  • Iphone 5 screen Flickers some time while entering app store password

    Hi
      My Iphone 5 screen Flickers some time while entering app store password, not sure if it is BUG of Iphone 5 or I OS6 . Do I need to exchange my device?

    It happened to me as well. Once in App Store and once in Flight+ app. It happens where the keys QWERTY is on the keypad. I assume it is a software bug in the OS. However, I don't eliminate the possibility of a hardware issue with my device since I dropped it on a hard carpet floor from waist height. No appearance damage but not sure about any internal damages. I will update this thread when I get more updates

  • IPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black.

    I bought an iPhone 5 in New York last December. Now I live in Bogotá, Colombia and I can't find an authorized service center because they said that only if I bought it from a local carrier they attend the warranty.
    My iPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black… The only way to make it work is to reboot with Home and Lock buttons pressed at the same time. But in the process most of the times it flickers again, and again, and again. I couldn't find a reason to identify what could be causing the issue. Also sometimes when it freezes, some group applications get ungrouped, causing a big mess.
    I already tried to restore the phone, remove the SIM, delete all applications with no luck.
    Any sugestion? Thanks!

    Was this phone ever jalbroken?
    If restoring as new, without using a backup, didn't help, there is certainly a hardware problem that only replacement can fix.  Your warranty is void unless you return to the USA.  Short of that, finding a local independent iPhone repair center would be your only option

  • I get flickering on my iPhone 5 screen while entering password in AppStore

    Hi I get some glitches and flickering on my iphone 5 screen while entering password in AppStore, is it hardware problem or it has something to with bugs? Thanks

    I see the same thing, and only on that screen.  It doersn't seem to affect anything but looks bad.  I will try and remember to take a screenshot next time it happens and see if it shows up in the image.  If it does I'll post it.

  • IPhone 5 flickering screen issue

    Hey guys,
    I'm having a nervewrecking problem. My iPhone 5 screen/brightness just started to flicker around the edges primarily, really fast. My phone hasn't been damaged in any way, case has been on it since day one.
    I've turned it on and off, given it some rest .. still flickering! Seems like this is a hardware issue.
    Thoughts?

    Restoring the phone seemed to sort the issue, from the looks of it. iOS was the issue after all.

  • Iphone 6 water damage flickering screen

    My iphone 6 vibrated off the edge of my counter when someone called me and into the dogs water dish on the ground below. It sat in the water for 45 minutes, until I noticed it. It was still turned on so I shut down all the apps and i turned it off immediately. Wiped down and took it to my nearest apple store where they took the phone apart and said it was covered in liquid and tried to sell me a new iphone6 for $299. I came home and let it sit in a bag of rice for 48 hours. I just took it out of the rice now and turned it on. To my joy everything seemed to be working as usual but the screen seemed to have a haze and cloudy appearance. Up pops my home screen and it is very hard to see the screen and it is flickering and flashing. I freaked out and turned the phone off and put it right back in the rice. Does anyone have any helpful tips on what I could possibly do if I let the phone sit in the rice for another 48 hours and I turn the phone on, and it still is flickering screen? Is the screen able to be fixed? Everything seemed to be working beautifully except that flashing, hazy screen. Any help/tips are GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance

    Forty-eight hours is not really enough time to let it dry properly. Turning it own might have done more damage. It should be noted that, even if you leave the phone in rice for a week, there's no guarantee that it will ever work properly again. At this point, your best bet is to go back and get the out-of-warranty replacement.

  • IPhone 6 screen unresponsive and flickering

    My iPhone 6 screen all of a sudden became completely unresponsive. It no longer responds to any kinds of touch inputs. Furthermore, when on, the screen is constantly flickering with grids. I tried restarting, to no avail. as well as putting it in DFU Mode, resetting it, and restoring from backup-- nothing solves the problem. Is the only way to fix this to take it to the Apple store?

    In the last couple of weeks (and nothing has changed) - I noticed that my iPhone 6 will remain in landscape mode if I lift it up too quickly.  It's not frozen - but it's not detecting that it is upright.  The workaround seems to be lower the phone to a horizontal position and then lift it again - slowly - and that seems to restore the portrait mode.  I could understand if this started happening immediately after an update - but it did not - it started about 2 weeks ago.  Typically the app that I use in landscape mode (the most) is youtube.  I'm wondering if it is something with the YouTube app - but I don't recall any recent updates for it either.

  • Iphone 6 screen flickering dark and light

    my iPhone 6 screen keeps flickering dark and light, whats happening and how can i fix it?

    The symptoms you describe could be those of a battery being completely drained. When this happens the device will shut down and not respond even after attempting to charge. The usual cure is to plug the device into the wall charger and let it charge for at least 30 minutes. Then reset the device. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot. If the device restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%. If the device does not restart make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Iphone 4 screen flickers

    When i use my iphone 4 camera the screen flickers and changes to a thermal color.

    For the battery issue I can suggest closing the facebook app in the multitasking bar as with its latest update it's constantly running things in the background. Since doing that on my phone i've practically doubled my battery life.
    A flickering screen and broken power button is something I don't think you can do much about. You can set the phone to auto-lock after a set amount of time in the settings app (to bypass not being able to press the lock button) but to fix these issues you really do need to take it to a genius bar or other servicing provider.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to press end the call

    why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call

    hi smalley3,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
    If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
    In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

  • 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

  • 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?
