IPhone messed up, after upgrade to os 4

Hello,
i just upgraded my iPhone 3gs to OS 4.
I got (and still have) the problem with connecting to the 3g/edge network.
So now i have tried several things, and i have several backups now.
But in the "main" backup, I have contacts, programs, music etc...
On another computer, i have some books from iBooks.
Can i somehow start all over.
Reset iPhone to default settings.
Then take contacts from one backup.
Take the programs i want to have.
The music, the iBooks etc...

Welcome to the discussions,
Apple is not listening, this is a user to user forum. Some people solved the problem by restoring "as new iPhone" without using the backup made prior to the upgrade when running 3.x firmware.
Since I "handed down" my 3G, I did the same and experienced no big difference in the performance after that.

I believe that all iPhones, purchased in Egypt, from official sources, are sold as carrier locked. So, your phone was hacked by someone so you could use it in Germany. Sorry, but that's what happens to hacked iPhones.
No one here can help you, nor can/will Apple, and since none of the carriers in Egypt offer official unlocking, your choices are not good.

Sorry... But... The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.
There is No Workaroud for Activation Lock.

ITunes won't recognize my password to restore my iPhone backup file after upgrading to ios5

iTunes won't recognize my password to restore my iPhone backup file after upgrading to ios5.
Tried every password I've ever used and tried resetting my password. Nothing works!
Any advice?

Nope. You obviously didn't read (or didn't remember) the User Guide. I will include a link for you. If you use the iPhone as Apple recommends (so that you do NOT experience data loss), frequent backups are advised, as are synching contacts/calendars with an appropriate cloud service or computer-based contact manager like Outlook.

Ipad 2 and Iphone 4 hybernates after upgrade to IOS 6

Hi , After upgrading my iphone 4 and Ipad 2 to IOS 6 , both devices go in "hibernate" mode after being idle for a while. The only way to open them is by hard rebooting. Have you expirienced similar problems ? Is there any solution to fix it ? BR Robert

Andrew is partially right. With apps that are still running, they are running regardless of being suspended or not. A restore should be her last option. as she will lose anything added since her last back up. And there should be NO reduction in speed as the update was made compatible with all phones included in the update.
I recommend the following.
1st, delete all apps on the phone that are not being used. They take memory and speed since almost all apps run in the background checking for notifications.
2nd, go disable all notifications you don't need. This will help with speed AND battery life.
3rd, location services.... Go adjust this... if you don't NEED it on, turn it off. It will reduce usage on the phone, and again save ALOT of battery life.
4th, organize apps into folders. this will ruduce "pages" on the phone, and increase speed.
5th, clear browsing history.
6th, delete emails, texts, contacts that are not needed. ESPECIALLY Spam folders!! some of us never clear spam, and there could be a large amount.
7th, Do a hard restart. While the phone is powered on, hold the home button and power button down at the same time. Keep holding while the phone suts down and keep them held down until the Apple logo reappears.
If this does not help, then she needs to take a record of all contacts shes added since her last back-up, email all photos taken since her last back up, so she can save them back to the phone,(DO NOT rely on photostream, because once the restore is done, those photos will be taken from the stream.) She will need to do the restore off her computer and the update through iTunes.

I'm using iphone 4s and after upgrading to ios 6, my facebook app seems to have lsot the 'share' button altogether, which means i cant share anything on my news feed. I cant change my profile or cover pic on fb which i could before the upgrade. Help Pls

I'm using an iphone 4S with IOS 6. Before the upgrade I was able to share thigns from my news feed on facebook and change pictures (profile, cover) from my phone. After upgrading I cannot share or change pictures or articles. I've tried resetting my phone, deleting and re-installing fb app, but no success. Would appreciate any help, suggestions...Cheers

I've never been able to share FaceBook posts nor seen the option using the iOS FaceBook app regardless the FaceBook app and iOS version. I can Like and I can Comment, and if I select a link or video to view under iOS 6, I can use the Share option for the link or video, but not for a post.

IPhone 4s issues after upgrading to IOS 8

Have few issues after upgrading to iOS 8
- Phone hangs every few hours, reboots automatically
- Bluetooth does not work properly (call does not get disconnected or even if disconnected on phone, the car bluetooth shows call is on)
- Searching for contacts is a problem
- Apps hang (especially facebook)
Any way to go back to iOS 7 ?
Any other tips / tricks appreciated..
Venkat

No way to come back to iOS 7 ...
But did you tried to reset all settings (general -> reset -> all settings) ?
For me iOS 8 was a mess on a 5S, especially car Bluetooth, and all works now fine after resetting the settings (all settings, not only network settings).

I have an iPhone 4s. After upgrading to iOS 6 (and 6.0.1) my sound occasionally just stops working and I have to power off/on to get it back working again. Anyone else having this issue?

My sounds occasionally stops working after upgrading to iOS 6. Is anyone else having sound issues with iOS 6 or greater?

I am having this same issue on my iPhone 4. The most recent update to iOS 6.1 didn't fix it either. Has anyone found a fix for this problem? It doesn't happen often, maybe every third day or so but requires power off, power on to bring the sound back.

IPhone 3G locked after upgrading the software..Plz help

I have upgraded the iPhone 3G through iTunes. But it restored my phone after upgrading. Now its asking for activating the phone. A USB connector and iTunes icon is displaying on iphone screen. I am using an airtel SIM. The iTunes is displaying a message that SIM card inserted is NOT supported, use a compatible SIM card.
Before that everything was working fine. This carp happened after upgradation.
does anybody have a solution to this??
plz help

Sounds like you had a jailbroken/unlocked iPhone. Airtel is one of the authorized carriers in India, so if you bought the phone from them, contact their tech support. If you got the iPhone from somewhere else, contact the seller for help - upgrading/restoring removes the jailbreak, so you've got a paperweight now.

Unlocked iPhone became locked after upgrade to iOS6 - what should I do?

I bought an unlocked iPhone at the Montreal Apple store two years ago whie I was on student exchange there.
Since about a year ago I've been using it in Israel with Israeli carrier. Didn't need to jailbreak it or anything, since it was bought unlocked.
However, after upgrade to iOS6 this morning, it became locked and I can't use it again.
Any ideas what to do? Did this happen to anyone else?

You need to contact the Apple retail store in Montreal where the iPhone was purchased.
If you still have the receipt, the receipt should indicate unlocked.

Iphone 3G Slow After Upgrade to OS 4

After upgrading to OS 4, my IPhone is slow as molasses. I'm so frustrated. I can't believe Apple done nothing about this yet. It takes 10-12 seconds just to get into text mode from any other application. When I often type, it takes several seconds for the phone to catch up. Looks like others had had the same experience. I hope Apple is listening. I'm an Apple devotee but this experience is frustrating me.... Anyone found a solution??

Welcome to the discussions,
Apple is not listening, this is a user to user forum. Some people solved the problem by restoring "as new iPhone" without using the backup made prior to the upgrade when running 3.x firmware.
Since I "handed down" my 3G, I did the same and experienced no big difference in the performance after that.

XFCE4 Desktop messed up after upgrade

Hi
After upgrading to the latest XFCE Desktop - using pacman -Syu last friday - my XFCE Desktop ist totally messed up after restarting:
. mouse cursor is displayed as cross instead of xfce pointer
. windows do not have decoration and title bar
. there are no more multiple desktops
. keyboard shortcuts are no more working
. menubar on several apps like thunderbird or firefox is not working
. new windows are always placed on top left of the screen
. more to find...!!
In shorter words: the desktop is unusable. I deleted .config/xfce4, but this did not help anything. What can I do to quickly restore my desktop to a working state?
Thanks, melman

Thanks for your reply. That solved the problem. I just started xfwm4 in a terminal and now everything works fine. Even after restarting XFCE4.

HT201210 Is there a fix for Proximity sensor being messed up after upgrading to latest iOS 6.1.3?

After upgrading to 6.1.3 the Proximity Sensor will not turn my phone's screen black so that other "buttons" are not pressed by my ear of by my face accidentally.
It worked just fine before the update.
And if there isn't a fix is it possible for me to downgrade to iOS 6.0, or 6.0.1 or .6.1?
I have a 16GB 3GS, iOS version 6.1.3 (10B329), ATT, Model = MC135LL/A, Modem Firmware = 05.16.08
Thank you in advance,

I have taken it out of the case - I figured it would obstruct the sensor (also have no screen protector).
Only thing I haven't tried from the Basic troubleshooting steps you mentioned was to "restore as new".
That I did try it tonight (succesffully restored), BUT my problem still exists.
You mentioned to go in the MAC store > Would they replace it (for free) if they reach the conclusion it's some sort of manufacturer faulty wiring even if it's a 3Gs (as an old model)?
Would they still if phone had water damage (this I'm just curious - the phone didn't)?
