IPhone 5 lockscreen green glow

Hey.
My iPhone 5 is currently on firmware 6.0.2 and there is an apparent green glow in the lower parts of the lockscreen when I unlock the phone and it gets more prominent if the phone has been unlocked after a longer time. The glow is a lot like the screenshot of other users facing the same problem.
Now, I saw that everyone was getting it fixed by asking for a replacement. My problem is, the phone was bought in the UK and I am currently in Bangladesh where there are no official Apple stores. How should I ask for a replacement and what should be the procedure for it?
Really would appreciate some help in this matter

That's what it looks like and I am extremely afraid that it might get worser with more usage. Please help me as I own a MacBook Pro, iPod touch and even an iPhone 4s and this is the first time I am noticing any such defect in an Apple product.

  • 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 :
    http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/649#
    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 5 green glow when powering on.

    I've got a green glow when powering on my iPhone5. The longer I don't use my iPhone the bigger the glow is. Overtime the glow is getting bigger and bigger and it is now visible in all four corners of my screen. After powering on, the weird green glow fades away. What should I do?

    I had the same problem. I called apple suport and got a replacement. TnT came and collected the iPhone and deliverd me a new.

  • Iphone 5 green glow at edge

    Recently I realize my iphone 5 has a green glow at the edge or the phone, and it happens in all of my friend's iphone 5 also. Please let me know how can I correct it. Is Apple gonna repair or replace my phone? My warranty has expired though.

  • Green glow on iPhone 5 unlock screen?

    I've had my iPhone 5 for a few days now and I've noticed this issue more and more. Whenever I wake my iPhone there is a split second where a green glow around the edge of the screen is visible. It's a bit like light leakage but its green and only appears for a fraction of a second after you turn on the screen. It is also sometimes activated by using the slide to unlock, which makes it glow brighter.
    Does anyone else have this happening with their new iPhone? I don't know if this is the start of a defect or not... I have had very rare graphical flickering and tearing of the keyboard UI, but that's only happened once or twice and only for a second, as soon as I started typing it went away.
    It looks like this might turn into a trip to the Apple store, I just wanted to know if anyone else has noticed this weird phenomenon on their new iPhones.

    I tried screenshotting it, but its not picking up the green glow in any of the captures (not surprising).
    Here is a quick photoshop to give you an idea of what it looks like:

    Try taking the iPhone to an Apple store and having a Genius take a look at it.

  • Green Glow?

    What is this green glow I keep reading about with the battery? My battery on the main screen fills with green as it charges and the icon in the corner changes when its full. Can someone fill me in the the glow part?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Actually PTBoater, there's a bit more to this sadly-obsessive "green glow" yarn... The 411 is, from the "glow initiated crowd", is that you only get the real glow when that last sliver on the right is gone, the whole battery is green and the "charged" plug icon appears in the center of the green battery. At that point, and only at that point, will the green battery glow more brightly than before. Kind of like the most holy of grails. I kid you not...
    I tried to convince them that it was only a bug, that didn't actually affect the charge of the iPhone (only the indication on the screen), but they shooed me away for being a non-believer.
    ...And that's the whole 411 on the infamous green glowing battery.
    All you kids to bed now...

  • MBP Green Glowing Light in-between F5 & F6 ? ? ?  Could not log in!

    Was watching a game (streaming) and put it to sleep, then opened the MAC right back open (about 3 seconds), the wheel never stopped spinning and my F5-F6 keys had a green glowing light underneath it.
    What is that? Should I be worried?
    Thanks!

    Thanks - wow, well I don't have the warranty and it was in the nice comfy computer bag and it fell off the bed onto carpet - very low fall, hardly made a noise. Was in sleep mode.
    So anything weird and I am like freaking out.
    Think I will get that 3 year warranty. Just in case.
    Thoughts?

  • My texts to some other iphones are green.  problem just started a few days ago

    my imessage has been working fine for many months.  a week or so ago, some imessages to other iphones are green, not blue.  I am on a pay per text plan, so I want to make sure these are going thru as imessages, not as texts

    Green is SMS, Blue is iMessage.
    If iMessage is working for some contacts but not others, the issue is unlikely to be on your end but rather with the person(s) that it is not working with.

  • Dim Green glow on Charger

    Hello. I have an issue regarding my Macbook Pro. I've had it since 2011. Not sure if it is early or mid or later but that's the year I've had it. A few months ago, around August, I noticed something peculiar with my charger. One night I got home from work and noticed my charger had a dim green glow on it. I checked my computer and found that it hadn't charged my computer while I was away. However, I simply unplugged it and plugged it back in and it went back to normal and began to charge. I then noticed it did the same thing a few days later and the same fix helped it. I called Apple Care and the guy suggested an SMC reset. I did that but I still noticed the issue, but also found out I can make it go away but moving the charger while it is in its port; almost as if I am realigning it. I called Apple Care again and after telling the guy my whole story, he suggested that it was probably the charger. Now I've looked on the internet and I've seen many people having a similar issue and the usual answer I've read is "The logic board is going bad". But my computer is still working. The keyboard lights up, it still holds a charge, and 99 percent of the time the charger works perfectly. Hearing that they declared "that I would know if the logic board is going bad".
    Another representative said the same thing and even suggested that perhaps it might be the charger port in the computer itself. Now I am trying to relax after all this but still the whole thing is making me nervous. Part of me wants to believe them but there is still the part that feels it is something worse. Still Apple seems confident it is the charger and not something internal. At the moment my computer is working fine. Sure it occasionally freezes for a few seconds after I wake it from sleep mode, but otherwise it is pretty reliable. Heck I even drained the battery to zero and the charger brought it back to 100 percent no problem. I guess I'm trying to curb my worries and hopefully get other opinions.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated as I don't want to shelve out money for a new computer anytime soon. I also plan to take it to a nearby geek center to try their charger and play around with it so I can determine if it is the charger or the port.

    If the 2 computers have the correct cable connections, try the Target Disk Mode. You can copy your data to an external hard drive or make a clone to the external. Then proceed with the repairs.

  • Making calls on my iPhone/ LockScreen and Message freezing

    Hi, ive had my iphone for about six months now, im still under warranty and ive just recently been having few problems that are quiet annoying. My first problem , while making calls i can barely hear what the person is saying to me and they can barely hear me, i dont know if this is a general problem but its been happening for about 2 weeks now. Second, when in my lockscreen and recieving messages my phone just flashes and goes black i then click the lock button on the top and nothing happens.. again... nothing happens then after i like click the button repetitivly it finally come back but doesnt show i have any messagesm and when i go to my messages it doesnt show what the person sent.
    Im still under warranty is there any chance of them giving me a new phone?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
    If they do not resolve the issue, take the device to Apple for evaluation.
