I recently bought an iphone 3g 16gb from a woman on craigslist for $125. The only problem was that the screen did not show anything after she dropped it. It still rang when called, made sounds, etc. I tested all of this. When I looked at the screen in the sun I saw distorted lines and boxes, so I figured it's just a quick LCD swap and everything will be ok. I was wrong.
My friend, who has his own 3g 16gb, offered to let me try his LCD just to make sure it worked. After I swapped LCD's and tried to turn it on, nothing. Then when my friend put his LCD back into his iPhone, his LCD didn't work!! ***?? Can anyone explain to me what could be the problem? And no, it's not that we hooked it up wrong. That's a noob mistake and I quadruple checked. Please help

Can my friend use my old IPhone 3G in ...
Hello, I purchased the 3G last year and upgraded to the 3G S in July. I don't know what to do with my old phone. I have a friend who is now living in Liberia and travels back/forth to the US about 3-4 times per year. She told me that the phone has to be GSM-Broadband in order for her to use it. I called Apple, they told me that the 3G was GSM but didn't say anything about it being broadband.
I don't know what network she is on but I am sure that it's not AT

iPhone Display turning itself on and off ...
Hey Guys,
I'm totally in love with my iPhone 3G but since I got it replaced by Apple (warranty), I discovered that in sleep mode the display randomly turns itself on and off again.
"On" in this case does not mean displaying any content nor the lockscreen, but mysterious black stripes that run vertical.
This occurs every few minutes and is really annoying me.
I tried to completely erase all content and set it up as a new iPhone but the stripes are still there (on 3.1.2) as they were on 3.1.0.
Is there any solution for this or do I have to call Apple Support again?
Greets,
Stefan

such apps exist for blackberry, windows mobile, and every other smartphone, but i can't seem to find one for the iPhone. surely i'm just missing something? this must be a really common requirement (why would you need the forward-calls function that all phones come with if you didn't also need the texts forwarded?)

3G Problem - Not connecting ...
Hi,
I have an iPhone 3G and for the past year I have had a problem with it. After an unknown amount of time, the iPhone will refuse to send/recieve any data over 3G. The 3G symbol is still there, and I know I am in a 3G spot. Turning the iPhone off and back on solves this and I can use the internet/check emails etc. again.
Any ideas how I can fix this?

iPhone sync/restore/backup after hdd ...
Hi all,
My hdd crashed recently and windows was unrecoverable, i have however managed to retrieve most of my application data and phone back ups using a file recovery program, as windows repair fantastically deleted everything.
After the repair, itunes does not seem to be installed. If i reinstall iTunes, will i be able to re-sync/restore using the backups i retrieved? Will i have to re-authorize itunes before i resync? Or is there anyway to reinstall it and copy the retrieved files over the new installation?
The last thing i want to do is wipe all my texts/contacts/photos/apps and start from scratch next time i backup.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks.

Why dont apple unlock 2nd hand Iphones ...
I find it completely shocking that neither O2 or Apple will unlock 2nd hand iphones. Why the **** should I have to go with O2 if I want an Iphone when Im an existing customer of another carrier. Fair enough my carrier is getting the Iphone next year but who wants to wait for such a nice phone? I surely don't as well as countless others. Now forgive me for saying this, but Im willing to pay for the service and then take out a warranty too but as we all know, jailbroken phones cant be covered by a warranty as this is considered tampering with the phone and invalidates any warranty. Now am I the only one that can spot such a gap in the market? Im fed up to the back teeth of problems that arise from 'illegal' unlocking and the problems that can occur with such activities. Either O2 or Apple should get their finger out of their proverbial backside and come up with a solution. Its my chuffing phone and I want to use whatever carrier I choose.
Come on Apple sort it out, the phone is mine and I want to use it with who I choose, I couldn't give a **** about visual voicemail so don't tell me I wont have all the features of the phone. Do the maths, you have already generated the revenue from the sale of the unit, there are millions of Iphones that aren't tied to a carrier and that alone has the potential to generate you millions again even if you charge a couple of pounds to do the unlock (More like 30 or so probably)
What do you have to say? What are everybodies views on this?

iPhone constantly shuts itself off ...
So I decided to upgrade my iPhone 3G to the newest software when it was first available and now, inconsistently, it has been shutting itself off.
All I would do is lock the phone, such as after sending a message, and place it in my pocket. When I check it again, I realize it will not turn on, and have to fully power on the thing.
Is this a normal problem? What can I do? Should I downgrade? Is that even possible?
I would just like my iPhone to work like it should, all help is appreciated greatly.

How can I stop mobile versions on web ...
Recently the web on my phone keeps trying to load mobile web versions of site instead of the full page. This happens on Wifi, 3G, and edge. Most of those web sites give the option to Exit mobile version, but when the page reloads it just goes back to mobile version. No matter what I do I can't get the mobile version to stop. Even in landscape view.
I can't find Any settings to make this stop. I even deleted history, cookies and cache, deleted the bookmark, went back to the page and hit exit mobile version over and over until if once in 40 times actually went to the non mobile version, then added the bookmark back when in non mobile mode, cleared cache, cookies and history again.
Mostly happens on Boy Genius Report, but happens on a few others as well.
Any idea how to get this to stop?

Can't unlock my iphone by slide the bar and in the mean time
the monitor's like dead, can't play ipod either.
And I found out that if I knock it really hard, it will back to normal.
But could happen again right next time I try to unlock it.
Or if I sync with iTunes, it will back to normal.
And this could keep it normal for days, then happen again.
I thought it has something to do with the software.
But after I upgradedto OS3.0 and "did not" resotre it,it still happened.
I think it's a hardware problem.
Should I just send it back to repair?

BMW Bluetooth Voice Dialling ...
Hi
sorry I can't search the forums to see if this topic has been raised before at present.
I have a 16g 3G iPhone updated with OS 3.0. Yesterday I took delivery of a new 3 series
BMW with factory fitted Bluetooth, and voice dialling functionality through the steering wheel.
Although my phone pairs with the car and the phonebook updates the car phonebook I cannot get the in car voice dialing to work. When a number is entered correctly, and called up through the system it begins the call but the iPhone display shows 'unknown application' and a big green 'Dismiss' box and disconnects.
On my old car (a 2005 3 series BMW) again fitted with their Bluetooth the voice dialling worked perfectly - at least on the 3G not on the first gen though. It did accept incoming calls. I was led to believe from 2006 model BMW the full iPhone features worked.
Has anyone any knowledge of similar problems? Is there a work around? Who's issue is it BMW or Apple? Or is it just something that's occured since the OS 3.0 update? I have e en today got the BMW Apple iPhone cradle for the car.
Again any help would be appreciated and apologies for not being able to search the discussions.

This is so i can clear my itouch, restore and sell it.
Does anyone know how i can do this? Does Itunes do it all for? Can i use my macbook air to transfer everything? I plan on doing a restore and upgrade on the iphone soon (i havent started using it) so if i use it with my current itunes will it wipe everything? Or do i need to use like another "computer" or "laptop" to do the restorations and upgrades?
I just dont want to plug in the iphone to my mac and have it delete anything i had, or have it update with the current persons information (i bought it off a friend).
Thanks.

Recently i just got an Iphone 3G 8GB. I also have an ipod touch 8gb, that i use to use before i got the iphone. My question is, how do i transfer everything from my ipod touch smoothly to my iphone? I want my itunes info and all my apps, music to be in my iphone now.
This is so i can clear my itouch, restore and sell it.
Does anyone know how i can do this? Does Itunes do it all for? Can i use my macbook air to transfer everything?

The small SIM-card hole - can break the ...
So I just got the phone and I had to insert the sim card, long story short I didnt see the little pin that came with it so I tried a bunch of things, mostly stitching needles and it didn't work.
Anyways in the process of this I stuck the needle in really far, at least 2 cm down. I mean I guess they wouldn't have had a hole there if sticking stuff down could cause damage but it seems like if the phone is turning off abnormally slow not that I finally got in the card, (it seems to load for a few seconds when I turn it off).
This doesnt bother me Im just looking for signs that I busted something when I stuck the needle deep down there so I know if I have to repair it.

Box appears after syncing... ...
This isn't really a big problem, but whenever I sync my iPhone to my computer, a box appears on the screen showing a list of programs I can use my iPhone's photos with, and it's quite annoying. So, is there any way to get this box off? There's no obvious option to when the box appears.

Gray/Redish vertical lines when iPhone ...
I got my iPhone 3G replaced about a month ago. I received an iPhone that came in a white box (probably refurbished). I have noticed that the screen shows vertical lines when in sleep mode. The screen is off, there is no back light, but i can see grayish/reddish vertical lines. The lines disappear once I wake the iPhone.
I have also noticed at times when the iPhone is asleep if there are no lines I see a dark reddish tint on the screen.
When the screen is on there are no apparent defects, except I did have the screen not respond to touch twice and had to do a hard reset. I have not found much info when goggling the line problem. But found a picture similar to my problem: http://www.fozzie.co.uk/iPhonevertlines.jpg
Is this normal?
PS. reason for replacement was abnormally low battery life, which started after 3.1 fw

Blue screen error when I plug my iphone ...
HELP!!! I just got an iPhone, and now when I try to plug it into my PC, my PC crashes and gives me a blue screen error. I have made sure I have the latest updates of itunes, and Windows, and I am just not sure what to do . . . Can somebody please walk me through this? Everything I read talks about syncing, but that requires that the computer doesn't crash the minute I put the iPhone into the USB jack . . .
I did sync it once fine, downloaded a few apps, which was also fine. Now I took some photos with my iphone, and wanted to put them on my computer, but it won't even let me plug it in. Please HELP!!!
Thank you.

Frequently, very slow to wake up ...
Hi,
my 3G, very frequently is very slow to wakeup from sleep. I also observed, that its slow when I need to give the passcode to unlock it but, if I remove the passcode, it works as normal.
I need to keep the passcode, if the phone is lost, atleast no one can view my personal data...
The phone is NOT loaded with applications or so, just few games and few apps only...
Any help is really appreciated.

iPod app on iPhone displays "No Content" ...
Does anyone have this same issue?
I am running an 16Gb iPhone 3G with OS 3.1.2 and iTunes version 9.0.1.8 on Windows. The iPhone finishes the sync and when I go to the iPod app, it briefly displays "Updating Library", and then after a few seconds it displays "No Content". If you go to Settings, General, About it shows 0 Songs, and 0 Videos. The capacity doesn't change (still 4Gb free), so I know the songs and videos are there, they are just not showing up. Even iTunes still shows 9.90Gb of Audio.
I have iTunes setup to sync what's in one playlist. In the past, I was able to add one song to the playlist, sync, and then the songs show up in the iPod app. Now I cannot get that trick to work. And one would think new podcasts downloaded daily would help, but that doesn't work either. I have reset my iPhone back to factory defaults about two months ago to fix an ActiveSync issue, so it hasn't been that long since the phone had been "cleaned".
The "No Content" issue started out happening one a month, now it happens every time I sync. It is also frustrating that since it displays "No Content", you can't even click on More to manually download a podcast.
If anyone has some helpful information on how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Black screen ...
Last week Apple replaced my 3G replaced because of a broken home button. My new 3G has the odd behavior of showing me a dim screen and taking up to 5 minutes before brightening up. Additionally the screen went black yesterday when I tried to launch the phone. After turning black the home button stopped working. I pressed the power key to shut it down but the screen didn't respond to my touch. I got 2 calls in this state and when they came in the screen looked normal but was not responsive so I couldn't answer the calls. When they ended the screen went black again but with the cellular signal line at the top of the black screen visible. I also heard the message beep but the screen was still black. I was in the car so I did a reset by holding the home button and the power button at the same time. This rebooted the iPhone and brought the operation back to normal.
So is this just a fluke or do I need to worry? I did a forced restore when I first got the 3G then restored from backup. My last 3G with the broken home button worked fine so software didn't seem to be an issue.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Device timed out error ...
Having all kinds of trouble with my iphone 3g. I've gotten the itunes and iphone updates yet the phone only syncs my music, movies and podcasts on occasion. It still syncs photos. Lately it's given me an "device timed out" error message. I've called apple support and beyond restarting it a number of times and checking and un-checking music to manually manage music I've still had no success with getting it to work properly.
Anyone else have this problem or suggestions?

Battery drain ...
Hi,
just wanted to inform everyone with significant drops in battery life: After uninstalling Ping! and doing a complete discharge and recharge I am back to almost 3 days of battery life (compared to 12 hrs before) with everything turned on (3G, Wifi, push aso). (iPhone 3G, 3.1.2). Therefore I think it is worth trying to uninstall all non-Apple- software using either push or GPS functions step by step before going any further. By coincidence I did the latest update and installing Ping! within 2 days, so I was pretty sure it could only have been either one.
