Iphone 4 serious problems?

I'm just about out of ideas on how to fix my damned iphone. I currently own a standerd 8gb Iphone 4 running iOS 7.1.1, I'm in a contract with verison and i've had it for just around 4 years and have never jailbroken it or downloaded any "unstanderd" Apple content or any other 3d party applications from Safari. I brought it with on Vacation this week and it ran fine for the first few days on roaming while using WiFi. Just today however it started screwing itself, the phone would randomly open voice control and Facetime just about half my contacts and try to play music(I have no music what so ever installed on it). No matter what I pressed or tried it wouldn't let me exit out of it. In frustrasion I put it on a table to see if it had something to do with me pressing too much buttons or touching it. In frustrasion I watched it Facetime people on it's own for about half and hour and then exit when it pleased. I manged to lock it and I went to take a shower, when I came out I was greeted by it's damned annoying voice telling me it was going to again facetime one of my friends friends. I put clothes on and it started calling people. Long story short, all its been doing it is inverting it's colors, calling people, opeing voice control, and opening **** up. It started fliping out on iOS7.0.6 so I downloaded the latest version of Itunes and tried to updated and restore it but the computer "could not detect the iphone" and was stuck in recovery mode for a while until I finaly got it to update itself and restore itself. After doing all of that it still screws itself it the butt and keeps on flipping out. I know you guys get a million questions a day, but right now I'm pretty ******* ****** off. Any answers or sugestions?

http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iphoneuserguide.pdf page 114 has info on basic troubleshooting.
You can't see if an email is stuck which is why I said delete your email account from Settings and add it back.

HT6154 Having SERIOUS problems with iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4S!!!!

I am having SERIOUS problems here. Let me give you a rundown:
I have to reboot my phone (or turn it off and on again) to see the correct battery percentage (but I'll address that in a second), and once I reboot it or bring it back up again, it has to restart itself (in the middle of use) about 3 or 4 times before it stays on consistantly; all the while reading the percentage of battery it remembers from the last reboot. Now, about the battery percentage: I restarted it before I charged it last night and it read 16% -mind you, after it had to shut itself down and restart 3 times. I put it on the charger all night, and it still read 16%...but I decided to run a battery cycle (charge it all the way up, and drain it all the way down) to see if that would help. Sad to say, it did not help; infact it made things worse. It now flip-flops in between the Apple boot-up symbol and a black screen when plugged up to a charger or a computer. The computer cannot read the phone being plugged in so I cannot do a manual restore from iTunes.
Best yet, I upgraded to 7.1, and had the SAME EXACT PROBLEMS I AM HAVING NOW. I did a complete restore of my phone, and even set it up as a brand new iPhone, not even a restore from the last iCloud backup, and just loaded all my content from my Mac...and the problems decided to follow -even after the fresh restore.
I'm toying with the idea that it may be a hardware problem, but I would love to know if anyone is experiencing the same issue.
I have no idea what to do... please help.
I use my phone for business constantly, and almost cannot do my job without it.

ok well seeing that your are having major issues with the battery and the loading screen it is a hardware issue. reseting it wont help that at all. what you need to do is take it to apple and let them look at it. They can tell you what is wrong with it and how much it would be to fix it ( if it is possible your situation is really bad) but if its not they might give you a discount if you give the iphone to them.

Since i update my iPhone 5 with IOS 7.0.2, I start to have serious problems to call or receive calls from other telephones: is not possible to open the call at the first try. Somebody have the same problem?

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

Hi, I have an iPhone 5s, recently its been a lot hotter than usual, also the battery life is going down a lot faster than usual, and it takes absolutely ages to charge up. There must be a serious problem with the battery, any ideas? thanks

Serious problems including battery overheating

My dad and I both bought Revolutions and have had the same issues with our phones (listed below). We truly believe that the LG Revolution is a defective phone - what are the odds that we would both get "lemons"? While at the Verizon store on 3/13, the store, corporate customer service, and LG claimed to not be able to do anything for us except send us refurbished phones or return our phones to LG and have them worked on (HA. Seriously? Go without a phone? We don't have a land line anymore - might as well dump us on a deserted island). We were notified today, 3/15 that the phones were in the store ready to pick up, but they didn't come with new batteries! SERIOUSLY?!?! THE MAJOR ISSUE WITH BOTH IS THE BATTERY OVERHEATING! These phones are bound to either burn us or kill us. We don't want someone else's "fixed" phone, because it will just do the same thing! Unless Verizon will help us, I'm afraid we are going to get iPhones from another provider, as well as go to the BBB to file a formal complaint. I really don't want to, but I can't believe how much we have spent for our little death machines. We really hope Verizon will cooperate and uphold the standards they set forth in their employee handbook. We would love to be contacted by someone who can help. Please, don't give us the run-around. As anyone can see, factory resets, changing settings, etc. don't work. We have put up with those suggestions for months with no improvement.
My Dad's Revolution:
Bought LG Revolution ~July 3, 2011 for $250 + taxes & fees, car charger, (and eventually extra chargers). Over $300 total put in.
Battery gets overheated to the point that the phone is too hot to touch. This drains the battery from any percentage of battery to 0% in a matter of minutes. FIRE HAZARD IN YOUR POCKET! My dad's chest was almost burned! If it is too hot to touch on the outside, what is it doing to the guts of the phone?!
Not receiving text messages and picture messages that are sent
Internet doesn’t work properly - only when it feels like it
Loses data connection between 3G/4G/Wireless
Not always getting voice mail notifications
Phone burned up 2 wall chargers
Freezing
Phone is ringing, but the “answer call” screen doesn’t come up, so there is no way to answer the call
Phone rings once and then shows a missed call. When calling the person back, they say it rang the normal number of times before going to voicemail.
Not keeping a charge
Called sister next door and Dad could hear them, but she couldn't hear him. He called back and he could hear her fine, but she said he was very "scratchy" - keep in mind this is NEXT DOOR.
My Revolution:
Bought LG Revolution ~July 9, 2011 for $250 + taxes & fees, (eventually, multiple) car charger(s), insurance plan, (eventually, additional wall chargers) $400+ for the total cost
Battery gets overheated to the point that the phone is too hot to touch. This drains the battery from any percentage of battery to 0% in a matter of minutes. FIRE HAZARD IN YOUR POCKET! My thigh has almost been burned! If it is too hot to touch on the outside, what is it doing to the guts of the phone?!
Paying for “Unlimited Data” and phone constantly says “Mobile Network State: Disconnected”
Not receiving text messages and picture messages that are sent
Not being able to send text messages or picture messages
Getting the same text 3-4 times
Sending a text once and recipient getting it 3-4 times
Internet/apps don’t work due to no data
Loses data connection between 3G/4G/Wireless
Not always getting voice mail notifications – getting voice mails 14+ days late. This creates a serious problem for time sensitive messages.
Phone burned up 4 wall chargers and 2 car chargers
Freezing
Phone is ringing, but the “answer call” screen doesn’t come up, so there is no way to answer the call
Not keeping a charge. On a daily basis between 7:30am-12:30pm, I go from 100% to 20%. In the store on 3/13, the Verizon rep witnessed my phone go from 81% to 68% in about an hour
Phone rings once and then shows a missed call. When calling the person back, they say it rang the normal number of times before going to voicemail.
In the beginning, I would get email notifications and after I would read them, it would appear that they were “marked as read”, however, after I back out of the program, it notifies me of the same emails that I just read, only they’re once again “unread”. Now, I’m not getting ANY notifications of email except in the top drop-down screen, which if I click on it, I can see the emails, but after I back out, they disappear because the program decides not to work.
GPS is unreliable. It often says that I'm 2+ miles away from where I actually am.
The phone does what it wants to do when it wants to do it – not when you tell it to! All of our previous phones have given us reliable, clear service. What is wrong with this picture? HELP!!!

Hi I recently had the same problem with the LG Revolution. In fact it had been one of multiple replacement models that I had received in just a few weeks. The first two devices I had problems with them recycling power, I would make calls and they would make the same call multiple times i.e I would get through to the person I was intending on calling and the phone would call them on like a three way call asking me to merge the conversation I was only having with one other person... The 2nd replacement only lasted a few days. I was playing Words with Friends it gave me a sim error out of nowhere shut down. I checked the card after removing the battery and powered it back up. I was fine for about 10 minutes shut down and I was never able to turn it on again. The next phone they sent I received a few day ltr was the frosting on the cake. As soon as I tried to set it up the problems began. The phone was recycling power so much that it wouldn't fully power up before shutting down. Tech support insisted it had to be the battery, that there was no way they sent me 3 bad phones within 2 1/2 weeks... The new battery was sent over night. So I charged it up and gave it a go. It seemed fine at first, but then started acting up again. I resorted to it wasn't the battery and figured when I got to a land line or another line I would call Tech support. I was driving the phone was in my right lower scrub pocket apparently because of whatever mechanical defect it had overheated and burned me. I have been kind of at a loss when it comes to the Customer Service Dept. I have reported the incident to them even called to find out who to send my co pay bills too, no response. However they did have the nerve to send me a text asking for the device back or they were going to charge me $500. Now I'm thinking may be if people started taking things like this to the media they would act on it...

IPhone 4 camera problem

What's wrong with it? Can I fix it myself?

Looks like that's a "rweturn to store" fault I'm afraid.
Best bet is go through the restore as a new phone procedure, re-sync your files and see what happens but looks like a hardware fault.
Read the Restore procedure to make sure you understand what's involved

Apple Have Serious Problems With 10.7.5

Apple have very serious problems with their software and they do not have the courage to openly admit this to their customers. My company has been dedicated to Apple and all that is good. We have 2 Imacs, I macbook Pro, 1 mac Mini, 1 mac mini server, 1 ipad, 4 iphones and peripheries. I am on the verge of placing them all on a heap and putting a sledgehammer to them all because I am certain that 10.7.5 is such a corrupted release that even Apple technicians cannot help. My company has been on more and more get around fixes that are becoming more and more complicated by the minute. For the last 4 weeks I have been working 8 to 8 daily including some of the weekends to try and fix things. I have had the pleasure (genuinely) of working for two days following a knowledgeable Apple Technicians instructions to resolve a cloud issue and as of today I sit with one imac completely unusable with all sorts of errors and malfunctions - all software based. Other symptoms on other hardware include error messages saying the computer restarted due to a problem with the computer - even though we are carrying out clean shutdowns or restarts; inconsistent acceptance of passwords to i cloud on most equipment but in particular as highlighted above; nearly all applications opening on restart (I do know how to shut that off - in theory!!!!!!!); frequent and very lengthy beachballs; keychain is an absolute mess, slowdowns to the extent that I have to work on three machines to get the minimum of work done; and other random malfunctions or error messages. Apple's positive attitude to its customers used to be second to none. It seems to me that software (and hardware) releases are now too rushed and Apple do not care about software failures but rely on customers to troubleshoot the glitches for them and do so under warranty or more likely care plan support at further cost to the customer.
Just look at all the questions being asked by customers via web searches on the above issues and more. Lots of questions, no reliable fixes, and certainly no interest shown by apple to resolve the issues - in fact Apple have adopted the say and do nothing approach.
I love the products and have been a loyal ambassador to Apple but now my stress level, and the inability of my company to engage its business put me on the verge of taking every item my company owns with an Apple logo and at least gaining some satisfaction by placing them all in a heap and smashing the lots with a sledgehammer (deliberate repeat as this is now a realistic option)
It used to be a pleasure to use the products, and efficient. I am not looking for help on these matters as an Apple technician is working very hard with us but I feel he is as frustrated as us. We are nowhere nearer resolving our problems and almost daily there are other glitches emerging.
Apple are losing their way. They must listen to the directions given them by their customers frustrations.

What happens when you click the button?

A serious Problem occured on the screen of my 3gs!!!!!!

I bought my 3gs about 1 month ago.At first,I got good experience and learned the meaning of 's'.But then I found a serious problem.It happens ONLY JUST the moment I reopen the screen if I used the screen for a while.About 3 mm near to the edge of the screen it would appear some green lines(a small green square in the screen).I think this might be sometihing like afterimages.The longer I used the screen,the loooooooooonger the green lines will be.The most strange thing is if I don't use the screen for about more than 1 hour,it will turn back to normal.But after about 1 or 2 min it is bad again!
When I am using the screen not open the screen it acts as normal one's,everything is good.
Could any guy tell me the reason of this phenomenon?
Firmware:iPhone OS 3.1.2

You can try the basics from the manual:
Restart, reset, restore.
If this doesn't help then you can take it to the Apple Store, or whomever provides service in your country and they will replace is it is defective.

Serious problem with bluetooth after upgrade to iOS6.1

After upgrading to iOS 6.1 I have found serious problems with bluetooth, now I can not see the other iphone and vice versa.
Someone has the same problem?
Why Apple continues to restrict bluetooth functions?

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. Yes I've checked parameters modification and SPICBOOKING is "well" launched but it produces no results, so I guess there are some other changes in dimension customizing of AccountL or Datasrc....by the moment I'm testing but with no luck. This happens when you are about to go live and decide to upgrade your system....

Serious problem with Ipod touch 4g

Hi.
Sorry form my bad english but i have a serious problem with my Ipod.
Couple days ago my Ipod touch 4g was little bit weted on rain(just couple drops on screen and maybe little bit in headphones and dock connectors) When saw this, i putted Ipod in rice for 72 hours.
After being wet i not try ot tuned on or charge, just stay in rice. After that i try tuned on. but the device isnt'starting.
When putted oncharge, and after 2 hours i pushed sleep and home buttons and he turned on. On the display had a "z" or other name sig-sag symbol,
later i readthis meeans battery is fully discharged and it's need from couple hours to charge. Butwhen i saw this symbol, on the display in upper corner have a little spot(maybe moisture),and putted in rice for other 24 hours. On nextday try to charge and turned on, but this time the ipod isn't turned on. Even can't start recovery or dfu mode.
My question is - did wet and not warking Ipod is normal to be not recognises by pc?- even date recovery programs cant'recognised him.
Also the important is condition on my cabble. Its verry bad condition, and even before weting Ipod,ismaking problmes wih charging.
Its posible problem is cabble?
Pleasa help.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Serious problem with IOS 6

Hello
IOS6 has a serious security problem with locked iphone SIRI code to make calls without first obtaining number lock, if your phone is stolen, call anyone could want. It is a serious problem that should resolve quickly. With any other application that tell you open SIRI, Siri will ask you to put code to call but do not ask.
I hope to be helpful. regards

You cant downgrade sorry. However next I would recommend whats called a DFU restore. You can search the that term and find instructions to perform it. It basically restores the firmware and IOS. Its like a factory fresh reset. Also some peolpe with crazy issues have been able to go to Apple store and have them restore their devices to resolve issues (Perhaps they have some low level way to restore that is not available OR they are doing the DFU)
Anyway I would get a backup and then try that to see if it will resolve your issue.

Thanks Everyone

Hello Krystal,
I would be concerned too if my iPad was not charging. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below (these steps refer to an iPhone, but the steps also are relevant for an iPad):
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
You can find the full article here:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Once you get your iPad running again, follow the steps in the article below if you do not recall your passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Apple should respond to iphone overheat wifi problem!

Now my iphone is having a problem to find any wifi,
searching all around the forum i found out that that is cause by the iphone overheat problem,
after try i noticed it is true that when in a cool environment( they even put iphone in the fridge) my iphone can sometimes find the wifi and can be connected, but it won't last long. After a while the temperature increase, the wifi problem come back again.
Not only me but many people experiencing the same wifi problem like me~ Apple should show some respond to this serious problem~!

I found that I seem to lose my AT&T connection when the iPhone overheats somewhat. Yesterday I couldn't even find any service, but turned off and everything worked well today. I think if I periodically turn the phone off and start over again, the overheating probably diminishes.

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.
