Hello,
I have posted this problem here before, but never received a response.
I am a proud owner of an iPhone 4GB, yet I cannot seem to get it working properly. I had recieved this phone from a friend, as he knew I could do something with it. He had thought the screen was broken. Turns out only the glass was shattered and the rest functioned perfectly. I did not expect this as this phone was ran over by a Hyundai in January by an angry wife. The phone was out of commission since. I used the phone as a camera and web browser for a few days until I decided to do a full restore via the phone. It took 45 minutes to restore, and then asked to be connected to iTunes. When I got home in 20 minutes, I connected it. With no results. I kept screwing around with until I finally gave into Apple tech support. The guy was incredibly helpful, but could not figure out the problem. He advised calling AT&T, which I did. Most useless 20 minutes of my life. All they could tell me was to plug it into a computer. I have left it alone for a while. I have noticed that if I try to place an emergency call, and just keep hitting random buttons, it will bring me to a home screen and suddenly turn off. Any ideas? I just want to use it as an iPod. Thanks!
 
Please feel free to reply on the previous thread after reading the story of the phone here.
 
Give it up. No one is replying b/c we can't diagnose/fix you phone on a forum. Your phone was run over by a car. That it is not in a thousand tiny pieces is a testament to Apple engineering. "He's dead, Jim." Time to but a new phone.

Please...no more bumps.
