IPhone 4S screen looks motion blurred?

So about two or so weeks ago, my iPhone (4S) started to look almost like a light motion blur effect was used on the screen. I haven't gotten it wet or anything like that, so I'm not sure why it started doing this. I've tried to find a fix for this, but I haven't found any posts/other online resources where the problem is the type of blurring that I seem to be having. I've got a few photos of what it looks like:
(blurred on the "enter passcode" text and the white squares)
(for reference, that last walking dead photo, this is what it actually looks like: http://distilleryimage2.ak.instagram.com/aa7274a2347111e39c3022000a1fb14d_8.jpg - as you can see, quite a difference from how the image is displayed on my phone).
It's obviously a fairly minor thing and seems to only happen with white colored text and areas, but it's starting to get a bit annoying. I was hoping someone here might have some suggestions for me on how to fix this? I've already toggled with the brightness and restarted the phone (both regularly and with a hard reset), but neither helped. Any advice would be much appreciated.

No.
You would have to send your iphone to someone you know in Canada, then that person would have to get the iphone to Apple.
Apple will not accept a shipment from outside the country.

  • My iphone 4 screen looks negative

    My iphone 4 screen looks negative, when i take a screenshot its normal. I have had the screen replaced because i shattered my screen last year. I have also had the motherboard replaced in the phone a few weeks back. It is not doing this because of white on black or inverted colors. i think it might be a hardware problem. If anyone else has had the problem please share your info. I just woke up and it was messed up the night before it was perfect, i didnt drop it or get it wet either before it happened. I have had ios 7 since May so I dont think its because of that either. Thanks!

    no that didnt work my screen isnt on negative, it also gets alot of white lines across the screen when the brightness is all the way up ): thank you for your help!

  • My iPhone 4 screen looks like colorful blinds!

    This is my Home Screen.
    This is my Lock Screen.
    I think I had this problem on January 2013.  Still: responds, have sounds, can charge it, turns on and off.
    The problem is this is just what I see, colorful blinds! I can touch apps and type but all I see is blinds! Please help! I don't remember if I dropped it on the floor or somewhere with water because I just noticed this when I'm about to charge it
    --- When I connect it to my computer, my photos are still there and they're not broken.
    --- If I need to restore it, I can't install iTunes on my computer. I don't know why. I use Windows 7 Professional.

  • Odd motion blur when iPhone 6 is cold.

    Hey so I have noticed this happening since I got my new iPhone 6. I live in buffalo and below 5 degree days arnt uncommon.  I also dont have an auto car starter. I noticed That when my iPhone is in my cold car with me It seems to have what I can only call a noticeable motion blur. I never noticed this with my 5 and my brother said he didn't notice it with his 6. As my phone gets warmer this goes away. My brother got me nervous tho saying that I should take to Apple. I logically just assumed the crystals in the screen were cold and this was a non issue I shouldn't worry about. Any advice?
    Thanks in advance.

    Oh ok thanks.  So would I already know if permanent damage was done?  Also would you saying using it in the cold is the problem and not just the phone being cold?  For example if I just don't use it at all but it stays powered on while I am in cold weather or before my car warms up would that be safe?

  • Exporting HD video to Blu-ray format causes motion blur

    Using Premiere Pro CS4, I have HD video projects that are either 720p30 and 1080i  (60i). The 720p video is  1280x720 (1.0) 60fps. The 1080i footage is 1920x1080 (1.0) at 29.97 fps.
    For exporting the video to a format suitable for burning to Blu-ray (using Encore) I've am using  the  MPEG-2 Blu-Ray format using either the HDTV 1080i High  Quality or the  HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality presets, depending on the  format of the  original video that I'm compiling.
    I didn't notice it at first but when I burned first my test Blu-ray disc I found that the video was having some wierd exaggerated motion blur characteristics going on. Any abrupt movment, such as a person turning their head or a video box shrinking from full screen to half screen would be wildly blurred. I thought it might have been a result of the burn but I subsequently found the problem was introduced during the video export process in Premiere Pro. I just didn't catch it because I wasn't looking closely enough.
    Because I am using the default settings for the two presets cited above I'm at a loss about what is introducting this blur or how to go about mitigating it. Anyone got any tips? What could be having such a problem making motion which shouldn't blur too much blur so badly? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Ok, I'm stumped for the moment. To better illustrate what's going on I'll post some pics of the problem. I'm using a piece of video that's not part of my projects but it does illustrate what's going on pretty well.
    The first is what Premiere Pro is displaying for the source video. I'm currently using a Sequence Preset of DVCPROHD 720P 60P even though I don't have the hardware for it. The reason being is it stopped the blur from happening in the timeline and I think that's because this preset had a 59.94 fps preset and the source video was 60fps.
    http://www.imagebam.com/image/7bd0af110335520
    The second is a Premiere Pro frame grab of what the source video file looks like. I'm using an export of Windows Bitmap with a preset of HD Square Pixel Bitmap 720p. I'm using the Progressive setting because if I choose either Upper or Lower first the image looks even worse.
    http://www.imagebam.com/image/9aa895110335495
    The third is a Premiere Pro frame grab of what the exported video file looks like. The video was exported using MPEG Blu-ray with a preset of HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality with no modifications. I'm using an export of Windows Bitmap with a preset of HD Square  Pixel Bitmap 720p. I'm using the Progressive setting because if I choose  either Upper or Lower first the image looks even worse. Incidentally, this exported video displays in the Premiere Pro timeline with visible motion blur characteristics whereas the source video did not.
    http://www.imagebam.com/image/3a2a60110335483
    What these images show.
    1) The source video displays crisp in Premiere Pro even though this is footage of a video transition.
    2) The source video exports out with some motion blur.
    3) When you do a frame grab of the exported video the motion blur of the exported video increases.
    As I said, I'm stumped. I've tried modifying every setting in the exporter for  MPEG Blu-ray with a preset of HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality and I can't stop this blur. I looked at the H.264 Blu-ray setting but it appears useless. Every time I try to export, the exported video crashes Media Player and when I load it into Premiere Pro I see the video now has motion blur.
    At this point I'm wondering if upgrading to CS5 will make a difference or not. That's about the only thing I can think of that I haven't tried yet.

  • AE Compositor Link & 3ds Max Motion Blur Flip

    Hi,
    I have imported an object into AE via the compositor link and state sets in 3ds Max. However the key frames come in as held key frames so I have to first fix that. Does anyone know why they might come in as square key frames instead of diamond shaped ones? Here is an Autodesk tutorial that clearly shows the imported object having diamond shaped key frames without having to change them. Using State Sets - Part 8 - Working with Solids and PSD files - YouTube
    But the big problem I am unable to fix is when I apply motion blur to the object. At certain key frames the object flips see a screen shot here: https://assets.adobe.com/link/8eb67d7d-88e0-4ce5-a1e9-4d24802f1dd0?section=activity_public.
    It appears that the rotation swaps from being a plus to a minus value in AE at certain key frames causing the object motion blur to get confused. I have spoken to Autodesk support and they are stumped at when could be the cause and suggested I ask here as it may be an AE problem and not 3ds Max. Here is a link to the AE file: https://assets.adobe.com/link/6bceafc4-5410-44ef-9328-bb8011e4a86f?section=activity_public
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the help guys. The problem was in Max, I don't know exactly what, the Gamma settings looked fine to me. To fix it I just deleted the Save State and it's Output file and Targa. Then remade them. My guess is when I changed the exposure control it screwed everything up.
    I also played around with masking, just getting to know what I have to do before I do it.
    Yes, no color correction has been done, even the placement of the Windmill isn't final, this was just for practice and preparation. I am curious as to HOW I should color correct this, I'm still not sure if I want the video darker or more colorful....
    Mylenium, I'll look into the Rotobrushing and Refine Edge, and thanks Rick for the link, I'll watch it sometime soon!

  • The left side of the iPhone 5S screen is bumping a little bit

    few days ago, i noticed that the left side of my iphone 5s screen seems to not be fixed well. if you take a look at it, you can notice a liitle bump (less than 1mm) in the edge of the edge of the screen. when i push the screen softly with my finger, it goes down and the bump diappears and when i release it, the bump appears. it semms like the edge of the screen is moving up and down in the left side. none of that is observed in the right side of the screen. what is the problem? how can be fixed?

    How long ago was the iPhone exposed to rain? How long did you attempt to dry it? How did you attempt to dry it? Did you power the device off before allowing it to dry?
    More than likely, given the behavior that you are describing, the device is damaged and will need to be replaced. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store for an out of warranty replacement.

  • How do I select an image with motion blur so that I can put it onto a different background ?

    How do I overlay a image with motion blur on a white background (like the first image) onto a different background (to look like the second image)? any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks ,ed

    I’m afraid you may have bitten off more than you might want to chew.
    The resulting pixels of an in-camera-blur combine information about the color/brightness of back- and foreground (edit: the result of surface properties and lighting conditions) with motion (basically transparency for this task) in such a way that it seems exceedingly difficult (maybe even improssible) to isolate the foreground in a »pure« form.
    One may get a halfway decent mask (as the backgound is at least almost uniform and brighter than the foreground elements) but you may have to manually decontaminate the transparent areas, otherwise the masked object in front of a dark background would have a bright edge.
