IPhone :: The Rubber Bumper That Goes Around The Edge Of 4 Is Splitting?
Jun 30, 2012
The rubber bumper that goes around the edge of my iphone4 is splitting. This is the bumper apple gave me in leu of replacing my phone due to antenna problems.
When I send SMS to some people in my contacts, they report that they will recieve the main message, and one more message after that with the last word from the main message. Example: If I send the message: Hey how's it going dude? Wanna meet up for some some drinks and get crazy?
The message will arrive like this:
(Message 1)
Hey how's it going dude? Wanna meet up for some some drinks and get
(Message 2)
crazy?
The messages I send are usually well under the 160 character limit for CDMA networks. as anyone else experienced this? I called Sprint and they said they know nothing of it, and that I should contact Apple about it. Possibly a phone reset might fix it I think, but just curious if anyone else has had this happen. Most people don't care, but a few of my friends don't have unlimited SMS or are on pre-paid plans.
After updating my Sprint iPhone 4S to 5.1, every text message I send that is >= 80 characters gets split into two texts, often with just the last word in the second text. The outgoing text sound plays twice when this happens. I have comfirmed this with multiple people including myself and it is extemely annoying.
My BB 8520's (IMEI 358472.03.890910.6) rubber lining is of poor quality. Hence the volume button and shortcut buttons on the side have peeled off and other parts of the lining are also tearing off. This is a manufacturing defect. I have checked on google and have seen that there are lot of people complaining of the same problem.
I own a two Blackberry 8520. Almost 1.25 year i bought it. Both mobile has crossed 1year warranty. In Both set the rubber buttons started to fade off... The volume, Voice dialing button is faded off completely with the Cam button on the sides.When I called Redington India Ltd Jaipur & Delhi they told the rubber panel has to be replaced completely and they need to send the phone to Banglore ( Min 10 days of time) and it would cost WOOPING 2500Rs just to replace the rubber coat on the phone! What I would like to know is
1. Why 10 days of service time?
2. If I sell my phone I wouldn't even get 2500Rs now and the repair costs WOOPING 2500rs just to replace the rubber panel on the phone. Is it the right cost given to me?
3. Can the service be done within few hours or 1 or 2 days?( Since its just replacing the rubber panel)
4. Why is the quality of Blackberry 8520 not up to BlackBerry standards? The buttons just fade off what ever is done! Sir. Spending 2500rs for one mobie is very expensive just for the rubber panel.
5. The total cost for both mobile is around Rs 5,000. It is very expensive because in both sets body (front & Back) is OK but rubber panel was fade off.
6. Having such a reputed company the quality of buttons is so poor. Is this a manufacturing Defect?
My phone is in warranty and mute button rubber is peeling of from blackberry curve 8520 Let me know can i replace it from service centre as it is in warranty if not then is rubber cover available outside?
I have a HS -500 blue tooth on which I lost the rubber ear piece and broke the plastic ear loop holder. I have gone to several cell phone stores, contacted blackberry directly and have gone on web sites. i cannot find anyone who sell these spare parts. I can't believe that an 80$ blue tooth has been rendered useless because of this.
I could not find a rubber cover/case. I bought the plastic hard rubber item that is fake paint that looks like rubber and scrapes off real easy. The plastic underneath is white so it looks like crap after a few weeks.
I lost the little eloastomeric (EPDM, BUNA?) cover for the micro USB port. SE support says replacements are unavailable. I'm sure there were millions of the components molded at the OEM manufacturer. Anyone know where to get Sony Ericsson parts?
Trust me, you won't. If you paid for a bumper you will get a refund. If you also ordered a bumper or case with the case app, that will either be cancelled or you will be charged for it.
Do you really think that Apple can't cross-reference these things to determine what you're actually entitled to? And SHAME on those who are bragging about how they are getting more than one, as if Apple wants them to have it.
I will be getting the iPhone sometime as I need to save up a couple more weeks. So then I get no free bumper? I don't understand why apple is not giving free?
I haven't been able to find much in the way of impressions or pictures. Wondering if it docks with the bumper on, and if not, then how easy is it to take on/off. Is it bothersome to have it on?
Some people are salivating at the thought of getting a free bumper from Apple. Others think that the bumper is and ugly and wouldn't want it even if free. Some say the real problem has nothing to do with the antenna- it is the proximity sensor. What do you REALLY want from Apple?
So if I get a bumper, what color should I get?I really like the blue color, but is that too girly? I just think that color looks the best with the black iPhone.
I received the email below last night at 11:15 CDT. I was actually hoping I would have a choice between receiving a refund or getting another one for free. However, it appears they are automatically processing refunds on prior purchases.
The email:
Dear Apple Customer,
Apple recently announced that iPhone 4 customers who purchased an iPhone 4 Bumper are eligible for a full refund.
As of today, we have automatically processed your refund.
For all you iphone users, how long did it take for your free bumper case to arrive? My phone is butt naked and im freaking out whenever people oggle it. The iphone bumper app said it would take 1-3 weeks for the case that I want to ship out.
I am thinking about getting Apples bumper case, but wanted to see what else other people are getting.What is yalls opinion on the bumper case? Enough protection?
Im curious how much actual protection the bumper provides against drops, my guess is not much. but if you have had an experience or have read of one somewhere else,
I've called around to all the nearby Apple stores and checked with my local AT&T store, no one has the bumpers in stock. Do you guys think I'll have luck within the next couple of days if I check with the stores each morning? Ordering on Apple.com has a 5-7 day wait and I'm hoping not to have to wait that long, because I am having some antenna issues and I'm deathly afraid of dropping the thing.
After paying double the price to get my hands on a bumper case (I just wanted some PROTECTION quickly), it seems as though the bumper case can scoot up and down just BARELY.
