Anyone else's iPhone 4S just up and die barely 3 months aftyer purchase???

Anyone else's iPhone 4S just up and die barely 3 months after purchase?

Thanks, Justin. It's a bit after midnight here and I'm kinda dead in the water with the ****** phone. They are supposed to call me later in the morning and I plan on going to the local Apple Store once they open, but meanwhile, I really think, given the prices on these things, that 24-hour live support SHOULD be a given. It was like, poof... one minute it was fine. I stuck it my jacket pocket, walked the dog, pulled it out of my pocket to put it on the car charger, which usually turns it on, and nothing... very, very frustrating, especially since my entire contact list is on it. I'll check my iTunes and see if my contacts are there... that will at least make me feel a bit better until I get hold of a live body. And yes, it is very definitely still under warranty. You'd think after all this time they'd figure out how to make them right the first time.

Anyone else's iPhone 5 shut down and ask you for your developer information?

i did this and even re added it to my developer account. now its not letting me activate my phone

Were you running iOS 7 beta? If so, as a developer you need to log into the Developer forum for assistance.
Not a developer and running iOS 7 beta? Then you've stolen Apple's software and will receive absolutely no assistance from this forum. Enjoy your iBrick!

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7. Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7.
Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.0.2. When I am on calls the phone started to beep and vibrate and sometimes change the call to speaker. It seems to be that the screen is sometimes active whilst on calls and so my ear is actually pressing the buttons and hitting numbers or changing it to speaker phone. It has also cancelled a call a few times.
This is extremely annoying and makes every call a worry.
Any ideas of how to solve this problem?

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Has anyone else's iPhone battery been ruined by the IOS 8.2 update?

Has anyone else's iPhone battery been ruined by the IOS 8.2 update?

When fully charged I get about 5hrs in idle mode before the battery dies. When actively using, I'm lucky to get 1hr. I've changed all my settings to use as little battery as possible as suggested by many a website. I've also spent an hour on chat to an Apple 'Genius' who basically went through the settings with me. Also it now takes forever to charge my 5s. All was working fine, quick charge and decent battery life, before I updated to 8.2.

Siri doesn't work still after the apple rep I spoke to said it would be back up this morning. anyone else have this problem too? and how can I fix it?

it has been 24 hours and Siri still doesn't want to take any commands anyone else have this problem too? and how can I fix it? she just keeps saying there is something wrong and to try again later. I didn't buy this phone to be jipped on any features.

Mine wasnt working either but i saw in another thread that you should try Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. Ignore the warnings, all your settings have to be changed back but you dont lose any media or data, you just have to put your background back and location settings. It fixed Siri for me but dictation still doesnt work. Hopefully it works for you :-]

Anyone else experience these boundaries to productivity and learning in iOS 8.1.1?

I have an iPad Air (wifi only) and iPhone 5s. I'm wondering if the following features exist in iOS 8.1.1 and maybe I've missed it?
#1- Raise to speak for Siri. I know there is "Hey Siri" but in order to use that it requires you to be a wall-hugger. Is that correct? I've read in a discussion board that you can hold down the home button to enable Siri, then bring it up to your ear. That seemed to work somewhat okay for me. I bought my first iPhone for the raise-to-speak feature...bought my 2nd iPhone for that reason. It's a necessary Accessibility feature for me.
#2- I know the Apple Wireless Keyboard always worked with my iPad Air and my iPhone 5s but wasn't always the same experience as when using a Mac. Meaning, the keyboard shortcuts that enabled me to be productive, weren't always enabled. For example, I can still use in Apple Mail, shift+command+D and that would send an e-mail I've drafted. I wish more of the same keyboard shortcuts I use on my MacBook Pro would be enabled with my iPad Air/iPhone 5s. But after updating, I noticed even more shortcuts were taken away. Things like fn+delete, command+delete or option+delete don't delete an entire word or sentence. I also can't use shortcuts anymore to highlight a sentence from my keyboard. Or at least, in Mail there seems to be some decent functionality. But in Safari when trying to send Apple feedback through these forms...no dice (on a consistent/reliable basis). Why not? Please bring that back. Being disabled is no fun. But these shortcuts helped me. Is it me, or have things gotten worse with this Apple accessory with iOS 8.1.1? Or, has anyone found a solution? Yes, I unpaired and re-paired the device. I also notice that while typing with the Apple Wireless Keyboard, it doesn't spell check as I type. That's no fun.
#3- Reliable searching in Spotlight. Keyword here is RELIABLE. I've seen a lot of folks on Twitter posting screenshots of searches in Spotlight in iOS 8.1.1 for even Apple apps (like Phone, Contacts, etc.) and nothing comes up for applications. I've had the same issue when it comes to searching for installed apps on my iOS devices. Why? I know the release notes for iOS 8.1.1 mentioned fixes for iPhone 4s and iPad AIr 2. But what about iPhone 5s and iPad Air? Where's the love? I've tried unchecking and rechecking the Spotlight options. That didn't help. Yes, reset all my settings. Didn't help. Right before iOS 8.1.1 was released, I had restored my devices.
#4- Reliable searching for event in the native Calendar app. Again, keyword here is RELIABLE. So a few times now, I have tried to search for (recent) or future events/appointments in the native Calendar app by tapping the search icon in the app. The result? Nothing was found when searching by that method. However, by going through the Calendar app (day-by-day) I was able to find the appointments/events I needed to. However, this experience was horrible and very tedious. And at first, I just heard about this issue from friends. And family members were asking me for help. Has anyone experienced this issue? Any workarounds?
#5- Battery drain issues since iOS 8.1.1 on both my iPad Air and iPhone 5s. For example, I was using Comcast/Xfinity's TV GO app to watch a movie I downloaded on my iPhone 5s. The device was in Airplane Mode and Location Services was off. The device ran very hot (even though it is quite cool in my apartment and outside, and it was not being plugged in). It went from a charge of 100% to the caution dialog box to recharge in just over 2 hours of viewing. Brightness setting was its lowest. Now, that experience is quite new to me. My battery was replaced by Apple about 4 months ago. I attempted to replicate the issue the following night with the same settings. It wasn't as bad but still a drain much faster than what I've seen before. Has anyone else experienced this type of drain? On my iPad Air, I've noticed a sharp decline in battery performance since updating to iOS 8.1.1 and I don't know why. And it's intermittent and frustrating. I use only Apple cords and adapters. I follow the instructions about Apple batteries and ways to optimize per the Apple website. Yet, I'm seeing a problem. Anyone else? Anyone have a fix?
#6- Is there any way to create location-based reminders on my iPad Air (wifi-only configuration)? I tried to make a location-based reminder and the native Reminders app wasn't having any of it. It would not allow me to do that. Why not? I tether my iPhone to my iPad.
#7 - Is there any way to use Apple Maps on my iPad Air (wifi-only configuration) when tethering my iPhone 5s? It doesn't do turn-by-turn navigation. Why not? Any workarouds?
#8- Sooo.....you know on our iPhones it gives us the cellular data breakout? Is there any way to get a breakout of how the iPad Air is using the Hotspot/cellular data? I ask because I know on Netflix website, there is an option to toggle playback settings. I switched it to "low" since I was going to be traveling. I noticed that when I tethered my iPhone to my MacBook Pro, the playback setting seemed to be at the low setting (based on cellular data usage from my iPhone). But when I tethered my iPhone 5s to my iPad Air, it ate up a whole lot of data. It's as if the Netflix app didn't adhere to change in setting. When I contacted Netflix, they said it was an issue with Apple. When I contacted Apple, they said it was an issue with Netflix. I was hoping to see some kind of cellular data usage report when we tether, so I can better help Apple or Netflix. Or...if you know of a way to get my Netflix to not eat up all my data, that would be great too.
I know this was a lot. But I appreciate any and all help. I'm interested in any other bugs you're seeing with the latest version of iOS 8.1.1. My apologies in advance if this has multiple spelling mistakes. Spellcheck and grammar check don't seem to want to work in this Safari session.

Anyone else notice iPhone 5's lens cover is uneven or tilted?

I received my pre-order black iPhone 5 on launch day (9/21/2012). I love it!
However, I noticed that when I pull the iPhone 5 out of my pocket there is often lint sticking out of the lens cover for the iSight on the back.
This morning upon closer inspection, I noticed that the lens cover is slightly tilted downwards.
It is visible to the eye, but it is especially noticeable when you run a finger across it.
I notice that the top of the lens cover is completely flush while the bottom is slightly less than flush. It is tilted inward, below the surrounding glass.
Does anyone else notice this? Is it perhaps just how it is designed?

I went to a Genius Bar appointment and after waiting 45 minutes a genius replaced my iPhone 5. In fact he replaced another one at the same time. He handled both of our cases simultaneously with an iPad away from the Genius Bar.
I'm happy with my replacement. He said it was a brand new phone, not a refurb. However, I inspected the replacement iPhone in store and I found a knick in the beveled edge and a scrape about 1cm long on the side of the iPhone. I decided that I'd rather have a couple of scrapes than a recessed camera lens. Once I got home and had it under better light I found dust under the lens. So overall I'm disappointed but I'm 99% satisfied with my device and its not worth the hassle to get a another replacement. I think there are definite quality control issues with the new iPhone, though.

Anyone else's iphone rebate number not work?

Just got back from the Apple store buying an imac.
I tried to use my three $100 rebate codes, but only 2 worked.
The Apple guy said that has happened a lot, and to just email Apple about it and they will get you another code...
Well, he said the email address was on the rebate form page, which it isn't... now I have to wait until monday to talk with someone about it.
Soooooooooo, anyone else have this problem?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar - http://apple.com/retail/geniusbar and let them decide.

Anyone else getting a loop between setup and "connect to iTunes"?

My iPad Air syncs with iTunes just fine, or so it seems, but the iPad doesn't know it and keeps trying to have me start the setup again. Anyone else?

Silly me. But, on some level, what were the human interface designers thinking?
After synching the new iPad, I was delivered to the same screen that greeted me when I first turned it on, leaving me to believe that nothing had happened. When presented with the possibility of setting up the iPad as a new device, I passed on that one, expecting that everything I'd added would be erased, so I never chose that option. Would it trouble the HID folks to deliver you to a screen that tells you where you've been and what you've done so far and gives you options of where to go? Where's Tog when we need him?
But it's just as much my fault for thinking that because I synched my iPad that I wasn't setting up a new iPad. I think.
Two calls to Apple Care resolved the issue. Over an hour on the phone.

Does anyone else's iphone not let them download new apps or update them?

I can't update any apps or download any news ones. Some of my apps are starting to crash, safari, facebook etc. I haven't restored it yet, I will once I get everything backed up. I just want to know if anyone else is having this problem too

Hmm alright then. my phone also stopped vibrating as well so i would miss calls and txts all the time. But recently everything has been working, i can download apps and update them and the vibrate came back. i have no idea what was up with my phone. it apparently has a mind of its own haha.
