IPhone 5 broken glass... 2 day old iPhone :(

I got my iPhone 5 yesterday, activated it last night, dropped it this morning and the glass broke. No insurance because I didn't think it was worthwhile.. I used my mighty math powers to make that decision. I bought it for $199. (Corp a/c) any hope of redemption?

This is what I did..
O. First went to the AT&T store. They made me wait 20 minutes.. It was busy to be fair, and then one of heir experts told me that nothing can be done. That it may work for 4 months or so even if I replace the glass.. The replacement would cost. She said I may want to go the Apple store and. They may give on for about $250..
O I called my sister and she said her 4 had the same problem and they fixed it for $100
O I went to the Apple store. I was told that it is going to be around $250 for a replacement. But, he gave some tips.mhe said
1. Wait for a few months because there are no fixers for the iPhone 5 who can do it for any lesser than about $200..maybe there will be soon.
2. put something like the Zagg shield. The top part of the phone - about an inch ha the maximim damage.. So it's not too bad.. But a few cracks may appear..
3. The barrier to the electronics has  been compromised because the glass is broken. It is suspectible to damage by static. So, put some electric tape where you can buy a case which covers the top part.
So, that what I did.. It's usable now. I think it was really good advise... Hope it lasts for a few months at least.. It's such a beautiful, fast phone.. Well..
As a side note, i was really impressed by the Zagg shield.. It's not like the regular plastic stuff. He puts a thin film os some kind bakes it or maybe use some kind of jet stream usung a machine. The display is good as the original.. I would highly recommend it. There are 4 kinds -$20 and $30
Thanks all..

  • Broken glass on iPhone 5

    I cracked the glass on my 32 day old iPhone 5.  How do I get it fixed?  How much does Apple (if they even fix them) charge?  I did not get the AppleCare plan.  The LCD touch display is not damaged, only the exterior glass.

    Apple does not fix it. They will offer a replacement iPhone for $229.

  • IPhone 4s- Cracked Screen (33 days old)

    I cracked the bottom of the screen on my phone near the home key. I set up a appointment at the Genius Bar and i wanted to know how much it would cost for them to replace the glass? (The Phone is 33 Days old)

    I had the same problem - cracked the bottom of my screen -  but I have an unlocked 4S because I live outside the US.
    Do you know how long does it take to replace it?
    I read here that if you pay 199 they will replace it for a new one right there, but that works also with the unlocked ones?
    I´m going to NY at the beginning of March and was worried that they have to keep my iPhone there for a long period of times fixing it... is that still an option? Or do they only offer you the instant replacement?
    Thank you so much, kind regards!

  • 5 days old iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 battery life please help

    My phone is 5 days old and i am so fed up with battery life. I disabled all data settings and location services and i have nothing in notification center for any push notification. But still i lost 40% of the battery in half a day with just 5 mins of voice call and 15 mins of texting. Phone was idle the rest of the time and when i used i had brightness at around just 10-15% this is my first iPhone and totally disappointed as i saw battery to last a full day of normal usage in the internet. I am totally fed up with apple. What should i do now ? I am a student and invested an year's savings of mine to get this phone. I am totally fed up. Someone please help me.

    You have to tell us what your usage pattern is like, what your reception/signal strength is, and what network type you are using (E/3G/4G/LTE)
    To note, the more the screen is on (in long intervals 2+ minutes) the shorter the battery life is.
    Streaming music over 3G will last 6 hours if the screen stays off for most of that time.
    Email, messages, web browsing will last most of the day.
    Since you have GSM, your phone should last 10 hours with light usage.

  • TS4036 My old iPhone got damage and sprint changed it when I try to restore from iCloud I don't have the option to choose the latest back up instead it restored a version that is like 192 days old. How can I see the restore that I want?

    Hello
    Today I got my iPhone 4s changed from sprint and when I enter my icloud information it gives me an old backup (196 days old) and I back up automatically all nights , there was no choice to select which one I wanted or anything. So I ended up loosing a lot of important information, all the pictures and everything that I did the past 196 days. I try to see if there is a place on the web that the back up data is displayed but I haven't found anything. I have a lot of important information on icloud, to the extend that I even pay for more space because I use the  iPhone as part of my work. Can someone please explain to me what has happen and if there is a way that I can recover my information? I am desperate it is very important. Thank you very much!

    Once in a while the restore process seems to mess up.  What I don't understand is why you would perform a weekly restore.
    At any rate, if you must restore, perform a device reset (settings>general>reset) and then you will have the opportunity to restore from iCloud.  Restore a device whenever it no longer works correctly, not just as a matter of maintenance.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  • HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts.  My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up.  Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

    I have the exact same problem.  I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts.  They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

  • Last Friday, the broken glass of my iphon g3 replaced. Since then, remains the screen of my iphon regular black. The battery is not empty. By the restart I get my iphon back to life. It always comes back sooner. The last 24 hours 3x. Is there a solution?

    Since Apple doesn't repair iPhones (they replace them) you will have to take it back to whoever "fixed" it. Since it's been opened by an unauthorized 3rd party, it is no longer eligible for replacement by Apple.

    Is your phone charged? If so, perform a reset:
    iPhone Reset:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release...can take 10 ~ 15 seconds of button pushing.

    There is obviously something not right... But to determine what the issue is, it needs to be looked at...
    And the Apple Store would probably be the best place...
    Just my opinion...

    I have an iPhone 5c but I wish to chnage the colour. Is this possible as it is less than 30 days old?

    If bought at an Apple store, yes. Make sure to bring the receipt and all packaging back, and they'll set you up for an exchange.

    Just curious. IF I bought my IP through ATT and I had a major problem that required replacement, could I go to either an ATT store or an Apple store? Or would I be restricted?
    I did order mine directly from att.com.

  • Hi, My recent trip pics on my iphone are more than 30 days old and my icloud photo sharing had been turned off.  How do I now share them to my PC which is on the icloud photo sharing?  I want to save/print these once shared to my PC.  Help?

    That list includes all the apps that you installed to your device directly from iTunes on the computer, or which were purchased on the iOS device and subsequently transferred to iTunes on the computer.
    If you right click on any item in that list and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" it will open your iTunes application installer directory on your computer, which should be:
    C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications
    In there are all your saved application installers (*.ipa files).  You need to delete those actual installer bundles and then make sure to NOT allow the "transfer purchased content" when you sync or backup in iTunes (as that will just put them back on your hard drive).
    One caveat to removing those, is that if you ever wish to keep a specific release of a particular app, and the developer replaces the iTunes/App store version with something else, your sole source for your older version will be your own stored copy of it.  So for example, when PDF expert released their iOS 7 update, and charged everyone full price for it, if you wished to keep using the previous version on your own devices, then you needed to keep a copy of the installer on your own computer as that older version is no longer available in the store front.
