HELP! Iphone 3GS automatically shutsdown itself

My Iphone 3GS is having some issues that when i'm charging it, it takes too much time like 4-5 hours(i'll charge it from 45% to 100% becase it automatically shutsdown when reached 40-50% battery life), then when i'm using it, it only last 2hours. Then if the problem is the battery, when i'm playing games or taking photos it only shuts off at 40-50% battery life? but if i'm not using it, it can still last until 40% battery? Weird Someone help me please? I can't even see the warning of 20% or 10% battery life remaining

You're welcome, enjoy the new smaller view.

My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

The "fix" is to get the phone repaired. There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

Your iPhone was "unofficially" unlocked by some means to work with a different carrier. Now that you have updated it has relocked to the original carrier. If you do not know who the original carrier was you will need to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number of your iPhone. Then you will need to contact that carrier to see if they have a process to unlock the phone and if you qualify.

Is your battery very run down? Try charging it for hours (or overnight).

HELP:iPhone 3Gs OS 4.0 beta: Phone locked, can't go beyond Emergency Screen

LS
Prelude
I have recently installed the beta OS4 on my iPhone 3Gs 32 Gb and I have had some troubles for instance with the iTunes store: if downloading a song on the phone it would just crash, the Calendar is repeating reminders over and over (sometimes it would just not stop), had to do a few complete resets, the mediaplayer would just crash, twitter apps are crashing. It really is beta software but given the latest problems I now sincerely regret ever installing it.
Locked
My phone this morning was locked in the "emergency calls only"-screen. I have tried everything from switching on and off, resetting through iTunes, hard reset (pushed the home button+on/of button simultanuously): nothing works, it will just return to the emergency call screen. iTunes tells me that the softwareversion perspired and i need to upgrade (?), after I try to do that it says I have the latest version and if I try to reset through iPhone or even synchronise iTunes says it can not access the iPhone. I am locked out of my own phone and can do nothing about it.
I need some professional help from Apple (or just someone very smart) as the only way out I see now is smashing the thing against the wall.
Please help!
Kind regards and thank you beforehand!

Since your phone is no longer tied to a dev account, it looks like you won't be able to upgrade until te final release...
You can still downgrade, you'll have to put your iPhone in DFU mode. It goes something like this:
plug the iPhone into a computer
press and hold the home an sleep buttons until the "connect to iTunes" screen shows up
iTunes will detect the iPhone is in recovery mode
you can now restore it
The down side os you'll lose you all your stuff that's one the iPhone, but I don't think that's avoidable now.
(If te above sequence doesn't work for you, google DFU mode.)
Hope it works for you!

Docked iPhone 3GS automatically starts or resumes playing/HOW TO STOP

Last year, I brought my iPhone 3GS to an Apple store and presented the problem of docking the iPhone and having the iPod on the iPhone resume or play from the beginning whatever song had last been played on the iPod. I needed to stop that behavior. One of the tech people showed me how to do that (something about hitting HOME button and power on/off button of phone simultaneously or one after the other or something). I've forgotten how to do this! There must be somebody on this forum who knows this secret formula.
It's highly annoying to dock the phone in my car and then have the iPod on the iPhone just automatically start playing whatever was last being played. I do not want it to automatically play anything when docked. Right now, the only way I can sort of do this is to switch to a podcast and force the podcast all the way to the end of the episode and then hit DONE. The way that tech showed me was much more efficient and elegant.
Anybody know how to do this?

The checkmark is used to include or exclude the checked item in the specified action. For example, only songs with a checkmark are imported when you click Import. Or only checked songs are considered by Genius, or synced to a device. However, checking songs does not exclude them from shuffling.

Update of the firmware?
Thanks
That is NOT what you said previously. You said: "I try to close all the app, close all tab of safari, roaming is off for the data" We are NOT psychic. Your original statement does NOT indicate that you have 3g off.
If the phone is unable to lock onto the preferred provider you set in manual mode, it will be constantly searching for the carrier signal. This will drastically reduce battery life. If you are out of range of the carrier you want to use, put the phone in airplane mode.

Mobile Safari on iPhone 3GS automatically resizes images to 1280x800

Hi,
I'm a new iPhone user and thus have had no prior experience. However, I've noticed that when you try to open a large image in Safari running on my iPhone 3GS, it appears to automatically shrink the image to 1280x800.
An example:
http://www.macwallpapers.net/images/wallpapers/Homer%20Simpson%20Apple-600960.jp eg
This image is 2560x1600, yet when I open it on Safari on my iPhone, it registers as a 1280x800 image. Note that it is not just this particular server, but every server I've tried.
Is this normal? Has anyone else noticed this? A few Google and forum searches seem to have not turned up anything.
Thanks.

I am slightly skeptical, since it all happened at once, and all the other browser apps seem to work. Plus, at exactly the same time, I started having app downloading issues.
My son, who has exact same phone, bought at exactly the same time, but without ios5 / cloud download has no issues at all.
This phone version is still being sold, so Apple or whatever caused the issue, should support it still.
Any answers on the horizon to fix this?

IPhone 3GS randomly turns itself on and off, even when charging

My iPhone 3GS 8GB keeps turning itself on and off randomly like every 5 minutes. It does this even when charging. I've had my phone for a year and haven't had any real problems out of it until now. It died on me last night so I plugged it into my charger. It came on then 5 mins later went off by itself and turned back on. It did this all night. I finally unplugged it to see if that had something to do with it, but it didn't. Anyone have any insight on this or ideas on how to fix this? I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!

my does the same mate i have tried everything

Woke up this morning and iPhone 3GS had reset itself and powered off!!

So I got up this morning and picked up my iPhone 3GS and discovered that it had powered off. Strange.
I turned it on and it asked me to plug it into iTunes to reset and restore it!!! What in the &#$#!??!
The real ****** is that I lost some very important notes that did not get synced before the phone died. Thanks a lot Apple. You have made me look like an _ss.
There is nothing to indicate why this happened. I did nothing different and had not installed anything.
I am on iPhone OS 3.1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and iTunes 9.0.1
Argh!!

I seem to have somehow solved this
So this is what I did
turn off / re-power up
Reset all settings
check emails - no change
went to one of my email accounts (as I have multiple emails) and turned off the main one of the SMTP server
it then worked
No doubt I will be back here again when it fails again
(as obviously there is something in IOS5 triggering this)

Wallpaper on iPhone 3GS - Automatic scroll through Photo Library?

On my MB I have set as Screen Saver a set of photos that I have installed in System Preferences/Desktop & Screen Saver. I have set the whole thing to toggle through the different photos in the Screen Saver folder.
Now I have synced iPhone to import that Screen Saver folder. I have found no way to have iPhone toggle (automatically as in the MB) through the photos.
Is it possible? How?
Thanks.

It is not possible, and would need to be implemented by Apple. You can suggest it to them:
