Software completely reset after a screen replacement.

Is it normal that my software has been totally reset after that? It doesn't make much sense. P.S. Is there a way of getting at least some of my settings back? Thank you!

Hi,
When the phone is examined/repaired at an authorized service center, the software will be updated/reset. I think this is done to make sure that the unit leaves the service center with the latest software available for your unit and also so they can make sure that all functions of the phone works correctly after the repair.
If you have not done any backup of your unit, it will unfortunately not be possible to restore any data.

Ipod touch 4th generation camera doesn't work after smashed screen replacement

I have an ipod touch 4th generation that i smashed to screen with a torch, i got the screen replaced however my camera shutter will NOT open at all, i can go into camera roll and everything BUT the shutter wont open and the slide to go from camera to video just blinks a few times. Ive tried everything from turning it off and on(note my off/top button doesn't work) I had problems with the camera before i had the screen replaced but now it doesn't work at all. And will resetting and/or restarting it through iTunes delete ANY of the conent i have on my Ipod?
Any help much appreciated as i can NOT afford to get it fixed at Apple!!

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
In that case take it back to the people who replaced the screen. They likely messed something up unless what broke the screen and broke the camera.

Iphone 4s shuts off when it has a full battery and says its dead. This started happening right after a screen replacement.

I have an iphone 4s and ever since the screen was replaced. It has been shutting down with a full battery saying its dead. Can someone help me?

Hi Dcp019,
There's a section in this article for power issues like unexpected power off.

If the issue started after a repair however, you may want to check with them about the repair.

No loudspeaker audio after iphone4 screen replacement - help please

Hi All
I recently replaced the damaged screen of an iPhone4, when it all went back together everything worked fine except for problems with the loudspeaker, which worked perfectly before i started working on it. It is strange though that it will play ring tones perfectly well but no music, video, you tube etc
Tested speaker by changing ring tone - could hear through loudspeaker ok.
I am unable to increase (or decrease) the sound bar using the side control buttons (though could when testing with ringtones)
When making a call, switching to speaker works fine.
Occasionally hear the first two screen clicks when entering lock code.
have checked mute isn't switched on.
Works fine through headphones.
Have checked all settings regarding to the sound and all are set as expected.
Have cleaned all contacts with acetone
Have cleaned speakers with dry brush and air spray.
Have tried changing the speaker unit with no change (though i didn't think it would make any difference as the call on speaker worked)
This is now driving me nuts and i was only doing a pal a favour, and could really do without having to try and explain this to him. So any tips/advise or even guesses would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

thats strange that sounds word on certain apps but not on others .... did u happen to try a phone reset // by holding power and home buttons until the device resets and you see the apple logo?

Iphone won't power on after screen replacement

So I've dropped my Iphone 4S once and screen showed blue vertical lines. I replaced the screen for about $120. After 6 months or so I dropped it again and the screen cracked. I decided to replace the screen on my own so I got a new one and replaced it, but the phone doesn't power on after the screen replacement. I plugged it on charger, did a hard reset but still nothing. I plugged it on pc and it was recognized by the itunes! As it was plugged on pc, I did a reboot again and it left itunes as if it was powered on and suddenly powered off. Still plugged in I tried to power it on again, it was recognized again by the itunes but the screen still wasn't working. Another thing is that it burns a lot without even being on charger or on pc, and I need to take the battery off.

Sorry. There's not much we can suggest. Apple won't touch that phone now.
Try looking for advice someplace like ifixit.com.

What do I do if my iPod touch 8g 4g has a white screen after screen replacement ? I tried holding down the volume up button, the power button, and the home button all at the same time but my screen just went black and it wont turn on.

it just wont turn on after repair on the screen

If it never worked after the screen replacement then it would appear that you have a hardware problem either caused by the repair or the problem that lead to the screen replacement.

After having upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2, I can not turn on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. After trying various tricks I found via online forums such as software reset, enable Airplane mode, and resetting the network settings, I have now also completed reset

After having upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2, I can not turn on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. After trying various tricks I found via online forums such as software reset, enable Airplane mode, and resetting the network settings, I have now also completed reset of the phone WITHOUT success. Is there something more to it? If not learn hardly be any more iPhone for me. Really disappointed. Grateful for help!

If you have tried all of the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 and have completed all of the user troubleshooting, restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new, then make an appointment with the Apple store to have the hardware checked.

Lost Vibration after Screen Replacement 1520

Hi All,
I went to a Nokia Care Centre and did replace the screen after crack happened to the old one. Noticed the Vibration more precisely the haptic feedback is not working at all. Took it back to them and apparently they checked everything and found all function OK. Did a hard reset but sadly nothing changed.
Now, I'm lost, I don't know if that is a software issue or a hardware damage caused by the Nokia Care Centre's technician!!!
I need to be guided please,
Thank You.

This just happened to me!!!!! I had my screen replaced by Palco about a month ago. When i got it back, all was well--except no vibration. The haptic feedback on the home button, etc. was not nearly as bothersome as the fact that I cannot put my phone on vibrate now because it does nothing to alert me of calls and texts. I have to have my sound on 100% of the time and that is annoying!
I don't want to send it all the way back for more repairs, but I think I may have to. Pretty lame "repair" by Palco. Cost for replacing the screen was half what others charged, but they ended up cracking the polycarbonate and breaking the vibra motor.

MacBook Pro Freezing After Screen Replacement

I recently took my MBP in to get the screen replaced due to a screen separation issue. When I got it back it froze every now and then, but it kept continuing. Everytime I restart the computer after a freeze it will freeze up sooner and sooner. At first I thought it was a RAM issue since it particularly did it while watching videos, so I bought new RAM and it continued to freeze. Tested the new and the old RAM, but they were fine. I took it to the Genius Bar and the guy said it was a failing harddrive. Got a new harddrive upgraded to Lion and it is still freezing. I asked if something could have gone wrong when the screen was replaced and he assured me no and even if something had gone wrong they wouldn't cover it unless the actual screen was broken.
If I leave the computer off for a day it will take about 30 min before the 1st freeze, then after restart about 15 min, then 10 min, then 5 min until it will only log in then freeze.
Any guesses as to what could be causing the freezing and if it would be worth fixing as this MBP needs a new battery, a new drive (since the drive is on loan), and has the flickering screen issue?
Late 2008 MacBook Pro
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Screen Replaced Jan 8, 2012

Thanks for the reply. As an update, I took it into the Apple store again and it froze while they were trying to run the test. This time the guy said it was covered by the repair warrenty. After 2 weeks without a computer because something was wrong with the graphics cards they called me back and said they were just going to give me a late 2011 mid-range MBP. So I currently have a brand new MBP with no issues
Yeah... 3.5 years and they just release that fix for flickering screens. I hope it works for everyone. I know some people had some major issues with it.

How do i get my screen replaced on my iphone 4? it fell off my bedside table and the screen has completely shattered?!

The screen on my iphone 4 has completely shattered after it fell off my bedside table? i am very careful with my phone and have rarely dropped it, never onto concrete or such and never from very high. thanks x

Take it to Apple and pay the Out of Warranty replacement price. In the US that is $149 for the iPhone 4.

IPad Glitch After Screen Replacement

I had my iPad screen replaced and just got it back today. It turns on okay and is useable... a little. It refuses to let me open certain apps.(ex. App Store) When i type, sometime the ipad wont let me press certain letters or links. I have tried turning the ipad off completely and have reset my settings. Nothing seems to work. I can't tell if my LCD has been damaged or not conected correctly. I use this iPad for school so i need help ASAP.

If you have Restored it both from your backup and as a new device and it still does not work then it is indeed a hardware issue. It could be a defective salvaged screen/digitizer or the logic board.

Wi-Fi not working a few months after screen replacement.

Hi all,
Recently bought a used iPhone, and the previous (original) owner had the screen replaced after dropping it. Apparently, the phone was working absolutely perfect after the screen was replaced, and then a few months after, the wi-fi stopped working. Everything else in the phone is working perfectly fine.
I'm guessing this is probably just a loose connection or something, but could someone give me a possible cause?
Thanks!

My wife had the same problem with iPad 2 after upgrade to 6.0. Don't know if it was important but she had NOT upgraded to iTunes 10.7. I ended up doing a DFU restore and then restored software (still IOS 6.0) and then a iCloud restore and everything was fine with the WiFi . Restoring all music and photos now.

HELP: I sync my iphone ios 4 to another iphone ios5, sync was completed but after a few mins, iphone will auto restart and freezes at the home screen which I can't unlock. I have to hold the "home" "off" button to restart the phone.

Dear all, please hel!!
I sync my iphone ios 4 to another iphone ios5, sync was completed but after a few secs, the iphone with the IOS 5 firmware will auto restart and freezes at the home screen which I can't unlock. It will then freeze for a few secs before repeating the restart phase again and again and again.
To solve this issue, I have to hold the "home" + "off" button to restart the phone. Afterwhich, it will restart the phone. However, although my stuff are still on the phone, all my sms are gone.
Can someone please assist urgently.
My data was transferred from another iphone 3GS which is running an IOS 4.0.1 to another 3GS running ios 5.0.1
Is there a serious compatibility issue with both firmware?
Please help.
Thanks!

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

Trying to restart my HP touchpad after complete reset.

did a complete reset on my HP. upon restarting, it asked for language..given. it asked for country...given. then it shows the networks it can find and posts them on a list. then it ased for a password. my WIFI is Netgear....it lists the Networks it can find , then it asked for the password. I have used this WIFI router for over 4 years and use it on another HP, Apple IPad and my grandaughters (2) Ipad's and have no trouble with this password. when I hit <enter> the activity circle spinns and then in red letters, "no such network has been found with this password. The password I put in is the password printed on the Router. attempts to go further are completely blocked and it dumps you back to "language". any suggestions. I cannot do anything further on this computer to get it back up and running. HELP PLEASE.....

The router resetting advice above is good. Check your router doesn't have a list of allowed devices. If it does, then remember to tell it to scan for your device when you first connect. I'd also suggest checking the router to see if the device has actually connected or not - most routers have a web interface. Check also the wifi symbol on the TP if it's visible.
If it appears that the device is connecting and the router shows it as connected to the network (and your other devices work), then the error message would suggest that the tablet can't connect the the resource it seeks. In the event of a total reset or freshly doctored device, this would be the HP servers for profile creation - which were switched off on the 15th of April.
If this is happening after a reset and you are not able to use the TouchPad at all, then I'd guess you might have the activation problem.
