Iphone 5S lock screen strange image

I have a 1 week old 5S and have started getting a strange image on my lock screen where the clock is.
It occurs exactly where the clock digits are in either the hour or minutes. It's the same width and is about 1/4 of the total area.
It seems to clear itself when either the minutes or hour digits change but can't be cleared any other way.
Does anybody know what it is. I have tried a reset of the handset but it keeps reappearing.
Sorry I can't describe it any better.

I have this issue too. It is missing part of 5.
I ordered my iphone 5S online and received on 11/1/2013.
I will go to Apple Store to askwhat's wrong with it.

Black bar on bottom of iPhone 5 lock screen

There is a black bar at the bottom of my iphone 5 lock screen, is this supposed to be there? Is enyone else having this problem? The top image is what shows
when I set the lock screen picture, and the bottom is what the actual lock screen looks like. Is there any way to fix this?

nevermind, im just dumb, for some reason the wallpaper would move up from where i originally had it selected, moving the image down lower on the choose wallpaper screen fixed it.

I have no idea why it stopped working. But why it failed does not matter.
Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repair Center and have it assessed and see what it would take to get it working.

How to disable iPhone 5 lock screen voice over passcode?

I'm not at all sure what you're asking.
I guess you might mean you would like Siri to function when the iPhone is locked. You can do that by going to
Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Siri = "On".

Wallpaper on iPhone 5 Lock Screen won't stay

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to a new iPhone 5 a couple of days ago and noticed that the lock screen wallpaper I had on the 4S did not transfer. I assumed it was because the image I had used was no longer in my photo roll and changed it to something else. The iPhone will only actually show the lock screen wallpaper on a random basis, however; most of the time there is nothing displayed. This is true whether I choose a stock image or something from my camera roll. The normal app background wallpaper is unaffected and shows exactly as expected.
Is anyone else seeing this sort of annoying behavior?
Never mind. I didn't think about the fact that, when charging, it only displays the battery charging image.

Thanks for updating your post. Saved me tons of frustration.

Deleted English keyboard and now can't log into iPhone from lock screen

I downloaded SwiftKey for my iPhone 5S after updating to iOS8 and found that it didn't pop up as the default keyboard for the phone. I went to keyboards and deleted the standard, iPhone English keyboard which then made SwiftKey the default. In 20-20 hindsight it was a very stupid thing to do, but it really seemed like a good idea at the time, and it did make SwiftKey the default. Of note, I still had the Hebrew keyboard loaded as a secondary keyboard.
The problem is that when the iPhone locked out, the Hebrew keyboard now comes up in the lock screen. I have no way to switch the lock screen keyboard to English characters so that I can input my password. Effectively, I am now unable to log into my iPhone. I tried turning it off and on and also tried a 'hard reset' by pressing both the power button and the home button until the iPhone reboots. Still no access to the English keyboard on the lock screen....
I have the Phone backed up completely on my computer at home--how do I get the English keyboard back so I can log in? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay. I know I'm not the only one who has this problem, because I just answered another query. After playing around with the iPhone a bit and talking to the guy in our IT department I found the answer... I'm posting the answer to my own question so that if anyone else has a problem they can find the solution here.
You will need a computer with iTunes running and your sync cable.
Here's what I found out... If you hold down the power button and the home button for a ridiculously long time (close to a minute and it might cycle through the plain apple picture twice) you eventually will get the a screen that looks that looks like an iPhone sync cord and an arrow pointing to a red iTunes logo.
You can then hook the phone up to your computer, boot up iTunes, and the phone will be recognized by the computer. After that, you simply go to iTunes and pick the option "restore iPhone" and that should work... This will reset your phone to the factory settings.
Once this is done, you can sync to iTunes again and restore all your phone from your iTunes back up. If you don't have a back up, this will probably wipe out the data on the iPhone, but at least you'll have a working phone when you are done.
I'm really kicking myself for removing the English keyboard, but as it was an option to remove it, I couldn't imagine that the phone would have a problem like this if I eliminated it. Apple will really need to rethink this one if they give the option of removing their English keyboard.
Good luck!

Green battery on top right of iPhone 4s lock screen, is it fake or normal one? It isn't charging.

My dad bought an "iPhone 4s" in Greece. He showed it to me on Skype. He showed me the box, there is an "AT&T" and a price sticker, and the "4s" on the side of the box is highlighted with black which I think that it isn't highlighted. When he showed me the phone, the lock screen has a green battery icon on top right of the lock screen, which is normally white. In my case, the battery was like the battery on "settings". I wanna know if it is normal or fake. Thanks.

Hello, michellefromafrica.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you have already looked at the section related to error 2006 in the second article below and the device is still unable to be restored. I would recommend trying the steps in the article below.

Iphone 5 Lock Screen button doesn't work.

Hi, i have an iPhone 5, and the lock button doesn't work immediatley on press. I have to press it about 5 times for this to work... I'm pretty sure my apple warranty has ran out, is there another way of fixing it?

Use virtual power button. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn iPhone OFF. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

Lock Screen Custom Image Stuck on Load for Windows 8.1

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1, but it reset my custom lock screen image. I tried re-applying it but the lock screen preview in the settings is stuck on a load loop. Does anyone know why that is and why it won't set my custom image as the
new lock screen image?

Hi all,
I've experienced the same issue and it disappeared after doing some weird steps.
First about the problem:
I have Surface Pro tablet, updated to Windows 8.1 many months ago. However yesterday this issue happened for the first time (not sure what triggered it) and continued today as well, even after restarting:
- Charms bar > Settings > Personalize. Click on background color or Accent color palette to try to change color: the pane and Start menu behind freezes and doesn't react on anything except for pressing Windows button on tablet, that throws back to
desktop. But when you return to that menu it appears the color has been changed after all (as much as could have been done in one click before it froze).
- Can't change lock screen: I didn't move the image selected there and previous images, they are still located at the same folder. But after selecting an image loading wheel spins and image never updates.
Fix:
After reading here that this replicates with account picture for some people, I wanted to check this on my tablet as well. My account picture shown the current image and 2 previous images to the right. When clicking first of those, nothing changed. When
clicking on the second one it shown the image from the first selected as account picture, and vice versa - when clicking on the first again it shown the second pic selected as account picture. After browsing and selecting other image, it didn't update in account
picture, but after going out from the menu and back again it appeared that the account image updated after all.
After that all started working normal again - can select account picture, change lock screen and personalize without problems. Weird, but it worked.

Weird Message on iPhone 5 Lock Screen.

So I received this message on my iPhone 5 in lock screen mode:
"Receiving... 33%"
The screen was black with the message in white text.
No apps to receive whatever! I have the latest IOS.
Any idea of what this might be?
Many thanks.
Cheers

That happens sometimes if you try to hit a combination of numbers such as that to get your IMEI but instead trying to access a function that is not supported by your carrier
For example dialing *#06# will get you your IMEI number - doing this will actually reproduce the grey screen you speak of - but also show you a number
The question I would have is - was your phone ported from one carrier to another? If so it may be programmed to do some self diagnostic that is no longer available hence the message

My iPhone 5 lock screen is unresponsive after iOS 7 update.

It's weird because the new iOS worked for about a day then started to act laggy. When I restarted the phone the lock screen is totally unresponsive.
All help appreciated.

Oh, and yes, I have already done the hard reset trick of holding down power and home keys at same time.
Also tried to restore through iTunes but it won't let me because I have "find my phone" turned on and it tells me to turn it off before I can restore it. But it can't even get into the iPhone settings to make the changes.
I like the look and feel of iOS 7, but I wish it would actually work.

Iphone 5 lock screen button unstable in comparison with the Iphone 4?

IOS 8.2 on iphone 5s lock screen icons are larger

Since upgrading my iphone 5s to 8.2, the signal, carrier, and battery icons on the lock screen are larger then they are when the phone is unlocked on the home screen... When I unlock my phone, the icons stay large for a brief moment and then flicker, and then shrink down to the normal size. Is this a known bug in iOS 8.2? It is really rather annoying as the screen is lagging and it takes time for the icons to go to their normal size instead of just being at the same size on the lock screen and home screen.

I suspect it was intentional, so you can get a quick reading of network and battery without putting on my glasses
I also don't consider it significant; I do not notice any flicker in the font change as the screen opens. And I have Reduce Motion turned on, because I think the fly-in is pretty silly.
A long time ago I worked in a software development environment that defined 4 levels of criticality in classifying bugs:
Critical - the bug prevents a customer from using a key feature (or the application as a whole)
Severe - Same criterion as Critical, but there is a workaround
Annoying
Interesting
I would classify this one as a 4.
