US Iphone 4 failed in Hong Kong - Service Help Please

Greetings Gurus,
I just started a 3-week international tour with my iphone 4.  I'm in Hong Kong, then Singapore, then Amsterdam.  My iphone 4 died last night.  It just cycles between the boot-up apple and the "slide to open" screen about every 2 seconds until the battery runs down.  It does not respond to screen touch input at all, even when the slider is visible.  I was hoping that letting it totally discharge would reset it but applying power just starts the same cycle again.
I do not see any genius bar options in Hong Kong...still need to check Singapore and Amsterdam.  But I need my phone now.  Anyone have any ideas for help or service?  Anyone seen this problem before?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
tantrayogi

I'm from Scottsdale too.  Here in HK for the first leg of my trip.  I found an international support number for HK on the Apple support site.  They told me the same thing.  I did the factory restore and all seemed to be working.  But when it was done, it did the same thing.
Also thanks

I would feel totally bummed and actually quite PO'd if I cannot get service.  Apple should Fed Ex me a new phone if repair service is unavailable.  This one was a new replacement as of about June 3 for a separate hardware problem on my first one.  I'm paying a monthly fee to Verizon for a phone that doesn't work (violins playing in the background). 
Any more suggestions at this point would really help.
Thanks

  • IPhone 3G S in Hong Kong

    Did you folks know that the iPhone 3G S in Hong Kong is an unlocked phone? I had no idea! I wonder how someone in the U.S. can buy an iPhone 3G S from Hong Kong. I'd love to use my T-Mobile prepaid SIM card on an unlocked iPhone.

    But do you know using A-GPS requires data streaming? Especially Google Map requires a constant Internet connection. You can go purchase $99 Tom Tom or Navigon Map but again A-GPS requires some data to be transfered back/forth between the server to lock the satellites in order to locate your phone's position. The GPS position program in iPhone integrates WiFi, Cell Tower, and Internet Protocol to speed up the satellite log in process. You cannot limit the method to use for the A-GPS in iPhone.
    If you accidentally select Safari, Stock, Temperature, and any apps that requires Internet connection, then you will be charged by the data plan without clarification like those in Symbian OS. You can't turn off the data transfer unless you are roaming.
    So I suggest you don't try to be smart when using iPhone 3GS. It's basically a computer that has to be connected to the Internet to survive in order to get the most from the device. iPhone is not just a phone but a mobile communication computer.

    Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
    Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with.

    Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
    Or try Cerbu's post here.
    Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
    Please let us know which approach works for you...

  • How can I get my iPhone inspected/fixed (in Hong Kong)?

    I have just had an extremely unhelpful experience with Apple Store/Support, and am wondering if anyone has tips on how to get my iPhone repaired quicker.  I live in Hong Kong, so this is probably only of interest to community members here.
    My iPhone broke down over the weekend.  Half an hour or so ago, I visited the Apple Store in IFC Mall, and discovered it is now a requirement to make an online booking to seek help from the Genius Bar.  Luckily, an available member of staff did try to assist me.  So far so good.  After tinkering with my phone for a while, he concluded that I needed to have my phone inspected and, for that, I would need to make an online booking.  So I went back to my office and tried to book, only to find that "there are no available appointments".  I called the store, and discover that it is only possible to book for today and tomorrow.  The person on the phone tells me that I can try to book again later.  Bear in mind it is only 10am-ish here in Hong Kong, and bookings for the next 48 (working) hours are already full.  I do not want to risk waiting till tomorrow and discovering that, again, bookings are full.  The guy suggests that I try another store.  I am not keen as I work literally upstairs from the IFC Mall store and the others are far less convenient.  Reluctantly, I try to book elsewhere, but there are also no available appoitments at the other 2 Apple Stores either.  There are a small number of authorised support service providers dotted around Hong Kong, but none are terribly convenient, plus I prefer to do this via the Apple Store if at all possible - and preferably downstairs at the IFC Mall store so that drop-off and eventual pick-up can be easily done while at work.
    Is it just me or is this system very consumer-unfriendly?  I asked to speak to a manager at the IFC Mall store to ask if I could just drop my phone off for an inspection, and I was told (a) there isn't a manager in-store and (b) I could leave my name and number and a manager will call me back "in 48 hours".  Meanwhile, my phone does not work at all, yet all I need to do is to drop off my phone for an inspection (I don't even need anyone to look at it).  I have no idea if this is how the Genius Bar works in the rest of the world so maybe my expectations are too high.
    Anyway, does anyone have any ideas on how I can get some help from Apple on this?

    I'm pleased to report after a bit of persuasion, a second visit to the IFC Mall store this afternoon got me an ad hoc appointment at the Genius Bar so my phone is off for a repair now.

  • Hong Kong service

    Hi
    I have purchased my iPhone 5s from Hong Kong ,now it has some complaints and how can I get service from Hong Kong while I'm presently n India.

    You need to physically go to Hong Kong or mail the phone to a friend/relative & have them take the phone in for dervice. You can't mail it to Apple.
    One of the downsides to purchasing an iphone in a country you don't live in or intend to use the phone in.

  • What is the model number of the unlocked iPhone 5s sold in hong kong?

    Under apple's tech spec section they show 4 model numbers for Hong Kong but don't indicate which one is the unlocked version - the way they show data is very confusing - even if you put the phone in your shopping cart it shows a different "part number" than the model numbers shown for hong kong. I'm trying to compare bands and frequencies as I live in mainland China, and will be headed back to the US to live in about a year.

    Thanks, but still I need to know what is the model number (written on the Back)  of the unlock iphone 5S that sold in UK?

  • Will a Canadian iPhone 5s work in Hong Kong

    Hi,
    I just bought a new unlocked iphone 5s from apple store and i was wondering if it would work in hong kong. I am going down there for 6 months and i would like to use my phone down there...
    I don't care if LTE doesn't work as long as I can get internet on it and that i can use it to text and call people...

    Since it is an unlocked phone, it should work. Again, the warranty is only valid in Canada, and you understand it may not support all bands. Otherwise you should be alright. It is probably better to activate it in Canada before you leave.

  • Iphone 5 wont charge or turn on help please

    my iphone 5 wont charge I tried everything to turn it back on. It was working one minute but then I went to go use it and it wouldn't turn on, 10 hours later and it STILL won't turn on. It was fully charged, but I charged it some more just in case - didn't work. Then, I plugged it into my computer while holding the home button down in order to update/restore it. It updated but never restored, and after that it STILLLLL won't turn on. I then tried holding the home and lock button down together for a few minutes in order to restart it, yet it still won't turn on. It is getting extremely frustrating at this point. I googled any other solutions to this problem, but all of the solutions I've basically already tried, and ended up never working.
    Help, please?!
