If your iPad won’t turn on, don’t panic. Normally, an iPad is in “suspend mode”, which means it is waiting for you to press the home button or the sleep/wake button to activate it. But it is possible for the iPad to be completely turned off, which is usually the case when you find that your iPad won’t turn on.
 iPad Repair at Dr. Cell Phone Here’s what to do:
- Hold both the home button and the wake/suspend button down at the same time. You should see the Apple logo appear on your screen after holding these buttons down a couple of seconds, which means your iPad is booting up and should be good to go in a few more seconds.
- If the iPad does not boot up after a few seconds, the battery may be completely drained. The iPad comes with both a 30-pin connector and an adapter that allows you to plug it into a wall outlet. Use this to charge the iPad rather than plugging it into your computer. After letting it charge for at least thirty minutes, try repeating step one. Your iPad should boot up fine. Find out what you can do to save battery life.
- If your iPad still won’t turn on, there may be a hardware failure. The easiest solution is to locate the nearest Dr. Cell Phone Repair Center. Dr. Cell Phone Techs can be very helpful in determining if there is a true hardware issue. If there is no store nearby, you can contact Dr. Cell Phone. to arrange youriPadto be mailed in to their headquarters.

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.
 Verizon iPad Repair Service available at Dr. Cell Phone Dallas, Frisco, Addison, Plano & Houston 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.

As many of our customers ask us the difference between Jailbreak and Unlock, here is the difference from wikipedia.
 iPhone Unlock and Jail Break at Dr. Cell Phone in Dallas, Frisco, Addison & Houston 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.

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.
 iPhone 4 Repairs & Diagnostics available at Dr. Cell Phone “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.

The Verizon iPhone Release Date rumors are spreading rapidly across the web. One Wall Street analyst estimates that Apple will launch a CDMA phone that will work on the Verizon Wireless network this year. Apple and AT&T originally signed a contract that would allow AT&T to be the only provider for the iPhone until 2012, so if Apple finds a way to cancel that or negotiate something with AT&T then we may see a Verizon iPhone.
 Verizon iPhone coming soon The iPhone 4G with iPhone 4.0 software is launching in June 2010. We know that it’s real, and most of the features of it have been leaked online. Apple will announce it during the World Wide Developers Conference. The most noticeable feature about the iPhone 4G is the front facing web camera for video chat and the metallic volume/mute buttons.
As always Dr. Cell Phone will be the very first company to provide you all the repair services ranging from Cracked Screen Repair, Broken LCD Repair to some of the intricate hardware failures.
If Verizon really does launch an iPhone on their network, Apple will get a HUGE amount of new iPhone users. The CEO of Verizon has already expressed interest in wanting to offer the iPhone, so it’s now up to Apple to decide whether or not they want to offer the new iPhone 4G on Verizon.

Apple’s iPad should be a repair magnet. After all, the tablet computer is covered with a glass plate and is large and heavy enough (1.5 lbs) to easily slip out of a one-handed grasp. In fact, the iPad would seem to be the most fragile–yet popular–gadget on sale right now.
 iPad Cracked Screen Repair at Dr. Cell Phone Repair shops, however, say they are getting few damaged iPads–much fewer than the many broken iPhones they see daily. Ryan Arter, the president of Kansas-based Mission:Repair, has seen one iPad so far. The device had been dropped and had a broken interior liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, though its outer glass layer was intact. The result: half the screen was greyed-out or obstructed by static (see photo above). Arter’s staff designed a jig that stabilized the iPad so the glass could be removed and replaced. Afterwards, the device “worked perfectly,” says Arter.
Asif Noorani, the founder of Dr. Cell Phone, a chain of repair shops in Texas, has also seen one iPad. This one, too, had a cracked screen. Noorani’s company charges around $250 to fix iPads, about the same price as repairing a MacBook.
Some iPad owners may be patching up their devices themselves. Repair company iFixit, which aims to be an online hub for repair guides, recently posted a service manual for the Wi-Fi version of the iPad on its site. The document gives step-by-step instructions on how to remove the LCD, replace the battery and other tasks. A manual for the 3G iPad is also in the works.
Equipped with these guides, savvy consumers should be able to fix their iPads at home, says iFixit co-founder Kyle Wiens. “We opened the iPad 12 different ways to find the simplest method,” says Wiens. “Our conclusion was, ‘Yes, we can make this easy for people to do.”
Do-it-yourself repairs aren’t risk-free, of course. It’s easy to break the plastic tabs that surround the iPad’s glass edges, for instance. To solve that problem, iFixit has commissioned replacement tabs and will include them with any iPad part it sells, says Wiens.
Apple offers a complimentary one-year warranty for the iPad, as well as extended coverage–for $99–that provides repair or replacement service for two years from the original purchase date. These plans do not cover damage caused by accidents or “normal wear and tear,” however.
Is the iPad destined to be a popular repair product like the iPhone? Noorani points out that the number of iPad owners is still small compared to the tens of millions of iPhone users. Wiens notes that the glass in the iPad is a little thicker (1.18 mm) than that in the iPhone (1.02 mm), making it more resistant to breakage.
iPads are also getting extra protection from the many cases and screen protectors on the market. Apple sells a $39 case with a “soft microfiber interior and reinforced panels to provide structure”. Other companies have crafted cases out of silicone, wood and hard polycarbonate.
Despite the slow start, Arter believes the iPad will be a “big product” for Mission:Repair. “The fact that it’s glass and relatively big and thin means there will be a lot of damaged devices,” he says.

The latest Android flavor of the week is the Droid Incredible from HTC.
But T-Mobile wants you to keep an eye out for its myTouch line, which gets a robust update in the myTouch 3G Slide. This new landscape slider, which comes out in June, takes a lot of the best attributes of HTC’s Sense user interface and builds another layer on top.
 HTC MyTouch Repair Service at Dr. Cell Phone It creates an even more polished experience, with added touches from T-Mobile that make the phone more social and helpful for users than its predecessor.
The main improvements include a Faves Gallery for up to 20 of your favorite people. This specialized contacts application lets you see all your communications with your favorite people and prioritizes your updates from those people. For instance, your phone will flash a green light when one of your Faves contacts communicates with you.
There’s a Genius Button that lets you activate voice commands for making calls, composing texts and e-mails, conducting Web searches or launching applications. The feature will also read incoming text messages.
And finally, there’s myModes, which builds off the Sense interface themes. Themes allow you to customize your interface for different occasions, say for work, evenings and weekends. MyModes automates the switching between themes based on the time of day or your location. So it can switch from work mode to home mode when you leave the office or hit a certain point in the day.
MyTouch 3G Slide also has full Microsoft Exchange support as well as the ability to run seven panes from the home screen.
The phone also boasts a full slide-out keyboard without adding much bulk to the body. The camera gets an upgrade to 5 megapixels and the screen is bumped up to 3.4 inches. It will run Android 2.1, which includes free turn-by-turn navigation.
This adds momentum to the fast-growing Android platform. We’re still waiting for Apple’s fourth-generation iPhone, expected to be released in June, but the well of Android competition keeps getting deeper.
With the release of two new highly sophisticated touch screen phones HTC myTouch and HTC Incredible, Repair services at Dr. Cell Phone continue to help people who remain uncovered from the manufacturer warranty. Dr. Cell Phone provides the most affordable HTC Repairs for both walk-in customers in Dallas, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Fort worth and Houston TX and Mail-in customers from all across the united states.
