Iphone 3gs freezes all day every day

Ive had a read through about iphone freezing on certain apps or freezing occassionally but my iphone freezes almost every single time i use it. It freezes for everything, apps, songs , everything. It even freezes when i try to send a text. And i mean every time i use it , it may work for a minute but then freezes. Ive tried all the steps and nothings worked.Any ideas????

I found solution on this forum. He said the problem solved by reset all setting -> as new phone. (Don't worry, data is preserved). This works for me so far.. keep my finger cross.

I can't restart the iphone to reset or restore. I held the homebutton down and the homebutton + sleepbutton down at the same time. The apple doesn't even appear.
I've also tried connecting it to the charger. It's not charging and dosn't recongize it.
I tried connecting the phone to itunes on the computer to see if it registered and charged it but that didn't work either.

Try:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Iphone 3gs freezes constantly

My Iphone 3gs freezes constantly and does not respond to resetting. Will start working again after being left for long periods of time frozen then the cycle repeats itself. What is wrong with it and what should I do? Please help?

I don't know if restoring as a new phone will fix it, but you have nothing to lose. You can restore as a new phone, check it out, then restore your backup later (as long as you don't sync the restored phone).

Iphone 3gs freezes and reboots itself every now and then

Hi, I have an iPhone 3GS with latest firmware 5.0.1 and sometimes it just freezes and reboots itself. I tried to restore it as new, from backup, I upgraded firmwares but still every now and then it just reboots itself. Often when I start the phone in the morning it reboots several times in a row. Are the latest firmwares buggy or what? Please help!

I found solution on this forum. He said the problem solved by reset all setting -> as new phone. (Don't worry, data is preserved). This works for me so far.. keep my finger cross.

My iphone 3GS died a day before My Iphone 4 delivery date

My Iphone 3GS died 8/2/10. Turned it on this morning, And nothing happened. My delivery date of Iphone 4 is 8/03/10.

You can have your 3G(S) checked for maintenance at the Genius Bar if you plan on a hand-me-down option.
No it's not a conspiracy there. "Iphone 3GS died 8/2/10" "delivery date of Iphone 4 is 8/03/10" is pure coincidence.

IPhone 3GS freezes after 4.3 upgrade

2 days ago I upgraded my iPhone 3GS (factory unlocked) from 4.2.1 to 4.3. After this upgrade, the iPhone freezes and crashes constantly. Sometimes when typing the lock code, when starting any given app, when touching any button, everytime within one minute after restoring. When the phone is working, it gets no network (just WLAN). Provider is Vodafone.
After each crash, a full restore is required (which takes a lot of time), just to work for another minute or so. Using a different SIM card from O2 helps by not crashing, but all 3rd party apps do not work.
Going back to 4.2.1 did not work at all (tried all options), going back to 4.1 did not give me access to my backup.
This situation is a nightmare if you rely on your phone. And it seams I am not the only one having this issue. Just search for "iOS 4.3 3GS crash Vodafone".
When can I expect a patch of iOS 4.3 ?
Dirk

I am having the same issues with my 3gs. It is constantly crashing whenever i run any apps for more than 3 to 5 minutes. I have reinstalled and backed up everything but it is still having issues.

IPhone 3GS freezes very often

Hi,
I have a pretty new iPhone 3GS (since early january)
I use it with the 3.1.3 OS
The problem I have with it is that it often freezes with the little loading circle in the middle(like the one in the middle of the page here http://www.unwiredview.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/google-mobile-app-for-ipho ne-with-voice.jpg ). It happens when I'm using Calendar, facebook application, iPod application or even when I slide my home page from one screen to another. In other words, it only freezes when I'm touching the screen somehow.
I tried several times to restore it to fabric settings in iTunes using the Restore button, and it still happens after a little while (around one day later)
I'm a simple guy so I don't do really sophisticated things on my iphone: I only use it to make call, listen to songs and youtube/safari/facebook so I guess that isn't the problem.
Recently. I restored it again (for the 2758357285 times) and after few hours, I can't even open my iPod application. when i click on it, it shows a little the black background of the iPod, but then comes back immediately to the home screen.
My iphone capacities are getting lower and lower.
Can someone tell me how to resolve this problem?

Okay MAJOR resync problem !
You need to do a complete restore to factory settings and restore from backup - that 12Gb of Other is all corrupted files and data.
First backup the phone with iTunes and make sure your backup completes.
The do this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
You'll be fine.

IPhone 3GS freezes randomly and left with black screen with stripes

Hi
Have an iPhone 3GS currently running on ios 6.
It was freezing a few times a day (or more) while under ios 4 so I upgraded and did a full clean restore and have only downloadded a few apps since.
But the issue still happens. I have lots of battery life and I can be playing a game (without wifi), or web browsing, or downloading something from iTunesU and it just decides to stop working - although it hasn't happened while on a call if that helps. Screen goes black and usually has stripes on it. Resetting doesn't work, although I try, but have found if left alone for 20 mins I can then restart it again. I have no apps running in the background, and have follwoed the usual steps to get it started again. Very annoying and neither a clean restore nor software upgrade has fixed the problem.
Any ideas on what I can do - or if this is a hardware problem??
thanks in advance for any help.

I am not sure what you mean by "white strips" but have you tried to pull the firmware file and place it in DFU Mode and restore as new?
Skip Step #2 in this article, TS1813 - Support - Apple and change all the word "iPod" to "iPhone" then use this, iClarified - iPhone - How to Put an iPhone Into DFU Mode to place in DFU Mode. If this does not fix it, the iOS needs to be serviced.

What to do if your iphone 3GS freezes on the apple logo and wont respond when you try to reboot it?

My iPhone 3GS keeps freezing as soon as i turn it on. I hold the home button and the power button to reboot it and it just wont respond to anything. It just stays froze on the apple logo with the black background and nothing else.
