MDCrashReport.exe iphone 3g

after connecting my iphone 3g and syncing successfully using iTunes 9.0 and the latest iphone software, a programme called MDCrashReport.exe launches and bring the CPU to a standstill by taking 99% of processor time.This behaviour occurs even if the phone is ejected from iTunes and iTunes is closed down. The only way to stop it is to force a quit through task manager.Has anyone experienced this? What can I do to stop it happening.Thanks. HP Pavilion Windows XP SP3 HP Pavilion SP3

Has else noticed iphone 3g tray larger than ATTs s card

Hello,Just a brief history of my iphone to start. Purchased in December of 09 via Best Buy. About 3 months ago I started to have connectivity issues with the iphone. I would not receive notices of people calling and my text messages would come 12-48 hrs later than when they were sent. I called AT&T first regarding the issue. They pointed the finger at Apple and said it was their issue, I felt that it was their issue. I blamed their 3g network for the issue, as well as stating that they do not keep their end of the bargain regarding the best 3g network. I threatened a class action lawsuit against them regarding the false claims of their cellular network in Wisconsin being available to my area. That aroused someone because before I knew it I was being told that I would get a new phone. I received the new phone within 5 days. The phone I received is no better than my previous iphone. Same issues as stated above, as well as searching for service, showing one bar with the edge symbol, and having the phone remove the edge symbol when making a call. Its ridiculous to say the least. So one of my questions is, can Apples hardware or software be the issue or is it a case of AT&T network being non compatible with Apples hardware or vice versa? Let me also state that its not just me with these problems where I live(Area code 53559) but others as well with the iphone 3g. Here is the funny part, one of my friends has the 3Gs and his phone does great where I live, 4-5 bars constantly to my one or none. This brings me to believe that the 3Gs hardware is different some how? Antennae?etc. Is this true? Im at my ropes end trying to get my phone to work like it should. Im also exhausted dealing with the blame game between Apple and AT&T. If anyone has any answers or advice I would appreciate it very much. Regarding the Subject of this post, does anyone elses card come up short of fitting(Could this contribute to the connectivity issues?) the tray perfectly front to rear?Message was edited by: yokomo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

iphone 3g only will only flash Apple logo and nothing else. HELP

My phone started acting up yesterday and then it started only showing the apple logo. It flashes off and on. I plugged it in the computer and it stopped when plugged in. I then downloaded the new software and it still does the same thing. Any help or information you can give will be greatly appreciated. I bought the phone overseas so I doubt I can get official support here in the USA. I just moved back to the USA from Singapore. Macbook

iphone frozen in DFU mode 3g

Hi there,recently ive had A LOT of problems with the lock/switch off button.It never works, it doesnt lock, it wont bring up the Power Off option, nor will it recognise it if Im holding it and the home button down (so in other words, the only way to turn my iphone off is to let it run out of battery.)I read on a couple of 3rd party forums saying that this is most likely a software error rather than a hardware one so I went to restore my iphone, after it switched off, iTunes froze and quit itself.my iphone has been stuck on that screen with the apple logo and the progress bar ever since.iTunes wont recognise it, and the light on my USB hub doesnt even come on when its plugged in, so obviously the phone doesnt even realise its plugged in.I dont know what to do, theres a 5 day wait to book into the genius bar at my nearest apple store, and I really need my phone.What to do? I estimate at this rate it will take a few days for it to run out of battery, so waiting for that to happen and then plugging it in isnt really an option, not to mention without the software to recognise being plugged in, that approach is useless.ANY advice is welcomed immediately.Regards,Joel Macbook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Touchscreen way too sensitive iphone 3g

I have an iphone 3g.The touchscreen is so sensitive, that it sometimes registers a touch even if my finger is a 1/4 of an inch away. The behavior comes and goes, and sometimes so bad that it is impossible to operate the phone at all, as all touches seem random.Restarting (powerdown, wait, restart) does not help.iTunes is up to date.iphone software is up to date.The phone is relatively new, and has not been dropped.The screen has no scratches, or smudges, and is cleaned only with a moist (water only) cloth.Anyone else have this problem?

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?

iphone suffers from massive SMS delays after recent update

I did a search and couldnt find similar symptoms...Im getting massive delays intermittently between messages being sent to my phone and them actually being received at my end. Having been quite content with the performance of my iphone 3g 8GB in the year and a half or so that Ive had it, I naturally suspected that my carrier was as fault. I spent some time doing some tests with other phones I have lying around and had no such issues with the same sim card, messages arrive almost instantly. Other symptoms include, incessant messages declaring could not activate cellular data network randomly whilst not actually doing anything seemingly data related. Intermittent periods of No Service, several backed up messages arriving as soon as someone rings me, often sent many hours previous.Sending SMS is just as difficult it often takes five or six attempts to get a message to send. Again, something that doesnt happen with different handsets using the same sim card.When I walk to the back area of my workplace I also get a glut of backed up delayed messages, seemingly because Im connected to a different tower, but at the other end of the work place I have full reception and 3g. Its as though the phone cant handle the switch between different mobile cells. These delays occur outside my workplace as well, at 3am the other morning I received a glut of six messages Id been sent at around 5pm the previous evening. I now have to tell people that sending me an sms is highly unreliable and they should ring me.With the 3.1 update my phone had all the reception issues that many people had to deal with, they where seemingly fixed with the 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 updates only to be replaced with a software package that stops me for being able to use my iphone for SMS messages.Is there anything I can do to fix this?

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

iphone 3g Beeping at Random – About 2 to five times per Day

Sort of like a very high pitched sped-up sonar-type sound—exactly five beeps in quick succession—that fades off. Unlike any sound Ive heard or can access on the phone itself. It is not an email, not a text, there are no visible alerts of any kind on screen. Could it be a certain app? An inherent issue with iphone software? Its definitely an annoyance because it vibrates as well and will do it at any time of the day i.e. in the middle of the night. iphone OS 3.1.2

iPhones WiFi Connection Suddenly Stopped Working 3g

Woke up this morning and my iphone is failing to connect to my home WiFi network (Uverse through a 2WIRE 3800HGV-B router, WPA Personal security). My Macbook and my wifes iphone are still connecting without any problems, so I know the network is good. Ive tried reentering the password; rebooting the iphone; and turning WiFi off, forgetting the network and building the connection anew, but no dice. I also made sure the iPhones software was up to date (it was). Havent had a chance to try any other WiFi networks yet. Any ideas?Thanks,Nate iphone OS 3.1.2

Apple customer service iphone 3g

Im posting this so people know problems and issues get resolved many times and that hardware or software defects happen with the best companies. I bought a refurb iphone 3g in December 2008 and my warranty expired in August 2009 (90 days is the minimum on refurbs, but I would guess most have longer warranties). I started having problems a few days before the OS 3.1 release, and the problems had been sporadic on my iphone since that time. I had attempted all the usual fixes, and I had come to the conclusion my phone was defective, going into infinite reboot/shutdown, but out of warranty since August of last year. The only way to keep it from shutting down was to turn off autolock and passcode lock. However, the battery would drain in 5 or 6 hours sitting idle.It finally got the to point I couldnt use any of great features of the phone, and although I didnt want to pay for a new refurb, I figured that was my only option. I made an appointment to take it in today to an Apple store. They looked at it, saw there was no physical damage, typed some stuff in their database, and gave me a new phone built in the 51st week of 2009.Thanks Apple! iphone 3g iphone OS 3.1.2

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

Poor Orange signal iphone

I got my shiny new 3g 8Gb Orange phone on the 17 December on an upgrade from my HTC. We now have four Orange network phones in the family. The annoying thing is When my wifes Nokia gives 2 bars, my daughters phones an HTC touch diamond and Sony Ericsson both give 3 bars. My shiny new iphone gives No Service. Is any one else experiencing poor signal reception on Orange or even O2 it may be an iphone problem and not just specific to one network. Maybe Orange can up the gain in the phone by software, I shall have to ask them Dell XPS 430

Why doesnt iphone actually tell you when your SMS wasnt sent

I get spotty service at my house and 50% of the time my text messages dont send. But thankfully the iphone doesnt alert me when my messages dont send. So usually I end up waiting 10 minutes for a reply and I check and my message hasnt sent. VERY ANNOYING(to me at least). Is there anyway I can get my phone to tell me if a message was sent or not sent? Or can someone sent this up to the Tech Guys at apple so they can include this in their next software update?Thanks HP Pavillion DV5000

iphone 3g GPSWiFi hardware failing

Whether I get a GPS fix on my iphone 3g has been very hit and miss recently, increasingly more miss than hit. Even standing out in the open the phone only gives me network triangulation. In addition if I then travel 10 miles it still thinks I am at my starting location so it is not updating the triangulation. This lack of location update by triangulation suggests a software bug.Powering off the phone has no effect.The WiFi also seems to be failing. Whereas I could use it anywhere in my house, it keeps losing my home WiFi signal and even sitting 5m away I only get partial signal. I also can no longer see the numerous signals from my neighbours.Not sure if the failing of both systems is related. Do they both use the same antenna? Is this a hardware fault with the iphone slowly dying? Intel iMac, iMac G4, Powerbook G4, iphone 3g, Apple TV, 3g iPod, 2G Shuffle iphone OS 3.1.2

Extra memory 16G with over 20G stored on it iphone 3g

Does anyone know anything about the memory in an iphone? Mine is suppose to be a 16G. Over Christmas I purchased a few new apps and films from iTunes. So to make space I deleted all my old films. Also gained lots from Apples 12 days app so my memory was full again. After trying to transfer purchases and back up in iTunes, something happened but my purchasesdidnt transfer instead all the videos I had previously deleted from my phone were restored andI now have over 20G of stuff! How is this possible?! Are all iPhones 32 or 64G until they are given their software? This should be a great thing but now I still need to sync and when I do it will go back to being a 16G again. Has anyone else come across anything like this?Thanks Warne00 3g 16G 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

Error code 14 no troubleshooting works iphone 3g

Last night I updated my iphone 3g with the latest software, and when the phone began to reboot, it just turned off, then came back on in recovery mode. The screen shows the iTunes logo with a USB lead pointing toward it, and this is as far as I can get. When I plug it in to iTunes, it says its in recovery mode and needs to be restored. I press restore, and the usual boxes pop up, then the download/restore process starts, but fails when it is about 10% complete on the phone screen, says an unknown error (14) occurred. Is there any way to delete the software update and revert back to 3.0??Thanks. iphone 3g iphone OS 3.0.1

Build-in SMS function for iphone3GS

I have just started to use my iphone recently. I am a heavy sms user and I find that the current SMS/ Message function in my iphone 3GS is very unfriendly and make me feel very frustrating..the following issues I have encountered and hope some good experts out there could provide some good advices...really at fix...1. Sending SMS to Multiple receipents. I have to add the receipent one by one from the contact book to the SMS screen. This process is tedious and time consuming especially if I need to send out to 100 receipient at one go.2. Lost message. I have to be very careful in typing the message, once I touch the edit button or press the menu button, the message that I am typing will be lost and cannot be recovered. It is unlike some smart phone where this message is stored under the Draft.3. Stored folder. There is no stored folder for SMS. Sometime while I am keying a long SMS and I need to handle the phone or to work on other things, I could not save the SMS to elsewhere for future working.4. Replying via Chinese Character. It is another challenge if I need to reply the receipient by Chinese Character. In fact I do not know how I could do it.5. Small Display Screen. The display for the SMS that I am typing is too small. I would need to scroll back to see what I have type...iphone is a state of art technology and it meant good for business function..however with such a build in SMS software, it is really disappointing. Is there any software available in the market which I could purchase, download,etc to bridge this gap. Really need someone to advise me on this SMS concern. Thanks. Dell Windows XP

iphone 3g now super slow after 10 months or so usage

My 3g phone has been working fine for about 10 months, but within the last months or so it has gone into slow motion, and I do mean SLOW motion.Examples1. Sending a picture, click on the Email Photo button, it takes about 15 seconds just to bring up the Email with image, then when I try to type in To: address it stays on the first letter I type for about 35 seconds (letter enlarges but just stays there) - this used to be instantaneous.2. Messages, press the message icon and it takes a good 10-15 seconds before I see a list of people who Ive messaged (this used to be 1-2 seconds).3. Press on the iPod icon and again another 10-20 seconds before I see my playlists. Again, this used to take 1-2 seconds.Now my iphone never used to be like this, it was pretty fast for the first 10 months of usage. I havent loaded any new apps (in fact Im only at 2GB mem usage out of 8GB) and its upto date with latest firmware and software. Doesnt seem to matter if I use wireless or 3g connection, nor if I have it plugged in or not.Im about ready to toss this phone out the window and go with something other than an iphone. Is there any diagnostics I can run on my iphone to try to figure out why its gone into slow motion mode??Ive seen these types of problems happen with SSD drives where the MLC NAND flash starts to get flakey with no TRIM support (especially MLC) causing performance to radically drop off -- this is exactly what it feels like in my iphone. Considering my 3g iphone uses Samsungs 65nm 8GB MLC NAND flash which has been known to exhibit this problem over time, thats my guess as to why my iphone has started to slow down.I know several friends who are also running into identical slow down problems and theyre in the same boat, toss the iphone and go with a phone that uses better quality (real longer life) MLC or SLC NAND.I know Apple arent going to admit to anything unless enough people complain, so I was wondering how many other folks have run into this mysterious slow down problem after 10 months of iphone usage?Rob.

Memory and performance iphone 3g

I have an iphone 3g 16GB with the latest software update. Will the amount of free memory effect the overall performance of the phone and apps in general? Since Ive had it Ive always had at least 1GB of free memory and never had any problems. I just recently put some new music on it and am down to about 60MB free space. Does the OS utilize spare flash memory? Will I notice a decrease in performance? iphone 3g iphone OS 3.1.2 Windows XP

Text Message sound iphone

Has anyone experienced this before? When I normally send a text it makes that ZOOOOP sound. For some reason that sound would go in and out, then for the last couple of weeks it just stop making the sound all together. Yes the volume is up, the silent switch on the side is on, I restored it, restarted it, etc. You name it I probably done this to get the sound to work on my iphone 3gs. I went over these with Apple Care and they sent me a phone the next day. I unboxed my new phone, get everything hooked up and to my dismay this phone is not making the ZOOOOP sound either when I send texts. My Wifes iphone 3gs works fine and makes all the correct sounds. Im beginning to think its a software issue, but I really dont know too much about computers to make that diagnosis. If anybody can help or just plain old give advise that will be greatly appreciated, and btw HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you. Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.6.2)

iphone 2G-text capacity reached

I have a lot of text messages with one contact on my iphone (many hundreds) dating back to last year. However, it seems some of my first texts to this contact are now missing to make room for the new text messages coming through. These texts contain sentimental value so Im wondering if theres any way of retrieving these old text messages? Possibly by connecting it to iTunes or another software application? Thanks for any help.

Screen just went crazy iphone 3g

I was just surfing the web on my phone when the screen went nuts. All sorts of lines and colors just showed up on the screen. I restarted the phone and the same thing happened as soon as it restarted. I decided to restore the phone and as soon as I plugged it in the screen went back to normal. I synced and restored the phone. This phone is a replacement phone I purchased from Apple about 2 weeks ago after I dropped my other phone. This phone has not been dropped or damaged in any way. Does this sound like a software issue or a hardware issue? Are the replacement phones that one purchases from Apple for $200 refurbs or new phones?Thanks! MacBook Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Apple ID does not exist anymore?! iphone

I have tried to get updates for a couple of apps on iphone, only for it to tell me my password is incorrect. Entering the correct password 2-3 times sends you to a 'forgot password' page, but when I get there, it tells me that the 'Specified Apple ID does not exist.' Of course, it does, or at least has existed, and I've even had an email receipt from Apple dated 24/12/09 with my correct user name (that apparently no longer exists) in the corner. I've tried to access the store from iTunes on my laptop, but get exactly the same thing (wrong password then user name does not exist) & have no idea what's gone wrong. I do know there was an issue with AOL accounts some time back, so I changed it to my hotmail account & it has worked without problem up till now. I'm using the latest iTunes & iphone software updates. I've also done a full back up & restore...to no avail.

help with misbehaving iphone3g

Hi all, have my 3g v3.12 iphone for about a month now, and its playing up ;twice now its decided to totally stop recognising my home netgear router , first time i found a new update for the router software , now its not allowing me to connect with correct details even though its the right password and its stored in the memory of the iphone , or appears instantly, ticks its connected then wont allow connection ???i cant change the software of the router again, its gotta be iphone related surely ?secondly it keeps freezing at the apple logo, when i switch on / off then when it does come up it comes up with the connect to itunes screen for about 1 second then starts working? i have completely restarted the iphone through itunes the first time it did this , but its started again ?Also it does the thing where apps open then close immediately, which i seem to have resolved again by reloading an app once more .Anyways after reading the forums for ages does anyone have a definitive fix for these ? or is it go to apple ask for an exchange and start the whole process again ?Wish i had stuck with normal samsung or nokia handset now, this software seems so twitchy or unreliable Thanks James homebuild Windows 7

MMS not sending anymore iphone

Ive had this issue for awhile now maybe like 2/3 months where my mms msges dont send. Whenever i attempt to send a picture for example the progress bar gets stuck towards the end for a bit then a red exclamation mark is shown indicating that it did not send. Previously i had no issue sending mms msges, dont know what ive done that could have changed this. MMs is enabled in settings, ive tried restarting several times but nothing has worked. Just want to know whether there is anything i can do, at least on the software side before i consult my phone carrier Optus with a harsh email to their technical department! iMac 24-inch 2.66GHz Mac OS X (10.6.2)
