Broken phone...warranty...etc HELP!

Hi there,
I bought my BB8520 in India in June last year, have receiptt etc...I am now in the UK and the trackpad is completely broken. Please can someone tell me if there is some sort of Customer Support centre I can contact and if I can send the phone to somewhere in the UK to get it fixed/replaced? Really really frustrated as phone has been broken now for 2 months and I am unable to get any information on the above queries...
Thank you!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Typically, your warranty is serviced by your original place of purchase, not by RIM directly (at least not front line). But, I've heard of BB Service Centers (at least, that's what other posters have said) in various places, so maybe what you desire exists. You should probably contact your original place of purchase anyway just to be sure you are following whatever protocol you agreed to when you bought it.
Good luck!

Don't see photos from icloud. Replaced broken 4s w/new phone. Help! How do I get photos back? They don't show up on icloud online but phone says broken phone was backed up yesterday under manage storage. How do I use this backup?

Please help. Replaced broken phone w/new 4s. I did as the genius bar guy said and did reset>erase all content and settings at home because he said it would take too long in the store. Last time I had to replace my phone, all the photos and video were there. Now they're not. I had set up icloud but when i typed in "my restore from icloud", nothing came up. I NEED those pictures and videos. They're the last photos and videos I have of my mother who passed away recently. Please I need them back. I feel like I've lost her all over again. Please someone help. I went to icloud>storage & backup>manage storage and i see that those pictures were backed up yesterday yet I don't see any pictures or picture icon in icloud.com. Please someone help me get those pictures back. They're priceless and they're the last I have left of my mother.

If this is your first sync and there is already data on the phone, perform the steps listed below. This will transfer your apps and other media purchased from the iTunes store to your iTunes library, perform a manual backup and restore, then sync the iTunes media back to the phone from your iTunes library. This will not transfer media from other sources such as music from your ripped CDs. As you said you never synced before, I assume all of your apps, music and other media was purchased from the iTuens and App stores. If this is correct, you won't lose anything.
Download and install iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/.
Launch iTunes, go to the View menu and click to check Show Sidebar.
Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices if using Windows) and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Go to Store>Authorize This Computer and authorize all Apple IDs used to purchase apps and other iTunes media (music, podcasts, movies, tv shows, etc.) on your phone.
On her phone, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and turn iCloud Backup to Off.
Connect her phone to your computer and in iTunes go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your purchased media to your iTunes library.
Right-click on the name of the phone on the left side of iTunes and click "Reset Warnings".
Right-click on the name of the phone again and click "Back Up" to back up the phone.
Right-click again and choose "Restore from Backup...", select the backup you just made to restore from and restore the backup to your phone. If prompted to back up again, decline.
Go to the Info tab and make sure nothing is checked so you aren't syncing calendars, contacts, etc. with iTunes.
Go to the Summary tab and select This Computer under Automatically Back Up.
Check the other tabs to confirm that your sync settings are the way you want them.
Click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

If the old laptop was a mac also, then use your Time Machine backup to restore you user settings and files.

I know of no way to remove encryption on iTunes backups if you've forgotton the password. If you've used the 4 digit PIN code to lock your iPhone in the past that can sometimes default as your "password" for this encryption in iTunes. Try that PIN or any PIN you've used in the past. If you don't use a lock maybe you played around with that feature once when you first got your phone....try "1,2,3,4" or anything you could have possibly tried.
As far as accessing older unencrypted backups you can try this software. I do not have any experience using it but it seems like it's what you need and is probably the easiest route for both voicemail and texts:

If you want to try to find voicemails using Terminal, I found this link as well:
http://mikereys.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/iphone-backup-restoring-visual-voice-ma il/
I know with AT&T, voicemails are only stored on their servers for 30 days so any voicemail older than that you would not have been able to access again.
Best of luck.

Downloaded and installed 5.0.1, killed my phone, finally able to restore but lost all apps, photos, etc. help

Downloaded and installed 5.0.1, killed my phone, finally able to restore but lost all apps, photos, etc. help. Everything I need is on my iTunes page but I cannot sync with iPhone4. Any ideas how I can sync?

If your phone is in recovery mode, you've already lost ALL of the data on the phone. Your only choice now is to restore it from your most recent backup. You follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Any data, on your phone, not backed up or in supported applications on your computer, is gone. iTunes content you can re-download for free.

Hi
my i phone 5's front screen is broken so can you help me that

There are many authorized repair centers around. You could take your iPhone there (it won't be cheap). You could also attempt to repair it yourself, following a few YouTube videos on how to do so. (there's a risk).
Personally, if you have cash, I'd go to a repair center.

It can only be serviced / replaced in the country where it was originally sold. All service and support in UAE is provided by the authorized carriers there. Take it in to the carrier it was purchased from for service.

Hi Gazpan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend using the steps in this article to back up your iPhone if possible:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You may also find this advice helpful for your situation:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
If you no longer have your iOS device
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.
Cheers,
Jeremy

What's the fastest way to get a broken phone replaced?

Summary:
What a joke. Clearly broken iPhone, but when I get to the store, no one will help me. I have to make an appointment with a "Genius" and come back later. In the meantime, no phone for me.
Anyone know the secret code to get timely help with a broken iPhone?
Details:
iPhone crashed yesterday around 5:00. Wouldn't go past Apple logo. Using the recovery mode, I have:
- Restored using my backup.
- Deleted my backup and restored to a "new phone".
- Re-downloaded and re-installed iTunes, deleted my backup, and restored to a new phone.
- Uninstalled iTunes, deleted all ipsw files, redownloaded and reinstalled iTunes and restored to a "new phone"
After each of these, the situation is the same. The phone works (albeit very slowly and unevenly) until I turn it off (off off, not standby). When I turn it back on, stuck at the apple logo again.
So now I sit at the apple store, hoping someone will miss their appointment and I can sneak in off the standby list. What a joke. I'm definitely going to have to swing by the at&t store and see about switching to a phone that has adequate support when it breaks. I love the iPhone interface, but with a complete meltdown in the first 6 weeks of ownership and the long wait to see someone to get it replaced, it's just not reliable enough as a phone (not to mention the fact that the 3G really isn't ready for primetime). Sigh.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar - http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ . You can also do it in store on any of the Macs there. It beats sitting around hopping a slot will open up.
I did both - I scheduled the earliest available appointment, but it was hours away and I needed my phone, so I tried waiting for a hour or so as well.

See my answer to your last post.
Are you some sort of VIP that I don't know about? Why should you get to just walk in and have your problem solved when others made a Genius Bar appointment and showed up for it.
I don't think I'm better than anyone else. I think anyone with a broken phone should be able to get immediate assistance. I wasn't looking for training in how to use my phone, or assistance with some obscure functionality - the freaking thing wouldn't turn all the way on and couldn't be used for it's primary purpose, that of a mobile phone.

I suppose you do the same thing when walking into a doctor's office without making an appointment and expect him to see you about your cholesterol being high? You'd go into an ER for an emergency like a broken arm but you're gonna have to wait in line just like everyone else unless it's a life-threatening condition.
See my response above. If my phone wasn't "feeling well", I could live with waiting to talk to someone. But my phone was in a persistent vegitative state and deserving of urgent care.
The one time I had a problem with my Motorola RAZR, I walked into an at&t store and the next available person helped me out (by replacing the nonfunctional phone). I didn't have to make an appointment with a special subset of the staff. I would expect Apple, the actual manufacturer (and, in my case, vendor) of the phone to at least meet the standard that at&t sets for phones they don't even manufacture.
And I hope for the sake for Apple's enterprise penetration plans that they don't share your misconception that this is just a matter of "hampering my lifestyle". It's a matter of interrupting mission critical infrastructure functionality.

I just brought a apple protection plan as my phone warranty is going to end in a day, when i am trying to enter the protection plan code and my phone serial no its showing an error message try after some time is there any solution to that?

i just brought a apple protection plan as my phone warranty is going to end in a day, after entering the protection plan code and my phone serial no its showing an error message "technical error try after some time", is there any solution for that?
As i need the warranty to extend for another year please help me regarding this issue.
When i bought a new iphone5 in Inda after using it for three days lock button was not working properly and it was warranty claimed and exchanged from apple service center in India, for the same phone I want to extend the warranty but its showing a error message is there any solution?

Here is some information on the applecare +:
http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
It appears that you have to buy the applecare within 30 days of buying your phone - you said that your phone warranty is almost over, so when did you buy it??? That could be the explanation for the error.

After a Windows 8.1 automatic update yesterday my other wireless devices like smart phones, tablets, etc can't use my routers wireless signal unless my laptop is turned on

Hi guys, please help, I'm desperate.
After an automatic update to my windows 8.1 yesterday none of my other other wireless devices like smart phones, tablets, etc. can join my wireless network unless my laptop is turned on. If I turn my laptop off, after a couple of minutes my iphone,
my wife's iphone and my Galaxy Tab lose connection and are unable to join my router's network. When I turn my laptop back on, all the other devices are able to use my router's wireless internet without any problems. How can I fix this???
Thanks.

Hi,
First, I suggest to reset the router, meanwhile disable the network card and enable it again, because it is obviously network issue.
Then, as you post this happened after windows update, try to find the update that was already installed on your computer
Restore your computer by following the way listed below:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
Hide the update if it is not an important one and related to wireless internet according to this article:

I hope it works for you .

It is prohibited under the terms of Use to offer support or discuss jailbreaking. Sorry, but no one can help you so there is little point posting the same question more than once.

Broken phone. Still in contract. Can I pay ETF and sign back up with Edge?

Please help me with the best option for my situation: I have a broken phone and about a year left on my contract. I ultimately would like to get on edge when I ge ta new phone. Would I be able to pay the early termination fee to get out of my contract and then sign back up with edge on my same family plan? Is there a better option for me?

vette311,
Ouch, sorry to hear about your phone. Let's find out what the best option would be to get you into a new device. Is they device physically broken? Is there water damage to the phone? If you have insurance on the line you can always make a claim: http://bit.ly/07CrqPK
When are you actually able to upgrade on your line? You can always check that by dialing #UPG from the Verizon Wireless device. Or you can always log onto your My Verizon to check the date as well. Please keep us posted.

Sync photos from broken phone

Does anyone know if there is a way to sync my photos from a broken phone onto the cloud? I have an S5, screen is not working and I'm trying to sync the photo from my old one to the cloud and I'm not sure how to do it. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry to learn that your screen is not working, smith7mh. Since you don't have a working screen, have you tried downloading the desktop application for Verizon Cloud to sync your device? http://spr.ly/658444w6

Try resetting your phone. Hold the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears, then release both buttons and allow the phone to restart. No data will be lost.
