My iPhone4 and watch stopped functioning at precisely the same time (Warranty Q's)

[orvn]

So get this:

My iPhone 4's alarm rings at 8.15 am.

I pull the "UGH 5 more minutes" card. I'm up at 8.30 or so, getting ready for my day when I glance at my iphone, which appears to be off. I try the power button, but the phone does not respond.

"That's odd" I think to myself "it was at 100% last night at 1am".
I place on charge with the wall adaptor and wait 30 minutes.
The iPhone does not respond.

Here's the strange part: my watch was actually about a foot away from my iPhone when this transpired. About 30 minutes later I discovered that my watch had stopped at 8.34.

It is 11 months or so old, but I'm also using a Gevey turbo SIM and have Jailbroken it.

Would it still be covered under warranty?
Should I eject the Gevey and put the regular tray back in when I bring it to the Apple Store?

Any clues to what's going on?

I have a background in geoscience and as far as I can tell I don't live in an area with a particularly sporadic geomagnetic field intensity.

Also, last I talked to Magneto, we were cool. He's a temperamental bitch though, so I'm not excluding him.

Anything else stop working?

Do you happen to sleep next to a klystron?

 

[orvn]

F---k, I wish I had a klystron. It would sure make for a swell time.
I'll bet I could pop an entire corn field.

But about the warranty, am I still covered despite jailbreaking and the Gevey?

 

[Carlanga]

you can try:
hard reset (hold both wake and home button until apple logo loads)
or
put it in DFU mode and restore it.

Sounds like a localized EMP. Are any of your siblings or neighbors playing with microwave generators?

JBing automatically voids the warrenty.

JBing automatically voids the warrenty.

If they can't turn it on, how will they know he jailbroke it, it they can turn it on, they fixed the problem and it becomes a non-issue.

Unless you restore. Apple has no way of knowing.

Right. Sounds like it's probably fried though. Put your previous carrier's SIM back in; they'll probably forcibly remove you if you have a Gevey in

I'd try this. There have been a few instances when I thought my phone died but this brought it back up.

A hard reset did it! Thank you and thanks everyone for the multitude of responses

How's the watch?

 

[mikelegacy]

iPhones have a weird tendancy to shut off and stay frozen in that state for some reason. A hard reset is a good thing to know how to do.

 

[orvn]

How's the watch?

The watch is still out of operation, but my iPhone is of much more value to me. I'm glad it works now.

Strange phenomenon.

I walked in front of a C17 that had its radar on and fried every credit card in my wallet as well as my old blackberry... Electrowaves are fun aren't they!
