My iPhone 3GS keeps freezing when I lock the keypad
I have a 32gb iPhone 3gs and it regularly freezes when I lock the keypad. It sometimes comes unfrozen after a while (usually a long time) and sometimes doesn't come back at all and I have to reset it. I find that it consistently and nearly 100% of the time freezes when I lock the keypad when I have accidentally left the wifi connection on. Can somebody please help me and tell me how I can fix this issue? when the wi-fi is off it doesn't usually freeze, the problems mainly when the wifi is active. Thanks guys
Try restoring the phone. Do a backup of your data on iTunes by syncing it to iTunes (or right click your iPhone and click backup) and then do a restore by clicking "restore". Do not disconnect the iPhone until it is done. After it is done, iTunes will prompt you if you want to restore from backup. Click your backup and let it run through it's process again. See how that works. It just could be a software issue.

My iPhone 3GS keeps freezing when I try opening a text.
I have an iPhone 3GS which I updated to iOS 5 a few days ago.
The update has been fine up until now.
When I receive a text or email notification, I "slide to read" and as soon as I slide the button across to the right the iPhone freezes and I have to hold down the home button and lock button for it to restart.
It has done this 5 times now.
Any ideas as to why this is happening?Try restoring the phone.

My iPhone 5 keeps freezing when I connect to wifi, not just freeze the wifi, but freezes the whole phone and have to hold home and lock button. Locks up completely and instantly when I turn on wifi and connect. Solutions?
1. If you are really on iOS 7.1, you may wish to try upgrading to 8.1.2 which is the latest (basing this on your signature).
2. If updating the phone doesn't help, is this only when you connect to a specific wifi network? Or all wifi networks (including public with no password)? If it is ALL wifi networks, you may have a hardware problem. Genius bar would be the next step.

My iphone 3GS keeps freezing and showing the apple logo during phone calls. Can anybody help plese ? Bja
Hiya thankyou for the answer.
Trying to set it up as a new device but can't find the backup to save it.
I have no "mediasync" folder in my library/application support. Did these folders get moved around with Lion?
Thankyou again, -
My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?
The "fix" is to get the phone repaired. There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you. -
My iPhone 5 is freezing when connected to the charger. This is not happinning if it is connected to the computer USB. How to solve this problem?
Possibly faulty charger. The supplied Apple Charger is covered by the iPhone Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone and Charger to Apple for resolution.

I have just rceived an upgrade to an iPhone 3GS. Now, when I visit the Store all the prices are in US dollars, not a big problem but I cannot edit my card details or contact to a UK address. I cannot see how to change this.
Hi Roger
Thank you for your reply.
My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
Thanks is advance.

Iphone 3gs keeps freezing during calls
I have just received a replacement iphone 3GS running version 4.3.2 software. This was a replacement from Apple just over a week ago. This new phone keeps freezing and returning to the apple start screen approx. 5mins into phone calls.
Can anyone help pleaseHey,
Hold the lock button/ Home button until the apple logo appears this is a hard reset, no data will be lost.
If that fails,
Update the iPhone in iTunes to iOS 4.3.3

Ever since I downloaded ios7, my iPhone 4s keeps freezing when trying to connect to wifi. Help?
My iPhone 4s keeps freezing whenever I try to connect to wifi. It either won't even open wifi, and when it does, it'll freeze as soon as wifi is open. I can force quit the settings area, and it unfreezes the iPhone, but it doesn't fix the settings area, which is still frozen. I have come to points when I can connect to wifi, but it only lasts about 30 seconds before dropping the connection. This happens everywhere, even at home, when I'm right next to the router. What should I do?
Try resetting your settings. Settings > General > Reset.
I had this happen shortly after updating and it worked when I reset.
Doesn't delete anything though. -
My iphone 4 keeps freezing when making calls and the speaker is going
my iphone keeps freezing when i make calls and the speaker is really quiet even at high volume
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue(s) are resolved.

My iphone 4s keeps freezing when I go into my messages.
My 4s keeps freezing when I go into my messages and there are times when I wont get text messages till 20 minutes later. Not sure what to do, I think the delayed text times might have to do with the sprint network, but I'm not sure why my phone keeps freezing.

Iphone 3GS randomly freezing when texting..
I'm not sure if this is the start of an issue with my 3GS iphone or not. I know these things are a bit random and a few problems are to be expected.
But I've recently noticed (3 times on the trot today) when texting on the messages application that the phone occasionally becomes unresponsive and the touch pad freezes.
It's usually rectified just by hitting the refresh / sleep button but is this something others are experiencing or should I take a wander to the Apple shop at some stage just to be sure it's not a problem?
I will be keeping an eye on this for future reference...This seems to be the subject of a problem notified By Topic - iPhone 3GS 32GB touch screen randomly stops/starts working
by what appears to be a good few of you, so it seems I may be one of the many to have a bit of a temperamental dud!
I will hold out for now but forsee a trip to the Genius Bar coming on! -
IPhone 3gs keeps crashing when using camera app and Facebook
My iPhone 3Gs is on its last legs, has been for a while, but I can't afford to upgrade just yet.
It keeps switching off, screen fades to black, when I use both the camera app and Facebook. I then have to reboot. It's not a battery issue, as it happens regardless of whether there's 90% or 9% battery life left, but just seems to happen randomly.
Today, it crashed when I pressed the shutter 'button' to take a photo, yesterday it was while I was selecting a focus point. Really frustrating, as I use the camera a lot. Facebook crashes the phone randomly, too.
This morning, I hung up on a call, then the phone died.
It's running ios5 now but has been doing it for a few months on previous versions of ios, too.
I've tried restoring to factory settings, but that has done nothing.
Any help you can give, much appreciated, thanks!its not your phone bud im having the same problem to keeps crashing and i know its not that the phone is old unless you call 2days old as got it from apple store buch st glasgow on the 14th dec 2011 its an ios issue im sure as my last 1 updated to ios 5 and it wouldnt read sims no longer after speaking to apple they agreed to replace my handset as they are aware that the ios is frying some 3gs model mines was left a brick ie paper weight so if mines is crashing ect i cant even use the camera as it sticks then switches off apple need to sort this ios 5 out

IPhone 3GS Keeps freezing for no reason.
Hey All,
I bought a second-hand iPhone 3GS 16GB from Wicketgadget.com about... 6-7 months ago, the warranty has run out from that website and I doubt it's going to have the original apple warranty from it. I don't have AppleCare and I refuse to pay for support, that's stupid IMO.
Anyway, my problem is that my phone tends to just freeze up for no reason what-so-ever.. for example, I'll be doing something and it'll work fine, if I were to lock it and the screen went black like normal it'd be fine until I try to un-lock it 10 minutes later by pressing the home button or the lock button again and nothing will happen, infact I have to physically reset it by holding down those two buttons for at least 30 seconds or more before it responds. I then have to turn the phone off once it restarts and turn it back on again normally or else it continues to freeze no matter what I do.
I've tried fully restoring it,
I've tried updating it (it's running iOS 5.0.1),
I've tried everything I can think of.
It's had the digitizer and lcd replaced at least 3 times, including a new dock-charger incl. speaker set.
I'm currently on O2-UK,
The phone is running iOS 5.0.1,
My serial number is 880304GJ3NP
Help?Could anybody help me please?
