IPhone 3Gs keeps restarting ever second I've tried everything that I possibly could but nothings working...
Ok I have noticed alot of the same posts but my iPhone 3Gs is restarting every second not minute. It started when I went to restore my phone cause i saw for some odd reason i had over 2gb of memory being waisted by "other" what ever makes that up, anyways so after i restored it I told it to restore from back up ever since then it keeps restarting. help please :-/ ???
Then the next step is to try the process again, this time restoring as a new iPhone rather than from backup. (The restore may not have worked if the source of the problem is contained in your backup.) If restoring it as new doesn't resolve the problem then it is probably a hardware problem and you will need to take it to the Apple store for evaluation. I would save a copy of your backup to your desktop before proceeding so it isn't accidently overwritten. If it is a hardware problem and you end up replacing the phone you will want to restore your new phone from this backup in order to keep your data and settings. You will find the backup at one of these locations:
Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

Iphone 3GS keeps restarting after ios 4.3.2 update! Help please.`
So I recently updated my uncles iPhone 3GS from a very old version 3 something to the latest. It randomly restarts within about 5 minutes of using the phone. You could be in a call and it would just shut down. Any help on resolving this issue please?
Sorry unit was upgraded to iOS 4.3.3. Unit is now out of warranty by 23 days. I would like to think out of courtesy that Apple would replace my iPhone for the inconvenience caused by the upgrade as the phone was working perfect prior to the upgrade.
Please help Apple!!! -
So i have an iPhone 3GS and when i move the phone while its restarting, a white screen shows up, and sometimes i need to punch it to turn it on. HELP i dealt with this problem for months and im sick of it! HELP ME!!!!
Sounds like hardware failure, called boot loop. Call Apple and or go on apple.com and make Genius Bar appointment to have your iphone reviewed by a Tech. Provided you iphone shows no physical or liquid damage they will take care of you, or if you have Apple Care Plus

My iPhone 4 keeps restarting it's self & Won't Charge
"APPLE HARDWARE/SOFTWARE PRODUCT PROBLEMS WITH MINE & WORLDWIDE"
1.
24-06-2011
As from Friday 24th June 2011 when I purchased my iPhone 4 it Won't Charge, stays in the red & go above 5% even after 2-3+ days no difference charging plus I tried x4 different Apple charges but it made no difference at all to the problems with the iPhone 4.

iPhone 4 keeps restarting it's self every 30 seconds
3.
24-06-2011
I do a system restore many times via iTunes
4.
I do a hard reset by holding the power & home button for 45sec x5 times
5.
I do a battery calibration by holding the power & home button for 25secas I'm told via online forum
6.
Just finely get the iPhone 4 updated to latest 4.3.3 OS via iTunes
7.
I leave iPhone 4 to completely dis charge where it won't start at all & then recharge it where charge holds for a couple of hours but then only to turn itself off when the power meter is reading 64% but won't restart after pressing power button.
8.
So I pug the iPhone 4 back on its charger for a couple of hours but it still reads only 1% battery power so I do another by holding the power & home button for 25 seconds as I'm told via online forum up to which the battery meter reads 96% as to will not charge no higher than 93-96% but again the seconds later the iPhone 4 again starts keeping restarting it's self every 30 seconds nonstop all over again.
9.
Nothing has help with this piece of Apple ****.
10.
Reading more online forum where this is a very common problem with it seem that all iPhone models, iPad’s, iPod 4 it also had similar problems as did mine.
11.
Just finely get the iPhone 4 updated to latest x4.more times of the iPhone OS via iTunes which has made NO DIFFERENCE to the continued problems with this APPLE PIECE OF CRAP.

Now upgraded to iPhone 4 iOS 5.1.1 & it now continues to REBOOT/RESTART every three to five second regardless of whether it’s plugged in or unplugged NOW & the ONLY way I can get some sort of charge into it is to turn off the iPhone 4 completely but only after it already plugged in to the power & after it’s already restarted it’s self again buy holding the POWER BUTTON down plus flicking the Phone shutdown touch screen button across But still not fixing it’s problem regardless of how many times I’ve upgraded the iPhones 4 iOS MAKING THE iPhone or any iPhone so far totally the most useless mobile phone I’ve ever had/owned & I’ve had a lot of Mobiles over the years that when I get them I test every feature they have to the max in order to make sure there are no problems with it but this time I’ve discovered that Apple iPhones are a piece of TOTAL CRAP and contacting Apple is imposable to do & Vodafone is almost just as bad & certainly not buy email HA?Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
Any help would be much appreciated!! -
i've iphone 3GS. ios 5.1.1 i've a problems that it turnoff itslef. when i'm trying to turn it on. it just appear apple logo then go to black . keep trying till gives me battary is empty and must charge it. once i plug in it. its open and i found the battary as it 70 % for example( not empty ) if anyone try to call me its appear to me turn off but doesnt give him the mobile is turn off . its rining. please advice
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

My iPhone 4S keeps restarting. At first, it wouldn't lock so I let the battery wear all the way down. It recharged, but then started prompting to power down as though I had was pressing and holding down the power button. I would hit "cancel" to return to whatever I was doing but the power down message would keep reappearing. I tried resetting it and now the white apple icon just keeps appearing and disappearing every few seconds. I'm running OS6.
Try a hard reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will turn off but when the apple logo appears release both buttons
If the issue remains you would need to try and back up and restore your iPhone. Follow the articles below to do this:

My iPhone 3GS keeps powering off at any point when between 5 and 50% battery remains.
I could be in the middle of texting, receiving a call or using an app when all of a sudden the screen goes black and very faint randomly distributed lines are visible from the top of the screen to the bottom. The display looks a little like a barcode. I am then unable to restart the phone without plugging it into a power supply. I've looked on the Internet and cannot find a similair case.
It is so frustrating and I am continually thinking it will crash at any point.
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
ThanksWhen the "white symbol" is the white Apple logo, it is starting up....
Can take some time. -
IPhone 3GS keeps rebooting iOS 5
I am at the stage that I am HATING having spent £300 on a phone that messes up every week!
My iPhone was running absolutely bang on on iOS 4.3.3 but like an idiot I decided to update it to 5.0 !
Now that it has been updated it has been running fine for like a week, however last night when I put it on charge it keeps restarting every 3 minutes for no absolute reason!
I switched my phone off and on again and still does the same thing!
I connected my iPhone to iTunes on DFU mode so that I could try to restore it, however no success!
So I went online and checked for new updates, found out that the iOS 5.0.1 was out which could be why Apple is playing with me?
I again connected my iPhone to iTunes and went for the update (my iPhone is still in DFU mode) it downloads most of the iOS 5.0.1 684.9 out of 685.0 MB and gives me an error saying network connection interrupted?! I tried it 4/5 times! Always does the same!
I do not know what to do anymore!
Please HELP!Here is a solution I found searching the web. It worked for me so i hope it will help you guys out.
OK.........Finally I found the solution for sim problem with update 5.0.1 and the solution for fixing the iphone 3gs keeps rebooting or keeps restarting after 3-2 minutes?
for fixing the sim issues with update 5.0.1 or the rebooting problem do the following:
Take the sim out
enable the 3G and cellular date in network setting
than insert the sim back
the netwok will register your sim via 3G not GSM
than after 3 minutes turn off 3G and cellular data
congratulation………your problem had been solved?...Im not an expert…but its seems this update 5.0.1…is not suitable for 3GS phones as they have ( special tapfro turning 3g on and off)this update is suitable for iphone 4?which enable automatically 3G.
The apple should have warn all 3GS phone about that ………not waiting some one not expert like me to solve it out?
Anyway……………have a nice day every one -
TS2634 iPhone 3GS keeps shutting down
iPhone 3GS keeps shutting down apps unexpectantly - restarting or restoring doesn't address the issue - anyone know how can I fix this problem?
Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try each of these in succession until your problem is solved. If your problem does NOT get solved, you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

My iphone 3gs keeps going black and to a "thinking" icon
my iphone 3gs keeps going black and to a "thinking" icon and will do this for a long time and won't stop till I do a forced shut down. It's all sporatic as to when it does this. Plus it's adding pictures to contacts that don't normally have pictures and taking them away from ones who do have them. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have iOS 5.1.1 on it still b/c my iTunes won't download the newest verision of the iOS (yes I have the most recent iTunes on my laptop, yes I've tried multiple different times to download too) but I've heard others say not to put the newest iOS on the 3gs b/c it locks them up.
Try doing a reset on your iPhone,
Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back. -
My Iphone 5 keeps restarting it self
Hello.
My Iphone 5 keeps restarting it self the apple logo appears then it fades and restart and this process go on and on.
I Restored it several times and it did not solve the problem.
I'm using ios 7.1.1.
On ios 7.1 or erleir I had no problems.
Pleas help me I can not use my Iphone.Hello elfuego81,
It sounds like you are unable to stop the phone from rebooting over and over on its own even after several restores with iTunes. I would next attempt resetting the device with this:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next put it into recovery mode, and perform another restore as outlined in this article:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

My Iphone 5 keeps restarting every 2-3 minutes
My iphone 5 keeps restarting every 2-3 minutes. its never been dropped or water damaged. I can hardly use it at all. The phone is only 4 months old bought brand new. Has this happened to anyone else? how can i fix this?
Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem. -
I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly.
Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again without letting me take any action. Is there any solution?Hey, There are afew things you can try.
- Simply turn your phone off and back on again
- Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
- Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
- Close all open applications
Hope this helps!
