IPhone :: Upgrading To IOS 5.1 On 3GS Taking Ages?
Apr 7, 2012
I decided to try to unlock my iPhone 3gs (was on Orange UK - moving to a monthly contract on 3) and so connected it to my PC (running Windows 7) - this is the first time I've ever connected it to this PC and the first time in probably 18 months that I've hooked it up to itunes on a PC at all (everything I've bought has just been via the phone). I started by backing up - that took a *very* long time (at least 12 hours, but I had to leave it all day and overnight so I can't be certain of the time). Then I unlocked the phone, as per instructions from Orange - that seems to have worked fine. Now, after prompting from itunes, I'm attempting an upgrade to iOS 5.1 (I think I was on iOS 4) - this is after transferring all my paid content to itunes. It says that it's backing up - it's been going for about 2 hours now, and it's about 5% of the way through, judging by the progress bar. Is this really going to take me as long as it looks like? Why do I need another backup if I've just carried one out? Can I cancel this (by clicking 'Stop') without bricking my phone?

Running 5.0.0.344 and I haven't found many glitches or faults in it if any. The only thing that hampers productivity is that my wi-fi takes about 2-3 minutes each time to connect regardless how close I am to the router. With the 8900, it would be literally 5 seconds for the wifi button to light up and be connected. Anyone can shed some light on this?

My brand new S6 has difficulties to show its partition on Windows 8.1 explorer, I can see the S6 icon but if I click on it it says ''this folder is empty''. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes for the driver to appear! I uninstalled all HTC sync and drivers as well as changed USB port but still same problem

I am having difficulties loading a page after I upgraded my 8520 to a OS 5. I am not sure whether this problem due to the upgrading new software or my carrier is getting slower everyday. It took me a minute just to open a 10kb page.

when trying to open the gallery to view pictures, sometimes it just wont load. Closing it and reopening it several times sometimes does the trick, but sometimes it has to be left for a while. I find this very annoying for such a lightening fast and smooth operating phone. My SGS 1 didnt have this problem.

Is it just me or does "GPS icon" take ages to disappear on exiting OVI Maps since updating phone firmware?
Happy to have helped the forum in a small way from 2007-10

I got this Nokia 500XM phone and when I want to change the ringtone in the profiles it takes ages and just has the scroling bar with opening at the top. I have found a cumbersome work around and that is to take out the memory card but then that just mean I have to stick with the pre-installed ones or copy the selected mp3 file to the phone memory. Is there any way to cut down this wait when I have the memory card inserted? - I wonder if I have added all my mp3 songs to the right folder on the memory card I think I put them in the Music (E: 8gb memory) folder on the memory card I wonder if this is whats causing the problem should they be in another folder? its an 8gb card with 3404mb (3.4gb) and 325 songs or more.

This changed recently, can't remember when exactly. last 2-3 months?
Before that, the recording was sent immediately. a few seconds. Now it takes at least 10 minutes until it arrives!! This happens only in the voice recorder app.

I have a Iphone 3g that is unlocked and jailbroken running 3.0.1. For some reason once or twice a month my phone will say it has signal but nothing can be done on the phone that has to do with the mobile network. This is why I feel as if i should upgrade. Hopefully it will solve this issue, because getting signal to come back takes, a couple hard restarts and usually syncing with my mac.
I have watched some videos online that say that i can go into cydia and download blackra1n install the source and it will unlock it but i'm pretty sure that is after you update the OS to 3.1.2. Can someone shine some light on this for me?

I have been using a 3GS iOS 5.1 backed up to iTunes. (some data also on iCloud)I bought a brand new 4S and it was all going so well until .. "The backup cannot be restored to this [iOS device] because the software on the [iOS device] is too old."
[URL]
Looks like the iPhone was shipped with iOS 5.0 after 5.1 was available. Irritating. Really irritating.So I set the 4S up as new phone, updated to iOS 5.0 and now have a shiny new 4S iOS 5.1with no data that is merrily syncing an empty phone with iTunes and iCloud and I still have a beaten up 3GS iOS 5.1 with all my info on it.I have a backup of the old phone but I don't know how to get that onto the new phone. I've tried iTunes/summary/restore which sets of an 803MB download - that's still going but I'm thinking I may have the same problem again.

I have an iPhone 4 running 4.2.1. I would like to upgrade to iOS 5 but don't have access to a computer. I read something about FOTA. Does that mean I can upgrade to iOS 5 without a computer?

I just upgraded phones from a 3GS to a 4S on AT&T. I was using the 4S for a day before I backed up everything from my old phone to the new one. On the new phone BEFORE the backup I could use visual voicemail and siri understood me.
Now after I have backed up everything from my oldphone to the new one, visual voicemail is gone (and it's asking for a password to check voicemail, I don't know I had a password), and Siri doesn't understand the same things.

I am having a problems with my iPhone 3GS, its slow unresponsive and the some of pixels on the screen, seem to have burnt out! No doubt they will have to give me a replacement, is there any chance that they will replace it for the 4? Rather than giving me another 3GS?

I have an iphone 4 and made un upgrade to ios 5.1 yesterday, and so far that was a big mistake. My phone started to overheat terribly - when I am using or charging it, and also the battery drains way too fast and it takes ages to charge it. I have tried restoring and hard reset, but nothing changes. I have searched the forum, but most people are having problems with battery drain, not the overheating.. I don't know what could be the cause of that and what do I do to get my normal phone back!

I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS 5. Now I am having trouble activating it as it's telling me that the SIM card is not supported and won't proceed with the activation process. I also tried connecting it to iTunes but got the same error message.
1. How can I restore it to its previous IOS so I can use it again? or
2. What should I do to complete the activation so I can begin using it with the new IOS?

I recently got my sister's 'old' iPhone 3GS after she upgraded to an iPhone 4. What I'd like to know is, can an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.2.1 be upgraded to iOS 5.0? If so, how do I do this (step-by-step) without losing any of the apps she had installed on the phone <note: the iTunes on my iMac's not allowing me to transfer her apps (things she purchased) because she purchased them - I don't really want to lose them, but if I can't avoid it, then, I'll just deal with it>
On the same note, I have a friend with an iPhone 3G; he claims he used to have a 4G card in it, but inadvertently locked himself out of the PUC card and forgot the password. is his phone upgradeable from iOS 3.x.x to iOS 5.0?

We started upgrading this morning and 3+ hours later it hasn't move. The iphone is on the apple icon with a sliver of the progress bar filled and it's not moving. Itunes is frozen on the Updating iPhone Software, again with only a sliver of the progress bar moving
First, what can we do to get it moving?
Second, we are actually going away for the weekend and not sure what we can do. Can we disconnect the phone and just restore it?.

Since upgrading to iOS 5.1 today, at least one of my notes on my iPhone is gone. Is it on iCloud? Or how will I get them back?
