How do I use silica gel to dry my iPhone?

I found my phone face down in a wet gutter last night. Not submerged. But it was definitely in water for 90 minutes. I immediately put it deep inside a bag of uncooked rice. I'm on my way to a shop to buy silica gel. Do I need to put the gel in something? If so, what? Can I just put the iPhone into the tub of gel? I've read the posts. I'm probably about to become an owner of a new iPhone. iPhooey. My ibad.

Silica Gel usually comes in a porous bag within a perforated box. Put the bag and the phone in a ziplock bag together. If you buy loose silica gel just put it in the plastic bag, then put the phone on top of it. Try not to get the grains of silica gel in the openings on the phone, as it will be hard to get out.

    My phone has reached the maximum number of free accounts activated where can I buy one to use?

    You can't buy another one.  You have to reuse one of the accounts previously set up on your phone, or create a new one to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

  • How can i use my pc internet on my iphone 4 (ios7) via usb?

    hallo everyone,
    i want get internet from pc on iphone. how can i use my pc internet on my iphone 4 (ios7) via usb? (not iphone internet on pc). help me please

    That is actually pretty easy.
    Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.
    Right mouse click on the Bluetooth system tray icon and select "Add new connection"
    Select your phone ..
    Enter a pincode e.g. 0000
    Enter the same pincode on the phone side as well.
    Click in the "Advanced Modem settings window the "Advanced Modem Settings" button. There should be a string which was auto detected.
    Just confirm the windows until the setup is finished. Open the IE confirm select the just configured DUN connection and browse the internet.
    You need to enter the Advanced modem string manually if it could not be detected. In this case you have to check your ISP website in order to
    find the suitable GPRS or HSDPA string, phone number, username and password for a proper setup. If you enter the wrong data you will encounter
    a connection failed error message.

  • How can I use a bad IMEI AT&T iphone 5 with straight talk ?

    Someone sold me a bad IMEI AT&T iphone 5. I had an AT&T iphone 4 with straight talk prior to buying this phone. I didn't know the IMEI was bad so I bought the iphone 5 hoping to switch. I cut my SIM card and put it into the iphone 5. Everything worked perfectly fine so I went ahead and gave the dude the money. I went to sleep and wake up the next day and try to make a call and I get a message saying my phone has been blocked from the network. I contacted straight talk and they thought it was a problem of theirs so somehow they got my phone to work again. Everything was good , calls, texts , and data. 2 hours later, the same problem happens. So I call straight talk again , tell them the problem. They fix It again, 2 hours later , THE SAME PROBLEM. I gave up this time and began looking for answers. Is there any way I can use this iphone 5 with straight talk ? There was a comment I saw through my search for answers where if I get another straight talk sim everything would work again. Is this true? How can I use a bad IMEI AT&T iphone 5 with straight talk ?

    If that IMEI has been blacklisted by AT&T, then it is blacklisted by all USA carriers, as well as several participating Canadian and Mexican carriers.
    As of 31 October 2012, USA Cellular Providers are sharing a common IMEI/ESN database to ensure that phones blacklisted on one carrier can't be activated on another carrier.  AT&T and T-Mobile are also participating members of the GSM-networks global shared blacklists.

  • HT201407 How do I use my Apple ID after my iPhone's been reactivated?

    Hello, my iPhone 5 was unplugged accidentally while downloading and uprgrading the newest iOS software, causing it to reactivate. When it turned back on eventually it won't unlock unless I enter my Apple ID and password, which now also won't work. What I found was that the Activation Lock is on, cutting off my Apple ID's accessibility to my phone. Anything to help get my phone to turn on again would be more than imaginably appreciated. On top of everything being erased I'm also a college student who doesn't have easy access to a verizon store.

    Activation lock through Find My iPhone is enabled by an Apple ID. What needs to be confirmed is what Apple ID was used to enable this and that the password is correct.
    Have a read over the article below for guidance on how to remove activation lock:

  • How do I use Facetime and Wifi on the Iphone 4.

    I never used wifi on the iphone before and how do I connect to the wifi signal in my house to use facetime? Also if I don't have a password for wifi what do I do? Can I have step by step instructions on what to do please?

    facetime... when you go to contacts and choose who you want to call, you'll see their info and the options by how you want to contact... you'll see facetime, press it and make the call, your contact will receive the facetime call and if they want to except...
    wifi... whenever you choose a wifi which is available and you click on it for the first time, it will ask for a password/passcode if its password protected. when you see the list of wifi networks available you'll notice a little PAD-LOCK icon which means its password protected.

  • How can I use an 02 SIM on my iphone 4s which was originally on Orange?

    Hi,
    I purchased an iPhone  4S approx 2 years ago from Carphone Warehouse on Orange/EE. At the end of the 2 years I decided to leave Orange and use O2. I called up Orange to unlock my phone but they told me as the phone was purchased from Carphone Warehouse they cannot unlock it. I went to Carphone Warehouse and they said they do not unlock phones.
    I've looked online and found this link :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5014
    I restored my phone and the my O2 sim does still not work. I get this message now:
    "SIM Not Valid
    The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currerntly assigned by the activation server. This is not a a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information".
    So now I am stumped on what to do next - it seems impossible for me to get this phone unlocked. I've spoken to market phone vendors and they are all quoting me £120 - which seems pointless.
    If anyone has any advice or suggestion I would greatly appreciate it!
    Many thanks,

    Jailbreaking is not done to attract malware and possibility and in most cases it is not the case. You are supposedly assuming that jailbreaking is done as jailbreakers "like malware". Your statement is wrong as in essence, jailbreaking your iPhone means freeing it from the limitations imposed on it by your carrier, whether that's AT&T or Verizon, and Apple. It lets you do everything from customizing the look of your iPhone to installing third-party applications (such as titles that are not authorized and available in the App Store) and customized ringtones on it. Depending on how far you're willing to go, you can do even more than that: Jailbreaking even lets you to unlock your phone so you can use it with a carrier other than the one from which you purchased it and in my case you can enable continuity.
    The statement was in the spirit of irony. And no, I do not assume users jailbreak because they actually want malware. However, jailbreaking does indeed make the device far more susceptible to such, and it also occurs far more than you seem to think.
