Hey guys,
I've been on hold with Apple technical support for over 20 minutes. I have no idea what's going on with the new iPhone I got today- I had absolutely no problem with activation today at the Apple store and was even able to make calls from the device on the way home.
It's been a long day, so I decided to take a much needed nap after I got home. I was looking forward to making my new iPhone my night project- loading it with apps, etc. Well, I woke up about an hour ago and the phone was non-responsive. My first thoughts were that it was dead, as it's a new phone and it may not be fully charged. I plugged it to my computer and nothing. I then plugged it into the wall via the wall charger and again nothing.
At this point I was really perplexed and I called my dad from my roommate's phone- I told him to try calling my phone to see what he would hear (to see if it would go straight to voicemail or if it would ring). He called me back a few minutes later and told me that the phone rang and went to voicemail like normal. It's obvious that something is wrong because my screen is black and it's not responding even when I try to sync it with my macbook. I'm at a total loss for words. Best Buy messed up my pre-order, so I braved the lines at the Apple store for hours upon hours, even getting drenched in the rain in the process and I'm disgusted that this is the end result.
I'm currently still on hold with Apple iPhone technical support. We tried the DFU mode trick and it didn't work, so I've been on hold all this time. If anyone has any advice, suggestions, anything, please post here or send me a PM. I'm worried that they won't have the new iPhone 4 (32 GB) in stock if I go to the Genius bar tomorrow to try to get this issue resolved if it indeed needs to be replaced.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
