TS1398 my i phone 3gs get brill wi-fi connection, why is my new i phone 5 pants?

My 3yr old i phone 3gs will pic2 up wi-fi from miles away, why do i have to be in the same room as the router for my new i phone 5 to get a connection?

No iPhone and no wi-fi device can pick up wi-fi from miles away from a wireless router.
The iPhone 5 has to be in the same room as the router with every router and wi-fi network the iPhone has access to, or just with one particular router?

Can't get bb curve to connect to computer, w/ new USB, downloaded desktop manager................anything I'm missing? Help! Thanks, Holly

Solved!

If you can't answer the questions, then you leave us to pretty much guess at what could be wrong. Are you sure you don't know what PC OS you are running?
Given what you are willing to do, there's not much that can be done here. You see, this is free to you, and voluntary by me (and the others who participate here). I get nothing helping you out here. This is not any part of your formal support. As such, there's nothing we can do beyond use the information you provide in order to guide us to what might be going on. But, so far, we have nothing from you at all.
But, let me continue to try again...can you tell me the steps you attempt? And the results of each step? After all, you say you "can't get bb curve to connect to computer"...so, you must have tried something. What did you try? What happened with each step along the way of what you tried?
If you can't participate in providing information, free support such as this will be pretty useless to you...fee-based support would be your next step, I'd think. If someone get's paid to help you, they might have tools available that the volunteers here don't have.

HT1688 I've heard that iPhone 3GS got slower and more delayed when iPhone 4 & 4S came out, so will iPhone 3GS get even more delayed and slower when the new iPhone 5 comes out?

Just wondering

No one I know, that has a 3GS, has experienced any "slow down" problems, nor am I aware of any such widespread problems. If there were, this forum would be flooded with posts attesting to such...it is not. Millions of this units were sold & the vast majority of users have zero issues.
Everytime Apple updates the iOS, reports surface of floods, people going bald, their pets run away, their house burn down, etc., etc. Been like this since the first iOS update. Widespread? No.

3GS gets burning hot during calls

For some reason, and ONLY OCCASIONALLY, my iPhone 3GS gets burning hot during phone calls. I'm definitely in a 68 degree cool environment, no direct sun, my phone was cold to the touch when I picked it up. But by 10 minutes into the call it's nearly too hot to touch. There's something about CERTAIN CALLS that this happens on. Other calls will be just fine. Often I can hang up with the person, call them back and the phone is fine.
I've even had the phone thermal-shutdown on me in the middle of a call, because of ITS OWN - SELF GENERATED heat.
Naturally this rips battery life to shreds. I get about 15 minutes of talk and I'm done. Even ON CHARGER, it continues to lose battery and will shut down. So the phone module is drawing more power than USB charging can replace.
How do I fix this? Or is the iPhone just junk?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar - http://apple.com/retail/geniusbar . The heat is coming from your battery.

My 3gs gets unbearably hot

My 3gs gets so hot when I am talking on it that I can't hold it against my face after several minutes.
Would Apple replace it even though it isn't a current model?

Hi Nataliefromact,
Based on your description of the issue, you may want to look into having your iPhone serviced, especially if there is a location nearby where you can take your phone in and show them the heat issue in person. You may find the following page helpful:

My iPhone 3GS gets warm and runs out of battery

My iPhone 3GS gets warm and runs out of battery.
No change if I reboot the phone. The only thing that works is to reinstall the phone in iTunes, but the problem soon comes back.

Hi,
If you Restored from Backup... Then there may be Corruption in the Backup... That being the case, the Next Step is to Restore as New...

Hello ashlyn888,
Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

How to I get my contacts from the iCloud to my new phone

I am having problems with my new iphone5 the lady in the shop saved all my contacts on the iCloud and said I could get them once I have started up my new phone.does anyone know how I can get my contacts from the iCloud to new iPhone. Thanks

It depends on how she saved them on iCloud. Check your contacts on icloud.com from your computer. If they are there, all you need to do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, then turn Contacts to On.
If your contacts aren't on icloud.com, she may have simply backed up your phone to iCloud. If that's the case, you would have to restore the backup to your new phone by going to Settings>General>Reset, tapping Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.

How can I get the hot spot connection to say working on my phone?

I cannot get my hot spot connection to stay working.

There are phone companies that do only allow tethering with more expensive rates. Would have to talk with your company to see if your phone can rate tethering.

No. Sell the 8gb and buy one with more capacity.
