I thought this was only an issue with the first gen iPhones and their recessed jacks. So people having problems with 3G/3GS too?

Yeah, the 3G was supposed to be flush.

Yup, it's a problem for everyone but verizon and nextel in nyc.

I thought you were a Sprint guy?

At least with my iphone 3g and my shure se530's, correct.

I have a sprint htc touch diamond and an at&t iphone.

i don't have a problem with my 3G and my SE530s.

Weird...I guess I will have to take some pictures later on to show that I am not crazy (at least I think I am not crazy, of course if I truly was crazy, that would exactly be the kind of thing I would say).

Are you sure you have a 3G? You didn't happen to get a refurb, did you? I wonder if they put it in an older case? So is it flush or isn't it? Do you have one of those "iPod condoms" around it, that might help prevent the plug from going all the way in? Or maybe it's going in, but you're just not feeling it go all the way in?

Mine definitely looks like the top one, and according to the case, it is a 3g. I do have 3g data access on my iphone of course. However, the plug of my shure se530's does not insert fully into it, which means there is no bass and it sounds phasey, though there is sound.

Okay this is weird...I just tried to plug in my shures and voila they fit perfectly in. I swear when I tried this a month ago for the 1st time on the airplane it wouldn't insert fully...a week ago or two I used the stock earbuds to insert and check it worked, and now the shures fit fine. Blame me for being an iphone newb I guess:palm:

First post with my 10 minute old 16gb 3GS . I'm sure I will be very active in this thread for some time to come.

Perhaps you should call his new place and cancel his service "by accident."

good thing i have tethering enabled, as my upstairs neighbor (we shared a business class line) just up and cancelled the service (it was under his name) instead of having it put under my name when he moved. i don't move into my new place until the 15th, not enough time to make it worth while activating new service here.

What a jerkomorphass

damn that's cold

I think he should now become your downstairs neighbor. Permanent, like.

Okay, this is a weird one, at least to me. When I plug my iphone into my computer, it doesn't recognize it, doesn't show up in itunes, won't charge, etc. It's like it's not plugged in at all. I've tried the same usb thingy with my ipods and computer, and no problems. I've tried a different usb thingy and still nothing. I've turned it off and on a few times and nothing different. When I use the same usb cord and and connect it to the wall, it charges. I dunno what's going on or what to do. This kinda stinks as I actually started using it for phone/music at the gym, and I wanted to change the tunes in it. Blech. Any ideas?

Did it ever work with the cable you are currently using?

sounds like you need to take it into the appall store

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but thought I'd see if anyone knew anything first.

Try putting the phone into DFU mode and see if iTunes will recognize it then.

Connect it to the computer and open iTunes. Press and hold the home and sleep button together for 10-15 seconds.

I used to have that problem, but I don't remember the solution, and I don't have that problem now, so can't try to recreate it (the solution). Try a different USB port? I do remember patience being one of the problems -- need to give the two devices a chance to shake hands and whatnot. I do vaguely remember that I (a) had to have iTunes already running, and ( the iPhone should be on. Trying Hopstretch's suggestion is also a good idea.

Vicki I had this problem, but it was solved by turning off the phone for a minute, turning it back on, restarting my computer, and plugging the phone in. sounds like you already tried this.

I would try the "Press and hold the home and sleep button together" without plugging it in, but holding those keys until the unit totally reboots, which is after the power-off slider comes and goes and the white apple screen comes up. Once the white apple screen comes up I would let go of the buttons and let it complete it's reboot. After that it should be back to normal, without needing the computer. (crosses fingers)

Impractical, but just plain neat.

That is nuts - now if it were a cassette to ipod adapter for a car or something then I would be impressed.

Thanks for your suggestions, guys. I reinstalled itunes plus did the off on thing with both computer and iphone, and it's working now.
