Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?

Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?
And By hard boot I mean holding the home and power button down at the same time for 10 seconds or whatever
I see other people have these grainy flash photographs if you try to take a picture in darkness the picture comes out very dark and grainy I thought the software would ultimately fix this but it's been going on for over a year I usually take my photographs in daylight but I need this to be fixed
If it is a hardware issue I hope Apple will replace my iPhone 5 because I was just waiting for one of the iOS updates to fix it I bought my phone in November 2012 its the iPhone 5
Please help or advise if you can was this just a software or hardware issue I know Apple was aware of it but I was advised that iOS update would fix it but obviously not
Is it safe to do a hard boot on my iPhone five by holding the power and home button at the same time for 10 or 20 seconds I saw someone said that fixed there's at least temporarily
I'm typing this on my iPhone five right now why do the words go off to the left and right no matter if I hold the phone vertical or horizontal the words bleed off to left right so for me to proofread it I have to move my text left to right to proof read it
Thank you

The flash on a smartphone camera is tiny. It only lights up a very small area right in front of the camera. It won't light up the whole scene.
Have you seen the size of the flash on a professional camera? Even they can't light a whole scene in the dark.
Fact is, a smartphone camera is not capable of taking good photos in the dark, even with the flash.
You'll need to buy and learn how to use a professional, dedicated SLR camera to be able to take good photos in the dark. It is not easy.

    Why does my IPhone loss WIFI connection when I leave the room? When other mobile devices stay connected?
    I can not send text messages to other IPhones if I do not have wifi or 3G on, the texts are sent as emails.

    Hey Linders1987,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are experiencing issues with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 5. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1398
    Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including
    - previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    - recently used Bluetooth accessories
    - VPN and APN settings

  • HT5824 Why does my iPhone require 27 hours to backup to the iCloud??????????????

    Why does my iPhone 5 require 27 hours to backup to the iCloud???????

    It depends on your upload speed which is normally very slow.
    Subsequent backup should be a lot faster (incremental backup)

  • Why does my iphone take so long to turn back on when the battery runs out?

    Ok, granted, I am guilty of not always plugging my iphone in when it gives me the low battery warning. But why does it take SOOOO long to get enough charge to turn back on? If apple is taking suggestions, then my suggestion is that you should just be able to plug it in and it should be ready to use within a minute, like other cell phones. I've had my battery die mid phone call, and then had to wait for it to get enough charge to call back. I know its maybe only about 5-7 minutes but that seems like forever to return a dropped call. Does this happen to anyone else or is something wrong with my phone? Any suggestions?

    Apple set the default to 10 minutes before you can use the iPhone. After 2 minutes you'll get an image of the low battery. It's in the iPhone Users Guide, page 49.

  • Why does my iPhone 3gs keep getting kicked off of the internet?

    When I start going onto the internet page the page comes on then as I amreading it it goes to black and back to the home page for the iphone.
    Why does this happen?

    Mine does that too. I was wondering if it was due to the OS and that sometimes its too much for the 3GS. I've had mine almost 3 years.  Maybe someone more knowledgeable will help. :)
    (i finally upgraded to the iPhone 5 so I'm looking forward to that!)

  • Why does my iPhone 5c have a red light on the top of it

    my iPhone 5c has a red light on the top of it next to the speaker but it is only visible at night, it's really scary

    It's the proximity sensor.

  • Why does my iPhone take forever to turn on?

    Recently my iPhone 4S (iOS 5.0.1) takes at least 10 minutes to power on after the battery dies.  Sometimes up to 30 minutes.  Any idea what could be causing this?  Obviously I'll do a full restore if I have to, but trying to avoid that if possible.  My phone is NOT jailbroken either.  Thanks!

    First, it is not good for the battery to run it into the ground -- don't do that often if you expect it to last.  When this happens, the phone needs to build up enough charge to boot up safely, which probably explains the 10 minute delay.

  • Why does my iPhone 4s stall when I turn on the sleep/wake button and how do I fix it

    I was just wondering why my iPhone 4s stalls when I press the
    Sleep/wake button? And how do I fix it?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Why does my iPhone give me a message chime at the same time everyday?

    For the last week, my iPhone 4 gives me a message chime everyday at the same time, 10:41 PM.  Yet, there are no notifications, messages, badge icons, or calendar dates.  I have no idea why it keeps doing this?  Has anybody else come across this issue?  If anybody can help out a guy who is fairly new to the iPhone it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Nope, I've gone through the Clock, Reminders App and through my Notifications and I can't seem to find anything that has a notification for that time.  I was wondering if it was something with my Cellular Network Carrier?

  • Why does my iphone print ok when I am near the printer but will not print from other locations?

    Just got a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 and everything works except that I cannot print from my iphone when I am not at home.  It works fine when I am near the printer.  It doesn't even show my printer when I try to print from a location other than at home.

    Hi ADPROP,
    The Airprint feature (direct printing from your iPhone) provide print functionality over the local network only.
    You may install the HP ePrint Home & Biz app.
    By enabling the ePrint feature for your printer, you may add the printer ePrint address within Settings > Manage ePrinters, then you will be able to print remotely through the app.
    You may find more information of the app features below:

  • HT4623 why does my iphone 4 keep showing no service in the top left corner ?

    have tried restoring it many times, also changing micro sims of different networks and same result....this happened after software update date and got a message through itunes saying ...congratulations your phone has been unlocked !!

    Was the phone hacked to unlock it before you performed the restore and got it unlocked?

  • Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "Cannot take photo" there is not enough available storage to take a photo, etc? I have it hooked up to ICloud and the cameral roll???

    Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "cannot take photo" there's not enough storage, but I have my phone/camera roll hooked up to Icloud and have purchased additional storage???

    iCloud storage has nothing to do with remaining memory on the phone - only memory for backups and Photostream.  The photo has to first be stored on the phone and copies sent to iCloud.  If there is not enough available memory on the phone, the photo can't be taken.
    To determine the remaining memory on the phone:
    Settings > General > Usage > Storage
    The Camera Roll is meant for temporary storage of photos, which should be imported to an app on your computer and deleted from Camera Roll.  You can then sync back those photos which you want to keep on the phone.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?
