  • What is the temperature limit of the finger to work on iPhone touchscreen? I'm asking this, because I've noticed that when my finger gets too warm (about 104oF) the screen of my iPhone 5 doesn't recognize its touch. Thank you.

    What is the temperature limit of the finger to work on iPhone touchscreen? I'm asking this, because I've noticed that when my finger gets too warm (about 104oF) the screen of my iPhone 5 doesn't recognize its touch. Thank you.

    I understood. Emphasizing that this is still a guess, when you touch the screen it compares your fingerprint at that time to the one you originally recorded. The fact that the finger is warmer may have a small effect on the fingerprint making it appear different than the original colder one. Temperature differences cause things to expand and contract and that may be having an effect on the comparison. You could try recording a fingerprint after doing what you are doing and then see if it will be recognized when you do the same thing to log into the phone. I know that prior to iOS 7.1 for a few minutes after I would wash my hands the phone had difficulty recognizing the fingerprint. Don't know if it was temperature or moisture that caused the temporary change induced by the hand washing. That improved with version 7.1 I think.

  • The screen of my Iphone 4s doesn't work, it seems the display is broken. I've took an insurance when I bought the phone. What should I do to replace it?

    Hi, can someone help me with my questions?

    Contacts and Calendar entries should be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service if using the device as designed.
    Pictures/Videos taken with the device should be copied to the computer regularly, if using the device as designed.
    All media should exist in iTunes on the computer.
    All apps should exist in iTunes on the computer.
    There may be some lost data from apps such as game status, but would you prefer to maintain that data or have a functional device?
    If the issue turns out to be hardware, it is possible to later restore from backup to get put the device back to the same functional state once the hardware is replaced.

  • HT4061 I have an iphone 3gs - the new ios 6.1 (?) upgrade has inabled my phone. I get a white apple on the screen. can't reset phone - doesn't work. what can I do besides take phone into Apple?

    I have an iphone 3gs - yes, an older iphone. 
    This morning apple had a msg that asked if I wanted to upgrade to the new ios 6.1 (?).  I said yes.  Now I can't use my phone.  I've tried hitting the power and other buttons.  I get a white apple on the screen. can't reset phone - doesn't work. what can I do besides take phone into Apple?  This *****!  I realize (now from reading internet) that my phone/system may be uncompatible.  Help!

    I have a 3GS (a true classic design!) and have upgraded it to 6.1 today.  The process did not go without a glitch - it took a few attempts to get the app's to sync but after detecting the ones causing an issue and deleting them it works - so far!  I have had issues about 50% of the numerous times a new OS is uploaded to this phone and always take the new OS with trepidation.  But at least you know there is a 3GS with 6.1 working OK.
    I suggest you do a fresh restart to the phone several times - without it being connected to the computer - to see if it gets its act together and starts.  I think it will.  Hold down the top 'power' button and front round control button until it shuts down - goes blank and dead.  Then press the top power button to re-activate - reboot - it.
    If that does not work then plug into your itunes computer, navigate in iTunes to see your iPhone and hopefully you will be able to sync it or at least 'restore iPhone' from the 'summary' tab.
    If you can not get onto the iphone perhaps you will still be able to sync if in iTunes by going - 'file' - 'devices' - 'sync iphone' or failing that try transfer purchases' and ultimately 'restore from back-up'.
    I had technical problems with my old 3GS (suffered a failed wireless antenna) so I took it to an Apple Store and they issued me with a service-replacement/reconditioned phone for a very modest charge.  So if worst come to the worst get a new phone that way!

  • 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.

  • Last Friday, the broken glass of my iphon g3 replaced. Since then, remains the screen of my iphon regular black. The battery is not empty. By the restart I get my iphon back to life. It always comes back sooner. The last 24 hours 3x. Is there a solution?

    Since Apple doesn't repair iPhones (they replace them) you will have to take it back to whoever "fixed" it. Since it's been opened by an unauthorized 3rd party, it is no longer eligible for replacement by Apple.

  • The screen of my iphone froze, I cant restart the iphone, what am I supposed to do?

    The screen of my iphone froze, I cant restart the iphone, what am I supposed to do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    HDCP is copy protection built into iTunes video content, the Apple TV requires all devices to be HDCP compatible before it will send HDCP content to them. In simplistic terms the Apple TV asks the TV if the signal it will send can be recorded, if it gets the right answer it will send the signal, if it doesn't receive a reply it won't.
    Your problem may be one of unsupported equipment or may simply be an error. You could start by checking if your TV is HDCP compliant. If it is the problem might be cabling or another device (such as a receiver) between the Apple TV and TV, it may also just be a glitch which might be resolved by a simple restart.

    the screen on my iphone is with a colored border on the left corner, what can I do?

    How thick is the border, are you sure it isn't just the edge of the display?
    Try the basics outlined here -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    If that doesn't help, have a Genius take a look at it or contact Apple.

  • The screen on my iPhone 4 turned black while i was using it-it was not dropped or damaged in anyway. The phone itself is still working as it comes up in itunes when I plug the phone into my computer, but the screen is completley black. What can I do?

    The screen on my iPhone has gone black while I was using it. It just "shut off". The phone is still working  as I can hear/see it when it plugs into the computer, but the screen just wont turn on. I've tried the soft reset "holding down home and lock screen" and i've tried to restore settings. I went to the apple store and they said I had to send it to my provider (in another country) but my phone contract has run out.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    If not, is there some way apple can replace the phone? It's less than 2 years old. Surely the screen shouldn't just give out like that.
    Thank you

  • Recently cracked the screen on my iPhone 4. Since my phone contract is already over, is it worth it to wait for the 5s?

    My screen's been cracked (mostly an internal crack, although small parts of the screen have chipped out) for about a week now and it's starting to bug me since it makes it rather hard to use my phone. Basically, I'm having a hard time deciding whether it's worth waiting a month for a phone that will have a few improvements over the iPhone 5.
    I've considered replacing the screen on my iPhone 4 (I actually ordered a replacement screen, but it was the wrong one so chances are it'll be two weeks before I get the right one, so I'd probably just replace the screen and have it as a back up phone, or just return the wrong screen for a refund).
    Anyways, from what I've read it seems like the improvements from between the 5 and 5s are that the 5s will have a faster processor, better camera, and a fingerprint scanner. Considering that I don't lock my phone and I don't have a problem with the speed of my iPhone 4, the only thing I really see myself caring about is the camera.
    I don't want to regret getting the iPhone 5 right before the 5s release, and likewise I don't want to regret putting up with my current phone for another month (possibly more, depending on shipping/out of stock delays) just for it not to be worth it to me. What are your opinions about the situation? I realize it's somewhat of a tricky answer, but I'd like to hear some opinions of those with better experience than me.
    Thanks!

    Apple has not announced any new iPhones ,the terms of use of this forum ban speculation of Apple product plans etc..
    personally I like to have the latest and best
