Brand new iPhone 5, replacement to my old iphone 4, battery life *****, earpod volume too low during music!!!

After a series of complaints and refurbished replacements of my iphone 4 for its home button issue, apple agreed upon giving me an iphone 5 - box packed and brand new. I was super excited that apple finally took responsibility and just then i had 2 bad experiences with my iphone 5 in less than 48 hours of use!
1st - the music volume on the ear pods is extremely low even on full volume. Have checked the volume limit, have verified there is no EU limit, have restored the phone as new!
2nd - the battery life *****! Like i said i have restored the phone a new. There have already been 3 updates to ios 6 and its high time this got solved. In less than 2 days i have charged my phone 3 times. I have listened to music on it for less than an hour so far, about 2 hours of calls on 3g, there is no LTE over here, and finally about 3 hours of facebook and whats app in past two days. Offcourse about 5 or so pictures i took to test the camera.
Today i unplugged the phone at about 8 am. Its 3:25 and the battery is dead!!!
Can u believe it, they shipped this unit from singapore and i waited for it for nearly 20 days. And in less than 2 days i hate it!
I am gonna re calibrate the battery this time and come back here and post what happens.
Till then, can someone tell me how can i make this thing sound the way it should. Cause right now the volume is just low.
Neerav Kothari
I have checked it on the bundles earpods, the ones i purchased separately and the iphone 4 bundles earphone.

Upadte: Recalibration did not solve the problem. Today I turned off iCloud sync for photos and Safari. I am at 75% with about two hours of use and six hours of standby. Dramatic improvement!
But I just saw the Battery Drain by two percent while using siri dictation to type this reply!

Oh, look around on this forum. Someone else had the same question and it was answered. It just takes a little time to set and should be fine.

Brand New Mini - Can't Migrate from Old

OK, Santa brought a brand new mini to replace my trusty 2007 mini. I fired it up and tried to use migration assistant to migrate from the 2007. First I tried it via network. It got to the screen where it showed the old mini as the source but then just sat there with the buzz saw spinning and 'looking for other computers'. I don't understand why it was still looking...it had found the one that it needed. So I plug my Time Machine disk into it. It gets to about the same point...shows the disk and the buzz saw and the 'looking for other computers' message. Why is it looking for other computer? I rebooted and it finally recognized the Time Machine disk and I selected what I wanted to migrate and it went on its merry way while we had dinner. I come back a couple hours later and it says 'copying system info...about a minute left' or something close. I left it there for about an hour and finally shut it down & restarted. It then went to the gray screen with the apple and the buzz saw and hung there for about an hour. I tried a few more times and then booted into the Utilities screen and am in the process of re-installng Lion. I'm not happy. Any idea what the problems were/are? I hope I can get it working after all this. Did I mention that I'm not happy?

HT1766 After I backed up my new iPhone with content from my old iPhone, all of my new content was deleted. How do I retrieve it?

After backing up my new iPhone with content from my old iPhone, all of my new content (photos, voice memos, etc) was deleted. How do I retreive this?

If you just bought the iPhone today, the first time you connect a new iPhone or iOS device to iTunes the first time that is used to sync with another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new iOS device, or set up the new device as a new device.
Sounds like you did the former and if so, this did not include backing up the new iPhone first. All data on the iPhone was replaced with the backup for the iPod Touch. The data that was on the iPhone at that time is gone.

I just got an iphone 6. Not all of my music was on itunes, so I logged in and instead of clicking set up as new iphone I hit restore from backup, thinking it only pertained to the music in itunes. Now my new iphone looks just like my old iphone and h

I just got an iphone 6. Not all of my music was on itunes, so I logged in and instead of clicking set up as new iphone I hit restore from backup, thinking it only pertained to the music in itunes. Now my new iphone looks just like my old iphone and has iphone 5 settings. How can I undo and get back to iphone 6 settings?

Settings/Reset/Erase all content and settings...
Recently I had to do the sequence above and when the phone rebooted, it came up as a new phone.

I've just bought a iphone 5 and have an old iphone 3. Apparenty I need to back up the old phone to transfer everything to the new one. How do I do that?

Ipod nano 2nd gen, 5 years old, has short battery life. Can the battery be replaced? If not, does apple have a replacement program? how much?

Details:
5 year old 2nd Gen Ipod nano only works for an hour the most. Battery may be approaching end of life.
Can this still be replaced? if not, what are my options? Does apple have a replacement program?

Just would like to share with you, my experience with a friend's Nano with a smiliar problem
The battery level could be too low to boot up the OS of the iPod, which even may corrupted (if you see a folder icon).
The best way to fix it, is to connect it with different device other than your PC as it is likely not get charge at all, e.g.
1. car charger
2. ac charger
3. ipod speaker dock system
4. using firewire cable
5. with a Mac computer
The key is to charge the battery level up to the minimum for you to put your Nano into disk mode

once you see the "tick" mark, connect it with a computer, and try to do a Restore for your iPod. In case you still do not manage to get your iPod to be recognized by a PC, I am afraid you have to connect it with a Mac, very likely it will allow you to do a Restore as I did last night

Can I use my iphone 4g microsim with my old iphone 3g interchangably?

can I use my iphone 4g microsim with my old iphone 3g interchangably using a microsim adapter? PLEASE CONFIRM IF YOU KNOW THANKS

There is no such thing as an iPhone 4G. The model is iPhone 4 as in 4th generation in the line of iPhones. As for using a SIM adapter or cutting a SIM card to fit in one of Apple's iPhones it would void the warranty with Apple. Apple doesn't support SIM card adapters and especially don't warranty users cutting SIM cards to fit a MicroSIM card slot.

Iphone 5 broke switched to old iphone 4 but cant get texts from other iphone users cant do anything with iphone 5 like i said its wayy broke

IPhone 5 broke switched to old iPhone 4 but cant receive texts from other iPhone users cant do anything with iPhone 5 screen does not work

I'm guessing that you turned off the iPhone 5? If so, then are you using the same phone number as the 5? You need to go into Settings>Messages>make sure that iMessage is turned on and activated. Then go the Send & Receive and find out if your current number is checked.

HT201401 My iphone 5 always shuts down between 20-10% battery life...It drives me crazy

My Iphone 5 always shuts down between 10-20% battery life...

In response to the other posts, I have not had any issue with the battery until the update to IOS7 and I have been using the phone for over a year. I am not suprised that the store would say the battery was bad, the phone thinks it is and shuts down. I do not know what plugging it in does for the phone, but after I plugged it in for just a few minutes it lasted for several hours. it was not that the battery was dead, but how the camera works with the system on IOS7. I do not know if taking a picture and saving it while using the flash cause a large draw etc, but whatever it is the system then thinks the battery is dead when it isnt. The hard part is once you apply power it will go away and there is no way to verify the issue. Even if it is weaker battery it should not just shut off with 20% power and then not work until power is applied. The battery is not dead as it has worked for several hours afterward. I have not used the camera in those cases for fear of losing my phone until I could get to a power cord. I am not aware of it happening twice in a row, but I will test it next time I am near a power cord after it dies. I would also concur, that this is a quick failure for the battery also as the phone is just over a year old.

I have the new iPad. Even with airplane mode on, my battery life is extremely limited. Is there a problem with the battery? I used to have the ipad2 and had no such problem.

What is your brightness setting & how many apps are open?
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

I just bought my first iphone. I am so disappointed in the battery life on the iphone5. Have the phones always been this way? Is there anything in the works to improve the battery life?

I just bought my first iphone. I am so disappointed in the battery life of the iphone 5. Is this the norm for iphones? Are they working on a fix to this problem? Almost wishing I had bought something else.

Without knowing what battery life you are seeing we can't determine if you have a problem. Have you compared your usage to the Technical Specifications?
Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G
Standby time: Up to 225 hours
Internet use: Up to 8 hours on 3G, up to 8 hours on LTE, up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
Under normal use, unless there's a problem with your phone, battery life is comparable to any other smart phone and better than some. If you've never owned a smart phone before you will be disappointed with the battery life on all smart phones. You should expect to charge any of them daily. It's a mistake to think of it as a phone at all; it's a very powerful pocket-sized computer that can also make phone calls.

At the top of my iPhone 4s,(on the home screen) only the battery life is showing but on any other screen, it is normal. How do I fix it?

have you tried resetting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and the home button until the phone restarts?

I recently had to get my iPhone 4s replaced. The old phone was backed up to ICloud. I get a message when I plug this one in that it is not backed up and there isn't enough storage left to back it up. How to I remove from the other phone so I can back th

I am trying to back up my new Iphone on to ICloud. It shows I dont have enough storage because it still has stuff from the old IPhone. How can I back up this phone and erase from the other. Apple kept the other phone when they replaced it. If I hit the delete storage for the other phone (which shows up on the Icloud Icon on this phone) will I lose everything on this phone? That's what I want to avoid....

If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
Good luck in retrieving that information.

Switching new iPhone 3G sim to the old iPhone?

I just updated my old iPhone with the new one. I am currently a sports camp director at a local YMCA. I would like to use my old iphone during the week while at camp working so that if anything happens to it, im not to upset. I was told by both at&t and apple that switching the new sim to the old iPhone is possible, all I had to do is a mini regestration with itunes. When I try this it wants me to aggree to a new two year aggreement and it seems like it would reset my curnet plan. Does anyone else tried this?
Thanks,
Javelin40

Personally, I would just swap the SIM cards without doing anything. There is nothing it could harm, only benefit you if it works like that. If it doesn't I would go to an AT&T store. I would also avoid syncing with iTunes during that week though. Just use the wall charger if possible.
You can't just put in a SIM card into an iPhone and expect it to work, like would a Motorola RAZR. Once the SIM is in place, the phone has to be reactivated in order to work.
