Iphone Screen Flicker Glitch

Hi,
Recently, I've been experiencing an issue with my iPhone 5 that hasn't happened for the first month I've had it.
Two days ago, I was playing a game, when suddenly the screen dimmed and blacked out, and then showed a blank white screen with black glitchy lines all over it. I pressed the home button and it got me out of it. Today, it happened twice with two other apps. The glitch also comes in the form of the screen flickering on and off really fast with strange colors and lines.
Is this a software or hardware issue? Is there a fix?
By the way, this is NOT the keyboard flicker issue that others have had.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore

IPhone 5 Distorted Video Recording and Screen Flicker

Love most of the new iPhone 5 features and the speed on LTE service is amazing. However, my brand new iPhone 5 64GB seems to be having some issues. Two main issues.
One is an occasional screen flicker consisting of 3 to 5 horizontal black or dark colored lines. This is located at a point approximately 1/3 of the screen up from the bottom and running from the left edge of the screen to approximately the center of the screen. The flickering lines are brief and occassional, but deffinately a concern.
The other main issue is with video recording. I've attended a couple of concerts/shows in the last week. I used my iPhone 5 to capture a few video clips to share w/ friends etc. The recorded videos have brief moments of light to moderate, easily visible video distortion. There's a horizontal distorted digital shaking running the full video width, approximately 1/4-1/3 of the screem and mostly in the center of the video image. It's not related to playback on the sceen itself, but it is the quality of the video recorded. I downloaded the videos to my computer and they play with the same video distortion as they do on the phone. I had previously been impressed with the video qaulity on my 4S. Perhaps issues with over active "improved video stabilization"? Aside from those things all else seems to be good minus some occassional delayed touch responses and seemingly delayed photo opening to view from text messaging.
Hardware? Software? Bottome line, are these issues that may be resolved in a future Apple iPhone 5 / iOS 6 update or must I get back in line and try to get a new replacemnt phone?

This is not an answer, this is just an additional voice to prove and to make it apperant to Apple that they have to do something about all the problems with the iPhone5. I have as TS encounterd the camera/video destortion apart from my bad reception and battery drain problems.
I bought a 32GB black iPhone5, have already changed it once, because of the battery drain, from 100% to 70% during a night, in stand-by mode(no usage).
This second one, still doesent live up to my excpectations, batterywise my 3,5 years old iPhone 3GS is at pair with my brand new iPhone5, video distortion when recording.
I am going to change it today!! third time's a charm... Lets hope so...

Screen Flicker when swiping to home screen?

Has anyone noticed a screen flicker when swiping from page 2 to page 1 of apps? Happens every single time. It only flickers when arriving at page 1 from page 2 of apps, never in any other page or search screen.
I have a 16GB iPhone 4. Never saw this on a 3G iPhone with iOS 3.1.3

I got my iPhone 4 replaced 8-7-10 (3rd) iPhone 4. Yes I see that flicker as well. I'm extremely disappointed in apple. I had the iPhone 3G and got that phone replaced 4 times. Now I'm on my 3rd iPhone 4, why do the iPhones have so many problems? Whenever I go to an apple store I see tons of customers getting their iPhones replaced. We pay a lot of money for this phone and in the end the phone has problems which results in multiple replacements. We buy apps, movies, music, cases, batteries etc. Apple boasts about how great the iPhone is, I've yet to see that "great" iPhone.

IPad 2 screen flicker when quickly sleep then wake. can people test this on their iPad 2?

Hi.
As the title says if i quickly press the sleep/wake button a few times quickly there will be a screen flicker with lines on the screen for a split second, can people test this for me to see if it's software related? 3 of the 5 ipad's i've tested this on has the issue. Does your iPad 2 do this? thanks

This is happening to a lot of iPad 2's. Glad it wasn't just me.
I had my first iPad 2 from the uk launch day and I was disappointed when I realised mine was showing significant lines on the screen when it was activated. It gradually got worse until the point I had to take it back tothe retailer I bought it from (comet uk). I was appaled with their 3 DAY retun period. But, after a loooooong phonecall to their head office and AppleCare and with a great deal of arguing they gave my money back. I then bought one from the apple store. Got home and found that the SAME THING was happening. But worse.
Took it back yet again and got another that finally works.
Just to let you all know it is a hardware fault and it isn't normal. Take it back to wherever you got it. It isn't a software glitch either as I updated to the latest at the time with no luck. Tried wiping all my data off it too with no luck.
I've lost my respect for my iPad 2 and apple as it's ridiculous that everybody hypes the products and then when you spend all that money it doesn't work. Third time lucky though, eh?

I have an iphone 5. I have no idea of the ios version in it. Recently i broke my iphone screen and its showing up nothing. it was never synced to itunes or to any pc. When i tried to connect iphone to itunes in my pc it was asking for passcode which i had forgotten ages ago. Suggest me the possible ways to recover my iphone.

Since the screen doesn't work, it will be challenging to get it working, even thru iTunes. You will need to ask yourself if you want to invest more money in it or get a new one, especially since the contents will be lost since you don't know the passcode. Apple will gladly replace the screen for a cost that represents a significant portion of the price of a new. Once the screen is done, you may or may not be eligible for the free iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program.
Or, if you decide to salvage it and are strong of heart and firm of hand, you can replace the screen yourself for less. See here and note they carry kits with all needed tools and parts.

13" MacBook Pro - Screen Flicker / Windows 7 Bootcamp

I have a 13" MackBook Pro with Retina display that I purchased last December (8 months old). I am running Windows 7 in Bootcamp and the last few months the screen flickers on occasion (becoming more frequent). I launched the Mac OS to ensure I have the latest updates and I believe I do (nothing new to install within the Mac OS). Majority of the time I'm hooked up to an external monitor / lid is closed, but obviously that is a challenge when traveling.
I did do some searches and see other posts around screen flicker issues, but those appear to be on the Mac OS side. What is odd about my scenario is that it only seems to appear on the Windows 7 side. I can't seem to find a fix for this / really would hate to have to reload the machine.

Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my brand new 15" MBP right now.
The only problem I'm having is the USB controller issue that is reported in the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2411685&start=30&tstart=0
I ran the Boot Camp assistant, made the partition, rebooted with my 7 DVD, formatted the partition, performed a clean installation, & then installed the drivers from the OSX DVD when Windows booted the first time.
Replaced the NVIDIA drivers with the latest Verde release. 258.96notebook_winvista_win7_64bit_internationalwhql.exe
Everything seems to be running just fine at this point.

TS3694 I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

I am at Ramstein AB Germany. My iphone screen was smashed badly on the flight to Germany this morning. WHEN I access apple support for this subject it gives me 3 options call now, call me now or call me later. As I am in Germany with no coverage and no working phone none of those options will work. Can you get this e-mail to someone who can help. My iphone serial # is C38xxxxxx. 1) I need to know where and how I can get a replacement somewhere nearby in Germany 2) If 1 is not an option I need to set up an appt to get a to get a new iphone at an apple store in Atlanta GA in the evening of 11 July.
Thank you very much, Phil Edelen

Thanks, my wife is the one serving I am retired and trying to follow her as much as I can.
I will schedule an appt for my next time stateside. I have spent too much time on many Apple web sites trying to get an e-mail to communicate with anyone at Apple to no avail, only phone numbers. I guess if you are overseas with no international access you are out of luck communicating with them. I did find one e-mail address but the reply was computer generated and provided useless links.
If anyone has any e-mail address for anyone at Apple I would appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Phil

Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off. Still nothing appeared on the screen. I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black. However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed. In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on.
What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
gud luck

How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?

How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?
It seems this problem is caused by the software to increase the readibility of upper letters (clock battery etc.) It be nice to leave us the control of choosing background letter color too if we are using brighter images or darker images.
I'm using iphone 4s and it appeared after I updated to new patch. 7.1.1.
Thanks,
Cem

Macbook Pro 13 Early 2011 ocasional screen flicker...

I bought a MBP 13 early 2011 i5 new about 2 weeks ago. Over the last week or so I get an occasional screen flicker. I lasts about a second and that is it. I had a MBP 13 2010 for a year before this one and never experienced this problem with that one. I am running Lion and all the software is up to date. I guess I am wondering if anyone else with this model has experienced this, is normal, or should it be something I should be concerned about. Thanks in advance for any answers on this. Also not related to heating either, temp is running the 40's, and just web browsing.

Call Apple Care. You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked. Otherwise, you have the standard 1 year warranty and 3 years if you purchased Apple Care.
Take FULL advantage of your warranty. Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired.

How can I capture motion video of my iPhone screen?

I would like to capture my iPhone screen in action for purposes of demonstrating its usage to others (e.g. How do I create and send a text?). I want to be able to use this in a FinalCut video.

I don't think there is a supported way to make screen recordings in iOS devices.
The possible workaround is to use AirPlay and record on a second device.
There is software for the mac that can turn a mac into an airplay device. You can then use Quicktime Player to make a screen recording and then bring that into FCP X. Also instead of QT Player you may use ScreenFlow or other screen recording software if you have it.
I can't test right now, but when I get home I plan to make a little test to see how well this in fact works.

ITunes 11 how do I arrange apps on iPhone screens from computer? Device tab disappears???

I just downloaded iTunes 11, and am regretting it. It is super easy to buy new music, apps and vids, but I can't figure out how to get it to display my iPhone screens on the computer. It will sync, when I plug in my phone via a USB cord, but other than that...what the heck? I tried to click on my Device tab but the second I do, that tab just disappears. Nothing changes, I get no screen showing my iPhone screens, no way to move around my apps in iTunes. What am I missing or doing wrong? I can go to my Apps tab and see all my apps, in alphabetical order. I can select them all and update them, etc., etc., but I just can't figure out how to show my iPhone screens while in iTunes.
I've searched online and found a How To that shows your phone comes up after you click on the Device tab...but I can't get that Device tab to work. HELP! This is driving me nuts and making me feel completely illiterate.

This is what I done on my Macbook Pro 10.7.5, Using iTune 11.0.1 to Sync with my iPad 2.
Here you go
Once iTunes 11.0.1 is up & running
On the top Left hand side, Click on Apps
In the Middle of iTunes, Click on iPad or iPhone
Then on the top right corner, Click on your device icon with the Eject button
Then you should see you device screen at the bottom were you can start moving around apps or etc.....
I hope this tip Help
