I recently replaced a lost iphone. Just after jailbreaking the new iphone at home, it crashed and would not boot again. I was forced to restore to 3.1.3 because I had just jailbroken and did not back my phone up. What are ways people have returned their iphones for an exchange? I want to try and get another 3.1.2 iphone this weekend before they are all gone.
View 8 RepliesI need help clarifying return procedure. It late and I can't call ATT, hoping someone in similar situation could help me. I bought the phone from ATT in-store. I had it exchange from Apple, the replacement still have the reception problem along with new problems. Can I return the phone? It have a different serial number now and I still have my genius bar replacement confirmation paper.
Also this phone was an add in line, so if I return the phone does this mean I lose the number? I would like to keep this line. Just returning the phone until everything get better then I rebuy.
I 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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have just recently updated my iPhone from a pretty old version, and thought I had my contacts backed up in either iTunes or at least with Google from using their sync feature in the past. After updating I have none of my contacts and when I select to use iCloud, no contacts appear. I have also tried resetting everything to see if it then comes in.
Any tips on ways in which I can get my contacts back?

Right now we use Blackberry's at work, but when I get the iPhone 4 I would rather just use that to get my work email if I can. I know my Exchange email address (it's just user@exchange.company.com versus my normal @company.com email address) but I have a couple questions:Does Exchange allow IT depts. to lock down Exchange to approved decives/device IDs?We have to change passwords every month or so, but I never have to do anything on my Blackberry to keep getting email pushed - how does Echange handle that? Would I have to just update my password every time it changes?Just looking for experience from those who have added their work email from and Exchange server to their personal iPhone.

Okay so I have until the 24th to return my new phone. And I'm wondering if I do decide to return it and go back to my 3GS, will I get my upgrade back? Because ideally I would like to get the white one when they finally release it. Does anyone know if this is possible?!
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am wondering about my upcoming ATT Premier order for an iphone. I plan on ordering it on a new line, then going to ATT and switching sims to my primary line. Now I wonder if when I go into an Apple store in case my phone has any issues, will it matter what line its on or where I bought it from? I have never owned an iPhone so I dont know how the apple store actually works.From what I rememeber, I bought a used iPod Touch a long time ago, and it had issues and I just brought it in and got an exchange. Will it be the same with the iPhone?

My 3g is on its last leg - I have been meaning to purchase an iPhone 4 for quite some time now but antennagate has me on the fence -if I pull the trigger now, with AT&T's 30 day return policy, could I potentially exchange this phone for a new one if the iPhone 4 is in fact refreshed.
I stress out way too much about Apple product purchases
I am pre-ordering for home delivery and am thinking to get 2 white iPhone 4's. My girlfriend definitely wants white and I am leaning towards white. If I dont like it can I return it to get black for free or for any cost?

I have been using iPhoto in order to have different photo albums on my iPhone. Well, now iOS has the option to create new albums within the Photos app. So I am hoping to be able to use this route instead of going through iPhoto since it takes a lot longer.. However, when I created the albums in iPhoto, I chose the option to delete the photos from the iPhone and just keep them in an iPhoto album and sync them that way. How do I get these deleted photos, which are still in iPhoto, back into my Camera Roll on my iPhone so I can recatagorize them again with the Photos app?

I am using 3 ways how to charge batery.
1. charger AC-10E (plug 220 V) ... the best, fastest and so far reliable way
2. USB connection - a little slower but reliable way too
3. charger in my car LCH-12 with adaptor - here come some problems - sometime it happens that even if it is charged for 4-5 hours, after disconnection is the phone flat and beeps for charging.
Pilot light somethimes flashes properly = yellow breathing with green finish, sometimes it flashes very weakly in green (instead of bright yellow).
I got my s5 in July, VZW update installed a couple weeks ago. I'm really not sure if my problem started before or after the update, since I just noticed it.
When my calendar syncs, all calendar info entered via PC comes into my phone. NONE of the events that I entered on my phone are shared back to my PC, or to my husband's phone. I tried downloading google calendar instead of stock calendar, but same problem exists.
I have checked settings IN the calendar app, tried rebooting the phone, verified sync settings via SETTINGS> ACCOUNTS> GOOGLE, tried removing and then adding my google account. Is there some hidden privacy button that I may have accidentally clicked?
This problem occurs regardless of which calendar app I'm using.
when we charge the phone when it is switched off why it is jumping from 5% to 15% to 60% to 100%?When we charge the phone when it is off after draining the battery (or ) there are no ways to charge the phone since we are travelling
do we have to charge the phone to 3% and then switch on the phone then we have to charge again to 100% which goes gradually and it takes approximately 2 hours to complete the charge.When we charge the phone when it is switched off then it charges the whole battery within 45 Mins.I think this is a bug in the operating system since, I have never seen in my lifetimte that charging from 0% to 100% in less than 45 Mins.
Ok heres my problem. About 2 weeks ago i went to the Apple store because i got an iPhone 4 with probably the worst proximity sensor on the planet. Literally i hold it up to my face and dont move a muscle and the screen flashes on and off. Its literally caused me to add calls at 3 a.m and hang up on 50% of my calls. So i asked if i could swap it out and the guy working said i should wait for the software update and getting a new phone would still have the same problem. So the problem is now my 30 days is up, and what if the update doesnt fix it? Do you think theyll still let me return it? ATT store wouldnt let me swap out either.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI wonder if Apple will release a software update to address the current issues before or after the 30 day return policy expires? I don't see software fixing the antenna issue and I am curious see when the release comes out.

How can I ensure they are deleted permanently? Do I need to sync to Itunes, or will that bring them back again (I have gone through and deleted yet again from my iphone but dont want them to come back) I don't want them to transfer onto my ipad so I haven't linked my ipad and iphone yet.
