IPhone 3GS Battery Problems?
In april this year my IPhone 3GS has been randomly turning off when i do multiple thing and when I try and turn it on, it won't really turn on without it being plugged into the charger. I forgot to mention about 1wk before this started happening, i dropped my IPhone and it only has a little crack on the top left corner.
This problem has been really annoying me so I went into Apple at Carindale and told them about my situation. They said that I would need to backup and update the phone to see if that would work.
So this morning I did the update with no problems and it started working normally. 2 hours after using the phone after the update my phone was still on 100% battery life. I thought that was a little bit weird because i was using facebook, instagram and games and I thought the battery percentage would be down to about 70%.So I turned off the IPhone and see what would happen when I try and turn it on. Half way when I was turning it on, it decides to turn off. I plug it into the charger and It decides to turn on. Then I discovered something. When I turned it off, it was 100% but when I turned it back on it was down to 82% means it's not showing on my IPhone the right percentage, its just showing the percentage when it as lastly changed and it would stay at that percentage. I went online to see if anyone had the same problem and I found someone saying to reset your settings in the ph, so I did that and it has kinda been ok so far, but just had one turn off.
Just before I started typing thi question, I turn it off and back on and see what happens, I had no problems and now the battery percentage is starting to down but really slowly. But i'm not too sure if it will be like this for long.
What do I do? Is there anything else I could do? I was thinking of taking it into apple once again or maybe get a new IPhone 3GS battery.
As you have already updated your iPhone that means no software problems! But as you have dropped it, i think it must be some hardware problem in the battery and the stuff related to it.
ADVICE- Why won't you check the hardware at the apple service center.
- Wi-Fi connection problems on iPhone 3GS? So I'm just after getting an iPhone 3GS off a friend. When I connected the phone to my house Wi-Fi there was a strong connection all around the house and outside. Today I dropped my phone and since then I can only get a Wi-Fi signal when I'm in the same room as the Wi-Fi box, as soon as I leave the room I lose the Wi-Fi signal. Any help on how to fix this would be much appreciated!
- Why is my IPhone 3GS having problems after I updated it? After updating my iphone to the latest version (5.0.1I think it was) my phone just randomly started shutting off and coming to a blank white screen and then an error screen and after a few times it went back to normal then shut off again. Right now it is recovery mode and not working so I was wondering if anyone has the same problem and a solution to it.
