HT1212 Any last hope for disabled phone

I disabled my phone after too many attempts.  I can't explain why, but after the oS upgrade when the screen looked different I couldn't remember my passcode that I enter a million times a day.  I tried too  many times and disabled. Now after some time passed it came back to me and I am pretty sure I know it now. Is there any hope for one last try?  Last night after an hour it would give me another try.  But now it has been "disabled" for too long and I fear I lost my last chance. 
Meanwhile, I had it set to back up to the icloud but when I sign into icloud, all I see is contacts. No photos or videos which I am very upset about losing. 
I am hoping for any last ditch efforts before restoring and losing things. Not sure how long I should wait to see if it gives me one more chance.  It is tempting to make one of those "emergency calls" since it's the only thing it will let you do.

recovery mode
open itunes on computer
plug cable into computer not iOS device
turn device off
hold home button and plug cable into IOS device.  do not release home button until an itunes graphic appears on IOS device.
look to computer should have message about recovery mode click ok and restore

  • Cannot activate my itunes account, it does not recognize any entry format for my phone number.

    this happens when i try to download an app on my new iPad, iTunes requires me to fill out an online form but when enetring the phone number, iTunes doesn`t recognize any entry format.

    In most locations your Apple ID is a valid email address. Did you try entering you most used email address?

  • Last hope on performance issues in ECC 6

    This forum is my last hope for help on this issue.
    We just recently went from 4.6c, oracle 9-something to ecc 6, oracle 10g.
    We have found that report performance in the background has been TERRIBLE in comparison to the old version. Especially CO reports and PS reports. We have spent countless hours on analyss and program changes, and OSS note applications, and have exhausted evey means to find the underlying issue that the upgrade seems to have caused.
    The biggest issue we found were changes to the PSJ logical database, and we fixed that.
    We have looked both on the Oracle side and the SAP side.
    Still reports are running 3-4 times longer.
    We are non-unicode
    Has anyone else run into this issue?

    I´d do an SQL trace (ST05), switch it on for a user, start the report and let it run until it bombs out with timeout. Then switch off the trace and evaluate it.
    Also check note 871096 and install the patches listed for your platform.
    Did you create database statistics after you did your upgrade?
    In any case, create an SQL trace and open an OSS call on BC-DB-ORA telling the support your problems and let them have a look at the execution plan of your statement.

  • No hope for 3G on Rogers?

    Hey all,
    I have the euro version of the E72 (E72-1).  When I bought it, I didn't realise there was a difference between euro and NA 3G frequencies, and it appears that I can't connect to the Rogers 3G or 3.5G network.  Edge for web browsing is just not something I'm willing to deal with.  Is there any hope for this phone, or should I just get rid of it and get a North American phone?  Oh, and it's like half a month too late to return it to the place I bought it (bestdirect.ca), so that's not an option.
    Thanks for any advice.
    VS

    Actually, now that I've done a little more research, it seems that all the models of the E72 (the E72-1, E72-2 and E72-3) support 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz frequencies.  So, this should mean that I can get 3G on my euro phone in NA.  Maybe it's just a matter of a setting that's not default, that I'm not aware of?  Anyone have any experience getting 3G on an E72-1 in canada (Rogers specifically, ideally)?
    This phone would be just about perfect if I could just get this working (and they fix the accidental/double press keyboard issue)...
    Thanks again,

    If the nokia software updater doesn't allow you to update then your phone is most likely network branded or network locked. Most networks don't bother approving new updates leaving their customers stuck with old firmware.
    If your phone isn't network locked see this faq for more info: http://europe.nokia.com/A4577229#faq35

  • I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

    I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

    Probably not. First of all, 48 hours is not enough. 5-7 days is better. Secondly, if you did not turn it off the very instant you retrieved it, it probably did worse damage. Even if it powers on, it's very unlikely it will function 100%.

  • Any hope for quality basic phones?

    I'm out of contract, just got done browsing for a basic replacement phone and am disappointed with the current offerings. I feel that was marketing and intended. I've been a Verizon Wireless customer since 2001 and I was grandfathered in once they bought Alltel. I like to use Verizon because I get good reception in my area on their voice network and many of my family and friends use the service, so we have free mobile-to-mobile calls and texts. I say free, but I consider it a bargaining chip that came as part of the fee in the plan that I pay for every month.
    I do not want a "smart phone" my lifestyle doesn't need or desire it. I have computers at work and home and all my typical haunts, I don't want to carry around an additional Internet device in my pocket (yes I know basic phones can access the net too in a limited way, for a premium). Being constantly online isn't desirable to me. I don't want to be GPS tracked, or browse the Internet on a tiny little phone screen. I like my old voice and text plan, the price is right. I'm not inclined to pay at least an extra $30/month to start a service that I don't want and just open the door for data overage fees - Just to have a decent phone! It's a despicable and ethically embarrassing corporate strategy.
    So without getting into the profit motivations for phasing out basic service plans by only offering smartphones, why can't we have:
    Long battery life
    modern tablet style ergonomics
    decent reliable OS
    possible wi-fi if desired
    Good camera and flash
    rugged enough to last at least the duration of a 2-year contract with normal wear
    Good sound quality and antenna
    Technologically we already nailed it, have been there a long time but instead you try to force us to commit to these expensive bells and whistles many of us don't need or request. In this day and age I feel that basic phone service is a need, so why not do it right and excel at it? You probably don't make as much money off of it, but I'm still happy to pay like I have been if you would just sell a reasonable device for me to use. I'm tired of being made to feel like a second class citizen in the Verizon store with my old flip phone because I just want options, and my requests are fundamental, only basic service and good performance with my phone.

    That tired old argument?
    I don't buy this supply side excuse. All these phones are useless without a service provider. Most are locked to providers. The manufacturers sell what the buyers want and the real buyers are the carriers, who then resell to the consumer.  The carriers want to pay the leases on their new networks and maximize profits, so they need data plans. Many consumers want these features and many do not (jaymeson). My gripe is with the quality of Verizon's non-data plan phones sliding backwards...
    In my business, satisfied repeat customers are the majority of clients. Did Verizon not make profit before the smartphone hype? Verizon is diversified and very large, they tend to trample the individual consumer and it's their way or the highway. I had an experience in what was called a "corporate" verizon store yesterday. I wanted to evaluate my plan and make sure they had count my promotional minutes. The new alert system I learned is based off only your plan minutes and so before knowing that I got nervous when texts came in that said that I was reaching my allotment early. I thought they dropped my promo. I went into the store to sort this out face-to-face. It was quiet, there were three salesmen standing in the corner twisting their thumbs and doing nothing while I waited half an hour to be seen by someone. After authenticating me with my account, supposedly they couldn't pull my plan up on their computer and rudely kept pounding the mantra that I had to call customer service! Total waste of my time.
    I've ended up ditching Verizon and ordering a nice new out-of-contract smartphone (best bang for buck feature-wise) and it should be here in a couple days. I'm activating on a different network, not as expensive or fast, but I don't need the download speed perks and will block most of it. The prepaid as suggested by Weth provides the freedom that I want. I'm only remaining on Verizon until I get the new phone in to activate and port over my number. If I like it the business contract phones will follow.
    I'm going to consider this thread closed. I learned there is NO hope for quality basic phones on verizon. Thanks for participating.

    What a colossally bad idea!  To anyone reading this thread DO NOT DO THIS!!!  Once anyone other than an Apple Authorized Service Provider (and that doesn't automatically mean your carrier, just FYI) opens up the device, then ALL options from Apple are gone, permanently.

  • Any hope for syncing a "LG Dare" (Verizon)

    Well as i'm sure many of you have seen the new "3G iPhone Competitor" will be released on verizon this week. any hope for syncing with iCal and or Contacts?
    Please don't rip on me for this I just cannot afford a plan on ATT.

    This is great... I got my music on my dare even under the "My Music" Folder on the phone using the method above (Bluetooth Exchange)....
    one problem...
    theres no way to get it off after you do that.... if you try to delete songs off your phone via Bluetooth Exchange it says "Last Operation Failed Bad Request..."
    and of course theres no way to delete them from the phone... that would be too simple (thanks LG)
    and since I have a mac....
    i cant use the verizon sync program to get them off...
    so for now i only have 4 songs on my Dare... but they are on my internal memory... perhaps... eternally.
    Please reply if you have any advice...
    maybe i missed something ...

  • I have lost my iphone and did not have Find me set up. Is there any way that Apple or anyone can track the last location of my phone before it turned off?

    I have lost my Iphone last week. I know this has been a while, but I am desperate. I have talked to At&t and there is no way they could track my phone with it turned off. So I was wondering if there's any way that we can check the last location of the phone before it died? And also, if there's any way we can ping the phone in case it was stolen and was turned on? I hope to read ur responses soon. Thank you.

    If you did not setup Find My Phone, I'm afraid yo're out of luck. There is no practical way to track your phone.

  • Any hope for a liquified macbook?

    Water was spilled on my Macbook last night. Once it had a few hours to dry, I powered it on. Sadly, when I got to the main log-in screen, everything was frozen... from the mouse to the keyboard. Any hope for this Macbook?

    Hi
    With any liquid damage you run the risk of corroding internal components. Depending on where the spillage was and which direction the liquid 'ran' there's the potential of 'shorting' the smaller yet crucial components. Your next problem is the cost or repair. If the the MacBook is still under warranty it won't be covered for accidental or willful damage. Additionally the price of the replacement part is at least one/third more expensive than the cost of an exchange part. Apple keep the prices down on components that fail using an exchange system. If there's damage to the component for whatever reason the part would be replaced with a completely new part.
    I would pursue an insurance claim if I was you. Most standard house insurance policies will cover individual items up to a certain price.

  • Any hope for a 5c retrieved from water immediately?

    Is there any hope for a iPhone 5c that was dropped in the water?  Put it in rice for 18 hours and it started up.  Shut it down and tried a little later and NOTHING.

    Overnight may be enough if it was a splash of water (ie: you left the phone near a sink while washing dishes, forgot to dry your hands before touching it, and some water got in the dock connector/headphone jack), but if it was fully submerged and was powered on at the time, odds are it's been damaged already. It may power on and seem fine after a week, but it's very likely you will need to replace it much sooner than you'd expected.
    Apple will replace it for a fee ($269 is the cost listed here for Out-of-Warranty service).

  • I have a 16GB 3GS phone. For the last few days, my phone is constantly giving me message that the accessory attached to my phone is not optimized for this iphone. You may experience noise or poor communication, while there is no acessory attached to it.

    I have a 16GB 3GS phone since about20 months now. For the last few days, my phone is constantly giving me message that the accessory attached to my phone is not optimized for this iphone. You may experience noise or poor communication, while there is no acessory attached to it. I always used standard headphones and charging cable. Now when i recall, it started at one of the sync sessions with my itunes. I have turned my phone off and aon again and again but the message keeps coming every one or two minutes.I have also started loosing voicce on different applications like youtube etc. Also the ringer volume up and down key does not show me the small boxes increasing or decreasing on screen. The phone is playing crazy. Can someone help please
    Thanks
    Zia

    It helped earlier but it has come back again. I don't know what to do. I tried what you said earlier but this time even this is not working either. And quite intrestingly my phone won't turn off. I turn it off, it goes off and then restarts on its own and then keep giving the same message again and again.
    Could it be a charging cable, is there any chance that the cable which was working fine one day could turn to be "incompatible" with iphone the other day????????
    Please help

    I have a new Samsung phone and I live in CT. Last month they charged me $38 on my bill for the sales tax for the new phone which was $600. I'm paying for the phone itself over 20 installments of $30 each.  Now again I'm getting that same $38 charge. I can't  believe that the monthly CT tax is higher than the payment for the phone itself. Does this make sense. Last time I spoke with them on the phone it was for 1 1/4 hours for something simple. I don't want to call unless I need to. The salesman told me nothing about any of this. Thank you for any help you can offer.

    The bill from last month states:
    CT state sales tax**     $38.10
    ** In some states sales tax or surcharges are calculated on the full cost of the full retail price or VZW cost of the device you purchased and not on the discounted price you pay. The sales tax or surcharges charged on your device was based on $599.99 and appears on this first bill.
    The current bill says the same.
    Actually, now I'm realizing that last month's bill stated I was making the first payment toward the phone. Now this month also says it's the first payment toward the phone when it's really the second.
