Apple iPhone 3G - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Try this -

1) Settings > Enable 3G Change to Off.

2) Use the iPhone GPS receiver to locate your position

on a iPhone 3 it is not possible to install iOS 6 ! IOS 6 is possible only on iPhone 3GS / 4 / 4S - There are two ways to upgrade the iOS version of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch - via connecting the device to iTunes on a computer - or directly from within the device, but only since iOS 5, it is possible to upgrade the iOS version without the need to connect the iOS device to a computer (over-the-air update) just go to: settings - general - software update

Unfortunately, you cannot Apple has created iOS so that you may not backtrack.

Put it back to 4.2.1
It's not the iOS that's slow. It's how much stuff is on the phone.
The more apps, videos, songs, whatever. The slower the phones gonna run.

I have iOS 4.2.1 and mine runs fast, reliable, and does perfectly. But I also leave atleast 1gb free

Do a hard reset.

1. Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
2. Continue holding both buttons (Ignore the "Slide to power off") until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
3. You may let go when you see the silver Apple logo.
4. You have completed a hard reset successfully.
5. Don't be alarmed that it takes quite a while to load from the Apple logo to the main screen. This is normal.

If this does not work, put into recovery mode and restore from itunes.
Step One
Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to your Mac.


Step Two
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.


Step Three
As soon as the screen goes black release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.

I know a software Syncios is much more better than iTunes, which not only supports transferring music between PC and iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch, but also transferring other data, like photos, videos, movies, contacts, messages, podcasts, ebooks, apps, notes and bookmarks. http://www.syncios.com/pc-to-ipad-air-video-photo-transfer.html

You have to use itunes to turn it into a ringtone. You can either pay itunes the fee to do so, and then it will transfer to your phone, or you can search the apps for "ringtone maker" and get an app that will allow you to crop any of your songs into a ringtone. It will be available on itunes next time you connect your iphone to Itunes.
