Iphone 3Gs mail just stops working. Quits in the middle of reading mail.

Has anyone had this problem: While reviewing my email in mail, it just suddenly goes back to the home page? I've had this problem several times. Usually, I just have to restore the phone or delete the account and add a new one. But eventually, it comes back. Any solutions known?

  • The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working.

    The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working. I've already done a soft reset, hard reset, and restored it to a new device. What else can I do?

    When you are using other applications, or just on the home screen, does that area of the screen respond to touch?
    Steps to resolve issue (I understand you have done what you have but it's always good to try again):
    Clean the iPhone screen with the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the iPhone.
    Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
    If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
    The current application may not be responding (frozen), press and hold the Home button below the screen for a least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
    If that doesn't work, turn the iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the iPhone for few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't work, reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement, if necessary, even if your iPhone is out of warranty. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the iPhone Service FAQ.
    Tip: If you are going to take your iPhone into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your touch screen is experiencing unresponsiveness.
    Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
    To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the iPhone to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows. (An original iPhone must have iPhone 2.0 software installed to access the scientific calculator feature.)
    To test the touchscreen function at the top of the screen of an original iPhone without the iPhone 2.0 software, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. If the slider does slide, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears to turn iPhone on again.

    Hi Hamish1P,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like an app you installed is not working. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support

  • My iphone 5 speakerphone just stopped working today while on the phone?  whats going on?, My iphone 5 speakerphone just stopped working today while on the phone?  whats going on?

    My iphone 5 speakerphone just stopped working today as i was on the phone.  i have tried to use it, and it doesnt work.  THis really stinks because now im completly unable to video chat and do other things.. please help!!!

    Booked into the Genius Bar at the Apple store in the Manchester Arnedale shopping centre and arrived on time today.
    The staff asked if I had backed it up, which I responded that I had. I also explained that I had been on the forums and followed some of the advice.
    My iphone 5 was only 7 months old and still under warranty, so I should have expected excellent service, and I got it. The phone was repaired by the store and returned to me approximately 30 minutes earlier.
    Happy days.

  • ITunes has stopped working right in the middle of updating my new iPhone 4 software...

    I just bought the iPhone 4 (not 4S) and plugged in into iTunes. It did a lot of updating and downloading. It says right now under Summary, Software Version: 5.1. And the Updating iPhone software bar has stopped moving right in the middle of the line. My iPhone has that image of the USB with the white arrow below the iTunes logo on the screen right now.
    I cannot exit iTunes or the pop-up will say that the iPhone is being updated, do not exit iTunes.
    I am really unsure of what to do here. I tried two different iPhone USB plug-ins and that didn't help.

    First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

    The wifi just stopped working outside of the house. Now it's basically a calculator that I carry around with me.

    That's nice.  Hopefully you'll have some mathematical problems for which to use your calculator.
    Meantime, did you have a support issue?

  • Hi, I've tried charging continuously for 72 hours. But to no avail. It just stopped working out of the blue! I had only used it for about 1 month!

    Hi, I've tried charging continuously for 72 hours. But to no avail. It just stopped working out of the blue. Actually I believe I let the battery die off completely. When I tried charging it again, it never worked.
    I had only used it for about 1 month.
    I bought this in January at Best Buy, and still have the receipt. I was on long business trip and just got back. I can't get the 90 day customer service. How can I get this returned to Black Berry, they won't allow me to contact them without providing my credit card for incidence based service.
    Please help! Thanks.

    do any LED color happen when you plug it in?
    if only RED, then pug in until red goes out, wait 6 seconds and plug in again.
    repeat 3 times and wait to see if 5 green flashes while plugged in
    after 5 flahes, leave it plugged in for 90 minutes and it should boot up. if not hold power button down for 20 seconds and try again.
    You have 1 year warranty, choose option other when calling in and not phone support. This is confusing I  know.

  • TS1307 Why does send mail just stop working and how do you fix it?

    Using MacBook Pro bought last Chrismas and its mail client 5.2
    In the last 2 weeks send mail has stopped working for both my wife and myself (we have different logins / accounts / email address providers)
    We have tried different wifi / isp providers
    rebuilding the mail database
    accessing preferences and changing the default ports to specified port 25 and then back again
    taking the mail accounts off-line and then back on again
    deleting the accounts and then creating just one simple one (GMail)
    no change - send mail still does not go.
    What should we do now?
    What have we done wrong to cause this to fail in the first place?
    It was working fine, but now it is not.
    It is quite worryingand a fix would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

    Hmmm, here's the opposite problem/fix...
    Gmail send but not receive...
    Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
    1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
    2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:
    https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptch
    Is your gMail POP or IMAP?
    If IMAP...
    Is the Outgoing server smtp.gmail.com, port 25, SSL on, & Authentication = Password

  • Iphone 3Gs phone sounds stop working at random.

    I have an Iphone 3Gs and am having some issues with the phone sounds. I can lock the phone after its been working perfectly and come back to it in a few minutes and the unlock sound will be gone, the key sounds dont work and any apps that have sound will not put out any sound. The phone is never set to silent and the volume levels are always around the same level, also if I open the ipod the tracks will play but there will be no sound through the phone or the headphones/speakers and the onscreen volume level slider does not appear.
    During this issue the alarm will still sound out and the ringer still rings and the sms tone will still sound.
    I can rectify this by switching the phone of and on but this is happening more and more and Im sorry for seeming to over the top but this is a huge inconvenience and shouldnt happen in the first place.
    Is there a reason this happens and is there anything I can do to stop it happening again?

    I have the exact same problem.. Just got a brand new 3GS today, after my old one was replaced.
    The sounds stops working and at some occasions the speaker will play some strange sounds. Even noticed that when my gf tried calling the phone, it gave away a "phone to close to speaker-sound". If you know what i mean.
    I have no idea what to do, anyone?
