This is why I hate the 4s (Hardware+network+connectivity problems)

hi forum,

bought iphone 2 weeks after officially launched uk. avid apple user, love apple own many apple equipment (see me signature). however, hated iphone 4s because gave me hard times. since bought it, i've been facing many problems it. instance:

1. charging: main issue, , believe hardware problem. when connect chargers iphone, nothing. sure chargers works fine, since regularly try on ipad. have iphone charger, , ipad 1 charger. after connect/disconnect charger 20-50 times, starts charging.

2. dropping phone calls: while i’m on phone call, , after couple of minutes, usual “call failed”. that, phone call dropped

3. losing signal: sometimes, when try call, signal tower disappears; “searching…” , reconnects again. minor problem, still problem.

4. inability make phone calls: frequently, when want call someone, “call failed”. need try call around 10 times connect. otherwise, have disconnect/reconnect network. put in airplane mode few seconds, turn airplane mode off, can reconnect network. note: not face problem other mobile phones, hence problem iphone not carrier.

5. when try send message, fails send, , have click red exclamation mark , resend several times work.

6. when calls others, cannot connect me, make them think close iphone. it’s simple, cannot reach me, , lost basic function of phone: receiving phone calls.

7. siri bug: when tell siri “remind me after 30 minutes”. reminder in same minute said order. example: 5:00pm, tell siri “remind me after 30 minutes”, instead of getting “here’s reminder 5:30pm, “here’s reminder 5:00pm”. also, when set reminder specific time, , time comes, reminder right, , reminder notification, says reminder “19 hours ago”. “reminders” app bug.

8. many times siri not connect, , hear annoying message “i’m sorry this”, although shows me 3g sign. generous here , carrier’s problem, though don’t think is.

9. icloud in iwork apps not accurate. duplicates when sync between icloud.com, ipad, , iphone accounts. minor issue, still issue.

have problem, bought iphone uk, stationed in different country. don’t know do. tried follow instruction on apple.com on returning defect product through online service assistant, can’t specify location in uk, since don’t live there, , can’t choose country, because customer support comes through carriers in here.

not here start hate war. no not android-or-other-crap user; apple user. satisfied on of other belongings, not iphone however. please tell me, else face of these problems me, or one? suggest should do? should talk to?

thank , sorry long thread, frustrated!!
