New iPhone 4 ugly yellow- dark display

Hello,
I recieved my new iPhone 4 yesterday from the applestore and I'm very disappointed because the display is much darker and has a touch yellow. My 3GS display can perform the colours much more better. White is now always grey- yellow and it is oversigning the other colours, too.
Does somebody has also this problem? Are all displays now like this? It I hope not

what the heck do you mean by "The Verizon iPhone 4's have a crappy yellow hue and therefore the display seems dimmer than the AT&T one"
have you even used one? in case you forgot or aren't aware, when the AT&T iPhone 4 came out in july, people were getting messed up displays like this left and right, and people still do. i know because when i got my AT&T iphone 4, i had this same problem. it has nothing to do with the fact that is a verizon iphone. its a defect. my verizon iphone 4 is fine, the display colors are perfect.
dear OP, take it to an apple or verizon store and you will get a replacement.

Today after more than 45 minutes, talking to Apple Web, they decide to send me a new iPhone 4s. Good luck to everyone.

Brand New Iphone 5s Home Screen display defect

Here goes my ordeal with my Iphone 5s upgrade
After waiting in line for over an hour I purchased the Iphone 5s yesterday at Best Buy (Stonebriar, Frisco, TX). Later that evening, I noticed that when the time was 5:36, the home screen display was not showing the digit 6. Instead it showed a blur. I then changed the time manually to 6:36 and then to 6:43 and each time there was a digit 6 the display showed a blur instead. I must note that the phone was sitting in the grass which was a little moist (which I believe was the causing the issue). I immediately went back to the Best Buy location where I purchased the phone and requested a replacement after showing the defect. The store manager wanted me to wait in the line and I refused to do so (they sold me a defective phone so I did not see a reason why I had to go in that line all over again when it was just a replacement!). Anyways, after a tiff with the manager I left that store with my defective phone.
Next day, I went to the Apple store (Willowbend mall, Plano). I was greeted by genteleman at the entrance of the store who nicely asked if he could help. The moment I told him I suspected my new Iphone 5s was defective he said 'What!!' and made an expression of disbilief. Funny! I was asked to go to another peson who was standing and waving his hand further inside the store. I go to him and explain to him the problem and when I try to demonstrate it does not happen! Oh dear! Luckily I had enough screenshots in store and I showed them all to the store clerk. He then tells me that he can take the phone in for me and get it 'repaired'! In disbilief I ask him if he meant 'Replaced'? He says no, they will try to repair it first - he further speculates saying they will try a restore or maybe a front glass replacement and that if they still can't fix it, Apple will then replace the phone. In exasperation I tried to explain to him that the problem happened yesterday and then today it can't doesn't seem to happen, while adding that it is a brand NEW phone I purchased less than 24 hours ago and that I still am under the 14 day time-frame. I explain to him kindly that I would not be able to verify the fix (Apple does a restore or even changes the glass and returns me the phone and I must believe that the problem was fixed?? - Hel No!) and its not so nice to hear from Apple that they can't take responsibility for a defective product. He kindly says sorry and explains that it is policy and that they have to try to repair first. Oh how I wish I could've gotten Apple to sign my policy document for my money...sigh..don't work like that! So I left Apple and ran across to Best Buy mobile store asking for a replacement. The guy says Best Buy mother store and Best Buy Mobile store keep there own stock during holidays and he can't help. Sweet! I drive down 10 miles and go to a different Best Buy 'Mother' store and of course I'm asked to stand in the line. I swallow my pride and become a part of the line. My turn comes and again I explain the problem and of course the Best Buy clerk says 'Did you try a restore?' What!! Anyways, after a bit of reasoning (cribbing) with a couple of Best Buy agents, I was able to get them to replace my Iphone 5s (and of course they didn't have a gold color so I had to settle for the space gray..not a big deal though as long as this one is not defective also!)
So anybody had this display issue? Issue with Apple customer service?

Well they offered to do everything they could to work with you on the device....You are right in saying that the offered what they 'could'. Unfortunately what they could was tied by company policy.
Just like being human there are times things just go wrong- 2 out 2 IPhones 5s in 2 days! I hope people are doing better :-p
You fought against people at the store level who have /zero/ control over policy and had their hands tied by what theri bosses tell them to do. Agreed. I left instead of fighting. Unfortunately they are the first line of support and a manager maybe as far I'd get. Would love to chat with Steve Jobs but I guess now there is only one way for that :-p
They not only rushed you to get service to repair the device but you didn't even do any troubleshooting of your own to try to repair it. Now what if a restore had fixed your issue, you would have kept your device, your color, and what you paid for... - I disagree. If you read my original post, the problem happened the same evening I bought the phone. When I went to Apple I was not able to reproduce the issue. So you tell me how do I verify that restore fixed it? Wait and watch? After 14 days I can't even return the phone. The other speculation made by the rep was changing the glass. I would not try that for obvious reasons.
Why /wouldn't/ you try to repair something before spending your gas/time to replace it the moment something is amiss.
hmmm..
Now the 2nd new phone makes a rattling sound. Something is loose inside..I'd rather spend gas/time and return it than get them 'repair' it or give me a refurbished phone! Why? Because I can at this point and still get a new one with possibly no defects(fingers crossed) or I could find a company that makes better quality products :-p

I have only loaded phone contacts in my new iPhone 5 and my email contacts only on my Macbook Pro with retina display contacts how can I keep them from changing my iPhone to email contacts only when I connect to iTunes please

Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help

To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 has a yellow tinged display?

Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 has a yellow tinged display and the colours look too intense? Just does not look right.

Correction - I HAVE reported the fault to Apple and to my network provider who have informed me that they have received numerous complaints from their customers and are sending out replacements to them and to me. As I hadn't stated what steps I had taken in my original post you shouldn't be so fast to assume what I have or have not done.
Thank you and goodbye.

Oh, look around on this forum. Someone else had the same question and it was answered. It just takes a little time to set and should be fine.

Why are my new iPhone 4S photos not displayed in iPhoto?

I have just started using a new iPhone 4S and have taken photos that will not display in iPhoto. My previous iPhone 3GS worked fine, but now the image files from the new iPhone 4S show as dashed outlined files with the file numbers showing. But when I try to import them, they are indicated as unreadable. What is the problem and what's my next step?

Type "iphone not recognized in itunes" into the search bar at the top of this page by "Support" and read the resulting help articles.

Hi Gazpan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend using the steps in this article to back up your iPhone if possible:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You may also find this advice helpful for your situation:

If you no longer have your iOS device
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Old photos don't load on new iphone, but do display as gray squares

I'm trying to help my mom with a new iphone she got. A couple of months ago my mom bout a new iphone at a sprint store and had the store guy sync all her data from her old iphone. The photos didn't seem to transfer properly though. When you pull up the camera role, all the thumbnails from new pictures she's taken since buying the phone show up and work properly when you click them. But all the photo thumbs from the old phone just show up as grey tiles, and when and when you click on them it just says loading with a spinning wheel indefinitely. Any one ever have this problem?
She had an all her photos stored on her ipad as well, but they have since been deleted, I suspect due to an automatic sync with the phone. Anyone know of a way to get them pack from the ipad side?
It's a iphone 5c running ios 7.1.2
Thanks!

can you see if it works in a new profile.

I purchased a new iPhone and synced all of my apps from my computer. Now my Facebook app isn't displaying my friends under my friends list. If I scroll down below Z it's says that I have 600 friends but I'm not sure why the list is blank. How do I fix?

Try deleting the FB app and reinstalling it. That seems to have fixed the problem for me.

New iPhone 4S displays 3G and connection is slow

It is as the title goes. I just bought a new iPhone 4S from an Apple store to upgrade from an old 3G iPhone.
What is wrong with this? Do I need to go back to the store and make an exchange??

The plan you're on only affects the amount of data you can download each month. It does not affect the speed.
I don't know where you are, but if anything, you should not see a decrease in 3G transfer speeds. In areas where HSPA+ is live, it should be substantially better.
Download the speedtest.net app from the app store (free) and test your speed. In the Cleveland, OH area, I get 8.5 Mbps or better on 3G.
You can try Settings>General>Resets>Reset Network Settings and see if this improves anything.

New iphone screen

I just purchased a replacement iPhone for my old one purchased in July.
The new one has a disgusting screen. It's yellow and far worse quality than my initial phone's.
I know there were 5 and 7 series now. My first was a 5 series and the new ones are all 7's I believe. I also have read about the negative black issue. My blacks seem "ok" (the previous phone was better. The new phone has better build quality but there is no question that the july phone had a FAR better display. Should I exchange? Are they all like this now?

I just bought a new 8GB iPhone to upgrade from my original 4GB model.
My 8GB iPhone display is definitely poor in comparison to my 4GB and they're BOTH "7 Screens".
The new 8GB has a yellow-ish tint to the white areas and the general clarity of icons and graphics are less distinct.
It appears brighter in a bad way and much more washed out. After playing with all the settings and confirming the disparity with others in my household, I am sure the difference is not merely perception.
Also on top of the phone number dial pad, I can see pattern or design details that look like zig zags in the dark blue area. I can NOT see this pattern in the 4GB model. This is the 2nd confirmed difference in displays/screen quality.
Is it a minor detail? Yes. And no. I am concerned about the long-term QUALITY and durability of a potentially defective piece of the iPhone hardware.
For the money spent on the device(s) and services I feel my concerns are warranted and worth mentioning.
Any advice from others out there? I've seen the 5 vs. 7 screen version debates but since both mine are 7's I am unsure what to do next.
Any suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks,
::LL::

Yellow tinted display

Is anyone else still experiencing a yellow tinted display screen after "restoring" to 5A347?
I'm wondering if this problem is isolated to my phone, and it could be exchanged for a new one.

I just exchanged my 3g Black 16 gig iPhone due to a yellowish screen. My new replacement came with the (5A437) version. It is still a bit yellow but now the contrast is off making the text blurry and gray. I have another 3g white 16 gig with the (5A435) version which has no problems. The color is very rich and has deep blacks. I hope the is a way to correct this in the future. Upgrading the version does nothing. This is my 4th replacement phone and I am sick of making trips out to the Apple Store every week.
