[Tulip]

hi
I'am new here so I have few questions about my iphone 3g
the itunes don't detect it and the computer detect it as removable disk??
and the silent button is different than the one on the picture

you just press it?? so is it a different model or what??
and I don't have general in the setting??
in the back it says:
Model NO: 1241 ID:BCGA1241 IC ID:579C-A1241
sorry about these many questions but I'm new in the iphone world

Sounds like you have a fake chinese iphone knockoff.

Does it have a dock connector? If you don't have the flip-able switch, you don't have an iPhone.

Sounds like you have a fake. Where did you buy it, and how much did you pay for it?

i really don't know if it is a fake or not
because most of the games run by java

If you have JAVA then it is a fake, as the iPhone does not have JAVA.

Does it have icons for the App Store and iTunes store? Do they work? If no, you probably don't have an iPhone.

Lets see some pictures of this beast. ^__^

 

[Tulip]

thanks TEG i think it is

Does it have icons for the App Store and iTunes store? Do they work? If no, you probably don't have an iPhone.

yes it have icon for itunes but i didn't try it cause it needs a WAP and i don't know how to connect it
and the sec. icon looks like the app store but it's name is resource and it works as manager or explorer for the files and music ??

[fireshot91]

those get installed by itunes regardless of whether you have an ipod or iphone or not.

ok thanks i didn't know that.

when I connect it to the computer it look like this

 

[pcs are junk]

plug it into itunes and click restore. maybe itll be better. if something goes wrong like i think you said itunes doesnt recognize it, then take it to an apple store and ask them to confirm if its a real iphone or not. sounds like its totally not. i mean really, apple would never put a pushable vibrate switch, if u had it on vibrate it could switch off in your pocket.
