How many duds before I get an iPhone that works?

I'm either the unluckiest person on this planet or there's just something so very wrong!
Is there such a thing as using the Internet too much on an iPhone? Accessing and using apps too much?
I have had 2 iPhones, original and replacement. My second one now I haven't even had for a month. I've had 2 SIM cards, original and replacement. My second one now I haven't even had for 2 weeks.
I'm having issues with my Internet service as some of you who may have helped me in my previous posts know. I can have full 3G coverage and full area coverage yet it's impossible to get anything that requires the Internet to load or work. Getting constant error loading messages that I'm not connected to the Internet, when I definitely am connected to the Internet.
Turning the phone off then on doesn't work. Connecting iPhone up to charge or sync doesn't work. The Internet is very intermittent and just works whenever it wants to.
Have been in contact with my carrier several times, they tell me each time I have very strong and great coverage in my area and shouldn't be having these problems.
I've done nothing differnt with both the replacement iPhone or SIM card than I did with my original of both.
I'm only left to wonder is there any 'bad' apps that can cause issues? I don't even have that many apps on my iPhone and have plenty of space free. I don't visit any dodgy websites, or sites that would be likely to have viruses etc.
I'm at the stage now where I am seriously thinking of handing back the iPhone and cancelling my service because I'm paying a large amount per month for something I'm having continuing issues with and it's just not acceptable anymore.

Sorry to hear about your problems.
Restart, reset, restore are the basic troubleshooting steps from the manual:

We have had an original iphone for two and a half years and a 3gs since release day and have never even had to restore.
I hope you get the issues resolved.

  • How many FLVs before you get problems?

    I have built a small project in Captivate 4 (30 screens with 15 FLV files ranging in duration from 30 - 60 ; FLV sizes are between 3 and 6 mb).  I am encountering the following issue:
    Course plays fine when FLVs are unsynched
    FLVs "stutter" randomly when synched to project
    The video was shot at 29.97 FPS but I have re-exported it at 30 FPS.  I also set preload to 100% and strangely this reduced the severity of the issue but did not fix it (I say strange as the FLVs should not be affected by the pre-loader)
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?  My questions are:
    How can I synch FLVs without stutter during playback
    Is there a limt on the number of FLVs that can be included in an individual project?
    Is there a limit on the total duration of FLV footage that can be included in a project?
    Much zen and good wishes to all who reply (and potential consulting gigs!!!)
    Cheers

    You don't.  Apple's warranty provides for replacing your device with an identical model (same model, carrier, capacity & color).
    And you aren't getting a new iPhone.  You'll be getting a remanufactured iPhone, which has gone through a more thorough inspection than any new iPhone ever does.
    If you want a newer model, then trade-in or privately sell your current device and use the proceeds towards purchasing another device.

  • How can I tell how many emails I have on my iphone now that I have installed the update?

    How can I tell how many emails I have on my iphone now that I have installed the update?

    Your current camera roll is stored in iCloud via the backup, and the photos in Photo stream are also stored in iCloud for about 4 weeks.
    However, once you delete them on your iPad, they will disappear from your backup the next time it runs.
    The best way to sort your issue out is to:
    1) Connect a Windows or OS X computer to Photo Stream.  This will get your current photos onto your computer.
    and/or
    2) Connect your iPad to a Windows or OS X computer through the USB cable, and sync the photos across before deleting them from your iPad. This will get photos and videos.

  • In how many days i can get i-Phone 6, if i order it online from apple store, Tulsa

    In how many days i can get i-Phone 6, if i order it online from apple store, Tulsa,OK, USA

    In no days at all because you will not be able to order it from the Apple store online if you do not live in the USA and by your user name I am assuming that you don't live in the US?
    The US Apple store online will not ship outside the US, so wait until you can purchase the iPhone 6 in India or wherever you are and buy it then.
    Anyway, pre-orders for the iPhone started last Friday, so pre-orders now are looking at an October/November delivery date, but forget that because you can't anyway.
    Wait until you can get it in your country and then buy it.

  • How many Multi-Touch points can an iPhone/iPod touch have at the same time?

    How many Multi-Touch points can an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad have at the same time?
    I am curious as IIRC (but forgot where the article is on the Internet),
    if a touch surface is wanted to be able to detect more than 1 touch point at the same time,
    then that touch surface needs adding 1 more conductive(?) layer.
    (e.g. 2 points -> 2 layers, and so on)
    So I wonder how many these layers are on the iPhone / iPod touch / iPad or even the trackpad on every MacBook (Pro).
    (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Just curious, thanks in advance!

    I believe it can only support 2. This article explains how the touch screen works but doesn't explicitly say how many points is supports.

  • I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

    I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

    In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
    I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

  • How many installs do I get with a Creative Suite License

    How many installs do I get with a Creative Suite License and if more than one can I put a copy on MAC and Windows?

    Hi Isendusersup,
    You can install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, depends on the Platform for which you bought the product (Creative Suites License ). For Creative Cloud subscription, it can be any two platforms.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers.  You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Suite license or Creative Cloud apps on it.
    For Creative Suite - To deactivate from preinstalled machine, Open any Adobe CS application > Help Menu > Deactivate.
    For Creative Cloud - To deactivate from preinstalled machine, Open any Adobe CC application > Help Menu > Sign out.
    Let us know if you need more assistance.
    Thanks!

  • HT4623 how can i get my iphone to work without itunes

    how can i get my iphone to work without itunes

    You don't need a computer at all to activate and use a phone running iOS 5 or 6.
    Turn it on, go through the activation steps on screen, and you're up and running.
    Are you having some kind of problem you'd like help with, or is this just a hypothetical question?
