iPhone 4G Problems

Since a majority of technology enthusiasts were waiting for the Apple iPhone 4 to be launched, this advanced device was the most awaited handheld gadget in 2010. Some believe that the iPhone 4 was released way too sooner than it should have actually been. This is due to the very recent release of the iPhone 3GS which was just setting out in the mobile phone market. The iPhone 4 does have some upgraded technologies and features than its predecessor; such as a front camera for video calling, a new sleek design, 5 megapixel main camera, LED flash function, high-resolution Retina display, etc. As every electronic gizmo does come with some issues, the iPhone 4 is not an exception. There are users who are facing problems since they have bought this device.

Apple iPhone 4 Problems and Fixes

Weak Signal
This is probably the worst problem which users are experiencing. The antenna problems are proving to be a turn off for potential iPhone buyers. Apple Computers has incorporated a new signal antenna concept in the body of this model. The antenna is believed to be the steel bands at the sides. Some think that the antenna is on the lower left side of the phone. And if that part is covered with the hand while calling, the signal tends to drop significantly. This problem is logically faced by left hand users, as their hand covers the lower left side of the device. Surprisingly, to get rid of this problem, Steve Jobs has suggested to users that they should hold the phone in a way which does not cover the antenna. Apple has also claimed that the signal reception problem can be taken care of with using a silicon bumper case. You can also try changing how you hold the phone while calling, to solve this problem.

Yellow Spots or Lines on the Screen
Apart from the above mentioned problem, there are other issues as well that are bothering users. Users have experienced yellow spots, lines, or areas on the screen. People consider this to be a problem associated with the much talked about high-resolution Retina display. Some users have reported that this issue fades away after using the device few days.

Volume Control on the Buttons
In some models released, there is somewhat a weird type of mess up done probably during the manufacturing process. Users have complained that the volume buttons on the device come with switched functions. This means that if the '+' button is pressed, the volume decreases and vice versa. Some expert reviewers from the cell phone industry believe that this has been done to prevent hearing loss with high sound volume. If it was for the matter of hearing loss, why just few models? The best remedy in this case is replacement.

These are just three of the major problems. There are other issues as well such as the screen and back glass being more likely to get scratched easily. You can solve this problem by putting a scratch guard and a cover on the gadget. Some have even experienced improper rear camera functioning and white balance not working. Considering the iPhone 4 problems, many prospective buyers are deciding to purchase the iPhone 3GS instead of the 4G variant. If you find any of these problems persistent even after troubleshooting them, you can opt for a refund. For more details it is recommended to get in touch with the manufacturer via mail or phone.
