3GS Display question
Hi, I just bought 3GS 3.1.3 locked and noticed that when iPhone is off, display is "edged" with 1mm thick, from both sides gray lines. Also, when turning on the iPhone and when the "Connect to iTunes screen prompts" I noticed that picture displays only inside that "edged" space. When I JB the phone in the near future (hoping so), will this disappear or it is some kind of a iPhone failure? Thank you in advance.

If the problem is hardware :-( locked or JB....the problem will persist.
Good luck.
As it turns out the iPhone LCDs have a very small non useable border around the edge of the LCD. In most cases this is black or dark gray. However, under the right lighting conditions - intense ambient light - this border can become lighter gray or even white. Combine this with polarized lenses and you get a nice white border in this area of non usable LCD space.
I have tried this test on iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS and they all respond the same way - yes... regardless of cell carrier.
I will be tearing into some LCDs in the next week to see if there is anything that is causing the reflectivity / refraction effect.
