I can't get past the checking connection stage on my phone. I live behind great CHinese Firewall. When I first got the phone I set it up at work which has a VPN-ized network. I waited until my holidays (now) to unlock, root, etc.
However, I do not have access to vpns that are router based - only computer based. I can't seem to share these connections to get the Nexus to register and check a connection - phone times out rather than taking suggested 2 minutes. I can't seem to skip the process either. I CAn't get back to work at the moment so I am left with 'Couldn't connect to the Internet' message and of course LTE won't work either as it's behind the great firewall.
How to gain access to my phone?
My iphone 4 has been dropped and maincard damaged . I sent it to a local service to check it out because it was out of warranty. So they told me that to send it to authorized service to replace. I sent it to authorized service and they refused replacement because i bought it from other country and also opened by another un authorized iphone service. Yes i made a mistake and gave it another service for repair. Should i throw it to the garbage? I trust apple to help me to recover my iphone at any cost..

My contract with Orange is up so I phoned to get a PUC code and bought a sim only Tesco Mobile Contract. Put in the Tesco sim, mmm doesn't work but thought I had an already unlocked phone. Phoned Orange, yes they will charge me £20 approx to unlock it, will send the request to Apple and shoudl take up tp 20 days. Heard nothing from them so called them back 22 days later - the reply I got was they contacted Apple who have refused to unlock the phone as it is an unregistered device - ie not a paired device? They told me Apple have declined to unlock it as it is considered to be a non paired device. Orange have told me to speak to Apple and as I had given Orange permission to send the request on my behalf. Orange said when I bought it brand new it should of come with a sim - I said no it shouldn't cause I bought a brand new unlocked (or so I thought) phone. So now what do I do - do I phone Apple and pay the £25 incident charge and they will unlock it or if I pay it and they don't unlock it I loose £25 or do I go back to Orange and chase them again. The reason I bought it not direct from Orange as I broke my old phone while still in a years contract with orange and they would not let me upgrade and pay the difference for an iPhone, they told me they would repair my phone (which I told them would not be cost effective as I dropped it in the sea while canoeing!) hence why I bought a new phone - it is registered and have had no problems with it.

Diane Campbell saved up, bit by bit, the $600 required to buy an Apple iPad, but when she showed up at the store with a wad of cash to buy the tablet, she found she was out of luck.Campbell recalls her visit to the Palo Alto Apple Store: "I had my cash in the backpack and I went up proudly to the counter and told them, 'I would like to purchase an iPad.'"Apple's sales policy states that the iPad must be purchased by credit or debit card, according to ABC News. No plastic means no tablet, and the Apple employee turned Campbell away."They said, 'Sorry, we don't take cash.' And, so I looked at her and I said OK she's kidding," Campbell tells ABC News.
Although Apple did not respond to ABC News' request for an explanation, Campbell was told by an Apple Store employee that the plastic-only policy is intended to cut down on piracy--customers who buy vast numbers of iPads, in order to sell them overseas.What's next Apple ? Criminal Background check ? Credit check ? Minimum bank balance required ? Employment verification ? Immigration Status check ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI need help with the messaging -> email. I tried to set up personal email on my Nokia N97. I tried using Yahoo but it doesn't work. Then I tried using hotmail and it worked fine (but my hotmail is full of spam so I want to get my Yahoomail to work). It said that I have the username or password wrong. Could someone tell me what to type in?
1. Messaging->Option->Setting->E-mail->Mailboxes->Option->New Mail Box->Start->
2. Email->Use my email address->
3. Email Address: <yahooid>@yahoo.com
4. Password: <Password>
5. Then it said this "Email setting defined. Setting can be viewed and edited in POP3/IMAP4 application. Mail forwarding may need to be activated from your email account for mailbox setting to work". (Does that means anything? is there something I need to do with my email?)
5.OK
6.Option->Connect->
7.Mailbox user name -> (is this the ID or the whole thing +@yahoo.com?)
8. Then the same passwords
I tried using both with @yahoo.com and without @yahoo.com it still says connection refused by server, check username and password (I am sure everything is right, because I tried to log onto my yahoo server).
I am having problems connecting to my yahoo mail account from my phone. when i try, i keep getting the message that i should check username and password as email server has refused access. even when i try my other yahoo email account, i get the same results

View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to iPhone 5S and want to keep using my iPhone 4 as an iPod (just at home, using the Wifi).
Currently, the old iPhone is working (as an iPod). However, to make it work a little faster, I want to reset the old iphone 4, but am afraid that it will need to go through activation process, and now that I'm not with Verizon any more it might not be able to?
It's a simless phone if it makes any difference.
My friend gave me his iPhone 3GS today (He updated to a 4S)When he first showed it to me, with him SIM still in, everything was working completely fine.Randomly after resetting, the home button stopped working.I thought after I put in my SIM, and factory reset it, it may start working (If it was a software problem)My iPhone did not pick up on any SIM being put into it at all. It also started resetting constantly, over and over. I ended up turning off the phone. When I got home, I connected it in. It said it detected the iPhone as being in "Recovery mode", so I have restored it again.It is now doing an "iPhone Software Update" which is 687MB in size (My Mum's SIM is currently in the phone while it does it) My question is, now that it is doing a software update, will this help the problem?And is there any known simple solution to the home button not working?
