My iphone 3gs randomly started to turn itself on and off today and it won't stop like it is continuously doing this. I haven't dropped it or anything it just randomly started doing it. I put it in rice just in case it got water on it. Help! ? My phone won't even be a year old until next month and I was really wanting it to last me for 2 years. :/ What should I do?
Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!

My Iphone is constantly trying to turn itself off and also taking screen shots when I'm not touching it. I think it may have something to do with the Sleep button but would welcome any suggestions. I have already restored it to Factory settings but it didn't help.

hi, I was trying to update my iPhone 3gS but when I turn it on again iTunes send me a message that says error 3194 occurs, please help me!!
If the screen shows a plug going to itunes, then you have no choice, It's in recovery mode. You'll be given the chance to restore from a backup either from itunes or icloud.
I assume when you got the message to update (was this for the ios or update some apps?), that was before the device when dead. At any rate, doing a restore does not change the ios. -
Iphone 4 ringer volume keeps turning itself down
iphone 4 ringer volume keeps turning itself down?
Hi cainstigator,
If you are having issues with your iPhone's volume setting not staying the way it should, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Symptoms
In certain situations, iPhone may present one of the following symptoms:
"Invalid SIM" or "No SIM Card installed" alert appears intermittently.
Status bar displays "No Service", "No SIM" or "Searching" in a location with good network coverage.
Resolution
If you encounter any of the above symptoms on your iPhone, try these steps to attempt to resolve the issue:
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Toggle Airplane mode On and Off.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Remove the SIM Card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Restore the iPhone.

When attempting to synch my IPhone 3Gs I now get a sign "Attempting to copy to Disk failed. The required disk cannot be found."
This is after synching a new Iphone 4s and having received some help from Apple Support who assisted with some setting
changes. Unfortunately this was over a protracted period of time and I cannot recall what was changed. Apparently my 3Gs is out of
its warranty and so they cannot help me unless I pay £25....
Can anyone help??
Johnm2429Well, attempted again today and now my iTunes locks up whenever I select a song! Also, my Volume Mixer on my Windows 7 will not open. Just terrific. Where's my MacBook???????????????

I have an iPhone 3gs (iOS 5.1) with BB 6.15 (the lastest) and it don't detect my SIM and I don't know what to do (I have unistalled all, and installed the lastest iTunes software)
Maybe your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to use another carrier?
If so, now it locks back to the original carrier. -

My iPhone 3GS battery loses at least 30% charge when off for at least an hour
My iPhone 3GS battery loses at least 30% charge when off for at least an hour, I took it in to an apple retail store at the end of 2010 and they told me it was fine but advised I restore and set up as a new iPhone which I did, it got better for about a month then went back to normal losing battery. I have no hardware coverage left and my specs are: iPhone 3GS 16gb IOS 4.3.3 white. I have had it since December 2009.
I'm afraid I don't. I don't know if the phone is still within warranty. I don't know which country you are in. I don't know what third party repair companies charge where you are.
Hang on - I do know one thing: if your phone is still covered by warranty - it's free! -
i have an iphone 3gs i was wondering if i can bring it in and update it to the iphone 4s, i have an i phone 3gs i was wondering if i can bring it in and update it to the iphone 4s
Sure, bring your 3GS in and they will give you about 10% off towards the cost of a new one. You would be far better off to sell it yourself.
