Angry Girlfriend + iPhone in sight =

[unnecessary]

The Wall.


No physical damage. Phone just says no service. When it does get some reception its only about 1 Bar. Apple said it was water damage(not telling them someone threw it to the wall). Figures they would say water damage.

Restored phone to factory settings and problem still exists. I guess there is no fix for this.

Has it been in water?

There is a simple way to check.. look down the Headphone insert- possibly with a torch. If it's pink it's been in water!


If it's white then your game to go back and smack the AT&T staff all over the shop :)

That sucks! Turn that sensor pink if it isn't already, at least it will only be $200 to replace a water damaged phone.
If I was still with my ex, my iPhone would have been toast long ago. Whenever we got in a fight, he would grab one of my various remote controls that was in sight, one hand on each end, and slowly break it in half because he knew it was a PITA to replace the stock remotes and I wouldn't settle for the aftermarkets because they lacked functions.

Sounds like a real douche.

A torch?!!:foot:

You brits sure have a way with words.:tounge:

but I'm sure you probably think we have really bad grammar & weird slang across the pond.

[ZR_Yancy]

Won't they replace the iPhone free of charge as long as their is no visible damage & no water damage?

My bad-

'flashlight' (-how gay does that sound lol)


Seriously though, they must have said water damage for a reason... :tounge:

Yeah, you're right, he should be able to get a free replacement.

[styfle]

A torch? Just use a flashlight :P

If my g/f chucked my iphone she would be gone. I don't know how that helps you but this a public forum and I assume someone might read my opinion and agree/disagree. Then quote me and say they condone or post a rebuttal.

My mrs goes on all the time that i never put my phone down and i mean really goes on. My argument is that my phone never answers back when i tell it off and it never cheats or f*cks your best mate.. so as far as i'm concerned i'm not going to put it down...


But that's just me

[ZR_Yancy]

f*cks your best mate..


So would you say she would be mating your mate?:wink:

[iphonewarrior]

So would you say she would be mating your mate?:wink:

Dunno.


You can never be too careful these days

[termleech]

Wow, it seems like you guys have all found the worst possible women in the world... my fiance wouldn't even dream of breaking anything of mine if she was mad, besides there are other things they can hold out on that's much more effective... at least broken things can be replaced

[unnecessary]

wtf, yea it is pink in the headphone jack. Well i would rather spend $200 than spend $399. =\

[aknightstale41]

You need the icontrol app for your gf...nice bonus is there's a mute button with it. :wink:

[Eragon]

Can't you restore your g/f back to factory settings? Sounds like she has a corrupt OS.

[iStealth]

Ouch buddy, time for a new girlfriend.

Seriously... such violence! I must have found the right chick. I also got her an iPhone of her own so she doesn't get jealous like that.

[scudder]

I cannot fix your partner, but I have a suggestion for the signal!
The aerial is on the lower part of the internals, stuck to the speaker/microphone housing. The way the signal gets to the motherboard is via a small brass nipple that is spring loaded and makes contact with a tiny plate on the underside of the board. I would hazard a guess that this could be the problem as it very much sounds like a physical problem due to the impact.
Youtube for a strip down method and just check that this spring loaded nipple is indeed doing it's thing. You can also check that no physical damage has been done to the aerial by taking out the speaker/mike housing (only three small screws holding it in). You have nothing to lose as the warranty is screwed anyway with the pink sensor.
What does 'torch' mean in USA?

[iPhoneMonster]

lol.... Flashlight does sound gay :) Torch sounds better but then again I was raised in HK and Australia so it's the British system.

[coop1701]

I have to say.. my wife got mad one night and threw mine against the wall. Put a nice dent in my old version 1 iPhone... but it still worked...

Gave me a excuse to go buy a 3G when they came out.

[JWiPhone]

What does 'torch' mean in USA?

'Torch' in the USA means a stick with a flame on the end of it like they carried in medieval times, or the flame used in welding. Also, as a verb it means to set fire to something.

and i thought we all spoke english :wink:

[danipoak]

get a drop of bleach down there in the headphone jack. it will turn it white again.

[lehuukha]

Are you serious? haha bleach?

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Are you serious? haha bleach?

Better than some other whitish substances that might get squirted in there..

I wonder if girls, wives reach for the iPhone in their moment of rage because they realize how valuable and dear the iPhone is to their man. They grab one of his most valuable possessions and lash out at it because they know it will provoke him the most, and inflict great emotional hurt.

I've wondered if that would work.

Have you actually tried it?

When push comes to shove, I'd rather she take out her anger on the iPhone rather than a particular sensitive body part, the iSchlong.

[Hondamaker]

BTW, 'iSchlong' is waaaayyy cheesy!

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Only if you don't keep it clean.

[Hondamaker]

[iphonewarrior]

Man, I walked right into that one, didn't I?

Napoloen that was a very good :)

If you do, I ain't shakin' yer hand...

I was just telling someone today I'd be more pissed if I got punched in my iphone than punch in my face. My husband and I have gotten in phone throwing battles (not with iphones) we've had to replace many phones through insurance of course

[Youngbinks]

I threw my old Motorola Razr into the wall after waiting on hold for 60 minutes with customer service only to have the line go dead as soon as the representative picked up. It shattered so I then had to ask my roommate to use his phone (he was apprehensive) to call my parents and tell them my phone somehow broke.

"Uh, Mom? Yeah...I like...opened up my phone and now it's in a million pieces......No, I didn't throw it or anything like that...I opened it and it just...broke...it's like the Twilight Zone, Mom...I dunno...Anyway, can you buy me a new one?"

[iphonewarrior]

Why would you even phone your parents in the first place lol.

I'd at least try my best to lie... make up some crazy story, about how you were chased by a pack of angry mutated chickens on viagra. That to me sounds more realistic :)

[aknightstale41]

What happens when you forget your Viagra...

Haha that's more or less how it went, really. I had it insured so it wasn't much of an issue fortunately. The replacement broke on its own however (for real this time) and AT&T tried to tell me it was my fault. Gotta love them sometimes.

I just had my iPhone replaced at the apple store today because I dropped it in a puddle and the speaker when sour and I put it in a bag of rice and it seemed to dry everything out pretty good I checked to make sure it didn't have the pink dot before I wasted my time and went into the apple store. Luckily I didn't have any water damage anyways long store short if your phone doesnt have any visible water damage you should be good just make an apt at your local iPhone store take it in and get it fixed.

Was it your girlfriend's iPhone you dropped in the puddle?

[jabreal00]

I would immediately leave any woman who breaks or damages my possession in a fit of anger. Plus I'll compel her to repay me, with court action if necessary. It is inexcusable and simply outrageous. Anyways enough with my sermon. Get it replaced as a water damaged phone. I cannot give you advise on your girlfriend.
