Iphone 3G with problems

I´ve got an iphone 3G with the newest iOS4 on it, is there any way to upgrade to the iOS 5 or 6 perferably without purchasing an iphone 4 or 5?  Also I have problems after the last update with a few apps that don´t want to reload off my computer back onto the phone.

The navi app was working great before I removed it off the iphone to save space at the time.  I simply went into "apps" while the phone was plugged into the computer and clicked off the app and a few others also.  Clicked then "applied" and sync´d everything.  Only found out that I couldn´t put it back onto the phone a few months later.  Get some sort of script saying that it is not for this iphone version.  Don´t want to delete it altogether either because I may want to later get the 4S when I find a bargain for it.  Also bought the app "Angry Birds Space" not knowing that it was incompatible with the 3G, but when you don´t read the fine print below the lines.....

    Hello Apple and everybody else.
    I live en Denmark, where we have been "allowed" to buy the 3G iPhone since June.
    But it hasn't been a "happy mariage"! Here are some of the things that have made my experience bad:
    1. It crashes in Safari all the time
    2. Apple has chosen a network (Telia) that almost does not have 3G coverage... DOH!!
    3. It looks like the glass screen is coming off in the bottom
    4. Ringtones.... Why can't we buy them at iTunes store?! When Apple already has made the guides in Danish and all that.
    Dont you get, how many people here cracks there phone just to be able to get the intended features for the phone?!
    5. Visual voice mail... not possible here in the country...

    1) Try restart, reset, restore as the manual suggests.
    2) Sorry. What do you want someone to do?
    3) The iphone has a one year warranty. I suggest you take advantage of it.

  • Voice quality problems on iPhone 5s with IOS 7.02 on Verizon.I

    I have a brand new iPhone 5s with IOS 7.02 on Verizon.  Everything works great except when on talk on the phone the normal way.  When I do that, people tell me they can hardly hear me.  But, when I put them on the speaker phone, they can hear me very well.  Also, Voice Memos, and SIri all work just fine.  It is only when I talk on the phone the normal way (without the speakerphone on) that the voice quality I am transmitting is very low.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  Thanks very much.

    Apple helped me solve this problem.  They gave me a brand new iPhone 5s.  The were just great in their support.  It appears that my first iPhone 5s had a faulty "audio chip."  This is the chip that changes the frequency of your voice as you talk into the microphone; Apple explained that it is one frequency when talking on the phone, and another where using the speakerphone, and another when using Siri, and another when using voice memos, etc. You use the same 2 microphones for all of these applications (one at the bottom of the phone, and one my the camera lens), but the "audio chip" adjusts the freqency based on the applicaiton you are using.  So, on my first iPhone 5s, my "audio chip" was defective, so they gave me a new iPhone 5s, and it has been working just fine.  I had the most current IOS operating system on the original iPhone 5s with the faulty "audio chip," and on my new iPhone 5s which works great.  Hope this helps.  The technicians at Apple Customer Care and at the Apple Store are very aware of this problem with potentially defective "audio chips" in some of the iPhone 5s's.  Cheers, Clarence from Cleveland.

    I  spend good money for my iPhone i have the iPhone 5 with the new charger slot which is smaller. I have been through at least 3 charging cords and this is not acceptable to me. i never had a problem with this on my older phone. apple needs to correct this and reimburse me for this cord.

    Charging cords are covered by the iPhone warranty or their own warranty
    if puchased separately. Take your iPhone and the cords to your local
    Apple store for evaluation and possible replacement.

    Hi, I have an iphone 4 with my itunes library on a Windows XP computer. My spouse (who has now passed away) had an itouch with an itunes library on an IMac. here is the problem, I bought an new iphone 6 and wanted to sync with my windows xp library and of course my itunes version is out of date and I need to update it...well I try and update the version and it will not update the Itunes library and when I researched it I would have to upgrade from XP to Windows 7...r they kidding me...first of all my computer is old and a pain in the *** but I have my itunes library on it.  Sp to get my phone working I sync'd it on the IMac and my spouses Itunes library has been sync'd to my iphone and I don't know how to get my library on it...After thinking about it I want to combine the libraries after all there are some purchases on each one.
    I have done some research and you have to buy a 3rd party piece of software...this is not the way I want to go...I do not think i should have to buy one and also when I do a goole search there are a ton of them out there and I am sorry i do not trust the comments as some of them do identify that they will get a kick back.
    Can someone help, i should be able to export my itunes library from my iphone 4 to the itunes library by appending/importing it...it is not rocked science on what I want to do and I cannot find out any process...
    Can someone help ?

    I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5,  I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software.  Every time I try, I get the following message:
    "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established".  This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
    Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
    Will I be able to update the software?

    look around the forum tons of people repport that they can't update
    makes you suspect that apples update servers can't meet the depand of too many users

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
    Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
    Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
    thanks.
    Sorry my bad Inglês.

    Try a reset hold home/sleep buttons until Apple logo appears
    If that does not improve try a restore

  • My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported"

    My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported", I can't charge or sync at all. I tried plug and unplug many time, still can't detect/charge my iPhone5, but sometime will 'lucky' that can connect to my iTunes and charge battery…
    This message will auto pop up also when I don't have plug anything in my iPhone 5, It is very annoying…
    The lighting cable is original and now i'm using OS 7.0.4 / iTunes is 11.1.3
    What I can do to fix this problem? Thank you.

    I would try using another cable you can likely borrow one to test from somebody
    if it's the same then likely the connector in your iphone have been damaged

  • Iphone 3gs with ios5 update. bluetooth connection with car problem.

    I updated my iphone 3GS to IOS5. After the update, the bluetooth (handsfree) connection to my car (Lexus RX350) does not work anymore. I can connect  any other cell phone bluetooth to my car. Only iphone after the IOS5 update is failing. Any suggestions (I reset many times)?

    Some people havent had one problem when updating to iOS4, others have been over run with problems. I myself have lost virtually all sound from my loud speaker so calls, txt messages and ipod are virtually unheard now..
    Went to my local Genius bar in Liverpool today, complete waste of time, the guy restored it like I hadnt already done that a 100 times, then said oh yeah it is qeit not heard of that one before, to get a new one will cost you £139!!
    Yeah right mate, not payin that as its not my fault! did ask him if he ever looks on the Apple forum about faults people are having, and I got a blank look. Told him a thread with tens of thousands people all having the same problem with low sound from the speakers and calls being ended in mid conversation since updating to OS4 seems a bit strange then... another blank look!
    Ive lost all faith with apple as a company now and will not be upgrading to a iPhone 4 anytime soon or any apple product, no one seems interested in helping but quick enough to take your money, thats my opinion anyway..

  • Does anyone have problems occasionally with their slide to unlock on iphone 4s with the ios7 update? And do you think there will be a bug fix? Bit worried

    Hi everyone,
    I've recently updated my iphone 4s with the ios7 update and there was a bug fix I also downloaded recently but I hadn't noticed anything wrong at the time. I know it's not happened that often today but does anyone have any problems with their 'slide to unlock' button and have to reload their iphone again? Do you think there'll be a bug fix for it? Just worried as it's not old and I have a feeling I shouldn't have bothered with the update at all.

    Why would you think it's a bug?  If it were a bug EVERYONE would be having the same issue.
    Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

    Hello apple
    I have the problem with my iPhone and my friends have this problem too.
    My iPhone have the problem about calling and answer the call. When I use my iPhone to call I can't hear anything from my iPhone but the person that I call can answer it but when answer both of us can't hear anything and when I put my iPhone to my face the screen is still on and when I quit the phone application and open it again it will automatic call my recent call. And when my friends call me my iPhone didn't show anything even the missed call I'm only know that I missed the call from messages from carrier. Please check these problem I restored my iPhone for 4 time now in this week. I lived in Hatyai, Songkhla,Thailand and many people in my city have this problem.
    Who have this problem??

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

    I have a problem in my iphone 4 with wi-fi after update to IOS6 please can help my how can solve this problem?

    Nope
    One needs to press the home and sleep / wake keys together for the phone to reset
    The other thing I could recommend
    Let the battery run out and the phone completely "die"
    It may take a day or two with it not being used
    Then plug it in to charge and see if there is any change in behavior
    If you cannot get this to work - you may need to bring it to an Apple store
