New iPhone 3GS with 3.1.2 firmware lost connection and de-activate itself.

I was facing a problem with my iPhone 3GS (with 3.1.2 firmware)that prompt for "Restore is needed" and then lost All Network connection (phone, wifi, bluetooth....). I reboot my phone and its stay on Un-activate condition, which only allow me to call emergency number (which i don't know).
This already happen to me second times with a replacement phone by apple store. So I worry that i will have the same problem even Apple replace another new phone for me.
Please help and let me know what actually happenning on the phone or this firmware.

No, it's not a common problem. In fact, 3.1.2 contains a fix for this a similar problem which was a bug in 3.1.

Further after receiving a call/text kept the phone idle and by the next call come phone turns white and to get rid of it need to press power button once and then press the home button.In the white screen mode touch is not responsive.
    Please let me know what can i do. Tried restoring device from back up, via itune... everything is done. but not getting a solution.
    Is it the problem of iOS5.
    Any help... please suggest.
    Thanks

  • My old iphone was broken and i just got a new iphone (3gs) the problem is i have lost all my data especially the contacts, is there anyway i can get my Old iphone contacts back on the new iphone??

    I had ios 4.3.3 on the old one i am downloading the ios 5 in my new iphone

    You should ahve been syncing the contacts with your computer all along.  Just sync them to the new one.
    Everything should be on your computer as you should have been syncing.
    If you failed to sync everything with your computer, then you can try restoring from the last backup.

  • Can I connect the iphone 3gs with ipad 2?

    Hallo
    can I connect the iphone 3gs with ipad 2?

    You can connect it to use the iPhone as a personal hotspot for the iPad, or to transfer photos/videos via the camera connection kit. You can't connect them in order to transfer music, documents etc.

  • Is it a good idea to update my iphone 3GS with the new io6 software?  I did it with my iphone 3G and the io4 software ruined it really!

    Is it a good idea to update my iphone 3GS with the new io6 software?  I did it with my iphone 3G and the io4 software ruined it really!

    Your plan is generally OK, but I would suggest a different approach, since you're so frazzled by it.
    1. Update iPhoto first; check and backup the iPhoto Library;
    2. Upgrade to Yosemite; This will prompt you to migrate to Photos, but you don't have to do it, so don't!
    3. iPhoto 9.6.1 will remain in your Applications folder and you can continue to use it;
    4. Learn more about Photos, it's features and how iCloud Photo Library really works (for example, once you turn it on, you won't need to download manually);
    5. When you do feel you know enough about Photos, only then launch it to migrate your photos; after migration your iPhoto Library remains fully functional, in case you want to revert to using iPhoto, so that part should not worry you.
    Thet biggest issue you have is the small amount of free space. You might want to address tha first, or locate your new Photos Library on an external drive as well, and only move it to your local drive when it's been optimized (or keep it on an external).

    Why can,t I bluetooth pair my iPhone 3GS with my new iPad, it does not even show up as discoverable. What can I do to fix this

    For what purpose are you trying to pair them?
    Only supported peer to peer apps such as photo transfer or multiplayer games can connect to other iOS devices via Bluetooth. You initiate the connection inside the app running on both devices.

  • I have a new iphone 5 64 gig model and find the battery life extremely short compared to my old iphone 3gs with 16gig...why?...the claim is that the battery life is improved. I am running all the same apps, latest software, etc. on a new unit?

    Very short battery life on new iphone 5 with 64 gig memory. Old 3gs with 16 gig had much longer battery life. Why?

    Here are Apple's tips to lengthen your iPhone's battery life.

  • Can you purchase the iPhone 3GS with cash?

    Just like the subject asks, can you buy an iPhone 3GS with cash, or do you need to use a credit card? I'm selling my 3G on Craigslist (for cash, obviously), and would rather just run to the Apple Store and pay with that and save myself a trip to the ATM.

    For new customers I believe they need a credit card. But for existing customers you can give them cash and they will put it on a gift card and then swipe the gift card. For some reason, they have to do it like that.

    Also, iSync has this to say:
    Until the upgrade, I had no problems syncing my iPhone 3GS with iTunes!
    How can I correct this new issue?

  • Slow iPhone 3Gs with Airport Extreme WiFi

    This seems to be a pretty well established issue as there are in-depth videos on YouTube demonstrating this phenomenon. In a nutshell, my network connection speed stinks on my new iPhone 3Gs when I'm connected to the internet via my Airport Extreme. It's most notable when trying to watch any videos using the phones YouTube app. Too slow downloading to make it worth using. Any known fixes out there? This IS NOT a jail-broke phone BTW, I am 100% legal with AT&T service. Running the latest version of SL and have the latest iPhone OS installed. Any help is appreciated!

    Try asking this question somewhere other than the "Mail and Address Book" forum.

  • How can I get a Brand New iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement phone?

    4/26/2011
    Does anyone how I can get a brand new iPhone 3GS as a warranty  replacement for my iPhone 3GS? I already had the phone replaced once with a refurbished phone that has a problem with becoming frozen and unresponsive. This occurred ten times since I got the phone on 4/16/2011. I have tried doing a hard reset and have also restored the phone as a new device. I have an Apple Care plan. I am concerned that the refurbished phones will not be reliable due to my experience with the refurbished  one that I got as a replacement.
    Thanks!

    Thanks very much for your reply! I have a Genius Bar appointment today maybe they can test the phone to see if they can determine whether or not it is defective.
    Thanks Again!

  • NEW IPHONE 3GS DOES NOT START

    I just got my new iphone 3gs yesterday and have not even had the time to have a nice look at it coz it just does not start.
    When I put the phone to charge the apple logo appears and after that just the sign of USB connector pointing towards itunes (with the itunes logo) appears and phone stops. I had it charged for more than four hours but I don’t see the battery charging status icon anywhere.
    When I press the ON switch on the top the same thing repeats itself meaning it gets stuck in the USB connector pointing towards itunes (with the itunes logo) sign. Totally confused and frustrated. Kindly assist. Lastly as i am new to the apple brand could anyone guide me towards the Software for the IPHONE 3GS i require to install on my desktop in order to sync,email etc.thanks for the advises in advance

    Obviously it's telling you that you need to connect your iphone to your itunes to activate it, otherwise it won't work.
    Firstly download itunes, under Downloads. then install then plug in your iphone, and follow the instructions to activate it. Then you should be set and start using the phone.
