Iphone 3 wont turn on..not sure if it is screen just blank have tried restoring phone but still nothing :( please help
having trouble with iphone not turning on orsomething wrong with screen have tried restoring and restting it but still nothing??
This sounds like you have tried the steps I would recommend. You said, "tried restoring and restting it but still nothing??"
1. When you are done Restoring Firmware, does iTunes show your iPhone's information. If yes then your iPhone is ON and working. Next step is to Reset, like you tried, but do it again, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts, usually less than 15 seconds. If still no screen, hold iPhone in bright light and look at screen, is an image there? If yes, you have a "No Backlight Problem".
2. If still no image, but you have confirmed iPhone is on with iTunes or switching Vibrate Switch and getting vibration. Then take iPhone to Apple and ask Genius to reconnect the Flex Cable #1 LCD Display Flex to the Logic Board. Before opening and during all repairs it is best if the iPhone 3GS is OFF.

Plz help.
Hi BigMIKE29,
Not sure what "everything" entails, but have you tried a reset (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and conintue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Apple appears the reset is in progress, and the Home screen will display shortly.
Cheers,

Hey seelkodoomx360,
Thanks for the question. It looks like you are on the right track, as you have posted from the most relevant article. Have you attempted to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service?

I would also recommend Steps 5 and 6 of the article you came from:

Please help me. I recently got a new laptop fro Christmas and i have begun to sync all my music and apps etc onto my new laptop. However, music that i have previously purchased on my iphone will not sync to my current laptop. I have tried 'transfer purchases' but only some have transfered, i still have over 200 songs to import and they won't transfer from my iphone to my laptop. Please help, it is very irritating. Thanks.
Unless the iPhone was purchased as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.

I phone screen is blank, have tried holding both buttons but not working
I phone screen is blank, have tried holding both buttons to reset but still will not work any suggestions?
Hey damien1979,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 4. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
4. After at least 15 minutes, if:
- The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
- The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
- Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
5. If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
- If the display turns on, go to step 4.
- If the display remains black, go to next step.
6. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
7. If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

My messaging app is frozen and I can't text after I tried to spam my friend with a 15,000 character text. I hard closed the app and restarted my phone but still nothing. Please help.
I had the VERY same problem with a iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2. I did a hard reset and a full restore to factory settings and then a restore from a back up- nothing worked. I then read Cal4one's post on turning off the read text function (which I had just turned on days before to try out) and ta-da! all is well! I can now use Messages and when I go to attach a picture, the Photo library comes up quickly (it was not before the chance) and the Message app no longer crashes. Just to be safe, I turned off all reading functions in the Accessibility (settings/general/accessibility/speech) settings.

If it says your billing info is wrong that means that your credit card issuer is refusing to approve your account. You will have to solve the problem with your bank or credit card company.
