IOS 6.0.1 iphone 3gs cannot enter passcode after reboot

With iOS 6.0.1 installed on my iphone 3gs (A1303), the first enter passcode screen that appears after a reboot (power off, then power on) will not allow a passcode to be entered.
Workaround: turn off (not power off), then turn back on. The second time the enter passcode screen is displayed after power on, it accepts a passcode.
This must be a bug in iOS 6. How can a bug that requires zero steps after power on get through Apple QA?

So, was there a tech support question that, we, the other users on the forum could help you with?

IPhone 3GS All folders disappeared after reboot.

Hi,
I am using ihone 3GS jailbroken and unlocked in India. During unlocking the version was downgraded from 5.1 version to 4.1
As it was password protected, my little kid was pressing some buttons and it got rebooted.
But after it came up I just see my default wallpaper with no apps or folders. It shows network operator and battery information on top and I am able to receive incoming calls and talk. The ringtone is the cusotm ringtone which I had set.
But I cannot dial outgoing call as no keypad is available. It almost is blank and moreover iTunes is not detecting when I connect it to my Windows PC.
I would really appreciate any help on this.
Thanks & regards,
Sudhir

Hi,

When I try to search for any app it says "Unsupported URL".
Please help.

IPhone 3GS cannot access to 3G network after upgrading to OS 5

My iPhone 3GS cannot access the 3G network after upgrading to OS5. I have checked with my operator and shows that their 3G network is working fine. Only cannot access through the phone. When I enable 3G, there will be no service for my phone. Wifi is working fine.
Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks, I will try this method. After restore and syn, will it automatically upgrade back to OS5?
No. If you have 5.0.1, then you will get 5.0.1 back. Restoring should still fix it though. I would prefer to have you back up to iCloud, because there are many known issues/errors when trying to restore via iTunes on iOS 5 or later.

Thanks for your help!

IPhone 3GS cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-39).

My iPhone 3GS won't sync. I get an error message in Step 5 of 5 when it's trying to delete photos. The message says "The iPhone "iPhone 3GS" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-39)."
How do I fix this? Is there anyone out there who can please help?

Try restarting your phone and computer, use a different USB cord, use a different usb port on your computer. Try these to see if any of them help. Good luck!

In iOS 5 on the iphone 3gs, how does one disable voice control, not voice dailing. I have never wanted or used voice control please help me disable it.

are you talking about voiceover where the phone is reading things out loud to you? you have to double tap things in voiceover in order to select them. you'll need to go to settings > general > accessibility > and turn off voiceover there

You can only purchase apps and other media for the county's sore in which yu are located. You account, included payment method, also must be associated with that country.
Sam applies for updating apps. Note that not all apps are available in all country so y will not be able to update an app if you are in another country and that app is not available in that country or your account is not associated with that country.
You can change the country and other things by:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account

When will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

when will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

As you know, iOS 7 applies to the iPhone 4 and above.
I advise you not to ever expect iOS 7 for the iPhone 3GS. Historically, Apple has never released a version of iOS that did not include some older hardware, and later come back to include that hardware.

HT4623 How can I retrieve my Contacts that I lost after updating iOs 6 on my iPhone 3GS through wifi?

I lost all my Contacts after updating iOS 6 on my iPhone 3GS through wifi. All my other apps, Notes, Photos, etc are as it is but none of my Contacts appear. I also signed up to iCloud during the update but can't find Contacts on iClouds. Pls help!

It is strange people experience this problem only with Contacts because normally contacts are backed up with Notes and Photos and that stuff. If you are willing to do a do-over, you can try to backup, restore, and put your data back on again and see if anything new appears. You never know if some file clould have had some kind of conflict because iOS 6 was being installed while data was being restored at the same time.

IOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen

After installing iOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS is stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen. I can turn the phone off by holding the top button. But the phone boots straight to the flashing situation. It doesn't appear in iTunes, and I haven't succeeded in putting into recovery mode.

in the end ... i did it too.
for sure, the problem is not related to OTA update
this is my recipe, even if i think that the behaviour is a kind of random and all the recipes given here do not really help
- absolutely needed: cross your finger before running the procedure
- leave the battery run flat
- open itunes
- connect usb
- when it starts booting, press home and keep it pressed
- if it loops (it will ...), try to turn it off with power button while keeping home
- after a few tries, it will not reboot and it will go into recovery mode BUT WITH SCREEN BLACK (you see it is in recovery mode in itunes)
- upload ios5b7
anyway ... this time it was a bad release by apple ...
and i think this thread will become very "popular" in the next days

IPhone 3GS Audio Volume Decrease After iOS 5 Update

The Audio/Volume on my iPhone 3GS has Decrease SIGNIFICANTLY After iOS 5 Update. Oddly, the volume of the ring is fine, and as lout as it used to be, and as loud as all other audio should be, but when using any 3rd party applications, the volume output is significantly less (about 40% less) than it used to be.
I am NOT the only person to experience this problem. Apparently, the issue has been around since this past summer, when iOS was still being developed / tested. There is a post about someone experiencing the same issue, here:
http://modmyi.com/forums/general-iphone-chat/768919-ios-5-low-volume.html
And before you ask .. I did a language change and reset, and I am still experiencing the SAME issue.
Any help or advice with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
In advance, thank you.

I have a similar or related problem with iOS5/3GS and volume:

In my case I can hear nothing from the internal speakers although I can use headphones. The volume slider bar is unavailable unless I plug in headphones.

Ios 5 update on iphone 3gs takes 36 hours???

ios 5 update on iphone 3gs takes 36 HOURS??? that's the msg i got when i tried to update to ios 5! what the? has anyone run into similar issues when updating their 3gs? Could it be due to the apple servers being overloaded really? Then how come my housemates had no issues updating their iphone 4 to ios 5? is it coz mine's an iphone 3gs?

Had to restore the phone to fix, after making sure all the possible settings everywhere were United States and English, but it worked. Still find it amazing that an update would change so many settings in so many places, especially the ones that aren't on the phone.
