What to do when you screw up an iPhone 4S?
My friend smacked my iPhone 4S out of my hand from about five feet in the air and it went flying about four feet. It was in an Otter Box and seems to have no physical damage aside from a thin crack on the inside of the screen.
But, now when i turn it on it seems to have dead spots all over the screen and if I double click the home button while the phone is locked the music comes up as normal, but it will start fast-forwarding and rewinding, skipping songs, and the volume will change all without me touching it.
This is my second iPhone 4S because the first one I had had a long dead spot on the bottom of the screen and was swapped out for this one a few days after purchase.
I've had my current one for two months. Is there anyway I can fix it? I tried to restore it off my computer but it still glitches out when I try to reset my settings.
What can I do, besides getting a new phone?
Added (1). I can't go to an Apple Store. The nearest one is over two hours away.
Best advice could give you would be to go to a repair store with a good reputation for fixing such devices and then have your friend pay for the services since he/she smacked off your hand.
Send it for repairs or just buy a new phone and keep that as a spare
Take it into apple and see what they say

- Super Glue stuck in iPhone screw So I was about to replace the digitizer to my phone because of an unresponsive screen and I start unscrewing the first screws at the bottom of the phone and find out one of my screws was stripped! I have never even touched the screws, but I'm assuming when I tried to sell my iphone with uSell.com that the technicians there did and I tried the super glue trick to unscrew the screw but all I got was super glue stuck in the screw… How do I get that out?!
