I Accidentally left my iPhone 4s in a light rain while I was swimming. I got home from the pool and turned my phone on, my battery was low but everything seemed fine. I then attempted to use my speakers and no sound came out. I tried to turn up my volume but it said headphones were plugged in even though the jack was clear. I also noticed a dim light coming from the flash and water droplets inside the camera lens. I resolved to the old "phone-in-rice" trick to try and dry it out. When I came back to my phone about 6 house later it seemed fine aside for low battery. I went to plug it in and as soon as the charger connected to my iPhone the screen went black. It now will not turn on or restart. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
For the old "Phone in rice trick" to work, it should sit for many days not hours. By applying electrical current to a wet electronic system, you have fried some of the components. It is not repairable, You will need a replacement iphone. Sorry

  • Why does my iPhone 5 lose signal when trying to make a call or use cellular data?

    Hello,
    I've had this problem for a few weeks now and it's becoming really annoying. Every time I try to make a call, or call voicemail, it takes me 10 or so attempts to connect. When it doesn't connect I get 'searching' in the top left hand corner whilst my phone try's to find signal again. I have the same problem when using 3G - it'll be fine for a while and then I lose my signal all together. This happens in places where I have enjoyed full signal strength in the past. I have dropped my phone or done anything to it to cause this. I've checked with my network provider, Giffgaff but it seems to be more of a phone problem rather than network.
    Has anyone had anything similar? If so how did you fix it? I'm thinking I need to take it into my local store to get it looked it.

  • Why does my iPhone 3GS drop service?

    My iPhone 3GS just randomly says no service is there anyway me or apple can fix this?

    Heck, my i5 does that from time to time!
    If you don't want to go thru the whole reboot or turn off/turn on brouhaha, I've had some success putting it in Airplane Mode and back out. When you turn AM off it will attempt to resync with the carrier and that usually clears up the lack of connection.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 lose 3G signal when plugged into the TV with the AV Adapter?

    When I plug in my iPhone 4 (Verizon) or my husband's iPhone 4 (AT&T) to watch Netflix, Netflix stalls and the 3G signal disappears. I have tried connecting the adapter both before and after entering the application. I believe the digital AV adapter and HDMI cable are fine, because I have no problem seeing output from my iPad 2. 
    When I plug in the adapter, the 3G signal will disappear shortly thereafter.  The red Netflix screen will appear on the TV, but 9 times out of 10 it will go no further.  One time it stayed on the red screen, but I heard the audio from the movie.  Another time it showed the movie for 10 seconds, then stopped.  When I unplug my iPhone, it will take a while to regain the 3G signal.

    I had the same issue in my 2012 Nissan Altima.  It was a function in my car's stero settings.  I had to go to the car's iPhone/iPod settings when the iPhone was plugged into the USB.  My settings come up automatically when I plug in and I can scroll through the commands to "Shuffle" songs.  Hope this helps.

  • Why does my iphone 5 have no service

    why does my iphone 5 have no serivce?
    im with orange/tmobile which is EE but i have had no service all this morning. just wondering if someone could help

    You may need to contact your carrier. I recently upgraded and the new phone activated automatically and the old one deactivated very soon after I turned on the new phone. May be different with different carriers.

  • Why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?

    why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?
    Everytime I go to update my apps some other persons email or AppleID comes up and I have to cancel.  its annoying enough to have to update all the time but now I have about100 update notifications (don't judge, you probably have a ton of apps too..haha) that are sitting idol, what's up how do I fix?
    thx

    p.s. not updating to iOS6 yet

    I'm sorry Allan, I should have clarified, your answer is improbable (well the first part atleast).
    The apps I have had since the first week of purchase of my iphone back in 2011,  I have not added any apps until 2 months before the last software update.  This starting happening when the new software was implemented but I have not updated to iOS6 yet.  Unless this person was able to hack into my account & transfer them to their account, I do not see how that is possible.
    Prior to seeing this other AppleID, I have a popup to prompt me for my AppleID each time I download content.  Each time I would see mine and enter my password.

  • HT1414 why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

    why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

    Hi Cyprus11,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is shutting down unexpectedly, I recommend going through these troubleshooting steps:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • Why does my iphone  4 have a 3g indicator

    why does my iphone 4 have a 3g indicator icon and how to I get 4g service on it?

    The only iPhone that will display a "4G" indicator is the AT&T iPhone 4S when connected to AT&T's HSPA+ network. The iPhone 4 is not a 4G phone.
    Also, the AT&T iPhone 4S will say 4G even if it is a 3G area.
    Mine will only indicate E (2G) or 4G.  It never ever shows
    3G, even when in known 3G location.

  • TS4036 why does my iphone say it cant restore when 98 per done

    why does my iphone say it cant restore when 98 per done

    There's no way a 16GB model phone has more than than capacity.  I have no idea what you mean by AutoRun icon.  Is that an app you downloaded?  Did you jailbreak?
    The "advertised" capacity of all storage devices is based on a decimal definition of "Gigabytes" where 1 GB is defined as 1,000,000,000 bytes.  However computers see and calculate storage based on binary definitions where 1 GB = 1,073 742,824 bytes.  Thus a 16 GB "decimal" device is only 14.9 real, binary gigabytes.
    Also, there are additional loses due to formatting overhead and the iOS.  RAM memory is separate and not used from the supplied flash disk.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to press end the call

    why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call

    hi smalley3,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
    If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
    In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

  • Why does my iPhone 5 give random chimes?  I have all notifications, etc., turned off.  Seems to be on reason for this.

    Why does my iPhone 5 give random chimes?  I have all notifications, location services, etc., turned off. 

    I had the exact same problem with my iPhone 4. I would select the song I was wanting to play and it would load for a second, then simply shuffle to the next. It did this with almost my entire iPod. So, I synced it with my computer and it's copy of my music, and presto, my music played perfectly. So, I would reccomend trying that. Hope this helped!!

  • Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.
    Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
    If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
    iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.
