iPhone 4 Refurbished broke after 40 days! My problem is that I cannot let me phone turn off or sleep too long without it going into recovery mode! It becomes very stubborn to get out and also extremely annoying! Need a permant fix!!

Refurbished iPhones, if purchased from Apple, come with a 90 day warranty.

You still have a warranty so take it back to the Apple store genius bar and have the techs test it and come up with a solution.

Where, exactly, did you buy the phone?

Then you purchased a phone that was most likely refurbished by Vodafone, not Apple. Take it back to Vodafone.

I've checked with Apple. They only give 28Days warranty now :'(

Whoever told you that is wrong. The warranty on a repair or replacement iPhone is still 90 days minimum. Quoting from their Service FAQ:

If defects arise as a result of service, Apple will cover the repair for the remaining term of the iPhone's warranty or 90 days after iPhone service, whichever provides longer coverage for you.

Call Apple Support and discuss your problem with them. If they agree that it's a hardware problem, they can arrange for mail-in service.

Regards.

Then take it back to the Apple Store or call them again. I've heard nothing regarding a policy change. Replacement phones carry a 90 day warranty, or the balance of the original phones warranty, whichever is longer.
