First generation iphone vs iphone 3g

between these iphones, is there any difference in sim card compatibility.
i ask this question because someone told me that iphone 3g can't be used in Myanmar, though one of my friend is using first generation iphone now here in Myanmar.
sim card in Myanmar is 2G. ( can do SMS message but not internet access )
any expert who know this problem, pls help me.

The sim card that comes with the v1 & v2 iPhone is a 3G sim card. What your friend did was unlock the phone to use a local sim where he lives. This voids the warranty on the phone and can possibly cause permanent damage. IF you were able to do this with the 3G model, unless it was compatible with a local 3G network - if you have one, you would only have access through the Edge service or GPRS that you have access to locally.

  • First generation iPad connection to iPhone 4s personal hotspot

    Dear all,
    I'm having troubles with the following configuration.
    I have an iPhone 4s (iOS 5.1.1, modem firmware 2.0.12) which is sharing its internet connection via personal hotspot. This actually works (tested with a MacBook which is able to see the wifi network generated by the iPhone, and succesfully connects and browses the internet with no problems).
    An iPad (first generation, iOS 5.1.1, modem firmware 07.11.01) sees the wifi network generated by the iPhone, but cannot actually connect to it. It responds with the message "Impossible to access to selected network". It's definietly not a password problem. Tried to turn off and on the wifi on both devices, and to turn off and on the personal hotspot on the iPhone. Tried to switch off and on both devices. Nothing worked.
    Someone can help?
    Thanks a lot,

  • First generation iPad doesn't want to stream video from Amazon Prime. My iPhone 4s works. What's up with that?

    i'm trying to stream a video from my first generation iPad to my Apple TV. I'm able to stream from my iPhone 4S using AirPlay from my Amazon prime account. The iPad gives me a small box with the title of the movie. I can hear the audio,but I can't see the video. I can stream YouTube movies, but not the Amazon prime movies from the first generation iPad to the Apple TV. What can I do?

    Are both running the same version of the app?

  • What to do with an unused first generation iPhone

    I've got a brand new first generation iPhone.
    I have no desire to use it as a phone.  I'd like to use it as nothing more than an mp3 player and wifi stuff in the coffee shops.
    I've googled how to do it, but I came up with all kinds of complex stuff that I don't understand.  One article says it involves doing unauthorized stuff to the phone (gave way too complex instructions for unlocking the thing) ... another more recent article says that Apple is not objecting to people using old iPhones simply as iPods.
    But nowhere have I found a tutorial that will get me up to speed ... something written to a techno-simpleton like me, with no real understanding of iPhones or computer terminology.
    Can anyone point me to a very simple tutorial on how to convert a first generation iPhone ... probably one of the first ever made ... into a non-phone media player and wifi surfer?
    And is Apple in fact okay with this?
    -JOHN

    The iphone is designed to only be used once it has been activated with a carrier.
    Once it has been activated, then it can be used without a wireless plan.

  • First Generation iPhone - can't seem to activate Bluetooth functionality

    I upgraded my first generation iPhone with V2.0 software, unfortunately I can't turn on Bluetooth functionality at all - can't even get to the point of trying to pair with a Motorola headset.
    I go to Settings>General>Bluetooth and move the switch from off to on. The little gray gear symbol just turns until the phone switches off automatically (about 2 minutes).
    Is this a problem with the new software?
    Thanks,
    Gail

    Gail... I had this same problem back in January 2008 with the first update of the year, I have a bluetooth adapter in my stereo system in my truck so I can have hands free calling that come out over the stereo system. I installed this adaptor in the beginning of Dec 2007 worked beautiful till the Jan. update. After the update everytime I got in the truck and turned the stereo on it would pair then freeze the iphone, sometimes it would completly shut it down, I was mad!!! After about a week of this I just disabled the bluetooth. After the March 2008 update all was back to normal, bluetooth worked beautifully again! I have not had any problems since then. I have not updated to 2.0 and after reading all the forums today I am gonna hold off for a while. You probably just need to wait till the next update, unfortunatly. Hope this helps!

  • Forgot the password to my first generation iphone, how to unlock it now please help

    I forgot my first generation iphone password, my iphone gives me this message "iphone is disabled and connect to iunes" when I connect to itunes get another message please enter your password.  Please help if anyone had this problem before

    If you restore the phone from backup on the LAST computer the phone synced with, this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer the phone synced with, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it as a new device to remove the passcode:
    Turn the phone off using the Sleep/Wake button, then the slide to power off. If you are unable to do that, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, you will only be able to restore as a new device.

  • Problem with first generation iPhone after 3.1 upgrade - HELP!

    Hey all!
    I'm wondering if any of you know how to help me out with this issue...
    I have a first generation iPhone 16GB and I recently upgraded to 3.1 software, but my sim card is not supported - so I need to downgrade. I've tried restoring, tried QuickPwn but no success with anything. It's stuck on the emergency call screen. By the way, my sim card isn't supported on 3.0 either, so I need to downgrade it to the original. I've been browsing the web all day trying to find a solution and nothing yet. If you can help, I'd appreciated it GREATLY!
    Thanks so much!

  • First Generation iphone static from receiver

    My first generation iPhone has static coming from the receiver. When I am on the phone the other person does not hear it. The distortion made by receiver is very annoying. The static last for about 10 seconds. It started happening last week. I have the latest update. I did the restore twice. I am headed to the apple store tomorrow. I only got 25 days left on the warranty. I wanted to know if this was a common problem.

    The phone was purchased off eBay, and it was unused brand new when it was purchased...and it was unlocked.
    What part of the the iphone 2G was never sold anywhere in the world officially unlocked, other than France, do you not understand? Fact is, your phone was "hacked" to unlock it, which is common with iphones purchased on ebay. There are posts daily here just like yours. There is no way to officially unlock your phone, as AT&T does not offer unlocking and they would be the only ones who could unlock yours. As already stated: ANY ATTEMPT to update software or restore a "hacked" iphone will re-lock it to the carrier it was originally locked to. You have three choices: 1. Sell it and buy a phone you can use, 2. Take it back to the US & activate it on the AT&T network(very expensive to use where you live if you do that), or 3. Enjoy it as a paperweight.

    You don't. And an iPhone 3G is not the first generation iPhone.

  • There are problems w/ my iPhone first generation w/ the new July updates.

    There are problems w/ my iPhone first generation w/ the new July updates. The phone runs slow now. Could not play certain songs on iPod. phone reset back to the home screen when I go to certain sites on the Internet. Use to be able to go on the Internet on the 7 train and the phone freezes sometimes.
    The thing that ***** is that if u don't have wi-fi u can't use the iTunes icon and utube is not clear. Utube ***** anyway. The thing that would make the phone offical is if the iPhone had cable tv.

    I hope someone can answer this one. My 1st gen was doing the exact same s*. and now it's completley dead. Even when you do a hard boot with both top and home buttons it gives you the apple of death. I've let it sit until the battery goes out.
    I'm a network analyst/engineer and I'm stumped. I've tried everything. I finally gave in and set up and appointment with a "genius." I have a feeling they're gonna have to replace it or something. It wont even register on a mac or win laptop to do a reset. I'm screwed.
    I expect to hear more about this issue. I almost thing the firmware might not be compatible with some of the hardware???
    might have to give in and buy a new one.....

  • I bought an iphone secondhand first generation that now has dead pixels. Impossible for me to get it replaced/fixed by Apple?

    As the title says:
    I bought an iphone secondhand first generation that now has dead pixels and I'm not sure of the cause. Impossible for me to get it replaced/fixed by Apple? It's obviously more than a year old and there's no added warrantee...

    To the best of my recollection, the first-generation iPhone, if that is truly what you have, was never released in Australia, so no, you probably cannot get any service from Apple for that iPhone. You may wish to confirm what model of iPhone you really do have using this information:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939
    before you proceed further. Your options will depend on what model of iPhone you really do have, and where that iPhone was originally sold (service is available from Apple only in the country in which the iPhone was originally sold).
    Regards.

  • Reactivating first generation iPhone?

    So I currently have a 3GS (had it since it first came out) so I know, it's time to buy a new one. But because I just can't afford it I've just kept using it, which was never a problem. That is, until I made the terrible decision to download iOS 5 on it. Now I can't receive any incoming texts, which is a huge problem. I still have my first generation iPhone so I thought maybe I could reactivate it just until I can afford to get a new phone in a couple of weeks. But whenever I try to activate it (after putting my current SIM card into it) the activation process never fully works. I was wondering if it's just not really possible to reactive a first generation iPhone or if something's just going wrong? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I'm talking about your 3GS.
    If you didn't lose "everything" by installing iOS 5 on your 3GS, you won't lose "everything" when restoring the 3GS with iTunes.
    Where you do get you will lose everything on your iPhone when restoring it with iTunes?
    All iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, ringtones, audio and print books, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer. All photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer should remain on your computer. Photos and videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks are designed to be synced with a supported app on your computer so all this data should be available on your computer as well. This leaves data such as iPHone settings, SMS/MMS, and 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app which is included with your iPhone's backup.
    If you switch to your original iPhone, you won't have all the data that is on your iPhone 3GS available on the original iPhone anyway.
