Update 3.1 Turned my iPhone into a Brick ...

I have the current Mac OS X 10.6 and iTunes 9.0, went to update my iPhone 3G to 3.1 and now my phone is useless. Tried all the tips on tech support with no luck. iPhone stays in recovery mode. I get error codes 2006, 1611, and 26 during different attempts to recover and restore.

Any suggestions?

NO RINGING ...

Hi
My iphone 3G is not ringing and I can not get it to ring again.
I've done everything short of a Restore. All the settings are
normal. I hadn't had any new software or even changed any
settings. Really the only thing out of my norm was turning off
the phone for few days and removing the sim so I can copy
my contact list off my old cell. That's the only thing I can think of.

Any input would be appreciated.

Removing all data ...

Hi, since downloading the latest Apple update, my phone has blanked out a couple of times, and it has never done that before with any other updates. I have 3G iphone.

If it happens again, I want to remove all data from the iphone and start again. I know this is possible through Settings, but I have a few queries please if anyone can help me.

1. Do I have to delete emails, sms, photos etc etc. before clearing all data.

2. When its brought back to factory restoration, I dont want to put the backup on it, because I'll be back where I started with the same problems re the new update, so, therefore, do I create a new account, and if so, do I need a credit card or can I use a voucher to open a new account.

"Can not write to drive" - repeated ...

Greetings,

I have an iPhone 3G, running, in the past, Vista and now Win7 RC. What happens is that whenever I go to synch, it gives me some error about not being able to write to the drive. The first time this happened, I took it to the local Apple store and they just reset it, and I was able to write everything back to the phone.... the next time I went to update/backup, I got the same error.

The phone otherwise works perfectly fine. Windows and iTunes recognize it. There is no malfunction, I can write things to the iphone drive... but iTunes won't update it with 3.1 or backup any data.

I suppose I could find some way to reset it, but I'd be in the same boat in a week. The drive obviously works. I've tried different cables and USB ports.

Thanks for any tips

Battery life Abysmal after upgrading to ...

So after upgrading to OS 3.1 I have noticed a DRAMATIC decrease in battery life. In the past I have been able to charge my iPhone overnight and then use it all day and have around 30-40% battery life left at the end of the day with average usage (texting, a few phone calls, some youtube videos and some games during boring classes). After the upgrade to 3.1 the battery will die in around 3-4 hours after a full charge without any use. I noticed it the first day when after the update and a complete charge I went to work, left the phone on standby in my locker and came back to find it completely dead after a 4 hour shift. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I have already deleted all the new apps I downloaded in the last week even before the update and I have done a full restore with no success.

Contacts not syncing after restore ...

I wiped my mac for Snow Leopard, and had it backed up with Time Capsule. I did not move the time capsule backup back on the mac b/c I didn't want most of the stuff on my mac anymore since it was likely slowing down my mac anyway.

I then got a new iphone 3G due to problems with the sleep/wake button and now I can't get my contacts to be synced...or for that matter--found anywhere. I have no numbers in my phone, and also, I don't have anyone in my mail (through gmail) to compose messages to.

Where can I locate the contacts from my time machine and how can I restore my phone to its formal glory?!

Unable to stream Audio since UG to 3.1 ...

Hi,
I have a Buffalo NAS and, prior to upgrading to iPhone 3.1, I was always able to stream Audio (MP3) to my iPhone using Safari. Since upgrading the iPhone's Quicktime tries to play the Audio files as a Video and fails. When I select the audio file in the browser, Quicktime starts and says "Loading Video". After 1 or 2 seconds it then says "This movie could not be played".
Why? It is a .mp3 file. Is there a config setting to change Quicktime's behavior?

trouble making calls after 3.1 update ...

Anyone else having trouble making phone calls after the 3.1 update? I keep trying to make a call and it says calling but nothing happens. The only way I can get a call to go through is to turn off phone and restart it. But even turning the phone off has become weird as half way through the shut down process it starts flashing the main screen with the clock and my background pic (not the home screen). Also after charging my battery it shows only half charged until I restart the phone. Once restarted everything seems to work fine... for awhile, then I'm back to the same issue.

If you use Sony accessories with iPhone ...

So I own two Sony items which are compatible with iPhone 3G.

One is a Sony CD Boombox with iPod dock (Sony ZS-S2IP) another is a Sony Alarm Clock with iPhone dock (sony ICF-ClipMK2). Both of these had worked with my iPhone 3G. When plugging the iPhone onto the dock it got the inevitable "this accessory is not made to work with iPhone..." warning message, but THEY DID WORK nonetheless. Remote control, charging ability, playing music over the speakers, they fully worked.

NOW, after (very stupidly) upgrading to 3.1 firmware - NEITHER WORK. No charging, nothing. I get the "no compatible message" but they don't work.

So be warned, do not upgrade to 3.1 if you own these devices and still want them to work with an iPhone 3G.

I looked on their comptuer and there is a folder under docs and settings\user\application data\apple computer\logs\crash reporter\mobile device. I tried to update itunes, but the quick time installaion was corrupted. After a few hours, i was finally able to get the old version of itunes and quicktime removed and itunes 9 installed.

When i go into itunes and devices, the list is no longer there showing backups. I checked the app data folder, and all of the devices are still there. How do i get the new install of itunes to recognise the backups/folders that the old version made? Or is there a way I can try to recover data from folder?

BT Audio from Memo app, but not iPod? ...

Hi,

I have an Audi A3 which is paired with my iPhone 3G (3.01).

Phone calls, address book etc all ok.

I want to be able to play my iPod music through the stereo over bluetooth but I do not get the option to route the audio through (there is only the "Speaker" button for the iPhones internal speaker, not the picture of a a speaker with the bluetooth logo).

I'm guessing you are going to say that the car does not support streaming audio, BUT - if I go into the Voice Memo's app I can playback my memos and I DO get the button to play through my car bluetooth. When I select the Audi Bluetooth system, my car stereo lights up with "Phone" and plays the memo throught the car stereo!

My question therefore is if I can play Voice Memo's, why cant I play music?

Completely unresponsive iPhone 3g, ...

So I have seen a lot of posts on people's 3g shutting down, but I have yet to find this exact behavior elsewhere although it happened to both my wife's and my iPhone.

I took my phone off the charging cradle (with full charge) last night, made a phone call, locked it and put it in my pocket. 10 min later, I was going to make another call and the phone was completely unresponsive. It would not even respond to a hard reset. I plugged it into my MacBookPro and the computer did not even recognize it and the phone would not charge, anything. I had a busy night so I set the phone aside and got back to it several hours later. When I did the phone was still unresponsive and it was warm as if it had been in heavy use. I then plugged it into the computer again and went to bed. Shortly after I woke up this morning (8 hours later) the phone turned on, completely dead and began charging. The phone now seems fine.

So if you have the behavior above, put it on the sync cradle and walk away for 12 hours or so and it might come back. This has happened once before to my wife's iPhone and as yet we have gotten no response from Apple as to what might be causing it. Right after my phone died I scheduled a call from Apple for this afternoon so if I get any solutions or information I'll post it here later today.

My Simple (but inelegant) solution to ...

Like many here the 3.1 update has been crashing my phone 7-10 times daily and I've read through most of the monster thread but nothing REALLY works. I think I may have one that does though.

I noticed that it has NEVER happened while I was doing something with the phone, it only crashes when it goes to sleep but putting it at constant "on" (no locking) ***** the batt dry fast AND makes for a lot of "accidental button presses".

So here's my solution: Have the ipod playing something ALL THE TIME. Turn the volume to zero if you don't really want to listen to it but keep it playing. Once its playing go to the home screen and use the phone as normal (You can lock it it will not crash). So far batt life obviously takes a hit (not as much as having the backlight on though) but I have had ZERO crashes so far! Once the music stopped playing by itself (probably a crash) BUT it didnt put the phone in a coma! I just pressed play again and it was fine.

This solution works for me, please tell me if it works for you too. Let's hope Apple fixes this soon though, this is just terrible!

iPhone 3G won't turn on... help? ...

My daughter's iPhone suddenly stopped working.

We thought the battery had died so we tried charging it over night. The next morning it was still dead. We tried a different charger thinking maybe the charger was bad, but still nothing. We tried plugging it into the computer, outlet, everything, and nothing works. We tried different cords, nothing.

The phone is completely black. If you connect it to the computer (or plug it into the wall) nothing happens. Nothing lights up or displays on the screen and neither the computer nor iTunes sees the phone. Hard reset does not work either. The phone was still under warranty, but it got a little bit of water on it a long time ago, and they will not warranty it. It has worked fine for months since it got a little water on it. Only one of the water sensors shows it got wet. It had been working fine until it suddenly just died.

To make matters worse, I updated the software on my iPhone and now it is useless. It is stuck in recovery mode and errors out every time I try to restore it. So now we have two iPhones that are permanently in paper weight mode. I bought my daughter a new cell phone (non-Apple) and ironically now it would be nice if I could get her old iPhone working to use as a backup while mine is dead.

Does anyone know anyway to fix this phone??? Or the other one...

Hello everyone, thanks for at least reading this post. I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out whats going on with my iPhone 3G. I bought mine from my brother for $100 after he bought his 3GS a few weeks ago. He sold it to me without the sim card, which I don't care about because I'm only planning on using it as an iPod Touch. Well about 3 days ago, I updated the iPhone to 3.1 so that I could download some of the newer apps. As soon as I finished updating the phone, the screen showed a data cable at the bottom of the screen leading to the iTunes logo (of course telling me to connect the phone to my itunes), and the phone became locked with a slider lock which only allowed me to slide in order to make an emergency call. There was also a message that said "please insert a valid sim without a pinlock" and I also received a message in my iTunes that says the iPhone couldnt be connected properly because of a password protection. Well like I said, I don't have a sim card, nor did the iPhone even prompt me with any sort of key pad in order to enter my passcode. So I took my brothers advice and tried to perform a quick system restore. Now the message about inserting a valid sim card is gone along with the slider, but now the screen is frozen with the picture of the data cable leading to the iTunes logo. I've been able to power the phone on and off multiple times, so I know its not completely frozen. I've been able to have the device recognized in my iTunes but only as "iPhone" instead of the usual "corey's ipod", and I have also been able to start restoring the device but shortly after starting the restore process, an error occurs usually #1604 or #2002 stating that the restore process could not be completed due to one of these mysterious errors.

Ive read a few different forums and tech sites, and alot of people have had similar problems, and I have tried to follow their instructions on how they fixed it, but nothing has worked at all.

its now almost a quarter past 4 a.m. and I have been trying to research this since 8p.m. trying to find a way to fix this and I've given up hope.
If you have any advice please respond ASAP. anything will be much appreciated!

Updated iPhone 3G to 3.1 without SIM ...

I recently posted a thread asking why my iPhone 3G is now frozen in DFU mode. I made a call to Apple customer service and it turns out that it is because I updated it without a SIM card. The customer service representative explained that I could either insert the original SIM card to possibly unlock the phone, or go to AT

3G stuck in recovery mode ...

During the firmware update to version 3.1 yesterday on my iPhone 3G, the update crashed, and ended up in recovery mode. I've tried Restore and Update multiple times, with no success. I've followed the suggestions of the support document, including removing the old ipsw files, after which iTunes downloads the latest version of the software once again, but still encounters an "unknown error." I've also completely uninstalled iTunes (along with the mobile support files per the support documents suggestions), reinstalled iTunes, and have encountered the same problem. I've gotten 3 error codes during this process consistently, and they are 1611, 2006, and 2009. Any suggestions as to how to proceed? I'd rather, if possible, fix this from home rather than taking a 2 hour trek to an Apple store. Does anyone have specific information as to what these individual error codes mean? Thanks in advance for your help.

iPhone 3G apps crash on startup and ...

I have found that when starting up some apps on my new iPhone (important: doesn't matter which apps) that they fail to start up and crash back to the iPhone 'desktop'. When this happens, try as I might, they almost ALL seem to do this, until finally the iPhone takes it upon itself to restart (which takes longer than a normal restart. However, after the restart, the apps work again! This sometimes happens after the iPhone has been 'asleep' for a while, but not always. It's as if just opening new apps is too much for it, or that other processes going on in the iPhone are crashing with the apps.
Anybody else having this?
(I have other issues with this new phone here in the UK - see my other posts).

Applications not shutting down when ...

I experienced not receiving phone calls, not able to make calls for the 2nd time...
I've noticed when using applications, email, iPod, browser, returning to where i left. The last email message I read 2 days ago is the first thing viewed when going to email. A shutdown and re-start cleared the phone problem. So I'm thinking
memory is being tied up.....

Anyone noticed this problem....yet?....

Unwanted screen rotation with 3.0 ...

Ever since installing 3.0 I've had the following problem with both mail and safari: the screen rotates into landscape view too easily (i.e. when I slightly move the phone), and then it's practically impossible to get the screen to rotate back. Anyone else having this issue?

trouble making calls after 3.1 update ...

Anyone else having trouble making phone calls after the 3.1 update? I keep trying to make a call and it says calling but nothing happens. The only way I can get a call to go through is to turn off phone and restart it. But even turning the phone off has become weird as half way through the shut down process it starts flashing the main screen with the clock and my background pic (not the home screen). Also after charging my battery it shows only half charged until I restart the phone. Once restarted everything seems to work fine... for awhile, then I'm back to the same issue.

Apple Update - USB Controllers - My ...

The other day I installed 3.1. The following day I hooked up my phone to my PC via the USB, like I always have and it wouldnt read my phone - Nothing - I plugged it into a different PC and it did fine. I then plugged in other devices to the USSB ports and they worked fine.

I then proceeded to do a system restore (for my whole PC) and picked a point before the 3.1 update. After all was finished, I hooked up iPhone and it was fine. I then uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes (an earlier version). Hooked up phone and it was fine. iTunes wanted to update but I did not do it. I come in today and same problem. My USB will not pick up my iPhone. I am going to do another system restore.

When I picked a point of restore I noticed on the 16th I had to installs:

Install: Device Driver Package and Install: Apple Inc., USB Controllers.

I am assuming this is what is messing things up for me but now I am clueless on where to go from here - I can not system restore my computer daily.

This is crazy. Is there someone at Apple that can be notified about this issue.

I am sorry but this is so crazy - i see all the problems people have after updates and wonder *** are they doing?
