Sounds like the lock button is bad/going bad. Not all too uncommon... but a pain at the same time.

iphone reviews in India

Apple iphone reviews says it is a good device but not the best one, online reviews witnessed a huge craze among the tech savvy customers.

Iphone seems to have around thousands of people doing free lancing and social media optimization at various websites like forums, answers, networking sites and bookmarking sites etc. But do anyone have the answers for the following facts:

1-Basically it is a good wireless network supported device and not a smartphone
2-Extremely high price
3-Poor battery performance
4-No oulets or showrooms even at Tier -1 cities
5-Battery takes too much time to revitalize
6-Poor camera compared to price
7-Only 4-5 popular apps
8-Siri doesnot support Indian languages, it is just limited to a continent's accent.
9-I travel regularly and due to network problem this becomes a cheap handset for me.i can't do anything
10-It lacks ms office but still claims to be a official phone. Huh

the most important thing is any online query on-site is addressed lately by 15 days or even more. whenever any problem is shared it says we are working on that and there after no reply. Its really bad to talk on this but i have to tell this.

Really?!? This has absolutely nothing to do w/ the OP's inquisition.

hi there,thanks for your quick reply ,should she return the phone to the seller or can it be fixed,what would you do,many thanks, tim

Well Tim... considering it's a 4+ year old phone, it's not a surprise that something doesn't work on it. I'm not certain how easy the 1st gens are to work on... but if i't s not an issue returning it to the seller then I'd prolly go ahead w/ that.

I agree, with that much use over time, it's not surprising that the button isn't working properly as it's probably worn out. I'd would also try and return it if possible.
