iPhone Battery Symbol and then stuck on Apple Logo

If your iPhone shows a battery symbol when you turn it on and then gets stuck at the apple logo there is nothing more frustrating than that. Because in that case your iPhone will not even be detected by iTunes for you to update it to the latest firmware.

This usually happens if your iPhone was left somewhere and the battery got discharged to a level that it had to turn itself off. That is why you see the battery symbol.

To solve this problem you need to follow these steps. These steps are DIFFERENT FROM DFU mode.

1) If your iPhone is connected to the computer disconnect it.

2) Hold the power and home button together and keep holding it. You will see the apple logo and then after some time the screen will go black again. This might take 20 seconds to 5 minutes but do not lose patience. When it comes back you will see the iTunes logo.

3) If you know how to jailbreak it go ahead, if you do not want to jailbreak just restore it and you will have the latest version of iPhone firmware.

I hope this will be helpful to some people. If your iPhone is rather stuck on iTunes logo try steps to recover from iTunes logo.

Get AT&T $30 iPhone unlimited Data Plan or Get Rid of one

After the newer versions of iPhone was launched people were hesitant to switch to it as AT&T no longer offered the unlimited data plan for $30 per month. All you could do was to go for $15 per month plan which lets you use 200MBs or the $25 Pro Data plan that lets you use 2GB of data per month.

If you already had $30 data plan then you are still good as you can continue with that. If not than you can still follow the instructions below and get $30 unlimited data plan (This method can also be used to get rid of data plan):

1) Find an ordinary phone or buy it off craigslist or e-bay for few bucks. Note down its IMEI number.

2) In the general settings of your iPhone see the ICCID which is the sim information.

3) Call AT&T and talk to a representative. (You might dial 611 and then press 1, 0, 0 to talk to a rep without listening through the recorded messages)

4) Ask the representative to change your data plan to $30 unlimited plan as you are no longer going to use your iPhone.

OR

4) Ask them to take the data plan off as you are moving to a non-smart phone.

5) If they say that you can not use your iPhone sim on any other phone tell them that you have a sim adapter that works on your non smart phone.

6) They should confirm the changes to you now and you don't have to do anything. You might receive some texts from AT&T but in a few hours you will be good with unlimited data plan for $30 a month or no data plan.

iPhone Stuck On Apple Logo or iTunes logo

Check out the Video below to see what I mean. Both iphoene and ipod are almost identical to iTunes. So what works for one works for other. Sometimes when jailbreaking an iPhone or after installing a jailbreak app, your iPhone will get stuck on reboot, or will hang on the Apple logo. This problem happened to me before and it was kind of a nightmare. In order to get your iPhone back on track, you will have to put it in DFU mode (Device Firmware Update mode). This will help you restore your iPhone without loading the OS first. Putting you iPhone into DFU mode should be used as a last resort if your iPhone is either stuck on the Apple logo or keeps rebooting.

1. Connect your iPhone to iTunes.

2. Hold the Home button and the Power button at the same time for 10 seconds.

3. After exactly 10 seconds, release the Power button but keep holding the Home button for 10 seconds or until iTunes pops up a message saying that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. At this point, click OK, then click “Restore” in iTunes.

Note that it often takes several attempts to get your iPhone in DFU mode.

iPhone can not connect to home wifi

Two days ago my iphone was working fine but today it has stopped connecting to my home wi-fi. I am entering the password perfectly but it says "can't connect to network nirvana". I do not have an internet connection or data plan with my carrier. Therefore, I am pretty much dependent on my home wifi for my iphone's net needs.

You get up in the morning and check your emails on your iphone. That is a good start of the day. But my days were no longer going to be good. It took me two days to figure out the solution.  Keep reading for the solution.

You have many options and all of them will succeed. First and unliked one is to connect your phone to iTunes and upgrade it to a new firmware. This will work but if your iPhone is jailbroken and you upgrade to 3.1.3 you can no more jailbreak it. So forget this option.


The other my recommended solution to this problem is to go to Iphone->Settings->General->Reset->Reset All settings. This should work for you. Sometimes resetting the network only settings work too. But if that doesn't work for you try resetting all settings. Once your iphone reboots you can connect to your home phone normally.

If even this doesn't work then you need to check if your iPhone is under warranty or not. If it is under warranty make an appointment with Genius Bar. They will replace your phone with a new iPhone.

How to unlock your Cellphone for Free

What are Unlocked Cellphones? and Why anybody would want to Unlock it?

An Unlocked Cellphone is one that can be used on all networks operating on the frequency the phone is designed for. For example, in the UK there are four main networks, Vodafone, BT Cellnet, Orange and One2One. Vodafone and BT Cellnet operate on GSM900, while Orange and One2One operate on GSM1800. A UK dual band phone can operate on GSM900 and GSM1800, therefore being capable of working on all the networks.

However, as the networks don’t want to lose you as a customer, when they supply the phone (on contract or pay as you go) it can be locked to only accept SIM cards from their network.

If you wish to use a SIM from a different network, the phone needs to be unlocked.

How do I know if my phone is locked or unlocked?

There are two ways to check if your phone is locked/unlocked. Firstly, if you have a working SIM from a different network, try putting that into the phone and switching it on. If the phone works and you can make calls on that network, congratulations, your phone is already unlocked. If a message appears, saying “SIM card not accepted” or similar, the phone is probably locked.
