Iphone 4s Halo/ White edge around screen

Please help!!
I replaced the screen on my 4S.
When switched on it works perfectly except a white transparent "halo" around the outside of the screen.
Its like the brightness is too high for 10mm all the way around the edge is the best way of describing it.
Someone must know what the devil is wrong with it....??
thanks in ainticipation

Your screen in not made to specifications. Something is too thick and the LCD Display is being pressed (smashed). The pressure on the display is giving the halo. Most likely the Front Glass is wrong, too thick. You need entire new Front Screen Assembly, unless you decide the Halo is OK.
Less likely but still possible, some object, ie screw, screwdriver, protection sheet was left in during the replacement process, and needs to be removed.

White border around screen after iOS update

Hi all
I just updated my ipad 3 to the latest version of ios and now i have a faded white border around the whole edge of the screen with the corners being rounded?! I have turned the device on and off and its still there?!? Has anyone else had this problem?!?

I agree with Nickshred. There just appears to be a small blank area all the way around the border now. I would say maybe 1mm area where the screen is no longer stretched all the way to the edges. I am positive it wasn't there before I updated, I would have definately have noticed it. It is really noticable when you are viewing the phone in direct light. When the sun is reflecting off the of phone, you can actually see the main screen is a black background with the icons on top of the black background. Then there is this small one millimeter edge all the way around that basically looks like the color of my LCD monitor when it is powered off. It is now just an unused portion of the screen. I keep wanting to stretch it or adjust it back to the edge.

Thin white line around image

Using CS3 with Vista. I have a postcard that has a background image on the bottom layer, another (overlapping) image in the next layer, and type on the top layer. The image on the middle layer is showing very minor white edges (stitching (?) I guess) around parts of it. It also printed with this same slight, white jagged edge. This middle image has an effective resolution of 300 ppi. I read in Knowledgebase about turning off anti-aliasing but when I do it still shows this white edge on screen and the type seems to marginally get slightly jagged. It was so minor that the client was fine with it but I am curious as to what was causing it and if it's something I can remedy in the future.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Gordon

Gordon has sent me his original files, and there are a couple of issues.
The first is with the background image, a 400 x 400 pixel jpeg that's been stretched to fit the rectangular sahpe, and then made 50% opaque. The effective resolution is 97 x 60 ppi, which as a ghosted background is probably marginally usable, particularly if printed on digital equipment, but is hardly optimal. I'd personally do the opacity reduction in Photoshop and save a new flattened version as a .psd for use in a background because it reduces the complexity of the file, but there's no rule that says one must do things that way. I simply prefer to use transparency only when it is required to achieve the effect.
The larger issue is with the middle image, which is a transparent .gif of a glass with a margarita. This is 1238 x 1667 pixels and has an effective resolution of 349 ppi, more than adequate for print, but it looks to me as if it was up-sampled at some point from a web image (not unlikely since it's a .gif) as the image is made of obvious square blocks that look like the original index color pixels -- a classic example of why you can't simply take a small image and upsample for print. Around the stem of the glass are a large number of white pixels left behind when the image was removed from its original background, which are showing as the faint white lines he described. These pixels could be removed using a detect edges clipping path in ID, but doing so leaves a very jagged edge. A drawn path in Photoshop is much cleaner, but the pixels in the rest of the image are still readily apparent and the image probably isn't really worth the effort to repair if a better quality can be found to begin with.

Photo Montage Has (white edge) On Some Frames

I use Memories on TV to make picture montages. Some times when I make a opening picture in Photoshop like a title or some thing. I get a white edge around two side of the first image of the slide show. I found a action one time that was to remove that. Does anyone here know where I can get this action or a different way to remove this white edge? Thanks

if it doesn't show in photoshop, then it's not part of the image, i would think, and would be a function of the app you're using for the slideshow.
I didn't find much in google but there seems to be a MOTV function called overlay which can provide borders? maybe its a setting in there...

White edge on person like tv commerical - TBS

How to create white edge around person like TBS commerical I have seen? I thouoght that might help my project. My old co-worker videotaped person stand behind white wall (not even light). I want to make all white even. I use garbage matte to remove bad light background. It is so hard. I thought maybe some way like white edge around person like tv commerical. anyone know how?

I would use Shake, the masking tools are far superior to anything in FCP, but if that's not in the cards for you, use Motion.
You can easily do a garbage matte, then luma key him, then to fill in the holes, use the Matte Magic plugin to grow your matte to fill in the eyes/teeth holes, also, this should give you a line around him. Then if it gets too big, erode it down with a second Matte Magic.
If you didn't have Matte Magic, the answer would be to blur and threshold the matte, but you probably won't need to do that.

White ring around iPhone screen

The screen on my friend's iPhone 4s suddenly has a white ring around the screen. Looks something like the photo below. Why would that suddenly appear? Is there any at-home fix?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). However, I doubt any of that will help as I strongly suspect the issue is caused by either a hardware failure or user inflicted damage.

My sister has the latest iphone 4 update and so do I. She has this feature that is like a shortcut on her screen at all times and I was wondering how I get it? Its like a square thats faded with a white circle around it?

White halo effect on every screen on iPhone - Any ideas?

I have recently begun to have problems with my 18 month old iPhone 5 freezing in shutdown. I have had to reset it several times. After checking all settings and deleting unused apps etc. I seemed to have resolved the problem and it has been fine for about three weeks. However, today whilst the phone was recharging it began an intermittent beeping - this stopped when I disconnected it from the charger. I then updated it to the most recent iOS 7. This evening it became very overheated (hasn't done this before) and now it is displaying a white halo effect on every screen.
The phone has not been dropped or ever immersed in water. I only ever use the original lightning cable and charger.
I have 6 months to go of a 2 year contract.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there hope or is my phone in its death throes??
I would greatly appreciate any help or advice. Thank you.

Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...

Iphone keeps flickn white and some times stays on white screen

iphone keeps flickn white and some times stays on white screen

buldogg77, nbuubu and bwible.
I decided to return the iPHone 6. I have not had good experience with Apple products. I purchased three recently, which all had major issues (purchased within weeks of the iPhone 6). I had a 5s, which was going into low-signal mode and burning out the battery before mid-day. I had a Mac-Mini that kept dropping the wifi signal and had issue reconnecting when waking from sleep (this became nearly useless for anything online) and a iPhone 5c that could not be activated (a complete brick). The 5c was the last purchase (on-top of the Mac-Mini) that made me give up. I was not going to exchange four products that cost around $2k.
I ended up ordering the Moto X second Gen. It has an amoled display and amoleds typically don't have uniformity and hot pixel issues. Also, I got accidental coverage, accessories and 32GB of memory for less than I did for the purchase of the iPhone 6 16GB (about $600 after $50 student rebate). I also found Siri was not as good as Google's voice services (or directions for that matter) and the OS was not as intuitive with multitasking IMO.
I am a fan of Apple products overall and it's unfortunate Foxconn is doing them a disservice. Hopefully you all get your issues worked out. I'm baffled at how Apple products tend to get the best reviews on screen quality. Before a review should be given on accuracy, how about back-light uniformity? That is just as important for the overall user experience IMO.

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

White border around edge of pdf (not picture related)

I've been fumbling with this for days and can't figure it out. I guess that means it's probably something really simple.
I'm using CS5 and am trying to create a book cover for self-publishing.
The artboard is set to 17.28" wide and 11" tall with .125 bleed.
I created a blue rectangle (no stroke) as a background to cover the artboard and the bleed so it measures at 17.53" wide (17.28"+.25") and 11.25" tall.
Theoritically that should work? However, when I save as a pdf (or print to pdf), the document size is 17.53" wide and 11.25" tall, but there is a white gap around the top/bottom/right edge.
I've tried:
- making the rectangle larger than the bleed section
- making the artboard a little larger
- no stroke/with stroke around the rectangle (thinking it had something to do with what others have been experiencing with white lines)
- making sure smooth line art is selected
- a host of other things
.. but no change.
Image is attached, but may need to zoom in to see problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Jacob,
Thanks for the response.
I tried your suggestions - no change.
It's a simple file with not a lot of complicated items, basically just three rectangles to which I was going to add text later for the titles, etc.
The width of the artboard takes into account the size of the spine, which is calculated for each book since they have different number of pages.
I've uploaded the file if you want to take a look at it as it doesn't make much sense to me. The file can be downloaded from here:

Thanks for your time and help.

I'm shooting great white screen but when I key out the white background, I have a very thin white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften without loosing some facial opacity. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm shooting white screen and FINALLY have my lighting, white balance, exposure and focus making a great looking, crispy clip! But when I key out the white background in a short segment, I'm left with a very thin, white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften, without loosing facial opacity. I only tried using the 'Edges' tool. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.
