IPhone 3GS Wi-Fi adapter problems.

My iPhone 3GS, running on IOS 5.1, is not staying connected to Wi-Fi correctly. I know it's not my router because other wireless devices are having no trouble connecting to the Internet. Is there anything you can think to do to fix this problem?

Thank you for this but for my similar problem this hasn't worked. We have two Iphone 3GSs and two Ipads in the house. Three devices see our wifi no problem. One of our 3GSs just stopped seeing our wifi SSID. It will find the wifi when it is a few feet away from the router but then just fades as you walk away.
The bluetooth seems to beworking fine, which leads me to think it is a software problem. I have reset network and all settings. Still the problem persists. Any thoughts and ideas greatly appreciated? Justin

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.

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:

Has the software on your phone been modified at some point in the past?

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 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.

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.

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 reception and connection problems, HELP!

My iPhone 3GS is having mutiple issues, including battery life, making and receving calls, making and recieving texts, and connecting to the internet. Lots of calls that people try to make to me never show up, and ones that do drop. It takes a few trys to get my calls to go out. Texts are the same way. Internet is sluggish and has trouble loading things without WIFI. My phone also has an overall sluggish-ness.

I tried again to restore last night. But now, restore wont complete. An error comes up after the firmware download to the phone. Now the phone is in recovery mode?
I went this morning to the Apple store - no appointment, silly of me :\. they they didn't have any open appointments today, so I made one for WED Morning, untill then, I will pull the sim card and put it into my trust old Blackberry curve

IPhone 3Gs e-mail address problem ... They won't delete

Hi all,
I have an iPhone 3Gs.
One of my contacts has changed his e-mail address.
i have altered it in Address Book and changed it. The old e-mail address still shows up when I am trying to send him an e-mail (The new one also does0
I have deleted the entire contact from address book on my macbook and synced. I have re-entered it in address book and resynced.
The old e-mail address is still showing up.
The new one also does.
A clue ... the new one says WORK: before the new e-mail address ... the old one does not have a classification.
How can i get rid of the older e-mail address.
I seem to recall reading on this forum a while ago that stuff got stuck in cache or something.

Yes, there is email address cache/dictionary. Unfortunately, the only way to clear that out is to perform a Restore in iTunes, and set the phone up as new (not from backup, since the cache is part of the backup). That means you'd need to reload all your content, re-enter all your preferred settings, etc.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

IPhone 3Gs and My Computer problem

When I hook up my 3Gs to my pc, iTunes recognizes it, it will sync and charge with no issues. But when I open "Computer" it does not show up. Now I can get it to show up, but I have to reinstall the device driver every time.
Running Win 7 x64 Ultimate.

What you wrote might have sense but it doesn't explain why it stopped working suddenly. I change the cord for a brand new and I tried different computer with Vista...still have a problem. I don't have any pictures downloaded from email or other devices but I have more then 1000 of them... I would try to put my iphone to a factory settings but it means loosing all my pictures..at least these that i haven't been able to copy to my computer.

ITunes version 9.1 and Iphone 3GS version 4 syncing problem

I updated my Iphone to the newest (4.0) software but when I plugged it in, it came up saying that the Iphone "Iphone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 9.2 or later but when I check for updates and the pop up comes up saying A new version of iTunes (9.2) is available. Would you like to download it now? and I press Download iTunes, it says my software is up to date. How can I fix this problem? It doesn't even recognize my phone any more. I tried downloading the new iTunes from the Apple website but to no avail. Help!

try deleting itunes completely off ur computer and then re install the latest version and see if that works

Iphone 3GS on ios6 sound problems

Hi,
I have just updates a 3GS to ios6 and am having sound issues. The only time all the sounds work is if the phone is plugged in (it doesn't matter if it's a dock or to a computer or to charge). When it is not plugged in it will play songs for approximately ten seconds before the sound cuts out, it will play the ringtone but not the text tone. The majority of my apps have no sound, and some show that the sound cannot be changed (the little speaker has an x next to it rather than showing the volume). It seems to work fine when headphones are plugged in.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
Thanks

Unfortunately you are stuck if the water indicator has turned red...now I don't mean to argue with you when you say it's never ben wet...but I will say that in order for the indicator to turn red it MUST have a fairly good amount of water or moisture contacting the indicator...that said if you say you treat it like gold then the only possible answer is that someone got it wet that you showed it to or maybe your kid got it wet and didn't tell you...bottom line that indicator doesn't turn fully red without a good amount of water coming in contact with it...so I'd really look at friends or Fam that has touched the phone...
Part two...the fix...sadly with water damage there are no magic fixes...the questions you asked at the bottom about why can they still hear you etc...this is a side effect of the iPhone being partially damaged nd not enough to stop the MIC from transmitting but enough to stop the earpiece from giving sound...you say the speaker works and headphones work...
It is possible that over time the iPhone will again operate properly...for now...I'd go and find a bunch of those little packets of Silica Gel balls that come with many items and stick them all inside a ziplock bag with the iPhone for a good week...DO NOT USE RICE ...use the packets of Silica Gel...This is not a 100% fix but it's the best shot you have of getting operation back that you desire...
If the indicator is red Apple and any authorized agent will NOT be able to warranty the iPhone. There are several out of warranty options but if I remember correctly water damage is not onr of them...you'll have to verify that with Applecare or a store...
