Quarter-screen issue on iPhone 4S

I just picked up my 4S from the store yesterday and noticed that when launching Chu Chu Rockets, the game only takes up a quarter of the screen (the bottom left corner) with one exception: the "Welcome back, $NAME" banner from Game Center does go across the entire length of the screen as if the game was showing normally in full-screen. This is the only app I have where this quarter-screen thing happens. Trying to find a solution with Google shows that this is a very common problem with jailbroken phones running iOS 5, but seeing as I haven't jailbroken my phone, their solutions are useless.
Has this happened to anyone else with a stock, non-jailbroken 4S?

Yes! Thank god you posted, you're the only other person I found who has the same problem.
I, too, have a stock iPhone 4S, never jailbroken, 11 days old.
For me, the only app that had this problem was the phone app; it occurred today. I solved the problem by closing the phone app and ending the multitask. It hasn't occurred since, but I was perplexed by it happening.
I sure hope it isn't another bug of the iPhone 4S! :/

White screen issue on iPhone 4S?

Recently when I tried to use my iPhone the screen just turned completely white. I have no idea why. The screen is still functional in that if I receive a call, I'm still able to swipe to pick it up. I even tried a hard reset by holding the power and home button for 10 seconds and the screen shut down, but when it restarted the screen was still white.
I tried connecting the phone to my computer, but I'm not able to even back it up because the phone is locked with a passcode. I'm currently trying to let the battery die naturally and then I'll try recharging it.
Has anyone ran into this issue or have any fixes?

EDIT: Connecting phone to charger yields only a dark gray screen.

IPhone 6 screen issue?

Has anyone had screen issues with iPhone 6... As far as the screen going black/dark? Mine will get black/dark on the left side only at least once a week. It slow dissipate away and go back to normal after about 3days.

Even showing where the screen was doing this prior to the cracked screen? I could see if I didn't have evidence of the screen going black prior to cracking it this morning. All because I was trying to get screaming toddler into daycare! But really? As long as we've been customers of Verizon, I am extremely disappointed in this service. I am going to talk with my husband about going to AT&T because this is absolutely ridiculous! We pay way more than we believe is far for our service and being such loyal customers and this is the service we receive. My husband was a customer of Alltel many, many years prior to Verizon taking over and if it wasn't for me he would have left a long time ago. I do believe it is time to switch providers. I will be sure to pass this email as well as making others whom have your service aware of how long term customers are treated. And I will talk them out of purchasing any of your products due to this. I have already talked my boss out of buying a 128gb iPhone 6 plus! On top of the fact that we have NEVER EVER filed a claim for any of our products!!

Sorry for my English! thank you in advance!

Iphone Screen Issues

I've heard reports that people buying the Iphone lately have been having screen issues with them including issues with dark images similar to the Ipod touch. I want to buy an Iphone, so is there anything I can look for to make sure I get a good one?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When I am on a call and I bring the iPhone to my ear, the screen goes black. That is the proper operation of the iPhone. When I take the iPhone away from my face, the iPhone is supposed to detect that and turn the screen back on.
Are you saying your screen is not coming back on at all?
Try resetting your iPhone, or if not, restoring it. If that continues to happen, it may be time to contact Apple.

Iphone 4s screen issue

I bought a new screen for my iphone 4S because the original cracked. I replaced the screen using UTube detailed instructions. However when i turned the phone back on, only half of the screen appears. The phone seems to be functioning fine other than I can't view the whole screen.

Check your work. Carefully reconnect the LCD connector to the Logic Board. Return faulty front screen assembly and get new one.

The screen on my Iphone 5 keeps freezing even after restoring factory settings and downloading latest update.

Hi
The screen on my Iphone 5 is consistently freezing. I have restored the factory settings but that didn't work. I have downloaded the latest apple update. Not sure what else to do or if it is a known issue? It happens on any screen, even the lock screen and the only way to unfreeze it is to press the top button to switch to sleep mode then click the round button and enter in my pin again. Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Restore the phone as new, and do not restore anything from a backup.
If the phone still doesn't work properly, you will need to bring it to an Apple store to be evaluated as it most likely has a hardware issue.

My own Battery Drain Issues on iPhone 5

Hello guys, I've just created an account here to share my many issues with iPhone 5.
Well, this wasn't my Apple's 1st product, as I've had Ipod touch 2g and 3g, as well as an iPhone 3g. But it's my first time experiencing crazy battery issues with an Apple product, wich is really sad and disappoint, since this is the MOST expensive cell phone in my country (Brazil).
It all started about a week after I bought my iPhone 5. One morning I was on the bus, going to work, and my iPhone had about 99% battery remaining. 1h20 later, when I arrived at work, I had about 80% battery, so I panicked.
Suddenly I realized I was a victim of the common i5 battery drain. I was loosing 1% battery each 3~5 minutes IN STAND BY. And my settings are the same as they've ever been: wi-fi off, 3G off, 4G off (since it's not available in Brazil), brightness on minimum, no weak cell phone coverage etc. So, I shouldn't be experiencing this at all.
After reading lots of threads around the web, I realized that the ONLY solution to this would RESET AND START YOUR IPHONE AS A NEW ONE. No backups, no deleting apps and data. Sometimes removing email accounts would work, but as I didn't use this stuff, restarting my phone seemed to be the solution.
So I did it and, apparently, my problems were solved. My phone has worked perfectly for 2+ months. And then I let it fully discharge - but it's was not the first time it' happened. After I recharged for 4h, I started loosing battery really fast again, so the battery drain have came back. It was so frustrating.
Then I sent my iphone to an authorized reseller and they manage to give me a new replacement phone. They've checked my old i5 and detected a battery issue. My charger and cable were also tested but they were ok.
Well, after the very first charge on my new phone - and I've set it up as a new phone - the battery drain started again. I couldn't believe it.
So now I'm waiting for my 3rd iphone 5 in 3 months...
PS: My original iPhone 5 was bought in the USA, and the replacement one came from Brazil. Both were running iOS 6.1.4 when the issues started.
After all that, here are my conclusions:
1) In normal conditions, with wi-fi, 3G and LTE off, you should expect your iPhone 5 to waste 1% of battery every 1h30~2h15 on STANDBY. This is based on my best iphone performance and on Apple's information: iPhone 5 should have 225h of battery time (in standby) at it's best. Since 100% = 225h, every 2h15min you should expect to "waste" 1% of battery, on standby.
Sometimes, overnight, your phone might have an even better battery life: my friend only lost 1% for about 8h/9h overnight. But this is just not common. Expect to loose about 2%~3% every night with all apps closed and no wifi/3G/LTE.
2) If you detect a battery drain, GO TO AN APPLE STORE/RESELLER RIGHT THE WAY. Don't even bother trying a reset, as I did, because it might solve the problem for a while, but it CAN come back. Go to the apple store and ask for a diagnostic of your phone and battery. It will save you a lot of time.
3) There are MANY causes to battery drains. The most common ones seem to be: 1- Push notifications/email related stuff -> Reset email, internet and settings. 2- Facebook app -> reinstall app. 3- Defective battery - go to apple store/genius and ask for a replacement phone.
4) If an iPhone comes from factory with battery issues, expect AT LEAST ONE other issue. My original phone's touch screen was unresponsive when charging on PC and connect to iTunes and my replacement phone's microphone was not working properly. So expect other defective parts
5) With my experience, I've realized I might have discovered A NEW CAUSE TO BATTERY DRAIN: A DEFECTIVE NANO-SIM CARD. Why? Well, because it's the only thing that I have used on both my iPhones (original and replacement ones). And it's the only thing thats has never been tested (both my charger and cable were tested on apple's reseller and were ok). And in my replacement phone, after I removed the SIM, I started loosing 1% battery every 1h20, when on stand by and with no wi-fi, 3G or LTE. So, if you have a battery issue CONSIDER THE SIM CARD TO BE THE PROBLEM.
Also, when my replacement phone was near any amplifier/pc speaker, it would make the amp make that "call or text incoming" sound. (to understand this, put your phone near an amplifier/speaker and ask for someone to call you). This makes me believe that the SIM card was, somehow, defective and making my phone receiving data (and I mean only telephone data, like related to calls and sms) when it shouldn't.
That's all my friends. If anyone has ever experienced this crazy issues, please try to help me. I'm getting a new sim card, iOS7 and my 3rd replacement phone and let's see if it works as it should.
Sorry for the MANY mistakes, my English is not good =\.
Cheers from Brazil!

Hi Folks,
iPhone & iPad2 battery drain issue SOLVED!!!!!
I had a serious battery drain problem on THREE devices using different iOS .... it was a simple fix and had certain characteristics that you may be able to relate to ......
Devices;     16GB iPhone 4 with IOS6
                  16GB iPhone 4S with iOS7.06
                  32G iPad2 with iOS7.04
On or about Feb. 28th all three devices started to drain the battery like crazy losing about 20%/hour on the iPhones and 10%/hour on the iPad2 .... After messing around with settings, browsing forums and looking at what was common between the three devices I concluded the problem was with a single Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail email account in the iOS native mail app .... I deleted the email account on all three devices (along with other unrelated Microsoft accounts on each device) and did a hard reboot (hold HOME and top LOCK button simultaniously for about 10 seconds until the apple logo appeared).
I then re-created the common Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail account on all three devices in the iOS native mail app ...... SUCCESS! Now all three devices are behaving normaly with respect to battery drain ......
Hopefully this will be useful to others in this thread ..........

HT4528 My screen on my iphone 4 is not working.

My screen on my iphone 4 is not working. Even after I plug it up to Itunes it still doesn't work. What should I do? Is it a hardware issue? My phone is not under warranty anymore.

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart, usually about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still problem, Restore iPhone with iTunes 10.7 or 11 on computer. If still problem, make sure Front Screen Connectors to Logic Board are seated correctly. If still problem, replace front screen assembly. If you decide to take to Apple, it is $149 for perfect replacement iPhone 4 exactly like yours, Apple does not do Screen repairs on iPhone 4 they offer replacement iPhone.

There are white squares on my screen at the top. Apple care is telling me I'm out of warranty. This seems like an Apple LCD screen issue. The problem seems to be widespread. How is apple dealing with this. apple care told me it would cost me 260.00

Apple should be fixing this problem for free. It is a hardware issue. Check the Web. A lot of your customers are having the same problem. If I have to spend money to fix this I will be choosing a different cell phone provider

That the problem has happened to someone else, or even to a couple of dozen people, does not make it a "widespread problem". Apple has sold millions of iPhones, so even if hundreds have experienced the problem that's still a very small failure rate.
Your iPhone is out of warranty, so you will need to pay for service. If Apple finds this to be a screen issue, in many Apple Stores they can replace the screen for US $149. If it's not a screen issue or your local Apple Store can not yet replace the screen, then Apple replaces the entire iPhone. Those are their policies, and complaining about it, particular here in these user-to-user forums, will accomplish nothing.
You are free to pay some unauthorized shop to attempt repair, or attempt your own repair, if you wish, though you will void any further support from Apple, for any price, if you do.
There is nothing more anyone here can tell you.
Regards.

HT5882 How to take screen shot on iphone 5s?

How to take screen shot on iphone 5s?

No offense poster, but come on. I'm not one to tell people to "google it" as a response to a question but if told the same correct answer 4 times, you're phone's either broken or you're not trying. This reminds me of my dad asking me to set up his iTunes for the 50th time because he doesn't get the learning is doing thing/me pointing him in the right direction then figuring it out.
ANYWAY. Far more interesting question. An a-hole sold me a 32 gb iPhone 5 on craigslist and said the volume down button is the only thing that doesn't work. Of course, shoot me for using craigslist, but it's riddled with issues. One being I'm a huge screenshot take and the top bottom is dodgy and either works or doesn't. So. Whenever I need to screenshot, I actually do go to Siri because sometimes the top button isn't functioning. I turned assist ice touch on and can do it like that but then I got into looking at gestures and actions and wondering if there's a cooler way to maybe peform a gesture that takes a screenshot.

HT3302 The very bottom of the touch screen on my iPhone does not respond to touch. When the touch screen fails, is is expensive to replace?

Recently, the bottom edge of the touch screen on my iPhone stopped responding to touch. I have gone through all of your hints and tips in the service information pages to see if there was a DIY solution. The little 'dots' which indicate water damage are white. I checked those in case someone else had caused water damage to my phone, as I do not live alone. The home button works fine, the non-functioning area of the screen prevents me from using all functions for which the screen will not revolve to the side when the phone is tipped. Texting is a nightmare, as I have to keep turning the phone to access certain alphnumeric icons on the keyboard. Is this a common problem with the iPhone 4? Is is expensive to repair?

Before you claim the hardware failed, try basic troubleshooting as described in the User's Guide of reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).
If none of these resolve the issue, Apple offers and Out of Warranty replacement for $149US.

"List updated" screen on my iPhone and asking me to Accept or Cancel. Does anyone get this?

Has anyone ever got this screen on their iphone before? I get it occasionally but have no idea what's causing it.

Hmm interesting theory...I do press undo a lot, but only because I'm trying to get a good-looking brushstroke down, usually I don't even actively lock a layer as a step during my session because they've already been locked previously and I don't need to lock/unlock them often. The thing that is frustrating is that I will try to make a stroke, and can't because the symbol pops up...then I'll make the exact same intended stroke again and then it will work fine. It's pretty haphazard but basically every other stroke or every few strokes, it'll pop up.
I think I'm beginning to almost accept this rhythm in my workflow
I'm using CS6, and I noticed that I don't have this problem when I bring the file to work on at my job (CS5) or at school (CC).
Edit: I tried to test your theory by drawing as much as I could without pressing undo...I was pleasantly surprised to not run into any issues with the paintbrush, but sure enough, as soon as I switched from the paint brush to the eraser, and tried to erase something I just drew, the eraser popped up with the "prohibited" symbol.
