Iphone overheating where sim is

So my phone loses signal just by holding it at the top with fingertips I called to talk to Apple support but the guy was so rude I had to hang up in disgust. Now my phone is getting "burning" hot where the sims card is. I have never removed it so this makes me wonder. A few days ago it said no sim and I restart problem fixed. I am currently doing a restore as a last ditch effort because I was in a call for 10 minutes when my phone started to burn and then read no sim. I let it sit nothing. Eventually I pulled the sim card out and noticed a finger print and rubbed it down with a lint-free cloth put it back in and got 10 more minutes befoe it overheated and said no sim card again. I really hope Apple isn't going to leave me with a flakey device. Less than a week in I think this should qualify for some sort of lemon policy.

I'm thinking that's what I'm going to have to do. With my previous iPhones I have had no complaints with Apple. May be minor but they fedex'd me a new power cord because it was fraid. So I have good faith. =)

    Best regards.

    I'm hoping they figure out a fix for this soon, it's too much to just be a coincidence in my opinion. I hadnt bothered with the update until last week I figured why not update, it'll get rid of the irritating notification badge I had for so long. Sure enough that evening I had my first of probably 2-3 dozen SIM card failures in a week or so. Doing a hard restart will usually temporarily fix the issue but I'm sure I'm not the only person who realizes that this kind of bug could cause serious risks. For anyone trusting a reliable network connection in a life or death situation this is actually a very big problem. I never know when or where my phone will fail on me next. It's about a year and a half old and I haven't had a single issue with network until hours after this latest update. I will be doing my research from now on before updating. This post is more so for someone within Apple, and to support the legitimacy of the others, you should really take these network failure concerns seriously.

  • The Difference between iphone Unlock T-Mobile and iphone Unlock Free-Sim

    As mentiond in the title my questions are:-
    - What is the Difference between iphone Unlock T-Mobile and iphone Unlock Free-Sim?!
    - Did they both work Internationally?!
    - For the Unlock T-Mobile should i use their sim or i can use any sim directly?!
    Thanks

    Unlocked means unlocked and you can use any sim card and keep changing them and the phone will never lock if it is unlocked.
    Sim free, means that the phone is sold at full price without a sim card, but the phone will lock to the first sim card that you put in it.  A sim free phone will work internationally, but you will have to use a roaming plan with your phone company because the phone will be locked, so you CANNOT change it to a local sim card.
    If you have an unlocked phone, you can use it internationally by inserting a local sim card and the phone should then work and you won't have to pay increased roaming charges as you would with a locked phone.
    If you buy a T-Mobile phone that is unlocked, DO NOT activate it with their sim card or the phone will lock to T-Mobile and you will have to approach them to get it unlocked.  Use it with another sim card straight away and it will remain unlocked.

  • How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device?

    How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device? I can get all the Apps and music from one to the other but why won't the emails I delete off one not delete off the other? Is there anyway where I can make this happen?

    As James says, make sure that you are using the IMAP servers for your email. You will need to check the help pages for your email provider to get the correct settings in all your devices. POP really doesn't fit the needs of todays mutiple access, always on internet, so you are better off moving to IMAP.

  • Can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod

    can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod?

    The SIM card is not required to use an iPhone as an iPod or to be used for anything else besides cell phone related services.
    For a no longer activated iPhone, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone in order to install an iOS update and for no other reason.

    how can i import contacts from my regular sim to iphone 5 (nano sim)

    Sync the phone with the regular sim to the appropriate program on your
    computer. When you set up the iPhone 5 in iTunes on that computer, you
    will be offered the chance to import the contacts, etc.
    Or take old phone and new iPhone to your wireless provider. They have the
    equipment to do this quickly.

    Look at your receipt. Does it say unlocked? It is possible to purchase both locked "sim free" and unlocked iPhones from Apple.
    ONLY the carrier an iPhone is locked to can legitimately unlock it.
    IF your receipt says that it was supposed to be unlocked, and it is not, call AppleCare. They should be able to straighten it out.

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • My iPhone just said "SIM failure" and now says Invalid SIM in the upper corner. What's this all about?

    My iPhone just said "SIM failure" and now says Invalid SIM in the upper corner. What's this all about?  Any ideas on how to resolve this.

    Looks like the Sim card had a catastrophic failure. Burnout, short somethng like that.
    You can try to take out the tray and reseat the sim card inside and see if that gets it back.
    Also try resetting the phone at least once by holding down the home and power buttons until the Apple Logo shows up.
    If none of this works you'll have to contact your cell carrier to get a new sim card, as it probably fried and is no longer functional.

    I switched from iphone 4 to iphone 5 - where are my photos?

    Did you have them backed up anywhere? If not, they are most likely still on your iPhone 4. If you back them up to the cloud or to your computer, you could then place them on your new phone if you wanted.
