Camera stuck on iPhone 3GS with 4. firmware

I have installed the 4.2 firmware some time ago and it worked out fine. Till yesterday. The camera froze on the shutter, nothing resolved the issue. Total restore, switching off and on, ....I tried everything.
I also read that the happy iPhone 4 owners are having the same issue...
Does this mean that the camera is a waste on the iPhone from now on?
Pretty disappointed that Apple didn't resolve this issue rapidly since it seems that the 4 owners ran into this problem pretty soon after getting the phone.
I'll go to the Apple store later today and see what they have to offer ;-(

No such problem with my iPhone 4 with 4.2 or 4.3, and I certainly haven't seen this problem reported here in any large numbers. If this were a problem with 4.2, then every iPhone 4 owner that installed 4.2 on their iPhone would have the same problem, which is not the case.
The iPhone includes a one year warranty. The iPhone 4 was released last summer in the U.S. so there is no way your iPhone's standard one year warranty has expired so there should be no charge for an exchange under warranty.
If there is a hardware problem with your iPhone that cannot be resolved by any other means besides an exchange under warranty, and you haven't done anything with your iPhone that voids the warranty such as any accidental damage including moisture damage, why wouldn't the Apple store exchange your iPhone under warranty at no charge? Are you saying you refused an exchange under warranty? An exchange under warranty remains under the same warranty as the original purchase.

  • New iPhone 3GS with 3.1.2 firmware lost connection and de-activate itself.

    I was facing a problem with my iPhone 3GS (with 3.1.2 firmware)that prompt for "Restore is needed" and then lost All Network connection (phone, wifi, bluetooth....). I reboot my phone and its stay on Un-activate condition, which only allow me to call emergency number (which i don't know).
    This already happen to me second times with a replacement phone by apple store. So I worry that i will have the same problem even Apple replace another new phone for me.
    Please help and let me know what actually happenning on the phone or this firmware.

    No, it's not a common problem. In fact, 3.1.2 contains a fix for this a similar problem which was a bug in 3.1.

  • Can I connect the iphone 3gs with ipad 2?

    Hallo
    can I connect the iphone 3gs with ipad 2?

    You can connect it to use the iPhone as a personal hotspot for the iPad, or to transfer photos/videos via the camera connection kit. You can't connect them in order to transfer music, documents etc.

  • My cousin its big problem.iphone 3gs is no firmware,blutoot pls help me

    pls help,iphone 3gs no modem firmware,bluetoot,carrier

    I finally bit the bullet this morning and set up my iPad as a new one after backing up. It didn't wipe out my stuff like I thought it would, but I did have to re-set all of my synch settings including apps which took a while to set up. My apps were still on the iPad with the 'sync apps' tab unchecked so I checked it and matched up all of my apps on the iPad screen using iTunes before I hit apply. Once that was done, there were a few apps that moved over to the second window, but was easily fixed. Everything's back to normal - assuming all of the videos and music you had on the iPad are in your iTunes so you don't loose anything. It kept my music, but deleted my videos. Other data was still in-tact. I never had to re-enter any passwords for Facebook or Netflix, but my email was all gone (not missing it since it's all online anyway). Hope that helps.

  • Unable to restore iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4 (error 1013)

    I recently updated my 16GB iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4 (iPhone2,14.0_8A293Restore.ipsw) using iTunes 9.2 - it worked fine for a few days then all of a sudden I got a pop up message saying "you are unable to make or receive calls, please connect to iTunes". I did so and restored the firmware, it went through the whole cycle, unpacked, installed, verified and when it was about to be completed I got the following error from iTunes:
    "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1013)"
    The phone remained in restore mode (iTunes icon and USB cable). I tried restoring again with the same result. I then deleted the firmware file, rebooted and reinstalled (same error). I then deleted a reinstalled iTunes (no dice). I tried alternative USB ports and cables and also tried on 2 other computers and tried all this in DFU mode too yet nothing has worked.
    I would also like to point out that it is an original O2 phone with O2 chi[p that has *never been jailbroken*. Any ideas as to whats wrong? Or what I can do? Thanks in advance for you help!

    OK, so nothing else was working so I took my phone into the Genius bar and explained what had happened. The Genius said He was unsure what error 1013 was so he looked it up and explained "It's an error related to the baseband and that more than likely the phone was unable to communicate with Apple servers as Apple had the phone marked as non existent"
    He continued to explain that there was a fix he could do but would be quicker and easier to replace my phone. He did so and I left happy.
    I recomend you just take your phones in if you are having this same issue!

    I cannot restore my iPhone 3GS with iTunes. I am using Windows 7. Can anyone help me. I wont even boot. I previously jailbroke it. So i need help. I try restore. iPhone cannot restore. I try .ipsw file. Cannot restore because the firmware file is corrupted.

    Jailbreaking your phone not only voids any warranty with Apple, but also forfeits your ability to receive any assistance, including from this forum.
    Discussion of jailbroken phones is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use of this forum.
    You'll have to search elsewhere on the internet for assistance.  I know, why don't you start with the lovely people who helped you jailbreak your phone to begin with?

    I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5,  I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software.  Every time I try, I get the following message:
    "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established".  This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
    Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
    Will I be able to update the software?

  • Can you purchase the iPhone 3GS with cash?

    Just like the subject asks, can you buy an iPhone 3GS with cash, or do you need to use a credit card? I'm selling my 3G on Craigslist (for cash, obviously), and would rather just run to the Apple Store and pay with that and save myself a trip to the ATM.

    For new customers I believe they need a credit card. But for existing customers you can give them cash and they will put it on a gift card and then swipe the gift card. For some reason, they have to do it like that.

    You CANNOT get a refund.'
    You can ONLY get it replaced with the same model, and only if Apple determines that it is defective.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5209 might help you.  An iPhone 4 can airplay content from apps that support airplay and iTunes but it cannot mirror.  If your game does not have airplay in the app you cannot mirror it to the apple TV so I don't know if you can play just the music.  You should have no problem playing your iTunes over airplay though.
