Iphone 5 has white squares along bottom? Display issue (haven't dropped it)

I haven't dropped my phone and I woke up the other morning and my phone was in my charger and it now has these white squares along the bottom... Like, honestly I would have rather broken the screen because then I could use the keyboard  but now I cannot even use the keyboard. But I have read up and I'm on my family account and they say I can get it replaced at the verizon store since I have insurance and I have only had it for 2 months.... However am I allowed to go into verizon with my phone and ask them whats wrong and have them replace it even if I'm with my brother and not my dad????

    Hi there tylerhobbie2163!
I completely understand how important it is to have your entire touch screen functioning properly! I'm very sorry to learn you're having this experience. Let's make sure we review all possible options together.
As long as there's no physical or liquid damage we should be able to replace your phone under your warranty. We will need to have the account verified prior to doing so. The account owner can add you as an Account Manager as long as you're 18 years of age or older. Here's how: http://vz.to/12WfcTA
Additionally, we can complete some troubleshooting to see if we can fix it first! Have you tried powering down the device and powering it back on? How about resetting it? Ensure your information is backed up and follow the steps here: http://vz.to/1cfZDog
If you're still having the concerns after the reset please let us know here, by visiting a store: http://bit.ly/3SdsA or by calling 800-922-0204 and we can review your warranty options.

  • Photo App on iPhone 5 has "syncing" message at bottom.

    I synced my iPhone 5 to my mac and the photos load to iPhoto fine and the phone syncs fine. But, when I go into the Photos app on my iphone there is a "syncing" message at the bottom with a pinwheel.
    Any advice on how to deal with this?

    Hello, dangles8. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would first start with forcing all open applications to close and power cycle the device.  Test opening the Photo App on your device to see if they load.  If the issue persists, see the second article below.

  • Iphone 3gs has white sceen, help?

    reset the hardware, drained the battery, still have white screen. Can anyone help or advise? thks

    Most likely you have a damaged LCD Display. If under Warranty you can have Apple take care of it. An unlikely, but possible fix is to reseat LCD Cable # 1 back to the Logic Board. Apple Genius can easliy do this for you. You could try a Firmware Restore with iTunes also.

  • White 17in C2D External Display Issues

    My iMac late 2006 has a cracked screen so I have it plugged in to an external monitor. I opened it up and disconnected the inverter, webcam, and the display cable. This makes it display to my external monitor but it's having issues, the boot screen shows up to the external monitor but the screen then turns blue. Eventually I see my wallpaper and now I'm seeing the finder bar(didn't show up before) bu I can't click anything just, move around. My iMac internal screen isn't showing anything, is there any thing else I have to disconnect? Or something else I have to do?
    Oh and I never saw the log in screen which makes think it's somehow still in extended display

    Try pressing CMD F1 to place it in mirror mode.

  • Mbp c2d 17" display issues

    Hello,
    Has anyone heard of updates or fixes for the brighter bottom display issues on mbp c2d? I'm still waiting for a fix or explanation. I really want to buy one but need a better quality display.
    Thanks

    Mine is a week 48 build and the model is 9C61, manufacturer 610.
    I think it all looks very evenly illuminated to me. I ran LCDTest so I could see it with different solid colors, and it looks fine.
    This is a glossy screen, if that makes any difference.

  • Display Issue after 10.9.2 update

    After updating my Macbook Pro with Retina to 10.9.2 -- My display flickers for a second after sleep and or blank screen and then goes back to normal. Has anyone else been having display issues after updating?

    Yes similar problem here: I have a MacBook Pro, 15 inch Retina, Mid 2012, and when I connect a secondary display via HDMI (and also HDMI-to-Thunderbolt) then the external monitor becomes the main display.
    I have not figured out on  how to switch back to former settings. My guess: it's a bug. A quick search confirms that many others have secondary display issues since 10.9.2
    (Steve would have fired those lazy punks, who failed to do sincere testing before release …)

  • I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    I have restored my new replacement iPhone from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying I don't have any pictures in my camera roll, it has all the spaces for them, but it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors.  You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing.  You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
    When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore.  You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup).  Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
    You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

  • White square on iphone screen

    I recently started seeing a white square on the top left corner of the screen while unlocking or opening or closing apps. Has anyone else seen this issue? It's happening on the 5s and also on the 5.

    Hello, I have the same problem. With Iphone 5S when I open an App, sometimes, not always, emerges a flash light on the top right corner of the screen. It last only half a second but it *****. I went to Apple Store, and in the Genius Bar they took a look, said they didn't know the problem, but I insisted and they changed the Iphone for free. At home, the new Iphone 5S does the same.

  • ITunes 10.1.6.7 update has broken my foreign font display - Asian characters are now squares. How do I fix this?

    The iTunes 10.1.6.7 update has broken my foreign font display - Asian characters are now squares.
    They are fine on my iPhone, copying to other documents & through the Last FM scrobbler, yet iTunes shows songs incorrectly. I've fiddled with the ID3/Unicode settings - nothing changes.
    For example: iTunes shows a bunch of squares, yet when I copy and paste them here it becomes ~  일렉트로보이즈
    This was not a problem earlier - everything was fine in the four years or so I've used iTunes until, I believe, this update. If it was not the update, I'm not sure what else it could be?
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you!

    Thank you so much! I vigorously searched around these parts and the general internet before posting and found nothing - it's so simple, too
    Hahaha, turns out it was Windows, not iTunes, that broke my font

  • My iPhone 3g has 2 white horizontal lines i don't know where did it came from. I turn it off then on but its still there. the lines spreads everyday. I dont know how to fix it. need some help guys.

    my iPhone 3g has 2 white horizontal lines i don't know where did it came from. I turn it off then on but its still there. the lines spreads everyday. I dont know how to fix it. need some help guys.

    If you take a screenshot (Press the home button and Lock button at the same time), does it appear on the screenshot? Zoom in on the screenshot and see if it's still there.
    If not, then your display is failing. I would recommend taking it to an Apple Store if you can, if you can't then to an authorised Apple reseller.
    If it does appear on the screenshot when you zoom into the spot, then it's a really weird software issue! You might have to backup and restore the device.
    Let me know!

  • Laptop screen has a light white square with an orange dot.

    I just installed a new screen to replace a cracked one.  When the systems first turns on and powers down a faint 2"x2" white square with a 1/4" orange dot appears.  It's most visible with the lights off.  This has happened with 2 replacement screens and am now wondering if the problem is within the laptop itself.  I've added a screenshot of it with  a circle around the orange dot.  Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

    Hi
    Do a hard reset first
    Try downloading & Installing the updated BIOS and graphics drivers from your HP product site to rule out software display problems.

  • On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches long and I cant seem to get rid of them.  Is my computer dying or being hacked

    On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches horizontally along the top and they cover half of the regualr bar (so half of the apple sign int he corner is covered) and I cant seem to get rid of them.  Is my hardrive crashing or being hacked?

    I have never seen DEVELOP on the menu bar for Safari, hence my query regarding testing. 
    What OS are you using and what version of Safari?
    If you want to check your HDD, Open Disk Utilities>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
    The only remedy that I can think of that may work is an OS reinstall.
    I seriously doubt that your MBP is being hacked.
