I dropped my iPhone (I think it's the 4S) in some water...

got it out and towel dried it straightaway and it was fine. About 30mins later the signal went and it's been 'searching...' ever since. I haven't noticed anything else wrong and it will connect to the internet/wifi. Help?

I didn't turn it on because I had an app up so it was already turned on and it didn't shut it's self off when it hit the water.
I've restarted it since then and have connected to the computer - no luck obviously - it's currently off and sitting in the airing cuboard.

    It means you should take it to the Genius Bar. You will no doubt need to buy an out of warranty replacement.

    My iPhone 5 just fell on the floor from a water tumbler. The height mayb like 2 -3 feet. i'm just curious to know if i have to worry about any kind of internal damage. It had a moshi cover on when it fell but it fell on the side of the screen so just worried about the microphone or the front camera. Someone please reply if i should go to Apple and give the phone for a hardware check.

    The only choice you have is accept it as it is or pay for a replacement
    Any user damage is not covered by the warranty but at any time if you have problems in the future you can obtain an out of warranty exchange unit for $229 in US
    I would forget it for now ,just not drop it again

  • I dropped my iPhone 6 plus and now the volume down button is lodged in. How do I fix this?

    I haven't had for my iPhone 6 plus for long - almost a month. But I just noticed that the volume down button is lodged in and it is stuck which must have been from me dropping it. But it doesn't affect the volume whatsoever as I can still lower or increase the volume, I was wondering what can I do to fix this or if I bring it to apple will they fix it for me for free?

    Since you have dropped the phone I don't think that they will do the repair for free, sorry.
    But you should not try to repair this on your own, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store and see what they decide.

  • I dropped my iphone 4 by mistake and the screen digitizer got damaged if i order a new one will it work perfect on my phone

    canh someone answer me asap im currently in te process of ordering the lcd+digitizer dont want to waste my money

    Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. Any parts you can get are either stolen, counterfeit, or salvaged from other phones. So, the answer to your question is: There is absolutely no way to tell whether it will work at all.  The iPhone is not user servicable. You can get an out of warranty replacement phone from Apple for $149. If you attempt to fix it yourself, or take it to an unauthorized servicer, you give up the right to have it serviced by Apple at any price.

  • I have a dilemma with my iphone 4s. I accidently dropped my iphone 4s by accident. The screen is not cracked. However, there is a green tint with a white line on the screen, even though I can see the icons and everything. Any way to fix this?

    So yeah!! Any one can tell what should I do now? Should i open the case of the iphone and tweek the lcd cables back in place?

    All they were asking is if someone could tell them what was wrong with it.......It sounds like your inner LCD screen cracked. I had the same problem. Mine was out of warrenty though so I actually bought the part off of Ebay and replaced it myself. The front screen and inner LCD are connected so you have to buy them the same way to fix it. It was like $28 and came with the tools. Just FYI. Obviously if you are in warrenty....have apple fix it.

  • Two Iphones - ITunes thinks they're the same phone

    I screwed up and somehow synced both of our new Iphones to ITunes under the same name and now it recognizes both our phones as the same one phone. Text messages sent to one of our phones are showing up on the other phone as well. I can't see a way to remove one of the devices and start over. I have entered a lot of contacts in Outlook and don't want to lose them. Help me, I'm stupid!

    If text messages intended for one are going to both, it sounds like you may have managed to clone the phone during the activation process... I'm guessing these must be Verizon phones.
    If that's so, you need to contact Verizon ASAP. They're going to have to straighten this out.
    If they're not Verizon phones, then I don't see how you could possibly be getting text messages on both, unless you mean you get them on one, sync, sync the other, then the show up in the text message history of the last one. That's a different issue entirely. You should just have to re-name one of the phones in iTunes to straighten that out, then set one of them up as a new phone.

  • I changed the email on my Apple ID and iCloud account, but my iPhone still thinks it's the old iCloud email and won't let me change it. How do I switch the emails on the iPhone?

    It won't let me delete iCloud or sign out without SIGNING IN with my old email, which doesn't exist anymore.
    It shows no option to sign in with my new email/password and the popups are getting obnoxious.
    Now Apple is telling me I can't edit my own post?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Dropped my iPhone 5c in paint and the paint is inside the charger input. How do i get it out?

    It was charging without a problem after the incident now it isn't charging at all

    How ironic, I just finished painting a bedroom, sat down and saw your post first. You phone is likely toast as the paint has likely seeped into other crevices around the switches, buttons, mic, speaker ports, etc. depending on how much paint got on it. As Peter said, take it into an Apple store and see what they say.

  • I dropped my iphone and when i picked it up it was working but as soon i got inside the house and turned it on, the screens lights up black then it goes completely white

    he;lpp!! i dropped my iphone and face down on the screen andwhen i picked it up it was working and everything , when i got inside the house and checked it the screen goes black then it goes white and stays then shuts off and the same thing happens when you push the home button, plus im still able to recieve and get text messages i just cant see cause the screen.... help me like NOW !!!!!!!! haha i really dont wanna take it to a shop and pay money !!

    You can try resetting it: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). If you are able to see the Apple, then the reset is in progress, and the Home screen will display shortly.
    If you are not able to see the Apple, then you are going to need to make a trip to the Apple Store.

  • Dropped my iphone 5. Can I get the screen replaced for free?

    Dropped my iphone 5. This is the replacement phone Apple gave me a month ago - the camera didn't work properly so they gave me this one. They told me it has a 90 day guarantee. Can I get the screen replaced for free?

    That is not a 90 day guaranrtee. It is a 90 warranty which only covers workmenship and materials not damage. So no. You are going to have to pay to get it replaced.

  • Dropped my iPhone 5S in water, I think it's safe but I'm not 100%, HELP

    I dropped my iPhone 5S in the bath for around three seconds, I grabbed it and dryed it off and it seemed to be working normally. I used COOL air to gently dry out the charging and headphone jack just to be safe. About twenty minutes later my phone did not have service in my room and it was charging inconsistently. My phone has never not had service in my room over the last 3 months I've had it. I read a few articles online and immediately turned it off and put it in rice. I checked the water damage indicator around two hours after it had been in the rice and it was not red so I just wanted to know if this meant my iPhone does not have water damage and I'm safe? I still have it in the rice just to be safe.
    Thanks!! 

    No, it means it is working for now. That is no guarantee that it  will not fail tomorrow or next week. Your chances of an eventual failure just went up.

    Please can you help....
    I ordered an iPhone 5s in early September from the orange shop in Chamonix Mont-Blanc France.
    I needed a new phone as i dropped my iPhone and broke it so it thought i would upgrade.
    I was asked in the shop if I wanted a black or white one, I asked for a Black one, as all my iPhones have all been Black as I DON'T LIKE White ones. (sorry)
    I was told my phone would arrive in a week so I waited with broken phone for new one. The following week I was told it would be the following week, the following week i was told the same but the assistant in the shop told me they would ring me when it arrived. Three days later i recieved a text from the shop to say the phone would be in tomorrow, when I went in they said it had not arrived and they would call me when it was in the shop.
    They called me on Thursday the 17th of October to say the phone was in the shop.
    I arrived at the shop at 6:00pm after my work, the shop closes at 7:00pm. I recieved the phone, signed for it and extra unwanted insurance with I was told I could only canceled in a month. I was then told they didn't have any sim cards in the shop, i said no problem the Phone i assume will need charging so i will take it home and charge it and return for the sim tomorrow.
    So the Phone remained boxed.
    When I returned home and opened the box I realised it was a white one, I replaced the lid put it back in the bag, and returned it to the shop first thing Friday 18th October, to point out the error, only to be told "to bad" ?? I was told I could have changed it the night before but not this morning? They said I had ordered a Black one but as I had signed for a White one nothing can be done. I was angry and left the shop. I returned later the same day with a French friend to try and resolve this problem, as I wasn't sure if something was being lost in translation. I didn't think I was being unreasonable, it is a very expensive piece of equipment and this wasn't what i wanted. They told my friend that the phone was not available in Black, that was the 5, and that the 5s was only available in silver and gold, and that mine was a silver one.
    I then thought it was my mistake as it was a new phone. She put a sim in the phone put it in the box and I left for a business meeting only to arrive and see a Black iPhone 5s sitting on the table??
    So I then returned back to the shop with the Black one and mine still all boxed and untouched to prove they had blatantly lied to me an hour ago, only to be told that there was nothing they were prepared to do.
    Is this fair practice ? I am at a loss with this and am looking for help ?

    A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":
    "iPhone 5s — Available in silver, gold, and space gray" (Source)
