I dropped my iphone4s in the bath, will it work again, i dropped my iphone4s in the bath, will it work again

I dropped my iphone 4s in the bath, was only in the water a few seconds, i have taken back off and put it in an airtight container to dry out, i have a pink spot in the headphone jack, will it work again

You can also try putting it under a warm (not hot!!) lamp.   Keep a careful eye to insure that the phone never gets more than warm to the touch.    Putting it about a foot and a half from an incandescent lamp is a good starting point.
As Varjak said, the drying process can take several *days*.
I have successfully recovered computers, iPods and phones in this way. Unfortunately, in one case i "recovered" an iPhone (in that it worked fine again), but simultaneously also damaged the screen (permanent black spot)  by putting it too close to the lamp, so be careful.
The telltale in the jack doesn't tell you whether it's been damaged.  It just tell you it's been in water (which you already knew).  Its primary purpose is to tell Apple the warrantee has been voided.

    We have had Verizon Wireless service since 2007. We have 6 lines on our account. Unfortunately in 2012 when I (903.647.0073) upgraded from the iPhone4s to the iPhone 5 I started having reception problems. I started having dropped calls in my home. I had to go outside to get reception without dropped calls. I was told that because of metal in my home I would have to purchase a Network Extender for $250. And we HAVE not metal in our home. AND our other lines all work fine. I felt this was ridiculous. We already pay $350+/month for service and I should NOT have to purchase additional equipment for a service that I already pay for. The manager of our local store at the time gave us at no cost a Samsung Network Extender. It worked beautifully until about a month ago. I went to our local Verizon store and was told that I would have to purchase an extender. THIS is RIDICULOUS. We have been loyal customers for over 7 years and have been very satisfied with our service. Unless this issue can be resolved without purchasing an extender we will be switching our service as our lines come up for renewal. I regret this as we have been very happy with our service. But we should NOT have to purchase anything extra for one line that will not get good reception. Again, we pay $350+/ month for a service that does not work properly, simply RIDICULOUS! Currently the "sys" light flashes red (slow) and the GPS light remains red. Please help this very frustrated customer.

    Regardless with what carrier your with you might have the same issue, My recommendation would be to get a router that will help you with viewing live traffic and keep a tally of your usage and any device connected to your internet connection.  You can go with the peplink balance 20 and be able to look at your traffic by the hour, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  Look for trends, see what computers or devices are doing what I attached a screen shot so you can see an example of mine.  You can purchase the router at 3gstore

    See this -> Apple Service Answer Center - iPhone
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c,
    iPhone 5
    $269
    iPhone 4s
    $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
    $149
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax. When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above.  This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare product coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

  • I unlocked a iPhone4 thru ATT, then installed a TMobile SIM. The phone works, but keeps dropping service.  Can I do a Restore with the TMobile SIM in it?

    I successfully unlocked an ATT iPhone4 with ATT SIM, then installed a TMobile SIM. After TMobile walked me thru some manual Setting changes, the phone works.  However, now it keeps dropping service.  Can I do a Restore with the TMobile SIM in it?

    Nope. It still switches between service, 'no service', 'searching', and then I get service for a while.  Very frustrating.  I live in a 2G area, which I thought might be the problem, but had it in a 3G area today and still lost service randomly. 
    I guess I will have to go to the TMoblile store and ask for another SIM. 
    Any other suggestions?
    They told me that if the phone was not a TMobile phone, they do not guarantee service.
    This is a Pay-As-You-Go plan.  Wondering if there is a compatibility issue with the iPhone hardware/firmware and the TMobile SIM?
    My old TMobile Samsung t249 with the same plan did not have this problem.

  • Hi, I have an iphone4 and all of a sudden none of the apps (except the ones that came with the phone) will open. The screen goes black then it goes back to the homescreen. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I have an iphone 4 and all of a sudden none of the apps will work, except the ones that came with the phone. When I open them the screen goes black then it goes back to the homescreen.
    Also when I plug the phone into itunes it only gives me the option to either restore or eject the phone. Up until today I never had any problems, I sync it regularly and all the software (inc itunes) is up to date. The last time I backed it up was about a month ago when I got the phone, (a replacement as my other iphone4 had loads of problems) so I don't want to have to restore it and lose everything off it!
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

  • Dropped my iPhone in snow and now it will only show the apple logo when plugged in

    I dropped my iPhone4s in the snow the other day, consequently it got wet. I could see the condensation in the camea and flash and the screen turned black however the phone still worked as when my friend called me it vibrated but I couldn't answer it because of the screen. The flash also was constantly on so it seemed like everything was working inside the phone but just not the screen.
    As soon as I got home I left the phone in rice for 2 days.
    I got the phone out and plugged it in to charge. The apple logo showed up and the phone vibrated but en the apple logo disappeared and the screen turned black again. I unplugged the phone and plugged it in again and the same thing happened with the logo again but no vibration.
    If I take the phone out of the plug it will just stay as a black screen.
    Any suggestions as to what is ring with it or what I could do to fix this?

    You've most likely cooked it. Make an appointment at the genius bar. Take the phone and your credit card with you. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $199.

  • I dropped my iphone in the bath, can it be repaired?

    I dropped my phone in the bath, can it be repaired or replaced in store?

    Apple do not repair iPhones but offer a replacement.  An iPhone 4 will be $149.
    Go to Service Answer Center - iPhone and select your country from the drop-down list for prices in your area.

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

  • Drop down menus on iPad, the first selection in the drop down will not load as a selection when using safari, what can I do?

    Drop down menus on iPad, the first selection in the drop down will not load as a selection when using safari, what can I do?  I use this for my mobile, on-site auto repair business and not being able to call up repair and diagnostic info and reference for some cars is troublesome for sure. It works fine on the computer and I have installed a remote desktop app as a workaround but it is unreliable because the desktop is not business dedicated and may be off or in use at the time. So is there a known fix for this?
    Let me paint a more descriptive picture, visualize 4 drop down selection menus, first one is for year, next one is for make, 3rd one is model and the last one is for engine size/type. If I wanted to choose a 2012 vehicle it wont work because it is the top selection on the list. This can be forced by selecting any other year and then coming back to 2012. Ok fine, but then let's say I wanted to choose Acura as the make, well it won't take it because again it's the top selection. Again you work around it be selecting any other make and coming back to Acura. Ok now select the model, same trend follows. But now since most Acura vehicles come with dedicated engines and no optional engines I have only 1 selection in that final drop down menu and it will not take my selection and therefore never let me proceed to the info I need.
    This is also true when ordering parts from my wholesaler's website, they use drop downs and I can only get to that last drop down and then I'm stuck. This is blindingly frustrating, what options do I have. I'm not opposed to any avenue at this point.

    Did you ever figure this out? I bought my iPad last week to use in my business as well. I assume you are trying to use alldata? That is where I noticed this same issue. I had problems with identifix working with safari but downloaded a different browser and that works fine. Alldata does not work with either browser. The main difference is that on identifix if there is only one engine selection, it automatically selects the only option and continues to the home page. With alldata you have to make the selection manually even if there is only one option. Honestly if I can't get this to work I am going to return the iPad as it looses a significant amount of usefulness to men

  • Hi guys, Having a problem with emoji. I have the emoji on my dock which I found a shortcut on Cult of the Mac. I click on the emoji and drag it to my email or whatever, and it will not drop into place. There is a blue square. Other shortcuts don't work.

    Hi Guys,
    Having problem with emoji, I have the character palette shortcut on my dock which I found through article from Cult of the Mac. I click on the emoticon and drag it to my email or whatever and get a blue box - no emoji. I tried the keyboard shortcut - doesn't work. I tried the drop down the menu in edit - doesn't work either. I am running Lion and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Want to fix this before I upgrade or should I just upgrade and hope for the best?  Been all over the net looking for solution.
    Thanks for your help,
    blueheron11

    Pages does not support the Apple font used for color emoji, so that behavior is normal.
    With what app are you reading the yahoo mail?  There is really no guarantee than any other email service will show the special Apple font involved.
    You should have no problem putting emoji directly into Mail or Text edit via drag drop from the Character Viewer as shown below.
    You should also be able to upload graphics here easily by clicking on the camera icon.  My email is tom at bluesky dot org.
