All About the iPhone 4 Screen Repair

So you just broke your iPhone 4 Screen... and had a heart attack. I know the feeling... hearing that slap of the iPhone on that hard surface, and just dreading to look at it, until you pick it up and *BAM*... there it is. Cracks galore (unless your super lucky and barely crack your screen). And the worst part is? It's probably not the worst drop you've done to you iPhone... it just landed just right and smashed the screen.

So what do you do now? Well, you could send it to apple, and for just shy of $300 you can mail your iPhone off to them, they'll fix it and send it back. But who can live without their phones these days? Esp us with iPhones... I mean, c'mon... I know you use it like I do... 24/7/365, huh? So if you do your research, you will find that the iPhone 4 is expensive to fix. Yes, it's new, and that' plays a factor, but to be completely honest, it's more than that. The iPhone 4 has the 'retina' screen, which is an LCD that puts out over 3x the resolution you had before in your iPhone 3G or 3GS. Not only that, but the LCD is permanantly fused to the Digitizer/Glass. How do we know? In the first two months, we have fixed over 40 iPhone 4 Screens. And tried to separate them... never once being successful. And now the kicker: With the iPhone 3G and 3GS I can have any part replaced in a screen typically fixed in under 10 minutes. With an iPhone 4, it takes anywhere from 30-1:30 to replace the screen properly and have all parts functioning in sync.

So, what's the damage? Check out our current price for a Complete iPhone 4 Screen Replacement.

sqlite databases (.db files) delete after iPhone restarts

For those experiencing issues with databases such as addressbook or sms database being reset, deleted or otherwise modified after making a change to it, is due to the rejection of the database. This is usually caused after a user replaces the database from a back or other Chaim file, usually during a 'rollback' of an operating system on the iPhone. The system actively rejects te database as corrupt or unrecognizable due to changes made to the structure of the database by Apple, and thus the additional fields or metadata is incompatible with the current .app that controls such database. In turn, te system usually deletes and creates a new database during startup. You will usually see an apple logo and loader bar and circle appear flickering over the existing screen.

Solution:

You need to use a database program to access the intended sqlite file and compare the structure with the structure of a functional database, and make modifications to make the database structure match. Additionally, look for the metadata for the database itself, so that you can change the version number to that which is to work by default.
