Technical Glitches in brand new Iphone 4S

Hi
I had bought iphone 4S in July'2014 from Amazon.com. Earlier I was using iphone 3GS which I used for 3 years without any problems. But since I had bought 4S I have been facing so many technical glitches in the phone. Few of them I want to list on this forum.
- Hang Problem especially when 3G network is on.
- Slow, Unresponsive to Touch
- Unable to receive calls i.e. It shows full network but doesn't receives calls
- Voice Control automatically gets started sometimes
- Home Button gives slow response
I am not able to identify why the problems are occurring. I have checked Serial number of the phone on apple.com to verify the originality of the phone but it shows ok.
Please let me know your suggestions, feedback & steps to be taken to resolve the problem.
Thanks

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Have you tried those?

  • Thanks this was very useful.. I have a brand new iphone 4s unlocked version from singapore and I am having the same problem constant network fluctuations, no service, call failed, invalid sim, sim failure, bars fluctuating from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1, no signal/ba

    I have a brand new iphone 4s unlocked version from singapore and I am experiencing constant network fluctuations on my iphone , no service, call failed, invalid sim, sim failure, bars fluctuating from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1, no signal/bars searching etc... Ifeel miserable after trying out all the options changed multiple sims, tried multiple carriers, restored the phone back and have set-up as new device but the problem does not get solved... its is so frustrating that after investing on a world's most expensive phone you cannot enjoy the calling features which the phone offers which is the main thing you own the phone for.. Rest of the things are working.. The funniest part I am not able to make calls or receive calls but can access the internet..  I have tried every possible thing and really very frustrated with this iphone of mine...I hope the problem gets solved.. would anyone have any solutions to this problem.. Does it mean one should never update software as I hear that after updating to IOS.5.1 the problem has started coming and same has been with there.... Apple says its a hardware failure which is very difficult to digest as sometimes I get 5 bars and able to make and receive calls but 95% of the time I am unable to. If anyone has any solution I will be very happy if he or share can share the same. Many thanks. its so disgusting to experience this on top of this apple does not support global warranty for the phone as you need to go to the country from where you bought the phone for replacement.. Truly sad state of affairs.. very very very dissappointing.

    Have a look at this it might help

  • I have a brand new IPhone 4G.  For the life of me, I can't get the phone to ring. I have been in and out of my settings, have disengaged both silent and vibrate.  But when dialing my number from another phone, the call goes direclty into my voice mail

    I have a brand new IPhone 4G.  I can't get it to ring.  I have gone into settings and disengaged vibrate, and have engaged the ring button on side of phone.  But everytime I dial my number from a different phone, it doesn't ring. Rather the call goes directly into my voice mailbox (ogm heard immediately); not even one ring! Please advise

    Well, if it goes to VM immediately the call isn't reaching your phone, so no wonder it isn't ringing. Do you see a network displayed in the upper left of the screen? Have you activated the phone by connecting to a computer with the latest version of iTunes? Have you called your carrier to make sure they have provisioned it correctly?

  • I just bought a brand new iPhone 4s from a Three store. When I used the cloud restore to put the data from my old 3gs onto the device, it's prompting me for an Apple ID login with an email address that isn't mine!

    I just got a brand new iPhone 4S on a contract from my local Three store. When I used the cloud restore to put the data from my old 3GS onto the device, it's prompting me for an Apple ID login with an email address (hotmail) that isn't mine! My old phone has NEVER had any Apple ID other than mine log into it, and the new one's a sealed box that I've opened and set up from scratch. Can anyone please explain this? I'm worried there's some kind of problem with my iCloud data being mixed with someone else's or something... Since I logged in with my own ID, it's downloaded the data perfectly fine, but I just got the Apple ID prompt again a moment ago with this same hotmail address in it... I'd be very grateful for any explanation!

    In iTunes on your computer, select the Purchased section under STORE in the left column. Click on the first track and choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
    In the "Summary" tab you'll see details of the purchaser of the track. Click Next to go through all your purchased music one by one until you find the ones you need to get rid of.
    Unfortunately, there are no smart playlist rules that can filter tracks by the purchaser that I know of.

    If you can't restore from your backup you could try 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor to see if you could extract your notes from the backup.

  • Brand new iphone wont update, stuck in recovery mode

    So I just bought a brand new iPhone 5S today, and when I plugged it into iTunes I saw that there was an update for iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to update my phone, iTunes downloaded the update but wouldn't apply it to the phone, instead giving me a "waiting for iPhone" message.  After a while I tried reconnecting the phone but iTunes stopped recognizing it and my phone was stuck with the iTunes logo and charger on-screen.  I then put my phone in recovery mode - no results.  I tried syncing it with another computer, but I can't restore the phone without it also installing 7.1.2, which doesn't work and just gets stuck on "preparing to restore iPhone."  Is there anything I can possibly do to make my new phone work again? Did 7.1.2 actually just kill my phone?

    Hello rph30,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    First, since your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes, even though it is in recovery mode, please follow the appropriate link below for the computer you own:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Then ultimately go through the recovery process:

  • My brand new iPhone 5 keeps saying "Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure "___" is turned on and in range" when I try to connect to my BlueTooth Stereo.

    I just bought a brand new iPhone 5 (White and Gold) and have been having trouble keeping it connected to my BlueTooth Stereo.  The stereo was purchased brand new back in September and is current on all software.  Before I had my iPhone 5, I had the iPhone 4 and had no troubles with it connecting or remembering to connect to the stereo when it was in range.  Now, in order to connect to it, I have to first "forget the device" then search for it again, find it, and connect.  As soon as I turn either the stereo off, turn the iPhone off, or switch modes on the stereo (to CD mode, radio, etc) it loses the connection and does not pick it up again.  It still shows up in my list of available bluetooth devices, but when I try to connect it says "Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure '____' is turned on and in range" which of course, it is.
    I bought this stereo because I am a music teacher and use my phone frequently when teaching my classes.  You can probably imagine how cumbersome it becomes when after each class if I have alternated between using my iPhone to play music or switching to CD mode, I then need to "forget the device" and follow the steps I outlined above to get it working again.
    Has anyone else had this problem with the new iPhone and does anyone have a solution (I HOPE!!!!!)
    Thanks!

  • Brand new iPhone 4 - Nearly NO signal

    Hello.
    I got a BRAND new iPhone 4 yesterday. Had **** much trouble activating it. Could not understand why, but i see now it's because of signal.
    I got 1 bar in signal here. My 3GS lies beside it with full signal. Also my backup Sony Ericsson C702 got full signal. All on same operator. If i hold my hand over the iP4 i loose all signal, but 3GS and SEc702 is unaffected. I dont even touch it. Then i have to hold the iPhone 4 to the window and go slow in and lay it exact same place to hold the signal to 1.
    This is in Norway, the dealer where i bought it would / could not help me. Apple said i had to talk to the dealer. The operator said they had no antenna problems nearby.
    Anyone know how i can look this up? The dealer says i must order the "antenna fixing bumper" which is ********, because all that crap is build of is plastic! Which will not help the signal anyway.
    Please? I would appreciate if i diden't have to wait any longer to use my phone. If i have to turn it back i end up at the end of the list of waiting persons. Dammit

    3GS = 5Bars (Full)
    I4 = 0 Bars / 1 Bar (DB: -113 when 1 bar)
    C702: 6Bars (Full)
    All on Edge.
    I4 is BRAND new yesterday.
    Tried:
    - Reset network
    - Reset all
    - Restore
    - Restore & restore backup
    - Download new ipsw and restore from
    - Jailbreak and unlock
    - Restore with other sim (other carrier)
    - Called apple (said it was the retailer's problem)
    - Called carrier (said it was no problem with the closest antenna)
    - Called retailer (said i either could get my money back or wait for the bumper since the antenna had a problem they said it had to be that!)
    - Restoring again with sim1 in
    - Restoring with sim2
    - Resetting all settings
    - Hard Reset
    Still same problem. When i go outside i get 1 bar and edge (-113) can call and everything. But when i take it inside or puts it in my pocket i get "No Service".
    If i return it i have to wait enourmus time to get it fixed. Since norway have to send it to apple repair to check it .. Norway only got 2000 iPhone4 and it's all sold out.
    WHY apple? Why do you give me a defected device? Why dont you guys contact me and say "We'll send you a new phone directly NOW and you can just return the old to us!".
    Oh goood

  • FaceTime feature is not available on brand new iphone 5 from Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE)

    We got a brand new iphone 5 from Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). We are living in Italy and we are trying to setup the FaceTime on brand new iphone 5 but to no avail. Is there a way to enable the FaceTime features?
    Can Apple or the carrier are capable of doing it?

  • Siri not working on brand new iPhone 4S - using 4G or Wi-Fi

    Siri not working on brand new iPhone 4S - using 4G and Wi-Fi
    I have tried multiple times over numerous days in multiple locations
    Any hints?

    Well to start your iPhone 4S does not have 4G... it just shows 4G at the top of the screen..
    Try turning SIRI off and on.. if that does not work
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings..
    Because SIRI is a network connection to a server nothing more.. it is not on your device so nothing is wrong with your phone..
    Also SIRI is in BETA... and not 100%

  • HT1766 hi i just got a brand new iphone 5s i tryed to set it up but it doesnt work. when i plug it in with itunes it does all the back up and restore and when its finished i still cant use the phone as i still ask me to start the set up from the beginning

    hi i just got a brand new iphone 5s i connected to itunes to restore all my data from the previous phone. when all the back up is finished i still cant use the phone as it ask me to restart again....  dont know what to do i tryed to restore 3/4 times but again when the restore is completed i still can't use the phone????

    Replacements via Apple tech support are usually refurbished units, not new stock, though none of us here can say with certainty what you will receive. But you will not be able to tell the difference between new stock and a refurbished unit, and refurbished units generally go through more extensive testing than do new units, so getting a refurb may well be better than getting new stock.
