Dropped and dented iphone 6 plus - ?selective 4g radio damage

I dropped and dented my iPhone 6 plus 3 months ago, but it worked perfectly after. I changed my giffgaff SIM to an EE SIM yesterday and ever since have been unable to access any data functions, despite good connection and 4g in the status bar (I can make and receive calls and texts). It worked fine for the three months up to yesterday.
My SIM works fine in someone else's iPhone 6 plus and his SIM does not allow data access in mine (although works fine in his own phone).
Is it possible to selectively damage the 4g radio?
If so, why did phone work fine until I changed SIMs yesterday.
I've all the usual reset network settings, and overnight will restore the phone to factory settings to see whether a software problem.
Anyone else have experience of this?

Last night restored phone back to factory settings, then set up as a new phone and lo and behold, the EE SIM card now works fine - i.e. a software problem after all

  • How to use my iPhone 4 to select Internet radio stations on MacBook Pro

    Okay, once again I return here to seek guidance and wisdom.  Fellow members here told me about Air Video, a terrific set of programs for iOS and OS X to stream videos from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4.  It is awesome!
    Now, my other need (?).  I want to run something on my Mac that lets me select Internet radio station streams like TuneIn for ex., but I want to be able to change selections on whatever is on the Mac from the iPhone 4.  What I want to do is use the iPhone 4 as a remote for the app on the Mac which I want to connect to either some external speakers or someday to a real external Dac, amp, and speakers.
    I have the TuneIn Pro app on my iPhone 4 already and on the Mac via browser have accessed their website.
    Now someone surely is going to mention Airplay or something to stream from the iPhone4.  From the cost of Airplay capable hardware, I just can't afford it yet.  Maybe if I could find Bluetooth speaker or device?
    One other thing to throw in for thought.  I have not only iTunes on my MacBook Pro, but also Fidelia and Amarra, and thinking about Decibel or Audirvana.  In other words somewhat hi-def music output quality available on the Mac.  So....I do have a remote app for Fidelia and think there's one for either Decibel or Audirvana, so that brings me back to Internet radio on the MacBook Pro.  If I can find a way to use the iPhone 4 to select an app on the Mac for Internet radio, I can play those plus hi-def music via one of those programs.
    I probably didn't say all that right, but I hope you can decipher what I am asking about.
    If nothing else, can you recommend inexpensive Bluetooth speakers to play radio from the iPhone4?  I was hoping to buy some AudioEngine powered speakers for the Mac, hence the desire to run all sound/music through that device but using the iPhone4 as control device.

    Hi Starbux48
    First off. The benefits of using Amarra, Pure Music, Audirvana or whatever, can only be heard if you have a true audiophile system set-up. Think of systems starting from 5000 U$. Then only if your music files are high resolution. Think ALAC or FLAC, AIFF or Wave.  For all other music playing the itunes set-up suffices. So the better idea for you will be playing the music over your macbook.
    Mountain lion offers airplay for intel based macs. You can use this. If you install the free Remote App. on your iPhone, you can use that to control itunes on your Macbook via wifi/Airplay. The remote app offers you the view of itunes on your Macbook and the screen of your Macbook changes with what you do on your iPhone. So you can even control the itunes radiostation from your iPhone.
    If you have an older, non-intel macbook, you can install airserver on your macbook. This will set you back 15 dollars or so, but will basically do the same.

  • Dropped and Scratched iPhone 3G

    The day I bought my iPhone 3G I dropped it. It still works as it should but now I have a nasty scratch on the back of it. I'm sure Apple won't take it back for an exchange like that. I don't even think they will let me return it. I am curious, if I wanted to buy another 3G iPhone and activate it, can I keep the same number? I would like to just sell my scratched iPhone 3G on eBay or something for someone else to use.
    Hm what do you think my options are?

    Yes, you can keep your number with any new phone. You just need to pull the SIM card of your existing one and put it in the new one.
    Though I doubt you'll be eligible for any upgrade or special pricing on a replacement. Full price for a new phone, without upgrade pricing, is $399.99 and $499.99 for 8GB and 16GB, respectively. Pretty steep just to get rid of a scratch. Personally, I'd throw a case on there and pretend the scratch didn't exist.

  • My ipod has been dropped and dented on the side and screen cracked. after i replace the screen will it still work?

    any ideas?

    Dropping an iPod + a dent on one side is no big deal at all
    It can be a bid deal if the size(dimensions) of the iPod has changed. Although chances of that happening are very less or even 1 in a million; so you can very well go ahead and replace the screen.
    I am taking into consideration that the touch function still works - even with the shattered screen!
    Good Luck.
    Please rate helpful posts. Thanks!

  • Upgrading from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 Plus after Water Damage

    My iPhone 5 fell in water back in October of 2014. I placed the phone in a bag of rice for 3 days
    straight when it happened. It dried out fine and worked like nothing happened. Didn't matter I had
    to upgrade to the iPhone 6 Plus anyways since it was released around that time. I decided to leave
    my last existing backup on my computer (that I did before the phone dropped in water), and not backup
    the phone after the water drop. Because the data could potentially be corrupt due to the oxidization of
    components inside. Long story short I have the iPhone 6 plus now I got yesterday.
    What I need to know:
    My iPhone 5 still works but obviously it now doesn't have a working sim card. There are apps I wanted to
    take snapshots of, or files I wanted to export from various places from after the water drop happened (which
    I never backed up for reasons mentioned above. I already did a backup restore to the new iPhone 6 Plus from
    the backup file made prior to the water drop. The iPhone 6 Plus is working flawlessly.
    Can I use both phones at the same time with the apps going at the same time? Or will their be a weird
    lockout conflict of sorts? Remember one phone has a working sim, but the apps will be the same as the
    old phone and I don't want to use both at the same time if it will cause problems.

    It won't cause problems to use both. Of course without a sim card in the iPhone 5 it will be just a glorified iPod touch now and will have no access to cellular networks, sms, etc. But it will at least work, and any apps that can run over wifi will continue to work as before.
    You might find an app like iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com) useful for getting any remaining info off your iPhone 5 and onto your new iPhone 6 Plus.

  • Iphone 6 plus crashing

    My Iphone 6 plus is in space grey and is 128gb i have owned it for one week. everytime i have it plugged in to the USB socket in my 2013 renault megane coupe it ends up in a crash re-start cyclical state that just keeps going even when i un-plug from the car - the same lead charges ok at home from the mains and on my pc. my iphone 5 charges fine in the car.
    I have to reboot my hanset to make it stop.
    i am running the latest up dated ios 8.1 but this appears to be a software issue related to the car?
    I have seen similar issues on here.
    I have an appointment with apple this Friday so hopefully it will get sorted?
    Last dealings with Apple and 02 were a little annoying to be honest but see how it goes!

    I did not have this issue for 2 weeks of ownership.  I changed a couple of things and my iPhone 6 plus starting rebooting.  I went back to my original settings and the reboots stopped.  Below is what I did, hopefully this helps.
    1.)  Ensure you under 110 apps total on your iPhone 6 plus
    2.)  Unchecked "sync this iPhone over WiFi" in iTunes (i think this is the issue!!!)
    3.)  Select Automatically back up via iCloud
    3.)  Ensure all apps have synced and loaded from any syncs
    4.)  Ensure all audiobooks have synced too

  • Iphone 6 plus for wifi hotspot

    I used to use the data on my iphone to use my iPad when I was with a different carrier now that switched to Verizon and using iPhone 6 plus I cant use it as a wifi hotspot anymore. Called Verizon but not much help. Is there anyway I can still use my phone as wifi hotspot? Please help.

    Hi AlexaW! Help has arrived! My apologies you didn't receive the assistance you deserve when you called us directly. Great news! You can certainly use your iPhone 6 Plus as a hotspot to connect your other devices such as tablets, laptops, etc.. What type of plan do you have currently? With all of our More Everything Plans, the mobile hotspot is included.
    You'll go to your iPhone 6 Plus and go to Settings > Personal Hotspot > Tap on the button to turn on > and then you'll be able to see the Wi-Fi (mobile hotspot) connection on your tablet, etc.. If you are not on the More Everything Plan, then we can add on the mobile hotspot feature for you. Keep us posted! Thanks so much for being our loyal customer!
