Iphone 3GS Cannot withstand China's Winter

Recently I went to China for holidays and brought along my Iphone 3GS. TO my surprise, the phone cannot withstand the winter tempreture of about -10degree Celcius. The internal board cracked and the phone split open
Wonder if this is common.

With electronics in general, YES!  Most electronics, unless specifically desinged to operate in those extremes, will fail.

  • IPhone 3GS cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (-39).

    My iPhone 3GS won't sync.  I get an error message in Step 5 of 5 when it's trying to delete photos.  The message says "The iPhone "iPhone 3GS" cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (-39)."
    How do I fix this?  Is there anyone out there who can please help?

    Try restarting your phone and computer, use a different USB cord, use a different usb port on your computer.  Try these to see if any of them help.  Good luck!

  • Iphone 3gs cannot sync to itunes

    why my iPhone 3gs cannot sync to itunes? after i click synced, the phone seemed to sync to itunes but when it's about to complete, itunes cancelled the sync. WHYYYY? I've been having this problem since i've updated my iPhone to iO5.

    Two things to try:
    If you have a Windows computer open a Command window and type:
        netsh   winsock   reset
    If this doesn't fix it, or if you have a Mac, your current backup may be corrupted. Delete it by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab, highlight the backup and delete it.
    And if this still doesn't fix it, you may have a badly corrupted backup. Delete it manually by going the the Backup folder and deleting everything in it. You can find it as follows:
    Mac OS: ~Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • IPhone 3GS cannot access to 3G network after upgrading to OS 5

    My iPhone 3GS cannot access the 3G network after upgrading to OS5. I have checked with my operator and shows that their 3G network is working fine. Only cannot access through the phone. When I enable 3G, there will be no service for my phone. Wifi is working fine.
    Any idea how to resolve this?

    Thanks, I will try this method. After restore and syn, will it automatically upgrade back to OS5? 
    No. If you have 5.0.1, then you will get 5.0.1 back. Restoring should still fix it though. I would prefer to have you back up to iCloud, because there are many known issues/errors when trying to restore via iTunes on iOS 5 or later.

  • Iphone 3GS cannot detect SIM card

    Hi My iphone 3GS cannot detect the SIM card.
    The phone shows full bar for service provider but 3G unable. It cannot receive incoming calls and make outgoing calls.

    I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
    Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

    Since you are still under Warranty, make appointment with Apple Genius and take iPhone to Apple for resolution of those problems.

  • IPhone 3GS cannot access wi-fi since 6.0 upgrade

    I have an iPhone 3gs and since upgrading to IOS 6 I cannot get access to wi-fi either at home or on campus.  I tried Reset Network Settings and that didn't help.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Slight correction - The phone can recognize the router if we are within 5 feet of the router at home.  Nothing on campus.  Before the upgrade the college wi-fi was recognized all over campus.

  • Is that right (All IPhone 3GS maded in China)?

    HI
    I am going to buy an IPhone 3GS But my friend told me "All IPhone maded in China"
    Is he right?

    I am with Ziatron on this.
    I would upgrade all my company's and my own personal Mac products much more frequently (iMacs, MacBooks, iPhones) if they were not made or assembled in China.
    China's human rights, civil liberties and ecological record is disgraceful.
    I consequently buy as few Mac products as possible although we only use Mac

  • IPhone 3GS cannot connect to iTunes app

    I got the Mountain Lion installed on my MacBook and now I cannot connect my iPhone 3GS to it, and when I try the iPad it does not work either... I tried to reset the settings on the phone, but since the iCloud was acting very weird I never used it properly and the wire connection does not work - therefore I cannot use my phone now. Can you please help me somehow??
    Thank you!

    Check the iPhone discussion and you will find dizens of identical posts to this. The most common suggestions are
    Reaset the date
    Settings > General > Date & Time
    Turn "Set Automatically" OFF
    Set Date & Time to the year 2013
    Relaunch Passbook
    When you have done this and downloaded the apps to back to Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically to ON.
    Try using Cellular connection
    Settings > General > Cellular
    Use Cellular Data for... iTunes ON
    Use Cellular Data for.. Passbook Updates ON
    Wait until Apple gets things sorted out on the App Store or the unexpectedly heavy load abates
    Neither of the first two options worked for me so I am waiting somewhat impatiently for Apple to sort it out.

  • Iphone 3gs cannot be switched on at all. tried all the reset options to no avail..... help!!, iphone 3gs cannot be switched on at all. tried all the reset options to no avail..... help!!

    this morning as i left for work, i charged my iphone 3gs in my car using the car charger from apple... when i plugged the charger into the phone, it did not charge up. so i took it out and left my phone by the side as i drove to work. upon reaching my workplace, the iphone screen was blank and i couldn't operate it by pressing the lock/unlock button. till now, it cannot be switched on.... the back of the iphone is hot though..... tried resetting the phone to no avail... some one help!!! 

    Hey!
    I have tried holding down the home and power button countless of times. It doesnt respond at all. Plug my phone to a charger and hold down the power button and my phone switched on. But it said Activation Required and said connect to Itunes. As e screen remains on the connect to Itunes screen, I disconnect the charger from my phone and my phone went dead instantly. My battery is full btw. Tried connecting to Itunes through my Macbook Pro but iTunes doesnt detect my device and the apple logo flashes for about a few seconds on my phone and then disappear and then came back on again. My Iphone has been connected to my laptop for about 30 mins and the apple logo has been coming on and off for 30 minutes now and Itunes has not detect my device yet.
    SIGHHH.

  • IOS 6.0.1 iphone 3gs cannot enter passcode after reboot

    With iOS 6.0.1 installed on my iphone 3gs (A1303), the first enter passcode screen that appears after a reboot (power off, then power on) will not allow a passcode to be entered. 
    Workaround:  turn off (not power off), then turn back on.  The second time the enter passcode screen is displayed after power on, it accepts a passcode.
    This must be a bug in iOS 6.  How can a bug that requires zero steps after power on get through Apple QA?

    So, was there a tech support question that, we, the other users on the forum could help you with?

  • New iPhone 3GS cannot utilize Genius

    I recently got a new 32gb iphone 3gs. I have updated my iTunes library, and made sure that genius was all set up and working correctly - I actually just now updated genius again, and it is able to generate playlists just fine in iTunes.
    However, when I try to use genius on ANY song on my iPhone, it tells me there are not enough related songs to generate a playlist. I have over 5,000 songs on my iPhone. I have a hard time believing that there aren't enough related songs, especially since my 32gb ipod touch was able to do it just fine.
    Are there any tricks to getting Genius to work on a new 32gb 3GS? Am I doing something wrong?

    Does it say this for any song you attempt to create a genius list for...or just certain songs??
