IPhone 3Gs Issues: Anyone can help?
Hey guys,
After updating my iPhone 3GS which was working perfectly in ios4 i updated to ios5 and now I have a whole lot of problems that I have never had before.
My problems are :
1. Safari randomly just shuts down. It is still in the multitasking bar but my screen flashes black and then it goes to the home screen. Sometimes this happens with other apps aswell tough not as frequently as with the Safari app.
When i go and see in the diagnostics reports there are always lowmem warnings, could this be causing the safari crashes?
Also when i multitask to my settings app it always has a black screen flash.
2. Battery life drains at around 5-10% an hour with all the possible "fixes" i have found here on this forum. Even when on airplane mode it still loses 15% over night.
I tried recalibrating my battery as some users stated that this would help (dropping it to 0% and then recharging it completely) but when it shuts down at 0% and i plug it in my macbook it just has a yellow screen untill it boots up again. Is this yellow screen normal? My iphone used to just show the red battery with charging icon when depleted?
Also tried the mail account delete and re-add trick, disabling locations services, push notifications, wifi synchronisation, icould etc and as a result i now have a phone with 0 possibilities and still drainage of 5-10% an hour
Also i had charged it to 100% and it stayed like that for 30 minutes then it went to 95% in 10 minutes, went downstairs and it dropped to 77 in 2 minutes or so?? How is that even possible?
I really don't know what to do anymore? Love my iphone and it is an awesome phone but I can't use it properly in this state.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Kind regards

after i use 4.3.3 for iphone 4. the notification for facebook and yahoo do not work. what is wrong? anyone can help?
I am also on my forth hard drive on the same model.
When I unpacked the computer, the hard drive did not include OS X either. Actually, it was completely blank. Did not even have a partition table! I have also had random problems with the machine not charging.
I have replaced the drive myself with an SSD after figuring the Apple Certified technicians were incompetent. Now even the SSD is starting to fail
I have bought an HP laptop and setup Ubuntu on it. Hope it turns out better than my previous four various Mac models. All have had various repeating hardware issues that Apple Certified technicians have been unable or unwilling to correct. -
My Iphone 4 suddenly blackout and restart by itself. After that it reach the restore screen. Tried to do restore but it come out Error (9). Anyone can help?
I tried to restore in normal mode and DFU mode, both of it still give me error (9).
I tried using other cable and computer but it still the same.
Anyone out there having the same issue that can share?
Is this a hardware or software issue? My warranty already over and have to solve this problem by myself.
Please help.Did you check your security software settings?
Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Hey Nathan,
I know it can be a bit frustrating to try to get a version of an application that will work on an older iOS version. This article explains how to do it -
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

i have iphone 5 and when i connect it to my Sony S series laptop it does,t show any conectivity and does,t charge the mobile. there is no topic in user mannual as well. anyone can help me please????
Make sure that it is connected to a USB 2.0 port and not a USB 1.1 as 1.1 will not provide power for connectivity.
Try it in a different USB port and see if it works -

Hi, my iphone could not be activated after upgrade it from IOS4 to IOS6, it shows that is due to activation server is unavailable and no sim card in the iphone. Anyone can help me please?
It is 99% hacked/jailbroken iPhone to use a different carrier than intended. You have to put the sim from the original carrier or ask them to unlock the iPhone. We as well as Apple cannot help you with this.
