Ok, I have a unique situation and no one else seems to have ever had this problem. I currently have a iPhone 4s through Verizon. I had an iPhone 3Gs with AT&T up until the 4s came out. I just pulled my 3Gs out of my closet the other day and wanted to get some stuff off of it for nostalgic reasons but I ran into a wall. It wants to activate again. Well, considering I no longer have AT&T service there is no way to activate it. I've tried bypassing the activation screen multiple ways with no luck. I don't need to restore the phone for use, I just want what's on it, so I don't need advice on restoring it. I have no backup of the phone either. Just wondering if there is anyway around the activation block. I could see all the information just fine when I charged the phone the other day, but as soon as I went to go back it up with iTunes it tried to activate itself and that's where I am stuck.
Additional info:(If anyone really wants to know, my real issue is that I want to get the text messages off my old phone. The only way I've found to do thit is with a few different programs, the one I'm using is Decipher TextMessage. What the program requires to see the text messages, however, is an iTunes mobilesync backup. I cannot backup the phone if it is stuck in this activation limbo, unfortunately.
So i bought a motorola photon 4G from ebay 5 days ago and had it shipped here to New Zealand. I'm loving the phone but there are a few problems.
When i first switched on my phone (i got it today) it said contacting network, faor quite a while. I was patient and thought this was becuase it was the first time switching on this device. Then it said it couldn't activate the device (sprint). Fair point, because the network was not setup.
So after a while i was able to setup New Zealand's vodafone settings and got my 3G connection working and had data working too. I then swithced off the phone ad turned it back on again. This time it still could not connect to the network and now my settings don't work. Calls and txts work but my data doesn't... not anymore.
Also is there a way for me to get rid of sprint's activation process when i boot up the phone?
I am running iOS4 on a 3GS. I noticed a strange issue after updating to iOS4. I have three mail accounts: gmail, hotmail, and exchange. When I tap the mail icon from the home screen, it takes me straight into my gmail inbox instead of taking me to the mailboxes page (where the unified inboxes are as well as the separate accounts). I have to tap on my gmail address on the top left hand side to get back to the mailboxes page (the one it was supposed to take me to first).
For ALL iPhone 4 users no matter what network you use ATT, Verizon, etc.By simply holding down the home button about 3-4 seconds when your iPhone 4 is locked, it will activate Voice Command, so anyone can make phone calls without a Passcode!Once Voice Command is active you can say dial...then say some random phone number and call will be placed.I'm not talking about a 911 call, i'm talking about any phone call to any number!
I have an HTC One M8 with Nova Launcher. I am using a PIN lock, but every time that I receive a SMS message, the text opens and my phone is completely unlocked without having to enter the PIN. Any settings that I have missed?
I just realized something interesting with my E72 - people can access my data even without knowing the password.Details are as follows: -E72 firmware 022.007. Both memory and MicroSD card are encrypted. Phone set to auto-lock at every 20 minutes.I have an alternate home screen application installed (Voyager Home Screen) and just noticed that possible to invoke Voyager even after the phone has been "locked" (encrypted). Using Voyager I can load up any file management tool, for instance X-Plorer and access the card and any files.All one has to to is unlock the keyboard, there is no need to know the lock code or input it.Perhaps this has something to do with the way Voyager Home Screen works but it made me realize that perhaps the data isn't secure at all.even with encryption.
strange question, but my school's WiFi network installs a credential which requires a lock screen. I like going without the lock screen, but if I disable the lock screen, when I disconnect from the network, I can't reconnect. Is there any way to fake it out get around it somehow? I also have a nexus 7 2013 and note 10.1 2014 with the same issue with no workaround.
I've had my Xoom for 3 weeks now. It worked okay with no error messages until last week. Everytime I turn it on, it displays this message:The Process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly.Please retry again.Forceclose Report?I have chosen Report and filled that out, but now just hit Forceclose and it resumes and I don't seem to have any problems.
I keep getting this error since the latest update." the process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. try again"it will pretty much pop up when ever, but especially when I try and go to my gallery or try and take a picture or video. It is also even stopping for from doing simple task like letting my alarm clock on my xperia.I have tried to repair my phone through the sony companion but it always comes up with an error with about quater of the way too go.
When I try to use applications such as the camera or music, I receive a screen saying Force Close, "process.android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly, try again" why this has occured and how to rectify?
Since getting the Atrix2 I have had no software issues or Forced Closes.This evening I woke the phone up, slid the Lock Bar to the right and here is what I get:The process com.motorola.process.system has stopped unexpectedly, Please try again,Force Close.Once I push "Force Close I can get the phone to function, however the same screen keeps coming up at random, also each time i slide the Lock Bar, I get the window or warning immediately.It happens consistently when the screen times out and you use the lock bar, slid to the right, and you instantly get the warning screen.I have also tried a few of the programs and when you access them i get the warning window. Anyone have any ideas as to what exactly is going on? No Downloads done today, just email, plume and some music.Ive done several Power Off/on cycles, It doesnt seem to want to go away?
I got a new MacBook Pro several months ago.Up until now, I've always synched my iPhone up with my work computer (PC). My work PC has all of my backups currently on it (with apps, photos, contacts, etc), and I've never attempted connecting my iPhone to my MBP.I'd like to begin using my MBP as the main synching computer, as my MBP has all of my music on it (2000 or so songs). Problem is...my iPhone currently has no music on it...so I can't just backup my current iPhone on my MBP.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any insight on how to properly transition to the MBP being my main synching source?Is there a way to connect my iPhone...transfer everything on it to the MBP's iTunes (minus music), and then transfer songs to the iPhone?
I recently e-mailed my IMEI No. ti AT&T for unlocking my iPhone 4 and I also got the comfirmation stating that I can unlock my iPhone through the procedure.However I was not able to unlock my iPhone then and it has been about a month now Would it be a problem if I go through the process now ? The process involves restoring the iPhone and I am afraid if it doesn't unlock the phone it will upgrade the baseband and I cannot get a Gevey SIM for 5.1.1 in India.
what is the process to separate the two iphones (1. iphone 4) (2.iphone4S). for the contact list and the texting that both phones receive at the same time.
If I decide to return my i4 when it arrives because of signal issues, and purchase another one after sep. 30(if they changed the design). Will AT&T charge another $18 activation fee?
i have a question.. i've just updated my aunt's iphone 4... and when i open it it says that i need a sim card to activate it... the phone is from london.. it has no sim.. what will I do?
My iPhone backup takes around an hour! I'm only using like 6 gigs on it, and I don't know why it would take so long. I have heard tips on how to speed it up, but some said they didn't work on Macs (one in sig) or that they didn't work at all. I think I have all the apps on my iPhone on my MBP, so I don't see how that would be a problem (I got the computer recently and transferred all purchases). I heard the 'Disable Sending Reports to Apple' thing didn't work on Macs. So anyway can anyone share their tips on how to make it faster? I have lost backups before, so I really like to keep everything backed up since things can go wrong fairly easily with hacked iPhones. It's a 3G.

I have:
iPhone 6 16GB
iOS 8.1.1Â
I'm mostly on mobile connection, but it doesn't seem to make any difference with Wi-Fi.
I tried to upgrade my iPhone 6 from iOS 8.1 to 8.1.1 through iTunes, but the phone stuck when upgrading. What's on the screen of the cell phone now is the Apple icon and a process bar below with about 3% finished. The iTunes works fine, showing "updating iPhone software" and the process is stuck at about 30%.Â
Info: iPhone 6, iOS 8.1, stuck when upgrading to ios8.1.1
My mom gave me her iPhone 4 to use as a touch after she deactivated her sim. I did a clean restore because there was an issue with the battery life. I cannot send SMS so is there any legit way to activate Facetime?
Also will the 4.1 patch change the process of activating Facetime for iphone?
So since the iPhone 4 will have a Micro SIM, how will I get my info and stuff off of my current SIM card and put it onto the Micro SIM? I am most likely going to order and have the iPhone 4 shipped to my Apple Store so I can pick it up first thing in the morning. Will the Apple Store be able to transfer the cards, or will I have to go to the ATT store later and have them do it? Also, think ATT would charge me anything for doing it? Thanks Guys.
So, my family decided to all upgrade to the new iPhone. The three of us would all be getting the 16GB, so about $600 for the phones, and then an activation fee (another $100 added to that). Seems like a lot, especially since I noticed that the Online Store would allow us to go without the Activation Fee about two weeks ago...
Also, how would we go about doing this? With the new restriction of only one iPhone per customer, and only one per household, how are we to do this? If all three of us went together, would we be able to get all three iPhones? Would going to an Apple Store help? And if so, is there a way to waive the Activation Fee there? If this can be done without physically going to the store, please let me know. (Older folks don't want to get up and wait just for a phone, but they don't get us Apple folk .)
I thought I would share my experience of trying to get my activation fee waived.Well it took me 3 calls to ATT but I finally got my fee waived as a one time courtesy. My first two calls ended in failure. I was polite yet stern with both reps and told them I think its absurd to charge $36 activation fee on a phone that I activated myself and that I think paying $2000 over two year contract is worthy for them to waive this bogus $36 charge. Both reps talked to supervisors but told me there was no way they could remove the fee because it is a legitimate charge due to a deal they have with apple. They said if it was any other phone but the Iphone they could do it.
At this point i didnt think it was possible to get it waived but I decided to call one more time and try. This time a guy picked up and I asked him if there was anyway they could waive the activation fee. He didnt need to speak to any supervisor and just straight up told me that he understands my complaint and will remove the fee as a one time courtesy. It was so simple and yet it saved me $42 on my first bill. HUGE!So if anyone is having problems trying to get there activation fee waived I suggest to keep calling back until you get a decent rep. SO yeah be persistent and it could save you some money.
