How do you recalibrate the tilt sensor on an iPhone 3GS?

Hi,
I have noticed that the tilt sensor on my 3GS is out, so that of I am playing a game I have to tilt the handset quite far to the right for it to actually turn that way. Is this a known issue with the tilt sensor? Is there a way to recalibrate the sensor? Or is this a software issue?
Cheers for any help or advice,

This is most likely a software issue in the app you are you are yousing.
Try closing the app from the multitasking bar
1. double tapp the home button from the home screen, then you should get a pop up bar at the bottom of the screen.
2. Hold the app that was giving you problems, that should make them wiggle.
3.  Next kill the app and open it again** BUT this time leave it flat on the table while the app is opening.** ( some times the app takes the current position as straight, even though its not.)
Hope this helps.

    How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone. 

    Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
    Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.

    How do you turn the cloud OFF on an iPhone 4s? I don't use the cloud, but my phone keeps telling me there's not enough storage to back my phone up.

    iCloud is probably being used to store your Contacts so perhaps you really just want to turn off iCloud backups. Use the Settings app.
    Settings > iCloud > Turn off Backup
    After you turn off iCloud backup be sure to initiate some other backup strategy. Backing up to iTunes is a good alternative.

  • How do you elimanate the restriction Passcode on a IPhone 4 as I forgot the password?

    How do you eliminate the "Restriction Passcode" on a IPhone 4 as I forgot the password?
    I have done a backup and I have done a Restore and I still have the Restriction Passcode On.
    My main objective is to wipe out this phone to manufactures specifications.

    I had the same problem with my iPhone 5C. After trying several YouTube solutions involving CopyBot, which did not work, I finally figured out how to get rid of the restrictions passcode.
    1. Back up your phone to icloud. You will want to be sure you have synced your phone to your laptop as well to access your contacts and photos again.
    2. Make sure you have "Find my Phone" activated on your phone.
    3. On a laptop or other device, go to www.icloud.com/#find.
    4. Login and after the site finds your phone's location, click on the "All Devices" arrow and select your phone.
    5. Select Erase iphone. You will see it erasing on your phone. Don't panic!
    6. When your phone restarts, it will take you through the setup process. YOU WANT TO SET IT UP AS A NEW PHONE! If you restore a backup you will still have the passcode in play.
    7. During the set up, your phone should automatically restore your contacts; however, you may need to upload your photos and music manually.
    8. The restrictions passcode will no longer be on your phone! You will need to download your purchased apps again. This is a bummer, but at least you got past the restrictions passcode.
    I know this worked for the 5c, I can only assume it will work for all versions of the iphone, but I am not an expert.

  • How do you increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon ). The phone volume is fine. It is when I retrieve voicemails. Even the speakerphone is faint. I have adjusted the side volume buttons and the volume control in settings.What am I missing?

    How do I increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon )? The phone volume is fine. I have adjusted both side volume buttons as well as the volume control in settings.

    Number one - that person has given you false information...the Apple store genius bar supports all Apple products whether in or out of warranty.  Checking is free, service on an out of warranty item is not free.
    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    Since you show that you have iOS 7.0.3 you might want to update that iOS to 7.0.4...plug the iPhone in so you are on a solid power source, then while on a WiFi go to Settings > General > Software Update and update to 7.0.4.

  • How do you wipe the info from your old iPhone

    How do you wipe the info off of your old iPhone ?

    Before you erase your phone, you need to first delete the iCloud account, sign out of FaceTime & iMessage. If you don't, this phone will still be linked to your Apple ID. Once you do that: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.
    But, delete iCloud & turn the other stuff off first...important you do this.

  • How do I reinstall the driver software for my iphone 3gs to my PC?

    Hi there,
    I accidentally deleted the driver software for my iPhone 3GS and don't know how to get it back.
    My computer is a Windows Vista and I can still sync to iTunes and sync music and photos etc. But I want to use internet tethering for an internet connection on my computer which I have done previously. One day I was mucking around with the tethering and I accidentally deleted my iPhone from the computer. I went to reinstall it and and it searched for the driver software which it could not find on my computer, after this it asked for a disc so it could search for the software on that. My phone never came with a disc originally and I didn't have this problem when I first got my iPhone and initially installed it. So I chose the option that I didn't have a disc, the next options are to browse manually or search for another option and both of those failed (I chose a manual locotion on the computer where I thought it might be which was: (C:)/Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support/Drivers, but this didn't work.) The computer still recognises my phone and all it just needs to install it.
    I would be pleased if I could get any sort of reply guys.

    Probably only way is to call Applecare in your country and they may tell you who holds the lock. IIRC you IMEI and serial # are required

    If it's runniong iOS 7 then when he left he left activation lock behind. Without hte proper credentials you cannot remove the apple id off the device if he turned on "Find my iPhone" via iCloud.

  • How do you get the passcode on reset your iPhone

    how doyou get your passcode to reset your iphone

    If you don't know the passcode you will have to restore the phone. If you use the computer that the phone last synced to it will remove the passcode. For any other computer you will have to use Recovery mode, which will erase everything on the phone.
