Why is my phone so terrible?
I am really angry. I just got this brand new iphone a few months ago and it is being absolutly terrible. I several questions I'd like answered.
First, as I was using my iphone, sometimes apps would freeze and close on me. It happened rarely and I didn't worry about it. I thought it was just because they weren't responding, like when a computer closes the internet. But it continued doing this more and more frequently, to all my apps not just internet ones, until most were conpletly unusable. It would crash as soon as you did anything in the app. I know it wasn't memory, I still had half my space left. I literally only have two pages of apps too, most are just the stupid ones you never use but can't delete. So its not like I was over using or working it. I didn't have a single game, or anything really.
We erased all my settings, not data, and it began working ok again. But now a few weeks later its starting to get sluggish and close apps everyonce and a while again. I found a temporary solution, but its ridiculous that my phone can't handle simple settings and usage and build up of data apparently. It can barely do the things its supposed to do.
And now lately, when I charge it, sometimes it vibrates constantly while charging. You would think, "Oh, its just a bad charger or the jack is messed up". No. See the weird thing is, it charges normally while vibrating, AND it only does this when it gets to 75-90% ish. Never lower. ***?
One of the speakers got blown in the first week I had it too. Talk about disappointing. In its defense, I was kind of listening to a loud and harsh song, but really?
I'm pretty sure all my problems are hardware, and not my fault as its newish, still has lots of memory and no cracked screen and little damage externally. I haven't heard of an iphone being this stupid, especially when you first get it like this, so I'm sure its just rotten luck and I got a bad iphone. I will probably just get it replaced, but I want to see if anyone has any answers that might help with my stupid phone.
There is only one speaker at the bottom of the iphone.
Restore the iphone as new
You can try adding an app at a time to see if one of the apps is cousing this.

Why is my phone slow all of a sudden
Why is my phone doing everything slow all of a sudden
Basic troubleshooting:
1) Quit all open Apps: double-click the Home button. Hold one of the apps in the Switcher bar until they begin to wiggle. tap the red minus in the corner of each app until they are all gone.
2) reset your phone: hold botht eh Home and Sleep buttons for about 10 seconds. If the "Slide to turn off" slider appears, ignore it. Keep holding the buttons until the screen goes black, then the Apple logo appears. (note, this will NOT affect any data on your phone, it;s more like a hard reboot) -
I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket. FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423. They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook. Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of something like .mov or mp4. How can I change the extension after the fact and avoid it in the future?
You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.

why wont my phone charge when i plug my usb into my macbook air?
Most USB ports can't supply the power required to charge a phone.
The original USB port was limited to 0.5 amps at 5 volts which is 2.5 watts.
Your phone probably has a 10 watt charger.
Recent machines allow more power from the USB port but I doubt they allow 2 amps which is what would be required to get 10 watts. Even if they did a 2 amp draw is going to be a heavy load on the MBA battery. -

Try This...

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time
why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time? Is there anyway I can change this?
You mean that you're on a single call for 4 hours continously, and then it disconnects?
If so, contact your wireless carrier. That's a cellular connection issue. -
Why does my phone get hot at time's?
It doesn't happen every day, put there are times my phone gets hot even when I'm not using it then the battery drains fast and I have to charge it again. It's not the battery area that gets hot.
There is no damage to my phone. This is the second Samsung Galaxy S5 that I have received. The first one did the same thing, then went dead. I only charge my phone at night when I go to bed and unplug it in the morning. When it does get hot, for some unknown reason, I have to charge it again during the day just to have cell phone access. It doesn't happen on a daily basis. It's just concerning as to why the Samsung Galaxy S5 is doing this. Teffanie M Stark

Why does my phone get hot at time's?
created by Verizon Wireless Customer Support in Android - View the full discussion I know this is not a good experience with your device starky69. Is there any damage to the device? How long have you had the phone? Which phone do you own? Do you keep the phone on the charger at all times when its not being used?

I try to download music I purchased and it won't download. It comes up and says "download error. Tap to retry." Every time I retry it does the same thing. Why is my phone doing this??
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -

Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected? This has been happening since IOS7 was installed and has become worse with 7.1. I have reset the phone several times with no change.The phone charges properly & I have never used anything but an Apple Lightning cable.
I already cleaned the port with compressed air before submitting the problem. I since cleaned it with a toothpick and dug out some more lint. this seems to have just about fixed the problem since I have only had the error pop up 3 times since then and i was getting the error constantly before.
