faint diagonal lines on their iPhone 4S screen? They are most noticeable on bright, solid colors. they are very faint but visible enough to detract from the display quality. Does anyone wlse have this problem? Should I make a warranty claim?

Yeah I have that probablem to but it only happens when I'm not looking straight at the screen. I think it's the same with all iPhones (at least retina ones) cause I got a iPhone 4

My iPhone 4s display has color stripes and is faded.

Does anyone know what to do? the bottom half of the display is grayed out and I can't see underneath it.

Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
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.

Find My iPhone Map Display

Within the past two weeks, the Find My iPhone map display has been divided into blocks separated by multiple grid lines. This results in inaccurate locations for the device. How do you resolve this issue?

I've tried setting it to both; standard results in dots appearing over a blank background. Setting it to hybrid shows them on the satellite image, but with no street signs. Basically, for some reason, nothing from the map will display.

I dropped my iphone, it cracked (it alredy had some cracks in it) and the screen is black but sometimes has a background light.. When i plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not recognize it. What can I do?

I dropped my iphone 4 pretty hard, it cracked (although it already had a few cracks in it) and now the screen is black but sometimes has a background light turn on and then off. Holding the home button and off button at the same time do not work. When I plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not seem to recognize it. It gets really really hot when plugged in (which I don't think is normal). icloud does not recognize it under "find my iphone" either. What could the problem be? I am wondering if dropping it dislodged something inside. if so, what did I dislodge and is it possible to fix this myself?
Thanks

Sounds like that drop was a critical one, my friend. I would make an appointment at your nearest Apple Retail Store, because you're going to need a replacement. Also as a side note: the reason that the charger is making the phone vibrate over and over is because there is a disconnect somewhere in the charge port of the phone, causing it to plug in and out over and over.

Try press and holding down the Power and Home button until you get an Apple icon on the screen.
