That error shows up when a phone is jailbroken or you are trying to downgrade the iOS version. Neither of which is supported by apple.

IPhone 3GS GPS no longer working-What should I do?

I have a very annoying problem with my iPhone 3GS.
I have invested a considerable amount of money on Navigation applications and applications that use GPS.
GPS reception started to get unreliable and it was deteriorating over time.
At the beginning my navigation application (Navigon) was losing the GPS signal at random times.
Usually, after every iOS update the GPS reception was fine for a week or so, then problems started again.
Now, GPS is almost not working at all.
All the gps applications on my iPhone can detect where I am, however the precision is in unusable levels. It may show a position 300-400 meters away from where I really am. This happens in Navigon, Maps, etc.
Navigon always shows the red bar on the top telling me that the GPS reception is not adequate.
What should I do? Is there any case that this is a software related issue? Is there any way I can fix this? Some users suggested that I set up as New, but this will be my last resort as I have a lot of data that I want to retain on my iPhone.
Or is this really a hardware issue?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thank you

If you've restored the phone and then reinstalled the SW, it may be a HW problem. There's a way to test to see if the GPS is working in 'standalone mode". It's valid for the 3G, I think it works for the 3GS as well.
On the 3G, the GPS receiver is tied to the cellular transceivers. If it's in Airplane mode the GPS doesn't work. Taking the phone out of Airplane mode, but removing the SIM card (and therefore no cellular connection) it works just fine (OK, it's a bit slower, but it still works).
As a final test, take the phone out of Airplane mode, remove the SIM card and run any GPS aware programme (Maps is good, it's an Apple App, so that removes the 'I wonder if the app is at fault' question). Place the phone in a location where it has a good view of an unobstructed sky, and wait. After 10 or 15 minutes press the "find me" button on the bottom left of the screen. If the "blinking" little blue dot doesn't appear, or if it says that your location can't be determined (there won't be a map), it sounds like the GPS is dead.
BTW, Apple doesn't reply to posts on the forum.
Good luck,

My Contracted SIM is for an android phone, but when i put the sim in an iphone my 3g no longer works?..

My Contracted SIM is for an android phone, but when i put the sim in an iphone my 3g no longer works?.. Is it because my 3g is only active on the android os and not the ios platform? Texts, Calls and Wifi work fine but the 3g doesn't work. My phone only shows 'GPRS' in the top left corner. Also I get a message come up saying "Could not activate mobile data network. You are not subscribed to a mobile data service".
Any advice would be great.

Hi hexonxonx, I'm on o2. Thanks for your advice. You are right. All I had to do was change one of my APN settings to mobile.o2.co.uk and reboot my phone and this sorted it out straight away! Thanks again. Much appreciated . I was thinking I was going to have to go back to an android phone to use my 3g again but this eliminated that need. Thanks.

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

HT1296 Events entered in my iPhone 3GS will no longer sync to my Outlook 2010 calendar - what's up?

Some change in iOS I suppose makes it so events entered in my iPhone 3GS will no longer populate my Outlook 2010 calendar when I sync the devices through iTunes. It used to be that events entered in each place would populate the other locationg when synced. No longer!
There are two calendars in iPhone now and I don't know why.
Can anyone help me find out what's going on?

Ok! So I just came across this randomly in another thread from user Kempas (thanks a lot!). It totally fixed the problem so I thought I'd repost it!

Ok, I'm assuming everyone who is having trouble with Windows 7 (64-bit? mine is) has tried the following solution I found over at en.kioskea.net posted by a guy called Steve78545 (hey, you got to give a dude his due).
It's maybe because Windows 7 uses a MTP driver instead of the USBAAPL by default, and what you need is an 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' which you might not have in 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' (check it and see). If you haven't got it, as good ol' Steve78545 suggested:
Update the driver by expanding 'Portable Devices' from the list, right click Apple iPhone/iPhone and select 'Update Driver Software'. Then select 'Browse My computer...'
Copy the following path and paste it in - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - then hit 'Next'.
Let the thing do it's...thing an it should work. At least it did for me, so I hope it helps a few people out!

Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

After up date my I phone 5 will no longer work when calling an automated phone . Press 1 for this or 2 for that. It tells me wrong selection.

Why will my phone no longer work when calling an system with automated dialing, press 1 for this or 2 for that. Tells me not a valid number.

So basically if a iphone has a fault after the 1 year warranty period is over, there is nothing the consumer can do but purchase a new phone??
Pretty much. Except that Apple will replace it for a fixed fee that is far less than the cost of a new phone. In the US the replacement cost for an iPhone 4 is $149. It is comparable in the UK. Unless you can prove that the fault was present at the time of purchase. A switch wearing out would probably be considered normal wear and tear, not a "fault".

My iPhone 4s is no longer working.

My iPhone 4s is no longer working. It kept turning off and on on it's own and i tried to restore it. I pressed the lock and home button. I connected it to itunes as it says. Once in itunes it says the iPhone is on recovery mode and then when it is suppose to restore it says :Verifling with apple and connecting to iphone. Then another screen pops but that an unknown error has happened and doesn't recovery it. What can I do?

It has no serial number or nothing.

TS4242 since updating and restoring my iphone 3gs it no longer can find my sim itunes cant activate it because no sim inserted can anyone help

since updating and restoring my iphone 3gs it no longer can find my sim itunes cant activate it because no sim inserted can anyone help

That usually means the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock the phone and when you update the phone it locked back up again.
Only way to resolve this issue, is to find out who the orignal carrier was and have them unlock it. If you bought this from a 3rd party contact the seller and have him/her unlock it for you by contacting the phone carrier.

My forward delete no longer works when searching or editing on Itunes since installing an update

My forward delete no longer works when searching or editing on Itunes since installing an update. Anyone else have that problem? Any fixes?

Have you tried:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

My Iphone 3GS can no longer get ESPN Podcasts. It only allows me to type a review. What is happening and how can I fix it?

My Iphone 3GS can no longer get ESPN And CBS Sports Podcasts. They only let me place reviews of the podcasts. This happened a week ago. Does anyone know what happened and if there is anything I can do to fix it?

Could be any number of things. What user trobleshooting have you tried? Restart (power off/on) reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. See if it works after the phone restarts. Next is a restore from a backup (make sure you made a current one), then restore as a new device, which deletes all data from your device. If it doesn't work after all that, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the local Apple store, it is probably a hardware issue.
I have seen something similar which is generally diagnosed as a hardware issue.

Iphone 3Gs turns its self off when i go on to the internet

Hello,
Can anyone please help me my Iphone 3Gs turns its self off when i go on to the internet, especially when i go on to google. When i am on the internet browsing my phone screen just goes blank then i need to turn my phone back on.
This happens all the time and it gets so bad that the internet doesn't turn on and turns its self straight off.
Thanks

You need to go through the basic troubleshooting steps as described in the User Guide:
Restart phone
Reset phone (press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup.
Restore in iTunes as a new iPhone, without using a backup.
BTW, are you really still using long obsolete iOS 3.0 as your profile states?
Is your phone jb or hacked? In that case, SOL.

The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working.

The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working. I've already done a soft reset, hard reset, and restored it to a new device. What else can I do?

When you are using other applications, or just on the home screen, does that area of the screen respond to touch?
Steps to resolve issue (I understand you have done what you have but it's always good to try again):
Clean the iPhone screen with the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the iPhone.
Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
The current application may not be responding (frozen), press and hold the Home button below the screen for a least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
If that doesn't work, turn the iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the iPhone for few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement, if necessary, even if your iPhone is out of warranty. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the iPhone Service FAQ.
Tip: If you are going to take your iPhone into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your touch screen is experiencing unresponsiveness.
Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the iPhone to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows. (An original iPhone must have iPhone 2.0 software installed to access the scientific calculator feature.)
To test the touchscreen function at the top of the screen of an original iPhone without the iPhone 2.0 software, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. If the slider does slide, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears to turn iPhone on again.
