Has anyone returned their phone to Best Buy and avoided the restocking fee a buddy is looking todo this but I wasn't sure bc he sensor issue, blurs on his photos with blue boxes and antenna issue even with a 3/4 case it still drops calls.
View 12 RepliesI have a two day old IP4 with very obvious prox sensor defect. Can I return it with no restocking fee since it is a defective phone, and AT&T wont replace it?
Side story, I called the store yesterday and asked if they had stock to do an exchange, and the guy here in Phoenix, was like hold on, I'll check with my manager. He tells me the manager has to check with somebody else, and a day later, I still don't hear anything. So I go to the store and the guy is not there, but the manager is, and he has no idea WTF I am talking about, and says under no terms will they swap out a phone. I have an online order that couldn't be cancelled so when I get that phone, I will return the IP4 and the $35 case I bought with it.
One of my family members bought the iPhone from an AT&T store on June 29th. They now want a white iPhone, is there a charge to return or do you get a full refund within 30 days?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI though I would create a thread for those who buy iPhones via craigslist, eBay, or HoFo They are a few ways to verify what version and if it can be unlocked. Please add if you find anything incorrect or have one of you own.
1. iPhone 3GS are the only models that have Voice Control. Verify this by holding down the home phone to activate it.
2. Know the Apple's website to verify the serial #. This will tell you what version it is. Have the link saved in your pc or smartphone. Calling Apple will take too long
3. As of this post, 3.1.2 and 5.11.07 can be unlocked. modem firmware 5.12.01 cannot at this time. 3.1.3 can be downgraded to 3.1.2, but not the Modem Firmware to 5.11.07. If it really could be done, someone would be doing it and charging alot of $$ to do it.
4. Not sure if this is the case with the new jailbreak, but 3GS model with the 3rd to 5th serial number at or above 940 are mostly likely the tethered jailbreak type. This have been the case from my experiences
5. Verify the size of the phone by going to Settings, General, About. There are times where the back has been changed to represent a different size.
6. Look at the LCD in the light. If you see horizontal lines, the screen may have been replaced. Also replacements don't get as bright as the original LCDs. In my area there are plenty of ads and more stores opening that repair iphones
7. If the buyer is claiming that the phone is unlockable, but it's on the connect to ITunes screen, chances are it's not.
8. Dual Sim iPhones and Mini iPhone are not legit
9. Verify no water damage has occurred by looking at the indicators in the headphone and USB Port.
I travelled to Colombia recently and in general, had my phone either turned off, or on airplane mode the entire trip. I only used it for one five minute phone call and to listen to music for about five hours accumulated. I was there for about 8 days.
I was told to put the phone on airplane mode, so as to avoid any roaming charges, as my fellow travel companions (who all also owned iPhones), said "that way nothing comes through. No wi-fi, messages, nothing".

My iPhone 3gs is stuck in that mode where I can't get pass the white Apple logo even after several hard reboots (holding down the power and bottom center button. After a reboot the white apple logo appears and then it just goes away.I figured out how to get the phone to into recovery mode so that iTunes can do a restore, but I am getting the message that says "Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone to its factory settings" All of your media and other data will be erased and the newest version of the iPhone software will be installed.
Is there any way to do a restore without allowing my iPhone's software to be upgraded to the newest version of iPhone software? I have 3.0 and want to keep it because I use my phone to tether. During the restore phase is there a way to cancel the portion of it that attempts to upgrade my software to the latest software?
I own a BB Torch 9800. It used to be for personal use only, but recently my service provider has activated BB Enterprise and my company IT department has synchronized my corporate email on it.Everything works well, except for the fact that I have now a 'keystore password' that locks my screen every 30 minutes and I need to enter a password to unlock.In the password setup, the tick mark to enable/disable is locked so I cannot turn it off. And the lock frequency is max 30 minutes.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have read all the problems with the lollipop update, and have been trying to avoid the update. My phone has now downloaded the update but not installed it. Each time I switch on I get a reminder that the update needs installing which I ignore. I would like to try and find the update and delete it from the phone, but I don't know where it is located or what it is called. I have disabled all the update options so if I can get rid of this file, no more reminders that it needs to be installed.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am sick of rebuilding my iphone 4 every 6 weeks: setting up as a new phone, installing the apps again, reconfiguring them, rearranging them how I like them.It's a pain in the behind and a very good advertisement for Android at the moment.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?It's to the point now that I call each build as "My iPhone (build YYYYMMDD)". So today's fresh install underway is Build 20120324. The last one was 20120214.The best Apple "support" could offer was to rebuild as a new iPhone each time.So, with "Other" growing in 6 weeks from <1GB to 5.3 today (when it filled my phone's memory), is there any way to stop this?

I have a e72, and I'm trying to avoid some programs from loading in boot stage, since I see that when booting the system has 53MB or RAM, but then it's decreasing to 40MB because some programs are opening.
For most of programs, even if I disable "AutoStart" it would still load and close, which is taking RAM!!!I'm trying a way to edit manually the "startup list" as I would do in Windows by entering msconfig...
I've tried to clear the folders C:Private101f875a and C:Private100059C9 which contains both a kind of a startup list, but programs are still starting up!! And I have no idea where is that STARTING LIST?
After searching forums and finding nothing except how to avoid or block unknown callers, I can't find an answer to my problem.

View 13 Replies View RelatedHi! Does anyone know of a way to get voicemail recorded directly on the phone? Say somebody calls you and your phone is on but you don't answer, the phone records the message to the memory? I know my old Sanyo phone could do it, but can the Nokia 6275i or any phone for that matter? Thanks!
View 10 Replies View RelatedRegarding a problem with password on my 9700 Bold:
I have had a four digit Phone Lock on it for months, always the same, was operating the phone the same as usual one night, and the next morning, it wouldn't accept the Lock Code.
Entered the Password 7/8 times, then thought I had no choice but to let it reset itself, entered in the same Code, and it accepted it.
I didn't want to go through that again, so I went to Password Settings to remove the Password requirement, and it started all over again, not accepting the Same Password with which I had just unlocked the phone!
Fortunately, I have Backed up my phone in case it did get Wiped, but I would have lost some info that had been entered in between Backups, so I hoped I could get this resolved With Out the phone needing a Factory Reset.
The 9700 asked me to enter "blackberry", and I noticed that there was a tendency for the letters to jump to Upper Case quicker than I was accustomed to seeing it do.
As I have been writing this, I remembered that I had changed the Cursor Speed to Fast, so now I'm going to type in the password as quickly as I can, so I can be as certain as possible that it goes in as 'lower case' only, which, because of the characters being immediately changed to ****, I could not detect before.
Problem Solved!
I just breathed a Huge sigh of relief.
The phone has now been set back to the Original Cursor Rate, and the Phone Lock has been removed.
Security is important in case the phone is misplaced, so I set the SIM Card Lock instead, and at least if the Password gets messed up again, I can get a PUK Code from at&t, and unlock the phone that way, without the risk of wiping out all my contact information, calendar dates, and other personal settings.
I hope this information might be helpful to someone else, and I'm looking forward to learning more on this site.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI own a blackberry 9700 since 2 yrs. I tried for the first time to save my device data on my computer by using the BB Desktop Software. To connect my cell phone and my PC, I had to provide a "password". I typed my device password and then my SIM Card pin #, without any luck. An alert message indicated that this was my last chance to enter the right code, and if I don"t, all my device data would be merely erased.
I also cannot access anymore to my cell phone as long as I don't provide with this "mysterious" password. The point is also that I switched off my device. If turn it on, I will have to type the word "blackberry" first, and then the said password will be requested: at this step is it the SIM card PIN # or necessarily the device password?
I didn't use my cell phone for several weeks since that time, so scared to do a wrong thing. When I just tried to reload the battery, I saw the phone doing like a "reset". Then I took off the battery to stop the process. Did I do something wrong? Is it now too late to get back my data?
