View 1 RepliesMy iPhone 4s, which I've been using for 3+ months, today displayed "activation required". But when I try to activate, it says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support. Needless to say, connecting to iTunes doesn't work - "The software on the iPhone has expired and must be updated to a newer version".

my iPhone has started to lose signal then when you reboot it it comes up with the message activation required. When I unlock the phone it tells me to connect to iTunes. When I do this I have to restore the phone and restart it using my back up, but it keeps happening.

My iPhone 5c goes into Activation Required mode about 5-10 times per day and always overnight. Therefore my alarms do not work, can't receive texts or calls. I have to be in wifi to be able to re activate the phone. Once in wifi it takes me to the Apple ID log in page. Once I put in the info it takes me right back to the home screen as normal.

A few days ago I got an email from someone who looked familiar to my contacts so I opened it but soon realized it was spam with a weird link, and quickly deleted it without clicking the link. My phone started acting funny so I turned it off and back on and it told me "Activation Required", so I did and all of my setting preferences were lost, like my ringtone and read receipts and all the little things that annoy me. (I've had this phone for over a year) Then I opened Instagram and it had kicked me out so I immediately changed my password. All of my other social media was fine and let me in. I set all of my preferences again but it keeps asking me if I want read receipts like every time I message. Also every single time I turn my phone on it requires activation. If it was spam, what do I do to clear it without losing absolutely everything? And is there a way for me not to activate every time I turn it on?

I know that purchasing an iPhone at the subsidized prices will result in the extension of one's contract but how exactly would they see to it that this is done w/o forcing you to activate in-store?I ask because I'm leaving for Argentina soon and want to get the iPhone 4 at the $200 price point before I leave (phones in Argentina cost millions of dollars ). I plan on jailbreaking and unlocking it whenever the relevant software comes out (along with doing the whole cutting the SIM thing) but in the meanwhile, would I be able to continue using my current iPhone (first gen) on the line that I am upgrading?To lay it out, there are two lines on the account. Both due for an upgrade. Mom will upgrade her line to new iPhone and will activate and use as normal. I upgrade my line to new iPhone but don't activate and instead use current iPhone on that line until I leave and then give it to a sibling to take over the number (I don't think I have a choice but to give up my number). 1st gen phone doesn't have 3g so I have $20 unlimited plan. Agent already told me that an upgrade to the new iPhone will cause me to move over to one of the new data plans but I'm still unclear as to when I would have to choose the plan. At home via iTunes or what? Do they end up charging you the full amount of the phone if they find that you haven't upgraded your plan to one of the new ones (and indication that you aren't using the new iPhone yet)?I was already told that in the event that I lose my iPhone 4 or it gets broken, or whatever, I can simply use another phone with an ATT SIM (or swap the micro-SIM and use an adapter), give the IMEI number and they'll register the phone and change the plan accordingly.
Could i continue to use the old iPhone w/ that line? I'm assuming that I could while waiting for the phone to arrive so why not after it gets here? I basically don't plan on touching the new iPhone until I get to Argentina but will still obviously be fine with extending the contract for another 2 years (is that all they care about?) since the number will be used by someone.
My 3gs will now only turn on if it is plugged into the wall charger. When it finally turns on, it gives me the "Requires Activation" message then a screen comes up that says plug phone into itunes. Plugged into my Mac Computer, and doesnt even recognize it. Also immediately after taking phone off wall charger, it shuts off.

When I now select if, a tick appears in the box and other devices can 'see' my WPA protected Hotspot, but I get a message showing on the screen saying: "Activation Required. Click Continue to subscribe to a Mobile Hotspot data plan using the browser on your smartphone or on a connected Wi-Fi device". The only option is "OK" (not Continue). If I select OK, then I go back to the Manage Connections screen, with no tick in the Mobile Hotspot box. I am on an Orange UK voice and data plan (orange internet APN).

I've had it for over 2 years. It's a 3GS. Today around 6 o'clock it just all of a sudden said "No Service". So I turned it off and then back on. Now it wont do anything but come up "Activation required" and then a black screen with the Apple logo. I even plugged it in to iTunes and it doesn't do anything. It wants me to Restore but I don't want to loose all my stuff.

I have an iPhone 4s (Verizon). I had recently purchased what was described as an OEM screen plus LCD after I had cracked my factory screen. After replacing the screen and LCD such features as the side volume controls, vibrate switch, and proximity switch (dimming after accepting a call) have stopped working. I double checked to see that all of the connectors were pushed on correctly and they were. Is it possible this may not be an OEM screen and causing the problem or is there a piece of the hardware that I may have damaged that controls all of these functions (i.e. motherboard)?

I'm traveling to London, England this upcoming week and purchased a Power Converter/ Adapter with a USB port. When I plugged the Blackberry into the USB, it said the charging device doesn't have enough power to charge the Blackberry. It says the USB output is 5VDC, 1 A max.How much power is required to charge the Blackberry and do you have any recommendations for power converters/adapters that are compatible with the Torch?

My experia X8 won't charge (USB or the same cord on the mains charger adapter) or from a car charger unless I switch it off and then plug in the charging lead with the phone still off. Once I've done that the red/green indicators come up ok.I can then switch it on and it continues to charge. I can move the cable and the light will go off, Sometimes I can jiggle it and it will come on sometimes not. If I unplug the cable it normally won't start to charge unless
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy iphone 4s is totally FUBAR. I tried the reset that involves deleting everything and starting over. I can't get past the following even in iTunes: we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care. I've tried several times for 2 days now with the same results. What now? This nonsense all started after a week of getting NO SERVICE displayed on the upper left corner of my phone even though I know there is nothing wrong with the service here.
