IPhone 3GS with iOS 5.1 ,no GPS, weak wifi, no iMsg

Soon after  I upgraded my phone to iOS 5.0 iMsg quit working, the GPS quit working, and it will barely pick up a wifi signal.  I have now upgraded to iOS 5.1 and the same features are still not working.  As for the GPS I get the triangulated location, no GPS location.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

My wife has an iPhone 4.  We share a iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts.  I sent her a message from my iPad and it showed up as coming from her.  Just thinking this might be part of my problem.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5209 might help you.  An iPhone 4 can airplay content from apps that support airplay and iTunes but it cannot mirror.  If your game does not have airplay in the app you cannot mirror it to the apple TV so I don't know if you can play just the music.  You should have no problem playing your iTunes over airplay though.

  • Unable to restore iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4 (error 1013)

    I recently updated my 16GB iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4 (iPhone2,14.0_8A293Restore.ipsw) using iTunes 9.2 - it worked fine for a few days then all of a sudden I got a pop up message saying "you are unable to make or receive calls, please connect to iTunes". I did so and restored the firmware, it went through the whole cycle, unpacked, installed, verified and when it was about to be completed I got the following error from iTunes:
    "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1013)"
    The phone remained in restore mode (iTunes icon and USB cable). I tried restoring again with the same result. I then deleted the firmware file, rebooted and reinstalled (same error). I then deleted a reinstalled iTunes (no dice). I tried alternative USB ports and cables and also tried on 2 other computers and tried all this in DFU mode too yet nothing has worked.
    I would also like to point out that it is an original O2 phone with O2 chi[p that has *never been jailbroken*. Any ideas as to whats wrong? Or what I can do? Thanks in advance for you help!

    OK, so nothing else was working so I took my phone into the Genius bar and explained what had happened. The Genius said He was unsure what error 1013 was so he looked it up and explained "It's an error related to the baseband and that more than likely the phone was unable to communicate with Apple servers as Apple had the phone marked as non existent"
    He continued to explain that there was a fix he could do but would be quicker and easier to replace my phone. He did so and I left happy.
    I recomend you just take your phones in if you are having this same issue!

  • IPhone 3GS with iOS 5 and storage space/app problems... Please read and help

    I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS 5. Before the update I had a load of apps etc and was left with approx 4gb space left. Since the update removed ALL my apps from my iPhone, I still have the same ammount of space. Why is this?

    Hi,
    Are you sure your phone has not been unlocked or jailbroken at some time as the same thing happened to me.
    I had the phone secondhand and did not know. Updating to IOS 5 locked the phone back to the original service provider which was AT&T in USA and I am in UK.
    Hope this helps,
    Alan

  • I've updated my iPhone 3gs with IOS 6 but being only 8GB it now has no space for data. Can I go back to IOS 5.1?

    I've updated my iPhone 3gs with IOS 6 but being only 8GB it now has no space for data!
    Can I restore back to IOS 5.1?

    It sounds like you have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone.  When you update, it will indeed lock it back, as it should.
    The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which they are locked and no U.S. carrier does this.

  • Why Does My iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.0.1 Cause Rapid Battery Drain

    I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.0.1, and now the battery drains very rapidly---needs to be recharged after a few hours---and gets very warm. Before this, iOS 4.0 was fine (although slightly increased battery drain over 3.1.3).
    I use Exchange with push and had no issues before iOS 4.0.1. This may be the culprit now because when I turn off "push," the battery drain appears to be normal (although not extensively tested yet). But, I also have MobileMe, Yahoo!, and Google email accounts set up.
    Is this a new problem? Anyone else have this problem? How can this be fixed? Anyone have any ideas?

    *Reposting this..had done the same thing earlier as well*
    This is my observation from past 6 nights;
    All 6 nights, charged my iPhone to max and then kept it in sleep/stand by. Not even a single call or mail checked...(11 pm to 6:30 am when my alarm rings)
    1st & 2nd Nights, I had flight center, angry birds, twitter, facebook, mail, phone, sms, settings app open in the multi-tasking bar.
    Battery drained from 100% to 83%
    3rd and 4th nights, i had only twitter, facebook, mail, phone, sms
    Battery drained from 100% to 92%
    5th and 6th nights, I had nothing open
    Battery drained from 100% to 93%
    my mail is always in push enable setting to exchange and me account,
    location always on, bluetooth always off. 3G off
    I thought, the applications on multi tasking bar is actually not draining the battery, but looks like they are...might be a flaw in multi tasking api or may be from developer.
    I hope to get an easy way to kill the apps and not let it go to multi tasking bar.

  • My Iphone 3GS with IOS 5.1 won't pair with my Mercedes ML350 bluetooth

    Why doesn't my IPhone 3GS with IOS5.1 pair with my Mercedes ML350 bluetooth?

    Sorry, I haven't a clue.  However, in "pairing" phones, I've found that it's not a perfect science and most of the time, if I keep making an attempt, my phone does pair. Today, I finally got around to pairing my new 4S with my Ford Flex.  Same story, the first 3 or 4 attempts crashed. Then for some unknown reason, doing the same procedure, the phone did pair with my Flex.

  • I purchased from China (I am in Australia) a IPhone 3GS with iOS 4.1. If I try to update iOS it goes all silly and won't work properly. What can I do to upgrade iOS

    Last year I brought from China (I am in Australia) an IPhone 3GS with operating system of 4.1 This IPhone came brand new in box etc. I want to update the operating system because a lot of the apps need newer software, however It will not work properly or update. Why?

    Your headline says iPhone 3GS, but your text says 3G.
    iPhone 3G is not compatible with iOS5. 3GS is.

  • IPhone 3GS with iOS 4 - Mail problems

    Hi all,
    Since I updated my iPhone 3GS with the lastest software, the iOS4, I've been experiencing problems with Mail: slow connection, the iPhone will freeze every now and then up to several minutes, the Mail app restarts several times, etc.
    Is anyone experiencing this issues or is just me?

    The issue I have had with te iOS4 is that my phone wont down load email..
    I have it set to check for email every 30 min as I do use my iPhone for work purposes and since switching to iOS4 it has stopped getting my mail. For me to get it to restart I have to power the phone down and back up. But then it will only down load what is available and then it stops again until I power down/up next..
    Other then that, battery life is greatly decreased! ugh, I thought it was bad before!!

  • HT4623 update my iphone 3GS with iOS

    Tried to update my iphone 3Gs with ios6.  Went to settings, tapped General but don't see Software or anything else that will help me download the new software.  Want to do this to set up iCloud for my iphone, ipad and macbook.

    open itunes - plug your phone to your computer - itunes should automatically read that your phone needs an update.
    You should do a backup of your phone before you update.

  • HT4972 i tried to update my iphone 3GS with IOS 6 and lost EVERYTHING! Help!

    I tried to update my iphone 3GS with IOS6 and the update was incomplete.  It then said retry so I did and it synced with my daughters ipod touch causing me to lose ALL of my information.  Is there any way to retrieve my previous information or reset my phone to what it was?  Unfortunately I dont thing I backed up my contacts, pictures, etc.

    If KiltedTim is correct I agree with him. If the phone is not hacked try temporarily disabling your antivirus and firewall that may be blocking access to gs.apple.com. See also this article from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3194

  • Uploaded Iphone 3GS to iOS 5 and lost internet connection (WiFi works)

    I uploaded my Iphone 3GS to iOS 5 and lost 3G internet connection (WiFi works). Anybody has that same problem??
    I lost all my music too. What I don't get is that when my iphone  is connected to Itunes, the music appears there (i even can play it), but the device doesn´t have it. I try to sync it but it doesn't work. What can I do?
    Help please!!!

    I went into Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data Network.and changed my APN in the 'Cellular Data' section from idata.o2.co.uk to wap.o2.co.uk. 
    wap.02.co.uk will not work for you, that is my provider's setting.  I would contact Telcel and see what your APN settings should be, but I get the impression having read through many conversations now that the upgrade to iOS5 sometimes changes these settings.
    I left the 'Visual Voicemail' and the 'MMS' settings the same and everything seems to be working ok...
    Oh - and I did lose my music after.  I've managed to restore my purchased by going to the iTunes store on my phone and dowloading them all again.
    Good luck, hope that sorts it.

  • HT1454 where did the "tv out" setting go on my iPhone 3gs with iOS 6.0?

    I used to be able to use my rca cable video and audio cable out to send video and things like you tube to my tv, but I tried again recently and it does not work.  The "TV out" on and off setting in settings is gone now and I can not find a way to get the Iphone 3gs to recognize the video cable or send video out.  I am using the newest iOS.  I think it is 6.0.1  Is the setting gone and no longer possible to send the video or is there a trick that I dont know.  Does anyone know of an app that will allow this?  I want to send the video and audio on the phone to the tv monitor in my truck for my kids to watch.  It used to work fine but now it doesnt.  The only thing different is the iOS is different on the phone.

       Same thing happened to me. Did you update to the newest version 4.3 YouTube app? It doesn't support TV out. Go to YouTube.com from your device and look at the bottom where you see a square with an arrow running through and it will open a window where you will see another YouTube app then click add to home screen and you should be back in business then trash that new version out!
