Blurtooth in new iphone 3Gs

I have just bought bought the new iphone and love it dearly except the fact that I can't get the Bluetooth to work. It will turn on but only says 'searching' continuously. Other phones can find it but, they aren't allowed to connect with it. It would be great if I could get this working as I use Bluetooth a lot.

But you gotta like the typo in the thread's title: "Blurtooth" = Bluetooth without all the expected capabilities

If I buy a new iPhone 3GS on eBay, can I transfer the SIM card from my current iPhone 3GS into the new one and will it still work?

I have an 8GB iPhone 3GS on AT&T, and I wanted to purchase a 16GB version on eBay. Will I be able to just pop the SIM card out of the current iPhone 3GS into the new iPhone 3GS and have it work properly?

Yes, you will be able to use it provided that the 16GB version of 3GS is either factory unlocked or locked to AT&T network (in case of a carrier locked phone).

Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

How can I get a Brand New iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement phone?

4/26/2011
Does anyone how I can get a brand new iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement for my iPhone 3GS? I already had the phone replaced once with a refurbished phone that has a problem with becoming frozen and unresponsive. This occurred ten times since I got the phone on 4/16/2011. I have tried doing a hard reset and have also restored the phone as a new device. I have an Apple Care plan. I am concerned that the refurbished phones will not be reliable due to my experience with the refurbished one that I got as a replacement.
Thanks!

Thanks very much for your reply! I have a Genius Bar appointment today maybe they can test the phone to see if they can determine whether or not it is defective.
Thanks Again!

NEW IPHONE 3GS DOES NOT START

I just got my new iphone 3gs yesterday and have not even had the time to have a nice look at it coz it just does not start.
When I put the phone to charge the apple logo appears and after that just the sign of USB connector pointing towards itunes (with the itunes logo) appears and phone stops. I had it charged for more than four hours but I don’t see the battery charging status icon anywhere.
When I press the ON switch on the top the same thing repeats itself meaning it gets stuck in the USB connector pointing towards itunes (with the itunes logo) sign. Totally confused and frustrated. Kindly assist. Lastly as i am new to the apple brand could anyone guide me towards the Software for the IPHONE 3GS i require to install on my desktop in order to sync,email etc.thanks for the advises in advance

Obviously it's telling you that you need to connect your iphone to your itunes to activate it, otherwise it won't work.
Firstly download itunes, under Downloads. then install then plug in your iphone, and follow the instructions to activate it. Then you should be set and start using the phone.

I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water. It still does everything but get service, can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one...

I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water for a moment. After drying it and everything, it still does everything but get service. Can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one... is this true? I would truly appreciate the help, please let me know, thanks!

Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode. In this case, all data on it is gone. There's nothing to back up.

This calibrates the battery indicator, not the battery. There is no battery calibration with a lithium-ion or lithium based battery.
Copied from this link.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
I'm not sure why Apple includes charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down as one charge cycle, which is not the definition of a full charge and discharge cycle with a lithium-ion or lithium based battery. A full charge and discharge cycle can include running the battery from 100% to 50% followed by fully charging the battery and repeating this the next day.

What would be better a new iPhone 3gs or a used iPhone 4?

what would be better a new iPhone 3gs or a used iPhone 4? The iphone would be 2yrs old and belonged to my sister. I am weighing my iphone options, help!

I'm sorry I should have been more specific with the situation. I currently own an iPhone 3gs which is still under warranty, I am going to get a new one because I am having some issues with the phone. However, my sister offered me her old Iphone 4 if i want it. Now I am not sure whether I should take her 2 year old iphone 4 or just keep the 3gs I get from the apple store...???

New iPhone 3GS with iOS 5 creating a problem with white screen

Hi There,
I purchased a new iPhone 3GS from iStore in India on 27th Dec 2011 and got a problem saying phone was getting restated automatically. Later got a new device replaced by Apple and now it started a new issue from the day one, with a temporary white screen of death.
It happen, whenever the phone is kept on stand by for a longtime, mostly in nights. Further after receiving a call/text kept the phone idle and by the next call come phone turns white and to get rid of it need to press power button once and then press the home button.In the white screen mode touch is not responsive.
Please let me know what can i do. Tried restoring device from back up, via itune... everything is done. but not getting a solution.
Is it the problem of iOS5.
Any help... please suggest.
Thanks
Venkat

Hi... Posted there please try to upgrade your OS, I hope this will resolve your issue but if it doesn't please reach out to a nearest apple care and check for a solution, as ur phone is from US, these guys cannot help :(

Camera on new iPhone 3GS does not work

My husband got a brand new iPhone 3GS yesterday from the iShop here in Gateway Durban, and the camera does not work at all. You can see through the lense, but non of the touchscreen controls work (ie access to camera roll, take picture, swap to video.) Am I missing something obvious? This is perculiar, in that it is his second iPhone and I have the iPhone 4 so you would think between us we would be able to figure it out, but it does seen truly STUCK. Any ideas?

Have you tried to restore the phone?

How do I get repeat voicemail alerts on my new iphone 3GS? Please help.

I got the new iphone 3GS. Right now, if someone leaves a voicemail it beeps once and that's it. This is fine, except when I am not near my phone when this beep sounds. (I would have to manually check the phone to see if anyone called).
I would like the phone to beep as a reminder that I have a voicemail waiting say every 5 or 10 minutes until I listen to it (or purposely acknowledge there is a vm for me and decide to listen to it later). Can anyone tell me how to set up a "repeat" voicemail alert? (Every phone I have owned has had this).

It is surprising iphone does not have this feature. My 5 year previous cell phone had the feature, but would also give you the option to disable it if you just wanted 1 beep. That way if you step away from your cell or get busy, you at least had a repeat reminder to check your voicemail. This is CRITICAL in Emergency situations (medical) or time sensitive things that can come up, especially if you don't know about them in advance.
Can we have more discussion on this? Are we sure this simple feature does not exist for the iphone?? Is there an Application I can get that will help solve this problem? I am sure I am not the only one who could benefit from it.

Predictive Texting on New iphone 3gs

Hey, my girl just got a new iphone 3gs, and hates predictive texting. We stopped by an apple store and a somewhat confused looking associate said that it was impossible to turn off. Is this true or can it be done?
Thanks

More than somewhat confused, and not just in looks.
Settings > General > Keyboard, toggle Auto-Correction to OFF.

New iPhone 3GS white screen on wake up.

Hi, the wifes new iPhone 3GS keeps showing a white screen when she tries to wake it up. Should I restore it? If so will we loose all the info on it?

I got it by a restore error when i tried to downgrade and it is now totally unusable.
Downgrading the phone is not supported, (for good reason as you found out) and no support for hacked iPhones can be given in this forum. You're on your own.

Are you sure you have an iPhone 3G and not an iPhone 3 because the iPhone 3 are not capable of running anything beyond 4.2

Can't receive calls on my new Iphone 3GS

I'm a new Telus customer since yesterday. I can't receive any calls on my Iphone 3Gs except if the caller is on the Telus network.
Telus confirmed that this ain't a network problem. They beleive it might be a problem whith codes inside the phone? Sim card maybe?
At this time, the technical support at Telus can't help me since their system is down.
However, I was with bell before and transfered my phone number to telus...could that be one of the reason?
Anyone experienced the same problem?

I bought the I phone on the 5th From Telus, I can not recieve calls. When I call it it says "the number you have called can not be completed as dialed", When I turn my I phone off than on I get a message saying "SIM has sent a text message" three times and then "ME has registered a temporary error". Does anybody know anything about this?
P.S.
I am going into Edmonton tomorrow and I am going to stop at the APPLE shop in West Ed mall and see what they say or can do.
