I know, it sounds like every iPhone 4 user’s worst nightmare…
Â
My iPhone 4 stopped working earlier today, won’t turn on / charge / anything and i was wondering if it’s possible to activate my 3gs to use while my iPhone 4 is broken.
Â
I know apple made the super sweet move to put micro sims in the 4 so I’m assuming I can’t just switch the sim.

Any help = much appreciated
iphone 4 to iphone 3gs
So, here’s the deal. I have an iPhone 3G, and of course, the new iPhone 4 is coming out. Lucky me, my upgrade isn’t until Jan 2011… and I really don’t want to pay the 400 bucks instead of the 200. But here is the catch. My mom has the iPhone too. My grandmother pays the bill, on on the whole line there is a total of five iPhones: My Mom, me, my sister, my grandmother, and her assistant. My Mom and my Grandmother are the only ones who can get upgrades. My Mom’s phone just stopped working (iPhone, too). She brought it to Apple and they couldn’t diagnose the problem. They told her to just get the new iPhone on pre-order since she is due for the upgrade. Because she knew how bad I wanted it, she told me that she will order the phone, and when it arrives will give it to me and take my old iPhone for her. Will that work? I’m confused on pre-ordering… should we pre-order under her line, and get it delivered to the store so they can switch everything? I know the SIMS are different so I can’t just switch them. Do they come already activated? Or can I maybe pre-order under my number and just say I am taking her account? Can we even pre-order in stores and do that? Should I get it sent to Apple or AT&T?  I AM SO CONFUSED. Please, please, please, reply on any clarification on this matter.
Three weeks ago my iPhone 3GS stopped working entirely. It wouldn’t turn on, wouldn’t register in iTunes, wouldn’t go into DFU mode, wouldn’t go into recovery, wouldn’t charge etc. I was convinced it was completely dead. This all happened with 67% battery charge. I gave up trying everything I knew to fix it so I shelved it. Last night I decided to mess with it again so I took it and plugged it into the charger and to my surprise it started charging and everything was working normally except the date and time were incorrect. I charged it to 100% overnight and everything was fine until this afternoon when I took it out of my pocket to find it was dead again. Now it is back to being dead. No DFU, no recovery, nothing. I handle this phone really lightly and it has never seen water. The only environmental causes that are even plausible are heat, humidity and sweat. Does anyone else have this problem? What do you do to get it to come back? It is the 16gb.
texting mms photo messaging stopped working, but I can send mms picture messages to email. does anyone know how to fix this?Â
My Iphone gps and wifi suddenly stopped working after over a year. I cannot run the moving maps application, I can only get located by cell tower triangulation, which is way off and too slow to keep up with a scrolling map. At the same time, my wifi is weak. I must be within a few feet of my router before it will notice the wifi and sign in. Then after 10 seconds or so, it goes weak again and stops working. My wife has an iphone and both her wifi and gps still work in the same locations mine won’t work.  Don’t bother telling me to reset, or update, or check my settings and turn on location services. I have done all this stuff many times. I have OS 3.1.3. This is real problem that I found on another forum, not with AT&T. There are many people who have this same exact thing and are extremely frustrated, as am I, because noone will tell us what is wrong, and what to do about it. I may as well have a cheap flip phone if I can’t have these two features. I am posting this on AT&T, hoping you all can apply some pressure on Apple, because your customers are getting ticked off. I have tolerated your puny coverage, because the Iphone is such a cool thing. But its not so cool if it doesn’t work. If someone can’t serve their customer a little better here, I see a Verizon Blackberry or something similar in my future. And I will take all my family plan with me.  I am beginning to think that Apple is behaving like Toyota. Toyota is denying there is a problem, meanwhile people are dying because their car suddently accelerates, even after the floor matts are replaced. There is nothing that torques me more than behavior like this. I fork out big bucks and pay exhorbitant fees  for an iphone, but noone will admit a problem because it might cost more than they want to be liable for. You get the big head because you have the most popular product. Well, remember what happened to the first Macintosh. Same attitudes, same comeuppance is on the way.  PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG AND HOW TO FIX IT. No, don’t tell me to send it in and have it diagnosed. They have seen the problem over and over again. Someone knows what is causing it, fess up and take care of your customer.
Hi, My Call Forwarding will not longer set. I have confirmed I have full bars (on Edge). I am on Version 3.1.2, and Carrier AT&T 5.6. Unfortunately I do not know when it stopped working since I had not used it since about last year this time when it worked fine.  My roommates 3G phone, sitting at the same location, the Call Forwarding works fine. Her Version is 3.1 and Carrier AT&T 5.5.  So, I don’t know if the problem is the different versions or if something is just wrong with my phone. I have rebooted it a few times, and several sync cycles to no avail. I would like suggestions on how to fix, and also verify if someone else with the same software and carrier versions as me (they are the latest of each), if their Call Forwarding feature works, and on EDGE.  Thank you!!!!
I set it up just as google’s instructions told me to and it was working fine for a day, but then it just stopped working (would only fetch). I deleted my account and set it up again and it was working again, but then stopped working after about 1 hour.  Any tips on how to get it to keep working?
