IPhone 4 (Verizon) Screen burn-in

I noticed on my iPhone 4 (Verizon) that part of the screen (from the lower left corner to the top right corner) has what looks like a gesture burn-in/blemish no matter how I try to clean off the touch screen but it would not remove.
Im not sure if its from an App/Game I was using but I'm curious how it could burn-in/blemish like that? is there a way to get that repaired?
thanks.

Hi everyone. I have some more details. The iPhone does not show in iTunes, iRecovery, or any other programs.

Your cracked screen is considered customer abuse and it will not get replaced by Verizon. You will have to file an insurance claim.

My iphone 4s' screen is shaking when the brightness is in maximum

My iphone 4s' screen starts shaking on the upper and lower part if I adjust the brightness on its maximum level (which I rarely do), but it still bothers me that there's something wrong with my phone. I usually set the brightness on medium level just enough to see the screen clearly. I'm here in the Philippines and I bought my phone last year in California. We don't have a genius bar over here and Mac stores doesn't offer repair services unless your phone is bought from a carrier (AT&T or Verizon over the US). The warranty of my phone expired two weeks ago I've already restarted and restored my phone but nothing's changed. I don't have any idea of the problem is with the LCD screen.

My iPhone 4s screen is cracked (due to being dropped) and I can't slide to unlock it. Several of the the icons on screen will not work either. Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up and never been synced with another device?
No in order to backup to iTunes, you would need to unlock your phone.
In order to import pics to your computer you would need to unlock your phone.

How much does it cost to change a cracked iphone 4 screen?

i cracked my iphone 4 screen and was wondering hwo much it would cost to replace it at apple store.
does verizon insurance on iphone 4 cover this at all?

It's in your best interest to locate an apple store and take it in...explain what happened. Trust me on this. But if you can download the apple store app (on your phone or another device), it will be worth it. With it, you can find a local apple store and set up an appointment. Yes, you need to make an appt. If you don't, they will make one for you when you walk in, but you may have to wait. Don't forget to check in when you get there. I know it sounds like too much work, but it might be worth it. It is more expensive than replacing the earlier iPhones, because they attached all kinds of junk to the screen. They aren't just replacing the screen.

Why is my Iphone 3Gs screen appear to be disintegrating?

Iphone 3Gs screen appears to have burn holes in it and looks like it is disintegrating in a pixelated format. There appears to be a dark rainbowlike hole in the areas affected. There are also small pixelated lines that run though areas of the top and bottom of the screen. We tried turning off the phone for an extended period of time and it seemed to get better but now it the problem has persisted and gotten worse.

Whether this is due to a defect in the display or damage, there's no way to fix it without replacing the display or entire phone.
If the phone is still under warranty or AppleCare, take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your area. If out of warranty, Apple can give you an out-of-warranty replacement (refurb) for $199 (in USA).
Another choice is to take it to a 3rd party iPhone repair center which may be able to fix it for a lot less. If you know what you're doing, you can buy a new LCD screen and install it yourself.

Anyone have their iPhone 6 screen replaced yet?

has anyone had to have their Iphone 6 screen replaced yet at an Apple Store? Was it pain free? How fast was it?

I hope yours doesn't break anytime soon. Because I have found out that no one can repair them yet locally at least. unless you send them to Apple.
After leaving dinner 2 nights ago My iPhone 6 dropped out of my pocket as I was getting into my car. It was less than 2 feet and I had a case on my phone and still my screen shattered. I have to say I was really shocked that it even broke. My iPhone 5 was dropped dozens of times on all kinds of hard surfaces and never broke.
I figured that I would get it take care of if I called Verizon the next day, but they told me they couldn't do anything. Then I remembered the local Apple store helped me last year when my suspend button wasn't working on my 5 and those Apple guys made myself, a cautious and doubtful customer walk out very happy with my first experience with Apple. I really didn't expect to have had a resolution when I went, but I did and they exceeded my expectations and I told my friends how great the Apple store and support was.
So I called the store and was put on hold, after waiting a a couple of minutes to talk to someone, I figured I would just create an appointment and take an hour lunch, so I could get there, and see if the local Apple store could fix my iPhone 6. I figured I didn't need to call. Why wouldn't they be able to help me?
So I made it to the local Apple and met with one of the Employees and showed him my iPhone 6 which had tape and a screen protector on it to keep the glass from falling apart. The employee told me that they could replace the screen for $109, that was great news, only the store didn't have the equipment to fix it yet and probably wouldn't for a couple weeks, but If I wanted they would swap mine for a new one for $299. Unfortunately I didn't have the money to shell out for that, I just got the my iPhone 6 the other week. The guy said well if you can live with it just check back in a week or 2 and hopefully they will have the equipment. Needless to say I left there a little disappointed.
I really needed to get my phone fixed. When I got back to the office I called around and found that nobody could repair them yet. The guy at Batteries Plus even said that he hoped that they would be able to repair them soon, because he already had people calling and stopping by wanting to get the iPhone 6 screens repaired.
I figured I wasn't going to give up. I thought that maybe if I get in touch with the someone directly through Apple.com, there might be another solution. I got in touch with them through the chat support and I could send it in for repair. I told them that I only have one phone and I can't send it in and and be with out a phone for 5-7 day while my screen is fixed. I felt like this script went back and forth a little bit and then I was told once again that I could send it in and have it fixed and that I could just use another phone. I had to once again tell her I didn't have another phone and that I just traded my iPhone 5 in to get the iPhone 6 and had I know that I was going to have these kind of problem I would have just kept my iPhone 5. I thanked her for her help and told her that I was getting frustrated.
I was told the she was going to transfer me to her supervisor. I was told by Ali, "The Supervisor" that he was reviewing the chat and he would be right with me. I thought great he will see what has already transpired and hopefully I can get my phone fixed without having to send it in. Nope same script as the girl before. I was also told to try another Apple store an hour away from me and maybe they could replace my screen. I am sorry, but maybe they could replace it? These are Apple stores! How is it that Apple does not know whether one of its store can fix my screen or not. So I am a little more frustrated. I told them I work 11-12 hour a day 6 days a week. At some point I was told something like I could pay $299 then I would get reimbursed after it was fixed and only end up paying $109. Really It was some crap like that. I guess he missed were I said I didn't have $299 otherwise I would have replaced it at the store.
Really though by this time I was done, the frustration was not worth it. I figured my phone is taped up no more shards of glass to fall off or stick to my finders. I will wait until whenever they finally get the equipment that they need at my local Apple store to repair my screen. You guys probably should have had that equipment ready at stores when the iPhone 6 was released.
Good Luck!

Iphone 6 screen broken. local authorized service center cannot be reached despite arranging for "schedule a call" session. pls help

iphone 6 screen broken. local authorized service center cannot be reached despite arranging for "schedule a call" session. pls help

They do not know where your phone is yet because it has not had enough time to go through the process yet. I also started to worry when two weeks had passed and my iPhone 5S was still showing not received on the status website. That's when I joined this forum to see if anyone else was having the same problem. What I found out was that some people had been given reduced value for their trade in, but I also found posts from people like myself that were worried that their phone was lost and then came back and posted a week or two later that they had received their gift card.
I decided to chill and give it some time and about a week later my gift card arrived. If it had been for less than the promised amount I would no doubt still be upset and posting about it like the many posts I still see on here on a regular basis.
This is no doubt a popular program for Verizon. I would imagine there have been thousands of phones traded in. There are going to be at least some screw ups in the process. There is no point in getting ahead of yourself and assuming your case will be one of the screw ups unless it already is. Verizon has been consistently posting that it could take 4-6 weeks for processing. You will at some point likely hear the status on your traded-in phone. Patience would not hurt in this case.

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!

Oh no Mr.Ected!
I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

HT201412 Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time

Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time.
sometimes for a few seconds, or sometimes many hours.
I've resetted it when this happens, with no luck.
I've restored it from back up, and the problem still persists.
What can i do?

Hello,
I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
THAT was not an option!
BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
@Apple:
Please fix that issue in the next update.
Hope, this helps you guys as well.

IPhone 4s screen can't be scratched

I've got an iPhone 4s like 6 months ago. I protect my screen with a screen protector, but my friends told me that iPhone's screen can't be scratched, its this true?

Of course it's not true. It's made of glass. No matter how hard the glass is, it can be scratched.
As a practical matter, I never use screen protectors and I've had iPhones since the original in '07. I've never had scratches on the screen.

IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black

IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

A message to everyone experiencing screen burns on their Macbook Pro's with Retina Display

I went to the apple store to exchange my old mac book pro with retin a display for a new 1 because I had the screen burn problems. After they went over my computer they noticed that I had a logical board problem. You guys might not have the same problem but the way that they figured it out is when they tried to migrate my information because with a thunderbolt port it would've taken 42 hours to transfer my 130 gigabytes of storage. I wanted to make this thread to inform you guys about this problem and maybe get yours check to see if you have it. I'm sorry about this message I didn't have enough time so I did it on my phone speak to text. Leave a reply if you guys have the same problem or have any concerns. thanks.

WisdomTooth asked:
What should I do? has this issue been resolved or should I wait?
Remember that we only hear of the problems here (and, sometimes, the solutions). I doubt if the problems are pandemic or we would be reading a lot more about them at the various Mac websites. Faulty computers are going to come out of the production line, no doubt about it. But most of the problems I've seen posted here for the MBP-R's have been remedied or some will be remedied with the release of Mountain Lion.
Since ML will surely be released in the next couple of weeks, I'd wait and see, for instance, if it addresses some of the video/USB problems that have been reported here. Some with developer seed copies of ML say that it 'fixes' the USB 3.0 problems and some of the video problems (obviously not ghosting, distorted video, etc.).
So I'd just wait a couple of weeks, see if some of the issues are cleared up, then order the Retina display if that's what you want. Every other problem I've read of seemed to have been fixed by replacing the computer, logic board, etc. That's just normal.
Good luck,
Clinton

My LCD screen burned out. I have it connected to a tv now, but can't get the menu bar or the function bars to show up. Please help!

My LCD Screen burned out, but the computer still works. I currently have it connected to an HDTV via, Mini DVI to VGA, VGA to VGA on the tv. Problem is, I can't get the function bar (maybe not the right term) or the bar at the bottom with all my programs on it. I get my screen saver and have managed to drag (by sheer luck since I can't see anything on my iMac screen) some of my pics I had on my desktop over, but nothing else. Please help!

Hello
you should have on your key board "mirroring key" , or F7 on old keyboard
for now your tv is an extended screen for your imac not a miror , so you can not see menue barre on top of screen

HOPE you are in 10.6
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8525.html
"On some keyboards, you can press the F7 key, or Command-F1, as a shortcut to turn video mirroring on or off."

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?
