Battery Pull Tab Missing????

I sent my iPhone 5 to Apple for repair because of display problems relating to the battery icon and because the phone kept turning itself off. I was then told that they would not repair it because the battery pull tab was missing, even though I never tampered with the phone, or never gave it to any third party to try and fix the phone. Apple customer service were far from helpful and only accused me of tampering with the phone from the start of the call to the end.
Has anyone had any experiences of this? What can I do?

Thank you for your inquiry. Adding to what was stated, there is no known way to reattach a loosened battery pull tab unless done by the manufacture. The amount of force needed to remove the battery using the tab is not very much. A wet, uneven hold on the tab may cause one to exert too force in pulling on it  tearing it off from connection. A good firm pull is all that is needed to loosen the battery. If the tab is still attached inside the phone but loose to where a hard pull could remove the tab, after removing the battery, secure the tab with a good thin piece of strong tape. Then use a thin firm type of material to help in place of the battery removal tab can be tried. Please be sure what you use permits the battery to be seated firmly and not damage the device, nor prevents the cover from going back securely nor prevents the battery from the needed electrical connections. Place it safely in the same place where the battery tab is located. This helps protect the phone from the outside exposure when the cover is in place.

  • Z10 Phone Ring Going Silent Until Battery Pull, and Sometimes Loosing Its Knowing Its ID Information

    I had a number of instances where the phone would no longer ring. No ring, or notifications have been modified.
    The temporay fix is to do a battery pull and allow a full reset.
    I found this happens sometimes after installing and then uninstalling a downloaded program from Blackberry World formerly known as App World.  I also noticed this issue sometimes happening after updates have been installed.
    The unfortunate part of this is if the Bluetooth earphone is not being used calls will be missed because the phone will be silent. I found there was no ring because I had messages and callers displayed during periods where I should have heard the phone ringing.
    I also had issues where the phone lost the capability for it to know its ID. In this case the backup, or restore, and downloads will not respond. The fix is a battery pull.
    I had one time where the battery pull did not fix it. I had to re-install the OS for the phone to become normal again.

    Personally, I think this is a super deluxe great phone. I like everything about the Z10 from a user point of view. We have a number of these Z10 phones and love them. When the Q10 comes out, we may get a few to use as keyboard phones.
    I am thinking the OS was not exactly ready for release. There are some important missing issues and bugs that I have been running in to. I cannot see during testing that these bugs did not come out because there are many users who are having them.

  • Battery Pull - When, Why, and How

    An *excellent* article on the when, why, and how of doing battery pulls on your BlackBerry.  It's recommended many times on these boards to fix a multitude of problems because it WORKS!  Here's why:
    http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-battery-pulls-when-why-and-how
    And if you don't want to click the link, here are a few of the highlights:
    Maybe [your BlackBerry] is not working as fast as before, the internet is stalled, or application memory is gone and nothing has been added. Is it possessed? Do you want to hurl it against the wall?
    Before exchanging the device or panicking that it’s broken, know this. It’s normal; from time to time, your device might become slow and unresponsive. There is a quick and simple way to troubleshoot these issues. In these cases, it’s necessary to reset your BlackBerry device by performing a hard or soft reset. A hard reset is also called a battery pull.
    Essentially, a battery pull restarts the operating system on your BlackBerry device and is just like rebooting your PC when it’s experiencing problems. It is not the same as using the Pwr Off/On button. This only places the phone in standby mode. Not only does a battery pull solve various problems with your device, it also frees up application memory and shuts down applications running in the background that can drain battery and resources.
    A battery pull can help when:
    Hardware Problems
    Device display freezes or jerks
    Torch/Storm devices lag when going from Portrait to Landscape and vice versa
    Keypad/Trackball stops responding or does not work
    SIM card errors
    Software Problems
    Java code or module errors appear on screen (e.g. Uncaught exception)
    Applications are slow, unresponsive, do not load or lag
    Theme issues
    Bluetooth errors – connecting, pairing, etc.
    Installing/Uninstalling Applications & Theme)
    Music streaming apps (Slacker, Pandora) experience continuous buffering
    Social networking apps (Twitter/Facebook) indicate there is no connection available
    Memory leak – available application memory drops
    LED Notification - LED keeps flashing when there are no new e-mails, texts, alarms, etc.
    Maybe you don't WANT to physically remove the battery; I know I don't like removing the protective case repeatedly to take the battery out of the phone.  Thankfully, there are third party "apps" that simulate a battery pull that you can download from BB App World. I use QuickPull by Steelhorn Software (free); it will reboot your device on a schedule you set, or you can do it manually as needed.  A+ Reset ($2.99 after free trial), deReset ($5.99), Restart Me (free) are other options, all available through BB App World.
    HTH someone...your BlackBerry can do a lot for you, but you do need to do some caretaking and maintenance.

  • Device will not Boot up after a battery pull.

    Hi guys, today is my first time using this website and I also registered today so I am very much NEW here.
    I live in Jamaica and my service provider is Digicel Jamaica. My phone is out of warranty by 6 months now as it was purchased 1.5 years ago from Digicel through my company that I was working for.
    I have a Torch 9860 with OS version 7.1. 
    Two months ago while charging the phone with the charger that was supplied from the manufacturer, i realised that the phone had become very hot and as such  i removed the charger and let it cool via removing the battery cover, at that point i realised that using the keypad to type messages the slightest tap of any letter resulted in that letter either not responding or it would give me multiples of the same letter , which prompted me to tap delete  which would either delete the whole word or sometimes just the letter. at other times, the keypad would work just fine. the battery also did not keep charge for more than a few minutes, and upon inspecting the battery realised it was swollen, as such I had it replaced with one purchased from my Dealer which solved the issue of not holding a charge, but the keypad was still behaving funny as previously explained above.
    My major issue I am now facing is I did a battery Pull anf after replacing the battery, the Phone will not boot up, no blackberry logo with the load bar being displayed, the phone appears to be dead. the battery indicator light is blank even if the charger is connected. This occurred once  about a week ago and after several remove and replacing the battery it finally booted up and worked, but did another battery pull two days ago and it still will not power on.
    Please Help, can you advise me if this is a new issue or what needs to be done. I am thinking as a last option to replace the entire board, but out here in Jamaica, that is a very costly option.
    Thank you for taking the time to review this, any help or guidance or feedback will be greatly appreciated. 

    Hello Jamaikhan
    If this happened to you because your problem is that is nuked stay dead ...
    I can relive through using programs like BBSACK to apply a Wipe
    You must download the OS from your Blackberry 9860.
    Having the Desktop Manager installed on your PC ...

  • BB Curve 8900 - randomly stops receiving emails and requires battery pull

    I'm a newb to BB and this forum has helped a lot but my BB Curve 8900 randomly stops receiving emails about every 2 days and requires a battery pull to correct.
    When it stops receiving emails and I go to the browser, it is also unable to connect. I basically lose all connection to data. I can receive calls and sms.
    Turning unit off and on does not help.
    I need to do a battery pull. Then starts working fine right away.
    I'm with Rogers in Canada
    Is there a fix for this? Could I possibly have a bad phone? Battery pull once is a while is fine but to need to do that every 2 days is not.

    Something similar happens to me.  I have to keep resending the service books and then it works fine, try this, at least it will stop you keep doing a hard reset.  I have read somewhere else that this can be influenced by having your phone to turn off at night etc.  So for now I have turned this feature off.  I can actually receive emails via wifi and the failure is only on GPRS.  It sounds a bit strange but I am also becoming convinced that it only occurs when I leave home, go somewhere else and then come back.
    Read this below.  I did do all this but it hasnt worked for me, may help you though

  • Itunes artwork tab missing for movies in version 11.1.3.8

    For some reason recently I am noticing the artwork tab missing when I import in a movie into my itunes directory.  This just started happening and the movie formats are exactly the same as ones which have the artwork tab available.  These are all MPEG-4 Video Files at 124 kbps.  Typical iTunes 'anomoly' but on this one I am baffled.  Anyone have a clue as to how to fix this?  I even tried completely removing the movie from the itunes file directory and then reimporting into iTunes but same issue.

    No need to scream at me.
    You can access the apps by clicking the iPad thingy on top right of the screen (when the iPad is connected) and then select Apps and scroll down to file sharing apps...
    Or....
    As I said....
    EXACT SAME WAY AS BEFORE

  • QR code on the blue pull tab of the back panel protection film on new devices

    Has anyone tried to scan the tiny QR code on the blue pull tab of the back panel protection film?
    I tried but it's too tiny for the camera to focus on it.
    Does anybody know what it is?

    You don't need to upgrade your software.  But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
    If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3.  It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC.  More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices. 
    Pop-Menu  Magic3 by PVII (commercial DW extension)
    http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm3/index.htm
    If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins.  A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

  • Lost media after battery pull

    So, on Sunday my phone wouldn't connect to the network so I tried a battery pull.  When the phone came back on, it connected just fine, but all of my saved media (pictures, music, videos) was gone.  The media was all saved on the device and we use a BES at my office.  Any chance of recovering the lost media?  Phone seems to be working just fine--just don't have any pictures or videos left.  Thanks for any advice.

    Hi
    Do another battery pull whilst powered on and leave the batterry out for a minute or 2.
    Make sure that the folder/s with the media aren't hidden. Go through each folder - and Media and downloads and apps are the most obvious places and ensure "Show All" is ticked in the menu.
    I presume you do regular back-ups as part of your firm's IT policy. You should be able to restore from a recent back-up with no fuss.
    Otherwise I would refer to your admin for assistance; many admin folk prefer to deal with issues.
