    Is there a problem that you are experiencing or an error message you are getting?

    Actually there is no error or problem being experienced. Just got this phone recently and curious to know if i am being cheated or not. Kindly advise.

    Well - you can check for physical damage by looking closely at the device

    As long as it is running well and you can do the basic functions with it - I would say that it is ok

    There is no "operating test" that you can run at the user level that will give you a check of the software per se

    Thank you. I only found few problems like slight vibration (not a shock) while phone is getting charged and if I use it for 5 minutes or so continuously then it gets heated. I am not sure if this is normal. Kindly advise.

    Not many I know use the phone without a cover of some sort - so not sure about the slight vibration while charging - but the slight warmth with use is normal - again a cover should help

    Thank you. I believe slight vibration while charging could be due to aluminium body or earthing problem.

     

    Also is there a way to find out if the phone is genuine? What I mean to ask is how do I check if the phone is not stolen by somebody and it has not passed through many users before being sold to me? This will help in returning the phone back to the user who sold me if it is a stolen one (that can land me in problem in any future date). I searched and found that the phone is an international purchase and the warranty is already expired. You views please.

    Hi ManSinha,

     

    What would be your opinion or view on this in such situation?

    Your constant back and forth leads me to believe that you're trolling.  Regardless, the "vibration" is caused by the power adapter.  With other products, this can be solved by using the 3-prong power cord plugged into a properly-grounded AC outlet.  The iPhone power adapter does not have a ground and, therefore, the problem can not be alleviated.  If the problem is sufficiently distracting, you should either unplug the iPhone while you are using it, or wear rubber gloves.
