Iphone 3gs always crash

Since I have updated my Iphone to iOs6 my Iphone crash. I had already done a reset and a new installation.

Thank you!! I ran through so many troubleshooting guides and never saw this exact procedure. This is the only one that fixed my problem.
Too bad I lost all the data in each application, but I can live with that.

Did you manage to fix the issue?
I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update!

IPhone 3GS just CRASHED!

My Iphone 3GS just crashed. It has been a little slow to respond today (camera didn't come on immediately, FB freezing, dropped a call and then wouldn't hang up) but it seemed the problem was mostly with FB. So, I uninstalled FB and reinstalled it. While it was installing I went to play a game (iFarkle) and it opened but froze. And that was it. I couldn't turn the phone off. Nothing. I tried resetting but to no avail. I haven't backed up all my photos and videos (of my kids) - I know, bad me - so I would REALLY not like to restore it as I will lose everything, right? Any help out there???

I need help bad!! I have a iPhone 3GS 32 GB and right now it's swapping back and fourth between a wallpaper screen and the regular screen when you first get it. It will allow me to slide the bar but only when one of the screens first pop up. After that it freezes up and goes to the next screen. Eventually it shuts down and then re-boots itself only to start the process all over again. What can I do to fix this issue?

Iphone 3GS keeps crashing and wont hang up after out & incoming calls after repairs

I have had my iphone 3GS back to vodafone after I could not make calls, kept saying call failed!. I did all the troubleshooting tips, was okay for a short time, then shortly started doing same thing.I took it back to the store and on that occasion the assistant took the phone out of the protective cover i always had it in to replace the simcard in case it was this that was causing the problem ,then he dropped it onto the shops wooden floor and it bounced, he picked it up & went bright red & kept apologising , I then said if I have any more problems with it then I will come back & see him & he said yes. Shortly after I noticed the sim cover on top of phone was missing but i could see the simcard inside, so I returned to the store & informed them of this, i was advised by the earlier assistant 'Craig' that he thought that the sim tray was underneath the simcard which he then removed the simcard, then advised me he didn't want to go poking about in it in case it was inside and he would send the phone to be repaired & gave me a replacement phone until mine was back. I waited approx 2 weeks before receiving a call from Vodafone saying they would repair it if I payed over £100! as it was not covered under my insurance, I informed them the assistant dropped the phone in store and then i noticed the problem & was then told they would investigate this and call back, 10 minutes later they called back to say it would be a free repair. Since the repair I have had nothing but trouble with the phone crashing when I access apps , sticking on the hangup screen with in & out going calls for approx 10 minutes or more, when I turn phone on the Apple logo stays on the screen for long periods off time. When I access my music the track will change part way through to another track & also sometimes refusing to charge. I am fed up with going back & forth to the store which is quite a distance from my home & the phone has more problems since it was ''dropped'' & then ''repaired'' & I am at a loss of what to do. I feel I have been treated unfairly and gone along with all Vodafone asked of me. Please could someone from Apple help me!!!

The steps you already took were the correct ones - reset, restore from backup, restore as new phone. You could always try them again, but a Restore with set up as new is the 'ulitmate' troubleshooter - if that doesn't correct the issue, it's usually time for a replacement phone. Unfortunately, you've learned a hard lesson there, although I don't see how Apple screwed you - it's no secret that the iPhone warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase (as a little research on your part would have shown).
See how much money you saved with your eBay purchase? Next time buy the phone from Apple or an authorized UK carrier.

IPhone 3GS Camera Crashes iOS 4.3 When Device Used In Cold Weather

I was in Chicago today where the weather was in the low 40's (high 20s with the windchill). As I was sightseeing and using my iPhone to shoot casual snapshots, the OS completely crashed when I was trying to take the picture. My iPhone has never crashed for any reason, but I shrugged it off and then restarted the device. I took two more pictures, and then the phone again crashed on the third picture. After another restart, the phone started crashing every time I took a picture without exception.
Fearing the worst that my phone was about to die on me while on a business trip, I headed back to the car and headed for the hotel. As I was driving back, I got to thinking that my phone has never been in weather this cold before (I'm from California). As soon as I got to my room, I put the camera beneath the heating vent and allowed it to warm up. Once it felt like it was room temperature, I picked it up and started shooting pictures to see if I could get it to crash again. After forty pictures, it was still working.
Are there any known issues with the camera sensor on the iPhone 3GS in cold weather? Another poster from Eastern Europe seems to be having the same problem with the same model phone:

IPhone 3gs keeps crashing when using camera app and Facebook

My iPhone 3Gs is on its last legs, has been for a while, but I can't afford to upgrade just yet.
It keeps switching off, screen fades to black, when I use both the camera app and Facebook. I then have to reboot. It's not a battery issue, as it happens regardless of whether there's 90% or 9% battery life left, but just seems to happen randomly.
Today, it crashed when I pressed the shutter 'button' to take a photo, yesterday it was while I was selecting a focus point. Really frustrating, as I use the camera a lot. Facebook crashes the phone randomly, too.
This morning, I hung up on a call, then the phone died.
It's running ios5 now but has been doing it for a few months on previous versions of ios, too.
I've tried restoring to factory settings, but that has done nothing.
Any help you can give, much appreciated, thanks!

IPhone 3GS music crash and won't open up

One morning, I was listening to my iPhone 3GS then all of a sudden the music app itself crash. From then on I can't seem to open my music anymore and I have restored about 4 times now and I really want to listen to my music. What can I do to fix it???

Hi Everyone
New here so be gentle, i had this problem with my 3gs. The non apple apps would not open after upgrading to ios5, i was told to just download a free app to re-sync my phone and it worked absolutely fine. Try it !!

Iphone 3gs keeps crashing?

hiya, got a second hand iphone 3gs a few weeks ago on Vodafone. It was fine for the first week or two, then i added all my apps and music and it started crashing (going to black screen then rebooting itself), it wasn't doing it much at first but my phone has become pretty much unsuable now crashing all the time. Then when you turn it back on again and its rebooting it crashes again and the screen goes completely black. I have the most up to date update i think.
what should i do with it?

Email account settings are included with your iPhone's backup along with a significant amount of other data. If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup (there is no way to determine this until after restoring from your iPhone's backup), restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
Try deleting and recreating all email accounts on your iPhone. If no change after doing so, try restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.

My iphone 3gs keeps crashing on the new 5.1 software

Hi
I recently upgraded my Iphone 3GS 16GB to the new 5.1 software. What a mistake. I have had it crash countless times on me.
I have updated itunes on my computer and all my apps are up to date. If I go to start up any app it just goes, even the apple apps. I have now restored the phone twice and its still crashing...any suggestions?

As in when it is not plugged into power e.g. Usb or power it cuts out and when its not plugged in it lasts only until it has to perform some type of action.
For example a text message came through this morning and then it cut out. All my apps are from the app store.

Why does my iPhone 3gs keep crashing?

My iPhone 3GS keeps chucking me out of everything - apps, web and even typing a text! Its infuriating, I just get to the end of typing a message and it just goes off and back to the "home" screen. When I go back in to the text that I typed has gone!!! If I am googling or on Facebook it does the same thing.
Has anyone else had this? Any tips (apart from sledge hammer) would be gratefully received!!! Thanks!

Hi gdmacguy - I have done a full restore and it still does it... it constantly chucks me out of texting and using apps - its also stopped my iTunes from playing after about 8 mins which is really irritating when I am in the gym!!!
Do you have any other ideas of what I can do please?

Why doesn't my iPhone 3gs always sync when I plug it in to my PC? I just updated everything yesterday!

My 3gs iPhone does not always sync when plugged into my computer. I just updated everything yesterday, and it still won't sync with iTunes. Doesn't even show up as plugged into the computer.

Check the USB adaptor. I have a funky USB port that doesn't work well with all cables. Jiggle it a bit and/or try another port on the computer.

My iPhone 3GS always shut down itself. anyone know it happens? Something wrong with a battery or firmware...

Why my iPhone always shut down itself?

Try restoring.

Why does my iphone 3gs always load newstand when i try to enter the app store

When i try to get into the APP store my phone always loads newstand so I cant get the apps i want,anybody got any ideas which would help

Hi DashyEdge,
When you say you "changed my apple id", does that mean you renamed it to your new email address?
See "How to change the name you use for your Apple ID"
That is what you want to do so you still only have one Apple ID and it now has the new name and email.
It sounds like you may have created a new Apple ID instead and started purchasing stuff with that. Just because an old email address expires, doesn't mean the Apple ID it is based on goes away. Apple IDs can't be deleted. The only way for them to change is to rename them to a new "ID" (name/email).
It is best to stay with only one Apple ID for purchases. As you are seeing, Apps need to be updated with the ID they were purchased with. If you don't have many purchases with your new Apple ID, you might want to rename it to something else so you can rename your old ID to this new name (email). Then stick with your old, but renamed ID.
You don't remember the password for your old Apple ID? Can you access your old Apple ID using the security questions instead of the email verification?
