I need a full replacement.

I have an iPhone4, and for some reason this week, it started shorting out. Every time I made a call, it would drop all signals, and I would have to restore it fully from the computer. Now, I can't do anything. The computer will not recognize the phone's software and only gives an error message when I try to do a full restore.
I just need a bit of clarification if anyone knows about this kind of thing.
I've had the phone for 3 months, and there are no marks on it at all. it's been in a protective case the entire time.
The problem is internal, so first, would I be eligible for a replacement?
How long would a mail in replacement take? (I'm four hours form the nearest store.)
Will they give me a way to take my sim-card out? Should I go the AT&T store to test the sim card?
Thanks in advance,
David

If you haven't already, check this link out, it will give you the most likely cause of your restore error message and any pertinent troubleshooting:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
If the phone is only three months old, then it would still be eligible for warranty coverage assuming that the phone has not been jail broken or damaged. If you contact AppleCare by phone they can give you an accurate time quote for mail-in service based on your location. This link has the FAQ for iPhone service options:

  • Corrupt hard drive needs to be replaced?

    I WAS TOLD BY BEST BUY GEEK SQUAD WHEN I TOOK MY LAPTOP TO THEM A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT MY HARD DRIVE IS CORRUPTED AND I NEED TO REPLACED IT. IS IT TRUE THAT I HAVE TO REPLACED MY HARD DRIVE AND THEN USE MY RECOVERY DISC WHICH I DON'T HAVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM?

    Hi:
    It depends on what the hard drive diagnostics test reported, as to whether or not it needs to be replaced, or if only the operating system needs to be restored.
    You can probably order recovery disks from HP for your notebook, but without knowing the full model number of it, I would not be able to provide any further details.
    If you do not know the full model number of your notebook, then please read the guide at the link below for how to find out that info.

  • Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.

    Probably will never ever think of buying a locked phone from AT&T cause its one of the worst system integrations ever that these companies could think of.
    The entire problem started when I put in a request with at&t to unlock my iphone 4s (ios7) which did get approved. I performed the entire instructions they asked me to do, which is to backup and restore. After doing those instructions my iphone gave me an error message below
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
    Basically saying that at&t hasn't still unlocked the iphone which a really helpful apple executive was able to confirm. I initiated another unlock process from at&t in order to unlock the iphone, just to be sure that its not something wrong from my end. The nice at&t lady stayed on chat with me to unlock the iphone step my step while I was calling the apple tech too. And the apple tech confirmed again that the iphone is locked to at&t.
    Now, just a few minutes ago I tried another restore to see if any progress is being made and to my surprise I got an error message saying
    Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.
    I feel like I am just going around these two different "money hogger" companies which set certain rules and regulations to screw a regular phone buyer. I purchased this iphone in USA and trying to unlock in India, is it really this hard to simply unlock a device.
    For now I am going to try to call a apple office in india (apprently we don't have very many out here) and see if they can help me. But any other assistance regarding unlocking an iphone 4s would be helpful. I have however, tried checking IMEI.info, called up apple, talked to at&t (which always say go talk to apple) I do have a case number from apple as well in case an apple executive reads this discussion forum (case number: 566383594)
    Thanks

    You got a confirmation from AT&T that it was authorized. Is this correct? - Yes i did get an email authorization on the 21st.
    Then you connected the phone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed. You clicked on the phone's name in iTunes, then clicked "Backup Now". - Yes
    When that finished you clicked "Restore iPhone" (NOT "Restore Backup") - Yes
    Are you with me so far? - Yes.
    And @ Varjak is right that after the 3rd restore I get the replacement error. 
    Plus I have NEVER jailbroken the iPhone. To give you another update, I spoke to a really nice apple tech in India who was atleast able to get me out of the replacement error by doing a recovery mode option. However, the lastest restore still gives me the same error

  • If I need a full rman restore which backups will it use?

    Hello,
    I have a database 11.1.0.7 with 8TB. Block change tracking is enabled.
    At the weekend I take level 0 backup and during the week level 1 cumulative.
    For some weeks the level 0 backup is failing, so I only have level 1 cumulative backups taken every week day with a 4 weeks old level 0 backup.
    If I need a full rman restore which backups will it use? Will it be the last level 0 backup with the last level 1 cumulative?
    I ask this because grid crontrol tells me that the recent level 1 backups input size is smaller than last week level 1 backups and in between I dont have any level 0 sucessfull backups. Shouldn't the input size of level 1 cumulative increase until the next level 0 backup ?
    The grid reports:

    From http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmvalid.htm
    Validating Backups Before Restoring Them
    You can run RESTORE ... VALIDATE to test whether RMAN can restore a specific file or set of files from a backup. RMAN chooses which backups to use.
    The database must be mounted or open for this command. You do not have to take datafiles offline when validating the restore of datafiles, because validation of backups of the datafiles only reads the backups and does not affect the production datafiles.
    When validating files on disk or tape, RMAN reads all blocks in the backup piece or image copy. RMAN also validates offsite backups. The validation is identical to a real restore operation except that RMAN does not write output files.
    You can monitor what RESTORE VALIDATE does.
    Make precautions, so you do not damage the production DB!!!

  • My 2008 Macbook froze (though iTunes kept playing), and wouldn't turn off, so I had to take the battery out to turn it off. However, it is not turning on. The battery was in condition of "needs to be replaced soon", but is there any way I can start it up?

    Last night, I was listening to a podcast, and my Mac froze. The mouse would not work, and neither would any of the buttons, but the podcast continued to play as if nothing was wrong.  I tried to turn it off and on with the power button, but it did not respond.  I had to take out the battery and put it back in.
    However, the Mac is no longer starting up. The battery was old, and needed to be replaced soon.  Because I have three important exams next week, and I have all of my notes on that device, I was wondering if there was a way to get the Macbook to work again, without taking the time to replace the battery? I've tried plugging it in, but it doesn't seem to charge.
    Thanks!

    Does the unit not run on the charger alone? (take the battery out and plug it in.)

  • Need Help in Replacement of Function Modules

    Hello all,
    I am working on Upgrade project from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0. I am facing problems for Replacement of two Obsolete Function Modules. Please give me a solution. FM's  are as follows.
    1) SET_AUTHORITY : This FM is obsolete in ECC 6.0 and there is not alternative FM present in help.sap.com or any other web portal.
    2) WS_QUERY : Here as per my knowledge we use class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES and methods FILE_EXIST or DIRECTORY_EXIST as per the parameters in old FM. For parameter 'FS' we use 'FILE_EXIST' and 'DS' we use 'DIRECTORY EXIST'.
    But in our program prev. FM has parameter 'OS' i.e. Operating System.
    But there is not method called 'OS EXIST' or similar. Please suggest suitable method.
    Thanking you all in anticipation.
    Best Regards,
    Harish

    Hi Harish,
                       I too could not find any replacement for SET_AUTHORITY
    Obsolete Modules can be used in newer versions, but it is not supported by SAP in case of any technical issues.If you still need a replacement, you can replace it by the source code in the FM SET_AUTHORITY itself and modify according to your needs.
    Below is the source code of FM SET_AUTHORITY, so you can modify it according to your requirement.

  • My brand new phone needs to be replaced but i dont want a referbished one

    i've had my droid dna for a little under 5 months. it needs to be replaced. i've had nothing but issues with it. ive had the SIM card replaced 3 times now, its been reset and everything and it still has issues dropping calls constantly, won't let me access my apps, or gets a defective sim card sign at the top and i have to shut it off and back on to get it to work again. my problem is, i just got this phone, i dont want to trade for a refurbished one. i didnt pay over 200$ for this plus my upgrade to trade it for a refurbished phone with all their issues. ive never had anything but problems with them. my last phone (a gem) had to be replaced 4 times. i want a new phone. so my question is who do i need to talk to or what do i need to do to get a new one?

    They will send you a refurbished one rest assured.  Here's how to beat them at their game.
    Go to any local Verizon phone store and sign up for $21.05 for GRIP & New Policy.  You will get a new phone for the discounted price(any phone that you want).  They will take your old phone, must be in good working condition. You don't even have to extend your Verizon Contract.  Once you have your new phone you can cancel the GRIP contract or keep it. I would keep the contract, this way you can walk into any Verizon Store and get a new phone anytime you want for the discounted price. (NO EXTENSION ON YOUR CONTRACT).  Verizon Stores are independent contractors and will explain all the details to you.

    Hi Janice,
    What version of Mac OS are you using?
    Adobe does not recommend migrating the software from one disk to the other.
    Please run the setup file for Acrobat and reinstall the software. You might want to delete the existing version of Acrobat installed before reinstalling it.

    Lcd Needs to Be replaced on macbook air 13 mid 2012 model a1466. Is an screen from MBA 13 mid 2011 model a1369 also compatible?

    Well that's only a possibility, not likely. I'll stick with Mac as much as I can, which I imagine will mostly be ok. If I have to, I'll use their computers in class and do PC homework assignments from home on my more powerful iMac. The only thing I really thought about before buying it was its portability and the fact that I won't be using it for actual programming jobs after school. This is merely to get me through school.

  • Error: Ink Needs to be Replaced - HP Officejet 4635

    Hello! I've been having some issues with my HP Officejet 4635. I just enrolled with HP Instant Ink and recieved the two cartridges. The black cartridge is the only one working. The printer keeps saying that the color cartridge must be replaced. Before I enrolled with HP Instant Ink, I was using HP genuine cartridges and do use another older HP printer.I have tried *everything* in the help FAQs: wiping the electrical contacts as instructed, restarting the printer by unplugging the power cords, re-inserting the cartridge, etc. So please spare me those instructions again, ugh. I also checked for driver updates and such. I'm going to guess that the electrical contacts in the printer are damaged? The error says the cartridge needs to be replaced. Is there a way to hack or bypass this because the color catridge is brand new. Please help and thank you. 

    Thanks -  I chatted online with HP and that is exactly what they had me try but still had no luck so they seem to think it is a defective cartridge and are sending a new one.  I don't think that it is the cartridge but maybe in the compartment where the cartridge goes.  Unfortunately it is really hard to get your finger in there to clean.  I put in a new hp cartridge yesterday and for the time being it is working.  If it happens again I guess I will figure a better way to clean in the unit.

  • Older MacPro Tower - Optical Drive needs to be replaced

    I have an older MacPro Tower (OS X 10.7.5) and my original optical drive needs to be replaced.  I need to read and write CDs and DVDs.  I also occasionally need to read and write DVD+R DL (dual layer) media.
    Could I use a unit like the Pioneer BDR-209 DBK?  Will it work reliably with CD and DVD media?  The reason I ask is that as BDR media drops in price, I would like to start using this (due to the higher capacity) for backing up data.
    I'm hoping to be able to confirm this unit will work before purchasing it.  If there is a better alternative, please let me know.  If there is a reason to stay with a traditional CD/DVD writer, then please tell me and recommend a good unit that is reasonable and reliable.
    Thank you.

    here's my 2 cents on this: there should be 2 sata ports on your logic boards. However, getting to them is a pain in the rear. If you want to try that way, by all means do so. However, you can get a Sata to Pata bridge board which attaches to the rear of the Sata drive and lets it be used without having to try to find the sata connectors.  That way you can use more modern drives.  I bought something from MCE and it worked just fine (it's a blu-ray, btw). Installation was a snap.  My original CD/DVD drive failed and I didn't want to mess around trying to find a replacement ATAPI (or PATA) drive. The only real caveats I have to tell you are: If you want to play and view Blu-Ray discs in your MacPro tower, you'll have to buy a 2nd party blu ray player. Same with burning Blu-ray discs. You'll have to buy some kind of upgrade to Toast if that's what you used to burn stuff before.  however, if all you want to do is burn standard CD's and DVD's then it'll work just fine. the pioneer may have issues with sleeping, but I can't confirm this for sure either way
    just my opinion on this.
