settings icon on iphone 3gs has a red 1 notification.

i'm having the same exact problem. everyone i've talked to says it's an over the air download. but i still can't seem to get rid of it no matter what i try to do.

Hi.

Just wondering if anyone got this fixed?

I'm having the same issue

Thanks

no one has had any advice on how to fix it, so i've still got the red 1.

I have the same problem on a brand new iPhone 4s - It came with 5.0 and I did a combined uprgrade and restore on iTunes. I have been through all the menu options inside Settings to see if there is something deeper down the menu tree that needs attention but no - the red 1 is very irrotating - it's looks untidy - I expect it will go away on it's own when they issue 5.02

It really is untidy. I hate it.

If anyone does get a fix please update.

Thanks again.

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Already tried that couple of times 😟

Try...

Check your Notifications.

Perform an iCloud backup.

It's automatically doing iCloud Backups

what do you mean check notifications?

I've tried these things. Many times.

Thanks

I can't pinpoint what happened but I think the problem stems from getting 5.01 from 2 places automatic download and iTunes.

Even if the phone is on 5.01 and ready to go it seems iTunes can't restore an old phone without first downloading it's own copy of 5.01 and somehow building a complete package to put on the phone.

I think the Red 1 says "I have a new version of OS to install" but because somebody else (iTunes) did the install it never got to clear it's flag.

I think it's a factory reset and try again.

I agree. On my old 3GS I had a notification about the new update. I didn't do it straight away and had the red one on my setting until I did.

So I'm thinking it's the same. But hasn't gone away after I've updated.

I got the same problem, please if someone find the fix post it here.

Just adding to the list I have the same problem and hoping Apple is taking notice.

I fix it. Restore the iphone as a new iphone. If you restore your old backup it will show the red dot again. The problem is on the back up I gess.
