Cooking eggs on the iphone 3gs

Lots of iphone 3gs users have been reporting the poor bat. life of the new 3gs. etc.
But speed comes at a price, we will have to deal with that.
Something i am not going to deal whit is the HEAT coming from the 3gs !!
This is beyond normal, such temp cant be any good for the lifespan of the bat. and the rest of the phone.
It seems that sometimes the temp. goes up even to the point where the phone cannot be used anymore. It hurt your fingers/hand and ears (ears most LOL).
TO HOT TO HANDLE !!!!
Apple says that no such probleem is know ???
ANYBODY ???
Lets put one 3GS in front of a webcam, en push it to its max for days/weeks etc. , will it blow ??
Kind Regards, Sebastiaan

5 days after getting the 3G S I was removing it from the charger and noticed the back was warm , almost hot, as you describe yours. It wouldn't power on or reset so I took it to the AT&T store wher I got it. They confirmed it's a known manufacturer's defect and instructed me to take it into a local Apple store for replacement. I have an appointment at the Genius Bar this Saturday. If you haven't done this you should...even AT&T knows about the problerm.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Place the Device into Recovery mode... All data / Content will be Erased.

are you talking about voiceover where the phone is reading things out loud to you? you have to double tap things in voiceover in order to select them. you'll need to go to settings > general > accessibility > and turn off voiceover there

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.

Bottom row of the keyboard is not working in a vertical orientation on the iPhone 3Gs. the "slide to unlock" and all keys on the calculator on both orientation works fine. I can use the keyboard on horizontal orientation.

Bottom row of the keyboard is not working in a vertical orientation on the iPhone 3Gs. the "slide to unlock" and all keys on the calculator on both orientation works fine. I can use the keyboard on horizontal orientation. The tabs on bottom of all apps also work fine.
I have already tried holding down the power button and home button for 10 seconds, but no difference.

I've had this problem on and off for the last few weeks (around, but not directly related, to upgrade to 6.1...can't remember if was before or after)....I'm very convinced it's a software problem (as there have been times when the bottom row works perfectly, without any need to "press" differently or anything).
However, it seems to be a rather resilient software issue, as a full restore does not consistently fix it, and it applies to more than just the keyboard; if I open a drawing app, there's definitely a row (about 4mm up from the edge of the screen closest to home button) where I cannot draw.
It's happened 4 times now. Originally it went away with a restore from backup, then worked for 2 more days. The second and third times, it went away with a full restore (although I did two full restores in between those two restores that did nothing, so restore didn't consistently fix it)....and it seemed to return in the most random of circumstances.
I paid very close attention to what apps I was using the last time it was working so that I could spot which app, if any, might be causing the issue. I deleted several apps, I stopped using the games and many other apps. I only used three apps between it working fine and starting up as a problem again: mail, safari and messages.
I was convinced it was mail, as it happened this morning when I picked up my phone off the bedside table to respond to a new email. It was working when I went to bed. I picked up the phone when it buzzed, hit the email app, hit reply and started to type....**** bottom row wasn't working again.
However, tonight I did 2 things....one of them worked because it went back to normal (sorry, I don't know which as I was exasperated and trying a number of things).
The two things I did between a broken keyboard and a working keyboard were:
1) adding a second keyboard (English(Canada)), changing to this keyboard, and changing back
2) disabling Siri...and then turning it back on...and then disabling Siri's "Raise to Speak"
In retrospect, I wonder if it actually was the "Raise to Speak" that was putting the phone into a weird state, and might explain why the phone would just "suddenly" start behaving strangely when I picked it up. Of note, the "raise to speak" hasn't actually triggered Siri to come on in months anyway.
Regardless, the keyboard is back to normal now...and I'm just going to leave "Raise to Speak" off. I've put the keyboard back to just "English" with no alternates and Siri remains on otherwise without issue.

Is the iphone 3gs in the appstore still 50$?

Is the iphone 3gs in the appstore still 50$ and can you buy it without activating it?

As already provided, the 3GS is available via Apple's online store or via AT&T's online store in the U.S., which can be shipped within U.S. borders only. The $49 price is AT&T's subsidized or discounted price which requires signing a two year contract with AT&T before the iPhone is shipped. All that is confirmed and agreed to be the iPhone will be shipped to a billing address for AT&T that will be confirmed by AT&T along with a credit check if you are not an existing AT&T subscriber.
