IPhone 3GS On-Screen Keyboard Problem!

The number, space bar and return key on my iPhone 3GS on-screen keyboard is not working until you tilt it to landscape mode! When I tap the number key, it activates the cap key. When I tap the space bar,depending on weather I'm taping the left, middle or right, it will activate the "X, C or B keys, respectively and when I tap the return/done key, it will activate the backspace key! This problem happened suddently about two days ago!
What on earth is the problem and can anyone please help me?
Thank you very much in advance!

Try pushing the "home" button twice rapidly to get the multitasking bar to open. Hold on the icon for the app store for a few seconds until you get the option to close it. Then try reopening it and see what happens. That will probably fix it.

  • IPhone 3GS and Nike+ Remote problems

    I've been using my Nike+ Sensor and Nike+ Remote watch with the iPhone 3GS and have noted problem. (I also have an 4th Gen Nano which works flawlessly with this kit)
    The fast forward and reverse buttons work to "skip" to the next song or podcast, but have lost the functionality to hold them down a FF through the song or podcast.
    Anyone else have these problems?

    The spoken feedback problem must be a bug. It happens to me sometimes and it can be fixed by either turning the phone off and back on or resetting it.

  • My iphone 3gs has a vibrating problem where the phone continuously vibrates

    my iphone 3gs has a vibrating problem where the phone continuously vibrates

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, set it up as new device: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If still no luck, get it checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple:
    iPhone - Contact Support - Apple Support
    Has the software on your phone been modified at some point in the past?

  • Iphone 3gs red screen

    My iphone 3gs got red screen.
    Already try to restore to factory default & even restore from backup but the screen is still reddish.
    Is it a screen problem & needs replacement?

    If restoring as new (without using a backup) didn't help, this is a hardware issue.  Take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your area.

  • IPhone 3GS touch screen responds slowly or not at all since upgrade to 4.3.3

    Ever since my iPhone 3GS upgraded to OS 4.3.3, it behaves strangely.
    The following happens from time to time, not all the time, but often enough to be annoying.
    Reaction time of screen touches is slow or, worse even, when I touch an app (any app), it dims and then nothing happens, until I tap the screen on various spots, then the app where I pressed the last time opens up.
    When typing a message or email, characters duplicate (not all the time).
    When I want to delete ONE character, the whole text is deleted, slowly, one character at the time, and I can’t interrupt it.
    When I want to scroll through screens, nothing happens….until suddenly multiple screens scroll by.
    When I scroll down, like in Twitter, from time to time nothing happens or suddenly a tweet highlights all by itself (!!); when I try to continue scrolling down, that highlighted tweet opens.
    When I close an app, it closes but the screen is not responsive (like above in #1).
    I took off the screen protector.
    I shut down and restarted several times.
    I rebooted several times.
    I restored the iPhone several times.
    To no avail…..the same annoying and unpredictable problems pop up.
    My mobile phone company (Orange) has no clue, though they suggest to “send it to Apple” which may take 6-12 weeks (!!!!).
    The Apple importer in Israel (iDigital) has no clue and is not helpful at all: they claim they don’t handle iPhones.
    Last, but not least: Apple doesn’t give any iPhone support either, not online, not by phone, nothing…..
    Anybody can help?

    No replies.....nothing from Apple, of course.
    Update:
    1. Orange had the phone for 2 days....and did nothing.....got it back in the same state.....claimed that there was "nothing wrong"
    2. Meanwhile the iPhone was responding slower and stranger, opening apps by itself, disconnecting phone calls without touching the phone, freezing, impossible to scroll down (only up), impossible to answer phone calls because the screen wouldn't react......getting madder and madder
    3. So with no "repairs", help or advice I did the whole rebooting and restoring bits again.... with ONE difference.... I restored first as a new phone and then again a second restore using my backup..... it took me almost 1 full hour........ BUT IT WORKED...... and I'm using the iPhone now as if it were brandnew..... the only setback is that you have to rearrange your apps from scratch, login your FB, Linkedin, Twitter, etc. anew, reload your pics and music, and in fact redo ALL your settings.... cost me 2 hours.
    BUT COULDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME?

  • IPhone 3GS Set Up Mail Problems

    Hi,
    I´ve just update the version of my iphone 3GS to 4.3.2.
    The problem is that now the option to leave the massages on the host simply dissapeared.
    If I delete the messages in my Iphone, the messages is beeing delete on the host too.
    Someone can help me about it?
    Tks,

    You can access a Charter email account as a POP account only.
    Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
    When accessing a POP account with more than one email client, only one email client at a time can access the incoming mail server for the account. The incoming mail server will temporarily lock out a 2nd email client that attempts to communicate with the incoming mail server when another email client is doing the same checking for new messages and while downloading any new messages at the server. This is a POP account limitation.
    This isn't a problem with an IMAP, but Charter doesn't support IMAP account access. I'm not aware of any internet service providers that do.
    You can access a Gmail account as an IMAP account, which is free. A Gmail account also has an authenticated SMTP server which will provide for being able to send messages with the account regardless the internet service provider being used for your internet connection at the time. Doubtful that Charter has an authenticated SMTP server.

  • IPhone 3GS battery spoilt, firmware problems.

    Hey Forum,
    I am using iphone 3gs and i recently found out that my iphone battery is faulty, i want to ask u guys if under these circumstances, is it faulty?
    Problems:
    -Fully charged in around 3 hours from 20% to 100%.
    -Recently found out battery decreasing quite quickly(i think so, not 101% sure)
    , btw, i restored my iphone software for around 3 times in a row due to some problems and around 7 times in total. I am a kinda paranoid person and sometimes when something happen to my possessions i juz can't sleep because I kept thinking of it, so I just want to hear from you guys if something is wrong from restoring firmware and that it can cause harm to my phone.
    And would be really grateful if you guys can help me out, thank you so much, i really need to put my mine at peace.
    Thank you.
    Regards
    ALa.

    There are other threads out here with things to try...Look for those. If you try all these other suggestions and are still having drain issues, restore as a new phone, and don't add anything back yet. Just browse web, youtube, maps, txt, etc for a while, as well as standby...Let it go for as long as possible, and see how your battery holds up. If it's not ok at this point, then do a DFU mode restore. If that still doesn't fix it, then I'd say it's a trip to the Apple store for you...If this fixes the issue, then add back ONLY 1 thing at a time. Mail first usually, and watch for a while to see if it drains again. If not, proceed to next item(apps 1 at a time). After each added item, watch for a while to see if it drains ok. Should be able to narrow it down to the culprit. I know this takes quite a while to accomplish, so patience is needed, but as has been previously stated, it's usually bad or corrupted data in a backup that causes this...I had posted in another thread of same issues here. I was fine after the 4.2.1 update for quite a while(enjoying almost 3.1.3 battery life), then for reasons yet to be determined, mine started draining. I went into Settings where the Tethering item is located, and it was constantly clocking on that. Usually it clocks for a few seconds, then says Setup Tethering. Well mine was stuck there, so i think it was constantly using something. A hard reset cleared it, but I still have to try and figure out why it did that. I just don't have the time right now. I will most likely try as restore as new phone at some point. Apple did something though, because like I said, I'm enjoying almost 3.1.3 battery life now. I think it may have to do with cell radio, as I've seen something about NCFD being supported now in 4.2.

  • Iphone 3GS battery or software problem??

    Hi everybody,
    I am using my iphone 3gs since 2 years. I have a problem, my phone turns off randomly when the battery level is at %20 or % 30. I dont know exactly when it is started. I thought my original battery is dead and i replaced it by new battery. But the problem still is here. My phone still turns off. Is there anyone who found a solution for this issue?
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Good day

    هي تركض IOS6؟ إذا كان الأمر كذلك التفاح ربما كتب رمز حماقة لجعل 3GS تشغيل سيئة واعتقد انك سوف الترقية إلى بعد 5 فون، نعم الحق. فإنها تفقد مرتين، فإنها تفقد عادتنا ومنافس يحصل على أعمالنا، رمح.

  • Iphone 3GS - windows 7 - syncing problems with windows live mail

    I brought a new iphone 3gs last week and tried to sync it with my new dell PC running windows 7 (with windows live mail).
    It wouldnt sync, so I read the forums and reset the sync history through itunes.
    This worked, and synced my iphone to the computer. It appears to have backed up all my contacts on the iphone to somewhere on the PC (cant find where) but it hasnt copied the contacts from windows live mail to the iphone
    Have I confused anyone??

    have you tried using imap instead?
    if you can access your email from the web page then sounds more like a problem with windows live mail and not your BT account

  • IPhone 3GS overheated, screen kind of burned.

    My iPhone 3GS was overheating 2 nights ago, the screen kind of burned for a few hours. I tried to cool it down by turning it off. Turned it on the next morning, screen went back to normal, but some of the icons are smaller than the other. I have Nikon Transfer on my MacBook, it would normally sync my iPhone photos. iTunes sync is working fine, but Nikon Transfer won't sync anymore. Would be okay if I still sync it through my MacBook? Would it affect my MacBook Pro?

    It won't hurt your MBP.

  • Skype on Windows 10 tablet - on-screen keyboard problem

    Hi,
    I would like to point out, that Skype on Windows 10 tablet in current state is unfortunately completely useless. As modern version of Skype has been depreciated in favour of desktop version (http://blogs.skype.com/2015/06/11/a-more-efficient-skype-experience-for-your-pc/), desktop version is the only way to go. However it seems, that no one has tested that version on any Windows 10 tablet, because apparently nobody has spotted, that because of different behaviour of on-screen keyboard, message textbox, as well as latest messages are covered by that keyboard.
    Switching keyboard behaviour (docked/not docked) has no effect.
    Please fix that as soon as possible, because in current condition, usage of Skype on tablet is basically not possible.
    See attachment for the details.
    Thanks a lot!

    It's been almost whole month since Windows 10 premiere, and still – nobody from Skype/MS has interested in this problem. Thanks a lot...
    That's kind of pathetic, that "so awesome and great" OS on tablets lacks of basic functionalities, such as IM. The funniest and saddest thing about it, is that other platforms, like Android and iOS has Skype working on tablets, but not MS, as the owner of the Skype itself...
