Iphone 4 screen (reptile skin looking markings all over glass

I have an iphone 4 and am noticing some markings on front glass that i do not think it had when i first got it, at least i did not notice until recently, it almost looks like what a fingerprint would look like on the screen except it looks sorta like the look of reptile skin or cracks in dry mud, Is there something I should use to clean the screen I tried water and a soft cloth but it dose not seem to take it out..

    Call apple or take it into an Apple store. What's wrong is beyond a user fix.

    I left my macbook pro closed and when I came back the screen had a huge crack all over the screen, anyone know why this could have happened?

    Someone dropped something onto your computer.
    Someone pressed on the closed computer.
    Someone placed heavy objects on your computer.
    We can only guess since the someone was not us and we were not there when it happened.

  • Iphone screen wont come on at all?

    Looking for advice please... my fairly new Iphone screen will not come on at all.
    I did not drop it, abuse it or hit it. It was working, a coworker came to talk to me, I stopped my music and when I tried to start it again, it would not come on. I pulled out the phone and noticed when I hit the button on the headphones it would not light up screen. I tried the button on the phone but it also does not work.
    A friend called me maybe 20 minutes later and Whew it came on but when we hung up, it would not longer come on after! I plugged it on the USB port a good 20 times, called myself from an internet phone and it just won't come back on, argh!
    I removed the screen protector and the sleeve it's in but it still will not come on. I removed the SIM card, etc etc etc but no matter what I do there is no life on the screen. If I call from the web, it does ring but that's it.
    Would anyone have any ideas for me? I have no home phone and the sim card will no longer work in my old phone leaving me phone less. I actually had to drive to a payphone to call a friend, bleh ....
    I hope this is covered by warranty, the limited warranty thankfully seems to cover this since it appears to be a mechanical defect of the phone itself.
    Thanks in advance,
    Phil

    If you have a case on it, try it without the case.
    Have you tried basic troubleshooting as per the manual?
    Page 34
    "If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
    problem.
    Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
    hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
    same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting,” on page 131. "
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
    Of course the warranty covers this.

  • I have this shortcut  home button on my screen that you can move all over the screen that I want it gone.

    this button is a little white circle in a black square that you can move all over you screen on your phone if you tap it it gives you home, favorites, voice control, device, a shortbut button that is suppose to save your buttons on your phone by you using this button on the screen. I hate it. Anyone know how to get rid of it??

    Go to Settings, General, Accessibility and turn off Adaptive touch.

  • Does anyone else with an iPhone 4S have flashing blue boxes all over your screen after the update?? I can't get rid of them!!

    I have tried powering off and even wiped out the whole phone. Nothing helped.

    are your restoreing and setting up as new..  or restoreing from a backup?

  • IPhone screen turned white- looks like screen damage but no damage has been done

    I turned my phone off because my Whatsapp was being weird. And when I went to turn my phone back on my screen was white/grey with a couple of faded vertical lines. The corners of the screen look darker and it looks like screen damage. The phone is still on just the screen isnt working, I have tried restarting but a number of times but this hasnt worked. Had loads of problems with my iPhone, anyone had anything similar happen?

    Give it a couple of gentle "spanks" across the back of it. If this doesn't solve it, back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in your backup file or maybe it's one of your apps causing problems. If it continues, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

  • IPhone screen and photos look like negatives of images.

    I have a new Apple iPhone 4.  Screen and color was fine....photos looked great.  Now display screen and photos appear to look like negatives of the image.  What's up?  Can't seem to be able to find a setting to change it back to look normal.  Have only had for 5 days.

    Thanks so much.......I thought it might be something my son and niece did....just couldn't figure out what they did.

  • I got my phone fixed from a third party and now my phone won't even come on and my screen turns blue and starts all over again. Is there a way I can get it fixed

    BBroken screen got fixed from a third party and now the apple sign shows for about 25 seconds and then it turns blue and starts all the way over

    The problems go deeper than the screen...the person who did the repairs has not made all of the connections correctly.  The iPhone needs to be opened again, and then reconnect the new screen and be sure all other connections are still in place where they should be.

  • HT201412 Why can't I get my iPad to go past the apple logo? The screen now has crazy lines all over it. Can't restore cause computer doesn't recognize it in device list.

    When I was updating iPad 2 to newest iOS I interrupted the update by doing a reset. Now I can't do anything. Won't even show up as device on my computer so I can do a restore. Worked perfectly before I tried to do the update. I thought the update was messing up cause it seemed frozen about 1/4 way on the line that advances when you do an update. I held down home and power buttons for about 10 seconds and now there are colored lines and such moving across the screen. Can't do a restore from backup cause device not recognized. Other iPads are recognized so it's clearly the particular iPad that has the problem. What can I do?

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

    Look as if you're having a GPU glitch. If I were you, I'd take the computer into your local Apple Store and run extensive diagnostics on it. You can do a basic hardware check yourself, using the Apple Hardware Test.
    Good luck,

  • My iPhone 5 has really sporadic battery percentage that jumps all over the place and every so often the phone turns off

    Hi guys!
    I'm having trouble with my iphone 5, the battery percentage jumps all over the place. It will be down at 14% and then I plug the charger in and it jumps to 50%, it jumps around without me plugging the charger in. Today it actually turned off twice and had the red icon to plug it in and when I plugged it in it had turned straight on and was at 27%.
    Any ideas what could be causing this? Its really annoying because when I'm out I'm not really able to rely on the battery indicator being correct.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
    Russell

    Hi Boris,
    That sounds really similar! I'm not sure what to so about it, I bought a mobile battery pack to charge my phone while I'm on the go as this seems to make the percentage instantly jump back up again. If I don't get any ideas on here ill probably take it in to an apple store and see if I get any joy there. I'll let u know the outcome if I do go to a store, maybe I can at least buy one at a reduced rate or something. I got my iphone 5 on the day of release so I'm outside warranty too :(

  • Iphone Screen Flicker Glitch

    Hi,
    Recently, I've been experiencing an issue with my iPhone 5 that hasn't happened for the first month I've had it.
    Two days ago, I was playing a game, when suddenly the screen dimmed and blacked out, and then showed a blank white screen with black glitchy lines all over it.  I pressed the home button and it got me out of it.  Today, it happened twice with two other apps.  The glitch also comes in the form of the screen flickering on and off really fast with strange colors and lines.
    Is this a software or hardware issue?  Is there a fix?
    By the way, this is NOT the keyboard flicker issue that others have had.
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

  • Dashes all over icons, dashboard, more

    My screen has developed little dashes all over the icons, dashboard, title bars and mouse. They look like tally marks, groups of five that obstruct the icon images and disrupt screen savers, etc. I've reloaded software, they stayed away for a few minutes and I thought that solved the problem but then they came back. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Here's a more specific timeline, as best as I can remember:
    1) I was running Mac OS X 10.4.7 (the last version preceding the upgrade for Power PC, which I had avoided using as I don't have a Power PC) when the problem first began. I wasn't using any new software or doing anything new, and had been using this OS for quite a while with no problem.
    2) So I reloaded my original software, Mac OS X 10.4, from disc. Problem seemed to go away.
    3) I couldn't use newer versions of iTunes, etc with my original software, so I downloaded an update to the newest OS, Mac OS X 10.4.10, which I was using when the problem returned.
    Don't really have a way to post a screen capture, but there are short vertical dashes in groups covering ny icons, forming a square with my mouse at upper left & moves w/ mouse, covers all dashboard images shimmering over entire screen when screen saver comes on, etc. Kind of looks like this hanging off my mouse pointer:
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
