IPhone 5s :: How Effective Is Activation Lock
Jun 5, 2014
I recently had my iphone 5s stolen and I would like to know if the thief will be able to do anything at all to it, as I had IOS 7 and Find my iPhone installed. I've given up hope of locating it as it's been turned off (was stolen this morning, but I had full battery as I left home). I know that there's iPhone hacking through stuff like jailbreaking, and I just want to know if anything like that will be able to deal with the activation lock. Would be a slight comfort to know if the jerk won't be able to benefit from it.

I put my phone in recovery mode because I wanted to try to free up space. It seems that Activation Lock is now broken?????????/ How? It does not prompt me to enter a previous persons apple id and password to activate. It just automatically activates itself. I have Find My Iphone turned on and signed in with my apple id but each time i "erase content and settings" it does not prompt me for my apple id and password to activate. What did I do?

I know this may be a silly question, but does anyone know what the "shutter speed" of the iPhone 4s camera is. Also,in terms of standard 35mm still photography, what is the equivalent focal length of the widest setting of the main camera?

has anyone found an effective screen protector for their touchscreen? The original nokia film that came with my 5530 is pretty scratched up and so i decided to buy one off ebay.
Baaaad choice! There is just no way of putting it on the phone without any air bubbles and even then you have to make a custom cut around the sensor, so as not to block it. Even after i managed to do that, there was a small piece of tape sticking to the film, which you're suppose to remove after stickin it to the screen. That tape left such a horrible mark on the film that i just ripped the film out.I was just wondering if anybody bought a cover that works or managed to apply it without the air bubbles? I'm afraid to buy one of those leather casings with a plastic screen as I've read that some users have problems with their sensor because of that.

I've ordered two Bionics - they havent arrived yet, but I've read two reports online that only the Moto wall charger works effectively for charging the phone. One person in particular couldn't get the phone past 40% charge without switching to the Moto charger.
This makes me think the myriad micro-USB cables and chargers I have at home, in my car, and at work (where I usually charge via USB) aren't going to work w/my Bionic, including a charging station/organizer I have conveniently located in my kitchen.

I installed LockInfo a while ago. I got everything working fine, downloaded it and plugins fine. I got them all from the same repo as I was advised to do that, and everything seemed to be working fine. Everything was up to date etc.
I received an SMS, and instead of it appearing under the SMS on LockInfo, which it does, it appears as well by the annoying Apple notification box.
I still want my phone to light up when I received a text message and the text message to be displayed under the SMS tab in LockInfo, but how do I get rid of the Apple notification box? I saw when configuring the app there was some thing about quick replying to texts and there was a list to choose form. Would any of those get rid of the Apple alert?

My mom gave me her iPhone 4 to use as a touch after she deactivated her sim. I did a clean restore because there was an issue with the battery life. I cannot send SMS so is there any legit way to activate Facetime?
Also will the 4.1 patch change the process of activating Facetime for iphone?

So since the iPhone 4 will have a Micro SIM, how will I get my info and stuff off of my current SIM card and put it onto the Micro SIM? I am most likely going to order and have the iPhone 4 shipped to my Apple Store so I can pick it up first thing in the morning. Will the Apple Store be able to transfer the cards, or will I have to go to the ATT store later and have them do it? Also, think ATT would charge me anything for doing it? Thanks Guys.

So, my family decided to all upgrade to the new iPhone. The three of us would all be getting the 16GB, so about $600 for the phones, and then an activation fee (another $100 added to that). Seems like a lot, especially since I noticed that the Online Store would allow us to go without the Activation Fee about two weeks ago...
Also, how would we go about doing this? With the new restriction of only one iPhone per customer, and only one per household, how are we to do this? If all three of us went together, would we be able to get all three iPhones? Would going to an Apple Store help? And if so, is there a way to waive the Activation Fee there? If this can be done without physically going to the store, please let me know. (Older folks don't want to get up and wait just for a phone, but they don't get us Apple folk .)

I thought I would share my experience of trying to get my activation fee waived.Well it took me 3 calls to ATT but I finally got my fee waived as a one time courtesy. My first two calls ended in failure. I was polite yet stern with both reps and told them I think its absurd to charge $36 activation fee on a phone that I activated myself and that I think paying $2000 over two year contract is worthy for them to waive this bogus $36 charge. Both reps talked to supervisors but told me there was no way they could remove the fee because it is a legitimate charge due to a deal they have with apple. They said if it was any other phone but the Iphone they could do it.
At this point i didnt think it was possible to get it waived but I decided to call one more time and try. This time a guy picked up and I asked him if there was anyway they could waive the activation fee. He didnt need to speak to any supervisor and just straight up told me that he understands my complaint and will remove the fee as a one time courtesy. It was so simple and yet it saved me $42 on my first bill. HUGE!So if anyone is having problems trying to get there activation fee waived I suggest to keep calling back until you get a decent rep. SO yeah be persistent and it could save you some money.

today i was trying to update my iPhone 4S from iOS 5.0to 5.1.1. No problems restoring it, but when i try to activate it,the process fails every time. It seems that Apple Activation servers are down?Im a computer enthusiast and have already checked my home network for issues that can block access to apple servers, also checked from another network and machines, but still no luck. Tried to activate using WiFi on my iPhone, 3G network, and even Connect to iTunes on my PC. I noticed that apple activation server is gs.apple.com. Pinging it from any source on my network just generates timeouts, and even tried to ping it from online pages that provide ping service (ping.eu), but it generates timeouts too.Non modified iPhone 4S - black

Recently I bought an iPhone 4s from us.
But when I insert the sim from India,it is telling me to insert the sim which came with the phone,or get a replacement sim.
But the seller tells me he has used this out of USA with other carriers without any problems.

If you buy an iPhone from the apple store do they force you to activate it in store or can you tell them that your just gonna activate it at home?

I activated more than an hour ago. Everything seemed to go well, the voice told me it would be activated in 20 minutes. I still show "no service" and the business activations line tells me my business is important to them and then it hangs up on me. My old SIM died immediately, so in the mean time I am without cellular service.
