Light leak ear speaker Verizon iPhone

I have a small light leak under my ear speaker it's a line of light from top to bottem. And it's like on the right side of the speaker. Should I be concerned? Or does anyone else have this problem?

I seriously doubt that the factory applied screen protector or dust is the cause. My Apple unlocked 4s ear speaker just failed recently and there is widespread reports of this issue all over the web. Apple seems suspiciously mum on the matter. Mine goes back!
Tammy, based on my online research thus far, it seems that this is an issue Apple has yet to correct. My personal opinion is that it isn't worth investing in until they fix the problem. There are great options with Android and Windows devices from Nokia.

Does your hand moisture damage ear speaker on iPhone ? No rude comments just a question?

does your hand moisture damage ear speaker on iPhone like of you have moisture on your hand and you touch the ear speaker will it damage it you know ?

There are many who use earphones while exercising. My son uses his at his gym. They are about an year old and seem to work fine. The older "open" style headphones may have an issue though, because the exposed grill in the older headphones has a larger surface area. Salt deposits can cause problems for electronics, in general.

IPhone keeps dying, not turning on, hot near ear speaker, red light glowing

After having used the iPhone 4 without problems since its release last month, I am now experiencing a bug since I've installed iOS 4.0.1. The symptoms are:
1. I can see a dim red light above the ear speaker after turning on the phone and even for a while (many seconds if not minutes) after locking it. I suspect that this red light is related to the proximity sensor.
2. The proximity sensor is not working any more, i.e. when I make a phone call and hold the phone to my head, the display stays on and the pad keeps sensing touches.
3. For the second time within two days, the phone doesn't turn on any more, i.e. it remains black on the screen, does not appear on USB (i.e. not seen in iTunes nor in System Profiler), and doesn't even respond to a hard reset (holding home and lock buttons for about 10 seconds), while the aforementioned red light keeps glowing, and the area there getting warm.
So far, the only way to get the phone back to being operational is to get it into DFU mode (which involves a more complex set of pressing buttons) and then restore it from a backup. Unfortunately, when I do this I lose all the pictures I've made since the last backup (already lost a few this way).
It appears that this problem is related to a wrongdoing of the proximity sensory unit. Funny though, that I had never any problems before the 4.0.1 update, whereas this update was supposed to fix a proximity sensor issue, wasn't it? For me, this update appears to rather have broken it.
I'll see that I can have this phone replaced by Apple soon, just though I'd record this odd behavior in case others see this happening, too.
If you have the same issue, please mention if it started only after the 4.0.1 update for you, too.

That little red light means the phone has water damage, did you drop it in water or something?
Um not, there isn't a "light" for water sensors, they are stickers that just change color from white to red/pink. No electricity about them. One in doc, one in headphone jack (not under earpiece).
He is seeing a sensor (it doesn't turn on and glow, just reflecting light and has always been there).

Does the iPhone 5 'light leak' affect function?

I just recently received my white iPhone 5, and I have a small light leak near the power button along the bezel. Does this affect the function of the phone, such as the screen brightness? And Would Verizon replace it?

There may be a possibility it could affect the function but not likely. I would call Apple and report it though as they may replace it, Verizon would send you straight to Apple. Being that this is still such a new product they like to capture new products with hardware problems.

IPhone 4 ear speaker not working after 2 restores and cleaning the headphone socket.

Hi,
I know this problem is not uncommon, but here goes...
I have an iPhone 4 which was running iOS 5.1.1 a few days ago when the ear speaker stopped working. I cant hear the other person when I make or recieve a call, but nothing else is wrong with the phone. It is 18 months old.
I've searched the discussions and seen some of the suggestions. I tried cleaning out the headphone socket, with no luck. I then tried a full restore and update to iOS 6. This appeared to have worked. I tried 2 calls and I could hear the other person. I then left the phone alone for a couple of hours and when I tried it again, it had stopped working again.
I have since done another full restore but the speaker is still not working at all. The fact that it worked after the first restore suggests it's something simple or software related but I have no idea what else to try other than getting it repaired in a shop. The problem is I am in Japan where my network (Softbank) and an independent repair shop have both quoted me the equivalent of $176 / £110 to fix it.
Does anyone know anything else I can try before I give in and end up shelling out this ridiculous cost for something that is probably a 20 minute fix?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have the exact same problem with my ear speaker after my IOS 6 upgrade. My speakers work, bluetooth works, the earphones work, but the ear speaker doesn’t work. I noticed this IMMEDIATELY after the upgrade was completed. I also have the following problems:
-Very slow call connect time. 30 - 45 seconds just to connect is typical. Signal strength is 5 bars (ATT)
-Problems attaching to known networks
-Very slow internet browsing with many timeouts on both the ATT 3G service and known Wi-Fi networks.
- My camera was missing after the IOS 6 upgrade. I restored that from Restrictions inside of the Settings App
- Music was so screwed up it was easier to just restore it
I went to the Apple store hoping to get some support. Between my wife, my son, and myself we have purchased 4 iPhones and an iPad over the last few years with plans to purchase another iPad in a month or so. So it’s not like I' not familiar with Apple Technology and their typical level of support.
The individual who waited on me was rude and condescending. He insisted that all of the problems were hardware related or ATT’s fault, or my fault. He further asserted that IOS 6 had NOTHING to do with any of the problems. I pointed out that it would be quite a coincidence for my hardware to break, for ATT to have network problems, and for me to suddenly forget how to use an iPhone at the same exact moment that IOS 6 had been installed. He maintained his position and offered to sell me another phone.
I don’t expect the folks in the store to reprogram the OS. Mistakes happen. I’m going to guess that Apple’s OS programmers are already working on a fix for many of the IOS 6 complaints that are easy to find on Google. Assigning blame to the customer and denying any responsibility is not a model for success or customer service. I’m sure Apple wouldn’t accept that kind of excuse from their component manufacturers and don’t think it is how they should deal with their customers. Further, Apple wants to own the device. They want to control the apps, the OS, battery, the delivery channel. I’m good with that so long as when there is a problem, they own that as well.
And BTW… I’m not including the maps in my list of issues with IOS 6 because I kind of like the new maps and am willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt. I believe that their map service will get a lot better in a hurry.

IPhone 4 ear speaker not working

Looking for more info regarding this problem..
Purchased iPhone 4 for my wife and I last month.
My iPhone ear-speaker went dead, but the external speaker, plug-in wired ear-phones work, and mic still work.
I went to take it in, and then the darn thing started working again. lol Same thing happened early this week - not working, then it started working again.
Now my wife's iPhone 4 is starting to do the same thing. argh!
Not really sure if it's hardware or software.. but anyone else on this forum experiencing this same problem?

Yes. My Bluetooth on my iPhone 4 is enabled (to sync with my car).
But my wife's iPhone 4's Bluetooth is not.
I Googled this "ear-speaker problem" and found a few other reports, but no solutions (on Apple support forums).
Just wondering if the people of this forum encountered the same thing.. thanks for your fast reply !

I have light leaking from the right top corner of my iPhone 5.is it a problem or a major thing. Is there anyone, who hasn't got this problem?

I noticed light leaking from the top right corner of my new iPhone 5 from a small area. I noticed first, when I changed the brightness to higher and when I changed back the light was still there.

Personally I would take it to the Apple Store cause the iPhone is still under warranty. You should try your carrier first if your not near an Apple Store and then go from there based on what help or lack of help they provide.
Best of luck.

IPhone 5 YouTube sound is coming through Ear-Speaker (Not from main speaker).

I’m using Safari and Chrome to watch YouTube videos, but this morning I realize that sound is very low, later I realized that sound is coming through ear-speaker and main speaker is not working for YouTube media. Any advice?!?
Everything else is working perfect, music, ringtone, alarm all sounds coming through main speaker but all safari and chrome media is using Ear-Speaker. Really frustrating, I really think that buying iPhone5 was mistake.

I Have a similar problem occurred on my iPhone 5 , after install iOS 8 I can hear by ear speaker but the mic didn't work also volume bottoms didon't work,
my ear speaker still new in a good condition.

Iphone 5s had white light leaks on lcd after unlocked with touch id

My iphone 5s had white light leaks on lcd after unlocked with touch id. It's a bit confusing because if I unlock with passcode, there's no white light leaks. Does anyone have the same issue? What should I do?

Title: Burst of White Light on iPhone 5S and iPhone 6
Description:
On unlocking the device with Touch ID a burst of white light is produced from the Top Left/Right corners of the screen.
It happens when more than two folders are created i.e three/four folders each having some applications and the phone is locked while on the same screen.
If no folder or maximum two folders are created then no such burst is produced when unlocking with Touch ID.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure Touch ID
2. Use Black/Dark wallpaper on Home & Lock Screen.
3. Create minimum four folders either on the home screen or the second having some applications in each.
4. Being on Home Screen lock the phone.
5. Unlock with Touch ID and a Burst of White Light will appear on Top Left/Right Corner.
6. Now move/drag two of the folders to the other second page.
7. Go back to Home Screen and lock the phone.
8. Unlock with Touch ID and there is no Burst of White Light.
OR
Repeat step 1 and 2 as listed above.
1. Go to the second screen (after home screen) and create three or four folders with applications in it.
2. Lock the iPhone while on the same screen.
3. Unlock with Touch ID and there is a Burst of White Light.
4. Now drag or remove the folders with only two left.
5. Lock the iPhone while on the same screen.
6. Unlock with Touch ID and there is no Burst of White Light.
NOTE: If iPhone is LOCKED and UNLOCKED when on the screen with no folders NO WHITE BURST is there.
Problem Since:
Burst of White Light when apps added to a folder and unlocked with Touch ID. This is noticed since the update iOS 7.0.6 [11B651]
Devices:
The burst of light on iPhone 5s is easily recognized but on iPhone 6 its for a fraction of a second. Not checked on iPhone 6+.

Light leak iphone 5

Dear all iPhone 5 users!
I am very happy I bought the iPhone 5 on launch day. To be precise I got the white 32 GB version. Just after 2 days I started to notice that there was light leaking between the sleep button and the display. I have read some articles on the net and it seems only white iPhone 5’s are having this problem. You might think it’s a cosmetic flaw… but I am worried. It means there is a ‘gap’ between the unibody and the display. A gap means it’s also susceptible for moisture and damp (i.e. keeping device in pants).
I went to the apple store (Amsterdam) and the didn’t have any new iPhone 5’s in stock so I got a iPhone 5 replacement unit that looked like refurbished unit. The service was excellent but when I got home the leak was also present in this swapped device. It seems like it’s a wide spread issue.
Anybody have this problem?
Thanks,
D

Hi all,

Iphone 4 dead, red light above the speaker

hey, my iphone suddenly died yesterday. i was texting, browsing normally and couple of minutes later it was dead (battery was almost full). i tried hard reseting it, connecting it to my mba and nothing, itunes doesnt even recognize it. couple of hours later i saw this red light above the speaker and after some googleing i found this discussion
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16706124#16706124
where it says that the red light means my iphone was damaged by water. the only thing i dont get here is HOW since i havent dropped it, nor used it outside in the rain haha. i am kind of confused because i dont know if its dead or not. right now it's resting in a zip bag full of rice but i dont get it. could someone help me? thanx
i mean, its an iphone 4, ive been using it for years and this is the first time this happens, battery works great, phone works great i dont wanna change it. the only good thing is that it's helping with my addiction to internet hahhaa, first 20hours were baaaaad. thank you

Hey there lildl110,
Let's get that iPhone 4 to cool down. It sounds like the phone overheated and needed a bit of a rest. Is it still too hot to touch? If you've given it some time to cool down please try the restart method,http://vz.to/1ciOvXw.
