Strange spot on iPhone 5s screen

Such spot appeared out of the blue. I tried rebooting iPhone but problem still persists. After 3h in turned off state spot seems to shrink, but i still want to know what causes it and is it dangerous to use my phone?

Looks like a pixel issue - hardware problem - probably not dangerous but I would take it to an Apple store if there is one within reach

  • Yellow Spots on iPhone 5 screen

    Hi everyone.
    As you can see from the picture, there's a faint yellow spots on the iPhone screen. The phone was purchased in December but the spots didn't appear until yesterday. I've resetted the phone using iTunes and basically ruled out this is a software issue.
    I know I need to have the phone serviced if I want it fixed. But the problem is I purchased the phone from the Apple Store in Hongkong and I''m currently in the Philippines. I don't know someone currently in Hongkong to send my phone to. I just wanna ask if someone had the same experience and what they did to fix their phone. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    you havent gotten a answer ;-; well your having a very very mini kernel panic thats all

  • Brown Spots on Iphone 4 Screen

    I have recently observed some brown spots on my iphone screen. I have searched on the internet what is the cause and I found out that Iphone 4S has some what similar problem and it has something to do with some adhesive that they use. But my Iphone 4 is now older that 1 year and it is not covered under warranty. The phone was in perfect condition and no other wear/tear or any sort of damage. I was wondering whether is there anything that apple could do to rectify this problem? And how much would it cost to repair such an issue. In addition, I would be really greatful if someone could tell me whether is it a digitizer fault or the LCD display fault?
    Thanks a lot
    Best Regards

    An out of warranty exchange is $149

  • Light spot on iphone 6 screen

    Hello Friends,

  • Dim Spot on iPhone's screen

    Hello everyone,
    I have an iPhone 3G 8GB which I bought 6 months ago from Cyprus. After 3 months of using it, a dark dim spot appeared in the middle of my screen. No, it's not a dead pixel, I did a deep research for it. Anyway, I sent it back to them in Cyprus so they can fix it, they kept it 2 weeks and then they gave it to me back without even opening it and see the problem. After many hours there I pushed them to send it to Apple. They sent it to Greece as they told me where there is an Apple Store. After they sent it back again, they gave me a paper which they wrote on it "The dim spot as our customer said, doesn't make any problem to the phone of using it etc." By the way, you can see the dim spot very clear on gray color and dark colors but not on black. At the end.. I'm here now without any support from Apple.
    Please help me solve my problem.
    Regards,
    Jim.

    What's really weird is that when I first got home with my new iPhone on 6/29, I too noticed a yellow spot on the bottom left of my screen...obviously more noticeable on a white background. I was ready to take it back...but then after using the phone for the first day...the yellow spot went away. All of a sudden the yesterday 7/29...4 weeks later, a yellow spot appeared in the same exact spot...and by the end of the day it was gone again! (insert Twilight Zone theme here) Hmmmm...wonder if this will occur again on 8/29...haha!
    Wait and see if yours disappears...and if it doesn't, I'd exchange it.

  • Strange lines on iPhone 4 screen

    Basically, I grabbed my phone this morning and the screen was strange. Colour saturation was off, and it looked very low-resolution. Then a few moments later, a whole bunch of white and multi-coloured bars appeared on the screen. I can still operate the phone, only I have no visual representation of what I'm pressing; thus I'm going in blind. Looking to fix this issue as soon as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards.

    RESTART
    To restart your iOS Device, first turn the device off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and device will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn the device on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears and then let go of the button and wait for the device to turn back on.
    Is the device not responding? To reset device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the slider and let go of both buttons and wait for the device to restart.  No data will be lost.
    If nothing changes make an appointment at an Apple store and have the phone assessed

  • I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture?

    I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture? has anyone got any ideas as to what the problem is, is it self-repairable or even repairable at al?

    The LCD Display connector has partially come loose from the logic board connector, and simply needs to be pressed back down into place. Or the front screen assembly is now faulty, and needs to be replaced again.

  • IPhone 4S screen rotates strangely in email app

    iPhone 4S screen rotates strangely in email app.
    The top-most status bar rotates (which shows the...
    Signal reception, time, etc.)
    But the rest of screen does not rotate. (Email body)

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Strange spot in pictures, Strange spots in pictures

    Hi all,
    I noticed that my iPhone camera takes pictures with some strange spots. Please see the attached picture. It should be a white wall.
    I already tried to clean the back of the iPhone and I'm also sure that it isn't a problem of the screen/display because I don't see the spost with other Apps.
    What could be the proble?
    Thanks
    Luca

    Restore with iTunes on computer is the most thorough. It will reset everthing to Factory Specifications so you can determine if this is a software error, and it will be fixed right then with the Restore. After Restore, if still problem it is very highly probable hardware error, and this will be covered by Warranty. Restore from device only is not as thorough and can leave faulty data and settings on iPhone which may be causing the problem, so Restore with iTunes on computer.

  • Dead Spot-Top of the Screen (With: Maps - Stocks - Clock - Safari - iPod)

    Dead Spot-Top of the Screen
    I see some problems with the bottom of the screen but here the problem is with the top of the screen.
    I can't use some part of this Applications, I don't know why, I already reset and restore the iPhone some times, and there is no change.
    Maps - I can't type any direction on the search field.
    Stocks - I can't select the first stock on the list.
    Clock - World Clock - Edit - I can't select the Done button.
    Safari - When the Phone is horizontal I can't select the Add Bookmark or the Back button.
    iPod - When the Phone is horizontal I can't select the play button.
    Please let me know how can I fixed or how can I change my iPhone, I'm working in McAllen Texas and the only Apple Store near to here is the one that is in San Antonio, so its like 3 hours driving, what can I do?

    If they try and make u pay for a loaner phone, be insistant that they give u one free of charge! I had to send mine in for repairs, but talked them out of the $30 loaner phone fee..only makes sense that we shouldn't have to pay! cheers

  • Strange orange lightspot on the screen?

    Hello, I purchased xperia z3 from a local retailer about two months ago and everything has worked just as expected. But about two weeks ago I noticed a little, strange orange lightspot on the screen above the charging/USB port, on the upper left corner, And now its getting bigger and bigger and I dont have no idea what it is? I know it is on the screen, but where did it come from, there is no way that I made this damage because i had a cover on it since the day one and I have held it properly (not dropping etc.) so i think it is a manufacturing defect and I am going to take my phone to repair service tomorrow, because this fault is clearly on the screen. Just wondering that does anyone have similiar problem with their xperia?

    Yes i have this exactly the same on my Z1.
    But before you send it out for repair,try this out
    Open all flaps > Go install AnTuTu Benchmark and run "System Stability" for a few times.
    One possibility of the yellow-orange spot is the glue inside your phone maybe leaked or anything like it(but it does connected with the glue).So the reason you run "System Stability" is to deliberately increase your phone temperature and to vapourise the glue.
    And i even tested my phone underwater to see if its still waterproof and it does!!
    For reference,here's the post :

    Hope you too can solve it this way

  • An inportant question about the iPhone 5 screen!

    Not sure if i grasped the concept of the new iPhone 5 screen but from what i understood is that the glass screen n the sensors which detect the touch of ur fingers have been integrated into one screen allowing for a thinner phone, the only problem is that if ur glass were to crack, would that render the touch sensors useless? In the first 4 models if the screen cracked all was well and u only had to worry about the spot of cracked screen n the sensors n screen were fine...now im worried that the sensors and even the screen might b affected...thanx in advance
    PS: Im also to understan that the new glass on the phone is superior in resistance than older models but in sure it doesnt make it invinsible

    The previous phones were like this
    ----------- Glass
    ----------- Touch Sensors
    ----------- Pixels
    Now, the iPhone 5 is that way
    ----------- Glass
    ----------- Pixels & Touch Sensors
