iPhone 4 can be called as one of the most popular smartphones ever released. Even after two years of release and two successors, Apple is successfully selling so many iPhone 4 units around the world. Today we will be discussing some of the very common problems that various users have faced while using this amazing handset.
The Death Grip:
First of all we have the most popular issue faced by the iPhone 4 users, the death grip. Well, this problem was reported by users immediately after the launch of the handset, of course Apple fixed the issue in the next batches but the initial ones really had this problem and you might be one of those users who are facing this issue.
According to the reports, when you hold the iPhone like shown in the image above, the cellular signals will drop to nothing. Now, to solve this issue, all you need to do is spend $30 to get a bumper case that will solve this issue or you can just try to avoid holding the handset like that.
Yellow Discoloration:
Some users have complained that their iPhone 4 unit had some issues with its amazing Retina display screen. If you are facing an issue in which your display screen has turned yellow, at the edges of the screen in shape of bands or blotches, you might have the same issue. Now, most of those users have confirmed that this issue faded away in a few days so you should wait a couple of days before taking it to the repair shop.
Scratches and Cracks on Back Glass:
Well, when Apple released the handset, they claimed that the glass on the back of the device is very powerful and better than plastic. But in reality, the glass is pretty vulnerable and if you drop your device somehow, the glass will shatter or crack which can be pretty heart wrenching.
This is the problem faced by almost every other iPhone 4 user. The solution to this problem is very easy, we suggest you to get a back cover made of silicon or whatever and also to ensure further protection get an invisible protector on the front as well.
Reversed Functioning Volume Keys:
Well, its not that common issue right now but more than few new iPhone 4 owners have reported that their unit came with an issue that caused the + volume key to reduce the sound while – volume key increased.
Well, it’s not any technical fault in the handset, actually the volume buttons are swapped or labeled wrongly. It is not that common issue but still you can replace the handset or just go with it as it is.
