TS4006 Find my iPhone is switched off

Nowadays everyone knows about the App Find my iPhone, so the at moment they steal it they can immediately switch off the Find my iPhone from the settings. and then what? it happened to a friend and at once his iPhone disappeared from the list of devices. what now? is there any other way to try to find his iPhone?
Thanks in advance!

You can prevent someone from turning off the Find My iPhone service by using restrictions (in settings).  But a thief can easily keep the phone turned off or pull out the sim card to prevent sensing its location.  It's been said here before, the service is more apt for finding a lost device, not a stolen one.

  • Using the Cyclops speed camera app, the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a few minutes. Any ideas?

    when using the Cyclops speed camera app the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a short while. If I close the app and reopen it, there's still no sound. If I restar the phone and open Cyclops I get sound "welcome to Cyclops" or whatever the greeting is. Has anyone got any ideas?

    I've taken several Express devices apart in the past to experiment with them. The internal components warm up quite a bit in the first 10-15 seconds. They continue to heat up after this.  It takes 3-4 minutes or so before the heat transfers to the outer case for dissipation.
    Nothing is certain, but I'm 95% sure that this is your issue.  But, trying to find a microscopic break in a circuit board trace is, as I mentioned, a real longshot. If you have the time and have done things like this before, it might be worth a shot.
    I guess the bottom line is that even if this is not the issue, the device will still need to be replaced since Apple does not offer repairs. There are no software or firmware fixes for somthing like this.

  • Iphone 4 switches off

    my iphone 4 switches off when i insert the sim. dont know what to do??

    Just want to inform you, that you are not alone. I wish to report the same problem. My brand new iPhone4 can not be switched on in the normal way. I have to press the on/off button and the home button for 10 sec. Phone restarts with the apple logo, than operates normally as long as i keep it awake. When i switch it off, it can be switched on for only 1 min. After 1 min it can not be switched on again, it has to be restarted by pressing the on/off button for 10 sec to restart it from scratch. This must be a serious hardware/software problem. Phone is not usable, I have to return it to the provider (T-Mobil Germany).

  • IPhone 3G switches off automatically

    My iphone 3G switches off automatically when the carrier GSM signal is very low. Has anybody faced this problem? If so please let me know about the possible solution. Thanks.

    No, it never works no matter where I am, its stuck. I haven't had 3G no matter where I've been for over a month now. I am sitting right next to other iphone users whose phone is on 3G with good signal strength (same iphone 3g and sw I'm running). It's always gotten 3G at my house, now it never stays on. I'm running the most recent SW. In Network settings I can switch it on, but the second I leave the screen it switches off. So annoying because I get feedback from computers and tv and it's SLOW!

    Hello s0ha1b
    If all you get is the Apple logo and it powering off, then the next step is to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, then you can put that on there to once the restore is complete.

    Turn it on.
    If it will not power on, try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
