iPhone 5 Camera Horrible Purple Lines Down Pictures!

But parth u told me one of ur friend encountered problem by changing sim card also..and now u r telling it is due to hand cut sim card so exactly what u have to say...

Well jai, i hve continuosly following an apple senior advicer for around a month now and according to him and his engineering team this is definitely something to do with mobile network. They are trying their best and continuosly asking mw question about it. But as they said whatever might b the reason u need to have factory cut sim card then only dey can help us in any manner. I ll suggest u to have a factory cut sim .

So using a factory cut sim card also didnt solve this problem so is it possible that this can be a software issue..

So what is this problem exactly of it is of handcut sim card or its a software problem and it it is a problem of hand cut sim card than u said that your friend had problem after changing sim card also...

Hey parth reply as i am really verry much confused..

On this matter jai i would say u to get factory cut sim card. Regarding the issue apple adviser has not yet confirmed me about it. I clear ur doubts when i am sure of the problem but getting factory cut sim is useful if u r getting those issues still.

Parth than how ur friend got same problem after changing sim also explain me

Jai i am not a software engineer but i would say that its best to get factory cut sim as it vl avoid problems in future also.

And if u r still getting issues dont use camera while on 2G. Thats what my friend does. If u want to contact me further then give ur mobile number to me and i ll whatsapp u about all details i get..

9657898864 add me on whats app..

I cant see u on whatsapp add me i hve msged on the given num

Hi all! I bought my iPhone 5 in January 2013 in India and the same problem persists .Its really rare but highly annoying! Can you tell me if this a hardware issue or a software one as i would really like to have my iPhone replaced.

Hey kevin i also noticing same problem from many days so if u got any solution suggest me pleaseeee..:

Hi Jai,

My findings....

Both of our iPhone 5 units do this on 2G (GPRS) only, if 3G or WiFi is used our cameras are 100% perfect!

We recently went on a two week holiday to Corfu (from UK), thinking that the holiday photos will be a nightmare to take, but guess what, Corfu had little or no 2G but a brilliant strong 3G signal (Cosmote) and we managed to take 100's of photos and tons of video with not one single glitch on any phone! PERFECT!

There is nothing wrong with our cameras themselves, it is a 2G signal problem effecting the use of the cameras.

Your location and signal type & quality is the important factor here.

Reading earlier posts, I was also hoping that upgrading to iOS7 would fix it once back at home.

Well after testing on iOS7, the issue has been improved here but not completely gone.

So far it seems better not worse so upgrading was a positive move me.

I have only seen the intereference when the camera App is minimised on the multitasking screen (double tap of home button) but not using the actual camera app itself yet, it is early days though!

At the moment my work around for this is to use Airplane Mode when I am in poor signal areas.

This is now even easier to do in iOS7 from Control Centre.

Yaa kevin i have also found an issue on 2g not wifi and 3g at all but what we have to do to stop this on 2g or it will remain like this only........

Hi Jai,

I wish I had the real answer, I don't think it is going to change for us.

I think this is a design issue on the iPhone 5, iOS7 may eventually hide it.

Meanwhile Airplane Mode works if you are mostly in 2G areas.

If I drive 1 mile up the road to a 3G area, my problem is also fixed!

It would be interesting to know if the iPhone 5S or 5C also has this 2G issue wouldn't it?

It could be costly to find out that you paid to upgrade to a 5S, only to find it had exactly the same problem.

I would like to think that these newer models are OK???

Kevin.
