Original iphone dropped in custard?

ok well, dont ask me how i did it, but i accidently dropped my original iphone in custard last night, around 11pm. i managed to clean it off, & i put it on charge like i usually do overnight, & it was fine & fully charged up. but about 1 hour ago, it ran out of battery, so i tried charging it with every charger in the house(we have about 4) i tried plugging it in thecomputer aswell, & it wouldnt work. when i do plug it into my computer, it doesnt come up with the usual charging lightining bolt over the battery sign, it comes up with just the lightining bolt on its own under the battery (not the usual one where there is a plug next to the lightining bolt & an arrow.) can anybody help, or is my iphone broken? thank youuu!

Depending on what kind of custard (and if there was any mustard in it) you may be out of luck...
The best thing to do is shut it off and place it in a plastic bag with uncooked rice. Leave it in the sealed bag for at least 3-4 days to remove as much moisture from the phone as possible. If you have access to silica gel pacs, this will work better.

  • Vibrate Intensity on Original iPhone

    Although it happened only every so often before the 2.0 update... the vibrate intensity on my original iPhone drops significantly almost all the time ever since the 2.0 update. I can barely feel it when it is in my pocket and I have missed numerous phone calls, text messages, etc. when in a noisy environment. It is usually stuck like that 90% of the time and I either have to turn the phone on and off to fix it (which only lasts temporarily) or I have to slide the ring volume bar back and forth in the settings menu (again, only lasts temporarily). This is really driving me crazy and I thought it would have been fixed with the 2.0.1 update. It did not.
    Does anyone have any thoughts? Could it possibly be a hardware issue? Bringing it to the Genius Bar is not an issue, as I have one close to my house.

    My intensity isn't intermittent like it sounds like yours is. But I am having the same issue. I did not have the original iPhone but i just got the 3G and I have never missed so many calls and texts in my life. I can never feel it vibrate

  • I'm trying to activate my original Iphone for a few weeks

    My daughter dropped my 3G in the toilet- and so of course it is toast.  I ordered a new 4S- but they are backordered- so I was told I could place my current sim card into my original Iphone.  When I do- it shows a picture of cord to be plugged into  Itunes.  When I do plug it in, my computer recognizes it, but the phone is just frozen with this icon.  I've tried 3 different computers and they all had the newest Itunes software.  Has anyone had this happen?  And more importantly- do you know how to fix it?  I really need a phone for the next 3 weeks!  Thanks for any ideas!

        Your patience is greatly appreciated joanr1331! Let's get your iPhone 5c activated once and for all. May I have you remove the sim card, reboot, and reinsert, & retest. Keep us posted with your findings.
    Thank you…

  • Problem with the original iphone.

    i have the original iphone for the past year and half.
    i've dropped it many times, but it didn't harm the iphone.
    the other day, i dropped it, and it died. it didn't respond to nothing.
    until i plugged it to the charger, and to the computer.
    than when i pressed the sleep/wake button then it lights up and you can see the apple logo.
    but it shuts down again after a minute.
    i tried to restart it while it was plugged, so it restarts but goes back to- lighting up and showing the logo.
    how can i save my iphone?

    Either the battery is not charging properly, or your iPhone is knackered as a result of you dropping it repeatedly. Without seeing it, I would assume it is the latter that has caused the fault. I suggest you take it to an Apple Store or to your network operator and seek some advise as to whether it is repairable or not.

  • Credit for Purchasing Original iPhone at Full Price?

    I have been out of the country for several months, so I know I'm a little behind here, but was there ever any sort of compensation for those of us who purchased the original iPhone at full price? I heard that there was an iTunes credit or something similar.
    If there is any sort of compensation, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks so much!

    Anyone???
    Because #1 & #2 dont make sense unless there is a cost difference based on whether you bought your old iPhone before or after Apple dropped the price.
    I 'm not sure where the confusion lies. The 1st gen iPhone has been out for a year. There was a price decrease after the first 3 months, and as a concession to early adopters, there was a rebate/refund of $50 or $100 back to the iPhone purchasers. That offer has now, as mentioned above, expired.
    The 1st gen iPhone was not subsidized by AT&T, so the user paid for the phone up front, and then subsequently the contract charges (including the $20 data plan) each month for the projected 2-year period. Since all 1st gen iPhone owners *by definition* got non-subsidized iPhones, AT&T says we are eligible for the lowest tier pricing. So are current AT&T users who have fulfilled their current contracts that included a subsidized phone.
    The second price tier is for an early upgrade. This from the AT&T site: "You have the option to purchase an early upgrade priced at $399 for 8GB (black) or $499 for 16GB (black or white). Two-year contract required." That's for folks who are still in a contract for a subsidized phone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Apple can you please tell us when you are fixing original iPhone?

    can someone from apple please tell us your plan for fixing the original iphone and the "incorrect signal strength formula"?

    yes you are correct in your statement but i was curious to see if that interpretation was correct so i called....after about 15 minutes a supervisor came on the phone and said the update is not available for the original iPhone because it is only for the 4.0 software which is not compatible with the original iPhone...and i may not have actually known what was going on but i did realize that i could not make phone calls at certain times even though I had 1 or 2 bars....now i realize this was because of the "incorrect signal strength formula" that has been present since the launch in the original iPhone as you stated....just becuase i could not pinpoint the problem (becuase i am not an engineer) does not mean i used the phone flawlessly with no problems...now that i now what the cause of the problem is i can identify it every time it happens...i used to just think that maybe the call was dropped but in fact i never had any service to begin with because the phone incorrectly displayed that i had service when i did not

  • I need help with original iphone, kind of urgent!

    Hello everyone, first post!
    Anyway, when i was at the store purchasing my iphone 3g my brother mentioned to the att guy that his iphone (the original) always drops calls, it always did but he figured that nothing could fix it, the att guy told him that he should take it back to the apple store and they should give him a new one.
    Problem is, he bought it on launch day, would they still give him another iphone? Would they somehow fix it?

    The iPhone includes a one year warranty which begins on the purchase date. Unless your brother purchased the AppleCare extended warranty for his iPhone which extends the standard one year warranty by an additional year, his iPhone is no longer under warranty.
    If he contacted AppleCare to report this while his iPhone was under warranty with a case number assigned but there was no resolution, he would have a better chance at getting his iPhone exchanged under warranty. If he never reported this to AppleCare or at an Apple Store with a case number assigned, etc., his chances at getting an exchange under warranty at this point are probably slim to none, but it can't hurt to ask.

  • IPhone dropped in toilet.... finally powers on... but...

    Hi,
    2 weeks ago I dropped my Iphone in the toilet. Yesterday I tried plugging it in, and low and behold it powers up. The only problem is the "Slide to Unlock" slider doesn't work. The "Power Off/On" slider works...so I think the screen is working fine. I did a complete reset and still have the same issue.
    Is the phone dead or does anyone have a recommendation.
    It is the original Iphone.

    Your warranty has also been voided, especially now that you've posted it on an Apple-run forum.
    Even if you hadn't, if you sent your iPhone in for repair, they would be able to tell it was damaged (with the water sensor) and your warranty would still not cover it.
    I'd put it in a bag of rice and give it a week or two. I wouldn't try to take it apart though.

  • Original iPhone randomly enters restore mode on 2.2

    Hello All,
    I have an original iPhone running on the 2.2 firmware which will randomly enter into restore mode. I have iTunes 8.0.2.20, the iPhone is an 8GB model. I have tried both restoring my data from a backup and setting up the phone as a new phone, either way it seems to drop back into restore mode. The timing of this seems to be random. Sometimes the phone lasts for a few days and others a few hours before it drops into restore mode. I have the sync cable plugged directly into a USB port on the motherboard, not one of the expansion ports on the case.
    Any info or thoughts would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

  • Phone reception compared to original iPhone

    I'm not talking audio quality, I'm inquiring about signal strength, for phone calls.
    Is the signal stronger (more bars, fewer dropped calls) in marginal areas, or weaker, on the 3G?
    Thanks!

    smithers - thanks for your reply, I think that is the question i meant to ask:
    What is the best case comparison? With old and new phones on 2G, not 3G, is there a difference in signal strength, dropped calls, etc.?
    I always had very good reception with my original iphone, almost no dropped calls, I'm in Baltimore. With the new phone with 3g on signal bars fluctuate a lot and in areas where the original phone, which my wife is now using, gets a strong signal the new one shows a weaker signal. Even so no dropped calls or issues. The signal bars bothered me at first until I tried turning off 3g and when the signal came back it was stronger with full bars in all the areas that the original phone gets full bars.

  • Anyone jump from the Original iPhone to an iPhone 4?

    Would love to hear your thoughts.

    I upgraded from original iPhone on July 3rd. I loved the phone, but was worried over all the "antenna" issues so returned it within 30 days. I wanted to wait until end of September to be sure they did not come out with any minor change to the antenna which could affect future resale. I have been an Apple user since the original Mac back in the 1980's. First time I had to return a product -- but it is only temporary.
    It was painful moving back to the original iPhone -- here are the main things I liked about the iPhone4 vs original:
    3G speed: I ran Speedtest on my original before upgrading and then with the new iPhone 4 from the exact same spot in my house. Original averaged 50 - 100kbs download. iPhone 4 averaged 1200-1500kbs. Web pages loaded much faster.
    Maps/Compass: The true GPS is great to know exactly where you are. The original iPhone "fake GPS" maps was not very accurate. There are many free apps that use the GPS. There was a Geo-caching app to track down things people had placed -- fun to do. There are apps you can use to track your route and how far you have gone (great for hiking, bike riding).
    Rear Camera: Rear camera is a huge improvement over original. Having a flash really helps. With the new HDR feature in iOS 4.1 coming out, the photos will look even better.
    Video -- the video from the rear camera was also good. Not going to replace my dedicated video camera, but produces good quality video when I need it.
    Front Camera: didn't get a chance to use FaceTime. This will be better once there are more users. Hopefully Apple will integrate it with all the MacBooks so I can FaceTime to home / family computers.
    Retina Display: was clearer, but there seemed to be more hype on this than the actual difference (at least for my eyes).
    Multi-Tasking: I definitely miss this already. Very easy to move between apps. Much quicker to navigate.
    Folders: I also miss this. Again, much easier to organize apps and get to them quicker.
    Tethering: I was lucky enough to get the HandyLight app for the few hours it was up on iTunes. It worked well for tethering my MacBook Pro to the iPhone. I will stay with the unlimited data plan and use this app for the infrequent tethering I may need to do.
    Overall speed of launching apps, moving between screens was faster, and typing was faster on iPhone 4. I never noticed the delay on my original iPhone as much until I switched back to it. Especially the lag when typing -- I sometimes type 2-3 letters and then have to wait a second or 2 for it to show up.
    iPhone 4 Cons:
    I did find a few times where data would stop working on the 3G network -- never had that problem when on Edge network in same location. Was most likely an issue with AT&T network being overwhelmed vs a phone issue.
    Antenna: I always use a case -- afraid to drop it and crack the screen. If I took off the case and held my finger/hand over the antenna gap then I would get a significant drop in signal. At my home, I ran the speedtest covering the antenna -- the download speeds would drop to almost 0kbs. Put the case back on and my data downloads were fine. I also tried leaving the case off and covering the gap with carefully cut Scotch tape -- this also worked fine in solving the problem.
    I decided to try this with my original iPhone -- took off the case and covered the lower plastic section. Results were similar -- data dropped to almost nothing.
    Final note - Data usage. I was averaging 200 - 250mb per month on my original iPhone. In the first week I had used about 1GB on the iPhone 4. I was using it a lot more, using GPS/Maps more, running Speedtest frequently, etc. Since webpages load faster, I was doing more internet browsing. I would recommend staying with the unlimited data plan when you upgrade.
    Hope this helps. iPhone 4 is great and I can't wait to re-purchase it in a month. Either they will have made a minor adjustment (insulated antenna, clear coat finish over antenna) or I will re-purchase it as is. I felt it was worth a couple month wait to protect my phone investment.

  • Please fix the sensor! I want my original iphone back!

    I want my original iphone back!! I LOVED my original iphone. I never even upgraded to 3g or 3gs because it always just worked for me. I was excited to try the new iphone 4, thinking it was time to upgrade. I'm so sorry I did it. I am now on my 2nd iphone 4 and am even more unhappy than I was with the first one. I didn't have dropped calls on my first one but the time keep changing to another time zone randomly and didn't change when it should. Now with my second iphone 4 I'm having the sensor issue CONSTANTLY. I've tried it with case, without case, it doesn't seem to even matter. I put people on hold, speakerphone, disconnect, mute. It's a nightmare.
    I have been a loyal apple advocate since in the early 80's but this product may just shake my support. PLEASE fix this issue. Don't tell me to buy a case! It doesn't fix the problem.
    Unhappy. : )

    I wonder if all the people reporting the problem hold the phone between their shoulder and their cheek?
    (I have to admire such courage. You wouldn't catch me using my £600 phone whilst intentionally leaving go of it!)

  • Original iphone activation

    I have an original iphone (day 1) that I dropped on its head and now has problems. I own a backup original iphone that I want to use in its place. Can I activate the backup without a new contract? I don't want to lose my upgrade discount. I swapped the SIM card and itunes acts as if I am a new customer, asking me what calling plan I want.

    Remember that not every iPhone user is from the US of A, or dependent on AT&T or any particular operator/carrier.
    I was not answering a question posed by 'every iPhone user,' I was answering the specific question posed by rockhead above, who stated, +"I have an original iphone (day 1)..."+ The Original iPhone was launched on June 29, 2007 (i.e. 'day 1') and at that time was available only in the USA with a 2-year AT&T contract. It was launched in 3 more countries in late 2007 and 2 more in early 2008. The Original iPhone was never available in Finland, by the way...

  • Original iPhone -- $ 100 credit

    I bought the original iPhone in July 2007 and received a $ 100 credit when the prices dropped a few months later. I have not yet redeemed the credit. I tried to use it in buying a new 3G S earlier today but didn't see how to use the credit. There is no "redeem by" notice on the credit. Is the $ 100 credit still valid?

    You said you hadn't redeemed the credit. If that's correct, then it's too late. If, however, you redeemed the credit but haven't used it, then it should be valid on almost anything in the Apple Store. You'll have to ask about using it on a new iPhone, though.
    But again, if you never redeemed the credit, you're out of luck.

  • TS1591 Original iPhone (2007 model) won't appear in iTunes devices.

    I have just found my old original iPhone (2007) I have the at 2011 macbook pro 2.2Ghz Intel Core i7 with 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
    Running OS X 10.8.2
    iTunes is 11.0.2.
    I have restarted the computer and the iphone and yet the iphone doesn't appear in my iTunes devices?
    The iPhone actually works as it still has a bit of credit so I can make and receive calls on it. It has music and pictures still on it etc. So it works. But it will not connect to my MacBook Pro?
    Any advise please.

    Ok results.
    My original iPhone 2007 first model that was released seems to no longer work with the latest updates of iTunes and OSX10.8
    I tried in an Apple shop with all new computers and none registered my iPhone even connecting to them. I have an uptodate MacBookPro running OSX10.8.3 This computer will not register my iPhone. A friend also has an uptodate iMac running OSX 10.8.3
    However I have an old der MacBookPro (2008) running OSX 10.7 and bing the iphone worked straight away.
    Additionally I have an old Mac Mini (2005) running OSX10.7 and the iphone worked straight away with this.
    Having owned Mac computers for nearly 20 years now I'm reasonably savvy with them. So my conclusion is that Whilst original iPhones may not be officially dropped by Apple....it would appear that they have!
