Im having problems with my iphone

Question

Hello,
First and foremost id like to express my extream dissatisfaction with my current Iphone 4, i brought it at a local store over a year ago (8 or 9 month ago) and since day one it started presenting problems.
First problem was everytime i conected the earphones the music would sound distorted and squeeqy, it got to the point, i would plug in the earphones and couldnt hear anything at all. I was told this was a common problem to plug in and out the earphones various times to make it work.
After trying to fix it, with no success i decieded to go on using the iphone just by listening to everything in speakerphone. One day i was using facetime and my iphone froze, i restarted my iphone believeing it was a problem with the network connection and when trying to re open my camera the lid would stay stuck and the app would not open, i was able to use the camera via instagram and other apps, but the cam would never open on its original application
After beeing extreamly fustrated i called the apple support and explained to them i had done a full factory restore and my iphone camera would still stay stuck in the lid. The awefull support team for apple told me like...well there is nothing we can do your iphone is out of warranty, even though i had recently purchased it and had POP (proof of purchase) on my behalf. I decided to take matters into my own hands now that i was "out of warranty" and apple wasent going to do **** for me, i took my phone to a shop repair, (notice i payed 462.93 US$) for this i still had hopes to fix it. They opened the iphone and where able to change the "'flair"' or whatever it is you call it. I had my camera fixed and my earphones, about a few weeks ago THE **** PHONE doesnt detect any wifi hotspots unless i stand really close to the routers, and about 4 days ago i have a message that says NO SERVICE, its really wierd cause i pay very expensive for my phone line, so i called my phone service, and their seemed to be no inconvinience with my line, i tried my sim card in another iphone and it seemd to be having perfect signal. So i tried a reseting my networks settings, that didnt work, and now i did a factory restore, and it still says no service. Im so dissapointed with apple and iphone, the only reason i have not changed to samsung is becuase i have a Macbook and was looking forward to purchasing a IPad but it seemss as if throwing this "smartphone" to the trash would do much better, the apple phone suppport is the ****, support ever, calling my little brother works better. Apple has no interest in helping their customers, and getting their issues resolved. I work in a harddrive company and anytime one of our customers calls in whith a complain we do our best to give them world class customer service. With all the billions apple receives a year they should take their time and hire some personel or improve in making their products a little better.  i    I have no idea what to do to fix my problem and im sick and tired of waisting so much money trying to fix a cellphone which is apperantly NON fixable, this makes me want to **** apple and move on with something that might work just a little better. Sides the fact i pay alot of money purchasing all the gadgets for my iphone still nothing works. Its a very big shame i didnt pay attention when they told me iphones would give me this much trouble and not buy a samsung.
Please remind me to never recomend iphone to anyone ever again!

Answer 1

try replacing the sim card after that it needs to be replaced and since you had some one else open up the phone you would lose the out of warranty replacement price and have to buy a new one at the full retail value
