IPhone 3GS 3.1.2 GPS not working!

Hi i need help..been trying the past 2 day to get the GPS to work...but it still cant work..this is what i have done..
-Off 3G
-Off Local
-On Airplane
-On Local
open the map and locate us..sometimes it is able to locate me but most of the time the location is quite off my exact location....
i try to route it..but the blue dot will just stay the starting point and it is not moving except the direction is moving...
Also try to restore the frimware numerous of times...still cant get it work...
i also try to remove my sim card and try to see whether it can pick up any GPS signal but it show nothing...
Download montion x lt from app store...it cant detect any GPS signal, what it does only triangle using the GSM tower...
Compass is working fine...
so anyone can help? im runing out of option....
was wondering whether is the GPS spolit or wat?
any advise from expert here?
tks

Hi DJR81, it does indeed sound like the GPS could be out. Try contacting your service provider for a warranty repair.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You should update your iPhone software.

Do you have modified software installed on your device?
If not, try to set it up as new device, explained here, without using the latest backup afterwards, in case it is containing corrupt data.

If this does not help, you'll have to get it serviced, there might be a hardware problem.

My iPhone 3GS bluetooth audio transmission does not work

My iPhone 3GS used to work well with a Motorola H700 headset and the bluetooh in my Lexus. All of a sudden, I could connect with the H700 or the Lexus and place a call but there was no audio received or sent even though the screen in the Lexus said it was being sent/received. I have checked all settings; I have removed and re-setup the iPhone on both devices and to no avail. Is there something I am missing? I know the bluetooth system in the Lexus works because i can connect my Morotola SLVR to it and get audio both ways.
Thanks.

My iphone 3gs on off button does not work. Is there another way to reset the phone?

The on/off button on my iphone 3gs does not work. I cannot shut the phone down to reboot and it is stuck in a no service. I cannot get cell or internet service. Is there another way to reboot the phone? Possibly a soft reset?

The screen goes to voice control. It only recognises the home button not the on/off button. Is there a way to soft reset the phone?

IPhone 3GS Belkin Tunebase multifunction button not working

Hi I have an iPhone 3GS OS 6.0.1 and a Belkin Tunebase. It has been working fine up till I think I upgraded my iPhone. While the music still works the multifunction button has stopped working. This means I cannot receive calls hands free or toggle on and off music except by using the iPhone interface which is dangerous when driving. I tested the tunebase on my friends 3G iphone and it worked so I know the Tunebase is not at fault. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? I have cleaned all the dust out of the connection but to no avail
cheers

Sorted - although I had cleaned the contact points I obviously hadn't done it properly - lesson learned!

I bought iphone 3gs from japan now its not working in Nepal what do i do now

so what should i be doing do apple help me or should i go with unlocking software if yes how to make the iphone now work in nepal thanks

Hi, you're referring to the menu, right? The first thing on the menu list is the music library with a directional arrow to the right. If I select that, I still get the same message. There's nothing there. I think the problem must be where (or how) I'm saving the songs. I'm saving them but not to the right place? The instruction book just says follow the directions on the screen (but they really aren't that clear.)
Thanks for your help. I want to get this thing working!

IPhone 3Gs & OS4: internet and email not working

Hi all,
I upgraded my 3Gs to OS4 without hassle, and everything is still working, besides some of the apps (which I assume are awaiting updates).
However, my wife had a 3G which she broke and was given a new 3Gs as an insurance replacement. I restored her file from backup I made of her 3G. I then updated firmware to OS4.
Now for some reason it's not accepting the details for the outlook exchange she had setup (work email) and yahoo mail is playing up too. Safari doesn't seem to work with either wifi or 3G.
Is anything I can do to sort this out? I've tried the restore to factory settings,but that doesn't seem to reset the OS on the handset just all the user details.
Any suggestinons appreciated.

called AT&T to check if they have any issue on the 3G data network, then they suggested me to backup the phone and restore as new, it worked for me although it's a long process

Hi frnds I'm using iPhone 3gs suddenly my phone is not working as usual suddenly it say i should restore my device so i clicked restore on my pc running on windows 7 but it displays error 21 pls help as soon as possible

iPhone stuck on the "connect to iTunes " screen

Hello shravan vj,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. I recommend the following steps for Error 21:
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

IPhone 6 location services/gps not working

Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on. I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.

Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.

I want to use my iPhone 3GS just as an ipod, not a phone. No sym card. New iOS5 won't allow. What do I do? Can I do a hard reset?

Hey, as far as I know you need a sim card to activate after a restore
It however does not have to be a fully working sim card, just not blocked or with a pass code, I repair/refurb. some iPhones and can only advise to try and get a free sim card from a provider supported on your phone and activate it with this, or maybe someone can lend you theirs for 5 mins?
To clarify, I have heard there are ways around this, but they sound dubious.

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question.

Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

HT1430 How can you restart your iphone if your lock button does not work?

How can you restart or turn off your iPhone if the lock button does not work?

The best way is to let the battery die. Or you can reset the phone settings which restarts everything.

You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
Seriously? It's physically broken!
