go to your phone company and tell them the problem and that u what a new iPhone that is not a 3GS because iPhone 3GS has had this problem for years and it will never be fix I don't wast money on fixing things I just argue and get a newer product and I'm going to the store this weekend to get a new iPhone u guys should try it
my iPhone 3GS keeps rooting by its self and I'm a member of AT&T and I'm probably going to have them upgrade me to the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s for free for I can text and call people again I'm sick of the iPhone 3GS if u have a video to help me fix this problem just send it to me my email is bossman8387@gmail.com
Congratulations on providing value even 2 1/2 yrs later. This solution worked for me on the second try. Glad the video shows that it may not take on the first try. Happy New Year!
I shiped mine back for this problem and they said there was no problem with it and they put ios 5 on it. Now i have 200+ new features with the same crappy crashes.every time i lock it
mine does freezes up all the time of shuts off. appl told me to turn it off then back on that fixes any issues, yea right if it was thsat easy. maybe next time my car breaks down i turn it off and back on and magically repair itself. iphone is junk
Have u fixed this problem? My friend had the same problem with his 3gs. The wonderful people at apple seem to think it is a software issue. It's NOT A SOFTWARE ISSUE it will hapen even if u update to the latest firmware. The problem is in the battery, for some reason APPLE decided to use this krap battery which dies (quick and a lot). The device may show 60% but it's not at that percentage. My friend changed the battery and it's sorted the problem!
I've had three phones all with freezing and lockup problems. Seems to be with the integration of the keyboard interface and MMS especially. I am usually attempting text input when the phone 3GS locks up. I have had an apple employee spend literally days calling me and walking me thru fixes, which didn't help at all.
hell ya man thank you so much i was texting on my iphone and my screen stops working so i looked all over the enternet and found your video i did what you did i hold the top buttion and the home buttion and wated for a min then it started to work so thanks man you saved me a lot of money
my fuckin phone does that too but my phone if u leve it for 15 min it will start working again . do u have 3.1 .0 cuz that is when my phone started doing it
Actually, this happened a long time ago(3 months about), on the 2.2.1 firmware if i remember correctly. It got so bad, as you see in the video, that i couldn't take it anymore. I went to a nearby apple store, got it exchanged, and BAM.... perfectly working iPhone. I'm convinced it was a chip problem or something else related. Trust me, if you have a problem that cannot be solved by the numerious solutions given online (restore, wipe, ect.) just save yourself the hassle and go to the apple store.
@xctom5593 I mailed my in to a repair center. Hooked it up to my computer once I got a new one and am getting ready to send this one back due to the continuall lock ups. I have just about had it with Apple and their products.
