[Joell]

why has this thread been silent for the past month now
have people learned to live with these issues
so i took two iphones with these issues(no audio on calls) to apple and their explanation was that it might be issues with my network provider

I have I phone 4. I've been having echoing problems. I went to Verizon and they said that it was a hardware problem and that the phone needed to be replaced. Well, I made an appointment with the genius bar and when I told the lady what Verizon had said. She told me that I was a software problem. Then she gave me directions how to restore my iPhone as new and I still have the same problems. I don't think that I will be getting iPhone 5. The lady at the genius bar also mention that a lot of people come in complaining about their iPhone due to buying them from a friend or on eBay or from ATT. She stated that they really don't know where ATT gets their iPhone from. I just thought to myself that is a really weird statement to make. I do have apple care. I think that apple just doesn't want to replace my phone.
