IPhone :: 3GS Intermittently Drops 3G And Displays SOS Only
Apr 20, 2012
iPhone 3GS intermittently drops 3G and displays SOS Only. A reset fixes it for a short while before it fails again. I have been having this problem for a while, and have tried many resets and restore, clearing the phone, using the phone as a 'new' iphone with no apps or user data, and it always fails the same way. Other phones in the area on the same carrier display full signal strength when this happens. Following a reset, the phone always works correctly for a period (of between 1 minute and 1 day), then fails again. I suspect I have a hardware fault.

Recently I've noticed I'll be in the middle of the call with the in call volume on max (which is very much needed on this phone...I don't have hearing problems ). Then every now and then the volume drops to 1/3 of maximum and I have to hold the volume up to bring it back to max.
(I've only seen references to ringing volume changing erratically, not in call volume) . My phone is rooted, but with stock ROM.

My iPhone 4 developed a problem where it shuts itself off intermittently, sometimes at night when it is unattended (and yes, the battery was fully charged). It is my 2nd iPhone 4 with this problem, and from what I see on this forum, not an uncommon problem with this device. Apparently it is a known hardware issue with some iPhone's and the refurbished units they use as replacement devices have not been expunged of this circuit board demon.
Rather than swap out my phone for a new one (or even another refurb), I was given the possible explanations:An application is crashing the OS. (I interpret this statement as IOS 5 is no further evolved than Windows 3.1 where an app can crash the entire OS)An application may be using too much memory causing the phone to shut down (Really? No OS protection or throttling to prevent this?)A 3rd party application might have had a bad update in the App Store and Apple does not review updates (Really? So if I publish an app in the store, I can then update it with miscellaneous viruses and malware? Whoo Hoo)It could be usage (Translation: using an iPhone 4 to play music, run apps and make phone calls may cause the device to fail. Sounds like a breach of Warranty for Fitness of Intended Purpose) I am not an Apple hater. I just want my phone replaced with a non-defective device. I don't appreciate the total run-around and denial of responsibility on Apple's part.

The screen on my brand new iPhone 5S 32GB keeps blacking out intermittently. This sometimes happens I turn the phone from portrait to landscape, or sometimes when the keyboard is open and I try to type the letter ‘a’. Each blackout lasts less than a second and everything else appears to function normally, but it is impossible to use the keyboard in landscape mode sometimes as certain key presses black the screen out.Â

My iPhone 5s started to only ring intermittently after I took the latest iOS update awhile back. Same thing with texts, too. I have tried completely wiping the phone and then reload it via iCloud, but it just keeps doing the same thing.

Just upgraded my IPhone 4 to IOS 5.1. Since then, the home button sometimes does not work. Since I've never had a problem with my phone, and no new apps were added, it looks like a software glitch to me.

Since I do a lot of driving, I tend to tap the speakerphone button and voice my text message instead of taking my eyes off the road so I can type but here lately my phone cannot understand what I am saying or completely types out something I didn't even say! What is up with this? I do make sure I speak slow and clearly and it will still mess up!

I have an iPhone 4s and never had any problems but last night my iPhone stopped receiving text messages (from other iPhone users and other phone types). I messed around with my settings and my text messages started appearing again (although I can't remember what I pressed now)! I got a few people to send test text messages and I received these but again this evening I've stopped receiving text messages again.

I have an iPhone 3gs 16gig and the I broke the screen, the digitizer worked for a while so I just kept using it with the cracks on it. after the digitizer stopped working I did a full backup and went in to a local shop and had the screen and digitizer replaced. I then came home and did a restore and that gave me ios5.1. The phone worked great for a day then the touch screen started to stop working after about 10-30 seconds of use. I cant do anything with the phone without having to lock the screen and unlock it (sometimes that works, and sometimes I have to do that a few times because the touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone) to continue using my phone.I am thinking it is because I upgraded to ios5.1, or is it a bad digitizer?

I purchased an iphone over kijiji locked to rogers and jailbroken to 3.1.2. During my days of owning it i found that the signal would drop randomly to 0 bars and proceed to "searching" to look for a network.. Ive looked this issue up plentiful over these forums and found that blacksnow seemed to be the culprit. After going through cydia i found that blacksnow was installed so i uninstalled it. I thought the problem was solved but a couple of minutes later after using apps that use 3g the connection dropped again. I dont know how this phone was jailbroken. its the 3gs with the old bootrom. ive never had this issue with my 3g phone. I restored again using redsnow and still same problems.

I recently became the owner of an e71 and although every phone I have ever had has been a Nokia, I am having massive problems getting this one to do what I want it to!I am hoping that you may be able to help me out with the following questions:
EMAIL
I set up my hotmail on the phone and it was working fine. I then deleted that account but on the home screen am left with the subject line of the last message, but cannot get rid of it, or open it. When I select it, I simply go to the email options screen with sync, settings etc.How do I get rid of this and start again?Also, is it possible to set the phone up so that hotmail only displays on the 'personal mode' and that my work email only displays on the 'work mode'? If so, how do I go about it?
My work email (IMAP) I got all the settings and details from the IT department, and whatever I (or they) tried to do, simply wouldn't allow me to connect to my account and receive messages. Has anyone else had this? Is there some trick that I haven't been using?
SMS/TEXT MESSAGING
How do I get smilies back on the phone!?How do I make it so that sent messages are not saved? I have selected this option, but each time it seems to revert to automatically saving them, which I don't want.
GENERAL
How can I get it so that photos linked to contacts display on the whole screen when they phone me, rather than a tiny square that I can barely see?

I've been using Pandora/Last.fm on my iPhone 4 so much that I've been completely ignoring my iPod touch. Well today I went to use my touch and when I unlocked it I was a little shocked as to how pixelated everything looked! I guess the iPhone 4's display has spoiled me.

I have a security camera system (SerVision MVG400) that sends an email alert when a camera is triggered. The email contains a jpeg image of the event that triggered the camera. When I view the emails from this system on the iPhone 4, the image displayed is the same in every message. If I reboot the phone and open a different message, now that's the image displayed in every message from the security system. If I forward one of the messages that's displaying incorrectly on the phone to another machine, it contains the correct image. The images are all named "image001.jpeg" and they are all the same size (9KB). The only thing that differs from one message to another is the timestamp in the subject line and message body, and the image contents.

Having an issue with the calendar on my iPhone 4S. Events display one day late in list view, but display properly in month view. For instance, an event I just created for tomorrow, Thursday April 5th, will display under Friday April 6th in the list view, but display properly in day and month views. Also some events are simply not shown. For instance, for a three day consecutive event, the first two events are shifted forward a day and the third drops out of view. All events are synced and display properly on my iPad, however.

The screen displays an outlined box around each item I touch, I have to press down on a number and tap it several times for it to work, and I am not able to scroll. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I tried turning the phone off, however, that didn't help. I took off the screen protector and cleaned the screen to no avail.

My iPhone 5 battery will charge up to 84% without an issue.
After 84% it keeps showing messages about the accessory not being supported.
I have used official charges, Belkin chargers and a USB from my PC/Laptop all eventually show the error message.Â
After I unplug and reconnect the lightening cable the phone continues to charge but the message will reappear every so often and I have to repeat the process.
Not good over night and then when you wake in the morning the phone is already down to 50%.Â
I feel that this is a failing battery but not sure if its covered by Apple in any way.

Using the standard iPhone Mail program, most of my email messages are being rendered at half the width of the screen rather than filling the entire width. It does not appear to matter where the messages are coming from or what they contain. As you can see in the screenshot below, it looks like the mail program is getting confused about the width of the screen and wrapping text at what looks like exactly 50% width. The message header and title are OK.Â
