I am on my 3rd iPhone 4s since March due to the earpiece volume going bad.

I am on my 3rd iPhone 4s since March due to the earpiece volume going bad. Now the one I have (since early september) is starting to dwindle...am i doing something wrong, or do I really keep getting bad phones?? I am getting frustrated! I never had this issue w/ any other phones before! I have the apple care plan, so they have just given me a new phone each time, but are they just going to continue to do this?

All you can do is take it back.

    And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
    I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
    The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
    And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

  • When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two

    When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two.
    It did it with my old iPhone 4 in last month or so, and it I hoped it would go once I updated to new iPhone 5. The problem has transferred to new phone too.
    I can't sign in to iTunes account on iPhone. It takes the password then resets to baseline. No error message comes up. On the base computer (pc) it will allow me to sign up and buy songs, apps etc. I can then sync the phone and put them on it. It just won't let me buy direct from the .
    As there are no error messages I am at a loss what to do. I have updated the payment details on my account, and my husband has an iPhone 4 and has no such problems. We share the same wifi. I have tried with 3G as well as wifi, with no luck.
    I am pretty much out of ideas, and have tried searching forums but there is so much overlap between queries that I can't find a similar problem from someone else, but I am sure it exists!
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thanks in advance

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps

  • Iphone - every time i click on the map it goes fuzzy and crashes. i have to restore on itunes after (in which i get errors) any ideas?

    Every time it does something to do with the CPU such as maps (which takes a lot of it i imagine) it'll then freeze, crash and the screen literally goes fuzzy like the exorcist.
    Once this happens I have to restore the safe mode restore the iphone 4, and then i get a bunch of errors (14) etc... in itunes.
    Any ideas on how to solve this?

    This doesn't help buddy, I can get around the Itunes restore...
    It's mainly the iphone itself, if i use the maps etc it'll freeze and the screen literally goes fuzzy.

    How come I keep getting a message saying that the accessory may not support the device?  I've been using the same charger that came in the box with the phone. Now it doesn't charge at all.

    Then take the cable, the plug and your iPhone to an Apple Store genius bar it is still  under the 12 month warranty

  • My ipod touch(3rd gen) will NOT update due to "The ipod software update server could not be contacted" Please help

    I have quite literally tried everything. My ipod touch just will not update.
    My internet connection is more than fine, my ipod functions as it should, and I can connect to the itunes store.
    It will not, however, connect to the update server.
    I have spent around 2 hours tonight troubleshooting and i still have nothing.
    Please help.

    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

  • Hey guys my iPhone acts up when i touch the screen it goes to something other than what i want it to why is that ?

  • I can't use facetime on any device, since March, what is the problem? All devices are up to date

    When I try to facetime another iphone, ipad, or mac, I can't it rings and says connect and then all of a sudden it says the other person is unavailable. It happens when someone calls me and when I call someone. All my devices are up to date, I am not sure what the problem is.

    If both you and the person  you are calling have the latest version of iOS, then read through this article to see if anything helps.

  • So I am guessing that the reason my iPhone 5 video is not recording is the same reason on the iPhone 4 and 4s...the upper microphone is bad? Anyone else have this problem?

    Basically there is just a fuzzy sound when i play back my video. This problem happened in a few of the earlier modles too so I am guessing I have to take my iPhone to the Apple Store.

    Hello Kizzyk,
    I would start with taking a look at the settings to make sure that you are able to send and receive messages. If everything looks good then the next step would be to remove the accounts and add them back in. Take a look at the article below for more information and details on how to troubleshoot your issue further.

  • My iPhone 4s keeps crashing due to the latest 8.0.2 software

    The latest software keeps crashing my phone. I can't upload photos to Instagram and the general use of the phone has slowed down massively!
    There has to be a way of fixing this?

    Absolutely agree. It's like having an old dumb-phone. I've had more app crashes and hard reboots in the last week or so than I had in the precessing 2 years. Even Photos, Camera and Music, Apple's own apps running on their own device and OS, are completely unusable. I'm waiting for 8.1 to fix this. If it doesn't I'm going back to 7.1.2 and staying there. It should not have been installable on a 4S with performance like this.

  • HT4528 I bought the iphone 4 within 30 days of the iphone 5 release

  • Earpiece volume better on newer iPhones?

    For those of you who recently purchased a new iPhone (within the last few weeks), how is your earpiece volume? Many iPhone users have complained that the earpiece volume is too low, so I'm curious if this is a hardware issue that has been corrected by Apple.

    I went into the Apple Store this evening and noticed that all the iPhones had been replaced since the last time I was there about 2 weeks ago. They were all 8GB. I tried making test calls on about 5 of the display phones and they ALL had significantly better volume than my iPhone.
    My phone was just replaced by AppleCare because I was experiencing distortion in the earpiece. The replacement phone they sent me (my current iPhone) has the low volume issue. It's been less than two weeks I received the replacement iPhone... do you think I could go to the Genius Bar and make a case for the the volume difference between my iPhone and the display iPhones, and possibly get another replacement?

  • 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
