hey guy's just got this 5 on Sunday and already had to get it replace.
it was getting hot, ringtone sound was low could barely hear it, noise cancelling mic didn't seen to be working either
(but I suspect it was just the wife telling to turn done the radio :) )
the question should i reinstall a back up and if so how can i choose which one I want to install. or just install as a new phone re load apps. one at a time.
do this phone get hot has anyone had that to happen, low volume.

If you made a backup on iCloud or on iTunes, just go ahead an re-install it.
If you have either, iCloud or iTunes will show you when that latest backup
was.

My phone will heat up on occasion. If it get really hot it's because it's in an
already hot environment. Low volume haven't really experienced. Of course
you want to make sure your ringer and alert volumes are set to where you
want them at.

I need to get a replacement tomorrow after about 7 months. Having the issue where my sleep/wake button is starting to fail. It's only working (though you hear it click) on one side.

Pretty common issue...I also had to do the same.

As far as the OP's heat issue...unless you're really pushing the processor, you should not have a heat "issue".

My phone tends to get hot but only when in use and while I have it charging at the same time. When does your phone get hot? Is it while in use?

You lost me there for a second...lol....In the future, use the "Reply With Quote" option so we can know who or what you're specifically replying to...:). In regard to see your last iTunes backup, see the attached screenshot.

I understand. Do you sync with iCloud? If so, log on to the iCloud website, select the Contacts app and verify that the new contacts are present. Also, verify your calendar and reminder information. If all is well, delete iCloud from your i-device and then reconfigure it for iCloud. The data you verified should sync back to your device.

If your contacts are synced to iCloud, simply turn off Contacts for Gmail in the Settings menu or when you select the Contacts app on your device, select "Groups" in the upper left corner and then uncheck the ones for Google/Gmail.

I hear you, but hey, if you're getting it all squared away, that's the main thing.
