Mail starts & syncs automatically when accessing Contacts [iPhone 3GS/iOS4]
Hi all - I wonder if this query has been posted or answered before.
I've an iPhone 3GS which is running iOS4. I have noticed off late, when I access Contacts to look up for a number, Mail starts & syncs from my Gmail account automatically (I've set Gmail as my defaut email account). I do not want that to happen since it eats up my data plan & also the battery charge. Just to inform you that I've set the fetching of emails for Mail as Manual. I've tried looking for a solution within Settings but was unable to find one.
Can anyone tell me precisely where I am going wrong and what can be the solution to this nagging issue? thanks a ton in advance.

I have imported contacts from Outlook to Mail and they have synced via iCloud to my iPhone 3GS. I can't get my iPhone to make a call using these contacts (it tries but then says call ended) but if I dial the number of any of the contacts on the keypad, the call DOES work! Help me please - is there something I need to do to the contacts because tehy came from Outlook? Thanks
Thank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

How do I set my iPhone 3G to sync automatically when connected to my computer?
How do I set my iPhone 3G to sync automatically when connected to my computer? The button to "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is checked, and iTunes opens automatically, but it no longer syncs automatically as it did before the last update. Now I have to hit the "Sync" button each time; much less convenient as I have to frequently update my calendar.
On my iTunes at the top menu, in the Edit drop down menu, at the bottom is Preferences, click that, then pick icon Devices. Then in the middle there are check boxes, one has Prevent ipods,iPhones, ipads from syncing automatically. Try to leave this box empty. See if this helps.

am update my iphone 3gs ios4.1 to ios 6.0.1 using itunes when update comleted itunes show a message Were sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care! pls help me pls
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>
About=>Carrier? -

GPS not working in IOS6 when installed on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4?
Can somebody confirm that GPS location data (not from cell or wifi) is no longer functioning in IOS6 when installed on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4?
I have the same issue exept my phone doesn't ring for incoming calls. I've tried every fix, restored the phone and spent over an hour on the phone with Apple Care doing a second restore. The supervisor told me that he hadn't heard of the issue at all and came to the conclusion that I'd somehow broken the silent switch and that I'd have to pay $150 to have it repaired, despite my insistance that it was obviously a software issue since the problem started immediately after I updated to iOS 6. Total BS. I want this issue resolved immediately considering that the phone is virtually useless to me if I have to carry it around and continually check for notifications and incoming texts, phone calls, etc.

IPhone 3GS/iOS4 not recognized in iTunes After Replacing MacBook HD
Several days ago, after experiencing some problems w/ my MacBook, I took it to the Genius Bar at my local Apple store. After some diagnostic tests, it was determined that my hard drive was in the process of dying. A new, replacement hard drive was installed by the very helpful Genius. When I got home, I used Time Machine to restore the contents of my hard drive.
I am running OS10.6.4 on my MacBook, with the latest version (9.2?) of iTunes.
After restoring the contents of my hard drive, Time Machine would not back up my MacBook until i formatted the backup drive, and started backups with Time Machine all over again (so now, only one backup since the hard drive restore).
Now, when connecting my iPhone 3GS running iOS4.0.2, the connection confirmation noise sounds, my iPhone very briefly shows up in the devices list in iTunes, and then disappears. I tried disconnecting and then reconnecting my iPhone a few times to see if I could get iTunes to recognize my iPhone. No luck.
At some point after several unsuccessful attempts to get my iPhone to be recognized, I was presented with the message that iTunes could not recognize the iPhone, and I should click the restore button in iTunes. I did this. iTunes wanted to download some software, for the restoration. It looked like this was successful, but then my iPhone vanished from the devices list again. After disconnecting and reconnecting it, and then clicking restore in iTunes, a message that iTunes could not contact the Apple software downloads server. This was erroneous, since I did have a functioning internet connection at the time (I had several tabs open and running in Safari at the time).
Can anyone please help?!Try these suggestions: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for MAC OS X, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591

Mail keeps opening in the background when accessing contact details
I'm using iPhone 3G
I have an App called FreeMemory (from the AppStore) than can view all running apps in the background.
What I'll do is check FreeMemory and I can see that Mail is NOT running.
Then I go ahead and open Contacts and tap on a particular contact name (I noticed that it takes a while to open the details of a particular contact).
After that I close Contacts and go back to FreeMemory. Now I see Mail running in the background.
(but when I only open Contacts and scroll through the list and I dont tap a contact name, it WONT open the Mail app).
I can conclude that accessing a contact detail also opens Mail app which eats RAM since im using only iPhone 3G which has small RAM.
*PLEASE note that all my mail accounts are already INACTIVE/DISABLED and my Fetch options are OFF and set to Manual. Also, I DONT have any email adress info of my contacts stored in their names.
Any idea how I can prevent Mail from opening when I access contact details??
thanks!Try with "Minimize to Tray" Add-ons
