Iphone 3gs restart itself

how to solve this problem

It sounds like your iPhone 3GS is damaged. Here are two things that come to mind:
1. You could take it to an Authorized Apple Service Provider. Here's how to find one:
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
That provider might offer to sell you a refurbished iPhone 3GS replacement for a fee.
2. You could consider purchasing an updated phone, since the iPhone 3GS came out four years ago.

My iphone 3GS updated itself to ios 6 and never started to work

My iphone 3GS updated itself to ios 6 & then things went absurd.
iphone kept restarting after showing apple logo. The issue continued even after a complete restoration. Apple service now says firmware got corrupted and so I have to pay 9500Rs (200$) and get a phone replacement of the same model. And there is no other solution.
Can anyone give any other solution or else is it worth to get it replaced for 9500Rs.
I have spend money for no real hardware issue and apples improper firmware methodology and updates...

This is what I posted to someone else having the same issue:
I having the same issue about the and iTunes says "The iPhone cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.". I've had the iPhone 3GS since it came out. It was working fine until I just tried to update it. It has NEVER been hacked or jailbroken. WE AND A FEW OTHERS are having the same issue then it is more than likely that this is an update issue. I took mine to the Apple store and the tech tried to update it and he came to the same problem and told me he couldn't update it. My assumption is that we are not the only one's with this issue and that if there was a way to update it to the update before this last one it might be a solution. I don't know how to get the previous update. Apple probably is aware of the problem, and hasn't come up with a solution yet. Or, enough people haven't complained yet. The tech suggested that there might be something wrong with the phone itself, but that couldn't be since it was working perfectly before I updated it and others are having the same issue. It is highly unlikely that a lot of people are having the same hardware issue all of a sudden at the same time. Apple/iTunes needs to fix this... and hopefully soon
Also: I can update or restore my iPhone 5 and other iPhones so it is not an issue with my firewall or other software on my computer. No one touches my iPhone or my computer they are secure, locked all the time, and I have no jailbreak software on my computer (Apple tried it and they are clueless at the moment from what I can tell).

IPhone 4G restarted itself

My iPhone 4G restarted itself five times already since I updated it to 5.1.1, can somebody tell me what's wrong? I'm getting really worried.

First problem you have is your phone. There IS no iPhone 4G. There's an iPhone4 and and iPhone 4S.
Second, basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
If you've gone through ALL the troubleshooting steps and you're still having the problem, then you most likely have a hardware issue and will need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

Why my iphone 5 restart itself when I make a call on facetime?

When I make a call on facetime, sometime my iphone 5 was hang, then black screen and restart itself.
At the first, I think it's because my ios is 6.0 so I update to 6.0.1 but it still restart itself. What should I solve this problem?

Thank you

IPhone 3Gs rebooting itself now stuck on boot

Hello,
I've had my iPhone 3Gs since February 2010 making it as of this post 1 year old and 3 months over warrantee. Last week my iPhone started randomly turning off and on again and it was happening a few times each day. It began to reboot itself more frequently, to the point where I couldn't use the phone because it would turn off mid text-message and during phone calls. I grew frustrated and decided to put it into recovery mode to restore the phone, as people on these discussion threads recommended with no luck, it was giving me an error code 29 right when it got to the part to upgrade the firmware (I believe it didn't make it to this point because the phone would turn off). I tried this several times when finally it worked! I restored my iPhone and loaded the backup I had made and charged the phone up and went about my day. As the battery drained it turned on and off more frequently and then went from 30% to 3%. It now will not charge whatsoever on the charger, or through my MacBookPro. It will not boot up at all, but flashes the apple logo then turns black and it keeps doing this over and over. Itunes won't even recognize the iPhone as being connected to my computer.
I don't know what to do. I have never jailbroken this iPhone or tampered with it in any way, and I'm very disappointed that this product is showing such huge issues after only a year of use. Right now my iPhone is completely unusable and I'm hoping that somebody has an answer for me to fix this.

On My iPhone 3GS started with iOS 4.3 and 5.0 did not improve even with the 5.0.1. When started, the device shut down at around 43% battery. Every 2 or 3 weeks the problem got worse ... 53%, 65%, 75%, 86%, 96%, 98% and 100% now it can be turned off.
I realized that if I use the internet through the 3G off at around 98%. If you use the internet through wi-fi, off at around 86%. If you use 3D games off even faster. The first shutdown can be restored by resetting the system (home + power). But after the second or third, it asks to connect to an electrical outlet, the battery even when it was full. If you make a small charge, enough to start the system will turn off at the next mark (percentages cited above). I started using the iPhone always connected to an electrical outlet (house or car).
Recently I made a painful test: I turned off the 3G, wifi and data transmission; stopped to use all the features of the iPhone, except for calls and SMS. The GPS was on, but I did not use any application that needed it. As a result, the battery lasted about 4 days and declined up to 6% (when it fell during a call). I was very glad to review the battery alerts (20% and 10%) after so many months. Then I waited 1 or 2 hours and recharged the phone to 100%. I noticed that charging was much slower than what was occurring before (and remains so since then). But until now I did not notice a difference in the problem.
Other users with the same problem say revert to factory settings did not fix the problem. There are no Apple Stores in my country, only representatives and mobile phone carriers, but the assurance of my iPhone expired in May 2011, in addition, here we have the iPhone 4S world's most expensive (between US$ 1419 and US $ 1,855), the which means buying another iPhone is a last option. Buy another battery would be easier, but I question: if the problem is the battery, why work properly when does not was required 3G, Internet, games or gps?
It would be nice if Apple responded something like "we are aware of the problem and are working on it." At least we could hope to keep until the next update.

My iPhone 3GS restarts repeatedly. Cannot be restored even in DFU Mode Restore.

My iPhone 3GS crashed and restarted on its own while running the Pandora app while plugged into a USB and charging. After it would finish starting up, it would say "activation required", as well as showing "no service" where there should have been service available. It would then restart after about 30 seconds to a minute. It would do this repeatedly in an endless loop of restarts.
I tried to do the "DFU Mode Restore" by holding the power and home buttons for 10 seconds, then holding the home button only until it connected to iTunes. The phone did have the black screen, and iTunes told me that the phone was in recovery mode and needed to be restored to be usable. The restore seems to complete, but in the end it fails. It says, "the iPhone "Iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (1)." It just leaves me with a screen showing that I should connect to iTunes with a USB cable.
Also, it shows no information on the phone in iTunes (capacity, software version, and serial number all show up as "n/a").

IPhone 3GS restarting on its own

My iPhone 3GS has started turning on and off repeatedly by itself. It will turn on the the Apple logo screen before promptly turning off. This continues until I hold down the power and home button at the same time. I have everything on this phone and would like to keep it all there. Any suggestions?

Verizon iPhone 4 restarts itself various times throughout the day since the last update?

For some reason, both my and my mom's iPhones restart at the same exact time. It's weird that I notice this, but since it's been going on for weeks now, I realized that both phones restart multiple times after midnight each night. My iPhone has been restarting itself more than my mom's, probably restarting itself twice every hour compared to hers twice a day. It's really frustrating because if I'm in the middle of something, it will restart out of nowhere and won't save my work. It keeps getting worse. I noticed this problem happen after the iOS5 update. I really don't want to take both phones in to Apple, for the nearest Apple store is miles away. Is there any way to solve this problem? Both are Verizon iPhone 4s and have the latest software update.

It could just be coincidence... If you have the Weather Channel iPhone app installed, they released an update last week that contains a bug which keeps location services active all the time. It will drain the battery VERY quickly. You can either shut off location services for the app or delete it. It appears they have released an update to the app this morning that apparently fixes the problem (too late as far as I'm concerned. I'll never touch their app again after that fiasco).

Iphone 3gs restarts on apple logo.

Hi i have an iphone 3gs i bought from ebay nearly a year ago. I bought it jailbroken on IOS 4.1 i think and i have not used it for 3 months. I replaced the battery a week ago. It just shows the apple logo the restarts and keeps doing that forever. I tried turning it of and putting it in dfu mode but keeps doing that. Itunes wont pick it up and as soon as i pull the charger out i turns off and there's no battery. Please help!

okay try this
Connect the iPhone's USB cable to your computer, but not your iPhone.
Turn your iPhone off. If the phone won't turn off in the traditional manner, just keep holding the buttons until the screen goes dark.
Once you've turned the device off, press the home button on the face of the device and plug in the USB cable to the device's dock connector.
When it turns on, keep pressing the home button until the iTunes logo appears on the screen.
You'll know the phone is now in recovery mode because a window in iTunes will tell you.
You can then start the restore process by clicking the "Restore" button in the iTunes window.

please help me. i can solve that? or i need to go to technical assistance in my phone company?
thanks...

You are not talking to Apple here, we are just users, and many will view another users problem and not respond because they have no idea what to say or do, However, according to Apple's support document regarding restore errors http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

My Iphone 3gs turns itself off and resets the date/time to Jan 1st 1970

Hi all,
My 3gs turns itself off (need to use the top button to turn on) and when it restarts; the time has been reset to Jan 1st 1970 at 00.00.
This has happened a few times; what is wrong and how do I fix it.
Cheers
Simon

Hi Simon,
I recently got a new refurbished phone because my old one suffered some water damage. About a day after i got the new one it started doing the excat same thing yours is doing. It didn't matter if i wasrunning applications or not, the phone doesn't get hot or anythign, it just turned off.
Sometimes when i turned it back on the date and time have not been reset but a little while later the phoen would turn off and the date would reset.
I spoek to the Apple support team on the phone yesterday and they told me to take it back to the store i went to but first try the latest update.
Did the latest update last night and it seemed to be working fine until this morning when it turned off and reset the date/tme on turning it back on.
Ive since made an appointment with the Store i originally went to for tomorrow and also for the support team to call me today.
I'll update here if they say anthing new or somethign that helps.

How can I backup if the backup always gets stopped and the iPhone 4S restarts itself (iOS 8.1.3 12BA466)?`

When I try to do a backup it always starts itself new. My photos and notes are synced but all the other apps not anymore since December. Plus since this weekend it refuses to go on the internet. Since January it restarts itself about 20 times a day. Music takes 30 seconds to loud. And all this despite this was a replacement model from the AppleShop bought just 1.5 years ago. I

Be sure your device is activated on this PC.
Use only Apple branded USB connections.
Search for iTunes Updates.
An good way for easy backups is the iCloud, but you may need to purchase additional storage to do so.
Cheers,
Charly
