I have the iPhone 4 AT&t trouble with front cam

I bought my iPhone 4 unlocked AT&T 16gb phone from a friend. Ever since I gotten my phone the front facing cam never worked. If never worked when my friend had it as well. I do have a piece broken off on the top left corner of my phone that was there when I bought it. I didn't think I would use the front cam but I want too. So basically when I switch to the front cam the shutter is closed and it stays stuck like that and on the bottom to switch from cam to video shakes. Does this happen cause the front cam needs to be replaced or does the hardware need to be replaced? Or is it a short to te front cam? I've never opened my phone, don't know how to, don't have the tools and don't know where to begin. Should I bring it to apple and have them check it out or should I pay $50 and just have the cam replaced and my front screen? I am new to iPhone I've had it for 2 months and still learning the terms etc etc. PLEASE HELP I WANT MY FRONT CAM!!!!!

If the "cell repair shop" you bought it from attempted any sort of hardware repair, Apple will no longer provide any support for it and you'll have to have an unauthorized shop attempt further repairs. If the shop didn't open the iPhone, then Apple will replace the iPhone for their standard fee, which while it will be significantly more than $50 would guarantee you a completely working iPhone for at least 90 days (the lenght of warranty on any out-of-warranty replacement). Or you can have some unauthorized shop attempt to repair the camera and hope they don't mess up anything else (something all too common).
It's up to you how you wish to proceed from here.
Regards.

  • I have the iPhone 4 and I am having trouble updating to iOS7

    I have the iPhone 4 and I am having trouble updating to iOS7. Though I initially didn't care about updating, I can't download certain apps without updating to i0S7. I have tried to update while wireless and while connected to iTunes, but it is saying that I do not have enough storage space to update. I have heard that I can remove the music from my iPhone (creating space), update my phone to i0S 7 and then put my music back onto my iPhone, but how do I go about doing this? I don't want to make a mistake and lose all of my music. Does anyone know of another way that I can update without having to delete more music, photos, apps etc. ?

    As long as your music is in iTunes, you can delete it from your iPhone no problem. iTunes will not change. You cannot update if you do not have enough space, so if you can remove that music and some photos, it should work then.

  • I have the iPhone 6 plus. I have no troubles sending picture and text messagings but cannot receive picture messagings from anyone. Pic messages thru iMessage works just fine. I have t-mobile. Please help.

    I have the iPhone 6 plus. I have no troubles sending and receiving text messages. I can also send pic messages but I cannot receive them. I have T-mobile and have been calling them for the past 2 months but the issue hasn't been resolved. Anyone has a similar issue, please help. 

    Hello Soccergump,
    For issues with sending and receiving text messages, take a look at the article below to continue your troubleshooting. You may need to sign out of iMessage and sign back in as well as resetting the network settings. One other thing to check is to make sure that your friends did not get blocked from being able to send you messages.

  • Hi, I have the iphone 4 and I manually deleted all the voice memos on my iphone but they are still on my iphone when I open Itunes

    Hi, I have the iphone 4 and I manually deleted all the voice memos on my iphone but they still appear on my iphone when I open Itunes on my computer and they still take up space. I am soon running out of space. Any ideas to permanantly get rid of some of the voice memos?
    Am I the only one that really dislike the fact I cannot customize my iphone and cannot delete whatever files I want?
    The only options i seem to have is to delete all my files WITHOUT a system restor because I tried doing a system restore  and it puts back all my old files on my iphones.
    I'm pretty desperate and any tips would help me a lot

    If I understand you correctly, you purchased two albums directly from your iPhone and have successfully transferred the purchases to your iTunes library, but now you want to remove these two albums from your iPhone but having trouble, correct?
    If so, you can manually delete the albums (song-by-song) by sliding your finger across each song's name, from left to right, then select the Delete button.
    Or, while your iPhone is connected to iTunes click on the Music tab that you see in iTunes (where you specify what items to sync to your iPhone). At the bottom of that window (below Playlists, Genre, etc.) you'll see songs that are "manually" added to your iPhone, just un-check those and re-sync.

  • HT201328 I do travel to Europe several day a year. It is true that I can use the Iphone 5 in other country with no trouble ??

    I do travel to Europe several day a year. It is true that I can use the Iphone 5 in other country with no trouble ??

    If your phone is locked to AT&T, you can certainly travel & use your phone, but you'll have to get AT&T to provision your account for International use...select the country/countries & plan. This is very expensive, as the roaming partners set the rates & you generally pay through the nose.
    And no, you can't use a local sim if your phone is locked to AT&T.

  • I have the iPhone 5C and have question about he Nike IPOD app. It keeps telling me to move around to set up the sensor to start timing my workout. I went on a 20 minute walk and it still did not set the sensor. Help is needed.

    I have the IPHONE 5C and am having trouble with the app Nike + IPOD.  I go to timed workouts and select 20 minutes and the select playlist and it give me the workout section to start my timed workout.  It will say walk around to activate your sensor.  Well, I walked 20 minutes last nigth & it it still was telling me to activate my sensor.  I was able to still enjoy listening to the music I have on this phone, but frustrated with this silly voice telling me to walk around to activate my sensor.
    Have anyone out there had this frustrating problem.??

    I used to use an iPod Touch and the sensor on my non-Nike running shoes. I bought a little key pouch that fastened to my laces and stuck it in there. It worked find.
    However, with an iPhone, you don't need a sensor. Download the Nike+ Running app from the App Store (or Runmeter or Endomondo or Runtastic). The phone has built in GPS and an accelerometer. It doesn't need the foot sensor like the iPod Touch. You can use any shoes you want. Or no shoes!

    Hey there rmflint,
    It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

  • I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version.  Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them.  They are still listed though.

    I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version.  Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them.  They are still listed in the iTunes library.  When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
    P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out.  However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow.  When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list.  I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs.  Then I did a sync and it happened again!
    I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud.  Any thougnts?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? Help!

    I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??

    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
    When you sync to another it will delete the current content.
    Make sure you have copied everything from your old computer to your new one first.

    If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

    I just went through this same process.... I changed my credit card, double checked billing info, changed my password, I restored my phone, but the misake I made was I kept restoring it from my back up.... Finally I went to Apple Store.. and sad to say that you have to do a restore, and DO NOT restore from back up.
    I used Gmail so I didnt loose contacts or email.. but I did loose all my text messages and history of that.
    So, I had the EXACT same problem and it was a software issue.. you have to restore your phone to factory settings and start all over.. BLOWS I know!
