IPhone 3gs wont connect to internet but should

Hello,
My friend has an iPhone 3gs all up to date not jailbroken etc, shows a wifi connection, shows 3g connections, all settings appear fine.
However, will not connect to internet through any apps, safari, app store, facebook, you name it if it uses the internet it doesnt work!
As I say it shows its connected to wifi , shows full signal, shows 3g connection on Orange, once again shows good signal. But just doesnt work!
Have tried reseting, rebooting, restoring etc etc
Any ideas anyone?

Same issue here. Double-checked my Wi-Fi, and it works on my Ipod, my laptop, and my wife's IPhone (not updated to 4.0.2)
My phone recognizes my Wi-Fi, says it's connected, then goes right back to 3G service.
Help???

    Hey Foleyboy,

  • My iphone 3gs wont connect to the internet unless on wifi, can you help?

    i bought an iphone 3gs yesterday and on the whole everything is going well so far, however i can only use the internet on my phone if im connected to wifi, which limits me to only being able to use it at home or free wifi in resturants etc and i would like to be able to use it anywhere, surely i can? any suggestions?

    Settings>General>Resets>Reset Network Settings.
    If that doesn't fix it, contact your carrier and find out if there is a problem in your area.
    If not, then try a hard re-set (hold power and home together until you see the Apple logo).
    If that doesn't work, restore.
    If that doesn't work, restore as new.
    If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • IPhone 3gs cant connect to internet after OS4

    Ever since i updated to OS4, i cant connect to the internet except at wi-fi hotspots. i reset all settings, restored the iphone, tried airplane mode on and off and nothing has worked. any suggestions?

    I had the same problem that AT&T couldn't solve after my iOS4 Upgrade on my 3gs.
    An Apple Tech double checked that airplane mode was off and then went to settings, restore network settings thru the phone's menu. It reset and suddenly all my 3g cellular connection was restored and everything worked again. But V E R Y S L O W L Y!
    I am still getting 4-5 bars of connectivity, my all my speed tests show my 3g data connect at about 60-120 kbps or even slower. I don't know of it's an iOS4 bug or AT&T just overwhelmed by al the new Iphones added to it's network. I'm paying for "Unlimited Data" that now comes in so slowly, some of my apps "freeze" and time out when they can't connect.
    And I have no official way of downgrading to 3.1.3 without hacking my phone...which can't be discussed here and may not even really work!

  • Iphone 5 wont connect to internet while using data or Wifi after iOS 7.0.6 update

    I just updated my iPhone 5 today to iOS 7.0.6. No matter what conection I use, data or wifi connection, I can not connect to the internet or use any function involving the internet.

    UPDATE - I got my devices working on my wifi. Here's what I did:
    1. On your iOS device - go to "network settings" and select the associated network and select "forget this network".
    2. Reboot your iOS device.
    3. Change the wifi (WPA2) password on your wifi AP.
    4. Re-join the wifi network on your iOS device. Put in the new password.
    --> If your system is like mine, the device will now connect to your wifi network. I suspect the SSL fix somehow munged the password encryption for the existing password, but changing it on both ends somehow fixes it.
    good luck!!

Still, it wont turn on.  It's been like this for three days now and I haven't stopped charging it.  IT just WONT charge?  Any tips I can use to solve the issue?

    Hello estebie67,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working

    My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working.Signal is good & plenty of credit

    First step is to clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush, also use a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol, and clean especially the pins which are on top of the dock midrib.
    Let it dry for a minute. Then open iTunes on computer, then connect iPhone to computer, then hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is recognized by iTunes in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

    Hi jaredfox06,
    If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay.  To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
    Try these steps first
    Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
    If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
         If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
    When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
    If you don't, try these steps:
    Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

    Have a good one,
