2 reinstalls in 2 days cause the phone froze

I have had my iphone 3g for 4 days now and yesterday and today again I had to make a reinstall of the phone cause nothing else would make it start.
the first time it froze was when I enable flight mode.
the second time was today when I enable 3G (I usually use WIFI), yes I enable 3g and started safari, went to google and hit search and then i froze.
Does any one else have problems with the iphone 3g freezing?

Not only slow backup but the restore took 4 hours and 47minutes and I have 13,75GB FREE space on my iPhone.
I had to restore my iphone today again (3rd time in 5 days) and this happend:
In the app store I had a update for one of my apps and i begin updating when I got a SMS. I read it and clicked reply and then everything froze again. and I had to start all over again but this time I was lucky cause I had a backup of the phone before it happend but it took allmost 5 hours restoring it to the phone.
I called this in today and I get an answer tomorow thay told me...

Try using this tool to search for apps which are compatible with older iPhones:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
I did a search for GPS and founds lots of compatible apps. You might try typing GPS -tomtom to eliminate the tomtom apps.
WhatApp isn't compatible with the older devices, but enter Texting in the search box to find many texting apps which should work.

You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps..
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

Loading the latest OS on my iPhone4 caused the phone to freeze. I get error message 4013 when trying to restore the phone. Any help will be appreciated

Loading the latest OS on my Iphone 4 caused the phone to freeze and stop working. I get error message 4013 when trying to restore the phone.

Did you already try these suggestions?
Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

I am so disgusted with Verizon CS. Six hours over two days on the phone to upgade a phone and my plan. More to come, but I have names, and even a direct phone number to a "supervisor". I'll be posting more... The incompetence of EVERYONE (which is alm

I'll be posting all the details of this tomorrow.

So, I'm back, the OP.
As briefly as i can:
Two phone family, currently one smart, one dumb phone. The dumb is eligible for upgrade.
Call into V and spoke with "Anthony" to get info on what plan(s) I might consider as I upgrade the dump to a new iPhone 6. Currently an old "grandfathered in" Nationwide 700 plan. This was Friday Sept 19. Get some info, which I assumed to be correct, including the fact, his words not mine, that the "upgrade (device) fee" can be negotiable.
Before I had any first hand knowledge, I assumed that I'd better get a "second opinion" so I drove over to my local Verizon (corporate) store. Well, I got a different story, including the percentage of my employee discount on service, my employer gives a 20% discount and has for years, I have my current statement / bill in my hand. But no.... Verizon guy says that is wrong, its only 18%. I ask him about upgrade fee being negotiable. He says no, never. So what had I learned? That V guy on the phone from Friday was either lying or just ignorant.
Soooooo.... now its Tuesday, Sept 23. The "BIG" day, day of 3 hours 50 minutes on the phone with SEVEN different V people, all of them telling me something different about what plan(s) I'm eligible for, your employee discount is 17, no 18, no 20 percent. Yes we can negotiate an upgrade fee, no we can't... At one point, now a couple hrs into it I say I've had enough, I want to talk to a supervisor. "I'm sorry sir, supers can't come to the phone" WHAT? Well later, once I did speak to a first level supervisor and then a second level I of course found out that was wrong - more lies / misinformation? The supervisor took the name of that V CS rep and looked at my every growing call log and said that he would speak to the CS rep.
So, nearing the 3 hrs mark into my attempt to find out about plans and buy an upgraded phone for my plan I reach "Brian". I have his direct number. Apparently he is something more important that the past 6 people I've spoken to over the past thee hrs. I tell him: "EVERY SINGLE PERSON I've spoken to so far has told me something different, and or contradicted what the last person I've spoken to has said!!!!!" Yes you can have 2 single line plans, no you can't, to get this plan your upgrading device has to be on the "Edge" plan, no it doesn't, your employers discount applies to the bottom line, no it doesn't, only to the data, and on, and on, and on.
Sooooooo I tell Brian, "here's how its going to go... YOU are going to wave the upgrade fee. I don't care where the money comes from, V or right out of your pocket. I've been on the phone for now closing in on FOUR HOURS...."
Sooooo he agrees. I laugh and tell him, "You know, it has nothing to do with the money, not its all about screwing V as much as I can, and wasting yours and V's time."
He says, order your phone and plan this week and I'll call you Friday (today Sept 26) and then credit your account the fee.
Soooo yesterday (Sept 25) I call in to do just that, order the phone and plan, WHICH I was told really the only plan that would suit you would be a More Everything Plan. So, ok that's that.
I speak to a CS / Sales rep. I buy the phone and then we go on to the plan. I tell the rep THIS WHOLE LONG STORY, and it looks like we are heading towards the More Everything, BUT she says to me, "you know, you could do that Single Line plan for BOTH of your phones?" I say "WHAT????" I was told by two reps NO, and two reps "Well.... maybe". This plan gets me everything I want AND saves me $10 a mo.
Sooooo we go for that, BUT.... I can't change my plan (from current Nation Wide 700) to 2 two single line plans until I activate my new phone (which will be 4 weeks until I get it - iPhone 6), SOOOOO once it arrives I HAVE TO CALL BACK TO V and switch - how much fun will that be??? MORE time (hours?) with V.
So we agree.... The rep says I just have to transfer you to our automated system where you'll agree to terms and conditions.. Fine. Up comes the computer voice... and.... it says "hello.... you are upgrading your device (123) 555-1234 (it gives a real number), press 1 if this is correct." WHAT???? That is NOT the phone number of my device ***? The auto system gives me the option to press another number to "enter a different number", so I do, AND...... The call disconnects.
Now... If I could track down ANY ONE OF THE PAST 8 PEOPLE I'D SPOKEN TO OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS, YOU'D BE READING ABOUT ME - "Upset customer KILLS everyone at V". I AM SO ******* ****** OFF AT V... I'm now into 2 hrs today, plus the nearly 4 hrs the other day on the phone.
Soooooo.... I call back, have to tell the story again, this time to "Nick" in N.Y. Nick says just go on line to your account, you can accept the terms there. Well, what do you know.... It works, amazing.
But.... Nick says great and reads back the info on the phone I bought and says "...and I see you are on the More Everything Plan..." WHAT, STOP, STOP, STOP. I tell Nick, "Nope, I am not, I never agreed to that, I'm waiting, keeping my old plan for 4 weeks until I get the new phone, THEN I'm to call back (oh joy) to V and upgrade my plan"
Nick say's well you have the More Everything plan, and it is costing you $10 more a month, BUT I can't un-do it because there is a purchase (my phone) in progress... I am not BEYOND MAD. We are now at SIX HOURS TOTAL TIME ON THE ******* PHONE OVER TWO DAYS.
I ask to speak to Nick's supervisor. Melanie comes on the line. I, weather she wants to hear it or not, TELL HER THE ENTIRE STORY, that when (and GOD help him if he doesn't) Brian, the top end supervisor calls on Friday (today) to check on my experience buying the phone / upgrading the plan AND to credit my account the upgrade fee, I'm going to have to tell him about EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED TODAY and about the TWO MORE HOURS ON THE PHONE. Melanie says, yes you do now have a More Everything... All I can do sir is apply a credit back to your account for the difference in cost between your old (what was my current) and the new More Everything (the plan I NEVER agreed to be on).
So, that is where we are as of now, Friday Sept 26 AM. "Brain" said he'd be calling by noon-ish Pacific time. I've got his direct number, and If I don't here from him by noon, his phone will be ringing off the hook very 30 seconds until he picks up.
My experience to simply upgrade one of the two phones on my plan and the plan itself HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. VERIZON is sooo SCREWED UP. NO TWO PEOPLE KNOW THE SAME INFO, and the INEPTITUDE displayed is sickening.

How long are you leaving it on the charger?
Are you connecting it directly to an electrical outlet or trying to charge via USB? USB may not provide enough power to adequately charge the device if the battery is that low.
If none of that helps, then the only option would be a warranty replacement as either the battery or system board is bad.

I purchased 2 large bags of cell phones at a surplus/lost and found auction. The owner of this phone lost it, and didn't pick it up at the lost and found within 90 days and the phone was put up at auction. By law I am the new legal owner of the phone. The person who lost it locked their phone but didn't bother going to look for it. Not my problem. I went to the Apple store with my auction receipt and they said they still can't erase the old owner's account from the phone, and I need their receipt and their permission. There has to be some way around that. I legally purchased it after they lost it and neglected to pick it up within the time frame the law gave them to pick it up. Basically the Apple Store employee told me I was **** out of luck and the phone is basically garbage.

You were correctly informed. You are the new, legal owner of a beautiful paper weight. There is no way around it. This is a security protection to prevent people who steal them from getting value from the stolen item.

Is there a way to turn on the mobile hot spot function for a day from the phone?

I have an unlimited data plan. It costs $30 a month to add the mobile hot spot feature which I only need a day or two a month. I know that it can be turned on and off via Custom Service and that I would only pay for the time it was on at roughly $1.00/day. Unfortunately, going through custom service is time consuming. Ideally I would like an app that lets me turn the mobile hot spot feature on and off from the phone.
There are two components to a mobile hot spot. First you need to active the feature through customer service at which point billing starts and then you need to enable it on the phone. The problem is activating and deactiving the feature.
Is there an app to do this?

FWIW, I'd love to turn off passcodes *permanently* on my five iOS devices running iOS 8.1.
Is this possible anymore?
So far, iOS 8.1 insists (after awhile) that I *must* re-implement a passcode.
(FWIW, with iOS 7 I could turn off passcodes permanently, sending iPads to sales prospects secure in the knowledge they could easily operate the iPad over the course of several weeks, reviewing media devoted to their projects, and not finding themselves locked out.)
Advice much appreciated.

Hello Again Fellow BB Users
Just an update of the issue.
I've read somewhere that i need to reload the OS 5. So i did this and found out that that step actually wiped clean all settings and data. Thank God i backed up the phone a couple of days before. After restoring data, the phone worked well through out the whole day.
Before goinf to sleep that night, i connected the pohone to the charger and switched on my night mode and went to bed. In the morning, i get this white screen saying "JVM error 102" and a reset option. I did the reset, and it went back to the white screen. I did a battery pull, it went back to the white screen. everything i did went back to white screen.
I had to downgrade back to OS 4.6 and restore my data again. now the phone's working fine.
I love the feel of OS 5 and would still like to use it, but it makes my phone go wonky. Is there any updates or patch for it? Looks like i would have to wait before upgrading my device software. Anyone here can answer??

Micro scratches on the back of the phone? My first day with the phone and have scratches

So I picked up a Z3 at T mobile this morning. After reading online about the phone I must say I am happy so far ..besides one thing. A huge bummer at that!
All the marketing info says the back glass is scratch resistant. I have no idea how but at the end of day one I have mutiple micro scratches on the back glass. T movile only sells the black phone and they are noticable with the right angle. I can imagine on the white or copper it would be less noticable. Anyways ..Is this problem other users have had? I never used cases with my phone and have never had problmes with scratches. At this point I'm considering a case if I can find one I like and going to look for protector for the back.
I have no idea how I could of made the small scratches. I put my pone in a empty pocket. And have not dropped it. I used it on table at work durning lunch. Flat surface. Maybe.. maybe it had suger or slat particles on it. . but nothing noticable. I love this phone it's very attractive and I like the hardware. I just can believe it could be so fragile.

What circumstances cause the phone to prompt user to select from multiple output sources during a call?

I have frequently seen a screen appear that asks if I wasn't to use my acuras "HandsFreeLink" to handle a call or use the phone (and I think it gives one other option but I can't recall what that is). For some reason, my phone is defaulting to handling all the calls using the phone and will not route the call through the cars Bluetooth link so I can hear it through the cars sound system.

Well, the phone has to be connected via Bluetooth first. If it is connected, and you initiate the call from the phone, it should default to the bluetooth device. If it does not, then there should be a selection on the phone screen labeled "audio devices". This allows you to select how you want to handle the phone call audio. Your bluetooth device should be one of the selections.

HT1212 Typing Chinese in Safari causes the phone crash

It happens a few times. I don't know what is wrong with it.
It happens after I update to iOS 7.1.

try this
RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

Do as it suggests and restore the device.

Why is it, after all the years with this service, my wife can't get service, send a text without a long delay from the high school she works at 4 miles away??? The phone works great in the middle of corn fields but in the dead center of town, at the high

I have been with Verizon since they started in Peoria, IL and yet to this day I don't understand why when my wife goes to work at a high school, dead in the middle of town, she has no service, can't send a text without a huge delay and can't receive phone calls? I can be out of Peoria in the middle of a corn field and I get calls without a problem, yet but within the city no service at Peoria High School or very limited. This causes the phone to drop from LTE and then eats the battery.

Service isn't guaranteed inside of buildings especially buildings filled with steel, concrete and electrical wiring. High School buildings definitely have all three.
