Do all iphone 3gS's do this?

My iphone 3gs cuts out all of the time and it won't work again until I plug it in and it's weird but I know that if the apple logo doesn't come on after 3 seconds that it isn't going to work and will go to a scree that says iOS6 and then tells me to plug into itunes, so I disconnect it from my charger (it blacks out again) and try to plug it into my laptop and the apple logo shows up after ten seconds but then it cuts out and does this repeatedly so now my phone won't work at all and I'm sick of it, I've always loved my iPhone so is there any way I can fix this?

Make an appointment at the genius bar.

Is that right (All IPhone 3GS maded in China)?

HI
I am going to buy an IPhone 3GS But my friend told me "All IPhone maded in China"
Is he right?

I am with Ziatron on this.
I would upgrade all my company's and my own personal Mac products much more frequently (iMacs, MacBooks, iPhones) if they were not made or assembled in China.
China's human rights, civil liberties and ecological record is disgraceful.
I consequently buy as few Mac products as possible although we only use Mac

I upgraded to Mt. Lion and now I have duplicates in notes and contacts on my iPhone 3gs. Is this a sync issue? I have 4 e-mail accounts and the iCloud is one of them.

Maybe my title says to much. I have multple contacts, notes, sometimes just two, sometimes 14. I upgraded to Mt. Lion and that may be an issue or maybe syncing is the issue. It is making me crazy/er! I have 4 e-mail contact lists and that may be part of the issue with e-mail but why duplicate notes? I am stumped. Please give your thoughts for a solution. I have deleted the duplicates from iPhone (3gs, iMac, and iPad2).
Thanks,
Jim

I forgot to say that the duplicate entries return after I have deleted them. Strange to me is why do some contacts show up as many as 14 times. I am suspecting that there could be an issue with iCloud or iTunes. Truly a mystery to me for now.

Merging contact groups on Iphone 3GS and sharing this with exchange server

I`ve got one for you
I`ve got a recently purchased Iphone, that I`ve just set up.
Everything works fine.
BUT, I first uploaded my contact from my previous Nokia from a private mail-account that I had used for back up for my old phone.
Then I connected my Iphone to my outlook-mail on my exchange server at work.
This means that I have got 2 groups in my contact list on my Iphone, which is ok.
Yesterday I cleaned up my contact list on my phone in the "all contact" section on my phone. Deleting double registered contact cards and copying mail-adress or phone number from one of the double registered contact card to the other ( as one was from my previous phone and one was from my mail. )
So now my contact list in "all contacts" are perfect.
The question is, can I transfer this perfect contact list over to my outlook-account on the exchange server so this, which will be my only back up log, is the same as on my phone.
The contacts which was already taken from the outlook-account has been updated as they should, but I had quite a few contact from my phone ( approximately 480 ) and I did not take into account when I "cleaned up" yesterday if I was deleting the contact card from my old phone of the contact card from the exchange server.
Hopefully one of you has got a solution to my problem

No - the iPhone keeps Exchange server contacts separate from 'local' contacts stored on the phone (synced via iTunes, imported from a SIM card, etc.).

I have just bought a used iPhone 3GS How can this problem be fixed?

I have hanged in settings iCloud to my Apple ID details and password. When I try to access and download apps my phone automatically reverts back the the old owners Apple ID. I'm blocked out! How can this be fixed? Thank you.

This can't happen unless there are apps on the iPhone that were downloaded by the previous owner's iTunes account.
You need to restore the iPhone as a new iPhone and start from there.

I try to activate my iphone 3gs and getting this message activate request couldn't be complete .if the problem persist .please contact customer service. 3474438471

All GSM iPhones require a sim card in order to activate the phone. There is no way around this fact. If you want to activate your phone, you need to get a compatible sim card from the carrier your phone is locked to if your phone is carrier locked. If not carrier locked, you can use any sim you want.

My uncle sent me a factory unlocked iphone 3gs from US and sent it to me to India. but when i inserted a sim ,it said that my simcard is not combatible. is there any chance to solve this problem. the phone was bought from a apple reseller.

it worked in US with a sprint sim card. i am very sure that it wasnt jailbroken. then how this happened. plz explain me what i should do

A: There is no such thing as an unlocked iPhone 3Gs in the United States. ALL iPhone 3Gs's sold in the US are locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones, therefore it is not legitimately unlocked.
B: Sprint is a CDMA network as others have mentioned. They do NOT use SIM cards. The iPhone 3Gs will NEVER work on Sprint. Ever. It's not physically possible.
Either your Uncle misunderstood or he was mislead. Send it back and tell him to get his money back. Buy an iPhone in India from a supported carrier.

Iphone 3GS ONLY powers on with AC not with computer and unable to restore

Hi,
So I have an Iphone 3GS 16GB. This is my uncle’s iphone. He updated it to 5.0.1 just last week and was using it fine but he just dropped his phone and thats when all these problems started.
The only way I can get the iphone to turn on/show the screen is when I connect it to an AC power source. The Apple logo comes ON goes to the password screen, I put in the password and then it shows the earth globe with the USB cord and it tells me to connect to iTunes. The problem here is once I disconnect the USB cord, the screen and phone shut OFF completely. Neither the touch screen nor any of the home/sleep button work as if it just turned off on its own after removing the usb cable. I also took note of the battery percentage it says 100%. Also once I remove the USB cord I can see the screen goes black and I can see dark vertical black/gray lines. However they go away once I plug it back into the ac source.
I've tried connecting to 2 different computers with updated ITunes 10.5.2 (latest update). I've tried 8 different USB port (all confirmed working) and 2 confirmed working Apple USB cords, however neither of the computers recognizes the Iphone. The ONLY way I can get the computer to recognize the iphone is while it connected (still has a black screen since it doesn’t turn on) I put it into DFU mode (press and hold sleep button for 3secs, then press and hold home button for 10secs, then release sleep button and continue holding home button for 10 more secs) I can hear the computer makes a tone that it recognizes the phone and iTunes pops up with a message saying iphone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored or something down those lines so I click restore & update. it downloads the latest IOS 5.0.1 (even thou my uncle said it already has the latest update since he did it a week ago) it goes thru all the processes (still have a black screen) then it goes to a bar on iTunes that says (verifying iphone restore or verifying iphone restore with apple) the screen turns on to a lite Black screen for about 5-10secs doesn’t display anything (usually it shows a progress bar on the iphone but it doesn’t) then the phone turns off and it makes the tone on the computer that the phone has been disconnected when it really hasn’t. I always get 2 error messages (1602 or 1604) I've been trying for HOURS to try to get it to work but I am stumped.
I asked my uncle if it was hack or jailbroken he said no, he hasn't done anything like that.
If anyone can please help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you very much.

Mikey, I have the exact same problem. Dropped my 3gs on Thanksgiving, phone was not responsive, plugged into the wall charger, went to grey iPhone restore screen, then said to connect to itunes. So I plugged it into itunes but itunes wont recognize it nor will my computer. I searched the internet for hours with no success. I tried to change USB ports and cords, tired removing the SIM card, reinstalled itunes, everything. When I put it in DFU mode itunes recognizes an iphone in recovery mode, so I click restore and update, then I get error 1602 every time. My iPhone also loses power when I unplug it from the wall. I do not know what to try next. You are the only person I have found with the same exact problem I have. I will update you if I find a way to get my phone working again and I hope you will do the same. I'm very frustrated

Flex 4.5.1 AIR application is not running on iPhone 3gs

I developed an iOS application in Flash builder 4.5 with flex 4.5.1 extension using AIR 2.6. This application is successfully installed on iPhone4G. When I tried to install it on iPhone 3GS it say, this application is not compatible with this iPhone.
My iPhone 3GS is running iOS 4.2.1
Is the iOS version 4.2.1 is not supported for Flex iOS app development or there is any other issue. Please help, thanks in advance.

Yes AIR 2.6 is compatible with iOS 4.2.1.I'd recommend you update to the latest version of FB and AIR. You should download the free upgrade to Flash Builder 4.6 and build from there. It's much improved and AIR 3.x has better performance all around.
Regarding the incompatibility issue, you're absolutely sure you have an iPhone 3GS and not the 3G? They look nearly identical. One sure way to tell is to plug it into iTunes and see if you can upgrade the OS to the latest iOS 5.x. If you can't upgrade to iOS 5, then it's for sure a 3G and is not compatible with AIR 2.6+

How do I make ring tone louder on iphone 3GS?

How can I increase the ringtone volume on my Iphone 3GS?

Try this support document for information http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694. Here is the info regarding 2006
Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

IOS 4.3.5 killed mobile data on my iPhone 3Gs.

I updates to 4.3.5 and my iPhone 3Gs and then this happend:
The phone does not sync my mails anymore!!!! <---- major problem for me.
The WiFi logo shows but the phone is not on wifi. It will not connect to any wifi router!!
There is no connection to AppStrore, Gamecenter, Safari and so on.
Yes I have tried switching off, resetting and all that. Still nothing. Is there any possibility to do a "rollback" to the last backup? (before i updated)
Pls help, im desperate.

I performed "Restore - Setup as New Device" like what Ingo2711 advised; and I followed the Guide attached and backed-up everything as much as I can.
Now everything is working fine as before.
Email, AppStore, Safari, iPod works ! ... along with everything else.
But yes, it will wipe out all the music, videos, photos, SMS'.
Thanks again gdmacguy and Ingo2711.
I-ChS, I hope it works for you too.

No push-notifications after officially unlocking iphone 3gs

Hey there!
A few days ago I officially unlocked my T-Mobile Germany iPhone 3GS.
After this, push notifications aren't working. It keeps me telling "Connect to Itunes to use push-notifications".
And it doesn't matter whether I try WhatsApp or Facebook.
I tried a restore and a reset of the network settings.
Anyone experiencing the same issues?
Thanks in advance,
Julian

I recently updated my iPhone 3GS with IOS 5. Since then I've found my phone is very slow, but also that What's App Messenger or Facebook does not give me push notifications. Everytime I open the app, it tells me to connect with iTunes to use push notifications. I've done this a few times, but it makes no difference. I don't know if I'm suppose to change any settings on iTunes, but cant find anything to change. All my Whatsapp notification settings are on. I also dont want to uninstall WhatsApp because I'm scared I will lose all my messages.
Please help

Apple iPhone 3GS 8GB Blank Screen While Updating to IOS4.3.3

Hi have iPhone 3GS 8GB. This phone I got as replacement from Apple for my Previous iPhone which got stuck in recovery. This replacement phone was working on IOS 4.2.1.
A few days back Apple has released IOS 4.3.3 and while updating my iPhone via iTunes, there was some error message.
I tried it again and different different errors keep on coming. Now my Phone is totally blank. When I plug the Phone in Computer I can listen to USB Plugin sound coming from computer but nothing is coming on screen. It seems iPhone is stuck in DFU Mode.
Also when I plug the phone in computer iTunes POPs up and says phone is in recovery mode and when I restore the phone error 1600 keeps on coming.
I am 100% sure there is some software issues with the phone as computer responds when I plug in and Plug out the phone (USB Sound). Can any wise person on this Group help me out with the same.
Regards,
Anshuman

are you able to see the apps on the home screen? If so, it's most likely an issue with your carrier
This is also an issue that can appear on devices that have been modified in an unauthorized manner (not judging, just saying)

Will Apple cover my factory unlocked iphone 3GS anywhere in the world?

Hello,
I'm planning on buying a factory unlocked iphone 3GS directly from the Apple Store in Hong Kong.
Will Apple cover my iphone with the warranty worldwide or only in Hong Kong?
Thank you.

What I meant to say is that technically, hardware-wise, almost all iphones 3GS are the same (I believe the models in mainland China don't have GPS?).
It's no WiFi in China. GPS used to be illegal in Egypt, but they changed the law recently.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I suppose that the carrier lock is a software lock, which can be removed (we've all heard about it), but gets reversed once you update to a new OS version.
Carriers can ask Apple to unlock particular phones. The next time the iPhone is restored via iTunes, new firmware will be downloaded from Apple and will display a message saying it has been unlocked. It will stay unlocked if updated. Unofficial unlocks (which can not be done on current iPhones) will re-lock if the iPhone is updated.
I know it is the way it is, but I believe most of you would agree that if you buy a telephone, you shouldn't be forced to go with one carrier or another. That is why when I pay for an unlocked phone, I pay much more, go get the freedom (without hacks) to choose the carrier I want (where in contrast I pay much less for calls and internet than with the exclusive iphone carrier).
It would be much easier for Apple if all iPhones were unlocked, and the same in all countries, but the carriers make a fortune from their exorbitant roaming charges, so where the country's laws allow, insist that Apple not make any unlocked iPhones available in their countries.
By the way, MMS is not something most people use. There are some statistics on the internet about the ratio of SMS to MMS and it was something like 10 to 1.
All the 3G and 3GS iPhones are capable of MMS, but the carriers have to support it.

Do all iphone 3gS's do this?
