How to FIX your iPhone 3G and iOS4 PROBLEMS!

Does anyone know how to fix my crippled iPhone 3G after I updated to 4.0.1?

The only way to go back to the old software has been described for you. It is not officially sanctioned by Apple. They do not provide a way to go back to former software. There is not currently a fix in iTunes, as the only thing iTunes does is provide a conduit for you to update firmware.
As provided before, Apple is addressing the issues with 3G and 3GS phones running slow with iOS4. According to developers with access to the iOS4.1 beta, it has been addressed there. You will have to either try the Genius bar as suggested, and I understand the distance issue, or you will have to wait for iOS4.1 to be released. If a restore as a new phone and a DFU restore do not work, then I'm not aware of any other alternative except what was provided above.
Edit: You might try and delete the iOS that you have on the computer and let iTunes download a brand new one. That might help.

  • New) How to fix your iPhone 5 wifi

    You know I was having problems with wifi on my 2 iPhone 5. But to day I think I fixed my wifi issues bad adding wifi range extender that's cost me $60. Just get one of those wifi extender and plug it up to the wall anywhere close to your wifi router and set up a little bit and get it to work really good. I amaze when I installed it I got a good long range of wifi extend up to more the 25" and get good full signal on your phone or any devices. I'm glade I use it. Now I don't have any problem with my iPhone 5 signal. I can connect to my home wifi with this Extender up to more the 25" away. Because before I couldn't use more then 10" away from wifi. So if you're having problem with your wifi TRY adding wifi signal extender for $60 from Bestbuy or Walmart . Thanks for reading

    In many parts of the world all anyone has in their dwelling is an extra 25'.  It is possible that the experience talked about is not the limits of the extended Wi-Fi Network range, but rather the limits of the dwelling. 

  • How to fix your Nokia N97 and N97 mini

    Hi al
    As my previous post was deleted by the moderators here is a quick overview of how to resolve many issues with your Nokia N97 or N97 mini.
    You like myself maybe having issues with freezes, applications not working properly, rebooting, home screen disappearing etc.
    This I have found is due to Nokias firmware being modified by companies like 3 mobile/optus/telstra vodaphone etc. they modify the software to suit their requirmeents , but in the process cause issues with the software so it stops the phone from working properly.
    To remedy this. Take the phone to your telco/mobile phone network operator and ask for them to authorise Nokia to update the firmware on your phone. once this permission is given you take it to Nokia and they will update the software with the correct version of the firmware for that phone.
    Once this is done you should see no more issues with the phone and it should work well. Removing the original carriers "version" of the software seems to fix it, but you must have written permission from your carrier to Nokia to do this.
    Cheers

  • How to fix your iPhone 4 after you have been disabled from trying too many pass codes after the update? I haven't used a passcode in so long I can't remember it.

    I downloaded the new IOS 7 and it asked for a pass code to unlock it when it finished, however, I haven't used a pass code in so long, I don't remember what it is!  I have tried all I have ever used and still no luck. Now my phone is disabled and I can't use my new operating system! Very disappointed!

    On two 3G phones in my household, that was only a temporary fix. But I suppose some people's phones are behaving differently. Let us know if you still feel you've solved the issue in a few days.

  • How to fix your iphone constantly switching read emails to unread, how to fix your iphone constantly switching read emails to unread

    So scrolling through other forums this issue was posed in september, and apple was apparently fixing it. I haven't had a problem with my email switching read emails to unread and sending 1600 "unread" messages to my phone until today. I updated to IOS7 when it came out which was weeks ago, and haven't had an available update. I have tried all posted "solutions" and nothing works. Any other suggestions? or time when this bug will be fixed?

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • IPhone 3GS and iOS4 problems! PLEASE help!!

    yesterday i updated to iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS. everything was going well except my iphone would restart whenever it liked.
    so i connected to iTunes & decided to restore it back to its factory settings to try and resolve the issue. now, the iphone screen says connect to itunes with the picture of the usb and itunes. and when i try to restore, "unknown error 29" comes up.
    i don't know what to do anymore.

    Ok this is wat happened to my iPhone 3GS after I opted to upgrade to iOS4.0:
    After the upgrade file finished downloading, the installation process got initiated. However, after a few minutes, the process crashed throwing up an Error 1602. My phone just displayed the connect to itunes logo. I did a hard reset (by pushing the home button & the power on/off button simultaneously) and the phone entered the recovery mode (or DFU or watever it is called). I reopened itunes and connected the iphone again. This time, I was told that the phone has been detected on recovery mode. I clicked RESTORE & it told me that the phone would be restored to factory settings,which I chose. The recovery process started and after a coupla minutes, I got another error. This time it was Error 1601.
    After spending a good 2 hrs researching the internet, I found the solution that did work for me. Here goes...U would need another computer for this (not the one u have been using to sync ur iphone with):
    1) Install itunes 9.2 on another computer.
    2) Connect ur iphone (while it displays the connect to itunes logo).
    3) itunes will detect an iphone on recovery mode.
    4) Click Restore. itunes will tell u that ur phone can be restored to factory settings. Choose OK.
    5) itunes will automatically download iOS 4.0
    6) once the download is complete, installation of iOS 4 should start immediately. if for some weird reason it doesnt initiate, press shift+restore and select the installation file (it is located in C:\Documenst & Settings\User\Application Data\Apple Computer\itunes\iphone software updates\xxxxx.ipsw )
    7) Once u've selected this file, installation will start & ull get a progress bar on ur iphone as well.
    8) The installation should come around fine & after a coupla automatic reboots, ur iPhone should now be up & running with iOS 4.0
    9) Itunes will ask you to name ur iphone. at this point, eject the iphone from the computer & connect it to the other computer (the one which u previously used to sync the iphone with). open itunes & ull get 2 options: Create a new iphone or restore backup from "Sandy's iPhone" [ur iphone's name]. Choose the 2nd option & watch ur iphone being restored with all ur backup.\
    10) once the sync is complete, eject & enjoy iOS 4
    Phew
    Cheers!!!

    Hello, Chryslers6.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to update your iPhone 5c via the over-the-air option.  You will need to be connected to power and a Wi-Fi source to use this option.  You should be able to do this while being connected to any Wi-Fi network.  You also have the option to update via iTunes.  The article below will walk you through the process of updating your iPhone.  
    Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

  • My iphone 4 screen turns into blue, and i can't do anything because my power button is broken. How to fix my iphone back? Please help me

    my iphone 4 screen turns into blue, and i can't do anything because my power button is broken. How to fix my iphone back? Please help me

    I am having the SAME exact problem! Except instead of lock button broken it's my home button so I can't do the whole "put in recovery mode" deal. My screen only says "tap the home button 3 times" and it has my screen locked until I hit the home button but since it is broken I can't get in my phone at all. I have all of my work info in my phone so I'm screwed and can't get any help. PLEASE let me know if you find a way around this...!!!
    Thanks!

    I reset my phone and it now receives calls that were meant for my husband. I know how to fix this with messaging and facetime, but can't seem to find how to make it stop with the calls. Please help.

    It may be due to Continuity
    The following quote is from  Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

  • I went in you tube and watched videos on how to fix my headphone jack and its not the headphones cause when I look inside I see this little white costing in there I think that's the problem how can I fix it

    I went in you tube and watched videos on how to fix my headphone jack and its not the headphones cause when I look inside I see this little white costing in there I think that's the problem how can I fix it

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Make sure that y do not leave any foreign material or leave anything in the jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • How to fix my iphone's blinking logo...............

    How to fix my iphone's blinking logo...............i even tried to restore it from itunes but it is just like that...some1 plz help

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
