I bought a 616-0435 batter for my iPhone 3 GS and the phone does not start. Lights up the screen all white, stays like that for some 10,20 seconds, turns off and then goes back to the same initial state. I do not know the reference of the original battery because it was so “bloated” that was forcing the iPhone case to open. But was working ! Now I can’t put this to work. Wrong battery ? Wrong iOS ? I don’t know for sure but I think I still had iOS 6 on the 3GS. Any help is welcome. PS: I think I read almost any article related to this with no answer for my case.
@gpecurto with the iPhone 3GS the magical APN appears to be 616-0435 with a 0431 being right there as well. .> Check on THE DEFINITIVE ANSWER ON BATTERY APNs. You may just have gotten a bad battery. I would definitely try another new battery and since they are still available try a 616-0431 as well.
