Hi There,
i have a 3GS with a "APN 616-0347".
Via Ebay i got an "APN 616-0431".
But now i got Error 29.
If i use the "APN 616-0347" it works.
But in any case of problem i get Error 29.
Where can i buy a "APN 616-0347"?
Or is APN 616-0435 working?
I heared in some cases it wont work...
Are there any compare lists?
Org. APN=> Exchange APN?
Thanks for any help.
Is this a good question?

I have done some extensive testing with these batteries. APN 616-0431 causes the error 29. In all my testing APN 616-0435 worked every time and never give me an error 29. Unfortunately, I have not tested the APN 616-437 at this time, so I can't give you any input on those.
The 3GS batteries we sell are APN 616-0435.

Just recently got an error 29 with battery 616-0435, switched it with another of the same model and it worked just fine.

It's worth noting that the APN alone doesn't [necessarily] seem to be the cause of this from my experience. I have a 616-0435 battery purchased from ebay which caused the error 29 message in my iPhone 3GS, however the ifixit (same APN) replacement battery fixed the issue.

This is a different issue than the error 29. This problem is usually caused by a bad battery or software. Please start your own question for your issue.
It is error29 while trying to update on 4.3.3 and i kick it from boot logo with redsn0w0.9.6rc11 but it keeps restarting all the time now, it must be the battery problem
Like Matt Barnes said, just start your own question. Click on the link on the right side of this page "Ask a question" and give as much detail as possible. Good luck
hi all,
ive got the same issue, as yet i have not looked at my battery but can be certain its not the 437.
i upgraded my firmware to 4.3.3 and baseband 06.15, it worked for a little while but now iphone constantly restarts and i get errors 21 and 29.
ive looked for solutions and i think its down to battery although apple error page also says it could be a security file on the iphone?.
i was going to use tinyumbrella but it does not support 4.3.3 so guess im stuck....
phil
this may help.

this is the best place to get the 3GS Battery for a good price. Must be serial 616-0431 and nothing else. They're reliable and ship fast!

Ok i tested it myself. If you have a "APN 616-0347" you cant use a
APN 616-0431, APN 616-0435. My iphone rebbots every 5min with the "435" and with the "431" you cant install any firmware >4.3x.
My last try is to get a real "APN 616-0347". I ordered if in UK and this is usually a 3G battery. But APN and VPN are correct...and
i really have a 3Gs. So apple sold the 3gs with 3G battery and force the users to buy the right one... I think my next phone will be android again.

if you still have the batteries take a look at back of the pin section, some are a straight wiring, some are curly (very technical term) i think this has something to do with the compatibility.... maybe that later 3g batteries are in fact 3gs batteries who knows...this is apple!
