What is wrong with my phone if it is discolored like a negative film and has flickering lines?

I dropped my Iphone 4 last week, and when I checked it next the screen had severe discoloration, similar to a negative film affect. When I go to the lock screen it is a white screen with flickering horizontal lines on it. On my main screen there are also some lines at the top. I have tried resetting and restoring it and that did not help. And I have also looked at setting to see if that was why my screen was negative, and that was not the problem. Does anyone know what may be wrong with my phone?
When i take a screenshot the normal colors comes back for a second or so and then go away

What's wrong is most likely you broke it.
Take it to the Apple Store along with your credit card. An out of warranty replacement will cost you US$149.

  • What is wrong with my phone?

    In October I dropped my phone down the toilet, this was sent off to be fixed which cost me £100. After it was fixed I had no problems with it at all. In December I managed to drop my phone on the pavement and the screen smashed, apart from a crack in the corner the phone was otherwise fine and I had no issues with it. I decided that it would be time to get the screen fixed, so the other week I gave it to a friend of a friend to fix it. Now my phone looks brand new, but it doesn't work. The screen on my phone constantly shakes and it is very distracting and makes my phone impossible to use. Another issue is that I can see small red lines all over the screen. The camera is the worst effected, and shakes violently when I attempt to use it. The man who fixed it recommended that I back up everything on my phone and reset it, which I have just done. Unfortunately it will no longer turn on, even though I know it has full charge. It will vibrate and make sounds whilst on charge but will not turn on.
    Does anybody know what is wrong with my phone, and what I can do to atleast turn it on. The man can't look at it until the weekend, but I desperately need my phone to work asap.
    Thanks.

    not sure who you sent it off the first time to have your phone fixed, but looks like your friend's friend, might have damage your phone when they repaired the screen.
    Send it back to them and have them fix it.
    Since you took it to a 3rd party to fix your phone, Apple won't touch it.
    YOu might be lucky and be able to buy an out of warranty 4S at the Apple store.

    my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?

    I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed.  So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

    Hello there, SamanthaYikwai.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some basic steps to try for reinstalling an app:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
    Reinstall the app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
    Delete the app.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store and download the app again.
    Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
    If the download stops, you can resume it.
    If the issue persists, then you may want to try and sync the application to your iOS device using  your computer by following the information in this article, under the section "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC":
    Download past purchases

    I have a recently acquired iphone 4s and despite having good hearing and the volume up to max can barely hear who ever I am speaking to. WHat is wrong with the phone?

    The plastic cover was removed before I left the store and I have moved the volume up and down during, before and after phone calls. Have tried it in protective case and out of it. Impossible to hear calls unless phone is on speaker. There seems to be lots of comments re this. Is it a significant flaw? Can I fix it?

  • What is wrong with my phone if the battery life is draining while the phone is in the lock position?

    Last night my phone just started getting extremely dim and I had it on the brightest setting. It was so dim you had to look at it under a light just to see what was on the screen. It then proceeded to lock down. I plugged it in but it would not charge. Finally, after almost an hour of being plugged in it finally started charging. It is acting completely normal except that it is constantly warm and the battery life keeps draining even when it is not in use. Does anyone know what is wrong with it? Can it be fixed? Normally, how much would this cost me? Your help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Your phone is probably broken.

  • On my iphone 4s I got a scratch on it,then about a month later there are verticle lines and a high pitch noise til it is done focusing. What's wrong with my phone?

    Hello
    Okay so I have had my Iphone for almost an entire year and there's a problem. I have gotten a scratch a scratch about a month ago on the back camera. It's at the very bottom. I've gotten used to it so it doesn't bother me. Well ever since like a week ago my camera gets colorful lines that are verticle and go away when it's focused. Not to mention the high pitch noise while it focuses with the lines. I'm getting irritated with it. Mainly what's is wrong with my phone?! Also how much is the cost?

    Since we can't examine your phone, we really have no idea what is wrong.  Why don't you make an appointment at your local Genius Bar and get the phone examined and what your options are moving forward.

  • What is wrong with their phones??????

    Can not get thru when I call customer no service.  The one time I did get thru the guy hung up on me!  No one can seem to answer my question why they have my account listed as a business account.  I've never had a business account.  I tried using the chat feature and that i**ot kept saying nothing was wrong with their phones.  Seriously wish there were other options in my area, I'd cancel my service completely

    There is an open thread on this topic here: http://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Customer-Service/Did-you-get-DISCONNECTED-or-can-t-reach-Comcast-by-phone/td-p/2441768/jump-to/first-unread-message

  • HT4528 i droped my iphone and a day later it will not turn on  r charge but it was fine after worders what is wrong with my phone

    You dropped it. That's what's wrong with it.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

  • What's wrong with my phone? It keeps on restarting

    Whats wrong with phone? I actually accidentally dropped it and after that it started to restart and restart again. Plus the censor is not working too. The censor only works when I'm on my bbm and it won't work when It's at home screen. Besides, whenever this happens, my hang phone button won't be working when other buttons are functioning well. I guess it's my keypad problem. Anyone has a better idea of what's happenings?

    I have no idea what your warranty terms are...that's a contract between you and the seller of the device. BlackBerry extends certain warranty coverage through the resellers, but the resellers are free to do different things...so you must check your specific warranty coverage documents. Further, when they evaluate it, if they find signs of the physical damage and/or the fall, they may well deem your warranty as void. But, again, I have no way to know what they will find and decide when they evaluate it.
