hi, i have had my verizon iphone 4 since may of this year and i'm having bad reception with my iphone 4 at home, work and at various other places and a unresponsive home button.
i say home because today i was playing around with my sisters iphone 4 that she got a week ago. i noticed that her iphone was connecting to websites quicker than mine and noticed she has 5 bars and i have 2. and everytime i try to load a page on my phone it took more than a few seconds to load but hers loaded quicker and finished loading before mine could.
at my job in the break room and several other parts, i notice that my iphone drops from 3g to "o" frequently. my job also has a verizon tower behind the building so i do not understand why its doing the drop from 3g to 1x. my two co-workers that own iphone 4's for verizon do not have the problem i have between the 3g reverting to "o" frequently. their iphone stays solid at 3g all the time in the break room.
i thought it was verizon network so i thought it was normal but not until i started messing with my sister and my co workers iphone 4's i began to think otherwise.
also my home button is very unresponsive. when i press the home button once. it doesn't respond. its like i have to press it 3 times for the unlock screen to appear and when i close an app i will press the home button. it would randomly bring up the multitasking bar.
i restored my phone and install all the latest updates for the verizon iphone, but the problems are still showing up.
i contacted verizon and they told me its probably a hardware issue and take it into apple (i bought it from my local apple store).
this is my first apple product and never had a replacement before and i'm still under warranty. i have not dropped my phone at all. so the phone is still in good condition. so does apple fix the reception problem and the home button?
thanks
bruce
