My screen on my Iphone 3gs has lost it's light, Like, I have to hold it in some type of light to see it, what is wrong here?
This is called "no backlight problem". Try a Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart, usually takes 10 seconds of holding both buttons.
This problem is usually due to Liquid Damage to iPhone, either Logic Board component or LCD Display.
If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage, hope it is not Liquid Damage and make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

IPhone 3GS Has Lost Sound When Phoning
My wife has a 3GS she bought in July of this year. A few weeks ago, she noticed that she could not use it to make or receive any phone calls because there was no sound, so she could not hear the person on the other end of the call. If she uses the speaker phone option it works, but this means everyone close by can hear it too. We called the APPLE 1-800 line and were told to try resetting the iPhone through iTunes (back to factory settings) but it still will not work. The lady from APPLE made it sound as if it might cost us money to have it fixed, which makes no sense to me. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
HI,
so she could not hear the person on the other end of the call.
When in a call, make sure mute isn't activated.

I updated itunes, and now my iphone 3GS has lost its connection
I am on a PC by the way...
I have tried following the advise on Apples pages, even down to reinstalling everything, but still no luck...I found the fault... The Apple Device USB Driver had loaded itself under the Imaging Devices. I Uninstalled it, and reinstalled it under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. And now itunes pick up my phone again.
Thanks for all the help, people! -
My iPhone 3gs has frozen while doing update 5.0.1 I think it was. All it shows is the iTunes logo and the usb cable on the screen. I will not turn on or off. I have tried reconnecting to iTunes but nothing happens. Have held both buttons for 10 seconds etc and nothing is working! What can I do?

Over the past couple of months, my iPhone 3GS has had dead spots on the left side of the screen, preventing me from using the r, d and x keys, the number 4 and the semi colon and comma keys. Does anybody have any ideas on why this has happened or any ideas that I'll be able to fix this problem?
Just a note; I can't put my phone to sleep or turn off as my lock button isn't working, so I'm using the AssistiveTouch settings.

I would gladly upgrade to the next model if my contract was due!
This has no impact on the ability to purchase a new iPhone... it simply means that the newer one will not be at a fully subsidized price.
You could always take it to Apple and do an Out of Warranty exchange (I'm assuming the device is out of warranty) for $149 US. -
My iPhone 3GS has frozen. It was going slow all day, and has now completely frozen on the turning off screen. Anyone any ideas? Thanks.
The iOs 5.1 is a huge file that needs to be dowloaded when updating/restoring, your phone hasnt completed the update so its now in recovery mode. Look on the left of itunes, it should say downloads under the store section with a spinning wheel, click that and youll see the update file with a time remaining, wait for that download to finish then try the restore again and it should work

My iPhone 4 has lost safari and App Store , how do I retrieve
Can someone help me, as my iPhone 4 has lost Safari and App Store, how do I retrieve?
They have not. He probably moved them by mistake to another Home page or put it in a folder.
Try Settings>>General>>Reset>>>Reset Home Screen Layout. -
My iphone 3gs is lost, can i find with the help of itunes?
my iphone 3gs is lost
can i find with the help of itunes?With iTunes, no.
If you had "Find My iPhone" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it.
If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPhone" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPhone" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
