Wifi failure iphone 3G

I have a 3g iphone running 3.1.2 firmware. Over the last couple months the wifi has stopped working. My phone would see the networks and then fail to connect. I went to the apple store where I was told to restore, which did not solve the problem. Then I went back and I was told there was no hardware problem with the phone and I would be charged if I wanted a new one. I then reset the network settings on my phone and that didnt solve the problem either. Now when wi-fi is on, my phone doenst see any networks, even when it is next to the router.Does anyone have this problem also or any suggestions?Thanks iphone 3g iphone OS 3.1.2

Phone Interference iphone 3G

I have a 3g phone that has started acting funny. I did a google search for the problem and couldnt find anything, so I thought I would ask here.Over the weekend, my phone started acting strange while I was running. Yesterday, it started skipping parts of songs and/or playing songs 2-3 times faster than they should be. It seemed to get better once I performed a soft resetThis morning, I had a local radio show app playing, and all of a sudden, it quit and my iTunes started playing without me touching the phone. After about 30 seconds of playing, the skipping / fast play started again. I did two resets, and each time the phone started back up, itunes automatically started playing (still skipping and fast playing).I am running the latest operating system on my phone.I recently started running with the Nike Plus Sports Band. This is the band that allows me to use the Nike Plus Sensor that is not compatible with my 3g phone. Could the Nike Plus Band ne causing the interference? Does anyone have any suggestions?Thank you in advance. macbook Mac OS X (10.6.2)

iphone Problems 3G

Couple of problems:1. My wifes computer is in for repairs (will be back within the week hopefully) and this holds her ITunes account. I will have to load up ITunes again on her machine on a fresh operating system (Windows 7) when it returns, which I feel wont have any of her ITunes backup files on it.............Problem 1!!!2. Her iphone has just crashed and will try and load up but only gets to the apple symbol and then shuts down. Have read some solutions about resetting iphone but it involves her ITunes on her computer (see point 1.) What is the solution to this problem??? Problem 2!!!!3. I have tried to log her onto ITunes on my computer which it does (or says it has) but it shows all my downloaded programs and not hers......is this normal?? If we connect her iphone onto this ITunes account will it download all my stuff. Problem 3!!!!4 Is there any other way to reset her iphone without connecting it to a computer (ITunes) so it can be used............Problem 4!!!Frustrated Windows 7

iphone screen flashes between blank and white apple wont turn off 3G

Sometime today my iphone started alternating between several screens, primarily a blank screen and the white apple screen. I first noticed it when I was in an application and the Do you want to turn off slider appeared. I clicked on cancel. At other times it would go blank and when I pushed the wake up button it would prompt me for my password and then let me back into my app.I tried turning it off and the little circle thing showed up and the screen went blank. Moments later it the white apple appeared, went away, came back.I tried to force it off by pressing the two buttons until the white apple appeared. Then I let go the buttons and watched the white apple for a while. At one point it let me back in and I went into the settings and then it wouldnt let me out of the settings! I went into Wallpaper and in Camera Roll I saw a lot of photos of the Settings Window! So this means that every time I pushed the button to get out of Setting it took a picture?!?!?!I updated the iphone about 10 days ago. I installed some apps a few days ago and another one today as part of the debug process (it was mentioned in a different thread). I also tried reset All Settings, but it is still jumping between blank and the white apple.Any suggestions? iphone 3G iphone OS 3.1.2

Touchscreen Deadzone Dead spot unresponsive iphone 3G

Recently Ive been getting a dead zone occasionally at the centre of my screen (3rd row, middles two icons) whereby the area doesnt respond to touch unless I do a hard reset (hold power and home).

making ringtones iphone

I feel really ashamed of myself as I have no Mac or apple pc. I tried to make some personalized ringtones which tell me immediately who is ringing without using garageband but converting mp3 files in ACC by I-Tune advanced option and modified the extension in m4r. The Itunes library , ringtones section, accepted immediately and so I transferred them to the I_Phone library. Great succsess, but....but... when I turned the I_Phone off and turned it back on again it was totally stuck and I had to reset it totally from scratch, loosing all data. Now.. should I buy a Mac pc? If a friend of mine changes the MP3 file into I_Phone ringtones, can I transfer them with a flasf memory to my PCinsert them using my PC and my I_Tunes windows programme? Thanks!! I_PHONE

Out of Warranty Replacement iphone 3G

Hey,I have an iphone 3G, and lets just say it has lived a hard life. Screen is shattered and the rest is scratched extensively - so I have decided I would like to replace it using the out of warranty replacement option.Thing is, a little piece of plastic has come off over the volume button section (along with the buttons) leaving a gap of less than an inch long. Will this result in it being irreplaceable as catastrophic damage with the iphone in multiple pieces or will it just be ignored?I appreciate your help! Macbook

Unable to Receive Or Send Picture Messages On iphone 3G.

My wife has an iphone 3G on a monthly contract with O2 in the UK.I sent her a picture (MMS) message from my 3GS which she couldnt receive as her phone wasnt set up for MMS.She sent the required text message to O2 who duly responded by saying that they would set up MMS and let her know when it was available to her.Then NOTHING! She sent 2 more texts to O2 and got 2 more standard replies but still no picture messaging.Eventually she sent an email to O2 who asked if she had the latest iphone software and if MMS was switched on. She replied that she had and it was and O2 said theyd look into it.There was then a few days silence and now O2 appear to be stumped. Theyve asked my wife to phone them on an 0870 number to try to sort it out.Before she does that, however, does anyone on this forum have any ideas?

My OldNew iphone wont work 3G

My friend recently got a new IPhone3GS, because of that, he gave me his old IPhone3G. I immediately went to settings, reset, and I reset the whole iphone, and all the data. It was taking a while, but what I didnt know was that it had a low battery. Around the half way mark of the format the battery died, I plugged it in, and I-Tunes wont recognize it. I try turning it on, and it brings up the Apple Logo, for about 15-30 seconds, and it flashes and turns off. I have been keeping it plugged in, so it is not a battery issue. how would I fix this? iphone 3G iphone OS 3.0 NOT WORKING

Today, I did a reset on my phone (holding sleep and home buttons) and the Apple logo came up like usual, but my phone did not reboot. The screen just shut off after a minute or so, and pressing the home or wake buttons dont do anything. If I hold them down to reset again, the Apple logo appears again, but I get the same results. I tried plugging it into my computer, but iTunes doesnt recognize the phone. Anyone know whats wrong, or how I can fix it? MacBook (Black) Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Unable to RESTORE iphone 3G

Hi, first time posting. Im about ready to toss out my beloved iphone 3G. Ive never, in my 1 and 1/2 years of owning the iphone 3G, come across this type of situation before. Hoping someone can help.I was happily on FW version 3.0.1 with everything working just fine. Then one night, the iphone wouldnt respond to me pushing the sleep/wake button, so I tried a hard reset, but that threw the phone into either DFU mode or Recovery mode (screen was just blank). So I tried restoring with iTunes, but it wouldnt restore. iTunes would always get to Verifying iphone Restore with the progress bar, but never complete.The progress bar on the iphone itself under the Apple logo would also freeze (but where it would freeze seems to depend on the FW version Im trying to restore). I have since tried with FW versions 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.1, and 3.1.2. I have tried with iTunes versions 8.2 and 9.0.2 (fresh re-installs also).I have tried on various operating systems: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, XP, Vita, Mac OS X.I checked my iphone Software Updater Logs and they all have the same error:2010-01-12 16:21:28.839 iTunes.exe5564:11f0: <Restore Device 0825D740>: operation 14 progress 1002010-01-12 16:21:28.970 iTunes.exe5564:11f0: <Restore Device 0825D740>: operation 15 progress -12010-01-12 16:21:41.022 iTunes.exe5564:11f0: <Restore Device 0825D740>: operation 16 progress -12010-01-12 16:21:41.128 iTunes.exe5564:11f0: <Restore Device 0825D740>: operation 15 progress -12010-01-12 16:21:41.336 iTunes.exe5564:11f0: <Restore Device 0825D740>: operation 16 progress -12010-01-12 16:21:46.956 iTunes.exe5564:11f0: <Restore Device 0825D740>: operation 27 progress -12010-01-12 16:21:49.167 iTunes.exe5564:11f0: <Restore Device 0825D740>: operation 27 progress -12010-01-12 16:21:50.486 iTunes.exe5564:11f0: <Restore Device 0825D740>: operation 17 progress -12010-01-12 16:23:02.544 iTunes.exe5564:11f0: <Restore Device 0825D740>: operation 25 progress -12010-01-12 16:23:02.638 iTunes.exe5564:11f0: device returned AMR error 6 iphone 3G Windows 7

Wont register-says it doesnt support my phonecardS card iphone 3G

I started using my iphone 3G without having it registered on my Imac computer. It worked fine just the same. After 3 weeks with no problems at all, I wanted to transfer photos from the phone onto the computer, and that worked just fine. But then, the iphone freezes, locks itself and it says it doesnt recognize my SIM card and that I should use an operator that is national supported. But I am. And the SIM card is in the computer and when it asks me to unluck it doesnt accept my code and the only imagine showned on my iphone is a cord with an arrow pointing upwards and on the top theres a little icon with the writing Itunes. When I slide for emergency as it says, another imagine appear: the phone numbers with different languages saying Emergency call. On the top left corner it says SIM locked. I have tried to reset the iphone, it doesnt change a thing. I have tried to use my SIM card in another phone and theres no problem. Whats wrong? Anyone? Please, please help me.

Cannot send text messages in my house or other buildings iphone

So here is my issue. I got an iphone for Christmas, and at first didnt have a problem with is. But for the past 4 days or so, I havent been able to send or receive text messages in my house and most other buildings. What really boggles me here is that while I cant send text messages, I can make and receive calls, and have a signal that is around 3 or 4 bars. Is it me, or does anyone agree that if a phone can make calls, it should be able to send text messages?I have asked Telus about this problem, and they have been little help. The first time I went to them about it, they reset the network and said that would fix it. The second time I asked about it, they told me it was most likely a problem with the phone itself, which makes no sense to me.In addition, I noticed that a few other Telus customers on here posting that they have problems with their iPhones. Is there something I should know about the Telus network and the iphone?Thoughts? Thanks Compaq Windows Vista

Downloded ringtones iphone 3G

I just downloaded a ringtone from my iTunes on my phone but cannot seem to find it. In my iTunes> More> Downloads there is nothing displayed. Also in the sounds of my settings menu there is nothing being displayed. Lastly, it does not appear to be in my iPod anywhere, but that doesnt really surprise me. I figured this was just an error and went to download it again but was prompted by my phone that I have already downloaded it before, do I really want to do so again? If I connect my phone to my computer, I am greeted with a message that says the ringtone will not be completed because it is not authorized to play on my computer (which seems like a whole different can of worms).Am I just not looking hard enough?

White screen with lines iphone 3G

When I tried to use my phone yesterday I hit the home button and all I saw was a white screen with dark lines going up and down the right side of the phone. I tried to reset by holding the home/sleep button but it goes back to white. Next I plugged into I-tunes and tried to restore it. No luck there either. I-tunes recognizes the phone, syncs, backups but wont restore. It is a refurbed 3g from AT&T and I am still under my 90 day warranty. Any solutions? Also, will apple repair/replace it or will I need to go thru AT&T?Thanks! Emachines Windows XP

group texting should be like this iphone

hello. i just got an iphone to see what the hype was about. as a business man i bought the htc tilt 2. i have clients that i need to send text sms to at given times. now there are a lot of group texting apps out there and none of them do group texting in the way it was ment to be done. you dont have the options to: select all recipients in a group or select 1 2 or 3 etc. in contacts or in groups.every app that i have searched for that has texting or group texting or contact tweaks or contact management dont have this feature. you have to either select the contacts one by one or select contacts one by one and save as a template for later texting. this is 2010 app developers need to get a grip. now being that i am a windows user i chose the htc tilt 2. there is an appp that does this for windows mobile users. and it is called (Skb Group SMS and Scheduler) here is a link to it for a quick peak (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TRLbGTPk4c) now this is the way group texting is supposed to be. if you know anyone who develops apps for iphone grouping and or texting send them there so they can see how it is really done. it wouldnt be that hard to put a link inside of the contacts so you can select as many contacts as you would like to text. my question is they have all of these apps for the iphone and cant make a simple button for selecting the whole group to text or a check box to select the contacts that they want to text? i see that you can select all in a group in a program called groups drag and drop. and you can email the whole group. they missed the boat on that one. emailing is not the biggest thing going, texting is. please help me in this effort to make peoples live better by emailing iphone app developers to make an app that is like Skb Group SMS and Scheduler if they do that then people will be lining up to get it. hit me up and let me know what you think and if you have any ideas or if you know anyone that can accomplish this type of app or if there is one out there somewhere that i dont know about. www.myspace.com/roundtablestudios hp Windows 7

No Service on my phone only in Whitewater WI iphone

For the past few days I have been unable to make calls or send texts with my iphone 3G because the AT&T carrier signal will only connect very briefly around my hometown of Whitewater, WI. After about twenty seconds of connection it will drop off completely. It seems to affect only my phone, because my fiances iphone 3GS has full bars.I scheduled an appointment with an Apple Genius at the Madison, WI Apple store on January 10. Of course the phone performed wonderfully in the Madison 3G network. I switched the phone to use EDGE only and it worked just as well. Their recommendation was to contact AT&T about the issue. I spoke with an AT&T rep and they gave me the runaround. I was told that if the phone is malfunctioning it should be taken to Apple, since it is covered under Applecare.As I was driving home the 3G network dropped off and I had no signal the rest of the way.Turning the phone off and on does not solve the issue. I have tried the reset Network Settings and Erase All Content and Settings options. I have also tried restoring the phone from iTunes. I had no luck reseating the SIM card either. All of these methods have the same results. The AT&T signal will connect temporarily for a few seconds and then drop off.Is there anything else I can do to alleviate this issue?

Please Help Ready to throw my iphone out window 3G

First time posting on the forums but its gotten to the point where my phone isnt even usable and I either need some answers or a good excuse to smash it.So heres the story:I got my iphone 3G (black, 16GB) in September (I think), last year. The phone operated fine with only minor annoyances as software updates came down to fix issues, no big deal. About 10 months in, the phone starts acting up:If you want clarification on some problem, ask. I don’t want to type out 8 paragraphs if I don’t have to, should be pretty self-explanatory.Before OS 3:1.)Can’t slide to answer calls. After ringing stops phone behaves normally.2.)Doesn’t charge from wall or computer (happened randomly). Plug phone in, it says it’s charging but never charges.3.)Can’t end calls / call doesn’t end when other line is hung up (thanks for wasting my minutes).(these problems persist even with hard resets and full restores, including setting the phone up as a new phone rather than restoring from a backup)After OS 3 AND full restore:1.)Can’t slide to answer calls. After ringing stops phone behaves normally.2.)Can’t end calls / call doesn’t end when other line is hung up (thanks for wasting my minutes).(same as above, problems persist with hard resets and the like)At any rate, I was home one weekend and figured I’d take the phone to the Genius bar at the Mayfair Mall Apple Store. Sounded like a good plan until I get to the mall and find the store is being renovated (seriously Apple, you can’t just put that on your site that a store is closed for some reason? Give me a break). Home is 3 hours away for me and the closest Apple store is 2.5 hours away. Awesome.I deal with the problems for another month or so until my girlfriend and I take a trip to visit her friend in Minnesota. While there we go to the Mall of America so I decide to go to the Apple Store there (which is flappin’ giant, by the way). I explain my problems to the ‘Genius’ as well as informing him of the numerous restores/resets I’ve done both before and after the 3.0 update. He checks the phone for water damage and concludes that the headphone/dock ports are dusty which is causing the charging problem. I proceed to tell him I’ve cleaned them with compressed air before and the problems continued but he’s the ‘Genius’ so I let him do his thing and clean them again. Afterwards, he concludes (via the iphone diagnostic software they have) that since I haven’t done a restore in about a month that I should do another one as that will likely remedy the problem. Right. Was he even listening when I explained that the problems happened before and after the 3.0 update or that I had on numerous occasions attempted to remedy the problem with hard resets and restores? Nope. My girlfriend over hears this (she is aware of the problems I was having and is a Apple-certified hardware technician at our local Mac store) and comes over to reiterate (albeit slightly more forcefully than I had initially) that the problems occur regardless of restore state or software version. The ‘Genius’ finally decides he can replace the phone after explaining to him that we are not anywhere near an Apple store and that there’s little time left in the warranty. I get my new phone set up and ready to go. Whew.Everything is great. Phone works, no issues. Until ~2 months ago, new issues start cropping up.OS 3.1+ (happen on all versions):1.)Can’t sync, get “unable to complete. Phone was disconnected.” Error. (I checked around the forums and tried a few things but was unable to resolve the issue, including trying to remove the files that it kept ‘disconnecting’ on when it got to, no effect)2.)Installing an application (be it via App Store on the phone or via sync with my desktop) results in the phone being unable to boot if turned off. When attempting to turn it back on, Apple logo shows then phone goes off after a few seconds. Only way to resolve this is by booting the phone directly to restore mode and doing a full restore.3.)Earlier this week, my phone wouldn’t boot after having no apps (0, zero, zip, nada) on it after restoring it a few weeks back. Apple logo showed up then the spinning loading animation overlaid on the logo only to freeze. Attempted booting again and it came on (whew).4.)Today, my phone wouldn’t boot at all, again, no apps are on or have been on the phone since I last restored it. Tried turning it off/on a few times, no good. I ended up restoring the phone again.At first, my girlfriend was convinced that it was because I was synching with my desktop PC (obviously, blame it on the PC first), which I’ve been using since I got the phone and everything was fine until both phones randomly decided to crap out. I ended up restoring it on my MacBook Pro as a new phone just to see but the same thing happens with the apps causing it to not boot. After that we thought that it might be a single (or a few) apps that were just taking the phone down for some reason. I restored the phone with no apps and it seemed to be ok so I put 3 apps that I’ve had pretty much since they were available (and used to work without issue) back on to see. The plan was to add a few apps until the phone stopped working properly to narrow down the offending app. Just kidding! Just having those 3 apps (Beejive IM, Facebook, iDracula) causes the phone to not boot. I restore and try just Facebook. Same thing, phone doesn’t boot. Restore, try just Beejive. Same thing, phone won’t boot. By the way, the phone doesn’t boot even without me having LAUNCHED THE APPS AT ALL. Just by being on my phone it’s totally hosed.At this point I have no idea what to do. I want to like my iphone again but it’s terribly worthless when I have to restore it every other day and can’t use my ~$90 worth of apps (PS: even Apple’s own ‘Remote’ app brings the phone down). I really, really hate to say it but my old HTC Hermes (Windows Mobile 5/6) PDA phone was better than this (and WinMo is god-awful).Does anyone have any suggestions? My phone is out of warranty now and I don’t have money to buy another phone even if I wanted to.***Also, I treat my phone like a baby. It hasnt been dropped a single time, been near water, or operated outside of the safe operating temp guidlines.***Im willing to elaborate on any of the information I provided above, just let me know.Message was edited by: xxjudgmentxx MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2007) iphone OS 3.1.2

new computer syncing problems with itunes iphone 3G

Hi there.Its not really a new computer I just couldnt put the whole problem up in the header and it might as well be as Ive had to erase the hard drive, reinstall leopard and start all over again. obviously my phone thinks that of course it is synced with another itunes library (which doesnt exist). (Im hesitant o sync it with the computer in anyway as it may erase all of the applications that I have acquired and bought in recent months. Is there anything I can do about this?Thanks iBook G4, G4 tower and G4 (mirror door) G4 (mirror door) runs leopard

Push Notification only works for some Apps iphone

I just upgraded to a new iphone 3GS from the official german carrier (t-mobile). The device is not jailbroken or unlocked.With some applications push notification works (iFun, Trivial Pursuit, Ping, Facebook, IM+), with some not (N-TV news, Focus news, ebay). I already tried deinstallation with data removal of the apps and reinstallation.Is there some way to reset the push notification feature, or reset the device token? Thanks in advance for your help! iphone 3GS iphone OS 3.1.2 32GB official T-Mobile

Unresponsive White Screen with Vertical Black lines on right side of iphone 3G

I was walking down the stairs today, pulled the iphone out of my pocket, and noticed that the screen was white with about 10 vertical black lines on right side. Reseting the phone sometimes changes the screen to green-ish. But the phone appears unresponsive even after a hard reset and restore through itunes.Unfortunately, my phone is 20 months old, and Im afraid the warranty is over...Any ideas? (I am also on a business trip)Thanks MACBOOK Pro iphone OS 3.1.2

No iphone sounds

Hi guys, Id appreciate any and all help. Today, randomly, my iphone stopped emitting sound. I was watching a movie during the day, I received a phone call, everything worked normal until I synced with itunes. After the sync, the iphone wont emit any sound at all. At this point, Ill point out that the mute/sound on/of flip switch above the volume controls on the iphone is definitely set to on. So Ive tried re-syncing my iphone, doing a soft reset and turning the phone off and on, all to no avail. Im currently in the middle of a hard reset+restore via itunes but hold little hope. Any ideas? If it matters, Im using an iphone 3g 8gb, never Jailbroken or anything like that. Thanks iphone OS 3.1

Problems with connecting iphone to computers

Hi all, I am new to iphone and I just brought it 3 days ago, I am sure it should be a nice device if I could connect it to the itunes in my pc,however, it fails right at the beginning.I am using Dell Studio 15 which I bought in August, and then I have downloaded itunes and it works all fine with my ipod mini nano that I bought in Ocotober. However, days ago I purchased an iphone, and I found out that the itunes in my pc cannot detect the phone(but it in fact could detect it as a Digital Still Camera), have already called the Apple services hotline here in Hong Kong, but they cant find out where the problem lies, even I have reinstalled all related softwares and checked all USB hubs. Even the newly installed itunes can work with ipod!!!!!Another fact is that the iphone works well with all other pc that I have tried but not mine, and I only have one personal pc so I need it to work with the phone!! Have read an old post here about a month ago that one user shared the same case with me, which his/her iphone couldnt work with Dell 1555, he/she finally get the matter settled by reset the iphone, however I have tried and now my phone is even worse, it freezes at the restore page and I cant do anything =( Anyone know whats going on here? Is is really something incapable between iphone and dell? What should I do?Million Thanks to all of you =) Dell Studio 15

I have done a reset and restore, network reset and checked for software updates. Its an old 2g model but I love it and dont want a new one. Any help? iphone iphone OS 3.1.2

Several iphone problems. Please Help 3G

I bought my iphone off of a friend of mine and the phone had worked amazingly for 5 months then problems occurred non-stop. The phone is stock and not jailbroken or unlocked. My iphone would not connect to my own wifi connection and my friends iphone would. All my text messages have been received delayed from 2mins to 2 hours to even days. My service would go from full bars to Searching... to No Service. I have called AT&T and they gave me a new SIM card and that didnt fix it. I do not receive 90%of my calls as of now. The problem was temporarily gone on Jan. 1, 2010 but then returned Jan.2. I have restored my phone several times and lost much data. I have tried hard restores and soft restores and those only fix the issue for maybe 2 mins TOPS. I have restored it as a new iphone. I have reset the network settings literally everyday, as well as toggled 3G and airplane mode. When i put my sim card onto my LG Trax, the service is great and i get messages instantly. I have taken good care of the iphone and have not dropped it. My parents are going to the point of considering switching us (my whole family) to a more reliable network and phone because i have already missed several important calls due to the iphone. Also my SIM card is a 3G sim card, but when my SIM card is in, the 3G symbol does not appear even with 3G turned on. When my brothers SIM card is in the iphone the 3G symbol does appear. I have taken it to a few service stores and paid about $90 all together to downgrade the firmware and that didnt fix it. I have heard of several problems with the new 3.1.2. software similar to mine. I really want to stay with the iphone and AT&T but if this problem is not solved we are gone for good. I do not know if the iphone is still under warranty becuase my friend lost their reciept. So any help will be much appriciated. Windows xp iphone OS 3.1.2

Battery Issues-What are my options iphone 3G

I read through a lot of posts and didnt find one that seemed to match, so forgive me if this is a duplicate.I usually use my phone off and on during the day, and charge it overnight. Ive had it since July 09 and had no problems with this. It has been run down to the point of shutting itself off before I plugged it in for the night (fairly regularly, but not every day.)A few days ago, I plugged the phone in to charge for the night and it did not seem to register the charge. No happy little buzz-buzz, no change in the battery icon, etc. I tried my husbands cord as well, nothing. While this was going on, the phone turned itself off. My husband took it, plugged it in, and hard rebooted the phone the next morning - ok, all is well. Battery shows as fully charged.The same thing happened that night, with the same solution. But last night, no dice. Phone is not recharging or rebooting. Its off and seems to be determined to stay off. We just moved to a rural area and I had not had a chance to look into the phone situation or locate the closest store. Unfortunately we are over 3 hours from the nearest Apple store and scheduled for almost a foot of snow this week (on top of the 3 inches we are getting today!) so - unfortunately - a trip to the Apple store is not in the cards. Is mailing it in for service/replacement my only option? Is there anything else I can try?Thanks in advance for your help. iphone 3G iphone OS 3.1

iphone crashed hard after Erase all settings and data 3G

I have a problem with my iphone, which is further compounded by being out to sea in the Arabian Gulf, so no internet access. Anyways, my phone was acting up, and I read somewhere that if you erase all the setting it would fix it. My phone was being read on itunes on my computer as just iphone and wouldnt let me change anything, so the restore phone that way was out. Also, after it nuked, I gave it to a buddy of mine here on the ship, and he tried whatever tricks it could do with a mac. He gave it back to me unsuccessful. I updated my itunes to itunes 9 or whatever the new one is. So pretty much, when I turn my phone on, it is stuck at the opening screen with the little apple, until is resets and then does it all over again. If you plug it into a computer, it doesnt realize anything is plugged in. I am lost as to what to do with it, other than throw it over the side. Hopefully someone know what to do here. Thank you.

crashes like crazy after battery swap restore doesnt help iphone 3G

Quick summary: I have an iphone 3G thats out of warranty. Battery wasnt lasting very long, so I installed a replacement off eBay.Ever since doing so, it crashes hard and often. Ive since put the original battery back in, and saw no improvement. Multiple restores have been ineffective; even in its virgin state, right after restore, it will crash with anything that uses a lot of power. Ive even tried buying another battery and installing it, and still havent seen any improvement.I have crash logs and kernel panic logs, but the only trend I can see is that the crashes occur when I do something that requires more power, such as loading an app, turning on bluetooth and/or wifi, playing a sound, etc... All of the hardware works, in between crashes.Just wondering if anyone here has seen anything similar, or has any experience with these kinds of symptoms. Thanks in advance! iphone 3G iphone OS 3.1.2
