My iphone 3gs has lots of 'other' space taken up and is running low on battery very quickly since I installed IOS 5
Are there any fixes or solutions to these IOS 5 issues?
I'm not sure to whom you think you're addressing.....
We're users on this forum, just like you. We're not Apple support.
As far as your problem is concerned, have you done the steps recommended in the user guide: restart? reset? restore?
If you've done that and you still have the problem, bring the phone into Apple for evaluation. If there's a problem with the phone, it will be replaced.

My iphone 4s gets hot and runs out of battery very quickly
you should avoid keeping it in extreme temperatures, use it as little as possible, and avoid overcharging which means that you should unplug your iphone as soon as it hits 100% battery

I have a IPhone 4S running IOS 7.1.2. I want to upgrade to IOS 8.1.1. I have 2 GB of free space. I have 9GB of "other" space used. How do I determine what "other" is and how do I delete some of it to make room to upgrade?
What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?

Recently my iPhone 3GS has stopped ringing all of a sudden. I've checked the settings and nothing has been changed. I've also made sure the switch on the side is not on silent/vibrate too.
The other day it rang once then went to vibrate.
Anyone have any idea?
The phone is just over a year old too

There are two places where vibrations can be set.
One is the Settings > Sounds
The other area is Settings > Notifications
If you have an app set to Alert, it may have a vibration set for it.

Hi team, my iPhone 3gs has no service. How I can resolve this problem
Did you try removing the SIM and inserting it again?
Have you spoken to your carrier about getting a new SIM?
Have you tried the basics from the manual? Restart, reset, restore -
My iPhone 3gs has frozen while doing update 5.0.1 I think it was. All it shows is the iTunes logo and the usb cable on the screen. I will not turn on or off. I have tried reconnecting to iTunes but nothing happens. Have held both buttons for 10 seconds etc and nothing is working! What can I do?
Here are Apple Steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My iPhone 3Gs has frozen and I can't do anything except turn it off by hard boot. When I plug it in, I have the apple icon and that is all. It was at 43 percent battery life when it happened and my Twitter app was giving me problems. Thoughts?
Put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

thank you for your help!Follow this very helpful user tip by wjosten:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive -
My daughter's iPhone 3gs has just been replaced by Apple. When she tried to restore her backup files she was told to upgrade to itunes 10, but she can't because her Macbook is too old to run it. What do we need to do to get all her stuff onto the new phone?
Here's what I'd do, go back to the Apple store, take the phone & computer. Ask the geniuses how to fix this since they replaced the phone. You never know, they may just update the computer for free...its happened before...can't gurantee it will happen for you, but worth a try.
Otherwise, you're looking at purchasing a retail copy of Leopard, however if her computer can handle Snow Leopard you can purchase the $29 upgrade disk & install a full copy of SL. -
okay, so lately my iPhone 3GS has been telling me i have no service what so ever for the past two days. But today when i was on the bus going home from school, i had perfect service and everything until i got close to my house (to clarify, i live somewhat far out from the center of town, and my school is right in the middle of town.. didnt know if that would affect anything). So then i asked my Dad about it and he reccomended restoring and updating my phone to see if it helped because im a couple updates behind. So i plugged it in, backed it up, and began to restore and update it. All was well until it got to the "verifying the restore with apple" stage. I was watching the rose bowl and not paying attention while it was on, but remembered that it started that stage at the beginning of the game. Now the game just ended 5 or 10 minutes ago and lasted a goood hour, hour an a half, and its still verifying!! i dont know what to do... HELP!
Did you check the security software settings? iTunes has to be able to contact Apple during the update process: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

My iphone 3GS has wiped out all my contacts and I need help to recover them. I tried a restore back up and a backup from itunes but I don't use itunes at all so I don't think it worked. I tried also wonderfone and some type of DFU mode and couldn't find the contacts. What can I do please help.
Go to settings do a reset when reset is done you will need to enter your Wireless key for your router. Then go to software updates and download new update 8.0.2 That help me. Bsydd uk

IPhone 3Gs has a color temperature display is warmer, or yellow-tinted
All greetings!
My new iPhone 3Gs has a color temperature display is much warmer, or yellow-tinted compared to the my iPhone 3G.
It is a defect of my iPhone 3Gs?
Here you can see it: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2415/2660565874_ef8a841a20.jpgI recently bought a 3Gs and compared to my old 3G there's a hug difference! my 3Gs looks really yellow! I went to Apple store at the florida mall to verify if this was normal, brought my old 3G with me so they could notice the difference,so I made the appointment and when the so called "apple genius" saw my phone he noticed the difference and took my phone to change it to the back of the store, he came back in 3 minutes claiming that he changed my phone,when I looked at it,same yellow display I said to the guy that the display looks the same but he never gave me any other option, on my way out from the store i checked the info on the phone but it was the same IMEI as the one in the box, how could this be? if they supposedly change the phone, I asked to speak to a manager and explained to her my situation, the "genius" that "helped me" told the manager that what he did was only changing the display and since I didn't like it,he went back and put back again the display that came with the phone... at this point I got really upset and I asked the manager to speak to the "genius" and asked why he lied about the situation, the manager said that she would bring the guy so we could settle this situation,they left me waiting on the store 45 minutes and none of them showed up... Great Apple store service... Yeah right!! F#$%^ them!

had a text telling me my old iPhone 3GS has now been unlocked. Inserted Orange SIM (from daughter's working phone) and iTunes says no SIM installed. Help please
Kilted Tim is correct, did you plug it in to iTunes to complete the process? I assumed you would have done so, but I shouldn't have assumed.
