Report your Problems since upgrading your iPhone 3GS 32GB to iOS4

Upgrade to iOS4 gave me over 100 new features and some *major bugs*.
Mostly annoying for me is that the _GPS function isn't working_, following apps are currently not assisting me anymore:
-Navigon, no GPS signal found, no navigation or fix possible
-Google Maps, no GPS signal found.
-RunKeeper, no GPS signal found, no control of my workout
-SBB Mobile, no GPS signal found, can't locate me and recommend fasted way home
-HeyWay, no GPS signal found, can't send my location request others
-iPushIt, no GPS signal found, can't send my location
-PingChat! 2, no GPS signal found, can't send my location
-WhatsApp, no GPS signal found, can't send my location
-search.ch, no GPS signal found, can't send my location
-GPS MotionX, no GPS signal found, can't send my location
and many more.
Which functions don't work for you since you upgraded to iOS4?

I upgraded to the iOS4 last week and really liked it. I use this extensively for running my business. I'm located 2 1/2 hours away from apple store.
For a couple of days my phone wasn't reliably ringing. I kept checking to make sure it wasn't on silent and the volume was all the way up, which it was. Then yesterday I went to pick up my phone and it had the Restore Needed message was locked out. I went this morning to restore and I keep getting error 1002. I have been through every suggestion on what to do and still error 1002. I have never modified or done anything to my iPhone. My warranty expired last month. Apple doesn't mention error 1002 and from reading various blogs, when they take it in they have been told a multitude of reasons including water damage but all resulting in saying they had to get a replacement. My phone hasn't been near any water. It hasn't been dropped. But now I have a useless phone. I have reinstalled iTunes, I have turned off firewalls, I have tried restoring from another computer that it worked on before. Anyone else having problems?

  • Many apps missing after upgrade from iPhone 3gs to iPhone 4?

    Hi - I'm trying to troubleshoot for my dad who was lucky enough to receive the iphone 4 today. He says the majority of apps didn't transfer from his iphone 3gs. I did a screen share with him and he's right. The apps are on the old iphone 3gs but not showing in his apps library or on the new phone. Anyone else experiencing this? He did a full back-up and had already upgraded his iphone 3gs to the iOS4 software. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I had this issue but found the cause and solution.
    When upgrading from the iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 4 (initial connection of new phone to iTunes) and AT&T moved my phone number from the 3GS to the 4; the 4 told me to power cycle (and I think unplug). Since a power cycle causes the phone to disconnect & reconnect to iTunes, and since the first sync after plugging the phone in always does a backup, it did a backup of the blank phone settings (no apps), and therefore wiped out the checked apps in the Applications tab of iTunes. (Note: The apps' data did exist, so checking an app, syncing, and then running the app showed the data. Good news: Data's still there. Bad news: Any apps you skip will hold their old data, as opposed to when you delete an app and it removes the app data for you.)
    After hitting Erase All Content and Settings on my old 3GS and realizing it only took a minute and not an hour like the original iPhone did running OS 2 or 3, and seeing how smoothly its reinstall went (loaded settings, rebooted phone, and loaded apps OK), and more importantly that iTunes kept the old final 3GS backup and used a new backup for the new iPhone 4, I tried it on the iPhone 4: I hit Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings, then connected the phone. It asked which settings to restore, found my old phone backup (used date/timestamp to find right one); it then loaded settings (a few minutes), rebooted, and went right to installing apps. My phone was fine after that - all apps and folders were restored.

  • Since I upgrade my iphone 3gs to ios 5.1, I have several problems with network and wi-fi, any solution?

    Since I upgrade my iphone 3gs to ios 5.1, I have several problems with network and wi-fi, any solution? (No jailbreak)
    Most of the time the iphone cannot reach any network and when it can, there is no data transfer, I can only make calls and sms.

  • HT4623 upgraded my iphone 3GS to higher iOS but unfortunately my phone has reset factory setting and now i can't use it anymore... tried to connect to iTunes but it would only say: WE ARE SORRY, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE YOUR ACTIVATION THIS TIME...

    tried to upgrade my iPhone 3GS to a higher iOS but unfortunately it had reset factory setting... now i can't use my phone anymore... tried also to connect to iTunes as instructed but only appears: WE ARE SORRY, WE CANNOT CONTINUE YOUR ACTIVATION AT THIS TIME... WHAT SHOULD I DO? THANK YOU...

    No, you do not need to nor should you jailbreak your iPhone.
    If you jailbreak your iPhone, you void any remaining warranty and lose
    all support from Apple including this forum.
    4 possible causes to activation server unavailable message:
    1] activation server is actually unavailable. Happens very rarely and
    does not last long on those rare occasions. Solution is to try again.
    2] your firewall/internet security software/antivirus are preventing connection
    to the activation server. Solution is to temporarily turn off your firewall/internet
    security software/antivirun until you have activated your iPhone.
    3] your iPhone has been jailbroken or otherwise hacked/modified.
    4] the computer you are using to activate the iPhone has been used to
    jailbreak an iOS device.

  • IOS 5.0.1 upgrade on iPhone 3GS,

    Prior to iOS 5.0.1 upgrade on iPhone 3GS, I could readily connect to and use a variety of wireless networks at home, work, and on road.
    Since installing the upgrade as prompted on device, I find WiFi is unstable to unusable.
    Unless the device is sitting practically on top of a router, I cannot maintain connections.
    If I am more than 2 ft out of direct line of sught of router, I lose my connection.
    I have to date read and completed the following online suggestions with no success:
    1-Restarted router - NO CHANGE
    2-Reset Network Settings on device - NO CHANGE
    3-Toggled in and out of Airplane mode - NO CHANGE
    4-Completed various options for start/restart of device - NO CHANGE
    5-Disabled all other services using battery at same time (Bluetooth/Location Services, Mail, Reduced Backlight even) - NO CHANGE
    6-Forgotten prior networks - NO CHANGE
    7-Attempted to assign Static IP to device on router side - NO CHANGE
    8-Restored from backup - NO CHANGE
    8a-Repeat 1-6 again - NO CHANGE
    9-Restored to Factory state - NO CHANGE
    9a-Repeat 1-6 again - NO CHANGE
    10-Changed Router security from OPEN to most SECURE - NO CHANGE
    10a-Repeat 1-6 again - NO CHANGE
    11-Setup new router - NO CHANGE
    11a-Repeat 1-6 and 10 again - NO CHANGE
    During all of this multiple iOS 4.x devices and iOS 5.0 devices have been on the routers connecting as always.
    The device in question functioned perfectly up to the point of iOS 5.0.1 so I know this is not a iPHONE hardware issue nor is it a ROUTER hardware issue.
    I have seen this posted frequently and do not believe this to be an isolated state I am in.
    Any thoughts and suggestions before moving to another manufacturer all together and get out of this Apple mindset.

    Nothing personal (or maybe just a little personal), but simply copying my post from a day earlier as your own is not helpful to the Apple communities or people that coming here looking for support.
    It does nothing more than add a duplicate post and decrease the chances that someone might actually include a reference to my original post, which came from MY OWN HARD WORK in troubleshooting my issues.
    If you are having a similar issue, post the issue after doing your own leg work and describe in your own words.  Don't simple steal someone else's hard work to troubleshoot the problem as your own effort.

  • Ipad3 problems since upgrading to ios8n

    Is anyone else experiencing these problems since upgrading to iOS 8?
    - Need to touch screen several times for a nornal one touch action (note: Screen size/position changes a bit after each successive try.)
    - keyboard response slow at times and at times freezes
    - screen content/image has expanded slightly but enought to put some perimeter icons and controls outside/off the screen.
    Are there fixes?
    ios7 worked beautifully!!! Why won't Apple allow their currently loyal ( but frustrated)  clients to revert back to ios7?

    Hi Go to settings Restore  back, to Factory, settings After Restore use same Apple ID & password, then you will get all your apps & data, back. This will get rid of any bugs. I do this every 2 months, or so on iPhone & iPad. Cheers Brian

  • Any Bluetooth audio problems since upgrading to ICS?

    Hi.
    Was wondering if anyone has had any Bluetooth audio problems since upgrading to ICS?  In particular, have you had any stuttering and/or pauses in streaming since the upgrade?
    I use a MW600 with my phone and I get stuttering and pauses every few minutes between the phone and the MW600 which is very annoying - to the point where I can't reliably use the phone for audio any more.
    Thanks
    Savcom

    Sorry but it seems to be a problem some users are experiencing. It's already been reported so hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

  • I upgraded my iphone 3GS and now it won't play sounds from apps or music. I also cannot sync my music onto my phone.. PLEASE HELP! :(

    Hi Guys
    I recently upgraded my iphone 3GS to the new ioS 5.1. After I did this and synced my phone, it won't let me play any audio from apps, itunes or music. It will allow the phone to ring but that is all. When I use viber I have to press this button and change it from docking to iphone. I take it that the phone thinks I'm permanently on a docking system.
    It also will not sync my music back to my phone. My music is on itunes but it won't let it sync.
    I have restored my phone twice and it still won't work - HELP!! Please???

    Your device is broken.  If you want a device that works better than the one you have now, then you'll either need to bring your phone into Apple for out of warranty exchange ($149), or find a 3rd party repair shop in your area and see what they can do, if anything at all.

  • Since updating my iPhone 3GS on my friends laptop, it keeps asking for her iTunes Id not mine. When I log onto a computer it comes up with my Id but from my phone it's my friends. I don't have an option to change the user Id when it pops up either.

I don't have an option to change the user Id when it pops up either. So I can't update my apps, download songs or games now as it will charge my friend

    Hello, 34sandy. 
    Thank you for the question.  This behavior is normal if updated on another Apple ID account holders computer.  To change the Apple ID on your device, follow the steps in the article below.

  • Upgraded my iPhone 3gs to OS 6.1.6.

    upgraded my iPhone 3gs to OS 6.1.6. post this, Apps store stopped working. Whatsapp also stopped. None of the Apps Icon link enables on click in Apps store

    You're welcome.
    The best protection is to simply passcode protect your phone. That way, no one can get into the phone to do anything. As for Find My Phone, simply turning the phone off defeats it, then you restore as a new device in iTunes.
    Make sure your phone is passcode protected.

  • Recently i upgrade my iphone 3gs to IOS5. currently , after a week my iphone keep on crashing

    recently i upgraded my iphone 3gs to IOS5. currently , after a week my iphone keep on crashing and restarting.
    Please help me.

    I have a iPhone 3GS and installed iOS5.  Since then, my phone crashes 2-3 times a day, it has a hard time find the cell networks (no 3G and says no network often), and eats up a fully charged battery overnight searching for connections.  Fixing my phone is now my number one use of my free time!  AT&T store says I should just upgrade my phone.  This a software issue!  I upgraded to iOS5.01 and it seems to be no different. 
    My wife had similar issues with her iPhone3G and iOS4.  We made 3 trips to the Apple Store to do a deep recovery to bring it back to life.  They told us it was a hardware issue and we needed to buy a new phone.  iOS4.1 fixed all the problems and the phone worked great.
    I guess I am in for the same ride And will hope iOS5.1 fixes my issues.  Apple PLEASE HELP!!!!!
