Grundy Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Just to amuse you all a little really, I have a 4s, been going strong for 4 years! No marks etc, perfect condition. Anyway, out walking back from lunch, using headphones whilst on the phone to someone. - Battery dies. Get back to work and charge it, turn it on, go to make another phone call, this time I can't hear them, thought, oh must be there issue. Called someone else, same thing happened again. Okay good old IT trick, turn it off and on again. Still the same thing happened, I wasn't getting any sound out my speaker. When I adjusted the volume, I noticed it was still in 'Headphone' Mode - So made another call, this time on loudspeaker, could hear them fine. Plugged in headphones, could hear sound again etc. Took them out, still in stupid headphone mode. I then went into sound options, when I select a ring tone, works fine but still in sodding headphone mode, and there is no option to turn it off and on. So basically my phone is always thinking my headphones are plugged in. Chances are my Jailbreak has bugged it, but I can't be bothered to restore! Anyway, hopefully that will brighten up your wednesdays afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Threw my iphone5S in a swimming pool in Abu Dhabi after id had a few beers, badly twsted my ankle, and apparently I didnt want to have my phone in my hand when i went down, so i let go of it, in the direction of the pool. Lept in, and rescued it, still works fine, dried it out a couple of times, no issues. Apparently the funniest thing the guy i was with had ever seen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock_Steady Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I thought if you put your I-phone in a bag of rice, it would soak up the dampness from water damage and after 3 or 4 days, hey presto, a fully functioning I-phone once again.

If not, it attracts asians, and they'll fix it! (no, im not racist btw ) But thats just a myth, tried it and it didnt work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
