Replacement iPhone 4 has very different screen - faulty?

I had to swap my launch day 16gb device (Vodafone UK locked) at the Glasgow Apple store on Saturday as the sleep button had stopped working. Having now viewed my replacement phone against some friends and colleagues ones it's clear that my screen is washed out looking, and even has some faint horizontal lines on it. Is it faulty, and am I entitled to take this back and have it swapped out again?

The yellow spots that people talk about aren't the issue as it's an all over screen problem with regards to it looking "washed out". The temperature of the colours is certainly a lot warmer than the devices of other iPhone 4 owners I know. Although even between them there are obvious differences even with brightness set the same. On mine the white has a yellow/brown tinge to it, whereas the others have a more blue tinge to theirs.
Also on mine there are very visible light spots at the top of the screen too, like the back light isn't uniform across the top edge.
Obviously as I've now been using the phone since Saturday I'm perhaps slightly more used to the colour temperature, but the light spots are a concern and were definitely not present on my first device. The slight noticeable horizontal lines (that are more apparent if you move the device) are a concern too.

My iPhone 4s has a smashed screen how much is an out of warranty replacement

MY iPhone 4s has a cracked screen and is out of warranty how much would Apple charge to replace it

Apple does not repair screens on the 4S. They do on the 5, 5C, 5S, 6 and 6 Plus. For the 4S they replace the phone; the cost is U$149 or equivalent in your currency.

My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging.

My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging. also, the battery runs out unusually fast. I can still receive calls etc and can see a 'backlight' come on behind the black screen when buttons are pressed, but I can not see anything on the screen. I have tried restoring the phone from recovery mode in iTunes but this does not fix the problem. If it were the screen that needs replacing then would the phone get warm?
thanks for your help

Look in the dock and see if you can see any scaly blue-ish stuff. Look in the headphone jack under bright light - can you see anything pink?
Take it to an Apple store. They can help you with a repair. If you take it anywhere else, Apple will not repair your phone if anything goes wrong.

If my iPhone 5 has a cracked screen, can I still trade it in for the iPhone 6?

If my iPhone 5 has a cracked screen, can I still trade it in for the iPhone 6?
I know there is the promotion to trade in for a free iPhone 6, but will Verizon take a cracked phone?
I would hope at the least to still get a discount if not a straight up trade.
Appreciate any info if anyone knows.

You can get an appraisal for your phone here https://www.trade-in.vzw.com/home.php5
I think to get the best price towards an iPhone 6 you have to have the appraisal submitted and new phone ordered by tomorrow (9/30/14) You buy the new phone on contract price then they email you a Verizon gift card after they receive your phone and make the final decisions on how much to give you. (Suppose to take 2 weeks after mailing old phone in)

My iPhone 5c has a broken screen and won't let me swipe. I got a new iPhone 5c, but want my stuff to backup to it. I haven't backed my old one up in over a year because the storage is full. How would I back it up to iCloud on a Dell or Toshiba computer?

Hi Linda Loo Loo,
If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

My Iphone 4 has a cracked screen and has made it impossible for me to unlock my pin. I an giving the phone to a friend but want to know if there is a way I can ensure all my data is wiped off it before I do. Can anyone help? I have upgraded to a iPhone 5 so Im not sure if the old one would have automatically wiped the old phone. I have lots of emails and messages I wouldnt want peo

Have you synced this phone, with iTunes, while the passcode was enabled? If so, plug it in, iTunes running, & hit the Restore button on the Summary Pane. This will also erase the phone.
However, if you have not synced, while the passcode was enabled, you will not be able to do this without first enereting the passcode. If that's the case, try recovery mode:

My iphone 4s has a black screen. If I hold down the on button, it will occasionally flicker and then go black. How do I get it to turn on?

My Iphone 4s has a black screen. If I hold down the ON button, it will occasionally flicker and then go black again.
Is it dead? Is there any way to fix it? It's sitting in a bag of rice right now, a desperate measure.

Are you saying it got water damage? If not what mende1 suggested, or the following

is the way to proceed. If it got wet all bets are off.

Iphone 5c has a black screen, beeps, and won't restore

My iPhone 5c has a black screen. It is charging at the moment, but when it is charging it beeps....constantly... I have tried the home + lock button restoring thing and no apple logo shows up. I don't know what to do HELP!

I said "may" because Apple may determine the fault was due to abuse such as a drop or water damage. I am in no position to say for certain there is warranty on any device except my own.

You may have a bad screen or a loose connection in your phone. Make an appointment to have an Apple Retail Store Genius look at your phone. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
Or call U.S. iPhone technical support: 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) or the number for your country found here: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html

My iphone 4 has a black screen I can recieve calls but cant see anything it wont turn off what can I do?

My Iphone 4 has a black screen it still works I just cant see who Is calling or texting how can I fix this ?

You can actually fix this by posting this in the iPhone forum and NOT an iWeb forum which is for building websites.
Check which forum you are posting in before doing so.

My Verizon iPhone 5 has very slow upload speeds that causes my apps to time out. Is anyone else experiencing this? It only happens on 4g.

Then Restore your iPhone Firmware with iTunes on computer. See if better. If not, talk to Verizon and see if they know of the problem and if there is a fix. If not, then make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Hard Reset: HOld the home button and the sleep/wake button of your iPhone for about 10 to 15 seconds at the same time. Holding down both buttons at the same time till you see the apple appear

How can I transfer some of my iTunes songs from my computer to my husband's iPhone who has a different apple ID.

How can I transfer some of my Itunes songs from my computer to my husband's iphone? He has a different apple ID and every time I do this, my IMac says it will erase and sync. I've checked the manual manage box but no luck.

It says that his computer is authorized, but as soon as I try to transfer anything, I get a message saying that my iphone is already synced with another iTunes library
What does the iPhone have to do with anything?
Don't plug yoru iPhone into his computer.
Do I need my iPhone to do it or can I do it from iMac to iMac? Thanks for any help.
So you have two different computers?
Just enable Home Sharing and he can copy the songs from you iTunes to his then he can sync his iPhone to his iTunes.

Use of SQL Profiles where each schema has very different data distribution and volumes

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.3.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
Our architecture has multiple client schemas in the same database. Each schema has the same code base (tables, procedures etc) but each client's data is very different in terms of volumes and skew/distribution per table. This architecture was done based on cost - I know it's not ideal but it can't change.....
I am fairly seasoned with performance management and so know the usual tricks of when to eat up the table using parallel full table scans etc. I couldn't further optimise a given stmt for our largest table. I'll call it TSPCI and it has monthly partitions (2 years) and totals about 35Gb in the largest client schema.
Anyway, I was surprised when ADDM suggested that I could achieve 98% improvement if I were to use a given SQL Profile. Great?
So, here's my issue - I've found that the same SQL_ID is shared across all those different client schemas: I can't see how to get it to pick/use the SQL Profile in only a particular client schema - let's call it NEX - and not in another (lets call it COL).
If I generate a SQL Profile as NEX, has it analysed and built the SQL Profile based on the NEX schema and is it therefore invalid/undesirable to have that SQL Profile used in the COL schema??
I suppose that I could add a small change (say /*+ NEX */) to the SQL in the NEX schema to make the given sql unique there and then generate a SQL Profile for that..........
What am I missing here?

Well, I can confirm the behaviour: accept a SQL Profile for a given SQL in one schema and verified that it is used in another schema (where the data volume and distribution is very different).
I can also confirm the workaround - simply add a hint to the SQL to make it unique such that I could use different sql profiles for the otherwise exact same sql in different schemas.
I'm happy enough with this workaround but I'll leave this thread unanswered in case someone can suggest a better approach.
