IPhone 5, not working while it's charging. Anyone else having this problem?
I'm wondering if I'm the only one that has a problem when using the phone while it's connected to the charger. I will try to text or attempt to go into an app and the phone takes me somewhere else or it will just not recognize my touch. Anyone else? Should I take my phone back?
Disable it for good:
Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom OFF. -

my 2 month old nano only works while charging, i've tried resetting it and still the same.
You are still under warranty. Either call iPod tech support - U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) or take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

IPhone 3GS Stopped Working... Won't Turn On !!!
Hi Guys
My iPhone 3GS was working fine for the last three months and all of a sudden stopped working this morning. While trying to open a web page on Safari it died. Unable to turn on or off. Screen is blank and if I try to turn it on the Apple symbol comes on for less than a minute and the screen goes blank again. Tried connecting to iTunes and no luck. My computer wont even recognise the iPhone.
I left it to charge on the mains charger for a few hours and still no luck. I have a lot of important information which I cant afford to loose. Unfortunately I did not backup the phone recently. Any ideas how I can get this problem resolved.
Regardsthis happened to me about last weeek!and ive only had my iPhone for less than 2 months. i activated my iPhone 3GS on VoiceOver (to see what it was) and i obviously tapped something, my iPhone wasn't working for about 6 days until i had the courage to turn it on. The Apple logo came on and so did the lock screen (for about half a second) and then it went blank, i think i used 3 or 2 fingers (try both!) and tapped the screen either 2 or 3 times (try both again) to turn the screen back on. so do all these combinations!
use 3 fingers and tap 3 times
use 3 fingers and tap 2 times
use 2 fingers and tap 3 times
use 2 fingers and tap 2 times
if it does work use random fingers and tap a couple of times. but when you do these combinations, WAIT for each of them as it may take aover 5 seconds for the screen to turn on again. if nothing works I suggest you take it to an Apple store (if you have a warranty)
tell me if it helped! -
My iphone 3Gs only has wi fi access within 1 to 2 meters from router
My iphone 3Gs only has wi fi access within 1 to 2 meters from router. It had been working normally for the last two years. I changed wifi modem a couple of months ago but still worked fine until a couple of weeks ago. I have the same problem with other wifi networks. The iPhone only picks them up if it's within 1 to 2 m of the box.
I've tried turning the phone and the modem on & off, restoring the phone and different wifi networks - no change, still has the same problem.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong or what I could try next?These are the symptoms of a loose or detached Flex Cable # 6 at the top of the Logic Board.

I have had similar issues backing up to iCloud. Thy only thing I have found to work every time is backing up to iTunes and then doing a restore to my new device. That includes iPhone 6.

Same here, I get no sound from videos, text messages. This happens for a while, then it works again then it doesn't work. When I go to settings, my "change with buttons" is on but buttons don't work. I have restored it but there is no change. Here is a picture of my screen when i try to change volume.

IPhone 3gs turns off while having 60-80% battery
hello, iphone 3gs turns off while there is enough battery to be consumed. Round about 60 to 80 percent battery is more enough to keep alive an iphone for a whole day long. what suggestion you recommend, help asap......
You could try to disconnect and after a few minutes reconnect the battery. That theoretically resets the phone BIOS and is supposed to help regarding the reboot issue (see post by NIKKOH007) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2471090&start=2055&tstart=30
Or replace the battery altogether with a newer, iOS 4 compatible battery. At iFixit.com they have come to the conclusion that not all batteries in the 3GS are necessarily iOS4.x compatible or a battery defect may be exposed after updating.

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.
ThanksAre 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 -
