HT4623 problem of iPhone 3GS

I am using iPhone 3GS, the battery is totally dead, I can't charge it.
And when I insert sim card, it keeps on close and open automatically.
Can it be repair or do you have any suggestions for me.
I knew that in HK, peolpe can pay around HK$700 and get a iPhone 4, is it the same in Thailand?

Error -1 generally indicates a hardware failure.Your phone's broken.  Buy a new phone, replace the phone through Apple or an authorised service provider, or find a 3rd party repair shop to attempt to fix it.

  • Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
    I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
    I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
    I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
    I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
    I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

  • I have very strange problem with Iphone 3gs. Whenever it gets little hot or exposed to 30 degree temperature it losses signals (No service). Whenever it is cooled down the service is back. Please help!

    I have very strange problem with iphone 3gs. Whenever it gets little hot or exposed to 30 degree or above temperature it losses signals (No service). Whenever it is cooled down the service is back. Whenever I am using Skype or playing game for a while it losses carrier signals and wifi. When it is cooled down afer shutting down the carrier signals and wifi are back. It is for sure problem is with heating, but 30 degree tempeature in Oman is normal and some time it goes upto 50 degrees. I have noticed this has started after I started using substandard charger as I lost my original charger of the phone. Please help!! Thanx.

    The specifications define an operating range up to 35 degrees.

  • Reception problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    AFter upgrading to 4.2.1, my 3GS iPhone is experiencing bad signal, bad quality and frequent disconnections.
    This was repeated even after my provider replaced my device to a different 3GS device, running 4.2.1.
    inserting my SIM card to a NOKIA phone, showed strong signal and good reception.
    Did anyone experience reception problems on 3GS running 4.2.1??
    Thanks,

  • Problems on iphone 3GS after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2., Problems on iphone 3GS after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2.

    Hello all,
    Some urgent help needed on the 3 problems listed on priority basis, as follows.
    P1 -> I upgraded to IOS6.1.2 on my iPhone 3GS last week and all worked fine for 2 days. Then, last Thursday (21st February) evening, the mail app started crashing and is currntly unusable. All efforts to Restart/Reset, have failed.
    P2 -> With the SMS app, there is no sound/vibrate available, whenever a message comes in. Pretty annoying!
    P3 -> There is extremely heavy battery drain, resulting in the phone having to be charged atleast 4-5 times a day.
    On the upside, after the upgrade, the phone works really fast.
    Could any of the gurus over her, offer any help or insights please?
    Thanks & Regards,
    sworld

    Backup, Restore in iTunes afresh, Setup as new, Sync personal data back with iTunes tab helps many.
    Cheers

  • Problems synching iPhone 3Gs with Address Book and Calender

    I have an iPhone 3Gs and have begun to notice that information is not being synched between Calender and the phone and Address Book and the phone. I now also have duplicate contacts for all contacts that were in my orginal iPhone before I upgraded. I suspect it has something to do with mobileme (which I don't subscribe to) and I have tried all the various synch options in iTunes. I know people have been having the problem and have solved theirs with the help of mobileme. How can I solve it without subscribing?

    Yes I have a similar problem.
    I lost all my contacts (today 23rd Mat 2011) on my 3G iPhone and the Address Book on my Mac Pro also.
    The contacts in my MS Outlook were intact  I run Outlook:Mac 2011.
    They have only just fixed the issue with the Calendar in this version 2 weeks ago an MS issue.
    I plugged in the iPhone last night to charge and synch and this morming the phone had no contacts and I had lost all the address Book I had some  group headings  (greyed out)
    It's almost like a plot to get Outlook users frustrated and make them switch but, Outlook is too good.
    Outlook:mac 2011 contacts does not synch with Mac address book

  • HT4623 Updated my iPhone 3gs yesterday (1st time ever).  Backing up content to icloud but would not quit.  Screen would not disappear.  Finally disconnected phone from computer and lost EVERYTHING.  Can I get it back?

    Updated my iPhone 3gs yesterday to ios 6 (first time ever).  Backed up my content to icloud, but it wouldn't quit.  Remained on that screen for HOURS.  Finally disconnected phone from computer.  Still would not go away--just the "circle of death."  Restarted phone and lost EVERYTHING (pics, contacts and apps).  Can I get them back?  Are they somewhere out in cyberspace or lost for good?

    You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
    When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
    So far I have tried the following to no avail:
    Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
    Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
    Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
    Reinstalled the latest itunes.
    Reset the ipod.
    Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
    Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
    Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
    At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

  • Terrible signal problem in iPhone 3GS

    Hi;
    I have old iPhone 3G. Which i lost over the last long weekend so i brought the new iPhone 3GS. we all know that iPhone has shaky 3G reception but 3GS is worse than 3G. In the same places where i was getting full signal now i am getting hardly any signal with my new 3GS.And sometimes when its going back to Edge in case bad 3G, it's not returning back to 3G automatically after i moveed to good reception area.
    Is there a problem with 3GS? or is it just secific to certain Handset. Please let me know. As per the input, i will take up with Apple.
    Thanks in Advance.

    First of all , please excuse me for my english.
    However i totally agree with infenitely.
    1) 1 person with a problem: is not an issue. 2 Persons: can be. Many persons (and in this forum seems to be this case) : is a problem. Many persons all around the world (this is my 5th forum this evening): is a statistical mess.
    2) Production processes : is something that i don't want to ear. I paid for something that had to have some characteristcs and (actually) it has half of what it was supposed to have. (in italy I paid 619 € for a 16gb).
    3) assistance: is not possible to spend 25 minutes calling the Italian Apple Phone Number (0,48 € per minute) and then the first time the call dropped and the second time the person told me "i'm afraid, i cannot help you, probably depends on you provider.." or some other stupid answers that shows the incompetence of this Apple Operator.
    I'm using it since one week ago (previously i had an iphone 3g) and right now this is what happened to me:
    a) if during a phone call i receive a Text Message or an email, sometimes the call drop, other times i start to ear a metallic rumor and i have to drop the call.
    b) with any reason the phone switch from 3g to GPRS (i don't have edge): i can say with any reason because the other phone i'm using for work (nokia E71) in the same place "on the other side of the table" has a full 3g signal.
    c) during the internet navigation, it freeze like if there is no signal and then i have to power off and then power on it to navigate again
    d) many times during the day it "says" no phone signal - impossible to do phone calls" (mre or less translating the italian phrase), when the other phones (mine and of my colleagues) has no problem.
    So is a statistical problem: the only thing i hope is to have the possibility to speak with someone of Apple Italia really expert that can help me on this trubles.
    Excuse me again for my English

  • Volume Problem in Iphone 3gs

    I have an iphone 3gs and suddenly after sometime, the volume switches off..
    i can only play songs.. but no volume..
    but after some time, if i plug my device for charging, the volume comes up or if i play a game the volume returns.
    Whats the problem??

    How are you listening? Via headphones, then internal speaker, or a dock? If it's a dock, in some cases output is controlled only by the dock system, not the iPhone itself.

  • No service problem in iPhone 3GS after upgrading to i.o.s 6.

    I updated my iPhone 3GS to i.o.s 6 and now i cant activate it.
    Showing NO SERVICE even with a valid sim card.
    Is there a solutio to get rid of this problem and get my phone working back?

    You could go to settings/general/reset and then reset network connections.  that might help.
    Or you could reboot the phone
    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears then let both buttons go and wait for the phone to restart.
