Want to selet 3G area coverage in IPhone 3GS

In my area I have seen that my IPhone 3GS don't select the 3G coverage by default but it select the standard coverage (normal calls, SMS etc). This becomes a problem that I don't have any internet connectivity while it selects the standard coverage. I tried to check Enable 3G On/OFF but no use, Unless I turn the phone off and on to select the other network, which is a bother plus it returns back to the Standard system after a while.
As for it, I am sure that the 3G network is provided when ever I am going because my friends can access the internet on there smart phones.
Is there a way to fix the problem? make the phone select the 3G network by default? or I select it manually?
Thanks.

The way the iPhone works if it has not been hacked/jailbroken is Wifi then 3G - Edge - GPRS. If your phone is not functioning this way, you should contact your carrier to verify that data is enabled for your phone.

    I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
    Anything I haven't tried?
    HELP!

    A bit confused by your statement

    Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
    I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
    A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
    You can try to borrow and  use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
    Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

    Roaminggnome,
    Ahmed wants to 'put'  this on his iPhone. He shows an Egyptian address and Arabic has no 'p' sound, So 'put' would sound like 'but' to him and he typed it the way it sounds.

    You get past it by connecting to iTunes.

  • Some areas on my IPhone 3GS are not responsive...?

    Hi,
    I just bought an iPhone 3GS yesterday and have realized there are some areas on the screen that are non-responsive to my touch. For example, when im trying to sign in for the app-store, I can not press the okay button. Also when I flip the phone to landscape mode, the "T" key does not respond. So those are some general areas. Is this software issues? Or is there something wrong with my iphone, hardware wise...?
    Any advice would be great! Thanks!

    I'd say it's a hardware issue and you should get it replaced since it's only a day old -- or make an appointment at the Apple genius bar and have them look at it:

  • Want to connect car GPS receiver to iPhone 3GS

    Hi,
    Getting a little tired with the unreliability of the iPhone 3GS GPS reception in the car so I wondered if I could connect the receiver that is already built into the car. I changed the head unit (the SatNav was pretty basic anyway) for a Pioneer that allows me to control and play music through the car stereo from my iPhone and also lets me make calls via Bluetooth. Is it possible to get a Y splitter that would also allow me to connect the GPS receiver to give me more reliable Satellite Navigation?
    Hoping somebody out there can help me.
    Steve.

  • Help! I want to view books/pdfs on my iphone 3gs!

    It's so annoying to view books on ibooks. I have books in pdf format and I want to view them with ibooks but it's hard to read them because you have to scroll across the screen after each line to read the next. None of the settings for ibooks are fixing this problem. Is there another app that would help me? All I want is an app where I can read books in portrait mode so the text will be bigger and I can just scroll down. I'm not sure if I'm having the problem in ibooks because it's a pdf? Also, is there a way to give pdfs a cover. Some of mine do, but when I try to change it in get info, nothing happens. I've seen screenshots of ibooks and it looks like portrait mode is justified to the screen but it's not like that for me. Is this because they're pdfs? I hope that made sense! Someone please help me!

  • IPhone 3GS Availability in India

    I want to know when will the new iPhone 3GS will be available in India? look forward to an early reply.

    Some reports on the internet are saying Dec 2009, others are saying Feb 2010. Knowing India like I do, I would place my bet on the later date...meaning only a 6 month delay since the originally quoted 9th Aug date!!

  • Syncing Notes between Iphone 3GS and Macbook Pro

    I've read all the forums I can about this, but can't seem to find the answer.
    I want to sync my notes between my Iphone 3GS and my Macbook Pro. Right now when I add a note in my Iphone it automatically is added in my mail account in the Macbook.
    However, if I add a note in the Macbook, it does not get added to my Iphone.
    I'd like it to go both ways. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

  • All of my music and photos are on my iphone.  I want to transfer them to my new PC.  How do I do it?

    My old PC crashed.   All of my songs and photos are on my iphone. I want to transfer my (1) photos to my new computer, and (2) my 2800 songs (only 300 or so of which I purchased through iTunes) to iTunes on my new PC.  I have tried everyhting!  I can see the about 300 songs (must be the ones I purchased on iTunes) in iTunes on my new PC.  I can see the other 2500 songs in iTunes on my new PC, but they are in gray font and I can't play them.  I need to clean songs and photos off of my iphone ASAP because it is full and doesn't work well, but I don't want to do so if there is a risk that I will loose them or have to reload 300 music CDs to my new computer.

  • I want to Facetime my Ipad from my Iphone but they are both set up with the same Apple id.  Do I need to create a new id for one of them in order to facetime with the other?

    I want to Facetime my Ipad from my Iphone but they are both set up with the same Apple id.  Do I need to create a new id for one of them in order to facetime with the other?

    You should be able to call the iPad using your Apple ID from the iPhone. When calling from iPad use the iPhone's phone number to initiate the call.
