My phone is water damaged. Will no longer connect to phone nor wi-fi. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions to dry out an iPhone dropped in water?

The most cited method is to stick it in a plastic bag of uncooked rice, and leave it for a week or even two.  Change the rice every couple of days though.  That will draw out the moisture, but it still may be fried anyway (odds are that anything major happened as soon as it got wet, and things started shorting out).

  • If I have a phone on the old 50 dollar plan(unlimited text, call, and web), but my phone got water damage, can i switch a new phone to the same plan?

    Hey!
    So my phone somehow got water damage and I cannot fix it. I was waiting til the last possible moment to transfer my number over and now the time has come. However, when I went to change my phone, the plan that I currently have was no longer offered as an option. Is there any way that I can switch phones and keep the same plan? If so, how can I do that? I need my phone as soon as I can get it because I have important business that must be dealt with and that is the only way I can deal with it currently. Please help me! I have a Pantech Caper and my new phone is also a Pantech Caper.
    Thanks!

        JanelleNaomi,
    I'm glad to hear you already have another phone to use. It can be stressful to be without one. You should be able to use your old $50.00 plan, but you will have to call our Prepay Department at 1-888-294-6804 to to connect the replacement phone to your number and that plan.

  • If my iphone screen is cracked but it also has water damage will it be covered under applecare?

    If my Iphone screen is cracked but it also has water damage will it be covered under applecare since i need the screen replaced?

    Neither of those is covered by the standard one-year warranty.
    If you purchased AppleCare+, you may be able to get it replaced for $79+ tax; otherwise, you will most likely be paying $269+ tax to replace the phone.

  • Itunes will no longer recognize my phone

    I just bought the iPhone 5c. When I plugged it in to my old itunes it synced all of my old music. I wanted to start fresh so i made an icloud account and deleted all of those songs. I then signed on with my new account. After this, itunes will no longer display my phone as a device. I tried everything from reinstalling itunes to checking the Apple Mobile Device services and still nothing. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong so I can get some music?!

    1-reinstall itunes(to last version)
    2-reset all setting from settings(on iPhone)
    3-change port of usb to your Computer

  • Music I have on iTunes on  comp wont sync to iphone plus music I bought through phone will no longer play on phone after I synced to my comp.

    Just bought music on iTunes from phone and then synced to iTunes on my computer and now the music I bought through the phone will not play but still remains in my music library. Also music that I had in my library from ripped CDs and other resources will no longer play on phone but will on the computer. How can I fix this problem?

    In my Sync vehicle, I had to "forget" the SYnc connection in the iPhone Bluetooth settings, then go into the car menu and delete the bluetooth device from the vehicle's system. Once I re-paired from scratch, it has been working fine. Give that a try. If not, try removing the connection from both sides again, then Reset Network Settings from the General Settings before re-pairing.

  • IPhone 4s 5.0.1 will no longer connect to wifi

    Updated to iOS 5.0.1 and now my 4s will no longer connect to wifi.  iOS 5.0 worked perfectly.  Now the phone tries to connect to wifi but fails every time and the battery drains faster than water from an unstopped sink. My guess is that the battery drain is due to the phone trying to connect to wifi.  I have done all the usual things.  My phone is 4 ft from my router (and it worked perfectly under iOS 5.0).  I have restored the phone on iTunes with no change.  I would love to go back to iOS 5.0.

    Just checked my wife's iPhone 4.  Did an over the air update to 5.0.1 and apparently that killed the wifi on that phone as well.  My iPad 1 and iPod Touch works fine.

  • My iPhone 4s will no longer connect to my computer

    My iPhone 4s will no longer connect to my computer. I recently converted to iOS6. I am not sure if problem started before or after conversion. It used to connect to computer (using XP professional) via hotwire but no longer connects. I tried connecting while phone was on and while phone was shut down. Neither works. I am not getting any indication that power is going to iPhone. I also unsuccessfully tried using different wires. 

    my friend using a good flaslihght, check your goldplated dataport conectors in the phone for corrosion/oxidation/dirt. most problems we see like this are because of bad/missing dataports. do you have a continuity tester?

  • Since updating my ipad it will no longer connect to the internet

    since i've updated my software on my ipad it will no longer connect to the internet. my husbands iphone will not connect either. my laptop connects immediately and my internet signal is full strength. is there something we are missing?

    Hello dchoffa,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I would start with this troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    If the above troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try the troubleshooting in one of the other sections down toward the bottom that fits your scenario.

  • TS3581 iOS 6.1 update - iPhone will no longer connect/pair with my car.  Is there a workaround for this issue?

    After the 6.1 update my iPhone 4S will no longer connect with my car stereo (2012 Chevy Sonic).  Until update, everything was working fine and I experienced no such issues.  I have tried deleting my phone from my stereo memory and re-pairing, but I get a pair unsuccessful error on my iPhone; I have been able to pair a pre-6.1 iPhone successfully after discovering the problem.  Has anyone found a workaround to this issue?

    IIRC updating the iPhone iOS changes its characteristics when viewed by vehicle
    bluetooth
    That is why you need to remove pairing from both ends and start again
    Vehicle just does not recognise the iPhone as the one it previously paired with
