1.1.3 causing phone freeze, dropped calls, bluetooth sync problems

Hello,
I upgraded to 1.1.3 a couple days ago and have had the following problems since.
1) The phone locked up / froze. I was switching applications and the screen went to half brightness and the phone would not respond. Could not power off, could not get home button to react, nothing. Was sitting down at PC to search for how to reset when the phone just "came back". This is a bit annoying and has happened a couple times.
2) I have the bluetooth integration in my car. It's worked flawlessly since I got the car and set it up. Not one hiccup. Get in the car and voila. As of 1.1.3 the car had a tough time finding the phone. The phone said it was "paired". Took the car a while to see the phone and be able to use it.
3) The phone has dropped 4 calls in the past day. All dropped suddenly with no warning in a place where I always am able to have clear, long calls.
Is anyone else having trouble with this? The new features are great but the phone is starting to really be annoying and "PC" like in its flakiness.

Same issue. Found a solution that worked for me:
http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2008/01/17/fix-for-iphone-113-bluetooth-problems/
They gave 3 possible solutions. The only one that worked for me was the following:
Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC then press the “Restore” button in iTunes. When prompted, choose the option “Set up as new iPhone.” Once the phone has been restored, re-attempt pairing with the problematic Bluetooth device. Unfortunately, this solution will result in the erasure of some custom settings on the phone.
Good luck

  • My phone keeps dropping calls what can i do to fix this?

    My phone is dropping calls, and having trouble downloading apps over the 3G.

    The first thing I'd try is resetting the phone. Press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose any data. The iPhone 5 also has a sleep button replacement program. If you have one with the bad button that may also be causing the problem.

  • My phone started dropping calls in my house about a month ago. How can I fix this?

    My wife's 4 and my daughters 5C did the same. I called customer service and was essentially told "too bad, if it's in your house we can't really help that". My wife was able to call *228 and her phone now gets 3 bars which isn't good, but its better than not being able to use her phone. My daughter and I can't use *228. We have powered off and back on, removed SIM cards, what else can we do to actually get phone service on 2 of 3 phones in our own home? The phones also drop calls around the corner from our house so it's not just in our home. The phones all work well at school and our jobs.  We live in zip code 80525. Help please!

    I was not given a ticket number when I called customer service. I was only told the same thing you typed....  "We are unable to guarantee indoor service due to multiple factors that can impact wireless signals with structural interference ranking high on the list; However, other customers are taking advantage of Network Extenders to improve indoor service". I am starting to feel like this is a ploy to get your customers to spend more money. Most reliable network and we have no coverage in a suburban neighborhood??? Hmmmmmm.
    As I said in my original post it is not just dropping calls in our home. It is around the corner from our house and in several other areas of the neighborhood, almost clustered to the south end of our neighborhood with the worst being in our home. We have lived here almost a year and had no problems until a few weeks ago. None of our phones have difficulty with calls dropping anywhere else but our neighborhood. It also effects facetime and my wife being able to send picture messages on her iphone 4. 
    My brother in law has a Samsung Galaxy--on our plan--and came over last night. He said as soon as he gets in our neighborhood his phone varies greatly between 1x and 4G coverage and likes to drop calls.
    The only solution proposed by customer service was to shell out $200.00 for a network extender. Again this is not JUST in our home, though it is worst in our home. This is obviously a recent network problem and should not incur a cost on our part to fix it, if we can't make a call until we leave the entire subdivision.
    We will be asking people with other carriers to try their phones in our neighborhood. If they have better coverage, our family will be changing carriers. We have been loyal Verizon customers since 1999. Our loyalty ends when we shell out $300 + a month for phones we are unable to even use in our home or our neighborhood. Hoping for a real answer from customer service soon. This generic "we want you to be satisfied and have a great experience" response followed by "Spend more money with us to get coverage that you have had for a year but suddenly don't have" is unacceptable.

  • My phone is dropping calls, doesn't ring all the time-goes directly to voice mail, do no recieve alert on when a text is recieved

    1-My phone does not ring all the time upon recieving an incoming call, it goes directly to voice mail.
    2- Not recieving alert tone upon recieving a text message.
    3- Dropping calls also

    We have the same problem widespread in our company with iPhone 4's and 5's:
    - Fails to establish the call, dials but nothing happens
    - Drops the call for no reason even though signal strength is good
    - Recevie text alerts to notify of voicemail when the handset has not rung nor does it show missed calls
    We migrated someone to a Samsung Galaxy S4 for a month and all these issues went away. Nothing to do with alert tones turned down or faulty silent switches.

  • Since upgrading OS last week, my phone is dropping calls constantly and connections are awful!  Any correlation?  How can I fix it??

    After upgrading to the latest OS a few days ago, both my husband and I are experiencing bad connections and dropped calls after a few seconds.  Not sure if the problem is related to the upgrade or not but ready to toss my phone and go Droid if I can't get this fixed

  • When do you know you have a problem with your phone and dropped calls?

    My iphone 4 hasn't really been a problem but I've noticed and all the people who call me notice that my phone is dropping a lot of calls. It's almost dropping every other call, and that is awful should I go back to the store and take it back? I don't want to waste anyone's time or should I be angry. I try not to get ****** over a phone but my 3GS never did this.
    Marc

    You have 30 days to decide. Albuquerque has good to moderate 3G coverage. It is possible that ATT has again been overloaded with a mass of new phones and may need to make adjustments to their service. I am lucky to live in S Florida where coverage is great. However, if your coverage was marginal to begin with you may have trouble. I would let it sort itself out by July 24 the 30 day mark for most and decide than. The only thing to be mad about is not being able to have the phone you want at this time. In spite of what appears to be a large vocal group on this forum, who are really have problems, most of the 1.7 million phones are not. Again see what plays out in your 30day trial and make your decision accordingly.

  • 2.2.1 update means dropped calls and wifi problems?

    I've noticed some other threads about dropped calls, and 3G issues, but is anyone else getting wifi problems? Seems to not want to detect anything, restart it, and it picks up, but inveitably fails a day or so later...

    I have not experienced any wi-fi connection problems, and I regularly connect to a number of different wi-fi networks.
    I suggest resetting network settings on your iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings.
    This will erase all saved wi-fi networks on your iPhone, which will require re-connecting to all wi-fi networks that you have access to and if any are password protected, this will require re-entering the password for a password protected network.

  • E61i Gallery / Video causes phone freeze.

    Hi there,
    I downloaded a video podcast from the BBC but it now causes the phone to freeze whenever I access the gallery pages (any of the types), podcast or even file manager when navigating to the "video" directory. How can I reformat the phone ? Is it possible to reinstall the same firmware as I have the current version ( 1.0633.2205) ?
    Additionally, even though I have a default email account created, the email key (press and release) takes me to the internet "nokia business" page, but press-and-hold takes me to compose an email. Shouldn't press-and-release take me to the inbox ?
    Lastly, when trying to configure IM services, the only access points visible are for mobile data services, not Wifi. Where can I amend this ?
    Great phone otherwise, just hoping it lives up to its expectations.
    Thanks,
    Richard.

    Thanks for the shortcode. I found an alternative to a reformat though.. I managed to use the filemanager to navigate to the "Podcasting" directory (but not actually into it) and delete it all and everything underneath it. This seems to work.
    What's frustrating is that I have an N80. I can use the SAME podcasting software on that to download a video, then bluetooth it across to the e61i and watch it without a problem. But this is awfully longwinded. And also takes an awfully long time...
    Anybody else seeing this problem?

  • IOS7 causing phone freeze/full crash

    Installed iOS7 today off my iPhone's settings. Once it finished, I have my phone constantly freezing after only 2 minutes of use, ultimately to slowly shut the screen off by pressing the lock button. The phone won't turn back on unless pressing both the lock key and the home button. I can't even get through apps, like Safari, camera, and settings, nevermind the third party apps. Someone please help.. I can't figure out what is wrong and I've tried restarting my phone and letting it sit off for a while. I can't use my phone for anything, whatsoever.

    Suffering the same problems! I was able to download back to ios6.1.4 and then popped into Apple store in Birmingham yesterday. They updated to ios7 and same problems happened again. I didn't have time to wait for a Genius appointment so left the store with a dodgy iPhone. I then tried downloading back to ios6.1.4 when I got home but now an error message comes up and I'm unable to restore! Back to an Apple store later today.

    When I press end call it doesn't go back it just stays on that display and fades black then I can't make or receive calls can text but I'm getting tired of going to rest all setting to get it going again I phone 4 it is any help would be great thanks

    Try restoring in iTunes:
    Plug in the phone to a computer with iTunes, and launch iTunes. Click on the phone under "DEVICES" on the left. Click Restore. Make sure you have a recent backup. If you restore from a backup and the problem continues, restore again but set it up as a new phone.

  • Why did my phone freeze when it was syncing?

    i connected my phone to my itunes to download the latest, and when it was almost done it froze up and said wasnt able to complete. no my phone is frozen on the apple screen w the status bar. what do i do to use my phone??

    I have the same problem.  I plugged in my iPhone, started the iOS 6.1 udpate.  30 minutes later, my iPhone4 is frozen in the "loading" screen with Apple logo and progress bar - only the progress bar isn't moving and I can't reset the iPhone.
    Help appreciated.  My iPhone is just a brick with a progress bar, currently...
    I can not power the iPhone down, and a hard reset simply brings me back to the progress bar screen on the phone.  I can not restore from backup through iTunes because the phone is locked.

  • What is the cause of my recent refresh and sync problems?

    I use my iBook for my iTunes and iPod. I have my library on an external Iomega eGo connected by firewire. I leave the iTunes up pretty much all the time with an hourly check/update of the podcasts.
    After work, I will come home and connect my iPod via USB cable to my iBook. When the screen comes out of "sleep", it will say it is sync-ing but the spinning cursor will be on the screen. When I get up in the morning to sync my iPod again and head to work it will still be spinning and will have done nothing. I have begun to check it before connecting the iPod in the evening and on occasion the cursor will be spinning. I have tried force closing iTunes either through trying to shut down or just force closing in the OS - neither works. I just get a message that the force close failed. I end up having to turn off the machine to get it to reset.
    What is wrong?

    First, you should update to -> 10.4.11 and see what happens.
