What are the chances of this thing actually working?

Hey there, over the next few sentences you'll probably be thinking I'm a hobo or something but whatever. I found an iPhone on the footpath today and it was kinda wet from inside. When I got it home and took it apart to see how much water was inside, there wasn't that much, a bit damp though. My dad dried it off with a blow dryer (Yeah I know, he isn't great with electronics) and cracked the screen right between the middle trying to open it up. I chargered it a little and I could faintly see the Apple logo. The screen went black shortly after and I couldn't do anything. Sometimes I can see something that looks like a USB plug but it was hard to tell. Any of the computers with iTunes in my house don't recognize the phone. The screen might turn into the Matrix's code (you know, all the green numbers lined up?) if you looked at it from real far and had sunglasses on.
I think it's an Iphone 3G, so what are the chances of this thing actually working? Is it completely busted, would it be worth taking it to get repaired, selling it for spare parts or just throwing the thing away?

It doesn't belong to you. Turn it in to the police.

  • What are the chances of an N95 Classic Firmware Up...

    Guys,
    Do you think Nokia will continue to support the N95 now that the 8gb version is out? I'm stuck with the phone based on contract and I'm hoping that at least we'll get a hot new firmware.
    What are the chances that they'll release a significantly updated firmware that possibly will free more memory or add that dynamic memory handling of the new software so this thing can be a reliable Ngage gaming device?

    one can be optimistic, and one can be realistic. One can observe the history of Nokia support and draw a conclusion and that would not be an optimistic conclusion. There are plenty of people who have contracts for phones that got a single upgrade if they were lucky. N95 has already had more than that (3?) with the last one dated 5 months ago. The cell phones that get updated are usually not 6 months between updates so every day that passes is like a nail in the coffin. So Nokia has moved on to N95 8GB. Contract has nothing to do with getting Nokia to upgrade firmware however badly it may be needed, contract is about making money for the phone company. The N95 8GB can just as well be called an N95 "i" version, they just didn't name it that. that means N95 "Classic" very likely "left in the dust" as a previous post articulately stated. When I say the I think the chance is zero, it is based on Nokia support history which is woeful

  • What are the chances on installing Windows 8 pro on mac?

    Hi guys, i just wanna know if what are the chances on installing a windows 8 pro on mac?
    I just bought a CD of windows 8 pro. Im planning to use it on my mac because i am currently studying a software which is applicable on windows such as Visual Studio 2008, 2010 or 2012.
    I am planning to use bootcamp for windows 8 pro, i dont like to use parallels or vm.
    and i heard about bootcamp doesnt support windows 8, is that true?
    If it is true, so does it means it is not possible to use windows 8 using bootcamp?
    Am i right that bootcamp offers the drivers or something?
    Or can i just update the drivers for windows manually, u know the thing which u can found it on control panel on windows.

    Running Windows 8 on my iMac right now buddy. You don't actually need Bootcamp to do all the heavy work for you - it's just a parition tool. However, you will need Bootcamp tools once Windows is installed to get the most out of windows. Without the Bootcamp tools installed, Windows will run - your mouse and keyboard should also work, but the resolution, graphics, speed.etc will all be a little over the place. I used Bootcamp tools 3.0 as it came with my iMac, not sure if the latest 4.0 works...
    Boot Camp 5.1 is the latest version, but no version includes drivers for Windows 8.

  • My MacBook Pro can't turn on again and apple said that the hard drive was broken. What are the chances of apple recovering my files on target disk?

    Okay basically my MacBook Pro won't turn on. It has a spinning loading sign and a bar that won't complete at the bottom. Rang apple said take it into the apple shop and they will try target disk. What is that exactly and what are the chances my photos and files can be recovered. I would go to the shop but I'm on vacation. Help would be appreciated thanks.

  • What is the deal with this thing?

    My computer no longer recognizes my ipod mini, won't charge it, or anything. It isn't responding to anything. I have tried resetting it so many times. All it does is show the "Do not disconnect." screen, and the backlight turns on when I press a button on the click wheel. My computer does not acknowledge that the ipod is connected to it at all, so I just diconnected it. However, the screen still says the same thing! I cannot find anyway to get some help off the Apple site. There are e-mail addresses or anything, which is completely annoying. My ipod mini is 13 months old and cost way too much money for this to be happening. Is it lost for good? What is the deal with this thing? Seriously, please help.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • What are the chances of me recovering my stolen iphone 4s?

    My iphone 4S was stolen tonight in San Francisco.  I have a UK phone number and UK SIM card.  My iphone is unlocked.  What are the chances of me recovering my phone?  I've reported it to the police and I've access the find phone app to notify me when found (using my mom's cell phone and my email).

    Unfortunately, your chances of recovery are poor, at best. Most thieves know to turn an iPhone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it. This defeats Find My Phone, making recovery almost impossible. Unless the police catch the thief, & match the IMEI number, doubtful you'll ever see the phone again.

  • My ipad mini was stolen and i have activated the find my phone to lock it. how can i get the serial number off my itunes or icloud profile? and what are the chances that the find my iphone app works when someome erases the device?

    my ipad mini has been stolen and i have activated the find my iphone to lock. now it is only a wifi device so what are the chances that a person can get hold of it and log onto wifi without the password of my device to unlock. does that not make the app rather less useful as i have to hope that the person is apt enough to log onto the internet but not enough to erase it and start afresh. is it possible to find my device even afte someone has erased it?

    "Losing your iPhone feels lousy. Thankfully, iCloud can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new Find My iPhone features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it."

  • What are the web host options that will work with iWeb?

    What are the web host options that will work with iWeb?

    Most website hosting services will work with iWeb created sites so long as you choose a Linux account.
    If you are new to FTP, you should choose a host who has good 24/7 tech support in your language of choice.
    A couple of examples are shown here...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
    The first one allows a trial period and a 30 day money back deal. The second has a free version which you can subsequently upgrade to a paid one with more facilities once you are satisfied with its performance. This means you don't have to commit or pay until you are satisfied and have learned the techniques.
    iWeb gives you two options for publishing via FTP...

  • What are the chances that an actual timestamp will be added to the Canon XF200 ?

    I shoot depositions for a living and a timestamp is required sometimes. I upgraded to the XF200 from the XHA1s. the XHA1s had a timestamp so i assumed the XF200 would as well. I saw inthe manual that the time and date could be displayed so I bought the camera. you have to manually turn off all displays except the date and time. This works as long as you dont have to change your aperture, wb, or other settings.  When you change any of these the display pops up and is also recorded.  I'm just wondering why Canon would get rid of the timestamp.  I asked if they could add it using a firmware update but all they said was that enough people need to ask for it. What is enough?

    "What are the odds that my hard drive will be salvageable?"
    Very very good, it's all sealed and only a large electrical surge or dropping it while running could do some damage.
    Take it and use a SATA to USB adapter you can get online for $12-$40 and hook it right up to the new Mac and use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to transfer files.
    OR you can access the drive directly and on a PC with MacDrive installed.
    However the Mac itself is likley a goner.

  • What are the rules for keeping things running smoothly

    As my iMac is now a month old and has been burdened with a number of trials, shareware demo, open source, video tutorials and general clutter; what are the basic rules for keeping things running smoothly? My 'log in' is certainly a lot slower although I don't have any apps loading and finder has become much slower with less spring in it's tail. Are there any caches etc that need dealing with? I'm afraid to say I was a bit of a pro at hammering my windows setups till they came to a stand still and I can't bare to see the Mac going the same way. Have I got to be ruthless and limit the number of apps I have installed? The quality of what is available just on apple.com makes it hard for a software addict to stop downloading Any help or just a reality check would be much appreciated....rob

    A good disk utility to empty caches: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
    Use Onyx once a week, run the Maintenance and Cleaning scripts and that will help speed your Mac up pronto.
    Run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) once a week and Repair Disk Permissions:
    Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
    *Tip... very important: Run Disk Utility BEFORE and AFTER all software updates. That will save you headaches down the road.
    You do not need to limit the number of apps installed but one thing to bear in mind. A Mac needs a minimum of 10% available disk space just to boot and it's all too easy fill up a drive and before you know it, you can't open apps, or they open and freeze up, or you can't install software. A good way to keep an eye on available space: Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the black arrow next to: General so it faces down. You will see: Capacity and Available ... Best best is to always have 15% free drive space.
    Back up your important data every day. If you have a system failure and need to either do an Archive and Install or completely wipe the drive and reinstall your system software, you'll be glad you did.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software.

  • What are the Technologies behind this mobile application ?

    What are the technologies involved in developing this mobile application?
    https://store.sap.com/sap/cpa/ui/resources/store/html/SolutionDetails.html?pid=0000004878&catID=MOB&pcntry=US&sap-langua…
    Is this Native/ Hybrid?
    based on MBO/Odata
    The graph is based on MAKIT / BI Mobile ?
    Looking at technical requirements it can be understood that the application is based on SUP , but how
    any other technologies involved which should be consider to develop a similar application?
    Note: The intention to know this is the curiosity to analyse mobile technologies only .

    Its difficult to guess the technologies have been used in developing this kind of apps.
    I guess this could be MBO based native app with MaKit. But at the same time i will suggest you to contact solution providers.

    If zsyy_ocecs.cm_subs_subscriber table returns one row for each servnumber, both statements would return the same data. But if there was a servnumber value on two rows, the first statement will throw an error (you a comparing a value with a set of values). You can rewrite the first query to avoid this:
    select * from counter where eboxid in (select acctid from zsyy_ocecs.cm_subs_subscriber where servnumber = ?);
    Conceptually they are different and the execution plan can't be the same.

  • What are the chances of more MMA content ?

    With Cage Warriors events being available on demand the day after . I was wondering what the chances of having more MMA events were .
    Good to see BT Vision supporting a fast rising sport .

    Hi Romero197911
    I got an answer from the Vision Content team, and I quote.]
    "For MMA, via an Essential Subscription subscribers can see Cage Warriors as part of their subscription pack. It’s also available as pay per view (£1.20).
    With an ESPN subscription, available free with the Unlimited Package, the options are far greater. ESPN show Live UFC events  and weekly UFC updates and also its own MMA Live programme on the ESPN channel 34. All of which are also available to ESPN subscribers On Demand in ESPN Player in the Sport and Catch Up section.
    ESPN are always looking to enhance their schedules and we regularly pass on information about which type of programming is popular with BT Vision Customers. Any feedback is most welcome and I’ll make sure ESPN knows of the interest in MMA."
    Hope this helps answer your question.

  • If you jailbreak your device what are the chances of bricking your idevice

    I just need to know what the chances are

    @steve359
         Yes. Apple will not support you in anyway if you encounter a problem with the device. Like IIIaass said, it voids the warranty, violates the licence agreement. Also, you could encounter a "re-spring loop" where your deivce continues to restart the SpringBoard. Also, your device will be slower and will not last as long as a device running iOS, and the reason for this is when Apple made the OS, it did not push it to what the device can handle, but when jail broken, you push it to the limit. Also, the battery will drain way faster and you will find yourself at the outlet more often. Also, to answer your question about bricking, it isn't likely unless your running iOS 5.1. There is no untethered jailbreak for it, therefore you have to use a computer everytime you turn the device totally off. When on a tethered jailbreak, if the exploit fails (which it does if you don't enter DFU mode correctly), you have to restore the device using iTunes, and sometimes iTunes cannot restore. So, I strongly suggest you DO NOT jailbreak. Apple has these restriction for a reason. Oh, I will also add that when your iOS device is jail broken, hackers can remotley log in, and control your device. Also, your installing third-party software that hasn't been vetted by Apple, so you don't know if your downloading malicious software that can crash your iPod and worse. So I really, really don't think you should do it, because if somethings goes wrong, don't come here, or to Apple.
