Old iPhone will not reset - keeps settings.

Hi Everyone
I have the iPhone 5. Thus, I wanted to use my old iPhone 3GS as an iPod.
I went ahead and reset the old iPhone 3GS.
I then logged into my Apple iTunes account using a DIFFERENT email address. I went to download some apps, and the iPhone 3GS has the same settings as the iPhone 5. In other words, lets say I download Pandora, I would download the Pandora app on iPhone 3GS to have as a "different" phone, yet when I open Pandora it is still signed in as it would be on the iPhone 5.
I have a few social media and dating apps - specifically Grindr - and when I try to download it on my iPhone 3GS, it downloads, but when I open it, it shows the same profile that I have on iPhone 5. If I delete the app from my iPhone 3GS, it is also deleted from the iPhone 5. So its almost like both of the phones are interconnected, and I would like to disconnect them.
Here is what I have tried to do to separate these phones:
Factory re-set my old iPhone 3GS
Make sure that both phones have different iTunes/Apple ID's connected to them, and that the emails are not interconnected.
Sign up for a new Apple ID with a new credit card.
Regardless, both of my phones are acting as if they are on the same account, etc.
I am frustrated, I don't know what to do.
Anyone?

I checked and the iCloud accounts are different. I even turned off the iCloud feature on both phones and it is still doing this.
I am signed in under different iTunes accounts for both phones as well.

  • IPhone will not reset will not activate

    Hi all, I have spent hours trying to upgrade to ios5 on my 3gs  now it will not reset or activate tryed on and home buttons .

    It simply sounds like you don't have a good cell signal.  Take the iPhone to an area with good cell reception and then turn then iPhone off and on again.  Once it get a signal then it should activate.
    If that doesn't work then take it to the neared store of your cell carrier for activation.

  • Will you please help me? ipad will not reset "network settings" or forget network!

    My ipad will not connect to WiFi although my laptop does. When I try to reset network settings the old settings reappear. It will not "forget this network". What do i need to do next?

    I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills.  It's easy, quick and harmless:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
    Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide.  Pay special attention to page 162.  Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

    Finally,  the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less   comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

  • Videos that were on my old iphone will not go onto iphone 3g

    I had a first generation iphone and recently upgraded to the iphone 3g. I have some movies that I want to sync to my new iphone (that i had on my old phone) that my computer won't let me put on it. has anyone else noticed this? is there a fix?

    Contact the developer of the app to see if it is still supported. 
    Try resetting or restarting the device.
    If it still will not work, you could try contacting iTunes Customer Support to request a refund, but if you've had it for more than about 30 days, it's unlikely they will offer a refund.

  • Iphone will not reset

    Was using phone to make a call and it just cut out and saying no service, turned phone off and back on and apple logo was on screen. Have tried to reset but still apple logo remains. Have also tried to restore thro itunes but plugged phone in and its not showing on devices?
    Please help!!!

    I don't believe Apple sells the iPhone officially in China, so this iPhone is a hacked iPhone, or is a knock-off or a fake.
    The iPhone's firmware or OS includes some default apps which cannot be deleted, but does not include any pre-installed games.
    Holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button resets the iPhone, which is similar to a computer restart and does not affect any data or settings. An iPhone reset does not restore the iPhone to factory settings. The only way to restore an iPhone to factory settings is by selecting Restore under the Summary tab for the iPhone sync preferences. This erases the iPhone followed by re-installing the current firmware version. The iPhone includes an Erase All Content and Settings option, which is not the same as restoring an iPhone with iTunes.
    Since this iPhone has either been hacked or is a knock-off or a fake, neither one is supported by Apple.

  • HT1430 iphone will not reset

    my iphone keeps cutting off and now it wont reset itself or turn on any advice

    The first step is to evaluate battery seems like it could be the fault. Try to Restore iPhone Firmware with iTunes on computer. If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, you can still take iPhone to Apple for Battery diagnostic testing.

  • HT201412 iphone will not reset or restart. Help!

    Hi! I seem to have frozen my iphone. I'm not sure how but it froze and I can't reset or restart it. Any one help?

    Hi there Jennas27,
    It sounds like your phone is not turning on at all at this point. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article about that kind of an issue. It also has information on reaching out to Apple if needed:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • 3GS iPhone Will not Reset / Restore

    I am having a problem restoring 3GS iPhone I do get a Apple start up screen but nothing further. When I attempted to iTunes it says that it's in recovery mode and wants to do something but it never does.
    I think it's not completely erased or reset and that's the problem but I don't know.
    Any idea out there?

    Several solutions appear:

  • My phone will not  reset because it fell in the toilet

    my old iphone will npot reset since it fell in the toilet and i have to reset it before i send it back

    When an iPhone get submerged in water the last thing you want to do is try to turn it on.  The water could cause the electronics to short out and permanently ruin the iPhone.  Most people that drop their iPhone in water try to fully dry out the phone by fist trying to remove any water by airing it out and pouring it out.  Then they place it in a bag with rice and let it remain there for at least three days.  Then, and only then would you want to try and turn the iPhone on.  Many times it will then work, but unfortunately also frequently it still will not work properly and need service or replaced.

  • If I restore and update my old iPhone, will it mess up my iPhone 3G

    I have an iPhone 3G running 2.2.1 but still use my deactivated first generation iPhone more or less as an iPod Touch. If I update the software on the old phone to the 2.2.1 will it mess up the AT&T registration for my 3G phone during the setup process? Possibly activate the old phone and deactivate the 3G phone? Thanks everyone.

    Your old iPhone will not affect your iPhone 3G. This article will help you set up the old iPhone.

        Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!
