No Sound on iPhone 3gs after upgrade to 3.1.3

Hi All,
If anyboby elase has seen this problem or knows of a fix, I would appreciate some feedback.
After upgrading my 3gs to 3.1.3 every now and again the sound stops working (i.e. no riniging, no music etc) the only way to fix this is to reboot the phone, and all is well until the next time!

Check in the headphone socket for fluff - people who keep their phones in pockets will often accumulate dust/fluff in there and that messes about the contacts.
When the phone 'goes silent' try plugging in headphones and you may hear something, indicating that the phone thinks it is in headphone mode when its isn't.
Canned air can solve this but be careful - no liquids in case you trip the moisture senors.!

  • Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
    I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
    I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
    I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
    I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
    I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

  • Why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?

    why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?
    It says,
    ''There is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate''
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    There are several common causes for this problem:
    Your security software (Antivirus, firewall, router settings) is blocking access to gs.apple.com, Apple's activation servers. Try temporarily disabling your security applications on your computer.
    You have a redirect in your hosts file that defines a different IP address for gs.apple.com. you must delete all references to gs.apple.com from your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, or /etc/hosts on a Mac)
    Your phone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.

    i cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    I am experiencing the same issue and could use some advice:
    Yesterday I plugged my Iphone 3GS into my computer and I selected in Itunes to update to the latest IOS 5.1.1.
    Before I did this the iphone worked correctly, and after I did this it will not let me access the apps at all. I went to the Apple store and the rep told me I needed to have a working AT&T sim installed in it to complete the upgrade. I went to the AT&T store and had them put one of their working sim card in and it would not work.  The AT&T rep said he has seen several people with Iphone 3GS who updated to the latest IOS 5.1.1 whos phones will not recognize the sim card and thus will not let you get to the apps. 
    Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

    Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
    If this is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • HT1414 how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

  • I can,t activate iphone 3gs after upgrade 6.1.2

    I can,t activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade 6.1.2.Now what i can do

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?

  • Problems on iphone 3GS after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2., Problems on iphone 3GS after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2.

    Hello all,
    Some urgent help needed on the 3 problems listed on priority basis, as follows.
    P1 -> I upgraded to IOS6.1.2 on my iPhone 3GS last week and all worked fine for 2 days. Then, last Thursday (21st February) evening, the mail app started crashing and is currntly unusable. All efforts to Restart/Reset, have failed.
    P2 -> With the SMS app, there is no sound/vibrate available, whenever a message comes in. Pretty annoying!
    P3 -> There is extremely heavy battery drain, resulting in the phone having to be charged atleast 4-5 times a day.
    On the upside, after the upgrade, the phone works really fast.
    Could any of the gurus over her, offer any help or insights please?
    Thanks & Regards,
    sworld

    Backup, Restore in iTunes afresh, Setup as new, Sync personal data back with iTunes tab helps many.
    Cheers

  • No service in Iphone 3GS after upgrading to 6.0.1

    Hi,
    I have an Iphone 3GS with IOS version 4.1. Last saturday I upgraded it to IOS 6.0.1 and since then I get No service and Searching messages.
    I tried my SIM card in a different Iphone and it worked fine. I tried another working SIM card in my Iphone, and it also got No Service or Searching.
    I tried restoring, but still no luck.
    My phone worked fine till this upgrade, for both calls and internet connection.
    Any suggestion on how to proceed?
    Please techies, these devices should have a way to go back to a previosu version of the software which ws working fine.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,

    It is obvious that I did not make myself clear in my first message.
    The problem is with the phone after doing an upgrade, It is an Apple issue, that is why I am posting it in this forum.
    Once more, "I tried my SIM card in a different Iphone and it worked fine. I tried another working SIM card in my Iphone, and it also got No Service or Searching." There is nothing wrong with the SIM card, it works fine, in fact I have it running in another phone till I sort out this issue.
    The upgrade does not depend on Movistar or any other carrier, and this problem is happening worldwide.
    I am afraid that you are misleading the problem.

  • A problem about iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS4

    After upgrading to iOS4, when I switch on the 'Airoplane Mode' and record sound, I couldn't play back the material I had recorded. However, when my iPhone was in the version 3.1.X, materials recorded with 'Airplane Mode' on could be played back.

    Made a new folder and that solved my problem

  • Reception problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    AFter upgrading to 4.2.1, my 3GS iPhone is experiencing bad signal, bad quality and frequent disconnections.
    This was repeated even after my provider replaced my device to a different 3GS device, running 4.2.1.
    inserting my SIM card to a NOKIA phone, showed strong signal and good reception.
    Did anyone experience reception problems on 3GS running 4.2.1??
    Thanks,

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple.

  • How I fixed my crashing iPhone 3Gs after upgrading to iOS 4x

    My experience...iPhone 3Gs, working fine until I upgraded to the iOS 4. I have two wi-fi zones that I use, 1 at home, 1 at work. Home is DHCP pushing out an IP address, at work manually IP address. All this changed after upgrade and crashed durning calls at home and work. Then it got worse and started crashing/rebooting once a day. I rang Apple support and, as advised, in iTunes restored my iPhone and set it up as a New Phone. Ok for a day but it got worse than ever, so I tried the following: worked for 3 days with 3Gs only, wi-fi off...no crashing, worked for three days wi-fi only, 3Gs off...no crashing. Then put both back on again, back to square one, crashing. I tried one more thing. I entered Settings, General, Reset and Reset all Settings. That was 10 days ago, no more crashing at all. Now I had to setup all my seting again, but it was worth it...I love my iPhone again! Try it...

    Did you check your security software settings? eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
