IPhone 3GS stuck on Apple Logo

So I got a used iPhone 3GS and so I reset all the content and settings, via Settings on the iPhone. Now it's stuck on the Apple Logo. How do I get out of the Apple Logo! I've tried these methods so far:
-Holding down the power button and the home button for 10 seconds, then turn it on.
-Holding down the power button and the home button for 10 seconds, then turn it on, then plug in the cable right after. (I can't restore! It says it has a problem, I clicked more information, followed their instructions, still did not get out of the Apple Logo/reset iPhone.)
-Going to "Computer" in Start Menu, right-clicking on iPhone, click format, reset. (The iPhone device did not show up, even though it did show in iTunes.)

My iphone 3g stuck on loading circle?

I was just texting my friend when my i phone froze (which it usually does) i normally just restart it my holding down the off button and home button it takes a while to restart but then is fine but today its stuck on the loading circle, i'm really worried its broken! I bought it over a year ago, i'm only young and i bought it with my own money (second hand) so please some one help!

What do I need to return my iPhone to Apple?

Ok, so I live in the UK and I've had my iPhone 4S for around a week. Today, I went to take it off charge to check the weather, as I always do. But I pressed the lock button and nothing happened. No lock screen. The iPhone was just blank. A black screen. I tried charging my iPhone again and nothing happened. I changed my iPad with the same charger and it worked perfectly. I tried restoring my iPhone with my mac but it couldn't pick up on the iPhone.

So I'm with an iPhone 4S that doesn't turn on.

I have a few questions.
One is will I be able to get a refund from the apple store even though I can't find the recipt (yes it's only been a week but I'm really bad at stuff like that). I did ask for a printed copy because I rarely use my email and I knew I'd never be able to remember the password but I've actually managed to lose the printed copy. So is that going to be a problem?

If it is, then what are my options?
If its not, I guess I should take my iPhone in right away.

Changing apple payment method, new bank account?

Ok so I have had my Apple ID for years now, and I have always used my mums bank account to buy apps or music because I didn't have one of my own.
I recently made one (it is inactive atm) but I can't figure out how to delete her detailes and add mine:/ is this possible?
I don't want to have to ask permission every time I need like 69p. And I do t want to make a new account because I have so much music/apps that I have payed a lot of money for and I can't lost my iTunes on my computer so my iPhone and apple account is where I keep all my ***.
Appreciate the help.

There's an iPhone game that you have to dodge the red and orange squares what is it?

I've seen people recommending this game as an app that you should have on your iPhone, you are navigating through a course that is filled with red, orange and (possibly) yellow squares, if you hit any of them you die and you have to just see how far you're able to get. I can't find the name of this game anywhere, I'm hoping someone can help me identify the name or know what game it is I'm referring to, I really would appreciate any help you're willing to give me to help me locate this game.
