Iphone 3GS displaying icons very largely.......
I am facing a very strange problem, my iphone model 3GS is displaying icons on the screen very large in size, than the usal format.
I tried to solve the problem by switching on/off, tried the settings options.
But did not go for restoring the factory settings, because of the doubt i may lose all the contacts saved in the phone.
Please advise any solution and clear the doubt of losing the saved contacts if i apply the factory resetting option.
If you select erase all content and settings on your iPhone, this does exactly as provided - it will erase all content and settings - everything but the firmware/included software.
If you restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, the same applies.
Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with syncing calendar events, or with Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only - the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista.
If you aren't currently using a supported application on your computer for contacts - the address book is empty, before syncing contacts with the application enter one contact in the application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Contacts between the two will be kept synchronized with following syncs. Syncing contacts with a supported application on your computer is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. You can do this before restoring your iPhone with iTunes which will also give you access to your contacts on your computer.

Hi guys i have big problem with iPhone 3GS display,so i need your help here,i was changing battery on my device and the when i wanted to put back display i saw that connector 1 is hard to put on on connector on motherboard so i saw that conncetor one don't havetwo pins ,i know that i need new cable or new display can you please tell me can just replacew another ribbon cable because my LCD display is not broken,if you didm't understad this is the problem,so can i do anything or i need to buy new LCD display.
Your question is a little difficult for me to understand. If you think the LCD Display connector on the Ribbon Cable #1 is damaged, the fix is to purchase a new LCD Display. The Ribbon itself is not truly a replaceable part that I know of.
When working on an iPhone 3GS the iPhone must be OFF, or you risk damaging the LCD Display or the Logic Board components that control the LCD Display.
I do not understand how you know “don’t have two pins”? I have never heard of this problem? If you really know that two pins are out, then also examine the #1 connector on the Logic Board to be certain is has not sustained damage too. -
My son used my imac and played a game via the internet. Now my display is very large and I can not make it smaller. Any suggestions
Check the resolution in System Preferences > Displays > Display tab > set to the highest resolution.
In SL it's the last on the list, in Lion it's the first one.

My iphone 3gs battery drains very fast
my iphone 3gs battery drains very fast it won't last for whole day
i just uses mail application and facebook for some time
can u tell why the problem is or need to change batteryI'm having the same problem with my 3Gs. In my case it is not the apps int he background or the brightness, or wifi or email push. The folks at the apple stroe tell me that there is some software glitch that shows up every few months.
I can only get rid of it by restoring my phone as a new device. In which case I lose all of my contacts, settings and all data. VERY frustrating. I had recived two new phones (before applecare ran out) and have done the resotre several times. No one can tell me what is in that creates this probelm. I've tried differenet chargers one by one in case they are the probelm. one int he car, one in a kitchen outlet, one at my home computer (sync) and on at my office computer (non-sync).
Problem just showed up again randomly two days ago, no new apps or hardware. battery drains from full to 0 in two hours.
Apple, please fix. -
Hi Hope sombody can help me please..
My IPhone 3GS Display is backwards all my writing is backwards way around so are my apps
(It's like a mirror image) When I put my phone near a mirror everything is displayed fine.
I now have to leave my phone on all the time cos if I press my top button it will display backwards again and then I after keep pressing it loads of times. I have got the latest updates and I have re-booted my phone from scratch I'm running out of ideas. I have phoned Apple up and they have just told me to press my home button down with the other one to re-start it. No Joys :-(
This phone is not jailbroken,I'm on 02 pay as you go it was bought from new 2 years ago from the 02 shop.Sounds like it's dying. Bring your phone into Apple for an out of warranty exchange for $149 or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

My iPhone 3GS displayed a message saying it was over heating and to turn it off.
I turned it off and the next day that I turned it back on, it wont go passed the main Apple screen.
It had a message to re-connect to iTunes, then that the IMEI and SIM were unknown.
Now it wont turn on at all!!The terms of service of the Apple Support Communities prevent us from helping anyone with a jailbroken phone.
You're on your own. Good luck. -
What do you do if your iphone 3gs displays a thether picture to itunes? It won't change and after going to the manual and following directions, I find it is an error 1002. What does this mean?
Error 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue.

I recently replaced my cracked iphone 3GS display (with a full front panel assembly) and it worked perfectky for a while, but then the display went and all I can see is the backlight. It goes on when I press the home or lock button and goes off when i repeat. I have tried putting the original panel back (the display still worked on it) and the same problem occured. Please help
There was probably some damage to the logic board that occurred when you cracked the screen. It has gotten much worse.

I am using iPhone 3GS but display is not fitting properly to the screen. perhaps It is like this only but I have noticed it today.. a very thin black border is around the display so is it normal or display has been displaced???
Turns out that Apple moved the prox sensors in the 3G and 3G S. On the 2G there are two sensors just above the ear hole speaker thing. On the 3G and 3G S they are over to the side of the ear hole (left side phone facing up), and I think there are three of them. As you found out old cases don't work on the newer phones, unless you modify them. You can see the sensors by if you look carefully. I discovered this when I went for a 2G to a 3G. I explained the problem to an Apple phone tech, but they were stumped. Took off my case to take the phone back, it rang, problems solved.

i just bought the iphone 3gs and i have applications on it, but the icons are not the right icon for the app.... like a ring tone one is really a playmesh mafia icon and so on. how do i fix this?
I had the same problem when an icon for a different app appeared in place of the correct one. Mine was an easy fix- I simply deleted the app from the iPhone (push and hold icon until it shakes, then click the x) and then shut off the iPhone. Next, I connected the iPhone to my computer and re-sync'd with iTunes (make certain that you check-mark the now deleted app to ensure it re-loads on the iPhone). Presto! The app icon was fixed. I hope that helps you with yours.

IPhone 3gs battery consumption very high after updating to IOS 6
HI,
After updating my iphone 3GS to ios 6,battery consumption is very high.I observed this changes in my iphone 3gs after updating my iphone 3gs to IOS 6.Is there a SIM in the device? A SIM is required for activation.
The most common reason for activation issues is due to the device being hacked or jailbroken. If this is the case, no support can be provided here and Apple will not touch the device. -
Iphone 3gs displaying no service message
I replaced my old iphone 3gs by a new iphone 4s. After 2 weeks the new iphone was stolen but, when i tried to go back to my old iphone 3gs (with a new sim card), it kept displaying a "no service" message after I updated it to ios 5.1. I got back all the information stored in iCloud and iTunes and all the applications work fine, except for the telephone service. I tried changing different sim cards (including different telephone lines) but the problem remains. The phone worked perfectly well before this incident started. Help!
I forgot to say that I tried restoring the device many times, but couldnt fix it. Any ideas? Searching the apple site,
I saw an article explaining something about "udating carrier settings" http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4148
I dont have such option in my general settings -
Iphone 3gs displaying NO SERVICE
i have a iphone 3gs and recently damaged the lcd and digitizer so had them replaced..not through apple. when i picked up the phone all was in good working order. by the time i got home the phone was saying NO SERVICE. and hasnt picked up any since?? ive tried loads of trouble shooting techniques i.e turning airplane mode on n off...removing sim whilst doing this...completley restoring the phone through itunes...updadting software...reseting all and network setting on the phone itself. i have also turned phone off then back on and it will search for networks then 'waiting for activation' is displayed. i really am at a loss as how to fix this problem!! can anyone please help?? (network-orange)
I would take it back to the place that repaired it and have them address the issue. They may not have connected everything properly.

IPhone 3GS - Display Photos on TV via component cable
The original Apple Component Cable I bought does not permit mi iPhone 3GS to tranfer images to a TV screen.
I can hear the iPod music, but I can not see both Videos (selected from the iPod mode) and Photos (selected from the iPhone menu).
Even if I select the play button on the picture I can not see anything on TV screen. The slideshow starts on my iPhone only and only the music is tranferred to the TV.
Thanks for your help!Got wrong cable from Apple.

My Acrobat XI enlarges my desktop, and the program is also very large. I cannot see the whole screen because it is so large. When I end Acrobat everything returns to normal. I just want to use Acrobat XI to read pdf files.
Hi Pat, that is the problem I am having. I have tried to change my scale for screen settings to 100%, but every time I change it, the next time I open the program, it reverts to system settings. It is not saving the new change I made. I have looked all over for a save command but there isn’t any. I even went to my regedit settings and did exactly what the instructions say. Still the same problem. Everything is at least 200%. Once I exit the Reader, everything reverts to normal. What am I doing wrong? Or what else can I do?
Thanks.
