Any of you use bluetooth earpieces with you 5s? Ever since I have had my iphone 5 i constantly loose my connection and its choppy and in and out. Never had issues with my 4s. It's very annoying. Sadly I will have to burn up a contract to a 5s just for this reason if it solves my problem. I use a wireless earpiece often.

Fingerprint reader is flakey. Other than that, no issues. I had random reboots the first day, but they seem to have disappeared.

Lol never mind. Just rebooted.

My 5s gets warm just from browsing the web and on this forum. Also, when I first took it out of the box and testing out the camera app, it got warm. Is this normal? I'm thinking it might be the OS, but not sure.

Third day with my 5s without any issues. Today it was pausing trying to type into the calender. Then the keys I had pressed would all punch in delayed. I backed out and closed everything running and tried again. It happened again. Also I would open Vine and it would be paused and would have to back out. When this happens and I hit the close button there is no click. All apps seem to be a little paused or delayed. My memory is about half on my 16g nothing running in the background. The first 2 times I powered it down and it went into a cycle of the apple sign a blank screen and full blue screen and repeat over and over. This happened twice and I was finally able to close it by holding down the lock button starting only when the blue screen is showing. I then plugged it in and it restarted and worked fine for a few hours. Now the third time today and I can't get it to start. Just cycles those 3 screens. When I did get it to restart the first couple times it wasn't in recovery mode. It just started. I haven't added any apps or done anything in almost 2 days before this started to happen.
Anyone else?

I had a couple of instances where the phone would reboot but that was only when I first got it. It's been flawless ever since.

However, I have had an "issue" where every so often the screen will light up on its own- no messages or other notifications pop up and I've unlocked the phone and there's nothing needing my attention. It's strange.

Hey guys. I've noticed this the last week or so it is sporadic but would love some feedback to what could be causing this oddity

As I open and close apps I notice what appears to be a cloud in the top left corner of my iPhone and after a few seconds it will disappear. I attached a pic for you guys to check out. ImageUploadedByiMore Forums1381222359.107127.jpg


Thanks again !

Since it's in the screen shot, it's software related.


Thanks again !

The minor nit to pick is that when I let go of the Home button, it loudly clacks as it pops up. My bigger problem is that the glass of the screen is not attached at the top, right corner. Spending about 40 minutes on the phone with Apple 1-800 and then my "local" (about an hour, twenty minutes away) was utterly pointless. The first guy I got was great until their system dropped my call and he didn't call back. The next three would fit right in as below average Sprint reps (that is NOT a good place to be). I don't want to pay for what seems it should be a free replacement (if they mail it - $30 out of my pocket) and, if I choose the drive to a store, they can't even hold a replacement. Maybe the best answer is to just wait a month and then try the store??

Do you have a apple store nearby? Just take it in and they will give you a replacement.
