even i cant make a outgoing or incoming call if i disable 3g, help me to fix this
Does your carrier still maintain 2G service in your area?
Many carriers are turning off Edge and 2G service towers now, so 2G is not available anymore.
Contact your carrier for specifics on their 2G Service.

Most of the time the iphone cannot reach any network and when it can, there is no data transfer, I can only make calls and sms.Skizofrenias wrote:

Hope this helps -

IPhone 3GS Straight Talk can only text AT&T Phones? Can't MMS
Background:
I have a AT&T iPhone 3GS. My contract ran out last September. I just let it end including the phone number.
I then signed up for Google Voice and just used the Talkatone app on my phone with Wifi to make calls and text.
In the last 2 Days I bought the correct Straight Talk Sim and Unlimited Refill Card and had my Google Voice number transfered to the Straight Talk Sim, and they activated it.
---I did not unlock my phone if that helps.---
What's Happening:
My phone can send and recieve calls from anyone.
My phone can access the internet fine.
BUT
-It can ONLY Text those on the AT&T Network.
-It CAN'T Picture Message anyone!
(it can iMessage everyone with iMessage but that works through the data)
What is happening and how do I fix it?
Thanks for the help!!!!!!The phone, like all 3GS's sold in the US is carrier locked to AT&T. Contact AT&T to find out if they will unlock it for you.
FYI, StraightTalk is only a supported carrier for iPhones purchased from StraightTalk. -

Poor GPS reception in IPhone 3GS, am I the only one having this problem ?
Since I have many problems with GPS drop outs and poor signal strength errors when using navigation software for Iphone 3GS firmware 4.0.2.
First I reset my Iphone completely and installed all apps from scratch, but this has not solved my problem.
I now tried several tests to compare with both an Android phone HTC Desire and a very old Symbian phone Nokia E65. Neither the Nokia E65 or HTC Desire have any drop outs in the GPS reception while my Iphone has several dropouts, making navigation horrible.
Am I the only one having this problem ?Unfortunately, you are not the only one (I personally use TomTom with car kit). This is one of the numerous bugs introduced by iOS4 and this one has been reported by many in this forum. Be careful not to use your iPhone based navigation system in a foreign country, due to high roaming costs ! I had to use it and nearly had an heart attack when reading the invoice.
Apple doesn't care. Unfortunately, I have to care for my budget. -
my iphone 3gs is showing only white screen. Continuous pressing of home button only voice control is enabled. Nothing except white screen is visible.Please guide it to recover.
Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds oh holding both buttons. If still problem. Try DFU Mode Restore. DFU Mode. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode.

has an old iphone 3gs that was not in usage for awhle. I called ATT and had it unlocked officially. After resetting it here in USA I gave it as a gift to someone to use abroad with forign sim card and phone service.
However, at the foreign company office they were told that USA iphones can not be used outside USA.
Is that true?
So How can they use it abroad?I'm fairly certain you should be able to use it abroad if it was unlocked by AT&T.
Did you restore it as a new phone and get a screen that said something similar to "Congratulations, your iPhone is unlocked"?
If so, it should work on just about any GSM carrier, though the other person would want to make sure their carrier supports the iPhone. I was able to use my US iPhone 4 in London just fine.
They may not have full functionality for data speeds outside the US, but that's the only issue I can think of. And I don't think that would affect the 3GS since it can't use anything faster than 3G anyway.

allow to reboot
If that doesn't help try this

IPhone 3GS screen freezes regularly - only sleep button revives it
I have had the 3GS now for 2weeks. Had the Ipod Touch before which was great and motivated me to purchase the IPhone, so I had the online ability all the time.
Been a great disappointed unfortunately.
Installed all my apps from the beginning, and noticed the frequent freezing of the screen when just browsing apps, but also within apps the screen would stop responding. The home key always works though.
The only way to revive the screen is to hit the sleep button, and then unlock it again with the home button + slider.
Since then I have tried all the tricks in the book (I think):
1. Rebooted -no effect
2. Hard Reset (home + sleep 10 secs) - better performance, but still freezing screen
3. Restored it with content through Itunes - no effect
4. Restored it as new iphone without content - no effect
5. Restored it as new iphone with the OS 3.1.2 - no effect
Also disabled push notifications (google exchange for mail,calendar, contacts). (Just now I noticed I missed an additional push setting for the calendar and contacts in a deeper menu item - a final hope maybe?)
Anyhow, is there anything else I can do before I send it away to the service point in Sweden? (No Genius bars here...)
Could reinstallation of Itunes really have any effect? I am already using the latest version.
Any tips are welcome (Phone not jailbroken or any funny business like that)Reinstalling iTunes won't help unless you have trouble syncing or iTunes recognizing the iPhone. The problem seems to be in your phone, but it could be a specific app that's causing it.
I suggest restoring the phone as new, an then adding each app one by one, testing the phone after each addition. If you find a specific app causing this, delete it and re-download it from the app store. Check to see if it's compatible with the current iPhone OS - some older apps haven't beed updated and cause problems.
Beyond that, there's no choice left except warranty service for a possible hardware defect. -
IPhoto/IPhone 3GS- newly synched events only show 1 or 2 photos from only a few events...
My photos were synching fine..until today! I plug in my phone expecting to have no trouble because I added some new photos from my camera to iPhoto, so I click those events to "synch." It takes maybe one or two pics from some of the events, and that's it.
I've tried everything - deleting the ipod photo cache, turning phone on and off, taking all photos off and re-synching, restarting itunes and iphoto, reseting my synching...
Also I realize under my albums in my iPhone, there are pics that I never wanted synched, mainly because they are big files- but they are still synching despite the fact those events are not chosen to even be on my phone.
I have 7 gigs of space free on my phone, synching less than half a gig of photos, so I also know space is not the problem.
any ideas? Thanks.Sounds like a damaged db file.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Also an "automatic" backup happened last nite without my request...
There is no "automatic" back up on the Mac that you did not set up somehow.
Also where does the "backup" go to?
Depends on how you set it up.

Carrier issues, Iphone 3gs: Carrier is in the carrier list but does not connect = no service
Right introduction, I live in the country signal for iphones under 02 in my area is 3-4 bars of GPRS signal. This is plenty to make and receive calls, texts and all that as use home wifi for internet simple. Everything working fine for about a year of having the phone, then did updates and started to see the "no service" almost all the time and had to place my iphone in a signal spot just to get 1-2 bars and couldn't touch it without dropping out! Basically I could not use it at all and the crap about the signal now showing true signal is rubbish as before i could make calls fine and no drops, but now due to "no service" i can't make any calls or texts or anything. I have a ipod touch when nothing HAS CHANGED other than i can think when the update to 4.0 came along! I have been living with this for almost a year. I have done every possible solution, apple stores, 02 stores, new sim cards (many), every type of phone resetting possible, manually turning off 3g and other settings to turning everything off bar just basic GPRS signal. Network resets everything possible no joy what so ever.
I have been paying for a year now for a phone that i can't use anywhere other than right next to a signal tower! Yes the phone connects to GPRS, EDGE, 3G when in town but just about. Before these problems i could get max 3G signal in my local town no issues but now struggle to get 1 bar of 3g in a town as well. The problem is I used to be able to use my phone as a phone where i needed to use the phone. Now i can't use the phone anywhere and get drop calls all the time when i do manage to get signal!!!!!!!
Now i can't even connect to 02, yet at home under a manual carrier search all UK networks appear on the list including 02, I click on 02 and it comes up with the warning "network lost see settings" So my phone CAN find signal but does not connect to 02. This has been the case for a long time now and as stated before several sim cards latter and plenty of trips to apple and changes of phone make NO difference which makes me believe this is a software issue on apple's part. I only started getting these issues when the iphone 4 came out and updated the ios. Now what can i do, i can not downgrade the ios as i never jailbreaked my phone so don't have the files stored that i should to be able downgrade. Apple are offering 0 help with this, all i want to do is smash it to bits as it no longer works as a phone. I have to use a 10 year old nokia to call and actually use my contract that I PAY FOR. I PAID FOR MY PHONE and just after the warranty runs out as well and it seems all a software problem.
I have searched all over the net to find no solutions to my problems this is a last resort before i do actually smash the thing and I love apple to bits but come on a simple software issue.
I mean isn't it silly that i can't downgrade my ios and that apple don't support this and yet my issue seems to lie in there update.
I know that the signal update reworked the algorithm to show true signal XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX um no it doesn't as now i have 0 signal as before i had no problems what so ever with dropping calls and the signal showing right so WHY WHY WHY.
Please help I am so frustrated with things and need to solve this issue. Please ask anymore questions if you want more details about anything, i need to sort this out please.
By the way i am running ios 4.3.3 yet bellow in the options this is not stated?? I have been updating hoping that it gets solved but only seems to get worse the more i update.
Thanks
James
