Unlock your iphone

Hey I had same problem. Just hold the off button by the middle button under the screen and connect the phone to the computer while holding the buttons. Open the itune and you need reinstall the software. If that does not work, just google it. "How to reset iphone to factory condition" and so forth. Good luck.

WiFi wont connect to network iphone 3G

Hey GuysIm having real trouble with WiFi. My iphone wont connect to ANY network, regardless of the networks security. It sees the networks just fine, and for the protected ones it asks for login details, but Unable to join network xxxx is all I ever get.Ive restored the phone twice, update firmware, reset network settings, hard reset/restore mode, messed around on my home network adding MAC addresses etc.. No go. The networks I have tried to access have all been very easily accessible by my friends iphone.The iphone is second hand so I dont know if its ever been able to connect to WiFi, but it certainly hasnt been able to while Ive had it.Actually, these is one exception. The only network Ive been able to connect to is through my MacBook. I think its whats called an ad hoc network, and its set up simply by selecting Create Network under the Airport icon, and hitting OK. Any advice would be most appreciated. Cheers! iphone 3G iphone OS 3.1.3 MB489X

iphone 3GS will not make or receive calls.

Over the past week my iphone (which has worked perfectly for 6 months) had stopped making or receiving calls. My phone will work one minute then 24 hours later, i get 15 voicemails and text messages at 1 time from people that i have been trying to call me. Its as if i have no reception,then it will kick back in all of a sudden. The same goes when i try to make calls. I try to dial and it either freezes or just says cant connect and returns to home screen. Its getting worse as the days go on. Ive restored network setting, updated it on iTunes but it sometimes works, sometimes doesnt. LGP1 Windows XP

iphone 3G hangs and reboots when connected with USB

Hi,Im having problems with my iphone 3G (it has the last firmware and has never been jailbroken) when trying to sync/charge with the USB cable connected to any PC.. Ive started having problems two days ago (I did not do any particular activity apart from updating 14 apps from iTunes): I connect the phone to my pc, it starts syncing and after few seconds (sometimes 1-2 minutes) the circle with bars appears in the middle of the screen; then, after a while it reboots and the apple logo appears (I usually reboot it with sleep+home because after 20 minutes it is still there).. Ive lost my backups and Im not able to complete the iphone backup, so I dont know how I should proceed now... Maybe I could try to reinstall the firmware, even if Ill loose everything, but is it possible to do that without an active internet connection? I have downloaded the file with the last firmware, how can I reinstall it from iTunes when Im not connected to Internet?Thank you in advance for any help! Santech X3620 Windows Vista

WiFi not connecting anymore iphone 3G

I have the 3g with the lastest firmware. About 2 weeks ago i noticed that i was not connecting to my home network automaticly. I then tried to connect manually and it asked for my password. I entered the password and then it says it i was not able to join the network. I have done this several times with no success. The password is right as I have my laptops connected to the same network and they are fine. I have called AT$T and Apple with no success. I have reset the Network settings and still no luck.Anyone else had this problem and if so is there a solution to this problem?Thanks,Billy PC

iphone frozenno brightnesswhite screen 3G

So yesterday it start with my iphone telling me that I needed to connect to iTunes and restore because I couldnt make or receive calls. I reset it, and seemed OK. I later tried to play doodle jump, which crashed upon opening, so I reinstalled it to no avail. I discovered this morning that wasnt just doodle jump, but all 3rd party apps. It also went through stages of not turning on, telling me to restore it, and still having an image on the screen but there was absolutely no brightness to it, and instead of the screen going black when I press the sleep button on top, I would get a bright white screen. Giving up on resets, I came home from school and restored it, and it worked perfectly. Now its 5.5 hours later and it just froze, unfroze, and had no brightness. I reset it, and now it wont turn on.Any suggestions? Thanks White Macbook 1.83 ghz, 2gb, iphone 3G 16GB iphone OS 3.1.3

iphone 3G and Car Stereo-Behavior

I have a Bluetooth adapter for my Alpine care stereo. I also have a dock type connector. When I connect the iphone 3G to the dock connector as the car turns on the head unit picks up the iphone and correctly searches it and starts playing music. after a little bit the bluetooth connects to the stereo and the iphone decides it wants to play the music via bluetooth streaming. This is rather annoying. I have to unplug and replug in the connector or go into the iPod application to select the dock connector as the correct audio source.Is there a way to set a priority in which connection to use? Everything else seems to work fine, but this issue is rather annoying. iphone 3G iphone OS 3.1.3

Bezel and screen coming off at top right corner of iphone 3G

Hello, recently my iphone has been falling apart! There are about 30-50 dust pieces underneath my iphone screen. Not only that but I am more worried that the bezel and and screen are starting to some off the iphone itself! Eventually a crack from the dock port up to the symbols and logos appeared cracking the plastic without any accidental damage, just appeared one day. So far it has been just been 9 months since Ive gotten it. Is it possible for me to go to an Apple Retail Store and ask for a swap? When I first bought the device wireless Wave told me if any damage or defect came up theyd replace it with a 3G S from an apple retailer store. I am only curious thought if the dust, bezel, and crack count. Thanks in advance! iphone 3G 8GB 3.1.3 iphone OS 3.1.3 Macbook Aluminum 13.3"

iphone 3G stuck at Apple screen of death

Hey Forum!The other day I dropped my iphone 3G from say just above a meter into the floor. The iphone went completely black and I couldnt start it anymore. When all my hope was lost I tried to plug it into the charger, and the little white apple on the black screen appeared. I thought that the problem was solved and everything, but there was one catch... the phone never went to the actual phone-up-and-running step. So, Ive tried a couple of things, restoring it and putting it in DFU mode, but with no further success. One thing on the other hand is that I manage to get the connect to iTunes sign on the phone, but Im not sure that helps. Worth noticing is that when i unplug the iphone from the charger it goes black again.So if anyone have any idea how i should proceed I would be overwhelmed with happiness Thanks,Axel iphone 3G 16GB iphone OS 3.1.2 Macbook Pro 13" 2.53GHz 4GB RAM

Could Not connect to Cellular Data Network iphone 3G

This is an error I get every time I try to access the internet from my iphone 3G. The only time this error sign does not appear is when Im in a WiFi zone and connected to it but apart from that 3G connection and Edge does not work. That doesnt mean I cant connect to 3G, I can, its just that no internet pages or any app that needs updating like facebook wont work.This all started when I updated my iphone on my college computer and since then it hasnt worked. A piece of information that might help you help me is that I had no signal on my phone when I updated, whether that is relavent or not I dont know.

iphone stuck on white Apple boot screen cannot recover even in DFU mode. 3G

Basically, the phone was on charge all day via USB on my laptop, locked the screen and then when I got back from work it was powered off and couldnt switch it on. So, I performed a reset and the phone now only boots to the white apple and no further. I can only get it to do this whilst plugged into the mains charger, not on battery OR via USB to my laptop. I have tried leaving on charge overnight, 3 different laptops and finally an XP PC, all dont seem to power the phone on, only when I plug into the wall.Ive tried a recovery, but the problem is I can only get the phone into recovery mode whilst plugged into the wall i.e. I get the connect to itunes graphic up but as soon as I unplug the USB and connect to the PC, the screen goes blank or at least dims anyway as I can still see the graphic, just greyed out. I then have to reset the phone again (connected to power).So, tried DFU mode, iTunes detects it (hooray I thought), downloads the 3.1.3 firmware, jumps to preparing iphone for recovery and then sits there as the phone then becomes disconnected from the PC i.e. USB disconnect sound is heard. I then get a 1601 error (I have the iphone updater log if you want it) and am back to square one. Like Ive said, Ive tried 3 different laptops and a PC, from Windows 7 to XP, 3 different cables and 2 different chargers and it does the same thing on all of them. I have thought of trying to find a USB dock with a seperate power supply but now sure if they exist of if this will help.Determined to fix this as I think the phone is great, if only Apple can sort out the battery life issues!Hope someone can help.

Constantly losing WiFi signal. iphone 3G

I have this strange, annoying problem on my iphone 3G (version 3.1.3). Whenever I connect to my WiFi network, Ill get the expected 3-bar signal. However, my iphone will often lose the signal, forcing my iPod to switch to either 3G, or EDGE. Strangely enough, my iPod will eventually establish a connection with my home network again, but then drop anyways. Location is not an issue. My router has a range of 60 feet, and I am nowhere close to even 30 feet away from my router. In fact, Ill be right beside my router to use my iphone, only for the signal to drop to 2 bars, or none.Im sure a lot of people have been experiencing this error. Is there any fix to this? Thanks! iphone OS 3.1.3 I bought it during the first few weeks of October 2009.

att being overbearing with my phone functions iphone

Unfortunately my service was suspended recently for payment issues. It was off for a week, and during that time I noticed something peculiar, along with after restoring service today. I understand the phone and 3g functions not working, but i noticed my wi-fi was greyed out when I tried to use it at a hot spot during the suspension in service. I googled the issue and found a known problem with that and figured I would wait until I got it back on to deal with it, as I rarely use the wi-fi anyway.Once service was restored, the wi-fi was no longer greyed out (literally less than a minute after the at&t rep restored service) BUT my calander and mail syncs no longer would connect, as if the network settings had been disabled/reset!An hour later, still no luck. Soooo I am now going to have to manually reset all of this. Did AT&T disable these functions to prevent me from using my phone in any capacity over wi-fi while my 3g service was suspended? I understand I didnt pay my bill, but wow, thats some gonads they have if so! iphone OS 3.1.3

OS change iphone 3G

I am not an iphone user so I do not know much about them, but I have worked in wireless for 10 years so I am savvy when it comes to wireless technology. A friend purchased a iphone online and he wanted help syncing it to iTunes. I installed the latest version of iTunes and when I hooked the iphone up via USB it loaded Windows Mobile 6.1 onto the device replacing the iphone OS?!? This is baffling and I dont know how or why it happened, but I do know that I am unaware of how to fix it. Now that it has Windows Mobile on it iTunes wont recognize it. When I try and reset the device holding down the sleep and home it does show the apple icon, but then it still continues to load Windows Mobile 6.1. If any one has any suggestions of how to reload the original OS or how to get iTunes to recognize a iphone running Windows Mobile, help would be greatly appreciated!

Dropped calls can not find server wont connect to email iphone 3G

This is my 3rd iphone, and honestly i swore by it when i first got it. Now after all the trouble i dont even know if it worth the trouble anymore. I have spent hours on the phone with At&T and they can not fix it. I have spent hours on the phone with apple and they cant fix it. Considering they just sent me one in the mail, he was hesitant to send me a new one, plus i could not afford another 400.00 hold on my credit card. The gentleman who assisted me assured me that my phone is not working correctly because my itunes is outdated. I tried to install the new version but it stalls and gets stuck at 75% of the way. And if i have had this version and the phone has worked why all of a sudden does the phone not work. Plus as if all this was not enough the new phone still drops calls. What the bleep man!! i payed a lot of money for this phone and i pay a lot of money a month for it. This is really aggravating that it still does not work. pc Windows XP

Hey everyone...Im sure this question has probably been posted 100 times, but Im new, and this is the first i product Ive ever owned....anyways, a friend of mine knew I was about to purchase an iPod touch, but he had an iphone 3G that hes no longer using, so he gave it to me and said it would work just like the Touch.

When I do, the phone says its syncing, but it only does so for a minute or so, and then there is no content in the iTunes...?? Can anyone help m with this? Thanks so much!! Windows XP
