Wet iPhone/ Hard Reset

My iPhone got wet on Thursday, from then on the sound wouldn't work other than calls, text tones, lock/unlock sounds, and keypad sounds didn't work at all. Then today it told me my phone has to be restored because i can't make or receive calls now. I tried to do a hard reset myself, and now it takes me thru the first 3 steps of setting up your iphone. Language>Country>Wi-Fi and then it says activating and it doesn't do anything. There is an option for iTunes sync, but i don't have a computer that i can download it on. I am at work and it wont allow me to download iTunes.

There's a good chance your circuitry was damaged by the water.

  • HT4623 Dead iphone 5s-hard reset doesnt work. Now what?

    We just got my daughter an iphone 5s. we went to update it last night and it turned off and wont turn back on. Screen is black, hard reset doesnt work, and it doesnt register on the phone to be plugged in/wont charge. Only had it about a week. Hasn't been dropped, or gotten wet. Im guessing we need a whole new phone? I hope not but..

    Call your phone carrier - that's a problem for them to resolve.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    You can also try going to Settings>General>Reset>Ease all content and Settings. However, you may not be able to restore via iTunes. You might only be able to only restore from iCloud backup if you have a hardware problem,

  • My iPhone 3gs will not turn on, charge, or allow me to perform a hard reset. iTunes nor my computer recognizes it andthe screen wont light up at all. What can I do to fix this?

    I have an iPhone 3gs that is out of warranty. I purchased this phone from AT&T. Last night my phoone went completely dead (battery percentage was at 96% just moments before) and now will not turn back on. I have tried just about everything I have found on discussion boards- trying hard reset, plugging into itunes, charging for15-20 mins then holding down sleep and homebuton..... NOTHING works. This phone will not light up AT ALL. My computer wont even recognize it. Is there anything else I can do?

    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

  • IPhone 4 won't charge despite restore, hard reset, and battery change

    I have an iPhone 4 (factory unlocked, iOS 5.1.1) that is no longer under warranty.  It has developed an intermittent charging issue. Every few days it stops charging the battery. It will show the charging screen but the battery continues to drain. Eventually after it dies completely, if I leave it plugged in all night usually it will charge fully by morning. Then it will charge fine for a few days. I've tried charging it with multiple cables, chargers, through USB on my Mac and wall charger.  I've tried hard resetting it (holding both buttons down for 10+ seconds). I've restored the phone through iTunes. I've even changed the battery.  All to no avail.  The problem is getting worse and happening more frequently now. 
    Anyone have any experience (and success) in fixing this problem with a method other than all the common ones I've already tried?  One small complication is that I live in Indonesia and can't just head down to the Apple store for help.  

    looks like going to the apple store is the only option left coz it maybe an issue with the handset and they can check that for you

  • Iphone 3g not recognized by computer(s). Windows 7. Charges when plugged into wall, but not PC's. Also not listen in Device Manager. I have hard reset/soft. reinstalled itunes after clean wipe. went through services... help! Windows 7

    Hello all. My system is Windows 7 64bit. In the past my phone worked just fine, plug it into a usb slot, synced up, updated... but for months now it has not worked. Other Iphones will not work on this PC either with their corresponding cables. But my Iphone will also not work when plugged into other computers.. it will not show up at all.. no charge.. no itunes... no drivers show up in Device Manager. My phone works just fine when plugged into the wall with it's cable.. charges fine everything works.. but it will not charge when plugged into a computer.
    So far... I have uninstalled everything related to apple... ran ccleaner.. fixed registry errors. Reboot PC, reinstall all itunes and apple components (all latest software) and nothing.
    I have gonet o services and stopped and started apple mobile device. It is set to automatic.
    I have hard reset the phone and soft reset it.
    The cable obviously works. The Phone works when plugged into the wall.
    Other Iphones will not work on my pc, nor will my iphone work on theirs
    I have disabled windows firewall along with my Comodo Defense Plus and it's firewall. I have disabled my AV. I have scanned with ad aware plus, Avast, ran hijack this and fixed registry errors. Ran Ccleaner.
    My device manager does not have anything related to apple in it.. I have no idea why. My Device Manager has no portable devices detected at all and does not recognize anything related to the phone.
    Core 2 duo 6600
    2gigs of ram
    Windows 7 64 bit
    I have checked all the tech support stuff I can find. I am desperate. Apple will not help me on the phone without charging me 30$.

    Also.... my phone works and can do everything fine when not plugged in.. I just can't get my computer or others to recognize the darn thing when plugged in!

  • I recently when to England.  When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network.  I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets.  I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything.  Help!

    I recently when to England.  When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network.  I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets.  I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything.  I'm kind of stuck - this is both my personal and my work phone, so I'm really in a bother here.  Help!

    I had "do not disturb" on in England. I did take it off airplane mode periodically, but I never actually used the network.  I stuck to local wifi to do brousing and a bit of messaging.  It periodically told me I was on an English network, but I didn't actually use it.  And I had data roaming shut off all together. 
    when I try to restore, I get this message:
    Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.  If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support.
    When I try it through iTunes, I get a similar message. 
    and the network just keeps saying, "Searching..."

    trying to do a hard reset on my iphone 4s. never had a lock code on the device. I am using an iphone 5 and after update i add a security code.

  • I want to use my iPhone 3GS just as an ipod, not a phone. No sym card. New iOS5 won't allow. What do I do? Can I do a hard reset?

    I want to use my iPhone 3GS just as an ipod, not a phone. No sym card. New iOS5 won't allow. What do I do? Can I do a hard reset?

    Hey, as far as I know you need a sim card to activate after a restore
    It however does not have to be a fully working sim card, just not blocked or with a pass code, I repair/refurb. some iPhones and can only advise to try and get a free sim card from a provider supported on your phone and activate it with this,  or maybe someone can lend you theirs for 5 mins?
    To clarify, I have heard there are ways around this, but they sound dubious.

  • Iphone 4 has a black screen which will display the apple logo for approx 10 seconds, then goes blank for 10 seconds and so on.  I have tried a hard reset with power button and home button but no change.  Get no response when attempting to connect to itune

    iphone 4 has a black scrren which will display the apple logo and appears to be at start up but then blacks out for approx 10 seconds and then displays apple logo again.  Same action over and over.
    I have attempted hard reset but cannot complete.  Also attempted to connect with itunes and it does not recongize device.
    Device is frozen in this display loop.  Have an appointment with genius bar tomorrow but it's a 2.5 hour round trip so suggestion appreciated.

    Your device may need to be restored as new in iTunes (instead of restored from a back up as it seems that there is a software issue on your phone).
    If your phone is not able to connect in iTunes try forcing recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
    * power off your phone.
    * Hold the home button while connecting your phone to iTunes.  You should see the connect to iTunes window and your computer should give you the recover mode alert.
    *Restore your device as new. Being sure not to restore from a previous back up.
    You will then want to sync your information back to your device from Outlook, iCloud, Google or wherever your information is stored.

  • My iPhone 4G died and will not turn on with hard reset.

    My iPhone 4G died and will not turn back on. I got an e-mail and then took a phone call. After ending the call I went to text, but nothing. Screen was black with no warning. I plugged it up on a charger and nothing. I tried a soft rest and a hard reset and still nothing. I have it plugged up to my computer and without it coming on it will not recognize it on iTunes to do a restore. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Is this fixable or should I write it off and replace the phone? It is 1yr and 1 month old.
    Thanks,
    John

    It's been a day and no luck, so I guess I have to get a new battery?
