My old iPhone 3gs won't let me use the 3g data!!

I havent been able to use the data i have on my plan at all!
Is this a problem of the Iphone or the network?
I'm with vodafone and when I querried them, they said that I had to take it to apple store...
I dont have warranty anymore so fixing it may cost heaps...
is there some otherway of fixing this problem?

Start with basic troubleshooting.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore.
One of these is likely to help.
Also, verify that in Settings > General > Network > that Cellular data is turned on.

  • My iPhone 3GS won't let me use my mobile data network since the 5.01 update, does anyone know how to rectify this yet??

    Is there a new update from 5.01 that fixes the data network problems yet??

    Straight after upgrading mine to 5.1 this morning, I got a very long SMS from O2 telling me how I can connect to the Internet and check all my settings.
    Maybe worth checking all of yours are still correct. Maybe they know it can cause a problem

    Hey idontevenknowwhattodoaboutthis,
    It sounds like you may be having issues with a Wi-Fi connection. If you have determined that the issue is with your phone and not with the particular Wi-Fi hotspot you are using, then you will want to use the following article to help you troubleshoot this:

  • HT5622 iPhone is stuck on old ID and won't let me change the ID to get into Cloud segment of Settings.  Need to get this straight so I can backup to Cloud before updating to new System

    iPhone is stuck on old ID and won't let me change the ID in settings to get into Cloud.  Want to sync phone to Cloud before updating the Systems.  No such problem on other phone or 2 iPads linked to account.  Help!

    Thanks Bob,
    That was just a typo.
    I have three accounts set up in Mail, one of which, apart my the username which is my son's, has exactly the same settings as the one that isn't working and remember it's affecting all my devices.
    I would feel happier even if I could create a fourth account on my MacBook Pro using what I know to be the correct password for the server but when I try it keeps defaulting to imap type, I don't get an option for Pop which is what I need.
    Oh Bum.

  • My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. Solutions?

    My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7.  There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • On my home wireless network, the iphone 5 won't let me enter the IP address, subnet mask and router info. I was able to enter the DNS and Search Domains. How do I open up those fields?

    On my home wireless network, the iphone 5 won't let me enter the IP address, subnet mask and router info. I was able to enter the DNS and Search Domains. How do I open up those fields?

    Apparently the router is not sending the info to the iphone. How can I make that happen?

  • My CS6 liquify tool won't let me use the warp tool.  I only have the cross hair.

    The liquify tool in my CS6 only has cross hair and won't let me use the tool like it's supposed to.  How do I fix that?

    Er, Audition doesn't have a liquify tool. Dunno which CS6 app does, but that's the forum you should post on.

  • Problem transferring old iPhone 3GS to new phone 5S using computer.  The iMac which I've been using to back up 3GS for years does not seem to recognize the 5S.  No setup assist is coming on screen so I can't begin the transfer.  Any ideas for this?

    Problem tranferring old iPhone 3GS (ios 6.1.6) to new iPhone 5S (ios 8.1.2) through iTunes on my iMac computer  (OSX 10.5.8) . I have backed up the 3GS this way since purchase of 3GS.  The computer does not seem to recognize the 5S is there -- no setup assist is appearing on screen. Any ideas welcome.

  • TS1398 My iPhone 4S won't let me turn the wifi on!

    Hi! My iPhone won't let me turn the wifi on, the option is greyed out in settings and the control centre doesn't work-it doesn't turn on either. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks xxx

    Hi Lullita.
    This is a common problem on iphone 4s using ios 7.
    I have had this problem myself.
    Try basic troubleshooting : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    If that doesnt help, try this.
    Go to youtube and type this " 4s wifi grey" ... You will find a couple of videos describing a method which includes blowdrying your phone and puttin it into freezer. This method does fix your wifi, I know I have tried it myself, and it brought back my wifi and bluetooth, which were greyed out.
    But be very careful, this method can damage your device if youre not careful enough. Do this at your own risk.
    Hope I helped.
    Donnie.

  • IPhone keyboard won't let me type the word "fixes"

    When I try to type the word "fixes", the iPhone (3G, with iPhone OS 2.2) keyboard won't let me type the word "fixes". If I hold down my finger for the last letter, and move it left and right, I can see that it is refusing to allow "S" to be typed. It switches between "A" and "D".
    I have seen other examples of this in the past, where the keyboard simply refuses to type some letters, but never on a common English word before.
    Has anyone found a way around this, other than accepting the wrong letter, backspacing, and re-typing?
    Cheers,
    Will.

    All this time, I thought it was me...I couldn't for the life of me type my daughter's name, Caitlin, into the phone. I would always get C-A-I-R-L-I-N. Again, thought it was just me not being able to hit that key right, though I don't really have a problem with anything else. Then this weekend, I finally tried to force the phone to type it right by trying to slide my finger to the "T", and it was completely skipped over. I went back and forth from "R" to "Y" several times. Nope, the "T" refused to be typed. Now that I know it's a confirmed bug, I feel a little bit better about my iPhone typing skills.

    I recently downloaded Mozilla. I like it but the only thing that I cannot do is use the back button. It won't let me use it. The color that highlights the back button is dimmed. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

    Do you get a drop-down list if you keep the left mouse button pressed on the Back button?

  • HT1491 Added a I tunes card but it won't let me use the money how do I use it

    Hi I've just topped my I tunes account up with a I tunes card and it won't let me use my money on there

    What I mean is what is happening when you try to buy the movie? Does the cost of the movie exceed to amount of the gift card? Many areas/states/countries add a sales tax or a VAT to the purchase that will exceed the card amount.
    what exactly is happening? Describe?

  • HT4059 Have several books that were purchased recently, when all the sudden they have multiplied having 20 or more copies in my library   How can I delete them because it won't let me use the edit tab?

    Have several books that were recently purchased. This week these books have multiplied into at least 20 or more copies within my library. How can I delete them because it will not let me use the edit tab?

    Do they have the cloud icon on them ? When I had Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'on' I was getting multiple copies of books that were only in the cloud showing on the bookshelf in the app - turning that setting 'off' stopped them showing (you can see what books are available for redownloading, and redownload them, via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app)
