IPhone 3G + iOS4: rebooting?

Hello to all,
it happended only one time, but before iOS4 upgrade this has never happended to me. After some minutes of use I put the phone to sleep; holding it in my hand, I felt suddenly it was hot (not so much, but warmer than usual), after few seconds it rebooted on its own (it was in front of me so I've seen).
What is strange is that after reboot the iPhone did not ask me the PIN code of my SIM.
Has this ever happened to you?

After I upgraded my iPhone 3G with iOS4, the phone reboots 1-2 times a day, while I'm using it. I'll be checking email, or on a phone call, then all of the sudden I get the white apple logo, of the phone starting up. Is there a fix for this. Doesn't anyone at Apple test there software before they sending out to users. But this a daily occurance, I need to go back to iOS3.

My iPhone 6+ keeps rebooting after installing iOS 8.3

I have a 128Gb iPhone 6+. When I downloaded and installed iOS 8.3 via WIFI, it went through the usual download sequence and then started continually rebooting. After about 20 or so reboots, I got a white screen with a carrier signal on the top left, a location icon and a grayed-out bluetooth icon and the battery level indicator on the top right, and a curious "information" icon (a letter "i" in a circle) at the bottom right of the screen.
I tried tapping on the "i" but got no response. Then the iPhone went into the reboot cycle again. After several reboot cycles, I got the same white screen again. Then the iPhone again started rebooting and hasn't stopped.
My iPhone 6+ has been problematic since I installed iOS 8.1.2. Several random reboots (about 4 cycles, before the iPhone returned to "normal") and some other issues that I didn't document.
I brought the iPhone to the nearest authorized Apple repair center. They said that they could not find any problem and neither could they duplicate the issue I experienced. They recommended that the next time reboots happened that I should make a video of the error. Also, they recommended that I keep all of the apps updated (which I conscientiously do). So I decided to make a log of all the errors since the iPhone was returned to me.
Here are the entries to my log:

Can Some body tell me that how can i set a homescreen background in iphone 3g(IOS4,0) 16gb when ever i try to set a pic it has no such options just like(set as home screeen)

Hello Zeeshan Siddique,
The steps below detail how to go about setting a wallpaper on your iPhone.
Wallpaper
You can set a photo as wallpaper for the Lock screen or for the Home screen.
Set a photo as wallpaper:
1 Choose any photo and tap , then tap Use As Wallpaper.
2 Drag the photo to position it and pinch to zoom in or out, until it looks the way
you want.
3 Tap Set, then choose whether you want to use the photo as wallpaper for your Lock
Screen, Home screen, or both.
You can also choose from several wallpaper pictures included with iPhone by choosing
Settings > Wallpaper from the Home screen. See “Adding Wallpaper” on page 36.

HT1222 Iphone 5 is rebooting

Dear Folks,
How can I try to fix my Iphone 5 issues.
1st - My Volume control to get lower volume is not working
2nd - my iphone 5 is rebooting. I have tried to restore a default configuration as well as make a restore factory default.
i have bought in the US however, I am living in Brazil. Is there any way to change for the new one in the apple store? Iphone 5 is still on 1 year warranty.
thanks,
ADilson

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If you need warranty replacement or support from Apple, you must bring the device back to the US. Warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.

How to get out of recovery mode iphone 3gs ios4.3.5

please can any help on how to get out of recovery mode iphone 3gs ios4.3.5

Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts.
If still in Recovery Mode, Restore in iTunes. If the iPhone Errors, write down the Error Code so you can look up the cause and solution.

I was updating the software on my iphone4. I got a message saying that it could not update. Now my iphone will not reboot. It only shows a pic to connect to itunes, but nothing is happening when i connect it.

If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

IPhone 3G IOS4.0.1 restore errors

I'm trying to restore iphone3G to 4.0.1 from last 2 days but every time i got errors related to USB. errors like 2003,2005,2009,14 etc. believe me i tried almost every form. every time i plug my Iphone3G to PC it says "This device can perform faster please plug this in hi-speed USB 2.0 port". i tried all my USB ports but nops. and yes i have Enhanced USB 2.0 port according to my XP hardware device manager.
some times ITunes got my IPhone and start restoring IPhone with IOS4.0.1 but got error(described above) in very initial phase of of restoring.
here are the solutions i already tried
1) i change IPhone data cable (4 cables exact )
2) try to restore IPhone on 3 different computers XP SP2 all.
3) Already read all try Apple USB troubleshooting (try different USB ports, security software bla bla bla)
4) Reinstall iTunes several times
5) try many times in DFU + Recovery mode.
6) i updated my Bios and motherboard driver too.
here is the conclusion of problem i thought can be. every time i plug IPhone it is associated with normal USB1.0 i think if it some how associated with USB2.0 then my problem solved but i tried all USB ports.
c'mon pros tell me some thing. and last thing i can not visit IPhone store because I'm in Pakistan for next 2 months where no Apple support is available.

Same issue with me, and it's very frustrating. My Macbook can see and attempt to pair with my iPhone 3GS, but my phone doesn't seem to want to play ball. I never had this problem until I upgraded to IOS 4.1 (it may have existed in IOS 4, but I just never noticed). Any word on a fix for this? Um, Apple, I'd like to tether my phone again please!

IPhone 5C regularly reboot when the device is at sleep.

My device fell of the table last night(pretty hard), did't give much attention afterwards,charged my iPhone and went to sleep. When i woke this morning, the iPhone is really really hot. just the whole morning the iPhone pretty much reboot itself for about 10 times but only at sleep status(when turned on at the main UI it didn't reboot itself. ).
The crash reporter said: bug type: "110", panic(CPU 1 caller address): "Apple Tristar2: could not find system ID: bad IPC message ID".
Right now i just don't wanna restore my iPhone before figuring out what had really happened. i just don't know whether it is the hardware prob or software's, if you guys has encountered such issue, please give some advice.
Thx guys!

Haven't come across that issue in particular, but circumstantially, it can certainly be caused by something that happened during the fall. The only people that would truly know what that crash reported error is are Apple employees or engineers, so if you want to know about it, you might want to contact Apple. If you want to proceed with figuring out if it's hard ware or software, I would recommend backing up all your data and your logs like that crash reporter, then restoring and seeing if it continues. If it does not continue, restore from your backup.

My iPhone 5 constanlty reboots, sometimes the screen turns blue and the unit reboots and sometimes it just shuts down. Any Suggestions?

I am having the same problem with my ipad air but mine is so severe that it's just rebooting non stop. I guess the battery will die eventually but it has rendered the device useless. I guess I will be taking it back to apple. Very disappointed. Never had an apple product in 20yrs have such a severe problem.

IPhone 5 keeps rebooting since iOS 7.1 upgrade

Since upgrading to iOS7.1 about 36-hours ago, my iPhone 5 keeps rebooting itself. I've also noticed that the screen wakes itself up (as if pressing the Home button) as often as every 10-mins.
Anyone else seeing the same/similiair thing?
Any news from Apple about a fix?

Here are the basic troubleshooting steps:
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
Restore from backup
Restore as new

Iphone 3GS periodically reboots for no reason, help ?

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my iPhone 3GS bought 2 years ago in France. (Now i am located in Morocco)
After i updated to 4.1 iphone started to reboot itself periodically for no apparent reason every 5 minutes.
I already tried to restore my iphone, but it doesent seem to help.
What should i do?
Thanks in advance!

ok,did you try these steps? restart.reset.restore? but if you say what you restore it than try to call apple support,and one more thing-if you are on 4.1 update to 4.2-because when i have my iPhone on iOS 4.1 i cannot use it because there was issues with battery draining but after i update to 4.2 everything is normal,and i hate the iOS 4.1,try to update hope it will fix that.

If restoring the iPhone as a new device (not using a backup) doesn't fix the problem, then you either have a problem caused by whatever software you used to jailbrake the iPhone, in which case we cannot help you with that problem here, or the iPhone has a hardware problem in which case you'll have to ship it back to a friend or relative in the US to get it serviced.
Regards.

IPhone 3GS keeps rebooting, brand new, never jailbroken

I bought an iPhone 3GS in 2010. Worked perfectly until iOS 5.1, then it started rebooting whenever the SIM-card was in, but worked fine as a iPod Touch whenever the SIM was removed. Also, it needed to be restored after each reboot because iTunes couldn't identify it. I took it to the Apple store (on 5th Ave, if that's any relevant information). The Genius told me it had nothing to do with the software. The phone was broken. He did not specify what exactly was broken, but he offered me a replacement for about 160 USD (that's including tax). I accepted and was happy for my new phone until the same problem occured after just four days of getting the new phone. I'd take it to the store again, but the problem is - I don't actually live in New York. Currently living in Denmark. Brought it to my service provider, and they told me the phone was broken. Called Apple but they couldn't help me, since it was out of warranty.
TLDR
Had an iPhone 3GS, kept rebooting and had to be restored when SIM-card active. Got it replaced to the exact same model (iPhone 3GS 32 GB), same exact problem. Neither Apple or service provider will help me.
Neither phones had ever been jailbroken or used by anyone else.

Your only option is to bring the phone back to the US for exchange. Warranty is NOT worldwide.
There really is nothing else we users can do for you.

IPhone 3GS keeps rebooting iOS 5

I am at the stage that I am HATING having spent £300 on a phone that messes up every week!
My iPhone was running absolutely bang on on iOS 4.3.3 but like an idiot I decided to update it to 5.0 !
Now that it has been updated it has been running fine for like a week, however last night when I put it on charge it keeps restarting every 3 minutes for no absolute reason!
I switched my phone off and on again and still does the same thing!
I connected my iPhone to iTunes on DFU mode so that I could try to restore it, however no success!
So I went online and checked for new updates, found out that the iOS 5.0.1 was out which could be why Apple is playing with me?
I again connected my iPhone to iTunes and went for the update (my iPhone is still in DFU mode) it downloads most of the iOS 5.0.1 684.9 out of 685.0 MB and gives me an error saying network connection interrupted?! I tried it 4/5 times! Always does the same!
I do not know what to do anymore!
Please HELP!

Here is a solution I found searching the web. It worked for me so i hope it will help you guys out.
OK.........Finally I found the solution for sim problem with update 5.0.1 and the solution for fixing the iphone 3gs keeps rebooting or keeps restarting after 3-2 minutes?
for fixing the sim issues with update 5.0.1 or the rebooting problem do the following:
Take the     sim out
enable     the 3G and cellular date in network     setting
than     insert the sim back
the     netwok will register your sim via 3G not GSM
than after     3 minutes turn off 3G and cellular data
congratulation………your problem had been solved?...Im not an expert…but its seems this update 5.0.1…is not suitable for 3GS phones as they have ( special tapfro turning 3g on and off)this update is suitable for iphone 4?which enable automatically 3G.
The apple should have warn all 3GS phone about that ………not waiting some one not expert like me to solve it out?
Anyway……………have a nice day every one
