Has Anyone sent the iphone in for repair for the low volume issue ???

I called apple last week and spoke with a level on support agent. After he could not solve the volume issue they sent me to level two. the level two tech took the call and told me right away that they were going to send me a new phone. I give him my credit card as a deposit so they would send a new phone and when I had the new phone I could then send the old one back. Well after a few days I called to check on the phone and found out he never placed the order and now they say they want to send it for repair some place in Texas. They did offer the rent me a phone for 29.00 while I wait for repair. I told them no rental for me. How bad is that, a hardware issue and they say they are going to send a new phone and never do then they offer a repair and to rent me a phone. I was wondering if anyone had sent in the phone for this issue yet. I do not think I am going to send it in and I think I am going to get my refund while I still can. I just thought I would check to see if anyone had sent the phone in for repair yet and how it worked out.

How are any of us (Apple users just like you) supposed to have any idea?
We weren't there.  We don't know the specifics of what happened to your iPhone.
Ask the store that repaired it.

  • Has anyone sent their iPhone to be repaired only to get it back with the same problems it had before it was sent off?

    Hi all.
    I reported two problems to Apple about my iPhone 4S. The first being that the 3G stopped working (my phone has never been dropped, damaged or gotten wet) and the second that it keeps making a random and incessant beeping sound that can only be described as a "warning tone" even though no notification pops up on the screen and after going through all of the preset tones on the phone, I couldn't find one that matches.
    I know that it's not my service provider's fault in regards to the 3G as I've put my SIM card in a friend's iPhone who is on the same network and the 3G worked perfectly fine.
    This isn't my gripe, my gripe is that after having explained this to Apple and sending them my phone (I still have about 40 days of my one year warranty), I received it back a few days later with the exact same problems!!!
    Has anyone else sent their iDevice off to get "fixed" only to find out that all they did was repackage your item and send it back to you?

    See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. Select restore from backup, follow by syncing your itunes content.

  • Has anyone solved the "garbled characters" issue i...

    When I use Nokia Maps on my N95, all streets and towns which contain special characters such as: é, è, ü, ä, ö, etc… do appear garbled. For example,
    Zürich appears as: Zã¼rich
    München appears as: Mã¼nchen
    Liège appears as: Liã"ge
    I saw a couple posts on this forum where people suggested to format the memory card, some other suggested to reload the firmware (my N95 has 12.0.013) but nothing has helped. I went as far as using someone's PC whose WinXP is installed in French - I thought that maybe the operating system or regional settings could have some influence, but I was wrong.
    Has anyone solved this extremely annoying issue?
    Thx

    I solved it. It took me one evening. I wonder why Nokia haven't published any comments on this old issue.
    Solution can be found below, but before I want to tell about some technical details. Maybe guys at Nokia will read them
    As someone on this forum said before the problem is that map names are in UTF-8 format, but phone tries to show them using another encoding. After some googling I found that this issue is well-known because Nokia phones use ISO 8859-1 (which is similar to Windows-1252, Western European) by default but some application assume UTF-8 to be default.
    At first, I discovered that when I start Nokia map with empty SD card and allow it to download something from internet, all names were shown correctly. I supposed that the problem sits in that awful Map Loader, but I was wrong: it does absolutely nothing special with data files, just downloading and unzipping. And this super-mega-feature-rich-map-loader require about 40Mb to download for .NET 3.0 plus 10 Mb for itself. Never seen anything worse
    So I've started to compare contents of one SD card with incorrect street and city names and another with correct.
    After some time I came across Cachedatheader.cdt file in diskcache folder. And what do you think?
    The file from correct SD card contains a literal string: "UTF-8". While incorrect one contains a string saying "ISO 8859-1". I've nearly fell out of my chair after seeing that.
    I've replaced wrong file with correct one and names became readable on all my 180mb of previously downloaded maps.
    Finally, after playing with it some more I found a simple solution which should work for everyone:
    ***** SOLUTION *****
    1. Enable internet access in Nokia Maps application (set it to When Needed).
    2. Access memory card from your PC and go to "\PRIVATE\20001f66\diskcache" folder.
    3. Delete "CachedatHeader.cdt" file. Perhaps you should backup it somewhere before deleting, but it looks like it can be removed safely without affecting existing maps.
    4. Put the card back in the phone if you extracted it and start Nokia Maps.
    5. Allow Nokia Maps to access internet and try downloading some new locations (you don't need to download much, just let it access server) or searching for something.
    6. Now codepage should be correct and all names become readable.
    This effect seems to be permanent and will stay even if you disable internet access later. Also note that you don't have to format card, remove or reinstall any map files. The problem is just in one small file.
    Nokia Maps recreates missing CachedatHeader.cdt, but it will recreate it correctly only if internet access is enabled when it starts. Probably the best way to avoid wrong codepage problem is to enable internet access at first start of Nokia Maps and use Map Loader only after downloading some bits of map directly from the phone.

  • Has anyone resolved the slow playback issue?

    I've run across a few older posts related to slow playback of Captivate output, but it doesn't look like the issue has been resolved. I'm experiencing the same problem on a random basis.
    At first I thought it was just in the preview mode, so every time I made a change, I published the project to test it. Then the published files started playing back extremely slowly, but not all the time. For example:
    1. I published the project as a swf file, and it played back fine.
    2. I added one slide with a Fade transition and published again. The playback was absurdly slow this time, and I hadn't changed any settings.
    3. Without changing anything, I published again, but I selected the Windows Executable output option. The playback was fine.
    4. I published again, but I switched back to the swf output - it was fine this time.
    5. Tried the Preview feature again. The mouse movement was extremely slow, but the slide transitions weren't as bad - just choppy.
    I'm using Captivate 5.5 on Windows XP. Any thoughts?

    Does the swf play that way on other computers besides your own?

  • Has ANYONE resolved the keyboard backlight issue with the 1.67 15" PB?

    Here is the issue. I got a used PB G4 1.67 G4 off of Craigslist on Thursday night. When I picked it up the owner had done a re-install of the OS and it booted to the intro movie. While standing in the dark parking lot the backlight on the keyboard WAS working. I shut the machine off and got into the car to fill out the registration information and I noticed the backlight was NOT on. I pressed the buttons and nothing. I checked the keyboard and mouse system preference and the ambient lighting on/off was NOT there!
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem or should I just forget about this feature?
    Thank you all for your help.
    Blake

    I thank you for the response. In your case was the control for the lighting missing from the keyboard system prefs? That is what kills me, it worked one minute and not the next and I can't even see the controls for it.
    Thanks again,
    blake

  • Has anyone solved the Safari Crashing Issue on iPad Air

    I am using an iPad Air with iOS 7.0.4 and Safari continues to crash while I am scrolling. I have tried the suggested fix: clear history/cookies/data and then reset the iPad, but that did not fix the problem. I can consistently recreate the crash by doing the following:
    Clear the Safari history/cookies/data (Settings --> Safari)
    Reset the iPad (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for 10 seconds)
    Open Safari
    Open the url https://twitter.com/TimCookAppleCEO
    Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap the "Tap to load more tweets" button.
    Repeat Step # 5 three times
    Attempt to scroll to the top of the page by performing a finger swipe up
    Safari crashes (closes abruptly)

  • Has anyone solved the Apple ID issue yet?

    My 4 year old iTunes ID, a Yahoo email, was disabled as I could not verify it. I could not verify it as I never received the verification email. I get the same problem when I try to reset. iForgot tells me the ID does not exist but when I try to set it up as a new ID I am told it is already in use. I have already removed the email from my .mac Apple ID. Apple support are not responding. Can anyone help? I have a lot of content tied to the Yahoo ID so I can not abandon it.

  • Has anyone solved the start-up issue with the iPad2

    Snice IOS 8 my iPad is difficult to start up.  It requires several pressings of the top button.  And even when the screen first delays, the " slide to open" does not until after several attempts. 
    VEry frustrating and time-consuming.
    i have done resets several times, BTW.
    thanks

    Afraid start up is still rough.  Even more button pressing required to access.  Some apps still reluctant to open.  Either slow or simply won't open. 
    THanks  for your comments.

  • Has anyone tried the Zeiss Screen Eraser on their iphone 5?

    Carl Zeiss company is known for fine optical gear.  When I tried locally to find a flat-weave microfiber cloth for cleaning my iPhone 5, all I could find was a kit with the cloth and a Zeiss Screen Eraser, made for cleaning LCD screens and touch screens.  The Zeiss Screen Eraser contains a soft sponge moistened with a solution that does not contain alcohol or ammonia.  The pictures on the package show what looks like a Kindle or iPad, a Blackberry-type phone, and a laptop.  So far I have resisted trying it on the oleophobic screen of My iPhone 5, using only the microfiber cloth, which by the way is high quality, which you would expect from Zeiss.  I would very much love for Apple to test the Zeiss Screen Eraser and see whether it is safe to use on iPhone screens.  In the meantime, has anyone in the community been brave or foolish enough to test it themselves?  Thank you.

    Here's what Apple recommends:

  • Has anyone purchased the iPhone 4 full retail price?

    I'm currently thinking about purchasing the iPhone at the unsubsidized price which is $700 for the 32GB iPhone 4. But my upgrade is available until May 8 of this year.
    I'm a kinda impatient person but working on being patient but I really do want the iPhone.
    Has anyone bought the iPhone 4 at a unsubsidized price or was it subsidized?
    I'm on a family plan also and my sister line (primary) and my mother line (month to month non contract) is available for upgrade. I can use those I hope...
    Thanks...

    Many people on here have bought the iPhone at the full retail price because their upgrade wasn't up yet. In your situation, I would advise you to wait until May 8th, it's a lot closer than most people's and it's a substantial discount when you wait. You'll save $400. Or as you've pointed out, you can use your sister's or mother's upgrades right now if they don't mind, and then whoever's upgrade you take can use yours on May 8th. That would also be a very good choice, rather than purchasing the full retail iPhone.

    Change your Mac's System Preferences to English and go to the Mac App Store and you should see it for free.
    Otherwise see the Apple Up-To-Date Program:
