My phone is no longer charging and not turning on.
Good days guys,
Just need your expertise on this.
Few weeks ago, I was charging my phone iPhone 4S on my computer through USB and the metal side of the phone accidentaly hit a metal stand that has a ground in it. The phone sparked as soon as it hit the metal like a spark on a welding machine and after that, the phone completely shut down. No longer turing on and not charging when plugged. I also noticed that while I tried to charge the phone the phone gets insanely hot at the back and I can feel it on the metal side.
Is there a chance for this phone to be repaired?
Thanks for your advise in advance!
At Apple Store battery replacement is $80, or Replacement iPhone 4S is $199. Try battery replacement, if still problem, replace iPhone charging port assembly with lower mic and home button flex connector, if still problem, logic board is damaged which may be a very difficult repair.

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.
How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

Since updating my iphone 4S to ios 7.1 my phone will no longer ring and apps do not have sound. I have made sure the do not disturb is not turned on and have also gone into Accessibility and made sure sound is not off there. I have done a reboot and also a reset of the settings. When I set my ring tone, the sample tone plays, however, the phone only vibrates when I get a call. The apps also do not have any sound. Everything was working fine until the update.
I am positive the half moon isn't there. That one caught me once before so now I am careful to check.
Thanks for the idea tho! -
My touch screen is not responding, I have reset the phone, plugged into different charger and tried to update it to itunes but they will not connect because I cannot put my passcode in, HELP please!
ME TOO. NOW MY IPHONE 6 PLUS IS SAME LIKE YOU.
iphone is diabled- connect to iTunes because i forget passcode.
i cannot connect iTunes because it's always asking to enter passcode on iphone.
So, i cannot make restore my iphone 6+. And then, I cann't erase "device" in icloud.
My iphone is new. No icloud. didn't connect to itune backage.
That's why I try to connect iTunes but it need to enter passcode.
So, my iphone just keep "iphone is disbled-connect to iTunes".

I tried to reset my iPhone (3gs) with deleting all data. When it power off and automatically again on then it is showing Apple logo only. Not restore and startup my phone. iPhone alerming low charge and I tried to charge and not charging.
What I should do now?Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new". -
Plugged phone up to the charger and it will not turn back on
Last night when i was going to bed i plugged my phone up to the charger and it started to update with the newest software which was 7.1.something? and this morning when i woke up my phone was turned off and will not turn back on, when you attempt to turn the phone on it flashes a screen that has a blue dot and a picture of the charging cable and just says i tunes. How can I fix my phone? I am trying to download itunes to my computer now but not sure it will fully work.
rhughes18,
I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your device after the update. To fix this you must plug your device into the computer with iTunes open and go through the activation process. Let us know if the device comes back on after plugging it into iTunes.

I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?
While both the iPhone and the iPad use an Apple dock cable for charging, the iPad wants a 1100 mA charger, and the iPhone charger's a 500 mA charger. USB ports on newer Apple computers can switch into 1100 mA mode, but your average computer is going to put out no more than 500 mA and, possibly, quite less (for example, an un-powered USB hub will only put out 100 mA or so, and an iPad won't charge off that). The iPad will say "not charging" if it is trickle-charging (receiving less than 1000 mA of power).
If the problem persists when using the 1100 mA iPad charger, you need to take it to an Apple store and have it serviced or replaced. Bring the iPad charger that you received with the iPad as it may be that the charger is defective and not putting out 1100 mA.
If the problem is that it charges slow because it's being connected to iPhone chargers or PCs or older Macs, then it's not a problem with the iPad. It's charging, it just takes a long time because you are using an under-powered charger. -
Anyone know how to reset my iphone vm password (so I can listen to my messages) while in Canada and not turning on cellular so I don't get charged for roaming? Verizon says its an iphone issue and Apple says to contact my carrier?! I don't want to pay for roaming and I am able to use my phone fine and also connect to wifi while at friend's houses etc.
It's not a Verizon reset - under General and phone there is a place to reset my password however I can't do it without cellular turned on.

It sounds like your phone is in recovery mode, which means it needs to be restored through iTunes on your computer in order to get out of it.

Why when I set up my Country or Region on my iPhone 5, the default language of the phone is the country's and not the one I selected when I set up my preferred language?
Go to Settings/General/Reset and choose Reset All Content and Settings. This will erase everything on the iPhone and allow you to set it up again as new with the proper Apple ID.

My ipad 2 has suddenly died. It is not charging and not working. It is under the one year warranty. Does anybody have experienced such problem?
If you are stuck with the Apple logo then the last section on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281 suggests putting the iPad into recovery mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097 (which so far I havn't need to do with mine)
