No push-notifications after officially unlocking iphone 3gs

Hey there!
A few days ago I officially unlocked my T-Mobile Germany iPhone 3GS.
After this, push notifications aren't working. It keeps me telling "Connect to Itunes to use push-notifications".
And it doesn't matter whether I try WhatsApp or Facebook.
I tried a restore and a reset of the network settings.
Anyone experiencing the same issues?
Thanks in advance,
Julian

I recently updated my iPhone 3GS with IOS 5. Since then I've found my phone is very slow, but also that What's App Messenger or Facebook does not give me push notifications. Everytime I open the app, it tells me to connect with iTunes to use push notifications. I've done this a few times, but it makes no difference. I don't know if I'm suppose to change any settings on iTunes, but cant find anything to change. All my Whatsapp notification settings are on. I also dont want to uninstall WhatsApp because I'm scared I will lose all my messages.
Please help

I can't get any Twitter push notifications on the ios5/iPhone 3GS...

For some reason, on the new update, I can't get Twitter push notifications. No banners, alerts or anything. I get notifications from everything else (mail, Facebook, SMS, etc), but not Twitter. I've tested it multiple times with reply and mentions and nothing will pop up on my iPhone 3GS.
Went into Settings>Twitter, but there was no option for notifications, and then I went to Settings>Notifications, and I couldn't find anything for Twitter.
Help!!

Push Notifications Never Worked on my 3GS

I know there are masses of posts about this but having read lots I can't find one covering my situation.
As far as I'm aware push notifications have never worked on my iPhone 3GS. I am now using iOS 4.2.1.
The phone was originally locked to O2 in the UK and they gave me an official unlock code to unlock it through iTunes - which I did successfully - when I moved out of the UK.
I can see many posts about problems with jailbroken phones - it's not jailbroken.
I can see many posts about problems with push notifications over WiFi - and while they don't work either, port 5223 is not blocked on my network, and more to the point push notifications don't work when I'm accessing the network visa the mobile network either - so my issue is not WiFi specific.
I have the notifications panel in settings, and for various apps all notifications are turned on, but I've never had a single notification.
I do get push Apple mail notifications (a bleep and the badge showing unread mail when I open the phone) but from what I've read I think this uses a different mechanism.
To be specific about some of the apps I'm having the problem with (and as mentioned none of them are notifying me) these are some that I have the following configured for push: Facebook, Google Goggles, Good Enterprise Email.
I have hard booted the phone (top and front button held down together until the Apple logo appears on the phone). I've ensured the software is up to date through iTunes.
Any suggestions for what else I can try to get push notifications working?

I'm in the same situation.
I have never had PUSH notifications work on my IPhone 3GS as far as I know. Never received notifications from Facebook or any other PUSH type app.
I am not jailbroken and I'm on IOS 4.3, I purchased my phone and the SIM card that came with it was from ROGERS Communication, which is one of if not the largest provider in Canada.
It wasn't really an issue for me until I downloaded "Whatsapp" from the app store, which pretty much relies on PUSH notifications. With multiple tests, I have found out that none of the PUSH notifications come through unless I load the app, which defeats the purpose of having the app in the first place.
So, I too am looking for a fix. Didn't mean to hijack your thread or anything, but maybe if there are more people like us, maybe we can find a fix?

You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source.

HT4623 after updating my iphone 3gs from os 4 to os 5.1.1, it left with activating the phone but i've been trying since and is still not activating, the notification given is ''activition server temporarly unavilable". can somebody help me out?

First use JPanel not Panel.
Panel panels[]=new Panel[4];becomes
JPanel panels[]=new JPanel[4];Then refactor your code so that you use arrays correctly:
panels=new Panel();
panels.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));becomes
panels=new JPanel();
panels[i].setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
I did the above changes to your code and it worked fine.

HT1766 i have an unlocked iphone 3gs and need an upgrade how do i upgrade without losing my unlocked status?

I have an unlocked iphone 3gs how do i upgrade without losing my unlocked status without having to pay to unlock it again.

Updating and restoring does not lock, but if you have a jailbreak (not AppleSoftware) and you return to Apple Software then it will lock. After all Apple has to keep to the law. It is even possible, that the jailbreak software makes it impossible to install Apple Software again and your iPhone will be inoperable after you try the update.
So If you officially unlocked you are fine and if you had a jailbreak, there is nothing an Apple forum can do for you.

After Updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6 i can't activate it

After updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6 i can not activate it.

The original carrier was Rogers i bought it in Canada, but i used it in italy too with another sim card, without jailbreak.
I think that after updating it has been re-locked, but it doesn't work with the original sim too.
The message that i get on the iPhone is:
"Impossible to activate iPhone because server are not avaiable..."
On my Mac it say that i have to insert a valid sim card...
If it was legitimately unlocked then updating it will not re-lock it. It will be re-locked only if it was unlocked by hacking it.
That error message, however, does not mean it is locked. It means that iTunes could not verify the locked state because it could not communicate with Apple's activation database at gs.apple.com. There are common reasons that the server connection fails:
1. Your router, antivirus or firewall is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. You don't have a WiFi connection if you updated on the phone and not with a computer.
3. If you updated using your computer and it was used to hack, unlock or jailbreak some iOS device in the past (not necessarily the iPhone with the problem) and the network database on the computer is corrupted.

HT3576 I don't have Push notifications after I install IOS7.

Idont have Push Notifications after install IOS7 in IPhone 5

This may be a bug or they were simply disabled. Go to Settings> Notifications and then add apps to the Notification Center. If that diesnt work you may be in Do not disturb mode. To get out of do not istirb mode slide up from the bottom of ther screen to suppon control center and tap on the moon so it is not lighting up.

Official Unlocked iPhones - Not Cracked

I believe apple is selling official unlocked iPhones in France. Will this unlocked iphone work in other countries? For example if I purchase unlocked iPhone in France, will it work in Australia?

There is another post on here from a person who lives in Belgium and works 10 miles away in France. The iPhone works fine with the French Network SIM card installed, but not when they change the SIM to a Belgian network SIM.
There is another post from a person who purchased the officially unlocked iPhone in Germany to use in Holland (Netherlands). They are experiencing exactly the same problem. With a country specific SIM installed in Germany, their iPhone works flawlessly, yet when the Dutch network SIM is installed, iPhone does not function correctly.
Ergo, my guess is the official unlocked iPhone requires a country specific network SIM for activation and use.
This situation is no different to any other mobile phone SIM. I can't take my O2 or 3 SIM card out of my phone and install it into a phone I bought in South Africa and expect it to log into the O2 or 3 network in the U.K. The IMEI of the phone in use would have to be registered to the SIM you are proposing to use on the O2 or 3 network in the U.K. For use abroad, International Roaming would have to be activated on your account in the country of the network providing the SIM card.
You would therefor have to contact the network in the country the SIM was issued on, register your IMEI of the new handset and activate International Roaming on your account. You would then be able to use the new mobile overseas, piggybacking onto whichever network provides International Roaming support for your originating network, whilst incurring international call rates.
If I didn't want to incur international call rates, I would have to buy a SIM card from a network in the country I was in and use it in either the new handset or my existing SIM FREE handset.
Buying an unlocked (are unlocked and SIM FREE the same thing? This could be argued.) handset does not guarantee use anywhere in the world. Whilst most SIM FREE mobile phones can be used with any SIM, it could be argued that releasing an official unlocked phone in one particular country, based on the laws of that specific country, is intended for use exclusively in the country whose laws stipulate unlocking of mobile phones.
Could I get full functionality and support on say a Treo 750 on a network which doesn't support that particular device? I would say not, hence Network operators/providers run tests on any mobile device they plan to launch to check functionality. Any upgrades to their system are carried out prior to launch of that particular model, to ensure full functionality of the device. Thus some networks offer certain mobile phones, whilst other networks don't.
This is my understanding of the situation:
The SIM card, read the small print, is the property of the providing network. If the network you plan to use iPhone on offers iPhone or an iPhone SIM, then it will work.
iPhone will work properly in a country it has officially been launched in with either, in the case of the locked iPhone, a dedicated network SIM pre-installed and activated with a price plan or in the case of the officially unlocked iPhone, a SIM from a network within the country the unlocked iPhone was sold in.
In theory, I could go and buy an unlocked iPhone in France. I could use that iPhone in the U.K, however, only on O2 with a price plan (after obtaining an O2 iPhone SIM card) or I could use the iPhone with International Roaming active with any network SIM from a Mobile provider in France, but I would incur International Call Rates.
What you are trying to do is to get round being charged International Roaming Call Rates. This is only possible if iPhone is used with a SIM card from a mobile operator in a country iPhone has been officially released in.

Officially Unlocked iPhone

I bought 2 officially unlocked iPhones, one for me and one for my girl. But they came with version 2.1
My question is: if I update them to 2.2, will iPhones be locked after update?

I have no clue why you have to post your question in a US form, where most of the people have the impression of unlocked iPhone 3G are mostly illegal. And the use of converted SIM card they are misinformed. Hong Kong, Germany and other parts of Europe sell OFFICIALLY UNLOCKED iPhone 3G that works for ALL CARRIERS in the world that supports GSM/HSDPA/WCDMA or whatever the iPhone 3G's wireless band has listed.
If my assumption is correct, the Hong Kong iPhone version will definitely won't be locked if you update with the correct firmware according to where you have purchased. But I have also heard about other people updating their Firmware with other country's firmware without any problem. I strongly suggest you should consult the Hong Kong Apple today and ask about the details. Then report your result to all of us in the North America. Because I really want to know the answer as this may determine if I should buy an iPhone 3G from Hong Kong too!
Added: insert your still active Hong Kong SIM card inside the iPhone 3G and update the firmware, you should not encountered any phone SIM Lock.
Thanks!

If officially unlocked you can do the updates without issue.

Push notifications in flash based iphone apps

And will be support to play music while in flash apps?

Same problem mentioned here:

Can I use officially unlocked iPhone in different countries?

I'm moving to Rome with my job for eight months, then on to Chicago for four months, then back to London. I'm trying to find out if I buy an unlocked Pay as You Go iPhone in one of the various EU countries selling manufacturer unlocked units (France, Germany, Italy, etc) , will it work in each country if I switch to that country's telecom's Sim cards.
The blogs and iPhone dedicated websites are full of opinions but no one seems to have definitive experience doing this. Some users say it should work, others say the EU iPhones are unlocked for the specific country of purchase but will not work with another country's telecom's Sim cards. The Apple Stores will not confirm any usage outside their own country. Similar response from the relevant telecoms. The Apple Support pages do not make any reference to cross country usage beyond roaming.
A privately unlocked iPhone is an option but I prefer an official unlock so there are no hassles. Not looking for opinions here - can find more than enough on the internet. I'm looking for actual first hand experience using these officially unlocked iPhones between countries.

Thanks for the correction on the relevant carriers. Looking at the European options: Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, and Czech Republic should work based on details from Apple's carrier list.
Before I buy I would like to confirm someone has actually purchased an unlocked iPhone in either Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg or Czech Republic and used it with Sim cards from another country.

How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of (connect to iTunes) mode?

How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of recovery (connect to itunes) mode?
Once the iPhone 3GS is in DFU mode and plugged into iTunes, the restore and update process begins. The restores process are as followed:
Extracting software > Preparing iPhone for restore (blank screen) > Preparing iPhone software for restore > Restoring iPhone software > Verifying iPhone restore > Restoring iPhone firmware > The iPhone cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (1).
I clicked on the more information tab and was taken to a website with some troubleshooting. I did what they suggested (based on the error #) and still no luck. I’ve tried to restore and update about 10 times now but the same message keeps coming up at the end. What should I do now?
P.S: I have the latest version of iTunes (11), my windows is up to date etc ...
