Email issues on iPhone 3GS after OS4 update

Hi,
I updated my firmware to OS4 yesterday, and my email has been on the blink since then.
Basically, whenever I check my email, I get stuck on the "Connecting..." display forever. The phone never checks my mailboxes, it's just eternally "Connecting..."
The only way I've gotten around this is by turning off the phone, then turning it back on. Once I do that, the phone collects the mail - but only ONCE. After that, it goes back on the endless "Connecting..." loop.
What's the problem? I never had this issue with the last firmware. Just as of yesterday. I have three email accounts on my iPhone - but like I said, the old firmware handled all of them without issue.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

I had two users that were unable to get email from Microsoft Exchange 2003 on their iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4. One other user, however, had no problems after the upgrade. The only difference was that the user with his email functioning had minimal messages in his Inbox.
So for the two other users, I archived email messages to reduce their Inboxes from around 13,000 messages to below 2,500 messages. Once I did this, email started flowing through just fine. I did this to the Sent Items as well, and it worked too. I would give that a try.

  • Photo issue on iPhone 4 after iOS5 update

    Since i have updated my White iPhone 4 to iOS5 some of my apps pictures dont appear just the text underneath them. I thought nothing of this at first as after a while they do appear but then others will dissapear!
    I tried to use the camera and i can take pictures but if i try to load the camera roll from either the camera app or photos app it will not allow me to view them. In the camera app the photos are also black.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated!
    Thanks
    Steve

    I´ve got the exact same problem as well. Via photo stream I can get my pictures to my computer and my iPad and they look fine. And in the iPhone they look ok if I choose "Edit", but the previews are low res or just grey boxes, or duplicates of other images.
    Via photo stream I can copy the images to my computer to save them. But since movies don´t go into photo stream, and I cant see anything on my Iphone via iPhoto or "Image capture" they will be lost if Apple doesn´t solve this problem (I´ve succeded to e-mail them to me, but then they are compressed and lores).
    This happened to me a couple of days after I updated to iOS5, so it worked just fine for a couple of days before this problem appeared.
    I really hope Apple will address this issue very soon, since I (and many with me) use my iPhone as my only camera.
    I´ve got an iPhone 4 (my wifes iPhone 3GS has not yet shown any signs of this problem).

    Is there a sim in the iPhone?
    Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
    than the original wireless provider?
    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
    Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • Itunes doesnt recognise my iphone 3gs after IOS5 update

    Itunes will not active my iPhone 3GS, all this since updated to IOS5, had to restore factory settings and tried re-installing itunes but still doesn't locate the phone

    When did you upgrade to 4.1? 4.1 is no longer signed by Apple. It's no longer possible to (legitimately) install 4.1.

  • No songs on iphone 3gs after ios4 update

    I have just gone to shuffle my songs on my iphone 3gs, but the songs tab of my ipod is telling me there are no songs. I go to the album tab and all of my albums are there and I can still play the songs...
    Slightly weird and annoying... anyone else experienced this?

    I had the same fault after I did the upgrade. I just reconnected and forced a re-sync in itunes.

  • IPhone 3Gs after iOS4 update

    I had no trouble updating to iOS4 which is great and I love but the only problem I'm having is my battery life. It doesn't seem to last long anymore. Given I am on my phone a little more frequent after the update but it just seems to be draining my battery a lot faster. I turned on and off my phone/ I restarted it by pressing the home and sleep button at the same time but so far It hasn't shown any improvement. Any ideas on what I could do if anything?

    I had the same fault after I did the upgrade. I just reconnected and forced a re-sync in itunes.

  • Email issues on Pantch Breakout after OS update

    I just purchased a Pantech Breakout.  I had set up my e-mail accounts (gmail, hotmail, and yahoo) and everything was replicating fine.  The OS updated and suddenly replication stopped.  I tried deleting the accounts and re-adding them, but on re-add, they no longer sync.  When trying to connect, it sits and "spins".  Yes - the username and password entered is correct.
    Since I just bought it, I am still in the period of return - although I'd rather not have to pay money to return a non-working device.  But if I can't get e-mail on my smart phone, what's the point.
    Any help out there?  I'm giving it one more day before I go back to Verizon and ask for my money back for a defective device.

    Hello djo1300
    That's not supposed to happen with the email. Let's work together and get this fixed. You shouldn't have to pay any money to return a defective device. I'm sure we can get this addressed for you.
    Is background data and sync checked? To check this go to: Menu> Setting> Accounts & Sync> then check background data. From that screen please tap on each email account and make sure sync is checked then retest.
    Are you able to use the browser on the device? Is Wifi turned on? If so please turn Wifi off and retest. Please remove the battery and sim card for 15 seconds, reinsert and power on the device. Does the email sync now?
    Did this start after a particular application was downloaded? If so please remove and retest. Please back up the device with gmail and perform a hard reset. Here's a link for the reset: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=45472
    Please let me know if this helps, if not I would be glad to further troubleshoot with you.
    Thank you

  • My inlaws can't open a video I emailed from my iphone 3GS.  They updated their Quicktime player.  What could be wrong?

    They use Windows.  Not sure which version.

    I would tell them to try VLC media player
    or ask the question in the quicktime forum

  • I am unable to activate my iphone 3gs after updating ios 6.1.3

    i am unable to activate my iphone 3gs after updating ios 6.1.3?

    The activation servers were down for a bit yesterday.
    Try again.
    A SIM is required for activation. If problems continue, the two most common activation issues are the result of a hacked or jailbroken device.

  • HT6146 Doed this update also address the GPS issues on iPhone 3GS?

    With IOS6.X (and all other 3GS users) I lost the FULL GPS function I had when I purchased my iPhone 3GS (I assume its behaviour is like an iPod touch now), I was wondering if Apple have included a fix with this update?

    I had two users that were unable to get email from Microsoft Exchange 2003 on their iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4. One other user, however, had no problems after the upgrade. The only difference was that the user with his email functioning had minimal messages in his Inbox.
    So for the two other users, I archived email messages to reduce their Inboxes from around 13,000 messages to below 2,500 messages. Once I did this, email started flowing through just fine. I did this to the Sent Items as well, and it worked too. I would give that a try.
