Iphone 3g 16gb destroyed my gps devices
I was riding my motorcycle. Inside my tank bag was my iphone and in a zippered pouch above it
Was my gps navigation unit. I would stop and see my progress along the way. At a point in time the units
Screen went black. Iphone kill number one.
Second kill was my suunto x10 military gps wrist computer.
Has anyone had their gps fail while owning an iphone?
I forgot to add, since the iphone hijack jailbroken piece of garbage ips debacle,
I have since sold my 12 inch powerbook and my iphone 3g.
Apple lost a good customer.

Best advice is, return broken device for repairs and then ask why it was broken. Assuming the cause was the iPhone just because it was near the broken device, may be too early conclusion.

I’m interested in purchasing an American iPhone 4 16GB Black “Unlocked” for International usage. I spend 85% of my time traveling in Northern Africa, Europe, and Middle-East, and on an occasion Asia. I need a phone that can meet my demanding travel needs, schedule, in-and-out of a variety of time zones and service providers. Question: Is the iphone 4 16GB “Unlocked” that communication device I can rely on to meet my demanding needs? If so, I’ll be in the Washington DC area on Friday, November 5 2010, through Sunday, November 7, 2010, and would like to know the availability, and where I could purchase an iPhone 4 16GB “Unlocked.”
All iphone purchased in U.S are carrier locked to AT&T regardless if it's under a contract or a no-contract. there is no official way to unlock them as Apple nor AT&T unlocks them.
If you really need a factory unlocked iphone, then you probably need to check out the Canadian Apple online store which you need an active billing and shipping address in Canada. If your billing and shipping is not in Canada, they won't ship it out. Same goes for UK. you can purchase one on the online store in UK. and the same rule applies. -
Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.
This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3. -
My iPhone 3GS 16gb, is stuck in restore mode, downloaded and tried to do a restore multiple times. Keep getting an error The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. Unknown error occured (-1). Cannot get it out of restore mode, keeps rebooting!
I have tried to hold the "home" and "power" button to reboot
I have tried powering it off
I have tried, to unplug the cable, hold the "home" button and then plug it in.
Can't check the SN or warranty, cause it is stuck in restore mode.
Is the hard drive gone? Should there be something replaced.http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1
Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice. -
I'm so angry!! I bought my iphone as 16GB and it fills up to 13.2 GB only!! I think a software will not fill 2.8 GB (ps: still didn't download the new software!)
16 GB is a rounded up or rounded down value -- it makes it easier when advertising a product. I don't have an iPhone but almost always it is a rounded up value, so you start off with a bit less.
See the link by Stedman1 about how computer mathematics makes this less. When advertising they use 16 GB in base ten terms, but when your device uses base 2 which means it is shown as less.
Don't forget simply formatting a drive for use in an electronic device will use some space. No files on it yet that you see.
Your phone comes with some version of iOS. This will take up space and that is not factored in advertising a device.
This kind of space reporting has taken place since the first computers were sold. It's nothing new and all electronics manufacturers do it. -

IPhone 3g 16gb recovery/restore loop
2 recent iPhone 4s working ok since day 1. I (Dad) inherit 2yr old (out of warranty) iPhone 3g 16gb. Recently the phone went into the WSOD, Apple Logo, Recovery, Restore loop (was connected to car audio). Phone has not had any other problems since day one. Not jailbroken or unlocked. Rogers sim inside no longer active (iPod & Wifi usage).
Research week & tried every suggestion to do a phone restore/upgrade in order to get it out of the "Recovery Mode" loop (3 hours per day x 7).
Here is my list:
Full Battery - charges ok
Firewall - turned off
Disabled AV
Reinstall iTunes (recent & old)
# software suggestions to Enter & Exit Loop
Different PC - 5, USB ports, direct, USB Cables (Apple old & new)
Different modes - DFU, Emergency
Nothing else running on PC
PC makes noise when connects & disconnects
"Dock Connector" replaced - error 9 suggestion - no difference (old dock ok)
PC recognizes iPhone - assume usb drivers ok - Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) USB Driver - no errors
During the restore process, consistently error 9 s out within seconds of (Apple Logo above empty bar) "Waiting for iPhone"
Suggestions & Help is always appreciated, perhaps this list will help someone else with the similar journey. Hard not to think that this is a software/firmware issue (But then always careful with sure bet advice!).Tx x 2 I did read the information from Apple that you just posted. Note in my original post I do discuss trying all these combinations and permutations w.r.t. USB isolation/variation (only thing I have not tried is an OS other than Win 7 (XP or Vista) or via a MAC) - even having the dock connector replaced.
I have not gone to the Apple Store (and have no intent on doing so) and yes it is possible the phone is defective - would boil down to the logic board imho. The phone is out of warranty (again as stated above 2+ years old). This translates into swapping the device or paying for consulting time - given the resale market does not make economic sense imho.
The original intent of posting in this forum is that I have the sense a number of hardware ok iPhones (perhaps including mine) appear to be having firmware/software issues - reproduceable error 9 - the device connects and disconnects from the pc up until the "Waiting for iPhone" -

IPhone 3G 16gb Backing Up forever, takes over 2.5 hours, free space is 92%
I have an iPhone 3G 16GB. It is on OS 3.0.1. I have been trying to back up that phone for a while now on both iTunes 8.1 and iTunes 8.2. It gets stuck around 60% and never moves for a long long while - over an hour and half. Today, I won the battle of wits and found out that it takes over 2.5 hours to backup. The clincher is my iPhone is about 92% empty!!!
Any idea why it is taking such a long time? I have my iPhone password-protected, so the backup must be getting encrypted, I can understand. But even then, 2.5 hours for backing up about a GB is just not happening to a phone on this side of the millennium.some things to try:
if you are using a pc, try disabling any antivirus or anti malware software and try another sync... if it doesn't speed up disable the firewall and try a sync. remember to re-enable any of the above after you are done syncing.
if you are using a mac and have little snitch running disable it then close and reopen itunes and try again... don't forget to turn little snitch back on when done
if neither of those things work some have had luck removing the backup files from their machines (itunes -> Edit, Preferences -> Devices tab , select your backup and click "delete backup") close and restart itunes then force a backup manually (under devices in itune's main screen right click your iphone and choose "Back up")
be well -
I bought an iPhone 5; 16GB and after updating to ios 7 am unable to bypass the activation screen because am told is locked to the owner's iCloud account but I can't contact the owner. What can i do to rectify the situation. Bought the phone for $500.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818:
What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account. -
just bought a new iphone 4s 16gb my sim worked correctly after puting and old profile on the phone so I could get all the info now it says invalid sim what can I do o fix this?
I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

New iPhone 3g 16gb drops internet connection (must be reset)
I just picked up an iPhone 3g 16gb Black and love it. Its truely an amazing device, however I am having 1 major issue.
The Internet connection constantly dies on me...
As an example:
This morning woke up, and downloaded an app from the app-store using 3g. Drove to work, and then tried to check my email. The phone gets stuck in a connecting loop in the mail app. I switch to App-Store it stuck trying to connect. All the while the little swirling icon is going in the top bar.
The only way to regain internet connectivity is to reboot the phone or go into the settings and disable and re-enable the 3g.
I am in a 3g area, my previous phone, an AT&T Tilt never had 3g issues...
I love the phone but this is driving me crazy...
Anyone have any advice or help?
Thanks,
Rich P.One thing that might help.
When checking for email and it seems to keep trying to connect, hold down the home button and keep down until the iphone goes back to the home screen.
Also, you can reset the iphone by holding down the home and power button at the same time until you see an apple logo.
Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
Hope this helps. -
Can I exchange iPhone 5 16GB to 32GB? And how much it cost me? I am in UK
Can I exchange iPhone 5 16GB to 32GB? And how much it cost me? I am in UK
If you are still in the return window, then it can be returned and there will likely be a restocking fee. You will pay the difference between the 16 and 32GB prices.
If you are outside the return window (typically 14 days), the only option is to sell the current device and buy the larger capacity device you want. -
Is it safe to update my iPhone 4 16gb Softbank Locked to the latest OS? I'm hesitating to update its OS because I heard it might be permanently locked and I can't use it even as an iTouch. I understand that Softbank locked iPhone can never be unlocked, but not using this as a phone. I'm using this as an itouch.
Please confirm if I can update its OS? or what happens when i Update its OS.If you are just using the device as an iPod touch, it won't matter if you update it, so long as you still have a Softbank SIM in the device. It doesn't have to be active, but you will need it to activate the device after you update the firmware. It won't be locked to where it cannot be used as a Touch, unless you consider not activating it, but that is something you can still do.

TS1398 iPhone 3GS 16GB won't locate routers
My iPhone 3GS 16GB, running 6.1.3 won't locate either of my routers unless I'm in the same room as them, and even then the signal varies. My Wife's MacBook Pro, Air and my Mini together with visitor's Apples locate the routers just fine. Anyone got any ideas? I've tried quite a few online suggestions baut all to no avail.
Reboot the router by turning it off for at least 30 seconds. Then turn it back on. Wait until the router indicates a good connection to the Internet then turn on your device.
Also take a look at this Apple support page about troubleshooting Wi-Fi connections.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Still no help, you could have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to have the device examined.
