Apple iPad Is Coming to Verizon Wireless, Repair Service Available at Dr. Cell Phone

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Apple and Verizon Wireless announced this morning a partnership that would bring the iPad to Verizon Wireless Stores across the U.S. on October 28. While the collaboration won’t see Verizon compatible technology embedded in the iPad, it will bundle the iPad Wi-Fi with a Verizon MiFi 2200 Mobile Hotspot.

Verizon Wireless will offer three iPad Wi-Fi + MiFi bundles: the iPad Wi-Fi 16GB for $630, the iPad Wi-Fi 32GB for $730 and the iPad Wi-Fi 64GB for $830. Verizon will also introduce a special monthly access plan for iPad customers of up to 1GB of data for $20 a month. In contrast, AT&T offers up to 2GB of data for just $25 per month. Verizon iPad users will, however, have the option of purchasing the standard 5GB data plan for $60 per month.

The announcement comes as speculation behind a Verizon iPhone have reached unprecedented levels. Just days ago, “a person who is in direct contact with apple,” leaked information that a CDMA iPhone was in development and would hit shelves early next year. The rumors gained further credibility as it was picked up by both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Now Verizon customers can rest assured that the same quality repair service that Dr. Cell Phone has been offering for AT&T customers would be available to all the Verizon iPad owners as well. The most common problem with iPad, “The Cracked Screen Replacement Service” would be available right from October 28th for Verizon users with fast turn around time. Other repair services such as volume button, sleep button, home button, wi-fi and 3g connectivity solutions would be made available.

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

As many of our customers ask us the difference between Jailbreak and Unlock, here is the difference from wikipedia.

Jailbreaking is a process that allows iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users to run third-party unsigned code on their devices by unlocking the operating system and allowing the user root access. Once jailbroken, iPhone users are able to download many extensions and themes previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as Cydia. A jailbroken iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch is still able to use the App Store and iTunes.

Jailbreaking is different from SIM unlocking, which, once completed, means that the mobile phone will accept any SIM without restriction on, for example, the country or network operator of origin. Jailbreaking, according to Apple, can void Apple’s warranty on the device,[1] although this is quickly remedied by restoring the device in iTunes.

We have a quick announcement for all the iPhone 3GS users out there. Now iPhone 3GS jailbreak & unlock service is available for all versions of iPhone OS including iOS 4.0.

iPhone 4 reception problems? Compare Solutions from Dr. Cell Phone and Apple

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Having iPhone 4 reception problems? Try adjusting your grip. That’s the advice from Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who yesterday responded to press queries about a possible antenna issue with a typically terse rejoinder: “Just avoid holding it in that way.”

Meanwhile, Apple PR issued a longer statement about the iPhone 4, reminding bloggers and journalists that all cell phones are vulnerable to antenna issues and urging consumers to consider purchasing a plastic case for their Apple handset.

“Gripping any phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone,” Apple said in its statement. “If you ever experience this on your Phone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases.”

As we reported yesterday, Apple was slammed with complaints yesterday about a range of issues with the new iPhone 4, including a yellow blotch – possibly glue residue – which appears under the screen glass of some iPhone 4s. But the most buzzed-about iPhone 4 problem was fuzzy reception. Many reported that if they gripped the iPhone 4 on the bottom left corner – or with their left hand – the reception quickly tailed off.

“I have [an iPhone] 3G phone and an iPhone 4 sitting side by side and the 3G will have full service and the iPhone 4 either says searching, no service, or has 1 or 2 bars,” one of our readers, “Ziggy,” wrote yesterday.

“Jose” wrote to us that he “bought my iPhone 4 yesterday in France, and I got both problems, the reception drops to nothing when holding the phone, and the yellow blob across the screen.”

While most of our commenters had negative anecdotes, reader “Mikeyp” said that, “My service works lovely in [Virginia]. No problems with my reception (knock on wood).”

Still, reception issues seemed unlikely to sink the launch of the iPhone 4, which was off to a good start yesterday. USA Today reports that Apple outlets in dozens of cities around the country – including Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles – had sold out of the iPhone 4, as had BestBuy and RadioShack.

Though Apple would avoid one of the most important issues on iPhone 4, the reception problem by suggesting the users not to hold their iPhone 4 in a certain way. Dr. Cell Phone is committed to diagnosing the issues with the hardware and providing Repair Solutions, as they do with HTC and other models. If you think just holding the phone in a certain angle doesn’t solve the reception (signal) problem, you can bring it in to one of Dr. Cell Phone’s repair centers to have your iPhone diagnosed for possible Antenna problems.
