I have an iPhone 3G S 16 GB black and I have multiple problems.
The speaker is not loud enough
there are lots of scratches on the screen, back and metal rim.
The headphones that came with the box are not working,(broken inside)
the earpiece has decreased in volume.
I constantly have to restore.
Camera quality decreased from when I first got it.
Compass always saying recaibrate.

Can someone please list some options for what I can do or will apple replace it if it was at one point jailbroken? It no longer Is.

I would restore the phone by connecting it to the computer. Then powering it down. Then Hold the power button for 3 seconds, then hold both power and home button together for 10 seconds then release the power but continue to hold the home button until iTunes recognizes that it's in recovery mode. It will restore.. Once it's restored, then just activate with iTunes and when it ask you if you want to set it up as a new iPhone or restore from backup, CHOOSE set up as new iPhone. Then just visit a Apple Store or send it in. That will eliminate all traces of jailbreaking..

Apple MAY replace it. They cannot tell if a phone or iPod was jailbroken once it's restored, so that wouldn't affect it. But that sounds like a largish crapload of problems you had there... I'd contact them.

Sounds like your iPhone doesn't like you very much though...



iPhone speakers aren't very loud to begin with, but if its quiter than other iPhones, I dunno.



They make kits for fixing iPhone scratches, just google it. I also hear toothpaste works on it, but don't try that just because I said it



Apple headphones are garbage anyways...



Why do you have to restore so much? Was it completely not working, or could you have reset it?



Sometimes the camera does decrease in quality, I've heard several other people talk about that



Have you recalibrated the compass?

save attempting to repair it. Many adult men had comparable issues, maximum of them succeeded to repair it in some days. additionally, get an apple twine, a minimum of for that factor, from a buddy, or whoever.
