One bit of perspective: I had Windows phone(s) on at&t starting last Thanksgiving. You should have seen the 'issues' posts for those phones. This thread, in comparison, is pretty tame. Best part is the number of times the problem is solved with "Apple took care of it...they were great." You can be sure that those sentiments were never expressed as "HTC took care of it" or "Samsung took care of it."

To be fair, any fixes that HTC/Sammy made had to go through carrier approval. Apple just pushes fixes whenever it wants.

Is anyone having MMS issues. My iPhone 5 will not send or receive MMS. My initial thought was AT&T service, but I've tried on LTE and AT&T "4G" & WiFi, but none work. I made sure I had MMS messaging turned on in the settings. I've even tried resetting network settings...

For some reason sometimes my phone lights up / unlocks for no reason? Anyone else experiencing this? I'm going to reset it and see if that helps anything.

you mean it will not go back to wifi after it has been asleep? It actually turns wifi off? Are you kidding me. You say thats the way iOS works. Has the 4 and 4s been that way also? If it has why has all matter of hell not been raised about that. I mean when I'm at home I want wifi to save data and I be Damned if I want to have to bother with turning it back on. I was going to get a iPhone 5 in November but with all this going on I think I will look at a windows phone if I even do that. Heck I think I will keep my galaxy s3 with it weak wifi reception. Seems like the one with the least amount of problems right now.

When data needs to be saved - as in backup to iCloud - or synced automatically your iPhone will do all by itself, don't worry. It turns off Wifi when sleeping in order to save battery, that's all. It has notications just like any other phone, you're not cut out from the rest of the planet. You should perhaps read other threads outside this one, not everything is black... and slate!

I saw lines on my keyboard too, It did it when I was typing in my password to download a app.

I have seen the same thing. Someone else described it as the video from the ring. Only happened once and have not seen it again.

I noticed that on mine as well especially with the lower part of the keyboard.

I have noticed the screen isn't as responsive on the top right and some times on the bottom as well. Don't know if this is a software or hard ware issue.

I think I'm just really lucky - I've had zero issues. I did notice one tiny ding on my phone when I took it out of the box, but I've since slapped a screen protector and modest case from Verizon. Looks awesome.. huge upgrade from my AT&T 4. Verizon is amaze.

I have very annoying problem, but I'm not sure of it is the problem with the phone or its caused by "unbelievable" Sprint network. When I check my Internet speed with Speedtest.net app very often I can see that there is incoming traffic but no outgoing. The upload speed measuring gets stuck at 0%. If I turn the data off and on again, it starts working. Also it may start working by itself after a while. And when the upload speed is not showing I can't use some apps, like weather for example. Also I have major problems with iMessage. Very often I get the message that my message was not delivered. Even when i send from iMessage to iMessage. Again, I'm on Sprint and their 3G really sucks.

Try a restore and set up as new if that don't fix then its the phone and a hardware issue

Currently I'm having issues accessing new voicemails. It notifies me that there is a new one yet it doesn't show up in visual voicemail.

Also I do agree this keyboard isn't nearly as good as the one on my iPhone 4 running 5.1.1.

I'm having higher sensitivity to the screen than with my 4S. I've also noticed that it is taking way longer than expected to restore from a backup with the lightning cable- our internet in our area is slow so no fast wifi speeds for us.

How fast is your Internet speed ?
