Unexplainable Screen Problems for my iPhone 3G

I have had my phone for more than a year. The other day I woke up to use it and in the upper right corner there was a series of dots on the screen. (I did not drop the phone recently, I did drop it a couple of times a couple of months prior, but at least 4 months from a drop and this problem). I tried to power-off and restart. When I did, in addition to the dots there was a line streaking from right to left about a 1/4 inc. long. I used the phone a usual for the rest of the day. Overnight the battery died and I recharged it. When the power came back on, I had the dots, the line and another line. After two more days, I have four lines and the series of dots.
Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone know the cause? And most importantly, does anyone know how to fix it?
Thank you.

thanks for your answer brad, you know, i tried restored the firmware, but, itunes, showed me a windows with error 1015, then i looked for a older release , and i download it to my iphone, and everything is the same than before. I made the reset, and then i tried with the restor.
If you think that may be, i can use a firmware in particular please let me know.
And if the problem is the digitalizer... you think that with the firmaware upgrade everything must work fine?
thanks again

  • Is there any problem for my iphone's battery to keep my charger connecting for few hours after the battery is full?

    s there any problem for my iphone's battery to keep my charger connecting for few hours after the battery is full?
    Sometimes i sleep and the my iphone is charging and of course the battery became full after two or three hours, and definitely i will not wake up in the midnight to just disconnect the charger, please i need your help.

    This is considered normal use. I think everybody does this, including myself. It's not something to worry about in the least bit.
    Just remember to complete a full charge cycle (allow the phone's battery to discharge to 10%-20%, then charge uninterruped to 100%) once a month and you'll be fine.

  • Should I use a screen protector for an iPhone 6 Plus?

    I just bought an iPhone 6 Plus and can't decide if I want/need a screen protector on it. I take great care of my phones and do not set it carelessly down on any surface.

    Yes.
    We were going without for the first time, and after only 2 weekes,  my wife just showed me a hairline scratch on hers.  She says it could not possibly have happened, but it did.
    I just ordered screen protectors for both of ours.

  • Do u  need a screen protector for the Iphone

    I know it might be a stupid question but alot of my friends have the Iphone 4 and they say they dont need a screen protector because the screen doesnt scratch like other smartphone and phone screens. Anyone know if this is true?
    Eric   

    I use all my devices naked. Screen protectors detract from my enjoyment. But if you're worried, try one and see if you can live with it. 
    The glass is really strong. I've had my iPad for eight months and it doesn't have a scratch on it. Granted, that device is babied more than a phone, not shoved in a pocket.
    Be sure to follow Apple's directions for cleaning the screen. Cleaning it too often can break down the oils that protect the glass.

  • Is it necessary to have a screen protector for the iphone 5?

    does it help protect the screen because it affects the resolution when it exists....

    I'm note sure I quite agree with tonefox, but taking his point, it may or may not be necassary for you. While I do not have one - nor feel I need one - for my iPad, I certainly do have on on my iPhone. I've seen the conditions of all of my cell phones at the end of a two year contract. Scratched like they have been on the bad end of a cat fight. So I got an Otterbox Commuter for the phone, which included the screen protector. Even if I eventually choose to go commando with the phone in terms of a case (and I might), I'll keep a screen protector on it.
    BTW: a decent screen protector should NOT effect the resolution of the screen. That's typically a sign of an inferior one.

  • Stop motion chroma screen problem for multi frames

    I am trying to use green screen for stop motion movies and I do know how to set it for each frame but how do you get all the frames to accept a single back ground picture at once? I have to insert the effect one at a time into each frame. I cannot use "select all" and then insert...the option will only work on single frames which for hundreds of frames is very time consumming. Is there a batch frames work around?
    Thanks
    Kevin

    Just remember that doing the Paste Attributes will add ALL the effects from the copied clip to ALL of the selected clips. Any effects already applied to those clips will still remain expect for Adjust, Motion or Opacity keyframes, those will be overwritten.
    Best to practice on one or two clips to see what the results will be before doing a large group of them.

  • How i can recover my home screen password for my iphone

    I have an Iphone 4 for my daughter and it is locked and dont remember the password to get in.  Can someone help me please?

    If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone from backup on the last computer it was synced with... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.
