You should have a factory restored phone once it's done. Book an appointment for the genius bar on the apple website @ the store of your choosing. Show up & explain the problem and you should be out of there with a brand new phone within 5 minutes.
I had the same issue and that's how long it took to get a new replacement. | Or you can just go to Settings --> General --> Reset ---> Erase All Content and Settings and it'll wipe your phone to stock.
I took my jailbroken phone in once for proximity sensor issues. We just tested the calling features and then he told me to do exactly what i said above and then gave me a new one.

^^If you go in on a day that's not really busy, they can make an appointment for you 5-10 min after you speak to them.

The reason doesn't matter nor do they ask. Apple is very lenient about replacing phones and such. They have one of the best customer service out there.
Like I said, I walked in with my jailbroken phone and got it replaced.

I got my iPhone replaced yesterday for the home button issue but the guy I had was a serious prick and hard ass and kept telling me its a software issue. I had to push hard to get my replacement.

hey guys started having an issue with wifi on my iphone 4
it won't connect to my home network, never had this problem before, been using the phone for a good 9 months now
reset my router, reset my phone, nothing works. haven't been able to test if it can connect to other networks though. Sometimes it will connect to my router and I will get the bars at the top of the screen, but still no internet
any suggestions guys??

yep, tried that, still no internet. I can connect to my router though
also found a solution which involves deleting the first DNS address stored on the phone for your network, but that didn't work for me either

i've been having random issues where the "phone" portion of my ip4 is acting crazy....either won't load the phone section, or the screen goes black with weird white/shaded numbering, or freezes up etc
i'm running the original software that came with the phone... 4.2.1
thoughts?

Hey guys. My power button is crapping out and I plan on going to Apple Store to get it replaced.
How do I ensure I'll get a new one and not a refurbished one?

thoughts? | Jailbroken? If not, update to the latest firmware (4.3.5)
If yes, try restarting springboard. If that fails, re-do your jailbreak. If that fails, update to the latest firmware and do an untethered jailbreak.

There is no untethered jailbreak for 4.3.5. The highest version you can update to while maintaining an untethered jailbreak is 4.3.3.

What do you think a brand new Iphone 4 is going to be?
When the 5 comes out? Thinking of getting one for my dad.
(No data, he doesn't even want it.)

when the 4 came out, the 3gs was still pretty expensive, let it ride for about half a year, probably dirt cheap like the 3gs now
