Iphone 3GS- only get the apple loading screen.

Just finished a screen replacement on my fianc?e 3GS and when I turned the device on I only get the apple loading screen. After a few minutes it goes to a blank screen, and back to the apple symbol and then looks as it is loading. This is a continuous cycle until the battery goes dead. The phone will not turn off or do anything else for that matter when there is battery life left. Only the same blank screen, loading cycle. Charged it back up and same deal. Please help!!????

    iTunes regcognizes my phone, and I've restored it, did the force restore and nothing. Well actually before the first restror. I could not turn the device off. Now if I hold the home and power it fades to apple, goes back on and then turns off. I am lost!!!

If iPhone won't turn on, or the display freezes or doesn't respond

  1. Press and hold the Home button for at least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
  2. If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
  3. If that doesn't work, reset iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

More resets:
Try This:
1. Remove Sim Card
2. Hold in 'Home' button and 'On/Off' button together until Apple logo appears
3. Replace Sim Card
4. Hold in 'Home' button and 'On/Off' button together until normal phone screen appears.


Also, Try this:
1.) Shut down the iPhone 3G.
2.) Start up iTunes
3.) Hold down HOME button on the iPhone 3G
4.) While keeping the HOME button depressed, plug in the Sync cable
5.) A message will pop up to ask if you want to reset.
6.) Just click YES and the reset process should start.

Ah. simple solution.
plug into computer.
if the computer "does not recognize" the iphone then there is software missing in the iphone itself so just take it back. you are not going to get anywhere if the computer doesn't recognize it.

I am trying to pair my plantronics explorer 233 to my iphone 3g/3gs and it keeps coming up on the phone

Plantronics has really good instruction on their site. And if that does not work their customer service is excellent if you call them.

I have an iphone 3gs it works but the screen is blank except when i turn it off. when i turn it on the screen comes on then blanks out.the touch screen still works.

Did the phone get wet? It may be either your lcd screen or your logic board. I doubt it's a connection issue because it initally works fine. If Apple doesn't replace it for you, you can find the lcd or logic board at iPhone 3GS Repair and there is a guide that shows you how to put in the part at iPhone Repair Guide.

Iphone 3GS touch pad stopped working

As you are using 3GS, your warranty would still be valid. So, go to your nearest Apple Store with everything from your box(all your manuals and papers) and go the the Genius Bar. They will replace your iPhone free of charge. I had the same problem with my 3GS.
GOOD LUCK !!!!!
