IPHONE SCREEN ON PERMANENT LOW BRIGHTNESS

My iphone 3GS is on permanent low brightness. like the lowest it can go. i have turned it up to full but it stays on the lowest?
it was working normally but the screen was flickering and then it shut down to the lowest brightness even though the little brightness meter is on full.
and my cameras not working either
any suggestions on what i should do?
thanks

At a guess the backlight has gone. If your phone is still under warranty then take it in.

  • Screen flicker at low brightness

    Hi all
    I have a macbook pro unibody 15" and I seem to be getting a screen flicker at low brightness settings.
    I used to have a macbook and it never did this.
    Is this normal and if not, is there anything that I can do about it?

    Hi G,
    I was going to suggest having it checked for the NVIDIA issue, but you state you have a unibody. If you have a new unibody, you would be best served if you posted in that forum (this area is for the Original MBP). Good luck.

  • Does all imac screen flickers at low brightness?

    Hi, I just got the 21.5" imac.
    I notice there's this minor flickering problem at low brightness, is this normal?
    It seems like it's a known issue after I researched about it.
    Is it a hardware problem or a software problem?
    Should I exchange it?
    Thanks for the help!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    No that isn't normal, call AppleCare in the morning the number is in your owners manual.
    Regards,
    Roger

  • Screen flickering in low brightness

    Anyone experiencing this? If so, did you get it repaired?
    I'm contemplating to go to Genius at my local apple store or calling the apple tech over the phone. What do you guys recommend I do?
    P.S. I posted this under display forum, but there doesn't have as much as activities than here.

    I see. But I don't experience the noise people are having with problematic display inverter.

  • Why is the lower part of my iPhone screen unresponsive (certain apps only)?

    I have an iPhone 3GS, just updated it to iOS 6 last week.
    It has been working fine, but since yesterday the lower 1/10th of the screen (where the send button is for SMS, space bar and other key items) is unresponsive in certain apps.
    For example, I can swipe to unlock the phone from the locked state and generally use the lower 1/10th of the screen, but when I try to use this area in Messages, Camera, emails and other key apps the lower 1/10th of the screen is unresponsive.  Nothing happens when I click action items.  In some apps (messages) it is only the lower left corner that doesn't work.
    Has anyone had app specific unresponsiveness from their iPhone screen?
    I restored the phone last night to no avail.
    HELP!!
    I need it to work until I upgrade to iPhone 5 when it is back in stock!

  • IPhone Screen Brightness

    I don't know if anyone else has noticed it, but it seems like different iphones have different screen brightness. I compared my iphone with some iphones in the apple store and the screen was quite brigther at the max setting. Then I compared it with another person's iphone and my screen was slightly dimmer, or more "saturated" in color. Now, I have no problems with my screen. It is bright enough, but it just seems odd that the brightness of the screens is not the same throughout. Are my eyes are playing tricks on me or is this something that some of you have also observed?

    Your absolutely right I have also notice several differences in some iPhones. For example, the two that I have purchased a month apart from each other are dramatically different. I don't know how it happened but the one I got at launch had a soft screen that left discoloration marks, similar to a standard LCD screen, when a little finger pressure was applied. The battery life indicator rarely reached full charge. Additionally, the multi-touch grid points can clearly be seen behind black backgrounds i.e. the home screen. I also experienced glitches with the unit from day one. Mainly application hang-ups which left me little choice but a hard reset. A total of 16 hard reset since June 29. After attempting the software update (which I thought would cure all ills) earlier this week, the unit hung up on the boot logo for good. So after 30-days with this unit I returned to the 5th Avenue and asked that the unit be exchanged. They said no, they could only send it out for repair. I simply reasoned that it was illogical to repair an already defective item. The manager agreed and kindly swapped the unit for me.
    All I could say is...Wow! I didn't know what I was missing. This new unit has a hard screen with no grid points, battery OK, Apps seem to be more responsive, and no hang-ups so far. Good luck to all.

  • 5800 low brightness screen

    My 5800, bought last January, presented the well known stripes-on-the-screen problem. I've got it repaired in a Nokia care point but the new display has a lower brightness, yellowish tones and uneven luminosity (darker in the very top section, lighter in the bottom area). I've noticed these changes at the first power-on after the repair but, to be sure, I've put it side-by-side with another 5800 I had and the first impression has been confirmed. I suspect the display has been replaced with a refurbished or a defective one.
    I've asked the Nokia care point to get me a good-enough display, leaving again my 5800. They've called me back after 6 hours telling that the screen had been changed again (I don't believe them) but the situation was exactly the same because:
    "the most recent 5800 displays act like this; they are all the same and less bright than the ones used by Nokia before".
    This would be the first time display technology evolves toward lower quality. Is there anybody who can confirm or deny the Nokia carepoint thesis? Any suggestion on how I can get an equal or better 5800 after the in-warranty repair? Thanks a lot. Antonio

    Confirmed by another Nokia point. The new 5800 displays are less bright than the previous ones, may be for longer battery use. This is a shame for a full display phone that I use also as a navigator. My next one will not be a Nokia, for sure.

  • 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,

    to enhance your battery life, keep screen display to minimum, set screen lock automatically after 1 min, select internet notifications to off.

  • IPhone screenshot quality is low when capturing images. Why ?

    I took screenshots in iPhone5 and the Quality of the PNG screenshots is low.
    This happens only when we are capturing a screenshot in the iPhone which has image in it's screen...

  • My iphone screen went black

    my iphone screen went black

    Try these steps:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • Weird darkened spot on iPhone screen

    Few days ago I've noticed a weird yellow/darkened spot on my iPhone screen on the right side, around the SIM card. I have no idea where it came from... I didn't hit it against anything or drop it. There are no signs of damage. When the phone is on you can notice the darkened yellow color on lighter backgrounds.
    This weird spot on the screen it get brighter with more use. When the iPhone was cold it was not present.
    So what are the chances of me getting this fixed under warranty or AppleCare?
    TNX a lot for the good thoughts :-)

    I would take it to Apple and see what they say.  Worst they can say is that it's not covered under warranty.  Personally, it sounds like a screen defect to me, but only Apple will know for sure.

  • Iphone 4s frozen with low light on

    My iPhone 4S just went black - but the low light is on on the back of the phone.. Tried restarting and also resetting without any success. Battery had 80% charge. Any help is appreciated.

    @Zerole
    Try putting your handset in DFU mode.
    Plug your iPhone to your computer (don't worry if iTunes doesn't pick it up)
    Power OFF the device
    Press BOTH the Power and Home key at the same time for at least 10 secs
    Release ONLY the Power button (keep the Home key pressed)
    iTunes will have picked up your handset in Recovery Mode
    *Screen MUST still be black and not showing the iTunes USB logo* If so, repeat above.
    Now click Restore
    You should see iTunes download (if not already) the lastest iOS firmware, you'll see the progress bar on the iPhone finally as it updates.
    See how that goes.
    It can take several goes to get the handset into DFU mode, the key is the iPhone screen is still OFF!

  • Is the iPhone screen contrast adjustable?

    Is the iPhone screen contrast adjustable? I'm not talking about brightness. My screen shows shadowy horizontal (in portrait mode) stripes. I can still read the screen, but it is generally washed out, with the prominent stripes. Playing with the brightness doesn't help much.

    I opted to send mine (well my wifes) in, in the past.
    Call 1-800-MY-IPHONE
    Tell them the problem.
    They will ship you a box (prepaid to send back) with all the materials needed to ship back.
    You will be told to take the SIM card out (they will even send paperclip to help). Then pack up (they even send tape) and send back.
    You can put your SIM into any other phone that uses SIM cards and use it while yours is getting fixed/replaced.
    Once they get it, it is like a 1 day turn around. Ship, repair/replace, ship back took me just 3 days. Your experience may vary.
    Be sure to really explain the issue. I would even include a note in the box back explaining it in case the service notes the tech writes are not clear enough.
