Can a screen protector damage an iPhone 4s screen?
Just purchased a new iPhone 4s and have heard different views on whether or not to use a screen protector. Some say it can damage the screen, other say it is not necessary. Others say use one. Looking for more answers.
Hi Paddler... I've always had screen protectors on all my iPhones, never had any damage on the screen because of them. I know people that don't use them on there iPhone 4 and 4S's and there screens still look imaculate (apart from the occasional smeer or finger print). However I dont wanna take the chance, not after just paying out £600.
Here's a link for the one's I have always use, they sell them in the apple store and you get two in a pack.

Will screen protectors damage my iPhone and iPad?
Hai I'm new to Communities so bear with me
I just got my first iPhone, and iPhone 5, back in May of this year. I also have an iPad 3 and an iMac 2012. I also just learned about the oleophobic coating Apple puts in every product to avoid fingerprints and scratches. It *****, because I've had a screen protector, and adhesive screen protector mind you, installed on my iPad for a full year, forgot the brand of the protector, and I also have a standard Tech Armor one for my iPhone. I was wondering, will removing the screen protectors now also remove the oleophobic coating in each product? Tell me that I can at least save my iPhone from this.
Thanks in advanceHi rjaso,

I damaged my iPhone 5c can I exchange it for a new one?
I Damaged my iphone 5c , can I exchange it for a new one?
Accidental damage is not covered by the warranty. If the screen is damaged, certain Apple Stores can replace the screen for $149. If something else is damaged or your local Apple Store does not offer screen replacements, they will replace the phone for $269.

i damaged my iphone 5 and have been sent a new one, but i do not have enough storage to back up my phone and do not want to pay for more storage. can i get all of my contacts, photos, etc. on my new phone just by logging into my icloud account?
Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud. If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now). Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier. -
Water damage to iphone screen not working
I need to back up to icloud, but my touch screen not working. Siri is working, i can text. Is there any other way to backup contacts to icloud without touch screen?
UUsually when a phone gets wet you put it in a bag of uncooked rice for 5 to 7 days, but that doesn't guarantee that it will work.
you can get an out of warrant iPhone at the Apple store. -
why can't i connect to my iphone after updating to 7.1.1? i don't even get the screen that lets me login into my apple account??? plz help my phone was stolen and through help of the police i recovered it and now i can't access my phone
You must have had find my iPhone on, or it was locked by your phone carrier.
Call your our cell carrier first.
then log on to a computer to iCloud to erase your iPhone.
NOW... You will be able to setup with a backup. -

i have a iphone 4 can and its severly damaged can i goto the apple store and they give me a replacement even if i didnt buy it there?
You can see about purchasing an out of warranty replacement if it qualifies. They certainly will not give you a replacement, since it is more than likely user damage.

I was wondering what can be done to fix my iphone i love the poor device and refuse to use any other phone. the screen does not light up at all and idk what is the problem but it connects to itunes and comes up on my laptop with all the contents listed when connected with usb just no screen activity help please
There are many ways to back up photos and contacts on an iPhone:
Photos - copy them to your computer with a USB cable; the phone will appear in Windows or Mac as a digital camera.
Photos - Enable Photo Stream, which saves them to iCloud and syncs to your computers(s)
Contacts - set to sync to any contact app on your computer (e.g., Outlook, Address Book)
Contacts - Enable sync to iCloud. This is real time and will always be up to date
Everything on the phone (including contacts and photos) - Back up to iTunes on your computer
Everything on the phone - Back up to iCloud
All of these are described in the manual.
If you did not do ANY of these then the contents are already lost. -
HT4437 Can I stream video from my Iphone 4 to a regular flat screen tv?
Can I stream video from my Iphone 4 to a regular flat screen tv?
The mini-Displayport is for output only — you can't feed a signal into it. I suppose there's a chance that this ability may become available through the Thunderbolt port in the 2011 and later models, but we'll have to wait and see.

If I turn on the wifi during airplane mode, can this damage my iPhone 3Gs in someway?
If I turn on the wifi during airplane mode, can this damage my iPhone 3Gs in someway? I sometimes would like to turn of the company signal, but at the same time I would like to use the internet; without taking our the SIM card. Can this damage my iPhone in any form? It would be grateful your help!
"If I turn on the wifi during airplane mode, can this damage my iPhone 3Gs in someway?"
No. This is a normal feature of the iphone. It is intended to work this way. -
My screen is black and i can hear the sounds on my iphone 4s - what should i do.
my screen is black and i can hear the sounds on my iphone 4s - what should i do. i have tried to restart and i still doesnt work
I had the same issue with my 2008 iMac and Apple support walked me through the fix yesterday...
1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).
Apparently it's an issue with an automatic update that never quite got past the login screen.
Hope this helps! -
Should you put a screen protector on the iphone if the case is going to be a otterbox defender?
I am trying to figure out if I need a screen protector on my iphone 4s if I am using a Otterbox Defender. The salesman suggested I should but I know a lot of people who do not use any screen protection on other cases/shells.
I never used a screen protector while my iPhone was in the Defender case. The Otterbox case is engineered to protect your device. I'm not sure why the salesman suggested you use both. I used the Otterbox Defender case for a little over a year and my iPhone was flawless when I removed it. Hope this helps.
