OCD or fault?

Just a quick "survey" for my fellow iPhone owners out there

I have noticed that my replacement iPhone has an uneven screen that I have not noticed on my previous 3-4 iPhones. If I run my finger from left to right, to unlock it for example, my finger gets caught on the bezel and is actually quite sharp.

The screen on the right hand side is about 2mm lower than on the left which is causing this problem and I would just like to hear from you guys before I ring up and try and get the problem solved.

So is yours even or uneven?

Thanks

RobJackson85 · 21-08-2009, 8:58 PM

doesn't sound like OCD sounds like a dud unit!!!

I have that problem! ive got an original 2G iphone and when i make calls it sometimes gets caught on my stubble which is a pain! doesnt happen anymore-it might have evened out but I can still feel it if i run to the edge of the silver bevel and its not aligned exactly to the screen.

a l e x · 22-08-2009, 12:00 PM

Hmm never noticed! The left hand side of my screen is about 1mm-2mm higher then the bezel!

*UEF* · 22-08-2009, 12:23 PM

You've had 3-4 iPhones? (is that 3 OR 4?)

philip birdi · 22-08-2009, 4:06 PM

Thought id do a search about dead/stuck pixels on iphones because people on here dont seem to mention them much, i have had them on the iphones i have had and after i search on the internet there were loads of people who have the same problems even with the ipod touch,so its nice to know its not just me saying theres a problem with the iphones/ipod touch,what screens are apple using?cheap quality screens if you ask me

,paying £450 for an iphone you should have a perfect screen imo

I know LCD screens can suffer with dead/stuck pixels but every iphone i have had has had them

had no problems with my lcd tv's,psp,ds,laptop etc

Some Plasma display panels worth thousands have dead pixels.

Which wouldn't be acceptable.

a l e x · 22-08-2009, 4:28 PM

Ive got dead pixels, dust under the screen and now it appears one side of my screen is 2mm higher then the other! Screw been fussy, next time I can get to an apple store ill be taking it in!

philip birdi · 22-08-2009, 4:47 PM

I absolutely love the iPhone but it just those really annoying dead pixels i keep seeing that are the problem

Just for anyone that cares (Philip :P), I have received my replacement today but I'm not a happy bunny!

The replacement seems to be rather on the large side, it barely fits into my slider and feather and it's currently stuck inside the slider. Needless to say i'll be back on the blower to Apple asap and get one in retail packaging rather than these obviously flawed replacement units.

The "flawed" replacement units are just the same as the ones in retail packaging. Are you sure your not just imagining it?!

I vote OCD

Tom` · 05-09-2009, 5:12 PM

Haha, I can assure you that I am not imagining it!

I have a 3G one and my replacement next to me, the 3G slides in and out of the Incase slider relatively easily just like every other 3GS I have had. However the one I have now requires force to get in, and once in the case does not want to come out. It's the same for the feather, it does not sit properly in the case.

I haven't a clue what's wrong, there's no screen protectors on the phone, no InvisibleSHIELD or anything of the sort.

The only difference between them is that on the replacement, the join between the chrome and the plastic around the sides is not flush which may be causing the problem

philip birdi · 07-09-2009, 7:28 PM

UPDATE

Received yet another iphone replacement today...

Light leakage

Dust under screen

Dead pixel on edge of screen

UN

BELIEVABLE !!!

Well when I speak to apple and say should I be seeing light showing through sides of iPhone?they say no you shouldn't see any light so these iPhones I have had are definately faulty,same with dust and dead pixels,just google these problems I'm having and you will see loads of people are having the same problems
