Recycle, Sell Iphone, Working Or Not

Just a few days ago, my iphone broke. In my clumsiness, I dropped it and cracked the screen. Trying my best to be economical, I did some research on how to fix an iphone. After a few minutes of searching the web, I realized that, it was going to cost upwards of 0 dollars to fix the iphone, including the cost of parts and labor; it did not seem either time or cost-effective to fix my iphone. I was feeling pretty despaired and ready to toss my iphone into the trash when I stumbled upon a site which talked about the ways to sell an iphone. The website, sellaniphone.com, led me through the process to sell an iphone and gave me some helpful tips along the way.


Http://sellaniphone.com was a great resource, which showed me the easiest possible way to sell an iphone and recycle its parts, even if the iphone is broken. Upon researching the site a bit, I concluded that it was quite a novel idea to sell an iphone to this company so that they could recycle it and help prevent E-waste, an increasing and dangerous dilemma resultant of the information age. After reading a bit about the site, I was directed to another site, http://www.cashforiphones.com, where I got a free instant quote. It was completely simple. I entered the model and some information about its current condition was quoted an offer to sell an iphone. To my surprise and delight, the company offered to buy it from me for 5. I agreed to that set price and filled out a quick name/address form so that Cashforiphones could send me a pre-paid, insured envelope. I was amazed at how simple the process was. A few minutes previous, I was contemplating throwing the iphone away because I did not realize that the broken iphone had any value. I definitely felt good about the choice to sell an iphone, both for the good of the planet and the good of my budget. A few days later, I received the insured package, put my broken iphone inside it and stuck the enclosed shipping label on the package. Within a week, they had received the iphone and sent a check to me. It was, what my son calls, ‘easy-peazy.’


Thus, when you need to sell an iphone, my advice is that you avoid Craigslist and Ebay, because of the time it takes to list and actually sell an iphone. On both sites, you are not guaranteed to get the price you want. At Ebay, you are at the mercy of unknown bidders, or worse, little or no bidders, which will not ensure you a competitive selling price. If you sell an iphone on Craigslist, a buyer might try to bargain with your set price and, since there are oftentimes not enough buyers interested in your product, you will be assuaged to take the lower price. Both websites ensure a lengthier and oftentimes, less rewarding, process to sell an iphone. In addition, sellaniphone.com will tell you how to sell an iphone in any condition. If you sell an iphone on competitors’ sites, you must take the phone apart and sell the parts, which is tedious and time-consuming. Finally, and perhaps most significant, sellaniphone.com will show you how to get a guarantee that your iphone will be erased when it is sold so that you can completely protect your privacy. Neither Ebay or Craigslist will promise you this. If you need to sell an iphone, the best place to learn about how is www.sellaniphone.com.

LogMeIn Ignition has just been updated for iPhone and iPad specifically with iOS 4 support.

Normally, this would not necessarily be too exciting, except I just got done testing this release. I am very excited to report that I was able to log in to my remote desktop, then check mail and other apps. Put the iPhone to sleep, come back minutes later and open LogMeIn Ignition and… my desktop was still there!

They’re no doubt using iOS 4 multitasking’s task completion feature (the same one that lets uploads finish in the background). It won’t let you keep the connection open forever — more like 10 minutes — but it’s still fantastic and I can’t recommend this app enough. This is very exciting to see developers adopting iOS 4 so quickly and in a useful manor.

Oh, and here is a tip. If you keep LogMeIn “running” in the background for a while, and want to make sure you don’t get a timeout error when you return to the app, check the setting on the client machine. It needs to be more than iOS 4’s 10 minute task completion limit (the default on mine was 20 min.)

That’s straight from the Google Docs Blog.  It’s always good to see how much love and attention Google gives to its iPhone and iPad versions of its web apps.  Adding an editing capability or giving us a simple native app would also be a nice next step.

Iphone Parts Replacement – Tips & Advice

Unfortunately, with the pleasure of owning an iPhone comes the pain of sometimes needing repairs, spares and replacement parts for the iPhone. Although up until recently this has always come at an expense higher than we would like it to be there is now an option to find your iPhone replacement parts online along with any accessories you require and the tips, advice and guidelines to give you the knowledge to fit the replacement parts to your own iPhone. This is the case for any repair you need from a case replacement through to internal replacement parts such as the headphone jack, battery, or even a complete screen replacement.

Having the ability to do this has three main benefits – firstly, the time saving factor; fitting the replacement parts in your iPhone, in most cases, can be done in no more than a few hours of your spare time. This leads to the second benefit – when you purchase the iPhone replacement parts online and fit them yourself it means that you are aware of the iPhones location at all times, this means you can be confident that your personal information stored on the iPhone remains personal. And the third main benefit of buying the replacement parts online from an official iPhone store brings with it a cost saving – not only on the replacement parts themselves, but with you gaining the knowledge and receiving advice to carry out the repair at home you save a vast amount on the iPhone repair also.

With so much to be gained from fitting your iPhone´s replacement parts at home, and so little to lose it seems a very realistic option for all of us – regardless of your technology experience, the knowledge you need can be read on the internet and some sites even offer step by step guides for the more complex repairs such as the iPhone screen replacement. This is possibly the most complex repair to be undertaken on an iPhone due to the need for dismantling virtually the whole phone in order to fit the replacement part in the iPhone – with this said it is not an impossible task for anyone providing you give yourself sufficient time and knowledge to complete the repair.

More simple parts to be replaced on the iPhone can range from a simple case replacement, a battery replacement, or even fixing, or replacing some iPhone accessories such as the headphones or the headphone jack. The list is quite comprehensive, but regardless of your personal requirement the option is provided to you to save time and money and maintain the security of your information no matter what iPhone replacement parts you need.

This information is bought to you by iPhone Parts Pro – The online iPhone store stocking a wide range of iPhone spares, parts and official iPhone replacement parts, and providing knowledge and advice to enable you to carry out your own repairs and receive the above benefits in the process.

Motorola’s full page New York Times ad takes a swift jab into the tenderest regions of iPhone 4 antenna issues.

most importantly, it comes with a double antenna design. The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like and use it just about anywhere to make crystal clear calls. You have a voice. And you deserve to be heard.

In our minds (and tweets) it played out like the original Karate Kid, with Droid X getting it’s iPhone 4-bloodied nose seen to by the Moto Kai sensei who mercilessly whispers “sweep the leg” “go for the antenna”.

Whether or not iPhone-san can pull out an iOS 4.0.1 crane-kick of a software fix and get its victory-from-the-jaws-of-defeat Hollywood ending remains to be seen…

“Send in a bumper case, yeaaaaaaah!”

iPhone 4 antenna issues clarified

Anandtech has done some testing to try and find out what’s happening with iPhone 4 signal attenuation and related antenna reception problems, and come to two equal yet opposing conclusions:

Holding the iPhone 4 without a case, in your left hand, crossing the black strip can result in a worst case drop of 24 dBm in signal. [...] The fact of the matter is that either the most sensitive region of the antenna should have an insulative coating, or everyone should use a case. For a company that uses style heavily as a selling point, the latter isn’t an option. And the former would require an unprecedented admission of fault on Apple’s part.

And here’s the flip-side:

iPhone 4 performs much better than the 3GS in situations where signal is very low, at -113 dBm (1 bar). Previously, dropping this low all but guaranteed that calls would drop, fail to be placed, and data would no longer be transacted at all. I can honestly say that I’ve never held onto so many calls and data simultaneously on 1 bar at -113 dBm as I have with the iPhone 4, so it’s readily apparent that the new baseband hardware is much more sensitive compared to what was in the 3GS. The difference is that reception is massively better on the iPhone 4 in actual use.

Dieter is struggling with a lot of this while traveling back from the Samsung Galaxy S event in New York yesterday, what with AT&T’s historic iPhone network problems and now this added uncertainty of how iPhone 4 is held has him speechless (in several ways).

We can put a case on it and hope for the best, or hope Apple will quickly push out an iOS 4.0.x update that alleviates it, but the layered and varied uncertainties surrounding what for many is their primary method of connecting and communicating is no doubt becoming untenable for some.
