IOS4 Lifetime

Hello,
I am using iphone 3gs 32gb, after updating to iOS4, the lifetime timer does change in the IPhone . Lifetime is found under setting - General- Usage menu.
Does anyone have a solution or anyone facing the same problem .

Mine works fine. Restart your device. And don't post that here. Post it in the developer forums.

Problems with iOS4 and Google Mail (ActiveSync/Exchange)

So, I’m one of those people whose greatest virtue isn’t patience.
Minutes after its release I HAD to install iOS4 onto my iPhone 3GS. Since there’s no upgrade procedure implemented (yet?), upgrading took just short of a lifetime: the iPhone was completely wiped, then iTunes installed iOS4, then the backup was restored to the iPhone. All in all, an probably thanks to the enormously big Navigon app, this took almost 90 minutes.
Everything looked fine… but after a couple of hours of normal usage I ran into a “little” problem…
I unplugged the iPhone at around 10 am with a fully charged battery. After just four hours (during which I received 10 mails, 5 push messages and made one call of approx. 3 minutes) the battery was down to 63%. Normally it should still be in then 90s…
It seemed as if, somehow, Mail.app crashed and went wild – draining battery like crazy and heating up the device.
Back home, I deleted my Mail accounts, rebooted the iPhone, added my Mail accounts again (manually) and recharged the iPhone to the fullest.
During the next 5 hours (in a region with full 3G coverage) I received another 15 mails, 10 push notifications and 1 text message, which I also replied to.
The battery was down to 53%.
This morning, I downloaded the “iPhone Configuration Utility” to gain access to the iPhones “console output”. You can find the, in my eyes, relevant parts below this post.
There are some timeouts for com.apple.mobilemail.autofetch and a few reports of an EASIconnection dying with “Error Domain:NSURLErrorDomain Code=1001″ which obviously means “This operation couldn’t be completed”.
Furthermore, from time to time, the EASIASFolderItemsSyncTask fails.
As of now, I assume that this is some kind of problem between Mail.app on my iPhone and the Googlemail server, which I’m accessing via ActiveSync/Exchange, since I’d like to get my mails pushed to me.
I then deleted the Googlemail Exchange-Account and replaced it with the "normal" IMAP-Account. That works fine.
Right now I'm testing with other Exchange servers to see if this problem is on the iPhone/iOS part or on Google's side.
Anyone else noticing this?!

Mobile Me CONTACTS not coming down to iOS4 and lost visual voicemail

I updated my 3GS to iOS4 and everything seems to be working, howver my contacts haen't repopulated the phone form Mobile Me. they are all still there on Mobile Me, but when I go to contacts on the iPhone, there are none and unlike previously, opening contacts on the phone does not force a sync (no spinning clock-wheel)...
I have tried turning off the Mobile Me setting on the iphone and then restarting it, but still no contacts...
I also lost my visual voicemail.... when I go to voicemail, it wants me to physically dial up voicemail...
Any ideas here?

Try turning off push and instead fetch every 15 minutes. There seems to be a bug that prevents data from getting through on push. Hope they remedy this soon!
Huh? A "bug" would affect all devices using the OS. I have no idea what you are talking about as push worked just fine here after allowing a little time for my phone to be re-provisioned by the network. That took longer than normal due, I'm sure, to the large number of folks trying to do the same thing I was. And we've all hear AT&T whine that we evil iPhone users are breaking their network.

My iPod Touch can no longer download Podcast Videos after upgrading to iOS4

After upgrading OS 3.1.3 to iOS4, My iPod Touch (2nd Generation) can no longer download such video podcasts as NBC News, CBS News, ABC News and Cranky Geeks from iTunes store. The moment the download starts, there is always an annoying prompt "this video cannot be played on this iPod".
It's really frustrating!!!

Same thing happening to mine also, still cant find a reason.

No VM, No Edge/3G, random shut-downs since iOS4 Update after restores

I have followed all of the fixes I could find and I still do not have a notification that I have a vm, I do not get any internet service via 3G or Edge, and the phone shuts down and cannot be turned back on for for several minutes (happens randomly). This is so frustrating. I now have a phone that has had the iOS 4 reinstalled twice, it has been restored twice, I have a new vm PW, I have a new greeting, I have turned the airplane mode on and off, I have made all sorts of other setting changes per the forum. The only place my phone has data functionality is in my house and that is negligible. But I can't make phone calls in the house because the reception is so poor. Any other brilliant fix ideas from anyone (please help!)? I am so frustrated I could cry. This 3GS is useless to me now and I won;t be able to get a new phone until the next shipments come in. Those seem to be having their own issues too (which apple is blaming the user for or telling them to ride it out).

This fix worked for me - THANK YOU!!!!!
New! Re: Got Edge and 3G data working in iOS4 - Temp workaround!
Posted: Jun 25, 2010 11:31 AM in response to: Silvefox
I have figured out a fix for the Cellular Data, MMS, and VVM not working after upgrading to iOS 4. All of your data will still work with your phone but you will lose your camera roll so please back that up to your computer 1st. Also, initial reports are that this fix does work for iPhone 4 and will restore Face Time functionality.

"Ok guys, here it is another new fix that covers it all while maintaining your data. (CAUTION: Photos from the camera roll will not work after this method is complete so please back them up to the computer first. I'm not responsible if you lose your pictures.
This method is based off of dankirsh's SMS Restore method (Only fixes Cellular Data), loveturtle's Non-Corrupted APN Restore method (Only fixes Cellular Data), and my own unique concepts which seem to fix everything and keep data intact minus the photo roll.
Step 1:
Windows Users: Navigate to "X:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup"
Mac Users: Navigate to "~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup/"
NOTE: "X:" is the drive you installed Windows on and "User Name" is the name of your account on Windows.
Step 2:
Move all Backup files to another location to make sure the entire folder is empty.
Step 3:
Plug in your iPhone and perform a full backup.
Step 4:
After backup completes, disconnect the iPhone and copy the new folder under the backup directory to a separate location perferably named "Old" for ease of use.
Step 5:
After folder completes the copying delete it from the backup directory, NOT THE NEW LOCATION.
Step 6:
Plug in your iPhone and perform a full restore.
Step 7:
Upon completion of restore if iTunes asks to restore from a backup that you select a new configuration. While configuring the iPhone for new settings uncheck all sync boxes including Applications and Data. <-- (IMPORTANT)
Step 8:
Right click the iPhone and backup the iPhone.
Step 9:
Upon backup completion copy the new backup folder out of the previously mentioned location and copy it to a folder called "New".
Step 10:
Delete the backup that was recently created in the Backup folder.
Step 11:
Copy the backup located in the previously created "Old" folder to the Backup folder.
Step 12:
Upon completion of the copy go into the randomly named folder and delete a file named "8218978e4ab0a48035bb92653145a6be872ea858", then right click the iPhone in iTunes and select "Restore from Backup" and select "Ok" since this is the only backup in the folder.
Step 13:
Upon backup restoration completion let your iPhone sync itself with the computer and restore all of your applications. (At this point all is back to what it was like at the beginning of Step 1.)
Step 14:
After all of your Applications are synced navigate into the "New" folder and into the backup folder located inside of it, it will be named as a random string of numbers and letters.
Step 15:
Copy and overwrite the following files from the randomly named backup in the "New" folder to the "MobileSync\Backup\Randomly Named Backup" folder; "Manifest.mbdb", "Manifest.mbdx", and "Manifest.plist", they are located near the very bottom if sorted by name.
Step 16:
In iTunes right click the iPhone and "Restore Backup" once again since this is the only backup available, click ok.
Step 17:
iTunes will display an error and reboot the iPhone, this is normal.
Step 18:
Upon boot of the iPhone, check your Cellular Data, MMS, and VVM to verify all is working fine.
Step 19:
If all is working, delete any backup located in the "MobileSync" folder and perform a full backup again. As stated before, your camera roll will not work anymore for your old files. The files appear to be present on the iPhone but are corrupt and will be overwritten when a new photo is taken.
Enjoy your fully functioning iPhone once again and please keep your OLD backup files as I am not sure if the App Data will backup now. I will have to continue more testing with this.
FINAL NOTE: Resetting network settings did not break my iPhone after completing this method.
Update #1: Reports from a few users are indicating this method does work for the iPhone 4 and does fix Face Time. See post #68, #69, and #71 for more information."

IOS4 large Voice Memos won't sync

Hi,
I just upgraded my iPhone 3G(s) to iOS 4 yesterday and today I'm having problems with large Voice Memos. I use this heavily in my work with memos over 1 hour in length and never had a problem with syncing with my iTunes 9.2 (61) on my iMac/10.6.4.
Using iOS4 for the first time today I made 2 long recordings. One appears to have been corrupted on the iPhone (never happened before) and the other won't sync. I was able to pull both off using iPhone Explorer and the second can be added manually to iTunes and it plays fine.
Is there a bug in iOS4 Voice Memos for 3G(s) in this regard? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Bob

I have this problem as well on a iPhone 3GS with OS4. Seems that OS4 broke some things. I had a 2 hour recording that wouldn't play on the iPhone. iTunes would sync the recording, but when I tried to play it on the PC, the PC kept saying it was not a recognized format. Short recordings worked just fine, just not long ones. Even ones that were just 15 minutes wouldn't work.
Try this program for either the MAC or Windows. It works great. Iphone Explorer
http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/
(taken from a previous post on similiar subject)
Downloaded and installed iPhone Explorer. Looked in the recording directory on the iPhone and sure enough, there was a MOV version of the recording still on my iPhone that was 2 weeks old. Copied it to my desktop and it plays just fine. Thanks guys for pointing out iPhone Explorer. Also found other MOV versions of recordings in that directory that I thought were gone because they were lengthly recordings. Your right, APPLE needs to fix this issue. At some point, all of the left over MOV versions of the recordings will eventually fill up the data space on the iPhone.

IPhone 3GS with iOS4 - voice control does not work any more

Hi - I updated the OS of my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 and everything went well. But ever since I did the update the voice control comes back with strange results when I try to use it. It was working well enough with OS3. Has anybody the same problems and is there a solution?
Thanks,
Klaus

I'm experiencing basically the same as teardrop3d. I'm Australian (with voice settings on English (Australian)) and my 3Gs had at least 90% accuracy with both calls and music requests.
On iOS4 I've had a single correct result out of at least 30 attempts at using it.
Requesting "play playlist <name>" will often either start calling a seemingly random person from my phone book (different each time anyway) or sometimes a seemingly random number (I don't know where the number comes from, it's not in my phone book). Sometimes it'll actually offer to play music, usually a specific artist (not a playlist) and occasionally a playlist (but so far never the right one).
Requesting "call <name> <number type>" has worked once correctly, but usually just tries to call a seemingly random number from my phone book (or a number I don't know, not in my phonebook...).
As teardrop3d notes, the voice control screen stays up for about 2-4 seconds after I finish talking. It doesn't seem to be recording during this time, as the waveform stops responding to my voice but the screen sits there (with words moving past in the background still) as if its waiting for me to keep talking.
I've tried talking in different accents to no avail, and didn't get any better results with a different English language setting on the Voice Control (I'm not sure if that's actually listening for different accents or just responding in a different accent?)
This feature which I used to use multiple times a day to avoid having to take my phone out of my pocket while walking/riding is now useless. I continue to test it each day to see if it ever works, or if there are any behaviours that change it (e.g. locked vs unlocked or with music playing/not playing when I press/hold the mic-button, etc) but so far haven't found any workarounds.

IPhone iOS4 Exchange emails continue to re-download.

We have several iPhone iOS4 users whose emails download, disappear and re-download. Seems to be a continuous loop. Tried the following solutions:
1. Delete and re-create Exchange account on iPhone.
2. Reset Network settings.
3. Installed network config profile.
Any ideas?

Something like this came up a year or more ago and the conclusion was that it was to do with the way Exchange handles users who are barred from the server - a setting in which users are seen by Exchange to be no longer on the authorised access list and so all the company content is deleted. And then it comes back .... but I don;t think anyone found a solution as it was an intermittent issue.

When Updating to IOS4 Do Not Say Yes to Udpate Changes to Settings

I updated my iPhone 3g to IOS4 on release date. OK You can stop laughing at me know, I got screwed over but I was lucky.
I couldn't get the OS to install using the update so I did the work around and downloaded the OS into iTunes and did a backup and then a restore. I had read a couple of threads that said this would work a lot faster than doing the update. I had waited nearly three hours for the update to finish so I figured it was the combination of my creaky old PC, iTunes and one of the apps on my phone so I tried the restore instead of update trick. It actually worked and only took about 30 minutes start to finish.
BUT when it was done I got a dialog box telling me that I had changed my settings and did I want to apply this change to my phone <YES> or <NO>? Without thinking about it I clicked yes and my phone did another sync. I lost my address book, email and text messages all in one fell swoop. Can you spell panic and nausea? I thought you could.
I was all over the web looking for ways to restore my stuff. I tried another sync because the last one I did before installing the new OS should have still been there...No Luck.
I tried everything I could think of and nothing worked. I wasn't too worried about my email, because of course it was still out on the web (Gmail Rocks!!)
Then it occurred to me, I had been using Gmail and GSync. I set up a new G-Sync account on my phone and set it to running. It took about 24 hours total, but all of my email, contacts and text messages restored themselves to my phone wirelessly.
So I strongly recommend that you do not apply changes to your phone when you do the IOS4 update. At least not the first time around. I also do not recommend using the restore in place of update workaround. Just let the update run (and run and run and run and, well you get it)until it finishes. You should get a clean install and a total restore of your music, contacts, apps, email, etc. I have no idea why an update on an 8 Gb iPhone needs to take hours, but apparently it just does.
So to sum up:
If updating to IOS4 use the update in iTunes not restore
At the end of the update DO NOT apply changes to settings
DO use gmail and G-Sync or another email that backs up your address book to the web.

Fixed it......
The problem was my Apps library in iTunes was not populated with the apps on my phone after the update of iTunes and iOS4. Therefore, that is why I "lost" them visually. Now, had I gone and hit "Apply" I would have been screwed, since nothing was in my iTunes App library.....Sneaky.....
In iTunes, File>"Transfer Purchases from iPhone"
This populates the iTunes App library with the apps on your device. It will take a few minutes, but all of the apps will now show up when you go back and try to sync the iPhone.

Nice, I'm not stupid.
Thanks for the chime-ins everybody!

IOS4 update = lost contacts, apps crash and cannot sync my music need help

I like many had no problems with updating in the past. I even enjoyed the days off an update just to get to grips with new features. This experience has been abolished with the IOS4. I’ve had my 3G for just over a year (just). I came to update to the IOS4. The update took a long time but I got there in the end. However when iTunes sync came into play is where Im having problems my apps moved across no problems but then I got iTunes couldn’t back up my iPhone because the computer wouldn’t allow. I googled this and came to apples support guide on the matter. which was just delete the back up file in preferences (before I did this I did get a text from someone I know but his name wasn’t coming up just the number I feared then Id lost my contacts) so I did delete my back up. but then the next problem was iTunes couldn’t backup because of an unknown error (-20) (I’ve researched this unknown error and I can’t find anything on it) so I restored the software on iTunes and still I get this error
so now Im left with a iPhone with no music, no contacts, no saved app data even apps crash on start. I read on softpedia (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Apple-Knew-iPhone-3G-Owners-Would-Run-Into-iOS-4- Upgrade-Problems-Customer-Claims-145332.shtml) that an apple employee suggested that apple knew this was going to be a problem and there will be a fix at a later date after the iphone4 and IOS4 rollout and either to wait for this, or buy an iphone 4. To simply buy an iPhone 4 is not an option I bought my phone outright on a payandgo and Im disgusted that an apple employee can even suggest that. now that I know Im not alone on this I want to know just what apple are going to do to fix this asap (for the money I paid I could off got a decent laptop with Skype) I expect and demand a resolution to my problem that isn’t going to cost me more time and money than it already has.

just an update,
after reading that some people who are contacting customer support were having some success in fix/getting the iphone replaced. I decided to do the same after going through some testing with the customer care assistant. he told me that I should uninstall itunes and other apple software and reinstall itunes.
uninstall itunes, quicktime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support in that order
it didnt help me but I have now a referance number and I have to ring back tomorrow. the funny thing was that when the customer support guy was putting me on hold to find this resolution he told me that 'this is strange because we have not had this problem or any problems with our update on this phone'.........
I corrected the man and told him 'well, with respect if you was to go on your support forum you will find page after page of people with similar problems not getting answered'
and now im seeing people are having problems with the iphone4 lmfao

Mobile me contacts screwed up with IOS4

I upgraded to IOS4 with no problem. However, my contacts were messed up. I did not previously sync my contacts with Outlook on my PC - I synced with Mobile me.
After the upgrade, iTunes sync'd my contacts with Outlook and I had ovber 200 duplicates and lost my Mobile me contacts. After a lot of messing about I eventually got my Mobile me contacts m,ostly fixed but still have the Outlook contacts on mmy iPhone! I now have 2 contacts groups on my phone - "All on my iPhone" and "All [email protected]". When I look at All Contacts, some are randomly duplicated! Any ideas on how to remove the iPhone group without having to manually delete?

I have run into a similar problem that is frankly a joke that Apple has not posted a fix for this. I bought a new iphone 4, synced to my computer from a backup thinking I want the same setup on my new phone instead of syncing as new, and all of a sudden not only are my contacts duplicated, they are also merged so it's completely messed up since somehow it moved numbers and emails around and stuck them on other contacts so it's not just a matter of deleting contacts, I would now have to completely redo my address book. Fortunately I have a backup and will have to reconfigure everything but it's sad that Apple can't provide some guidelines on setting up a new phone.

How do I get my new iphone restored with my old backup? my old iphone had ios5 and the replacement phone i got has ios4 and it wont let me backup my phone because it doesnt have ios4... i cant get ios5 without restoring my iphone and backing it uo

Basically, i need all my old stuff from my iphone 4 with ios5 onto my new iphone 4. The new phone i received only had ios4. I went to get all my contacts and backup from my old phone onto my new phone and it wont let me because my new phone is only ios4 and my backup from my old phone was in ios5. I cant get ios5 on my phone without creating a new backup of my new phone, which has nothing on it. If i restore it as a new phone and backup virtually nothing from my new phone, will that get rid of all my old backup stuff from my old iphone?

Bottom line is you CANNOT restore to a phone from a backup that has a more recent iOS which is what you're trying to do. Just can't be done.

HT4972 why cant i update my sons iphone 3gs to ios5 from ios4? it wont let me download him any apps?

my sons iphone3gs has ios4 and it wont let me download any apps i need to update it to ios5 but dont know how ?!?!

IF you actually have a 3GS, follow the instructions in the article from which the question was posted and you will be able to update to iOS6.
If you have a 3G, iOS 4.2.1 is as high as it can go.
