New iPhone 4S displays 3G and connection is slow
It is as the title goes. I just bought a new iPhone 4S from an Apple store to upgrade from an old 3G iPhone.
What is wrong with this? Do I need to go back to the store and make an exchange??
The plan you're on only affects the amount of data you can download each month. It does not affect the speed.
I don't know where you are, but if anything, you should not see a decrease in 3G transfer speeds. In areas where HSPA+ is live, it should be substantially better.
Download the speedtest.net app from the app store (free) and test your speed. In the Cleveland, OH area, I get 8.5 Mbps or better on 3G.
You can try Settings>General>Resets>Reset Network Settings and see if this improves anything.

i got my new iPhone 5 and i connected it to my iTunes on mac and it ask me if i want to setup as new iPhone or restore backup and i restore back up but now i want to delete backup and set up as new iPhone, is the anyhow?
The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:

I have check all wifi issues with ATT&T, Verizon network all believe that it is the phones? I am confused as my 4S worked fine before adding the 4 to the mix....any thoughts are hits to what to do

I was transferring information from my old iPhone to my new iPhone 5S via iTunes and I have completed the process but my phone will not restart, it is stuck in the "Connect to iTunes" screen. Any ideas?

I recently bought a new iPhone 4S in Singapore and found out that I cannot connect the iPhone to the internet over my mobile 3G connection.
The telephone function is working fine as well as wifi; just connecting to the internet through my simcard is not possible.
I hav another existing iPhone 4S, and in this iPhone the mobile internet connection 3G is working perfectly!
I discoverd 1 difference between the two iPhones:
On the new iPhone if I look at
Settings / General / About / Carrier : the text "Orange UK 13.0" is displayed
On my existing it says: "T-Mobile Nl 13.1Sorry, but I think you were ripped off. There is no way a "new" iphone came out of the box provisioned for a carrier in a completely foreign network and country. And Orange phones are sold locked to Orange, so if it is working with your T-Mobile SIM, it has to have been hacked. That would be like me here buying a new iPhone and discoverying it was showing some carrier in Austrlia - just completely beyond reasonable explanation.
If you try and restore, I'd bet money it relocks to Orange and won't accept your SIM at all.
You can try wiping out all network settings and setting things up fresh (maybe do that with the SIM out, then see if it reads the settings correctly from the SIM).

Sorry for the long intro question. I just bought a new iPhone 5S for me and a new 5C for my wife.
We want to give our kids my old 4S and my wife's old 4. We backed up our old phones and restored
our info to our new ones, but when we connect our old phones, they still show all our songs and iTunes
settings on them (along with the same names as our new ones).
We want to set up our old iPhones for our kids to be able to have their own names on theirs so that
when we connect to my iTunes computer, it sees each phone accordingly, and has only the songs
that they select (whereas I want to keep ALL my songs in my iTunes account on mine, not just some).
How do I do this?You are most welcome

I got a new iphone 5c for Xmas and my laptop is registered with my iphone 4, which I no longer use or have hence the new phone lol. How do I remove the old info and register my new phone? Will it let me?
You do not register the phone with the laptop. If you are using the same Apple ID on the new phone as the old, you will have no trouble. Connect the phone and you can restore from a backup of the old phone, or just sync your new phone if it is already set up, with the laptop, managing your content in iTunes.

I'm backing up my new iphone 5 from icloud and it's taking forever for my photos to download. It's been going for 4 days. It's downloaded 1400 out of 1900 photos. Am I doing something wrong?
I think you may not using the right technical terms. When backing up to icloud, there is no way you'd get a message saying things will be wiped. This message may be displayed when you are performing a RESTORE from a backup and then trying to cancel it.
If you are doing a restore, then you can reboot and restore again. -
I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes? I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version. The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?
I have this exact same issue. Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud. This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation). How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back? I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.
By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position! -
