IPhone 3gS problem

Hey guys,
I've got a problem with an iPhone 3gS, the volume bar in the 'iPod app' doesn't respond properly, The bar moves but the volume doesn't change. Tried resetting and that didn't work. The only thing that worked for a short time was turning it off or syncing it. I then sent it in for repair and got a replacement but a couple of days later the problems came back and it's now alot worse.
Does anyone have a clue on how to solve this?
Cheers,

How are you listening? Via headphones, then internal speaker, or a dock? If it's a dock, in some cases output is controlled only by the dock system, not the iPhone itself.

    This indicates a serious hardware failure.
    Take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • IPhone 3GS Problem/Touch Controls no longer respond after random intervals

    Hi all,
    I need some answers regarding my iPhone 3GS 32gig, which was working perfectly until about a month ago, after I upgraded to firmware v3.1.
    The touch screen 'locks up' i.e. it won't accept any input via the screen and seems to happen at random intervals, but the app continues to run. If I leave it long enough, it'll accept input again after a minute or two, otherwise, I hit the sleep button and then the home button to wake it, and it obeys my commands again. But only until the next time. It can occur using ANY app but really ***** when I'm de-stressing with a good game of Space Invaders Infinity Gene.
    I've tried all sorts of things to correct the issue based on what I've read on the web, foremost, restoring the iPhone from a backup. That didn't help. I had about 500meg of free space left and thought maybe it needs more than that to function perfectly, so I deleted a lot of games and apps (mostly lite versions) and freed up enough space so that 1 gig was left available. Still no help. Tried restoring again, still no change.
    When the 3.1.2 update came out, I hoped it would fix it. Alas, no.
    Push notifications are turned off for my Mobile Me account, and for all the other apps that allow push notifications. I'm with Optus, not that that would make a difference (?).
    Given that apps run one at-a-time, I can't believe any single app could be causing this behaviour, and I don't like the idea of trying to find out what that app might be if it is by copying them individually back to the iPhone just to see when the problem comes back again.
    Oh yeah, and I've not jail broken my iPhone. Seriously.
    Can anyone make any other suggestions? I imagine resetting all settings from the Settings screen will delete my progress on Space Invaders Infinity Gene, so I'd rather not if I can help it.
    Thanks in advance!
    - Alex

    Not that it helps, but a me too here.
    It randomly seems to stop responding for a while.
    I often find I cant skip tracks in the music player etc.
    This is a brand new stock phone, upgraded to 3.1.
    Sleeping and turning on again seems to fix it, or waiting for ages

  • Will someone please answer this, major iPhone 3GS problem.

    SOMEONE ANSWER ME!!!!!!
    I am almost about to give up hope with this. I have posted FOUR questions with no answers, so someone please answer this one.
    My iPhone 3GS has never  been jailbroken. A couple of months ago now, the bottom half of my iPhone screen became unresponsive so I thought I would try to restore it to see if it would make it alright again. Worst mistake of my life. It is now stuck in recovery mode and will not come out, for anything. I have had various different error messages, i've tried everything. All the software programs, holding home and power and whatever else. Nothing. When trying to restore it, it will come to the last part of the bar and fail. Every single time. I really could do with some help on this one. Please.

    Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414  It's look like your iPhone needs to be repaired, the digitizer is damaged and it could be causing the problem of not letting your iPhone completely restore.  Take your iPhone to your nearest Apple store.

    Take it to an Apple Store and have it checked out. You could have a hardware issue there if the SIM is not being recognized.

  • Updating a iPhone 3GS - problems

    I have bought an old iPhone 3GS for my daughter and it had no wifi showing.  I was advised to do a software update via iTunes however it is now stuck on the iTunes connect / connected page.  If i connect to iTunes it scans and then an error message appears on the itunes page saying "sorry we cant continue with your connection at this time"
    If i switch the phone off and back on i am still stuck in the itunes set up - can anyone advise me? Before at least it was a working phone with internet connection now it won't do anything!!  Thanks

    I think this can help you. I researched on iphone biggest problems and find out the solution. Take a look and find out your solution. iPhone 10 Biggest Problems Solution

  • Iphone 3gs problem with network after upgrading to 5.1.1

    Hi...
    I have Iphone 3gs and requested official unlock from my provider. They said they did it and all I have to do is connect it with iTunes.
    I had ios 3.x and upgraded to 5.1.1 through iTunes.
    But now after upgrade, my phone is not unlocked and niether works with original card.
    3G network is one second ok, after one second drops to 1 line, and after that I got No network.
    I managed to make call, but that call only last for 1 second.

    I wouldn't assume that.  Don't know anyone who changed carriers without canceling the original.  The intermittent connections he describes are typical of SIM card issues.
    The point is that your statement that "updating is not enough" is incorrect.  When he "updated" to iOS 5, a full restore was already done. If there were errors during that process, restoring again might help, but its not necessary to restore.

  • Replacement iphone 3gs problem

    Replacement iphone 3gs came with iOS 6.0 but on initial set up i am told to use my iCloud i need 6.1.3 onwards. Cannot update iOS as cannot get past the set up stage. Need to recover my 800 odd photos somehow. Do i go the iTunes route on set up? Will this help me to find my photos or do i have to set up with the cloud? Help if you can. Thanks

    You couldn't have restored your old backup because in order to do so you have to be running the same or higher version of iOS on your replacement phone.  Since it's running iOS 6.0 in can't restore a backup made on a phone runnin 6.1.3 until it's updated, which is why you got that message.
    Update your replacement phone to the latest iOS (7.0.4) by following the directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623.  After it's updated, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore from.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as it is restoring the backup.

  • IPhone 3GS problem PLEASE HELP!

    My iPhone 3GS battery kind of started to grow big and it bended my circuit board on the phone
    when i tryied to turn it on after an year, it would go to the apple logo and restart. i tryed to restore it via itunes and i got error 2001 and, now my iphone turns on with a white screen.
    1) is it possible to UNbend my circuit board?
    2) is my iphone ever going to work again?
    is it possible that if i get a new battery, it will let me connect it to itunes and make it work?
    also, even if i connect it to the wall with or without the battery, my screen goes white. is my screen broken suddenly or is it because the famouse white screen of death?
    THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    As Apple changed my iPhone in the service, I restored it with itunes and the newest firmware and the latest backup of the device.
    But now, my "original" Volkswagen telephone bluetooth adapter (to put in as a dock) is not working anymore. "The phone cannot be charged with this device" it's said. Why Why Why Apple is this so? Before this, everything worked fine

  • Updating apps on my iPhone 3gs problem

    Hi, my iPhone 3gs is set up for my normal iTunes account, but when i try updating apps on my phone, its asking me to sign into an old account that has no money in it, i can't even remember the password for it, how do i change this update login to my newer iTunes account, thanks for any advice you can give.

    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset and try again.
    Reset... No Data or Settings will be lost...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Iphone 3gs problem silent/loud

    I have a Iphone 3gs and if i press by the speaker on the front and let go it switches it goes on loud setting and back to vibrate?

    Mine has done this to! It started to do this about a year ago and I have had it for 3 years. It is annoying but you just have to leaen to live without sound. I don't see the point in paying to fix it if there is a new one comign out soon. If you are not going to be buying a new one then I think you should get it fixed, but it will probably break again another year after :/
