Iphone 3gs--No power!!!

I tried to turn on my iphone, all i've got is a black screen with the spinning circle for the last half-hour. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks...

make sure the device isn't plugged in to the computer or power source
soft reset by holding the sleep/wake button (on/off) and home button at the same time
sometimes electronic devices get stuck or freeze on a screen if there are too many applications running at the same time
to open the multitask list: double click the home button while on the home screen and can close applications by holding finger over the apps then tapping the red minus

TS3212 how to reset my iphone 3gs without power of batery ?

how to reset my iphone 3gs without power of batery?

Your phone has "told" you it was dying; you didn't listen. You ignored the broken power button, you ignored the frequent crashing, and now your battery is probably dead. And despite this, you never thought to import the "important" pictures and data off your phone?
If you cant turn on the phone or get it recognized in iTunes, there's no way to access the data.

How can I get my iPhone 3Gs to power up?

I shut my 3Gs phone off overnight and then turned it on,set it in the Belkin holder in my car, and fiddled with the radio to set up a station for play. The phone went dead. I tried to get it going again. I held the start button down and no luck. I kept the phone in the holder for a 20 minute trip and tried to get it to start again. No luck. I plugged it into my computer and there was no recognition. I searched the web and held the power button down with the home button - still no luck.Currently it is being charged at an AC outlet, but there is no life on the screen - no low battery - nothing - dead. Any suggestions? I've had thiis phone for just over a year and it is my life line. I use it mostly for listening to podcasts and use the apps regularly. I regulary charge it when the battery is low. I love this phone and I am never without it due to health problems. I keep it updated. Is there anything I can do? Thank you.

My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

The "fix" is to get the phone repaired. There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

1. broken power button
2. cant be seen on itunes.. not even the mac!
3. stuck in recovery mode.
4. dosent sence a computer.

You are right there as a weard issue try with the battery comes out and then try to connect to the itunes should be working properly, if not fix the power on/off button because are escential to do it.

In an iPhone 3GS (or 4G), can a user configure the WiFi power-save to extend battery life?

In an iPhone 3GS (or 4G when I upgrade), can a user configure the WiFi power-save operation to extend the battery life? For example: Can a user turn on/off WiFi power-save operation? Can a user specify WiFi sleep duration? Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

Yikes! Thanks, Templeton. Do WiFi app programmers have control over power-save settings? For example, can a first VoIP app be more energy-efficient than a second VoIP app?

Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

IPhone 3GS failed to power on!!!

Gosh! my iPhone 3GS failed to power on today after upgrading to the latest version firmware~ I've tried to reboot and gave it a hard reset (Home Button+Sleep Button), but it's not working... I totally can't swith it on! Plug it into PC and also charger, still nothing happen after 30 mins... Anyone has this issue? I felt that iPhone 3GS is not running iOS 4 smoothly~ cause my calls drop often, usually 5 mins during a call... I saw many people are complaining about this drop call issue too~ Wonder when can Apple fix this~ Moreover! MR. Jobs took a medication leave today!!! How're we gonna expect a bug fix??

DFU Mode
Step 1: Launch iTunes.
Step 2: Plug your iPhone in your computer via the USB cable.
Step 3: Turn off your phone.
Step 4: Hold the Power and Home button together for exactly 10 seconds.
Step 5: After 10 seconds, release the Power button and keep holding the home button until iTunes tells you it has detected your iPhone.
Just as an FYI Steve Jobs does not actually do the "bug fixes" so I think you may be ok... there are a couple people still working at Apple.

I have a iPhone 3GS and the power connection prongs are damaged and it won't charge or sync. Is there any way to repair?

I have a iPhone 3GS and the power connection prongs are damaged and it won't charge or sync. Is there any way to repair? Or, at least is there a way to charge so I can write down phone numbers and othe rinformation. My power charge is totally out right now.

If it will not turn on - you have zero chance of getting anything off the phone.

Hi, beth.lau.gr.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you have been experiencing issues with your iPhone restarting and showing you a blue screen. I wont be able to give you an exact answer as to why this is happening. However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue. This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it

Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".

My iphone 3gs is totally dead and not charging if I will connect to power connector too

My iphone 3gs is totally dead and not charging if I will connect to power connector too
It shows only the battery charging sign when I will coonect to power connector and press menu button. But if I will put it for whole day or night too , It is not charging.
Please tell me what I can do.
I am so frustate.
Please help me.
Thanks

Are you currently plugging it into a computer? If so, try plugging it into a USB power adapter. It's possible that you're trying to charge it from a low-power USB port, and that's not enough to sustain your phone and get it charging.
If you're still unable to get it to charge, schedule a visit with your local genius bar at apple.com/retail
