IPhone Touchscreen Malfunction Not Activated

Hi I bought my iphone on ebay (nib) and while I was playing with it I noticed that I could not touch the little info icon on the bottom right of the screen (not activated) I tried everything and it appears to not respond to touch in that area. I wanted to know if I could take it to an apple store for check up and if I would need the receipt in order to get help from apple.

Go here and enter your phone's serial number to see its warranty information:
[Apple warranty lookup|https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do]
You should be able to take it in for exchange, since no one's owned one past a year yet. The warranty is valid whether it's activated or not, and began at its first purchase... unless it's a refurb unit, which has a later beginning date.
(In a little over a month, hundreds of thousands will begin to fall out of warranty, if they don't get extended with Applecare. Considering the touch screen failures, people might be wise to extend.)

    You can only purchase apps and other media for the county's sore in which yu are located. You account, included payment method, also must be associated with that country.
    Sam applies for updating apps. Note that not all apps are available in all country so y will not be able to update an app if you are in another country and that app is not available in that country or your account is not associated with that country.

    The problem is your phone was illegally unlocked and jailbroken. When you upgraded it took the unlock off and now it is locked to the original carrier it was locked to. You will not be able to unlock it now.

    thanks.

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

    Then that isn't the issue...
    Have you tried adding a test calendar event and test contact on both your phone and Mac, then checking icloud.com to see which, if either, appear there?  If not, I would suggest doing so as that will help narrow down which one is the issue, or confirm that it's both of them.

Jiri cZech republick

    It was bought from an second hand shop, called cash conventors, which you give your old electricals in and you get money for it, then they put those electricals for sale and i bought this iphone that way
    It was working fine before but i couldnt call people as it said "call failed" and then there was a call back option which leads you to the home screen !
    I have restored my iphone and now it says :
    the iphone could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Please connect to itunes to activate it or try again in a few minutes.
    iTunes says: There is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are trying to activate.       Please disconnect and insert a sim card in the iPhone.
    There already is a valid simcard in the iPhone though!!!!!!!!!!!!

    please help?

    You need to have a valid working messaging plan, and be connected to your cellular network in order to complete FaceTime activation for your number (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367).  You might want to check with your carrier to make sure you plan is properly provisioned if you think either of these might be an issue.

  • HT201407 I obviously can't get into my iPhone if its not activated so how am I supposed to restore it?

    I can't even get into my iPhone so the only thing I can do right now is connect it to wifi and try to get it to activate. It won't activate, even when it is connected to iTunes.

    Apple's activation servers are probably very busy. You may want to wait for a little while before trying again.
