I have looked over the forums and see people having various issues similar to mine, but I don't seem to find anyone who has all of the problems I am having. Can someone tell me if this is software related issues or if the problems I am having are possibly due to a faulty iPhone. I am going to an apple store today, so if I need to exchange it now is the time to do it.

- Poor battery life: I recently drove from Nashville to Atlanta, a 3 hour drive. When I left, the battery was at 100% because I took it off the charger. When I arrived in Atlanta I had already received the 20% battery life warning. I took three phone calls totaling about 20 minutes of total talk time during the drive and checked my mail a couple of times while driving. Additionally, I can't seem to get through one day with a full charge.
- Screen disabled during phone calls: During a phone call, I cannot use the iPhone until the other person hangs up. Once I start talking, if I pull the phone away from my face the screen turns off. If I put it back close to my face, the screen turns back on. The only way to use the iPhone again is to hang up by pressing the power button and wait about 10 seconds.
- Location services do not work: The only time I can get location services -- GPS, or otherwise -- to work from any app is to reboot the phone. Once I do that, location services work for a couple of hours before I have to do it again.
- Alarms do not work: I have a daily alarm set that wakes me up, but it never goes off. It is turned on and the time and days are set correctly, but it does not alarm in the mornings. If I set another alarm, they work on some days and not others -- it seems to be random when the alarms work.
- Unable to answer calls: Approx 50% of the time, if I am listening to something on the iPod and the phone rings, the iPod fades away and I am presented with the ability to answer it. Half of the time, however, the song fades away and the phone locks up until the call is divereted to voicemail. Nothing I do allows me to answer the call. When the call is missed, the music then does not return -- I have to go and hit play again.
- Caller unable to hear me: About 30% of calls I make outbound I have to hang up and call back before the person can hear me. I can hear them, but they cannot hear me. This happens with and without a headset.
- iPod gets confused: Occasionally, I will hit play and the iPod will say it's playing but nothing happens. If I hit pause and play a couple more times, the song or podcast finally begins.
