iPhone 4 will not receive iOS8 upgrade and for iPhone 4S iOS8 will be the last upgrade. If you ask me it does not make sense buying iPhone 4 at all at this point of time!

Guys who like to protect the phones but do not want to add too much bulk and also a clean back that shows the apple logo, consider the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Very thin and clear back. Rs 999 on Flipkart. Watch out for knockoffs.

^^ you can report the same to the local police authorities and also your ISP to check if they could track the phone based on your IMEI. You also might want to email Apple regarding your loss.

Did you activate Find My Iphone ? If yes, you should get the last location. The reason for it being offline could be either it is switched off or they have restored your phone with some other Sim and Apple ID.

Guys I was robbed yesterday by 5 people, they took away my iPhone 5s. I'm trying to track the phone but it is continuously showing as offline, what shall I do?

oops bad.
Did you file police complain? If not, do that.
Continue tracking. These goons will sell it off eventually and the new owner will connect to Internet.
Once you could locate, you can seek police help to get back your device.

I wish this is as simple as I mentioned.

Sorry to hear about that. :Shockked:

Keep tracking your Phone with Find my Phone. If the thieves are not Smart enough ( I wish !!!!!) You could even locate the Phone No. (SIM No.) through your iTunes Account. But all these happens only when the phone goes Online.

Wish Apple had introduced Kill switch by now (May be in iOS 8 ).

How about your Finger Print Scanner ? Have you set that ?

Check with your Apple dealer also. Police Complaint is a must.

Hello All,

Thanks for all the suggestions, steps i have taken:
> I have put my phone on lost mode, using icloud. It will give my custom message.
> Reported to police but have not filled FIR

Now, whenever i check the status on icloud, it shows that phone is in offline mode. It can mean two things, my phone has not been switched on and connected to net since last 1 week or it has been factory reset somehow in GAFFAR MARKET.
What you guys think, shall i just forget about the phone now or shall i keep checking on icloud.
Bought myself Grand2 for now, dont want to invest again in 5s as 6 will be launching near Diwali.

If you own a jailbroken iPhone, I strongly recommend you install iCaughtu pro from the cydia store. It has many features like it can take picture using the front camera when someone enters the wrong passcode.
You can also disable turning off the phone when in lock screen mode.
The picture taken is immediately emailed to your predefined email id along with the location of the phone (can many a times be inaccurate if the phone is indoors).

I have been facing a recurring problem with my IP5 since I upgraded to iOS7. The phone hangs while the screen was locked. The usual pattern of occurrence is when the phone is kept in the pocket for long or while it is charging. I can decipher that it has got something to do with heating, probably. Till iOS 7.1, I could pull up the shortcut screen and pull down the notification screen but now, after 7.1.1 even that is not possible.
The only solution is to reboot the phone or if I received a call. Receiving the call 'activates' the screen.

Off-late, I am facing this problem quite often, sometimes even more than once in a day and it is spoiling the whole purpose of the phone.:Frustrati Has any one been facing this problem?

Is your phone screen locked with PIN? Double tap on Slide to unlock and without lifting the finger, slide it! Whether this opens the screen?

This problem was there in iPhone 4S also, but somehow it got rectified. I guess there were 3-4 Software Updates after releasing iOS 7. So, it got rectified before 7.1.1 in the case of iPhone 4S.

In any case, the current Version is 7.1.2, Update your Software and check. Apple will be aware of these problems through background data collection, and constantly updates Software for any bugs. Since, the hardware of 4S and 5 or 5C are different, it might have been corrected in 4S and not 5. iPhone 5 and 5C are the same in a different shell. Where as 5S is more advanced.

This is a Software glitch, so it'll be rectified in future updates. iPhone 5C Owners can check with the Dealer's, since it'll be under warranty.

@Gokrish- I have a PIN lock on my phone screen. I tried many ways out of frustration but the screen was unresponsive in such a situation. Will try out your suggestion. Somehow the problem hasn't cropped up today.

@jaaz- I am running on 7.1.2. IIRC the problem wasn't there in 7.1.1. I guess it has resurfaced recently. Lets hope it gets sorted out soon. The only saving grace is the boot time is far less than my previous Android phone.
