What can I do with my iphone 4s that is locked to sprint but hasnt been activated?
Can I sell it? Upgrade? Or am I stuck with a phone that doesnt work?
Ideally I would just like to get it to work, it hasnt been activated yet, so surely someone can do something?
Thanks
Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it.
I don't know where or from whom you bought it, but you either didn't ask the proper questions or you were lied to or otherwise misled.
The phone is useless to you. Sell it to someone in the US and purchase a phone you can use in Ireland. Locked phones are not unique to the smartphone world. It's been happening since the dawn of cell phones. In the US, it was not even possible to purchase an unlocked phone of any kind until a few short years ago.

After the last update is no longer contact to the internet or to whatsapp? What can I do with my iphone 5?
No internet access when connected to an available wi-fi network and the same when connected to your carrier's cellular network, or when connected to your carrier's cellular network only?
Any error message provided? -
What can be wrong with my iPhone 4s. There is no sound from incoming calls and SMS even when I try to play music.
I already checked that it is not muted, volume is high and not in " vibrate mode."What can be wrong with my iPhone 4s. There is no sound from incoming calls and SMS even when I try to play music.

if i cant contact the previous owner what cand i do with my iphone 4 locked icloud?
Welcome to the Apple community Axel.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone. -

Trying to update iPhone 4S from iOS 7 to iOS 8. All PC software up to date, and 2 phones and 1 iPad already updated successfully.
Old software was extracted, but upon completion of updating to iOS 8, error message (6) and "this phone could not be updated"
After several attempts, was offered message to "update" or "restore". Update obviously did not work, so tried restoring.
This also failed. Now the phone is "dead" shows no name on the PC, and bears an iTunes icon with a plug connection icon - suggesting
I should plug it in to a USB port, when it is already plugged in. There is no acknowledgement between the PC and the connected iPhone!Hello 14hockey,
You came from the right article with dealing with the restore error code that you were getting. But now that your iPhone is not showing up, take a look at the article below to walk you through the troubleshooting options to get your iPhone to show up on your computer again.

Can I unlock a iphone 4 that is locked for sprint use only so I can use another carrier
Can a iphone 4 be unlocked when it is locked to be used with sprint only so I can use it with another carrier ?
Only Sprint can answer that question for you specifically.
But Meg's answer is pretty much spot on. -

my iphone 5 suddenly has a white blank screen, no liquid contact or history of fall, what can i do with this problem?
Hey there Galileo,
It sounds like your iPhone screen is solid white and you cannot do anything with it. Take a look at these steps from the following article about that kind of issue:
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
Reset your device while it's plugged in.
If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,

After upgrade to ios5.1, stuffs in my outlook calender can't syn with my iphone. what can i do to fix the problem please?
Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. A Restore is more thorough than the Update. If still problem after the Restore on computer, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple Store for resolution. iPhone 5S is covered by Warranty.

When I phone with my iphone 4 they don't hear me but I can hear them. What to do about that?
When I phone with my iphone 4 they don't hear me but I can hear them. What to do about that?
Try disconnecting the headphones and then adjusting the volume, does it say headphones?
If it does, there might be something in the headphone jack, maybe lint, dirt, or something else in there.
You can try getting it out by connecting the headphones 5-10x or spraying compressed air into the jack.
If it doesn't say headphones or there isn't anything in there, try restarting or restoring the iPhone. -

what can i do about my iphone that has a blue tint to the screen when i have sunglasses on?
That sounds like an issue with the sunglasses and possible polarization...there is nothing that you can do to offset that on the iPhone itself.

If you got the phone from Softbank in Japan the phone will work in Singapore but only roaming with Softbanks sim. They do not unlock iphones bought from them.
