This HAS to be a software problem because the fine folks at the local apple store (Vancouver) replaced the phone even though it was 35 days out of warranty (they're awesome -- didn't expect that).
No, it doesn't have to be a software issue. If it were, I would expect the millions of other iPhone users, specifically 3GS users running iOS 4 to be experiencing the same problem. They simply are not experiencing the same issue.

That would tend to indicate a hardware or network issue, most likely hardware. Have you ruled out the SIM card by replacing it?

As I say, this behavior is identical across both my old phone and its replacement. In fact, for both issues (batttery & call-failed), it's as though the replacement was never made.
Did you restore from your backup? or set up as a new device?

BTW, when I got the new phone, it was loaded with a slightly older version of iOS. At the Apple Store expert's suggestion, I upgrade to iOS 4.3.1 BEFORE i loaded my backup.
Did you try using the device for a day or say as "new" before restoring your backup? It's very likely that the issue is simply a corrupted setting in your backup.

I wanted to know if iphone 3gs gets slow after updating to ios5?

I wanted to know if iphone 3gs gets slow after updating to ios5?..and what features are missing for 3gs

I have iphone3gs just upgraded to iOS5 just now.
So far i am not experiencing any slow down because of the new iOS.. Rather i feel like its slightly faster than the previous version (4.3.5)..
One of the first thing i want to try was the location based reminders.. After upgrade i coudn't find the option, and went trough the user manual to find out that it is not available for 3gs..:(

Iphone 5 VERY SLOW after updating to IOS 6.1.3. What is wrong? Restoring it does nothing.

My Iphone 5 is miserably slow after updating to IOS 6.1.3. I've tried restoring it and nothing works. What happened? It's even restarting over and over on its own

I guess it of no use...It is with subscription....batteries issues will not be entertain....Lots of reasons. Company will not entertain batteries issues unless is really serious.
Anyway, I will continue to use it with bare Apps...I will not buy any apps, no movies, musics...cause it would last me a day. I will definitely not buy any Apps.
the last verison 6.02 was definitely better at battery management...this version is really bad. Do not know why some users said 6.10 improved the battery....but mind did not.
Forget about buying Apple products again...this is mind first time using a smartphone (as a gift too)...and how disappointed I am. Truely, if company wants users to use their products, they should give decent batteries...the IP5 has the same battery as the 4S and 4S last at least 2 days.
With all the hype and marketing that Apple is making...a decent battery should be provided.... I am not asking for anything more....what is the point of having the most advance IOS or hardware..when batteries cannot give users a decent life (2 - 3 days are good enough) not 1 or less day....By the Way, IP5 isn't cheap. It is were, I would not waste my time posting here....
This is really hopeless and pointless
Disappointed, really disappointed and displease. anyway to get back version 6.02..cos 6.10 really hopeless for me.

Restore the phone as new, and you will have to redownload your apps back to the phone and put your other content back in. As of right now you have nothing so, you have nothing to lose.

My iphone 3gs wont activate after updating to ios 5

ive updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 but now itunes wont activate my phone and comes up with a messege saying my phone has no sim inserted when it has one (original orange UK sim), what can i do to sort this out

I had the same problem with mine and found out because i bought it second hand and had it unlocked updating it causes it to go back to being locked again. If you've bought it in the same situation then maybe that's the problem, i got it unlocked really cheap too and now its back to normal and all my messges, apps and pics are back.
hope this helps

Iphone 3GS wont activate after update

I tried to update my phone and it came up with an error message, I have since restored to factory settings but now it won't activate.
It just comes up with
We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
Please try again later, or contact customer care.
I've tried this several times through wi-fi and i-tunes connections.
It is an iphone 3gs on the orange network, there is a working sim in the phone.
Let me know if there is a solution.
Thanks

"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

Is also your IPhone 3gs very slow after iOS5??

Hi there, since I upgraded my 3gs to iOS5 it became generally extremely slow and it crashes often or take ages to respond to commands...any solution other than restart it as new?

try this First, You will not lose any data.
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10-15 Seconds.
Release the buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
You may have to restore as new...

IPhone 3GS Internet slowed since update

I just updated my iPhone this morning to the 3.1.3 and after I restarted my phone when I clicked on an app it said not connected to the Internet or needs to connect to stronger 3G network. I have great signal on 3G and my internet works fine through safari but I don't know what happened to my Internet with my apps.

HI Amelia and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Tap Settings/Wi-Fi and make sure you are on the correct network.
If that isn't the issue, connect your iPhone to your computer. In the iTunes window under Applications disable the app that generated that message. It may have not been updated by the developer to be compatible with 3.1.3.
On your iPhone, with the app disabled, see if you can connect to your network. You can always re-sync that particular app.

IPhone 3GS - Error 13 after update

I went into iTunes to update my phone and after the waiting for the update it says it has to reboot. So i did it and get error 13. I'm also trying to unlock it like i did last time so i could use it overseas but it doesnt seem to work either. some help plz. ty

I'm also trying to unlock it like i did last time
One of the purposes of an update is to prevent people from un-locking their phone.
Besides, your carrier doesn't want you to do it, so don't.

IPhone 3GS stopped working after update

When I updated my iPhone to the latest version today everything went OK when downloading, but suddenly it told me that the disc (C:\ om my PC) was full. When I cleared some space it continued, but didn't find the software afterwards. In fact my iPhone froze with the image of the white plug and the blue iTunes music-logo afterwards.
I've tried resetting my PC and reinstalling iTunes. I've also held the on-buttons on top an at the bottom in 'till the white Apple appears, but my phone won't go any further. Neither do I have the option to reset anything from within iTunes, as it doesn't recognise my phone.
Now I'm wondering: Is there a remedy?
Appreciate all the help and guidance I can get. In advance thank you!

See if you can get it into recovery mode using RecBoot so Itunes will recognize it. Then try a manual install.

IPhone 3G very slow after update to 4.x

Dear Steve Jobs,
did you ever tried to use an iPhone 3G running iPhone OS 4.x? Believe me, it is not the kind of product you will like. Could you please intervene and get in contact with responsible apple software engineers. Thank you!
iPhone OS 3.1.2 was very much faster.
Kind regards,
Axel

Iphone 3GS wont activate after update to 6.1?

I have had my 3gs for about a year now. Has never give me any problems in the past. I updated to the new firmware and have since been unable to activate it. I keep getting messages saying about server being down and try again later? Its locked to Orange and this is what I have always used. Has anyone had this problem? Can I go back to my old firmware?
Thanks

Hi,
Yeah its locked to Orange and thats who I am with. It has never been jailbroken from I have owned it but I am not sure about before. I have updated a few times from I have owned it and hav never had any problems.
