IPhone :: Displays "Restore Needed" But Won't Stay Up Long Enough To Connect?
Jun 23, 2012
My 2 year old iphone 4 was around 38% battery when I closed my eyes. (TV nap)
When I opened my eyes, the apple logo was showing. It repeatedly reboots. If I use a wall power adapter I can get logged in and look around for maybe a minute before it crashes and starts over.
While it is up, no phone service is available. The PHONE icon has a huge red dot on it. Online support database suggests charging it. But the battery shows as 100%, plugged in. If I remove the power cable, it immediately dies and is non-responsive.

I recently had a repair done to my iphone. Afterword, I was told that I had to restore the os. I downloaded and installed the latest version (3.1.3) through itunes.
When it attempted to activate the phone I got an error message saying the phone either had no sim or the sim was locked and instructing me to disconnect the phone and unlock the sim.
My sim does have a pin, but the phone itself won't allow me to unlock it. It says 'restore needed' and directs me to itunes.
It seems like a catch 22 - can't activate without unlocking the pin, can't unlock the pin without activating. As it is, I can't use the phone at all.

Whenever I lock the screen, and then get a text message, the screen will stay lit for a really long time. Like longer than it used to. I usually have to end up pressing the lock button to make it go off, but not until it I realize that it's been lit for a long time.

When you double tap the home screen and you see your recent contacts, how long are they recent? 1 hour ago, 1 day ago, etc, and if you have 3 people in your recent contacts , are they in order of most recent to last?

So suddenly my iphone told me it could not emit or receive calls and that I needed to restore the phone; this I attempted to do, following the apple site's instructions - recharge for at least half an hour then hold down (various) buttons to get the broken apple image; so far, so good. However, nothing ever progressed beyond this point and now three days on, I am nable to elicit even the apple sign from the phone.

I am restoring my new I phone 4S to the back up of my old phone and have a message on the phone screen saying "Restore in Progress" nothing else seems to be happening and it has been like this for over an hour. There are only about a dozen apps, 50 or so photos and messages and a few notes.

After upgrading to ios5.1 my phone takes a very long time trying to connect to my email servers, check for new mail, and to update email status. After deleting emails, the Mailboxes window often takes a very long time updating status to reflect the emails as read.
This process used take no time at all, but now simply connecting to the servers after selecting the Mail icon can take 30+ seconds. Also, when it indicates the email boxes as updated, the spinning clock icon at the top status bar is still going.

My wife has a bb 9300 3g on os6 and everything has been fine.However somehow she has screwed up the wi-fi settings.The phone will not connect to our home router and displays the rror message " failed to obtain an IP address".I hve tried everything on the phone from
- Removing the wi-fi setting and reentering them.
- Entering the details manually
- Removing the battery and rebooting the phone
- Reinstally the os over the computer
Nothing seems to work. I know the router is fine as I have the same phone and it connects ok along with several other devices.Has anyone any suggestions before I reset the phone to factory setting?

So we're all probably pretty much busy with updating our Lumia Handsets with the Cyan update.I rolled back my DP to 8.0 and updated just fine, however after resetting the phone and setting it up by telling it to restore it from the backup, it gets stuck around at 25% and fails to move ahead.
I keep getting a message after a while saying that the restore process is taking unusually long and if I'd like to skip restoring instead. After waiting for approx. 30 mins once, and then doing it again and waiting for almost an hour, I've now initiated a reset on the phone a third time.
Having issues restoring from their backup? (Note: I moved to 8.0 from DP last week and then updated to 8.1 DP again and did a restore then and it had worked perfectly at the time without issues.

Since the intial update (5.5.893) I have had this problem.When I turn on wifi, it takes about 30 seconds for my phone to connect.This happens whether I am at home, at work, or over a friends house.Here is what happens.I turn on wifi with my widget.? Wifi networks available immediately comes up, then goes away and the question mark over the wifi signal remains (on the left of the status bar).About 90 seconds later, I am connected to wifi.If I go to WiFi settings during this time, It does not list any WiFI networks. Then (after the previously mentioned 90 seconds) the wifi network appears, finds the IP address, and connects

I dropped my phone and the touch screen has stopped working, it's not cracked at all simply doesn't respond to my touch. It has been suggested that restoring to factory settings may fix the problem though when I go to connect to iTunes it's not connecting to my phone as I need to enter the password. I have tried turning the phone off but this will just restart when it's connected to the computer.
