Brand new iPhone 5s earpiece volume very low while making/receiving calls

I bought an iPhone 5s yesterday, set it up and updated it to iOS 7.0.3 and much to my dismay I tried to make a call and the earpiece volume is extremely low. Is there a simple fix for this or some sort of explanation or should I book an appointment at the apple store and ask for a replacement. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I have fixed it believe it or not?
What I'm about to say is totally crazy and no one should try this if they have the same problem!
Ok are you ready?
As I got to a stage where I almost want to smash my phone, somehow an angel in me came out and said "why don't you just tap it against the table first before you hammer it?". So I did just that and guess what? God must have spare my N82 from the devil in me because it is actually working fine now!
I told you it's crazy... and please don't ask me how hard I tap it?

New iPhone 5 just started being unable to place/receive calls

My iPhone 5 just started being unable to place (says call failed) or receive calls. Cellular data works as do texts. Called ATT, can't figure it out on their end.

I just went to the Apple Store and their solution was to replace my phone.

IPhone5 earpiece volume very low

i have the volume maxed out & I removed the screen film protector the first day. if i'm in a quiet room, then i can hear clearly with the max setting. however, if i'm outside i miss half the other people's words, and i'll add that i not only have perfect hearing but it's so hypersensitive i can hear a pin drop in the next building over. the problem is with background noise max volume is way too low. my 10 yr old LG phone Medium volume (what i normally used when outside) was louder than Max volume on the iPhone5. this is a joke. technology 10 yrs later on Apple's flagship iPhone model should be a drastic improvement! for the price of this iPhone the most important feature is missing. what's the point of a phone if you can barely hear the person you're talking to? i talked to a couple friends who have iPhones and they said the same thing, so it's not a hardware glitch specific to my device.
i've spent hours looking for a solution, tried several apps under the search terms "Volume boost" & "Volume up", plenty of apps show up but none of them work for this purpose. there has to be a way to increase the internal volume setting for all speakers.
anyone?

Brand new iPhone 4 earpiece not working

Hi all,
I bought a fully unlocked iPhone 4 a few days back, I din't have a micro sim so I waited till today to activate the phone, I was checking the phone and found that earpiece is not working, I mean, I'm not able to hear anything on call, Calls through speaker phone is working and calls through earphones are also working, but the earpiece doesn't work, My phone is under warranty but the nearest Apple service center is 5hrs away from my place, just wanted to know if it's a software glitch or hardware problem.

If the device is in fact new, it is highly unlikely that it is running iOS 4.3.1.
Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.
Upgrading to the current version of iOS would also be a good thing to try.
If none of that resolves the issue, then it is hardware related.
Either return to the place of purchase for exchange (since you should still be within the return/exchange period) or take it to Apple.

Second (brand new) iPhone 4 stuck on "connect to iTunes" while trying to update.

My iphone 4 was stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen, and NOTHING I did fixed it. I took it to the Apple store, got a brand new iPhone 4, and it bricked again while trying to update to iOS7. Same thing... stuck on "Connect to iTunes". I'm connecting to a PC.
What else can I try??

The iTunes version is 11.1.2.32, and there are no error messages. I'm trying to restore from backup eventually. But for now I can't even restore to factory settings. I've tried DFU mode, and that does not work, or at least I'm can't even be certain it's going into DFU mode.
Windows gives and audible noise to signify that a USB device is connected, so I know that somewhere beneath the surface Windows knows it is connected, but iTunes doesn't react at all, and the Windows file explorer, and even the drive manager in adminstrative tools, don't even show a volume connected.

However, SMS is a carrier function. You say that iMessage is working, so I would contact the carrier since it is SMS is not working.

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'm about to hulk out guys! Brand new iPhone 5 and need to update iTunes for recognition. Keep getting "the installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail." Can anyone help? I may smash something very soon.

iTunes:
AppName: itunes.exe
AppVer: 10.5.0.142
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 001be6f6
Quicktime:
EventType : BEX
P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe
P2 : 7.71.80.42
P3 : 4ea5c6ef
P4 : QuickTimePlayer.dll
P5 : 7.71.80.42
P6 : 4ea5c6d5
P7 : 00005b6d
P8 : c0000409
P9 : 00000000
That's consistent with another application (other than QuickTime) having dropped old QuickTime componentry in non-standard locations on the PC.
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Have brand new iphone 4s. Wifi signal is very weak even when very close to router. I have also an iPod Touch and when both are side by side, the iPod wifi signal is excellent and the iPhone wifi signal is very poor??!!! Hardware issue? or software issue? I was hoping it is just a software issue, but...
Saw may web sites discussing this same issue; many discussions point to hardware problems but there is no official word from Apple about it, which is disapointing !?? Few discussions point to software problem with solutions based on try and error, and they don't seem to work.

did not help at all; the problem continues the same

Brand new iPhone 6 battery life dropping very fast and charging even faster

my brand new iPhone 6 that I have just recently started using the day before has a surprisingly bad battery life. whrn first turning on the phone to use the battery life only last 1-2 hours with average use. when the battery died this morning I pluhe'd the phone into charge and the battery is charging very fast already at 25% and only being charging for about 15-20 mins. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this problem and if it is normal or if I have just recieved a faulty iPhone 6?

Can you check:
1. What apps show on settings - general - usage - battery usage?
2. How many apps have permission to use cellular data?

Earpiece volume turn low

without any notice the earpiece volume turn low after normal call and I tried to raise the volume up or down from the side botton and restart the phone but it didn't change anythings for next couple calls (the speaker volume was running normal)and it get back to normal after few calls with no reason, is there anybody have this problem before and know why it happen and by the way my Siri app. also start by itself continously during working on the phone any explaination.

The 3GS is my first iPhone and I have to agree that the volume is quite often much too low for my liking. I have noticed that it's not always, just more often than not. This goes for both the earpiece and the speakerphone. Volume through bluetooth is fine. My hearing is good.
After speaking to a couple of friends who just got the 3GS they all say the same thing, making me think that the volume is where it's supposed to be, but it's just too low for what I'd like it to be. For example, it's fine if I'm in a quite area (volume maxed out), but if there's any sort of background noise it becomes very difficult to hear the other person.
Unfortunately, I don't have any fixes, but if anybody else does, it would be much appreciated here as well!!

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.

How can I get a Brand New iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement phone?

4/26/2011
Does anyone how I can get a brand new iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement for my iPhone 3GS? I already had the phone replaced once with a refurbished phone that has a problem with becoming frozen and unresponsive. This occurred ten times since I got the phone on 4/16/2011. I have tried doing a hard reset and have also restored the phone as a new device. I have an Apple Care plan. I am concerned that the refurbished phones will not be reliable due to my experience with the refurbished one that I got as a replacement.
Thanks!

Thanks very much for your reply! I have a Genius Bar appointment today maybe they can test the phone to see if they can determine whether or not it is defective.
Thanks Again!

After i got it 10 mints my brand new iphone 6's screen begin to flickering then turn black

weeks ago i ordered a iPhone 6 on apple.nz website, i got it delivered yesterday afternoon, 10 min after first turning on the screen of my brand new iPhone 6 began flickering a little, i thought it will be fine, but then the situation getting worse. At very beginning, i can fix it with holding the home key, but later this solution did not work, the screen flickering badly then the whole screen faded into black. i have to restarted it couple times to make my phone work again.
so this morning i chat with the online service ten call the service number of New Zealand, they asked me to restore my iPhone by iTunes, so i did. but after that the flickering get more frequently , and the speed of turn black is getting faster.
it makes me stop all my work trying to make this iPhone 6 back to work, i spent about 4 hours in total calling the service center. i feel REALLY ANGRY NOW!
also i noticed that when i open the safari the home page is Apple China, I saw some comments about the products from China have many functional problem. If it was really i sincerely hope the apple company could take this seriously.

Okay, so after the call to restore the device and it didn't work, what did they tell you to do next? Since the device is brand new, it is still covered under the warranty, and it is still under the 14 day return policy. Take advantage of that and get a new one. You think that an occasional defective device is that bad? You are not going to get 100% perfect devices. Most companies are happy with 10% rejects getting out into the retail market. Given the record number of these things sold, you realize what 10% is?
