wat is best ios for iphone 3g as far as battery performance is concerned?

According to tests done in the wild iOS4 lasted 5% longer than iOS3 (about 10 minutes). Not much of a notible difference. Best bet is to upgrade your phone. A 3Gs on iOS4 ran more than 30 minutes longer on the same test.

  • Which is the best iOS for iPhone 3G? I am currently on 3.1.3 !

    Which is the best iOS for iPhone 3G?
    Should i update it to the latest 4.2.1 or let it be on my current firmware 3.1.3?
    I have heard that 3G is best on 3.1.3?
    Comment?

    If I may, I agree that version 3.1.3 is the best for the iPhone 3G, however, I am currently travelling in Europe and I have a SIM card from a local mobile company. I discovered the hard way that there is an option missing: Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data (on/off). This option is not present in iOS 3.1.3. So basically, you disable 3G but it is impossible to block EDGE, and your phone will automatically revert to it if 3G is not available, and you will occur cellular data fees anyway.
    I am sure of what I am saying because with the local service I use, I have unlimited data for $4 per day, but it is debited as soon as I consume one byte of data, then it is free until midnight the same day. Event if I have set Enable 3G = off, Data Roaming = off, for two days in a row, I was still charged the $4 a day because the Cellular Data was not off!
    I compared with my wife's iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.1, there is the three options, Enable 3G (on/off), Data Roaming (on/off), Cellular Data (on/off). The option to turn it off simply doesn't exists on iOS 3.1.3!
    With some research, I found that it is possible to block it anyway if you change your APN (Access Point Name) to an invalid setting. The easiest way to do this is to connect to the Internet using WiFi, then access this web site with Safari: http://unlockit.co.nz/ (from your iPhone).
    This online tool allows you to change your APN, it is very useful when you travel abroad and you use local SIMs. On the first screen press Continue, on the second screen press Custom APN to create an APN for a local mobile company, or press Disable Data (FakeAPN) to disable 3G and Edge for good. When creating a Custom APN, you will be asked to choose a Country and a Provider, then press Create Profile. Then, either way, press Install and "Install Now" or "Replace", then press Done. This will add two things to your phone: first, an app-like icon for quick access to the website http://unlockit.co.nz/, second, a new menu in Settings > General, labelled "Profile", that contains your new APN. Note that it is possible to add several profile information, and some may conflict with each other. Remove those you don't need. Don't remove them if you are not sure!
    I hope this works for you!

    Downloaded new iOS for iPhone 5. Now the handset is running hot, keeps freezing on different screens, won't charge on official charger ( only charges on crap poundland one) and battery is loosing 1% every two minutes!

  • What is the latest iOS for iPhone 3GS and will there be another update

    What is the latest iOS for iPhone 3GS and will there be another update or is it iOS 6.1.3 and no more

    The 3GS is not listed in the supported list for iOS7. Unless Apple comes out with a major bug fix, 6.1.3 will likely be the last update for it.

    i download the recent ios for iphone 4. i connected iphone 4 to my pc and it wont connect to itunes. What is the lastest version of itunes that DOES NOT support the lastest version of ios?

    Yes, due to Incomplete Software Update on your iPhone your Device is now in Recovery Mode and you cannot take a Backup now. But if you have taken a backup earlier then you can Restore that backup on your iPhone after you Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings.

    iOS 4.2.1 is the latest.
    If you are on a previous level to update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

  • What's the best guess for iphone 5 delivery?

    What's the best guess for iphone 5 delivery?

    There seems to be a lot of confusion on when everyone will actually receive the iPhone 5. Pre-orders for new devices have approximate delivery dates and are never official. For an example, Dave pre-ordered an iPhone 5 on 09/15 but there is still a possibility the device will be delivered to the address by 09/21. I've seen this happen many times. Here are the delivery dates for iPhone 5 pre-orders:
    Order by           Deliver by
    9/14 by 9am       9/21
    9/14 by 1pm       9/26
    9/14 after 1pm    9/28
    9/15 - 9/18         10/5

  • Why did apple stop makeing ios for iphone 3g?

    i've been wondering why you all have stoped making ios for iphone 3's inpurticular because i can't get any up dateed stuff on my iphone?

    Because the hardware can't support it. The iPhone 3G is very old, it had to be dropped at some point. All later models are still supported as of now.
