My 3gs (11 months old) has been losing all signal

my 3gs (11 months old) has been losing all signal for calls and both 3g/wifi, goes to "searching" then "no signal", and back to some signal but not for long at all. i upgraded to ios5 couple of wks ago but this was all happening before that, was hoping the upgrade would help, but noooooooooo! battery power has gone so bad in last few days too, charging up to 3 times a day!! cant afford a new phone so any help would be really appreciated.

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

    Well, it appears that your backup is corrupt, thus causing your issue. So, you'll have to restore as a new device, & not from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone:

  • My iPhone 4S which is 1 year and 10 months old has now developed yellow spot on left side of screen. What should I do as my iPhone is out of warranty now???

    My iPhone 4S which is 1 year and 10 months old has developed yellow spot on left side of screen. Otherwise iPhone works perfectly but that yellow spot continuously annoys me. What should I do as my iPhone is out of warranty now??? The yellow spot becomes prominent on playing games... Will it spread further and get even worse or it is harmless??? Can apple india help me to figure out the issue?? Help!!

    You can live with it.
    Buy another iphone.
    Buy a different phone.
    Do without a phone.
    Try to find a 3rd party repair center at your risk

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • My MacBook Air which is only 3 months old, keeps on losing internet connection.  To reconnect I have to click on the internet icon on the top bar and click turn wi-fi off.  I then have to click turn wi-fi on and it reconnects after a few seconds.

    My MacBook Air which is only just over 3 months old, keeps on losing internet connection.. To resolve it I have to click on the internet icon at the top of the page and then click turn wi-fi off.  I then click turn wi-fi on and it reconnects.  This resolves it for a while, and then it disconnects and I have to go through the same procedure again.  My BT Home hub is fine because my wife's i pad and our phones are all ok.  What can the problem be?

  • HT1766 How long should it take for a icloud back up of about 6.4GB?  It has been running all night and not complete.

    How long should it take for an icloud backup of about 6.4GB?  I selected a manual backup and it has been running all night?  Thanks         

    That's going to depend alot on your internet connection speed. 6.4 GB is alot of data, especially if your connection speed is slow (DSL) or low-end cable speeds of ~1.5 Mbps.

  • TS1846 I have edited a movie in Final Cut Pro and the video has been smoot all the time. Now, when the one hour long movie is ready the video seem to paus every 5 sec (only for half a second). It does it all the way through the movies. What is wrong? Sudd

    I have edited a movie in Final Cut Pro and the video has been smooth all the time.
    Now, when the one hour long movie is ready the video seem to paus every 5 sec (only for half a second). It does it all the way through the movies.
    What is wrong? All the sudden.

    We need info, info, info!
    What version of FCP X?
    Did you render? what are the project specs? do you use many compound clips? how much ram, hard drive space, how is the hard drive connected?
    It looks like your mac can't keep up. Maybe the bottleneck is the hard drive, or something else.
    Try exporting a master file and see if the video is ok.
    Also, keep Activity Monitor open and see how much memory pressure you've got.

  • SQLException: After clearParameters() has been called, all parameters must be reset before executing

    Hi,
    I am running: Weblogic 6.1, SP2
    Driver : weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver
    Reason for not using the "thin" driver, which works, is limit
    on size of Clob

    "clearParameters()" is never called explicitly in my code.

  • My iPhone 4 has been overheated all this week

    My iPhone has been overheated all this week, and making rare sounds..what should I do?.

    I would take it into an Apple Store and see what they have to say about it. It could be that your unit is somehow defective (likely a bad battery). If it's covered under warranty, they will replace the iPhone so be sure and do a complete backup before taking it in.

  • HT4847 I changed my iPhone from an IPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. How do I delete my iCloud account on my old phone without losing all the data on my new iPhone 5?

    I changed my iPhone from an IPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. How do I delete my iCloud account on my old phone without losing all the data on my new iPhone 5?

    If you have any photo stream photos on your old phone that you want to keep you might want to save them to the camera roll, then import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) before deleting the account.  The reason for this is that photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days.  When you enable photo stream on your new phone you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.

    Dude or hot-spur,
    Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
    Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
    Thank you again

    Preparing your iPhone for restore its supposed to be about 1-2 minutes! Do you see any errors the time you plug in the wire from your iPhone to iTunes?
