I have an iPhone that I bought last week. I unlocked it and everything and I am using it with Tmobile...I am having battery issues, it is draining too quick so I called the apple store and they told me to make an appointment at the genie bar...so my question is, When I take my phone in...should I restore it and just leave it how it came? cause If I do that, how am I going to explain to them the problem? have any of you guys been to the store lately with something similar? I would appreciate any suggestions..
Got a tip for us?

Just restore it and activate it through independence and put the AT&T sim in there and show them that way. Its your only option
But I think if you do that...does the "iphone is still not activated" comes up? or couldnt it be better if I call applecare?
Hey guys....just an update...I just came from the apple store and they did exchange the iPhone for a new one...I just restore the phone and left it how it came from the factory...I just went up to the cashier and told her that I wanted to exchange it cause I was having battery issues "that is draining too quick" she said ok...took the phone to the backroom and came back with a new iPhone wrapped...maybe this help someone that is having battery issues and has the phone unlocked...
How did you determine that it was "draining too quick" ?
(The first couple of charges will only take it to about 70%. )

well I had the phone for exactly one week....I would unplug the phone at 8am and go to work..I'll watch 30min of video, send 3 text message and no phone call...by 1pm the phone already was at 50%...wasnt that bad?
