IPhone 5 green glow at bottom of screen when 'woken up'

Got my black 16GB iPhone 5 from phones4u on the 17th November 2012. 2 weeks after I had it, I noticed a green glow appear at the bottom of the screen when I pressed one of the buttons to wake it up. This only happened when the phone had been locked for 5 minutes or more. Gradually, it started happening after every time I woke the phone up. I put up with it as I didn't think I'd be able to get it repaired/replaced. On the 20th December, the lock button on top of the phone started to not work on the right hand side, only worked if I pressed the left side of the button. Enough was enough and I made an appointment with a genius at my nearest apple store (Birmingham). I went to my appointment on the 5th January. The genius was really helpful and he replaced my phone there and then. Yesterday I started to notice a slight green glow around the bottom of the screen when it has been 'sleeping' for around 10 minutes. I have had this new phone less than a week and I am pretty hacked off. I don't know whether to go back and explain the problem and how angry I am, as I never had this trouble with my iPhone 4! It's not affecting use of the phone but it's an annoying trait considering the cost of it!
Is anyone else experiencing this?

i got my 15" i7 HR glossy macbook pro yesterday, just like Webmaestro, i noticed the EXACT screen back-light bleeding behavior on my machine during it's first boot up.
however, beside this back-light bleeding, the screen is beautiful, very bright & crispy color, no yellow tinge , no dead or stuck pixels.
been going through several 27" yellow iMac nightmares in the past few months. right now i am struggling and worry if i'd get a replacement macbook pro which would come up with something even worst than what i am having now.
did some researches on the internet and found this :

those images also show some subtle backlight bleeding at the bottom of the 2010 macbook pro screens which makes me think that there's actually no perfect apple laptop screen that ever exist. (…i got a 5 years old dell and a 3 years old sony laptop both are with the same resolution and their screen has zero backlight bleeding, very even back light illumination. )
i am wondering if it is just me being too picky for a perfect apple screen that will never exist?
the apple stores lighting here in ginza is just too bright that i could not check and see if there's any backlight bleeding on those macbook pros on display. Genius are nice but i know what exactly they are going to tell me if i ever ask them if my machine's screen is normal.
maybe there are many many other 2010 macbook pro owners who got the same backlight bleeding screens but they just don't ever care about that much?
if ALL macbook pro has this kind of "subtle" backlight bleeding behavior. i am cool with my machine; but if this problem belongs to the apple QC department, i am not sure if i want to get myself into another never ending replacement/return loop again after the very bad 27"imac experience.
here's the data of my screen: 9CB6, LTN154MT07.
thank you for reading, just wanna share some thoughts…
cheers.

IPhone 4S is stuck at activation screen when trying to update iOS7 please hep!

iPhone 4S is stuck at activation screen when trying to update iOS7 please help!

All of Apple's servers...including the activation servers are pretty much flooded with users like you doing the same thing. Be patient and keep at it...or wait till the traffic to them has decreased and then try again. Coming back to it tomorrow (if that's a viable option for you) will likely increase your chances of not having issues.

How can Apple claim the iPhone has a Super-High res screen when its not even HD? From what I understand, 1280x720 is basic high definiton, and the retina screen only goes up to 1136x640.

There's more to resolution than pixel count. Consider the pixel size on the iPhone screen in comparison to the pixel size on your forty inch HD TV.

My iphone 5 get stuck in locked screen when two or more missed calls or messages shown on locked screen list

Hi bhagath1339,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The first troubleshooting steps I would recommend in this situation would be restarting and if the issue continues, resetting the iPhone.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue continues after restarting and resetting, it may be necessary to restore your iPhone to isolate software versus hardware. Please follow the attached article if you need assistance restoring the device.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Have a great day,

How can I make iPhone 4S Video's fill the screen when using them in iMovie 11 on My MacBook Pro

Hey Guys.
I am a singer songwriter from he UK.... I recently bought an Iphone4s, Ipad and Mac book pro (haha, apple hero, I know). I have always wanted to make the big jump to apple, just was waiting a little while.
I am thrilled so far, it's all great. But, I use Imovie (i am still getting to grips with it, but the features are amazing) to make videos of me singing coversand original videos for youtube.
The Camera on the iphone4s is great.
But, when I import videos into Imovie11, the videos do not fill the screen in their original form.
In some videos, I use the Ken Burns effect. Now, on the parts of my video when I use this effect, it fills the screen as it should do.
Why do the videos in their untampered form not do this? I have tried importing widescreen, original size, and Large, but it alwys sits in the middle of the screen, fairly thin lookin. It fills the screen when it's on my Iphone, I am very lost.
plesse help.
thanks.

if i can offer any more info please just ask

My iphone 4s goes to a black screen when in use of any apps. after the update to ios6 any ideas for a fix?

Since i updated to ios 6 my iphone goes to a black screen when it is in use. I could be texting and 5-10 sec later it goes to a black screen and than to the home page. Its also will be when playing games and so on. Can you please help me with this? I have tried resetting my phone, press the home button 2 time and canceling any running apps and even press home and powering button and still does the same thing. I need help!!!! Any suggestions?????

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

IPhone 5 App Store keyboard glitch -- persistent green lines at bottom of screen

I just brought home my new black 32GB iPhone 5 from the Verizon store. After using it for an hour or so, and switching over to WiFi, I entered my Apple ID password in the App Store to (re)download an app. My password requires me to switch to the ".?123" keyboard. The bottom ~1/5 of my screen became fuzzy, as though the keyboard overlay was sticking around longer than it should have. After a short time, glitch resolved to a state that's been "permanent" - vertical green lines. These green lines fade in slowly after I wake the screen from sleep. They've persisted through multiple power off > on cycles, a hard reset, and even through the upgrade to iOS 6.02. Interestingly, screen captures do not seem to grab these green lines.
Any ideas on how I can fix this, or am I going to have to get the phone replaced?

I think this is normaly. I've had some issues (gone through 6 replacements - not trivial issues, dead home button, dead camera, dead wifi that kind of thing). I noticed this on the 3rd replacement and everyone since. People are claiming that they have received "flawless screens" (whatever that means). I think the Sharp pannels are the ones that don't show these interlacing lines and AU Optronic pannels do. I have experience with AU Optronic pannels and everyone that I have ever owned (Motorola Xoom, PC Monitors, etc...) have done this. It is too bad that Apple settled for this manufacturer, but it is a gamble whether you will get one that doesn't do it. It is normal and within specs as most the iPhones at this point with have AU pannels due to Sharp's shortage.
The geniuses will likely not replace an iPhone for this reason. If you have AppleCare+ and have an incident in the future, perhaps you'll get lucky and get a sharp pannel put on to replace the AU pannel. But, there is no way to know which phones have which pannels.
Interestingly, I checked at the Apple store and 50% of the display models did it, and the genius that I spoke to's iphone 5 did it. You can find wall paper that is alternating black and white lines one pixel in width and it will cause the screen to flicker. Like you, I REALLY wish that apple DID NOT choose AU Optronics and if I had known I would have waited to purchase, but now I have it and cannot return it. I may sell it and move back to my previous phone. Given that the #1 selling feature is the retina display, it is disappointing to see a low quality pannel used. I really like the iPhone, but this is pretty much a deal breaker - and not knowing if you will get one that does it, or doesn't makes it very hard to "trust" a future production. I would rather have waited for the Sharp pannels and delayed getting an iPhone due to supply issues, than Apple finding an alternative, lower quality, source to produce them.

Gradient / Highlight / Glow at Bottom of Screen (15" i7)

I've already spoken with an Apple rep about this, and have an appt. to take my 15" i7 into the nearest store this weekend. However, I wanted to toss this out there and see if anyone else has seen this issue on their 2010 MBP. I'll describe what I'm seeing as best I can.
This issue is most obvious when a solid color is chosen for the desktop (or I have a large canvas in Photoshop with a solid color).
At the bottom of the screen, I have what I can only describe as a "glow" emanating upward about an inch. Imagine it as a faint gradient/highlight. I noticed it on my first-ever boot up, so I'm suspecting something naughty happened during its trip from China (probably had another box setting on top of it, or it got tossed around by the carriers).
The rest of the screen is fine, but at the bottom I have this odd glow... as if a little light is being cast up onto my screen. Viewing angle doesn't get rid of it either, just alters its brightness, as would be expected.

Make an appointment at the genius bar. Take your credit card. An out of warranty replacement is $229. It's cooked.

Why does my iPhone 5c go to black apple screen when I unlock it?

When using my messaging, if my phone locks when I unlock it, it goes directly to the black apple screen that usually appears when turning my phone on. Then it will eventually go back to my messages. Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to fix it?

Hi MrsBarnett10,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone not unlocking normally while using Messages, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Iphone acts like im touching the screen when im not

my phone wont unlock and i can only get it to slide about 1/4 of the way across the unlock bar and if i do get it to unlock it types in a random pass code and locks me out and if i manage to get past both of these it sometimes will open up apps and messages and it always types in the bottom row of the keyboard and tries to copy and paste random stuff. i recently had my screen replaced and im wondering if that has anything to do it but im also wondering if it might bw an iOS problem because ive read on here that some other peoples phones are acting weird and a few of my friends are..

do a reset
hold home /sleep buttons UNTIL Apple logo appears , ignore red off slider .
If the screen was replaced by a " Phoneshop " rather than Apple then take it back they have screwwed up your iPhone and now the warranty is void and Apple will not ever provide service or help with that device

Why does the iphone say no sim in activation screen when i have inserted the the iphone original sim

i have bought a atnt locked phone, i try to activate it but it says no sim.when i insert the atnt original sim, nothing happens and it still says no sim. What is the problem with it? can a activation sim be used twice?

What is the problem with your sim tray? If you tried to get your sim out using something and accidentally scratched the sim chip, your sim chip is broken and it is not free to fix. On the other hand if other sims work, you can call AT&T and ask for assistance from them.

I have a iphone 16gb its has a black screen when i connect up to itunes its in recovery mode and when i go for restore i get error 21 and still the screen is black helpp
