    My 4 started to have this issue just before I upgraded, it was 3.5 years old though. No issues with the 5s

    I had my iphone 5 replaced about 4 weeks ago for a different type of fault.
    Seems to be working fine and dandy right now.

    My iPhone 4S developed this problem so binned it in a draw and bought a Galaxy S5

    Shame they won't fix my 4S for free!

    That was my very close second choice Arthur but the Galaxy S5's IP68 Waterproof rating swung it for me.

    The HTC looks & feels just that nicer though!

    I quite fancy an iPhone to go with my MacBook Pro and iPad, BUT Apple still have a way to go IMO, I have apps like CCTV stuff, WiFi RF signal scanners and other odd ball stuff that just don't run on the iPhone, shame...but I can live with the Mighty HTC One....lol
