IPhone 3GS Freezing

So after an hour and a half on the phone with AT&Ts tech support/ trouble shooters, my Iphone 3GS is still freezing during phone calls, and you cannot end a call!! Also while on the phone when I try to play my apps, my phone freezes and will automatically restart itself!! After all the problems from this phone we finally got connected to APPLE, who told us the phone would not be replaced, even though it IS under warranty!! So I am now reallt aggravated, and am probably going to be switching to a HTC Inspire 4G!! at least they also have an adobe flash player!!

So Apple told you on the phone that even though your iPhone is in warranty they refuse to honor the warranty. Is that the words they used? Or did they say to send it in or take it to an Apple Store for diagnosis?

  • 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).

  • 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 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 when synching

    Since updating to iTunes 10.6 and ios 5.1 today my iphone 3GS keeps freezing at the last step when I'm synching it with my Mac. It's saying 'Waiting for items to copy' but it stays like that for ages each time I've tried to synch it. The only thing I can do is unplug the USB but the iphone still keeps trying to synch so I have to shut it down completely and then turn it back on.

    Have now tried this but still getting the same problem when I try to synch.
    It's currently saying 'Synching photos to "my iphone" (Step 6 of 6)' and then underneath "Waiting for items to copy" with the wavy bar below that but with no indication of progress along that bar if that makes sense.
    On a couple of the previous attempts to synch I left it like this for an hour to see if it was just working through something but it just stayed like this!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!
