IPhone 3gs spec changes?

Right, I'm wondering... I got a 3Gs 16gb early this year - literally one of the first when it came on Vodafone. However it broke over the weekend (NO SERVICE), and yesterday I was given a replacement "exact same model" (I tried for a white one - voda were out of stock when I first got.. but meh, they said had to be the same ) etc.. however from the second I held it it was different, seemed heavier (I had both at the same time and the new one was definately heavier - the other half agreed.. and have noticed the battery performs differently (better!!) has better wifi signal and general reception, screen seems more responsive etc...
Its not the software etc, as I did a restore from my old iphone backup so is exactly the same setup.
Has apple done some secret little tweaks to the phone itself since the original that would explain the different feel of weight and performance? Its bugging me, I just want to know how the weight change etc is expained.. or was my first 3Gs the dodgy one etc...

Definately is heavier, just got a 3gs off a colleague who got theirs back when I got mine, quick trip to the kitchen and put on the balance scales and mine drops everytime, so is definately heavier...
Im most confused...

  • I can't access email from my iPhone 3gs since changing email password

    Hi all,
    iPhone 3s 16GB
    iOS version: 6.1.3
    ISP Bigpond Cable
    I can't access my email from my iPhone 3GS.
    This is an iPhone problem, not an ISP problem.
    I know this because I can access my email from both my laptop and webmail.
    This is occurring here at home via my WiFi network and also a few kilometres away via 3G.
    This morning I had to change the password on my Bigpond Cable internet email account.
    Whenever I try to access email from my phone I receive the following error:
    "Cannot Get Mail"
    "The user name or password for "**** *****" is incorrect."
    There are two buttons, one captioned Settings the other OK.
    Both the user name and password are correct. This happened perhaps 4 or 5 times in the 6+ years I was with Internode and has happened a couple of times in the 20 months that I've been on Bigpond Cable.
    I have re-entered my email account and connection details multiple times to no avail.
    I have tried deleting the account, then rebooting my phone and creating a new account, but that didn't work.
    I tried deleting the account, turning the phone completely off, waiting one minute and then after turning it back on, creating a new account but that didn't work.
    I know I am entering the correct settings because before I deleted the account the first time, I took a series of screen captures from the Settings App and I also have the settings from MS Outlook to refer to.
    Its as though somewhere in the phone, the old email password is being stored and being used instead of the new one, but I don't know where that could be except in the Settings app, "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and that is where I am entering the new password.
    The only solutions to this problem I found by searching are those that I have already tried and haven't worked for me.
    Reverting to the old password is not an option. My account was compromised by Malware, hence the password change and a complete scan of my laptop.
    Any ideas?

    The problem was resolved by erasing the entire contents of my phone and then restoring it, setting it up as a new phone.

  • IPhone 3GS + Mac OS 10.4.11 + iTunes 9.2

    Just bought a iPhone 3GS, tried to connect to a PowerBook G4 15" 1.67 GHz running Mac OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2. iTunes pops up and starts trying to connect to the iTunes store but does not suceed after 10 minutes. Any suggestion?

    Your problem is the 3Gs no longer works with 10.4.11. You need to upgrade to 10.5.7 or try to install the old OS onto your iPhone which does work with 10.4.11. Not good news I know.

  • Since updating my iPhone 3GS on my friends laptop, it keeps asking for her iTunes Id not mine. When I log onto a computer it comes up with my Id but from my phone it's my friends. I don't have an option to change the user Id when it pops up either.

    Hello, 34sandy. 
    Thank you for the question.  This behavior is normal if updated on another Apple ID account holders computer.  To change the Apple ID on your device, follow the steps in the article below.

  • HT1296 I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7.  The basic calendar is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. How can I fix this?

    I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7.  The basic calendar data transfer is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. The birthday entries in my Outlook contacts have correct dates.How can I fix this?

    The following peocess corrects the calendar entry:
    edit the contact & change the birthday, save the change; edit the contact & change the birthday to the correct value, save the change again. The calendar entry then displays on the correct date.  Alternatively as a temp solution I can just de-select the "birthdays" calendar which stops the icon being displayed.
    Thanks for your advice, I think that it's n going to be a slow process to fix all the entries for not much return.

    I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
    Anything I haven't tried?
    HELP!

    A bit confused by your statement

    Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
    I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
    A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
    You can try to borrow and  use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
    Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

  • I no longer have any contractual obligations, and i have iphone 3GS and iphone 4, I want to change carrier, but my phones are locked. Help

    I no longer have any contractual obligations, and i have iphone 3GS and iphone 4, I want to change carrier, but my phones are locked. Help
    I live in Lithuania.
    BR

    Contact the carrier the devices are locked to.  Apple has nothing to do with this and will not unlock any iPhone for end users.
    If the carrier offers unlocking and you meet their requirements, they will then submit the information to Apple to have the device unlocked.

  • How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

    How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.

    Hi littlemansa,
    If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
    Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results. 
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

    I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

    Generally that is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
    or hacked to work with other than the original wireless provider. The update
    has relocked the iPhone to the original wireless provider. You must
    contact them to see if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
    Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • I want to change the sync on my laptop from my old iPhone 3GS to my new iPhone 4s,how do I do this?

    I want to change the sync on iTunes on my laptop from my old iPhone 3GS to my new iPhone 4s,how do I do this?

    maybe be more specific...
    you can sync multiple devices to the same itunes account on the same laptop.  Simply plug in the new iphone 4s and check off all the settings you want to sync (apps, music, playlists, books, videos, etc).
    If you want your iphone 4s to look exactly like your 3gs...
    1. do an icloud backup of your 3gs
    2. restore your iphone 4s to factory settings
    3. when setting up the phone, choose "restore from icloud backup"
    4. choose the most recent icloud backup (should display the date and time of the 3gs backup you just performed
    5. phone will load everything just as it is on the 3gs... onto the iphone 4s

  • Outlook & iPhone 3GS: calendar date change issue.

    I am using Outlook 2007 & iPhone 3GS - both fully updated. 
    When I set up a recurring full day event (such as a birthday) in Outlook and then sync with iPhone the dates get changed and moved by a day or two (ahead of time).  This does not happen with regular appointments that are only set up for an hour or so.  It seems to be only with full day events?  The change is also made in Outlook - like the iPhoen takes precedence.
    Can someone help please?  This is a real pain in the ***.

    can you confirm that the "software release" for your OS is 10.3.1.1565 ?
    I did this to try :
    create a calendar event on my Passport, set for sunday 8th, and save it, and close the calendar app
    open the calendar app, go to that even and edit it.
    I can click on the "All Day" line, right under the participants list, this opens a new page
    In that page, I have:
    at the top the date
    followed by the 7 days of the week
    right underneath a line with two dropdown menus : Event Starts / Event Ends
    and then a line with the Timezone, and the toggle "All day" that is set to ON
    and finally a dropdown menu for repetition.
    I can tap on the "Event Starts" dropdown menu, and it opens and I can choose another date.
    Do you confirm that this is what you are trying to do?
