Iphone 4 shows keep showing 3G even though i turn off the 3G option

Hey everyone... need some help and direction here...
     it bothers me a lot, for several times my iphone 4 keep showing 3G even though i turn the 3G option off. This always happen especially when am home, first it looks normal, it shows edge but after several minutes it changes to 3G again and again. i noticed that this thing happened since i upgrade to iOS 5.
     is there anyone here that experiencing the same problem? because i've tried to restore it three times, but nothing changed... thank you for any comments and help..

Siri does not exist on the iPhone 4, only the iPhone 4S and later have Siri.
I used the Chat feature in the Contact Us section of the Apple website to try and get some support direct from Apple.
I discussed the lack of menu options, and provided screenshots. The response came back that it was, and I quote, "super strange" for this to be happening. Yet there are plenty of people reporting this problem on this forum.
The support person took me through a hard reboot (power button + home button until it restarts). That did not work, and I was then advised to back up the iPhone with iTunes, and then do a restore.
I did this, it downloaded about 1.2GB of data which I presume was a full, new image of iOS 7.1 (as opposed to the 'upgrade' that had been applied before), and proceeded to load it onto the device.
The issue still persists, attached are screenshots of my Settings > Passcode menu.

    works ok on mine - (5, 7.1.1).  Try again.  with previews set to none, mine shows the sender and the subject line only.  (you cannot get rid of the subject)    with the other settings, you get the sender, subject line and however many lines you selected.

    Trying to restore my iphone 5c, but it says i have to turn off the 'find my phone' option in icloud.  when i try, it brings up the wrong apple id.  I reset it under itunes & app store in settings but still not working...frustrated!

    Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, click Restore button of iTunes on computer.

    The music app keeps shuffling my songs despite me turning off the shuffle sign...whats going on?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Iphone 4 slide unlock is frozen, unable to turn off the phone

    IPHONE 4 SLIDE UNLOCK IS FROZEN, UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE PHONE.

  • My iphone time keeps messing up even though its on "set automatically" and i dont know how to fix it

    my iphone 5cs' time keeps messing up even though its set to "set automatically" the time doesnt change and i have no idea how to fix it. any help please?

    I'm having the EXACT same problem! I have a great wifi connection and it all started right after I updated it.
    I took it to the AT&T store and all they said that they could do for it was a "soft restart" which is where you hold down the lock button and the home button UNTIL you see the apple logo. And I did this like 4 times and it still messes up. When I turn it off and turn it on its fine for a few minutes but it slowly starts messing up again.
    And I'm also having several glitches. Like when I just received a text message when my phone was locked I slid it and put in my pass code then it like turned off and turned on my phone. And sometimes the messages that I send disappear from my side even though I sent them. If I turn it off then back on it's there. And also sometimes when I text a person and hit send it like backs me out of the messaging system(it still sends the message right then)  and back to the home screen.
    I called 1-800-myiphone and the lady did a "soft restart" which they call a "hard restart" and it worked for like 35 minutes and then it messed up again. And my iCloud isn't backing up my stuff so it's not like I can just completely reset my phone.

  • Firefox 29.0 still showing spinning wheel icon even though I stopped loading the page and the sign beside URL shows that loading has stopped. Is this a bug?

    I have recently updated Firefox to 29.0. I generally keep lot of tabs pinned and whenever I open firefox I stop the unwanted pages from loading. With Firefox even after I stop loading pages, some of them still show the spinning wheel on the tab title. The spinning wheel is shown even though the sign beside the URL shows that the page stopped loading. Though there is technically no problem with this, its annoying to see so many spinning wheels for no reason.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • Photo Steam appears in photo albums even though its turned off in settings.

    When I turned off photo stream in my iCloud settings on my iPhone 4, the empty Photo Stream album still appears in the Pictures app. When I try to turn it back on, an additional photo stream album appears and works correctly. I'm not really interested in using photo stream and wondered if anyone knew how to get rid of the empty album.

    Have you tried contacting 3 to see if your account is setup correctly or if you need a new SIM?
    You can try testing with another SIM or restoring the iPhone.

  • Address Book vCard export includes Notes, even when I turn off the option.

    When I do an export of an individual vCard, it exports the notes field, even though I have that box unchecked in preferences. I will uncheck the box again and after I do the export I notice the program has re-checked the box automatically. If I look at the exported vCard it will includes the notes field. How do I do an export and exclude the notes field?

    V.K. -
    Thanks for the help. I tried both methods with the same results. I then tried deleting both files at the same time and also the file com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist, then emptying the trash and re-launching the program. I unchecked the box to export the notes field and it worked for the first export only. After a second export the box was checked again and the vCard had the notes field.
    I was wondered if it was related to Mobile Me, but I looked on my Powerbook which also has OS X 10.5.8, Address Book 4.1.2, and is also synched and the exports are working fine there (no export of the notes field).
    Any other ideas? Everything is backed up with Time Machine, so I wouldn't mind nuking the whole thing.

  • Syncs contacts even though its turned off in iTunes, Syncs contacts even though its turned off in iTunes

    Hi,
    I have an odd problem.
    I have an iPhone 4 with (4.3.3) that I hook up to my work computer to recharge.
    I have disabled the info syncing (contacts, calendar etc).
    However, whenever I email a person in Outlook 2010 (that is not part of my contact list) it automatically adds that person / email address to my adress book on the iPhone.
    How on earth can I get rid of this annoying "feature" ? Really appreciate the help!!
