Issues with battery and home button replacement programme

Hi!
     I've just found out I'm eligible for iPhone 5 battery and home button replacement programme. I have replaced screen after it broke, 2 months ago in an unauthorised service. Every single authorised service I've called refuses to replace them for free with an explanation that my phone is no longer eligible for free batt. and home button replacement due to unauthorised screen replacement that leads to warrantee loss .
     My iPhone's warrantee has expired long time ago, since I've bought it in 2013. , but this mistake was made in a factory, prior to my screen replacement. What shall I do?

Yes, that is correct. You can try asking if you can pay to replace the screen and see if they will then handle the other issues. But, I doubt they'll agree.

    Apple does not repair devices, they replace them.

    Select your country from the drop down list.
    Select Express Replacement Service then "My iPhone is not Under Warranty".

  • Anyone else having issues with white iphone4 home button?

    so i have come across this stuff here and there but i am pointing more towards people from India..
    You all know how Pathetic apple is at India because of not having major share holding...
    My White iPhone 4 purchased in july on the same date as launch in India has issues with the home button.. It sometimes becomes unresponsive.. Stays like that for 5-15 seconds as it varies and then starts working..
    I don't understand if it is hardware or software issue.. Sometimes for weeks it doesn't happen and then it could happen way too much... i went to the iStore guys and they told me to restore it as its a software issue..
    I wanted to know if any of you faced that and what did you do? did you get a replacement? since it happens occasionally i cant show the store guys that it is happening so they won't replace.

    My experience with home button:
    Mine did not work sometimes also; but I found this was due to "how" i was pressing the button. There must have been some dust under it because if you pressed it in a certain place; the button would press in but this would not register until you pressed really quite hard.
    Pressing in any other place and the click seemed to register.
    Try it and see if it is the same for you? Can you press your button in a place and it doesnt register (mine was at the top of the white square on the button)...
    I had mine replaced under warranty from my Apple Store.

  • My ipad battery and home button are broken but I have no insurance

    I got a keyboard for my ipad and since using it the battery has gone. It takes around 8 hours to charge and the drains in 1 hour. You can't use it whilst it is charging either. Also the button has stopped working so I can't use that. Does anyone have a rough idea on how much this will cost as I have no insurance on it? Thanks

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • Having issues with longMessage and back button usage

    Hello,
    I have part of an app that consists of 2 pages. The first page is a set of checkboxes and an Analyze (submit) button. when the user hits Analyze, I commit the transaction and forward to the second page which displays the checkboxes they checked and some other information regarding those choices. If a user wants to change their answers, they use the browser's back button and change their choices, then click Analyze again. This is working fine.
    I now want to add a longMessage to each checkbox above with some additional information about each choice. I've setup these up and they work fine; the dialog box launches just fine when they click the little (i) icon.
    So that's the status quo; here's my problem:
    Scenario
    1. User clicks one of the longMessage icons
    2. clears that box by clicking OK
    3. then hits Analyze to progress to the second page
    4. now user hits browser's Back button to go back to questions
    5. PROBLEM
    At this point, all my checkboxes are blank. If I try to re-check one and hit Analyze, I get an error stating "No current row for View (XXXLProcNavVO1)"
    If I don't ever click a longMessage icon, everything works fine. I can only replicate this if I follow the exact steps in the scenario.
    So what is wrong? Why am I losing my current row in my VO when I use the longMessage?
    I've included my CO from page 1 for reference below.
    Thanks!

  • Pass/Fail issue with Quiz and Click Buttons

    Got a complicated one for ya!
    I have a project that has about 100 quiz questions.  I want to add slides with an image for backgrownd, a voice over and a "Click Button" to be used like a Simulation.  If the "Click Button" is not clicked on, I want the slide to act like a Quiz and be marked as wrong.
    At the end of the Quiz I want the Pass/Fail function to be: If Pass: "Continue" then if Fail "Jump to Slide". This Failed Slide would jump to the last slide; the end of the project with a "Thank you".  If Passed, the project continues to display more information on other slides.
    The tests I have done the Pass/Fail seems to not be working.  If failed, the project continues just like the Passed even though the "Pass/Fail" options are marked correctly.
    What do you think?

    Also check the options under Quiz > Settings > Required.  It could be that you have it set to something other than Optional which might be restricting things.

  • Hold down sleep and home buttons to get power back to iPad 4 but nothing happens

    My iPad 4 was purchased 11/2013.  It's in pristine condition.  A few weeks ago i opened a email from a known source.  The screen vertical hold went loopy and then powered-off.  I held the sleep and home buttons and restarted and everything good.  Weeks later IOS 7.0.2 update loads. The next day I'm in my FaceBook sending a message and the iPad does the same crash.  Screen flips out, goes to blue then black.  When I try to reboot with sleep and home button, Apple logo appears, stays locked on screen.  I end-up at Apple Store.  They do a restore from a previous version.  Go home and same sceanrio.  Back to Apple Store.  This time they restore to like new system.  I'm going to have reload all apps and books, etc., - no big deal, but I have to charge battery to do.  I put on charger.  Few hours later when I take off the charger the iPad will not power on at all.  Any ideas out there?

    You could try restoring the device again on your own and see of that does any good, but Apple has the capability to restore software by more sophisticated means than we every day users have. My point is that if it were me, I would take it back to the same Apple Store, with the receipt, explain the situation and politely start pushing for a replacement device.
    This one seems like it will just cause problems for you moving forward and while it's still well within warranty limits, return it.

  • My iphone won't switch on. I've tried holding the power and home button more than 30 seconds up to a few minutes but it didn't switch on and went straight to recovery mode. It died of a low battery and i already fully charged it i checked with my itunes.

    i really need help here. I have only used my iphone for a month. my iphone won't switch on. it died of a low battery and i've already fully charged it and usually before it even fully charged, it will turn back on right but in my case nothing happened. i've tried holding the power and home button for 30 seconds and up to 2-3 minutes but no logo appear. it went straight to recovery mode. there's nothing wrong with my cable, i checked with itunes and  this happened once a week ago but it did switch back on after i tried a few times but now it just won't switch on. i also have problems with my screen as there's some noises to the screen (i hope you get me) and when i turned the camera on, it was as if the whole screen is shaking. i'm currently studying in the middle east and there's no apple store here so i cannot use my warranty. i will only be back home in summer. please help me what should i do to at least switch my iphone on first.

    I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
    My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
    After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think.

  • My Ipad 1 doesn't charge even after 5 hours of charging. I tried pressing the power and home button to reset it (even tried toggling the mute button a few times), but It doesn't start up with the apple logo. Anyone has any ideas what else can I try

    a have tried everyting now a dont have a clue what too do??

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good. If your computer/iTunes does not recognize the iPad, then the cable is probably bad.
    Try this first -  Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • What is going on with the Iphone4 home button.  I see lots of people having issues, but not resolution.  I am running 4.2, but based on what I have read, 4.3 does not help.  Apple has to do something about this, as it is affecting lots of people.

    Restrore
    ReSync
    Push harder,
    etc.

    No they do not and no it is not affecting a large portion of the user community.
    If it is an actual hardware issue, the only fix is to repair or replace the hardware.
    If it is a software issue, restoring as new will fix it.

  • My iphone 4s not turnong on...pluged the charger display shows red battery sts bar but after holding power and home button it doesnt reboot:(

    pls  pls

    What on earth do you mean by shattered? Can you post a picture?
    It's always possible that the connector was damaged but not to the point that chargers wouldn't work. With continued use, the damage got worse until the connector could no longer feed electricity into the phone.
    It sounds to me like you need to get your phone replaced but only the folks at an Apple store can say for sure.
