Broken back glass and signal ??

hi again, the iphone 4 i got has a broken back glass and i was wondering if it has anything to do with a weak signal? now im used to using an android for years and where im at we get good signal (full most of the time) but i see my 4 has a low signal, wile driving to town the other day (first trip with the iphone) i was talking to my wife and the phone was cutting in and out and not being nice...  so i was wondering if the broke glass on the back had anything to do with it?? i read somewhere that somebody had painted there case for the phone and the paint messed up the reception... mine has no case just a piece of clear tape to keep from cutting on the sharp glass,
thanks for the help.....

radio?? i dont know anything about the radio   i didnt drop it thats the way i got it, is there a way to open it and "look" to see if there is damage?  thanks

  • Will Apple Care fix a phone with a broken back glass?

    I bought an iPhone 4 in July 2010 at an ATT store, and bought an Apple Care plan with it at the same time.  I managed to shatter the back glass of my phone on the day I bought it.  It's been working fine ever since with the broken back glass.  I just put it in a case and haven't worried about the back being broken.
    However, recently the home button has stopped working very well.  I am still under Apple Care extended warranty; however, I don't know if they will fix my home button with the back glass being broken.  Does anyone have any ideas or ever been in this situation?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply.  Just to be clear--I'm not asking them to fix the back glass, which I know is not covered by warranty.  I'm asking if they will fix something else that shoudl be covered.  They could send it back to me with the back glass still broken as long as the home button worked.
    Sorry, but you're going to be out of luck. There is no way to prove that the damage that cased the glass to crack did not also cause the problem you want fixed under warranty. The only option Apple is going to give you is a $149 out of warranty replacement.

  • Broken back glass on iphone 4

    I've dropped my iphone4 and the back glass has broken, although the phone still works fine.  Has anyone had their back glass repaired by Apple and know how much it would cost?  I've made an appointment at the store in Covent Garden London but they can't tell me how much it will be.  There are some independent repairers which have quoted me £40 or £50 - I suspect cheaper than Apple but I'm a bit concerned about using them.  Any thoughts or experiences please??  Thank you!

    If it's still under warranty I'd advice you NOT to repair it yourself just to be safe. Go to the Apple Store and ask them to repair/replace the back case. They charge £25 in Glasgow, Scotland. I'd imagine they'd charge the same in London

  • Want to change broken back glass on 4S. What screwdriver works?

    Hi
    Dropped my iPhone 4S (16gb) and broke the back glass. Ordered a replacement from Canada that came with 3 small screwdrivers. None seems to work.
    I believe my Model No is A1387, at least the A and 87 are clearly legible.
    What screwdriver works and any idea where to get it?

    Dang, I stand corrected, I checked with the particular store, and you're absolutely right, $29.99. Thanks!!!
    (I'm really messing up, I even clicked myself as 'This helped me'. What a doink I am.
    Thanks again, KiltedTim.

  • URGENTLY need to get back photos and videos my daughter deleted...

    On the weekend my two year old has somehow deleted or reset my husband’s mobile which has wiped everything from the phone. My biggest concern is the 2,500+ photos and videos of our families memories. Unfortunately he had not linked it to itunes or download the files or linked to iclouds. Is there anyway PLEASE of getting these photos and videos back??!! Do you know of a program we can use? Im desperate to get these back as these are the only pics of my daughter from the last 2yrs.
    Your help is much appreciated.

    They're gone. You're not going to get them back.
    There are several lessons here.
    Back up. Often. Apple has made backing up the iPhone brain dead simple. It will either back up to your computer every time you plug it in to sync with iTunes, or it can back up to iCloud on a daily basis with no user interaction at all so long as it's connected to WiFi and a power source.
    Electronic devices fail. It's not a matter of if it will happen, it's only a matter of when.
    Now go out and buy an external drive to backup your computer before some silly mishap ends up wiping your tax returns and other irreplacable documents.
    Another lesson to take from this is that if you're going to let a 2 year old play with a $600 piece of electronic equipment, you might want to supervise things a little bit more closely... iOS has features built in to make sure that a chile (or an adult for that matter) can't get out of whatever app you want them to use and bork up the entire phone. Read the manual and look at the section on using "guided access".
    Be thankful that you didn't learn another important lesson from this, which is "iPhones are made of glass, which is fragile". Giving something made of glass (or largely of glass) to a 2 year old to play with is downright stupid. What if she'd broken the glass and cut herself? It wouldn't be just memories you could potentially be missing then.

  • IPhone 4S broken black glass replacement Singapore

    I have a cracked back glass of my iPhone 4S, which i purchased in April this year. I went to service Center in Singapore for replacement and I was informed that back glass can not be repaired instead they were offering to replace the iPhone with a new one for  S$350. I have read in the forums that it can be replaced in many countries for a lot less than I was asked. What should I do? Even somebody suggested that buying the back glass and replacing yourself. Is it possible to buy an original one and if yes then from where?  I will truly appreciate any suggestions for this.
    Thanks

    Take it to an Apple genius bar and see what they want to do...normally damage such as that is not covered under the warranty unless it broke on its own due to defect.
    Take it in and see.

  • Shattered Xperia Z Ultra back-glass

    Dear Sony Support Team,It is of extreme discomfort that I write to you regarding the first ever serious complaint I have faced in the last 12 years of my connection with the Brand. I recently bought Sony Xperia Z Ultra with the IMEI number 357656050195500. It has hardly been a month since I procured it, and was enjoying the unmatched features and functions it offers. Until yesterday. I took the phone out of my pocket as it rang yesterday, the back of the phone hit my steel-strapped watch and shattered / cracked. That is not the end of it. Exactly where it hit the watch, I have also got a tiny spot on the beautiful display. Trust me, there was NO Fall whatsoever, no other hit whatsoever either. It just hit the corner of the watch, conservatively. I have been upset ever since, and I can tell you it is extremely disappointing, especially as Sony would not stop raving over how the glass is unbreakable / shatter-proof. I take the blame for the cell phone hitting the watch (the back of the phone), but such a mild hit would do this to the phone? I have 17 Sony phones today with my office staff, and am extremely happy till now. How can you help me with solving this issue, as well as retaining me as a customer, especially when I have bought the phone for 46,000/-, which isn't cheap by any means of imagination. I am not saying that just because it is expensive, you should help me. I am trying to present my case in the most truthful manner possible. In me, you have a Sony Mobile loyalist, and I hope you help me out with replacement of the back glass (and the display spot issue please). Looking forward to your reply.

    Same problems. I leaned against my car with the phone in my pocket and it cracked though the bottom glass, and then later the top glass showed the same problem and ceased responding.  As frustrating as this was the help-line was far worse. The people who answer seemed far better trained in redirecting complaints and avoiding the caller than they are in offering information. The answer I was given ad nauseum was "It is a $40 fee to mail the phone in and inspect it. This is an inspection fee and does not cover any repair cost". No one wanted to hear the problem and getting an idea of how much the repair would cost seemed forbidden.  This seems like an unexpected and unrelated response on my part, but I was in the process of deciding what system to buy; Xbox One or PS4. The PS4 at the time was getting better reviews, however my live account was with Xbox 360. After trying in vain to get information on fixing my phone (a phone I loved) I bought a Xbox One. The way Sony's support staff treated me and avoided talking to me (nearly 2 hours on hold between 3 phone calls) I simply felt it was not a company that would be dependable in the future if I had any further problems. I had already thrown $400 dollars away on one of their products, I was unwilling to double down knowing how their staff would treat my future concerns.

  • IPhone 4S broken front and back glass with AppleCare

    What can apple store do for unlocked  4s under AppleCare with cracked front and back glass?

    They can replace your phone for $199. Standard AppleCare does not cover accidental damage at all. On the plus side, your AppleCare policy will carry over to the replacement phone.

  • I have bent and broken the glass case rear and front but my i phone 5 still works what do i do

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • My iPhone4 loses signal and when I do hard reset, I can't send or receive SMS and calls. I have to back-up and restore weekly!

    It started last month before I ungraded to iOS5. So my network provider advised me to upgrade. It fixed the problem but it happens again after several days. I lose signal then when I do hard reset, signal is back but I can't send or receive SMS or make and receive calls. But from the other end my phone is ringing but nothing is happening to my phone.This is really frustrating! Coz it happens weekly and the only way to fix it is to back-up and restore. Which is a hassle coz it takes me about 3 hours! Please help. My phone is still under warranty but the provider is telling me it might take them 3 months to check and fix.
    I think there is a bug with the iOS5 coz it happen when it I upgraded. Before I was quite happy with my iPhone4 but now it has become a source of anxiety and stress. I've received a lot of complaints at work coz they couldn't contact me.

  • I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website. How can I backup my data?

    I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website in contacts etc. As I can enter my pin I cannot connect it to a laptop. Is there anyway of backinh up my data, pictures etc?

    No there isn't. If you check iCloud, you are not showing any backups at all? Did you have the phone set to sync contacts in iCloud, or were you just backing up to iCloud? If you were just backing up, then you should be able to access the backup, but if you were not syncing, then you probably cannot see the contacts in iCloud. You would have to wait until you restore from the backup to see them. You will probably have to go onto the iCloud website to erase and remove the device from Find My iPhone if you want to clear it off.

  • My front screen of my iphone 4 is cracked and if I bring it in to be fixed can I replace the front and back glass with a different color?

    I recently dropped my iphone 4 and cracked the front screen if I brought it in to be fixed can I get both the front and back glass replaced with a different color?

    No. They will not. The replacement will be identical to the old one. You always have the option of buying a brand new phone for the full retail price.

    Apple does not sell parts. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts. Take it to your local Apple Store.
