One more thing. I think Apple is trying to hard an needs to stick to what they do best.

It happens to my phone 2

[evolasme]

Only issue i had was when i first got it and restored from Itunes from my 3.1.3 set up on my 3GS... the carrier logo stayed the same with my custom setting and.. i could not get the internet to work on 3g or edge.. So restored as a new phone and since then have had no issues what so ever..

not even signal problems or prox sensor issues... i will say this auto dim suxs balls so i just turned it off..

I don't doubt there are bugs still.. i mean what new OS and or hardware these days dosent....

its the price you pay sometimes being first...

ill deal and just watch a good thing get better

hey guys this may take care of the problem. Report back if it does. Go to settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings.. See if that helps, think it has worked for others

Dam so they should be giving the bumper case away for free to every iPhone 4 purchase just to make up for their incompetence.

i don't have any of the now "usual" problems, but i do have a dead pixel, going to the local apple store right after work to go get a new phone...

[LuckyLuke71]

Same here.. It still works and even putting my finger over it turns off the display around an inch above. Problem is that there is something definitely different on the new iphone 4. My face hits the mute or number keys a lot. this never happened on the other 5 iphones i have had.

[CByrdie]

It's funny this came up, because when I 1st got my phone I was resting it on my shoulder and my face while I was doing other things and I ended a call but I figured it just wasnt close enough to my face and thats what happened. Then I was doing the same thing and I activated a face time call! this is probably my problem

I am hoping that the next batch that are being sold on the 29th are better with less problems.

[Bluprint]

OHHHHH WOW THIS IS HILARIOUS. This phone keeps getting better by the day!!!! i love hearing those who do crazy configurations and adjustments to get this thing working properly hahaha never that, i would just throw that pz of crap against the wall or something. Next thing you know, apple is going to sell you a bumper for the front too.

[eastpointvet]

actually if you tell applecare you are having the problem they will ship you a bumper free i just got an order for one

@Panayiotisn: Thats cause we are obsessed ignorant iPhone lovers forcing Apple to release a new phone every year and publish stolen prototypes forcing them to speed up production and release dates in order to minimize losses on previous models.

To all those people who fueled the Fire, you are at fault, now your burning.
Congrats

Apple release a new handset every year because it sells to existing iphone users, I reckon 80% of iphone 4 buyers will be upgrading from a previous version - they deliberately hold back features to ensure maximum sales on the next release.

Anyone else wondering why white iphone 4 is not available yet, worldwide shortage of white paint maybe? More like check out the all new iphone 4 in white this fall, now with 64gb storage and a working proximmity sensor.

Robin Hood at least had the decency to give his spoils to the poor.

i think it's just because people restore it from their old iPhone backups...
when i went from my 2G to 3GS i also had random problems when i restored from the old backup but a fresh restore with setting it up as a new phone fixed everything :P

I'm looking at software issues. Sometimes my screen is really bright at night in low lighting the it will just for no reason dim to almost un seeable. As for the antenna that is a hardware issue but the other stuff software. The i4 hardware is solid but the software is making the i4 look bad. I'm sure our battery issue is to do with software not reading the battery correct. Even thou the battery shows low I'm still getting tons more mileage on a single charge.

I have the battery issue as well....I am already at 71% with an hour of moderate usage and 7 hours of standby time. I am going to the Apple Store tomorrow to talk to see if my friend can figure out the problem.

[hacktarded1]

No issues here at all. I have no yellow screen, no battery issues, no reception issues, no proximity sensor issues. My phone is working perfectly and I'm loving it!!!

I'm really sorry to hear so many people are having issues, I went through that with my iPad and wifi issues, the good news was that Apple was VERY good about replacing it until I had a fully working unit.

If you're super pissed, just return it and ask for a refund. Otherwise try to be patient till they work all these issues out. Apple has really good customer service in general, I'm sure they will ,ake this right for everyone eventually.

[Clem-Clone]

Anyone out there seeing this?

yes, friend of mine called me just a bit ago, and he kept hitting the keypad. Very loud and annoying.

[XFaega]

Hey hacktarded1, on your battery life how long does it take for your i4 battery to drop down to 85% and what do you do? Thanks

[MetallicaFan1991]

An estimated 65% of Americans are overweight.

Just say'n.

Lol random...?

I'm surprised all the Apple fanboys aka mods aren't posting often on these "issues with iPhone 4" problem, I guess they're in denial...

I doubt the iPhone 4 is having all these issues tbh. What about battery life? I don't see it being any better than the 3GS, this is going of the battery specs from Apple's website.

[Lprox5]

Why would three respected journalists claim incredible iPhone battery life when it’s simply not the truth.

Found this article posted today about other people having the same battery issues.
