HELP! my iPhone 3gs has deleted all my texts!
Does anyone know if it's possible to retrieve any text messages after a sync with iTunes? My battery went flat, plugged it into my laptop so a sync has occurred & when I looked every single message had gone. Is there any way to restore them? Please?
Thank you!!!!!!

When I restore do i click back up or dont back up to get the text messages and everything back?
Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? It might help. It's not going to make anything worse.
When was the last itme you backed up your phone? If it was recently, restoring the phone to the back up may get them back.
If you have a Mac, you can try an app like Phoneview from www.ecamm.com (there are similar apps for Windows but I don't remember the names). Phone view has a trial so you could at least check if it helps.
Best of luck. -
I tried to reset my iPhone (3gs) with deleting all data. When it power off and automatically again on then it is showing Apple logo only. Not restore and startup my phone. iPhone alerming low charge and I tried to charge and not charging.
What I should do now?Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
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, select "new". -

My iphone 3gs, has ceased all sounds help
About 2 weeks ago my iphone decided to stop playing all sounds, i discovered this when i set my alarm for the morning and noticed when i locked the screen it didnt click. Since then any sounds used via the external speakers fail to play. I have no hiss to even make me think there is sound playing. All Apps, Alarms, tones, phone calls, text msgs, Speaker phone fail to play any sound at all. But if i plug in my headset then the sounds can be clearly heard.
Before you advise me to check the mute button, i have i check the mute button all the time its in the sound position and guess what "no sound".
Its almost like my phone has taken on a hearing impairment.
I have tried all the online suggestions, from inserting headphone jacks in and out 20 times to sucking on the jack. Master resets, and seeing the apple people who low behold took couple of minutes to play with the phone without opening it up and saying its a hardware issue.
Come on guys this is isnt stupidville and the consumer market wasnt born yesterday.
So who's got some answers out their for me?
Is it fixable? What causes the phone to do this?
If i had an explaination as to why it occured so it can be shared amongst others then that would let me leave with my hearing impaired iphone. But being moranic enough to switching the mute button on, come on "hello, McFly"
So Apple support, there must be an answer somewhere a large corporation that thrives on being its best, running the market with handheld devices.
thanksI'm not sure to whom you think you're addressing.....
We're users on this forum, just like you. We're not Apple support.
As far as your problem is concerned, have you done the steps recommended in the user guide: restart? reset? restore?
If you've done that and you still have the problem, bring the phone into Apple for evaluation. If there's a problem with the phone, it will be replaced. -
As I was using the phone, the phone went through a 'supernatural' moment - flickering etc. and then the contacts was empty. Even the favourites had numbers and not names.
I shut down the phone and restarted it but to no avail.
Now, just as suddenly, the contacts are back! But not all of them.Do you have a iTunes backup for your iPhone 4s? If so, you may refer to this blog to extract iPhone contacts from iPhone backup via iTunes
http://easy-iphone-recovery.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-extract-iphone-contacts- from.html
If you have not back up your iPhone, you may try the “Recover from iOS Device” mode with the iPhone contacts recovery software.
Please have a try. -

IPhone 4 has just deleted all my texts help
Hi, I just went to send an mms ( normally no problem) but as soon as I hit send th phone has wiped all my text messages from the last year that I have owned it,is it possible to get them back?
There is no way possible for your iphone to delete message by itself.
If your having issue with text - contact your cell phone provider as texting is a carrier feature.

My iPhone 3GS has frozen. It was going slow all day, and has now completely frozen on the turning off screen. Anyone any ideas? Thanks.
The iOs 5.1 is a huge file that needs to be dowloaded when updating/restoring, your phone hasnt completed the update so its now in recovery mode. Look on the left of itunes, it should say downloads under the store section with a spinning wheel, click that and youll see the update file with a time remaining, wait for that download to finish then try the restore again and it should work

My iphone 3GS has wiped out all my contacts and I need help to recover them. I tried a restore back up and a backup from itunes but I don't use itunes at all so I don't think it worked. I tried also wonderfone and some type of DFU mode and couldn't find the contacts. What can I do please help.
Go to settings do a reset when reset is done you will need to enter your Wireless key for your router. Then go to software updates and download new update 8.0.2 That help me. Bsydd uk

Recently my iPhone 3GS has stopped ringing all of a sudden. I've checked the settings and nothing has been changed. I've also made sure the switch on the side is not on silent/vibrate too.
The other day it rang once then went to vibrate.
Anyone have any idea?
The phone is just over a year old too
