I just bought an iPhone 3GS from a friend this morning and it was in perfect, pristine condition. It had iOS 5.1.1 on it, and today i upgraded to iOS 6. At first it was great, but now I am experiencing Wi-fi connection drops randomly (an issue that is common with ios6 on all devices as of now), but I now am experiencing random shut offs, and then this screen if I try to turn it on. Can anyone help me with this? Should I revert to 5.1.1 until ios6.0.1 comes out since I have to jailbreak to unlock it anyway, or just wait it out? Or is there a simpler solution? Thanks in advance! PS I forgot to mention, after about 5 minutes I can turn the phone back on and it work normally for however long until it happens again. This also happens while I still have adequate charge left in the phone. None of this was happening before i upgraded to iOS6. EDIT: After living a day with these problems, I have noticed the random shutoffs only happen when the battery gets to around 45%. After that, its fine. It has happened more than once around there, so I suspect its a software issue, not hardware. I can't downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 Like I want to because I never had any SHSH blobs. News is saying that iOS 6.0.1 is coming within the next month. It will indeed be a long, long month. Also, I tried jailbreaking last night with redsn0w, but It would not recognize my device in DFU mode for some reason, even though it is. |

This was resolved by a battery replacement which I did myself for $5. Fixed all my issues. |

I'd restore it back to factory and take it to Apple. In the meantime, EverythingApplePro shows you how to unlock that iPhone 3GS for $5, here's the video link. I'd do it if I were you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_905412&feature=iv&src_vid=goOAkQGKVII&v=uu2u6DTCfKU |
