Best generation of iOS for 3GS iPhone?

We have a 3GS iPhone, what would be the best generation of iOS for this iPhone?

Best is relative to what users want/need from the device.
Frankly the question is irrelevant as the only version that can be installed/upgraded to is the current version which is 6.1.3.

HT4623 Recently I want to upgrade the IOS for my iphone 4 with my friend's help. Unfortunately, we are unable to do it. Don't understand why?

Recently I wanted to upgrade the IOS for my iphone 4 following the guidelines closely with my friend's help. Unfortunately, we are unable to do so. I felt disappointed as I am looking forward to installing Apps, WeChat, Whats App, etc. I have bought it 2 years ago. I have read the FAQ, mine is the same as many other complaints as in the Settings-General, no "Software Update" appear but we have follow step by step but failed to do so.
My friend suggested me to visit Apple Store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I just wonder if this problem can be solved. Kindly advise.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards/Michelle Gee

You are following the wrong guidelines. The Software Update option was not introduced until a later version. You need to connect to iTunes to update if you currently have iOS 4 or earlier.

Delete and re-download the Dropbox app. You will have to sign in again and adjust app settings.

Manual download of iOS for different iPhones

My company has different iPhones (3G, 3GS and 4)
Is there a way I can download iOS directly from apple without going through iTunes? That way, I can download the files for different iPhones (3 times ... once for 3G once for 3GS and once for 4G but on one computer) then distribute them to the users profile accordingly.
Right now, I have been connecting different iPhones via iTunes to download iOS manually (3 times ... once for 3G once for 3GS and once for 4G from 3 different computers) then move the ipsw to other users profile.
Thanks

HT4623 Want to update IOS for 3g iphone

Hi
I believe I can update the IOS on my 3G iphone so that I can download various apps.
However when I go into Settings/General there is no Software Update listed, in the User Guide this is shown between About and Usage.
I downloaded an app which said could be used on 3g but won't download.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Many thanks
P.S. Current software is listed as 4.2.1?
P.P.S. Also how do you use Itunes to download and install updates - it doesn't do this automatically

The Software Update option was not introduced until iOS 5. On older versions, updates must be done through iTunes. However, the latest version for the iPhone 3G is iOS 4.2.1, so you cannot update.

This is not the appropriate forum for this. You need to go to a product review website. Once you've chosen a headset, if you have problems using it with your phone then please don't hesitate to write back.

Just downloaded the new IOS for my Iphone 3gs and now i cant get connected to the network. It only states "searching". How do i fix this?

I downloaded the new IOS last week and my phone can no longer find the network it only states "searching" How do I fix this for the 3gs?

If you have important files that haven't been backup then you can try this by holding down power and home till it restarts and release when you see apple logo.
If you have nothing to lose, you can do a fresh restore by holding down power and home for 10 seconds and after 10 seconds release power but keep holding home till iTunes recognize it is in recovery mode and restore iphone.

Wrongly updated the newest iOS for my iphone 3GS

As I pluged my iPhone 3GS into a new laptop, I wrongly updated the newest iOS version into my phone. This causes a few content loses and the phone runs very slowly. How can I restore/recover the right iOS at my 3GS? Thanks a lot.

Downgrading is not supported, so that is out of question.
About the lost contents. Plug your iPhone in to iTunes of your previous laptop (if you still have it); right click on your phone's name and hit "Restore from backup". Later you can move your iTunes library from your old laptop to your new laptop by following this.

Best course of action for lost iPhone

Hi
Can any one advise the best security strategy when you loose an iPhone 3GS.
I have it password protected and the data on it is of my prime concern.
It seems that if II wipe it I can no longer send messages or attempt to locate it.
Also if someone finds it and immediately takes the sim card out does it mean none of the remote security functions will work.
It seems that the best thing to do is immediately wipe it upon finding that its missing else the opportunity to do this in the future will not be possible.
if you later find it and its wiped what options do you have ?
Any advice ?

I lost my phone last year. It was on O2, here the steps I did (it workd for me or perhaps I was lucky):
1- report to police. got a report. call O2 immediately to block the phone.
2- took report and called O2, who blocked the sim card/phone and black listed the IMEI phone. In the UK it is a brick. o2, vodaphone, orange and T mobile share the same database for blacklisted phones. they also kept my phone number and gave me a new sim card with the same number.
It is a crime in the UK to unlock a blacklisted phone (if they can).
thief tried to activate with as many sims as he can (there is a password so he can just do a hard reset. However all my data are on sd card which is encrypted yet with another password 256 bit encryption), meanwhile the phone was sending data to the operators (he tried orange and O2 and T-Mobile). Fat chance.
He tried to unlock it with a street vendor, street vendor found out (here i was lucky) it is blacklisted, called the police. Thief caught and I got the phone
But by that time I got the Iphone (was great excuse to spend the money

This scewed up my US iTunes account as well as apps store. . . so ican no longer acces it or download updates. . . it crerated more havoc that ican bare as in iTunes being located in France and in Euros. OUCH. i thought to restore iPhone to factory default. Will that do it or create more problem. (don't want to wtach US movies in French!!!)
My question reall is how can i swithed back my location to USA. . .

If you go to iTunes on your computer click on the App Store and scroll all the way down . In the bottom right of the screen is a map logo. Click on that and then chose the flag for the country you want

What are the best accessories to buy for an iphone?

I bought an iPhone this xmas, and i'm curious which are the better or best accessories one should buy?
I'm thinking of another usb cord, so i can leave the dock on my computer and just bring the outlet plug and usb cord on when i'm mobile.
But then i was thinking maybe just buy the Iphone bluetooth headset as it comes with the cord, and a new doc, as well as the bluetooth.
I think it almost makes more sense to buy it since the usb cord by itself is a ridiculous $20.
I already have my iphone covered with a bodyguardz skin (on the back) and a crystal film on the front for protection.

I know you have a guard on your iPhone and you're not fond of cases....but I use a pouch type case that protects my phone from a fall and it looks great. In case you are interested, this is where I got mine....

And they have many colors to choose from!
I like that case. Its very nice. I wouldnt mind a pouch like case. I think i might get one of these. Thanks. So many colors to choose from
I keep thinking that i wont drop the iphone, but i'm sure i will and some form of a case would probably be a smart idea. I just dread the idea of a case on the phone
This pouch looks like a nice trade off.
Has it scratched your iphone at all?
