2011/02/02 | 521 | 2,166 | <issue_start>username_0: Well, due to a bit of an accident, my iPhone 4 got wet. The bright side is that it seems to not have suffered CPU damage, since it still boots up fine. The downside? It displays the connect to iTunes screen, and doesn't know its IMEI and ICCID when the information icon is selected. Naturally, I... |

Obviously it uses more power to "sleep" than to be off completely, but it uses *much* more power during the boot up and shut-down stages... Presumably, if I'm going away fo... |
