You might have heard a variation of this a million times, but I'm out of my wits. So here goes.
A week ago, I dropped my phone4 in the kitchen from the kitchen counter top (not that high right?) and though it didn't land on carpet, it landed face down on the floor.
It was off when I picked it up and I couldn't turn it back on! I panicked. Later, it could only turn on when its plugged in.
I did reset ie push the top button and the home button MANY times, and since then, it's acting whacked. On some days, it acts normal the whole day. On other days, it turns off randomly up to 20 times a day! I have to push the top button and the home button to get it on. It powers up for a second, and it turns off again. I can't use my phone basically unless its plugged in.
Here's the thing. Its no longer under warranty and I can't afford to get a new phone. Is there no hope? Is there anything I can do? I suspect its a battery problem, since it works fine when its plugged in. But the thing that puzzles me is the phone doesn't look damaged. I did not crack anything, I've seen photos of dropped iphones online that look like they were steamrolled or run over by a truck the glass's completely shattered and those phones work fine!!!
How could mine have zero cosmetic symptoms but is totally whacked?
I'm at my wit's ends. I use my phone a lot. This is causing me much distress.
If there was a teary face, I'd use it.
I only started using this phone early last year (so its only used for a year), and the iphone 4 before this I used only a year as well was robbed from me when I went to China for a vacation (don't go there). I feel very very very very upset.
