IPhone 3g Stuck On Start-Up Screen. This Is Horrible. Need Help!
Today in class I was downloading apps and my iPhone crashed and restated but when it restarted it will not go past the start-up screen. This is really making me mad because I gave it a 8 hour charge during the night and it finally ran out of battery life at about 3 and I thought "hey maybe when I get home i'll charge it and it will work again. Nope. I read many articles on here about this issue, but none really helped me. I've tried to restart it like over 50 times, and when I plug it up to itunes it freezes itunes and when I unplug it from the computer it unfreezes this. This really makes me mad because I spend 300 dollars on a phone I thought was amazing. Yeah its amazing but, it has ALOT of problems. So many that i've got to the point where I kind of want to return it to the store. I love it but if I can't fix it...I don't know what I will do. Please Help Anybody! If I restore it will I lose my phone numbers and everything? Will I be able to restore it?
I'm going onto my 3rd iPhone 3G.
The first had screen issue that would go black and other bugs.
The second worked fine until my provider called me for my new serial number.
They told me to key in a #??# code that brought up my serial number, however when I tried to charged the phone right after it was dead.
I can plug it in and it will charge, and go to a the apple logo screen and that's it. It does not appear in iTunes so I can't restore. I've forced shut down 50+ times and it will quit but on restart it will never pass the apple logo. When I plug it into my Dell it give me an error message the the iPhone cannot be used because of an error there are come numbers but I did not write them down.
So I'm now waiting over a week to get the third phone.
I'm a little ticked and scared, what is this happens when my warranty is expired. I love the phone but the quality is not Apple's best.

My iphone is stuck on the loading screen... Any help?
Try resetting by holding the home button and sleep/wake button until it turns off ignoring the slide to power down. You probably won't see that if yours is stuck.

Received an authorized unlock code from apple/AT&T for my off-contract 3GS (8GB). Per the “Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock” instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate saying “Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable”. I tried this again and again for countless times, no way! I have my old AT&T simcard and other carrier’s simcard. Both will not help. Please help me to activate and start using my phone.

My iphone is stuck on the settings screen and the home and lock buttons wont work. I can navigate through the settings but canot go home or turn orr or reset my phone. Please help):
I had the same situation with my iPod touch 5th gen. You can manually reboot it thru pressing sleep/wake button and holding it up to 10 secs - no data will be lost.. This didn't work in mine, but to some it did..
If it won't work, you could do what I did which is I reset all settings in the Reset part. It won't lose any data, just the settings (if you have just less settings did to the device, which I had). So just configure or tweak things again in the settings when it reset again.
Hope this somehow helps! -

I am having the same issue. I am updating to 6.1.3 to see if that helps. It is really annoying. It seems to vibrate as well as hiss on my ear piece speaker while on a call. I keep looking at the phone thinking maybe another call is coming in.

but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
to get your data off the machine,
then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.

PLEASE DON'T POST IN CAPS LOCK, AS IT IS SIMILAR TO
SCREAMING.
This sounds like your alarm is set. Go to
Extras-->Clocks and make sure that the alarms are
off. Make sure there are no alarms set for your
calendar either.
