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.

You're not providing much information to go on, either for your iMac configuration or what is happening when it freezes. See these two FAQ's for some ideas:

My volume on the iPhone 3GS is very low. Is it an equipment problem, settings problem or update problem? And, is there a fix other than having Apple fix it?

Have you had a look here to make sure it is set up how you want it...

Itunes7 freezes very often ... even no chance to quit it

Hello everybody,
I have a pretty large itunes library (150 GB) on a external (usb) harddrive. After upgrading to itunes7 the app freezes very often. With freezing I mean: The app doesn't react any more, I have a spinning ball as a cursor.
In the dock I see "application doesn't respond" (in german ...). "Quit at once" in the dock doesn't help. Even more STRANGE: When I use "quit at once" from the apple menu, the process disappears in the list, but itunes is still displayed as running in the dock (black triangle below).
Please help!
Thank you!

Hmm - I think that it's time for an appointment with an Apple tech! Do you have an Apple Store or an AASP nearby? You've most certainly a hardware problem - the GPU on the 13" model is an integrated GPU so if you've a GPU problem, the entire logic board will need to be replaced, which can be quite expensive. Let's hope it's a RAM issue which can be fixed relatively cheap.
But go ahead and call the Apple Store and make an appointment to have your machine tested.
Good luck,

My iPhone 4 crashes very often (3-4 times per day) and sometimes (2-3 times per month) all my apps disappear and I have to restore them with iTunes. I downloaded all the system updatings and I also tried to restore my device, but I still have this issue

If you haven't already, try restoring your iPhone as a new device, not from a backup, and with only the apps Apple includes. Then see if the problems persist. It's possible that a corrupted file on the iPhone is causing the problems, and that could perhaps be coming back onto the iPhone if you're restoring using a backup. Problems with an app could also be causing problems. If the problems persist after restoring the iPhone as "new", then you almost certainly have a defective iPhone and will need to contact Apple for servicing.
If the problems go away after restoring the iPhone as "new", then you can start putting your other apps back on and see if the problems reappear; if they do, you probably have a badly-coded app.
Regards.

Downloading new operating system iPhone 3gs freezes during restore

downloading new operating system iPhone 3gs freezes during restore

I was only able to restore the phone after booting into Windows and using the Windows version of iTunes. Kinda pathetic.

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 loosing signal

Hi there,
Maybe some of you iphone 3GS users have the same problem? ...or maybe a solution?
Since I received the automatic software upgrade (iO4) to my iphone 3GS, it freezes and looses its signal on places I had signal before. The 3G connection gets very unstable and worst of all it can't find signal at all when i cross country borders. I have to wait 4-5 minutes in ”settings” to get the operator list and then manually chose one from the list. 2 out 5 times it works the rest of the time I have no signal for hours when I cross boarders.
Moreover With my phone, typing often become annoying. One of the first letters I hit pops up, but then stays stuck as I continue to type. It catches up eventually, but without the visual cues that I’m hitting the right keys, it makes typos an inevitability.
Furthermore, opening very basic apps has gotten slower, and apps crashing to the home screen is much more frequent.
I have a lot of text-messages I dont whant to loose so I'm hesitant to make a factory reset yet!

I was just having this problem, too. I tried turning the phone completely off and then back on, which didn't work. But then, I double-clicked the Home button to bring up my multitasking list (whatever you want to call it) and closed every program running, which was basically every app on my phone.
That seemed to do the trick for me.
Good luck!

My Iphone 3GS is very very slow after 4.0 and 4.01 upgrade

Hi,
I have upgrade my iphone 3GS to 4.0 and 4.01 version and now this is getting really worse than with V3 OS version. I have reset it several times but it continues working slow. Is that normal with the new OS? Can I return to Ve IOS?. This is not the Iphone I buy and the Iphone I want

I have been having problems with very slow performance with both upgrades. With 4.0, I tried resetting my phone to original settings, then synced, but this didn't help. Just trying to activate the area to put the URL in Safari (or the Google search area) often takes forever, same with filling in forms on the web. And Mail has been very slow as well -- it takes a long time for the data to come up. I don't remember having these issues with iOS3.

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.

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.

Syncing to iPhone 3GS - Freezes when Photos are synced, after 1st sync

Using iTunes 9.1.1.12 and iPhone 3GS 3.1.3.
When syncing, the sync freezes when Photos are included to be synced. It just hangs at the end of the sync process, and never completes.
If I don't include the Photos to be synced, it syncs fine.
If I then choose to re-sync the Photos and delete the folder: "iPod Photo Cache"... It re-syncs fine again (and places all photos on iPhone). But if I immediately sync again, without un-checking Photos to be synced, it hangs again at the end.
Please help.

They are scaled down.

IPhone 3GS error - very strange

Something really awkward happened with my iPhone 3GS today.
As I wanted to transfer a song to my iPhone, I connected it to the iTunes and have been through the classic procedure of synchronization. However, certain errors occured already during that time. The loading bar, situated on the top of the iTunes window, showed that the synchronization was complete to about 95% - and it stopped there. I shut iTunes completely 20 minutes later, but the mobile screen showed that the iPhone was still being synchronized. Then I ended the synchronization manually on the iPhone by swiping my finger on the cancel toolbar, and then I shut it down, just to be safe.
The problem is that the iPhone has been shutting itself down for three hours now. I see nothing but a blank screen with the round loading symbol. The iPhone hasn't freezed - it just won't turn off. I tried everything - I connected it to the iTunes, but iTunes says that it cannot connect with the iPhone due to an "unknown problem". I pressed all the buttons on the phone, but it just doesn't bring me anywhere. The phone keeps shutting itself down, but it doesn't switch off completely.
What am I to do?

Hold HOME and SLEEP at the same time for 10-15 seconds, until an Apple logo appears. If the phone does not restart see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Before doing this, however, disable your firewall/antivirus and connect the phone only to a USB port directly on the computer, not to a hub.
