Can I get my Iphone 4s replaced?

Hello,
What types of reasons will Apple replace a Iphone?  I recieved my Iphone 4s on the first day of release and it always seemed like something was wrong with it. The phone has to search for a signal for awhile when first booting and occasionally even though it says I have 3g it says I'm not connected to a network. My Iphone also gets really hot for just surfing the web or something simple but this doesn't always occur. I have made sure to close out all running apps but it still runs hot regardless and I have also reset my network settings and my phone a few times but that hasn't helped either when the problems do occur. Recently my wifi doesn't always work even though it says it has a full connection so I end up having to turn it off then it works again in 3g but if I turn wifi back on it doesn't work again. Like I said this doesn't happen all the time but it happens enough since I've had it that I'm convinced something isn't right. I'm hoping to take it to the genius bar like I did with my 3gs and hopefully they will replace it. So will they replace it if the problems don't actually occur when I bring it to the genius bar?

Thank you for your quick response and I will try doing that today and see what happens. Hopefully it isn't defective but if these problems do continue to occur I will bring it to the genius bar to have them test it. I had a great experience at the genius bar the first time I went and I know they will help me anyway they can to figure out the problem.

  • Can I get an iPhone 5C replacement outside my country?

    Guys, I'm from the U.S. but I'm currently stranded in Canada due to other complications. My iPhone 5C suddenly died on me and we've pretty much determined that the LCD is dead and that I need to go to the Apple Store to get it replaced.
    1. Will it cost me? I don't have warranty and I just feel really cheated that this would happen in my dire time of need, when my cellphone is one of my very few life lines at the moment. My phone is not jailbroken and it just randomly went black and died on me.
    2. Whether it will cost me or not, can I get a replacement even though I'm from a different country? Or can I not because the U.S. and Canadian 5Cs are different?

    I just feel cheated by life I guess? I've never had a glaring random happening like this. I've dropped it in water ONCE, and I owned up to it and paid a hefty fine to replace it. But being stranded and my phone being one of my few forms of communication..for it to suddenly go out like this? I just feel really cheated by life and my phone. I know it sounds odd but argh...
    But thanks anyway guys. Guess I gotta wait.

  • Can I get my iPhone 4 replaced (in New Delhi, India) if it is out of Apple's 1-year limited warranty?

    My iPhone 4 is around 2 years old now, and it has been working pretty well. But from a few weeks, I am facing problems in the touchscreen. First, the bottom left corner went unresponsive (making me tilt the phone everytime I needed to insert a symbol). The a few days back the entire left edge of the screen got dead. And today, even the bottom edge of the screen has become unresponsive to touch. So you see, the defect is spreading. Typing on my dear phone has become a pain. I have taken utmost care of my phone and the screen is *scratchless*. I have never dropped my phone. There has been no physical damage AT ALL.
    I have seen many discussions where the phone got replaced by a brand new one, but most of then have been in the USA. I am living in New Delhi, India and I would like to know if any such replacement schemes are available here. And if yes, are they applicable in my case? If not replaceable, how much will a new touchscreen cost my pocket here in India?

    If your iPhone was sourced originally in India

    pick India from the drop down menu to understand your service options
    If the iPhone originated from another country you may have problems

  • How can I get an iphone to replace my mom's old phone without activating it until she opens it?

    The guy at the store was a real jerk.  He said I could not get the new phone and delay the switch or activate it myself, that once I got her the new phone I could not leave the store without activating it and turning off her existing phone!  He was very rude about it and truly made me dislike the Apple store.  I had done this once before, but now thinking back I think I ordered the upgrade online.  He called me a liar and said I had done no such thing in the past that it was impossible.  I asked if I could do it if I just bought the phone full price and he said no.  He said there is no humanly possible way to buy an iphone that was not activated at the time of purchase, and if I wanted to keep her existing phone number there was no way to do it with her phone staying on until the day we gave her the new one that the minute I buy her the new phone her old one will be turned off.
    This seems wrong and not the best marketing for Apple. 
    So is he right?  Can you no longer get a new or upgraded phone as a surprise for someone?
    We have to go in now before the party to do the switch so we can get her the surprise but keep her phone on (except for maybe an hour before she opens the present and hopefully she doesn't get stranded on the road on teh way to the party in that no phone service window!...)

    I will assume you are in the U.S. (only because I don't know how this works in other countries).  I will also assume you know your mom's current cellular carrier, want to stay with that carrier, and that is a carrier that works with Apple iPhone under contract (AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint).
    Certainly if an iPhone is ordered through the Apple Store online, it doesn't have to be activated until the purchaser is ready to activate it.  Activation is accomplished by iTunes when setting up the iPhone.
    These days, it is possible to order an iPhone from the Apple Store online, and have it made available for pickup at the Apple Store (instead of delivering it to a home or office).
    So, bottom line, the new iPhone would be ready to go with a pre-determined phone number and carrier, purchased at the (subsidized) carrier rate, and become activated when the purchaser is ready to do so by plugging into iTunes.
    I think that's exactly what you are trying to do, and exactly what you have been told is not possible.  I don't believe for a minute it's not possible (given the assumptions in my first paragraph).
    I hope that helps.

  • HT1863 Can I get my iphone 4s replaced for broken glass in India purchased in canada

    I have damaged my front glass of iphone 4S purchased in canada.
    But want to either replace or repair in india. Is there any options
    available having normal limited warranty during time of purchase
    valid till Nov 22, 2012.

    The warranty does not include accidental damage. Even if it did, it is not an international warranty, and the phone would have to be returned to Canada.  Canada will not deal with addresses or credit cards outside Canada.
    Get it repaired by a third party, or buy a new one. In india.

  • Where can I get my iPhone 5 sleep/wake button replaced in Jordan?

    Hello,
    I bought my iPhone 5 factory unlocked here in Jordan and a while ago I started having problems with the sleep/wake button so I went to Apple's website and found out about the replacement program and when I entered my iPhone's serial number I get this:
    "The iPhone 5 serial number you entered is eligible for this program. Please follow the instructions below to have your sleep/wake button replaced."
    BUT there is no Apple Retail Store anywhere in Jordan ?? So where can I get my iPhone fixed??

    Hi Dema.
    There is an Authorised Apple Retailer in Jordan, it's just that it isn't that well known. I've just had my iPhone 5 replaced, free of charge, even though I'd bought it from Saudi Arabia. The store's called iSystem, it's at the end of Al Wakalat Street. Take a U-turn just before the 7th circle on your way from the 6th circle, then take your first right, then another right. There should be a complex on your right. Climb down the stairs and you're there. They have excellent service, although it took 3 weeks for them to get my phone replaced.
    Good luck.

  • How can I get new iphone I broke the other one

    How can I get new iphone I broke the other one

    What do you mean "you broke it"?
    If you dropped it you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $269 USD.

  • I have broken iPhone 5s if i pay 100 euro can i  get new iPhone 6.

    i have broken iPhone 5s.and if i pay 100 euro can i get new iPhone 6.
    thanks

    Doesn't matter how much you pay.
    You can do an out-of-warranty charge replacement for the same phone you have, for whatever price Apple has set in your home country.  You cannot use that as an excuse for Apple to upgrade you.

  • How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

    How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

    Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
    Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
    You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
    Hope that helps...
    If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.

    Have you transferred your iTunes library from your computer's backup to your new computer along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.?

  • How can i get my iphone, from the disable mode

    how can i get my iphone 3gs, out of the disable mode?

    If your phone is disabled because you forgot your passcode, restore the phone on the last computer it was synced with. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • Firstly, I can't open iPhoto on my macbook as of a few days and could it have anything to do with a problem I have updating my iPhone's software as I've downloaded extra iCloud storage but I still can't get the iPhone to recognise the space for software

    Firstly, I can't open iPhoto on my macbook as of a few days and could it have anything to do with a problem I have updating my iPhone's software as I've downloaded extra iCloud storage but I still can't get the iPhone to recognise the space for software

    No. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    For the iPhone issue ask in the iPhone forum.

  • If you can't get your Iphone to sync or show up in itunes look here!!!!!!!

    FOUND THE ANSWER!!
    Apparently when you plug your iPhone in to your computer, Windows will "sometimes" install the drivers as a camera, putting them in the wrong place. This is why it will pop up in Windows so you can take photos off, but iTunes can't see it. SO, what you have to do is move the driver file (USBAAPL.SYS) to the correct location. Follow the directions I found below & your iTunes should be fixed (worked for me):
    What works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:
    1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in
    and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really
    matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).
    2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:
    o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)
    o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).
    o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!
    You should find the driver info in a sub folder of
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B
    Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder
    name into note pad – you’ll need it later)
    If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not
    been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.
    3. Locate the ipod-camera device:
    o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >
    Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager
    o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as
    ‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.
    4. Update the driver:
    o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on
    ‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.
    o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’
    o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check
    ‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.
    In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder
    containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example
    above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B),
    then click Next.
    You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue
    installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come
    to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.
    If for some reason this doesn't work, try downloading the file here:
    http://www.runscanner.net/files/sys...sbaapl.sys.aspx
    And putting it here:
    C:\ WINDOWS\ system32\ drivers\ usbaapl.sys

    It's still not working. I went through every step and still can't get my Iphone to show up on my itunes.
    Though I did find that the USB driver is not listed under any devices...
