Iphone 3gs, how quickly does wireless strength sample

I have noticed that my new iphone 3GS will, after a while, report 2 bars of wireless in my house with an AEBS in it. If I power the phone on and off, it will return to full 3 bars. Does the Apple Store or ATT have any tool they can check wifi receiver on the iphone??

Ignore the bars, they're practically useless. From the phone app keypad, dial "star3001#12345#star" and press call. This will put you in field test mode and you'll see negative numbers in place of bars. They range from about -50 to about -120 with -50 being perfect and -120 barely a signal. Google this for more info than I care to write about here.

This should not take that long. Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

are you talking about voiceover where the phone is reading things out loud to you? you have to double tap things in voiceover in order to select them. you'll need to go to settings > general > accessibility > and turn off voiceover there

Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone call

Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone calls? I know this seems trivial but I have difficulty seeing, so one of the reasons I actually purchased this phone was for this feature. When the photos do come up they come up in the top right corner in small boxes / windows. I already google'd this topic and they suggested importing the photos - to itunes and than directly on to the iphone, I did this and it didn't work. Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either. I looked in settings and could not find anything that discussed this issue. Although I do believe I have seen iphones that ring with large pictures. Am i Crazy?

You aren't crazy.
Adding the photo to contacts on the computer gets you the smaller pix when people call.
Assign the photo on the phone itself and you get full-size pix.
Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either.
So, that certainly should work. Try it again? Try it with a brand new contact, maybe it is not overwriting a previously existing picture.
I suppose there is a small possibility that Apple thought this differing behavior was a bug instead of a feature and "fixed" it with a recent update, but I doubt it.

Has your iphone been hacked/jailbroken/unofficially unlocked?
This is generally the cause for this issue

How quickly does the basic iMacMini connect to a Sling Media account and then handle streamed Sling Media content? Is it possible to test this at an Apple store?

How quickly does the basic 1.4GHz/4GB/500GB iMacMini load Sling Media New Watch application and connect to one's account? Is this iMac fast enough to stream a video stream of approx. 2MB bandwidth without buffering (assuming an adequate internet connection) ? Is it possible to test this on a display model at an Apple store in the UK?
Thanks for your assistance

You said " 1.4GHz/4GB/500GB iMacMini"
There is not such thin. There is the 1.4 GHz.4G/500GB Mac Min desktop computer.
iMac computers are ingratiated computers that includes the display.

I keep getting error 1004 on the iphone 3GS - how do I clear this?

Yep Settings> Store....tap the ID...log out and then sign back in again.
I had to de authorise my computers when I bought my new iMac so I'm guessing my Iphone needed to just sign in again to authorise the device on my itunes ID.

How quickly does photo stream sync for you?

how quickly does photo stream sync for you?

I have seen some posts floating about here complaining that photos don't or at least don't immediately sync to all devices. I think a small number of these people may not realise that syncing requires wifi and not 3G, one must also remember this community is like a doctors surgery, it is where people come if they have aches and pains.

IPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS won't connect wirelessly at home when PCs are off.

Dear Apple.com,
I have been using iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS wirelessly at home no problems.
I use a MAC filter on an unsecured wireless network. Only entered MAC addresses can connect wirelessly.
However, when I turn off all the PCs at home the iPhone find the wireless network and show connected, but cannot browse websites.
The router Linksys WRT610N is always on, so the wireless connection and permission for the iPhone MAC addresses to access the wireless connection should work?
Any ideas?

Is your router a model that supports a/b/g/n? If you turn off N will it work? If your N is setup at 40MHz slots it may not work as well. Can you take your wireless router somewhere else for testing? I assume you might have some issue where you are at with your Mac and that router. When you open Apple Menu/About this Mac/More Info../Network/Airport does it show your network there? From a working machine can you see your Mac from your router web interface? FYI if your router was an Apple product(Airport Express or Airport Extreme/Time Capsule) you could see all your wireless clients via the Airport Utility, even signal strength and connection speed...

I have a iPhone 3GS, how do I download music on to it from itunes?

I Have an iPhone 3GS and I don't know how to download music from iTunes onto it. All it does is say 'preparing to update' then nothing. Help please!

Please get iPhone User Guide - iOS 6.pdf.
Connect it to the computer. Open iTunes. Select it under the Devices heading in the iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab. Click on the Sync button in the lower right corner of the window. This will setup your first sync and backup. After it is completed click on the Music tab in the iTunes window. Select the music you want to sync or click on the Sync All radio button if you want all the music synced. Of course, there must be sufficient space on your phone. Then click on the Sync button to transfer the selected music to your phone.

IPhone 3Gs Voice Control does not work

Purchased IPhone 3Gs 32g beside having no service were I live (AT&T is building a cell tower about a mile from my house) my Voice control only works about 1% of the time. For the Ipod I usually get some kind of error message “like listing not found” when it does find an album or artist it always the same one. I am sick of hearing Santana. For call when I do get a signal I also usually get an error message or if it works it pick on of my doctors and that’s it.
Went to the Genesis bar and they said it was a software problem, they gave me a new IPhone with my old sims card, but the did not test the new IPhone Voice control in the store because there were on contacts or albums in the memory.
Got home synced the new one and guess what same exact problem. I have read and tried everything on the internet and nothing has worked any ideas or suggestions ? Please help I tired of listing to Santana and calling Dr. Aronald.

There's a few things you can try that might help out.
No. 1 Make sure your genius results are updated. If you're saying "Play music like Snoop Dogg" it's going to try to make a genius playlist, and that might be why you have no results found.
No. 2 Speak slower. This might sound kinda dumb, I'm not trying to be a smartass. I found that my voice command worked 200% better when I spoke just a little bit slower. Not sure why exactly, but the difference was night and day.
No. 3 When calling someone (on purpose of course) it helps to sometimes add "mobile" at the end if the number is listed as mobile in your contact book. Usually you only need to do this if the contact has more then one number, but it helps even if they don't just to eliminate any ambiguity from the voice command.
Hope that helps!

Just got an iPhone 3GS, How do I connect to home WiFi network?

I posted this in the network discussion as well, but wasn't getting answers and I need to resolve this problem as soon as possible.
I just got my brand new iPhone 3GS. I just recently finished fully charging it and activating it. I am exploring my new device but I am getting extremely frustrated as to connecting to WiFi. I want to use WiFi for web browsing, but when I go to WiFi on my iPhone it says No Networks (or something of the sort). I try to enter in the name of my network (which I know). But I don't know what kind of security OR the password to the network.
I really want to enjoy this phone/gadget but I don't know how to set it up to connect to my network.
Can somebody help me in telling me where I can find the security type and password to my network.
Thanks!

Sounds like you (or a buddy who helped you) setup your home network to Cloak its SSID (name). Thus as you said, you need to manually enter it.
But from there, you will also need to know any Key (password) you set on it to join.
If you don't know those items, not much we can do to help (now I could always drive on by fire up airrack-ng suite and break in for ya)
You can always go to your computer, try to access your router (odds are http://192.168.1.1 ) via your browser.
Then see what settings you can get to.
If it was locked down, then I suggest going to your routers website and read up how to reset the router (odds are button on back you have to hold in for 10 secs) which will reset the router back to default settings.
All devices will then have to re-join your default network (real manual that came with router or get one online before resetting).

HT201328 after unlocking usa/att iphone 3gs , how to use it abroad with a foreign company simcard and service?

has an old iphone 3gs that was not in usage for awhle. I called ATT and had it unlocked officially. After resetting it here in USA I gave it as a gift to someone to use abroad with forign sim card and phone service.
However, at the foreign company office they were told that USA iphones can not be used outside USA.
Is that true?
So How can they use it abroad?

I'm fairly certain you should be able to use it abroad if it was unlocked by AT&T.
Did you restore it as a new phone and get a screen that said something similar to "Congratulations, your iPhone is unlocked"?
If so, it should work on just about any GSM carrier, though the other person would want to make sure their carrier supports the iPhone. I was able to use my US iPhone 4 in London just fine.
They may not have full functionality for data speeds outside the US, but that's the only issue I can think of. And I don't think that would affect the 3GS since it can't use anything faster than 3G anyway.
