3.1.3 Update causes signal loss on 3g

Since I upgraded to 3.1.3 I have no signal at home, before my signal was ok.
Has this happened to anyone else and is there anyway to downgrade back to 3.1.2 or fix it? Both my network provider and apple dont really know how to help.
Signal is fine everywhere else strangely enough it is just when I am at home.
Also, I have tried all the usual restoring the phone, turning 3g off etc, and network services have also confirmed there are no problems reported in my area.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

No problems here.
I have two providers, CLEAR and ATT/bellsouth.net DSL. I have no problem with WIFI signals from either one on my iPhone.
Something different in your settings that is prohibiting your WiFi or your iPhone may be broken. If still under warrantee, take it to the Store and have it checked. If you can receive Hotspot Wifi (Barnes and Noble, Starbucks, etc) or can see and use WiFi at the Apple store, then the problem is your home network, not the iPhone.
We have all three iPhone models . . . original, 3G and 3Gs. All updated successfully without any problems.
good luck

  • ITunes 10.2.1 update causing excessive usbmuxd warnings

    Updated to iTunes 10.2.1(1) this morning and weird usbmuxd behavior started immediately.
    Here is Console's last reference to usbmuxd a minute before I started installing the update.
    Mar 10 08:36:26 Mac-Pro com.apple.usbmuxd[60]: usbmuxd-207 built for iTunesTenOne on Oct 19 2010 at 13:50:35, running 64 bit
    Towards the end of the update process the Install log shows iTunesHelper was launched
    Mar 10 08:38:53 Mac-Pro _spotlight[374]: Begin script: runiTunesHelper
    and at that same time Console reported
    Mar 10 08:38:53 Mac-Pro com.apple.usbmuxd[358]: usbmuxd-211 built on Jan 13 2011 at 04:20:21 on Jan 13 2011 at 04:20:21, running 64 bit
    Since then Console has been reporting excessive usbmuxd warnings.
    When I connect an iPhone 4 to the Mac Pro, without iTunes running, it puts this warning in Console

    Apparently there are two variations of usbmuxd-211 running. One of them is ~ 50 seconds older than the other.
    I'm inclined to believe this is a problem coughed up by my system rather than a widespread glitch in this latest version of iTunes -- I haven't seen an outcry on any forums.
    Does anybody know
    a) What is HandleUSBMuxDictionary?
    b) How do I get it (or its cache, or whatever) refreshed so that it uses the newer build of usbmuxd?
    I tried Safe Boot to recreate dyld cache, delete/reinstall iTunes and associated files per http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1224 , eliminate iTunesHelper from login startup, run DiskWarrior.
    Anyone else with this problem? Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Same as you, when I have no iOS device attached and launch iTunes the following warning appears once in Console

    Additional warnings only appear while a device is connected or synced.
    However, I am using a Magic Mouse and launching iTunes has not caused the loss of tracking you have described. While your problem might be an expression of the iTunes+usbmuxd issue, it might very well be something else altogether.
    Have you made the Magic Mouse a "favorite"? Sometimes that can improve how the system and mouse reconnect if signal is interrupted. Look in
    System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Apple Wireless Mouse
    If it is not a favorite, click the gear menu and make it a favorite. You might have to select "Show More Info" first in order to see the info or make the selection.
    Another thing to do while you are in the Bluetooth preferences for the mouse --- use the gear menu to "Update Device Services".
    After doing those two things, then launch iTunes and see of the problem persists.
    If neither of those actions resolves your issue, another thing to do is confirm whether the problem occurs when you have just one monitor attached.
    Applying OS X Combo Update (either 10.6.6 or 10.6.7) may resolve the problem. Be sure to have a backup before trying.
    Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

  • MSI P45 Neo3-FR and MSI HD4850 signal loss

    My computer:
    MSI P45 Neo3-FR
    MSI HD4850
    E8400 E0
    2x2Gb DDR2 800MHz (MDT)
    Samsung F1 320Gb
    Toughpower Qfan 500W PSU
    Vista 64-bit
    The problem:
    The motherboard came with BIOS version 1.0 which didn't support the E8400 E0. To fix that I had to update to version 1.3, which solved the processor issue but now the graphics card loses the signal at random while playing just about any game and after restarting the computer sometimes keeps on rebooting a couple of times. I read at the german tomshardware forum of someone with a similar problem that solved the problem by using BIOS version 1.2 but that isn't really an option for me since it doesn't support my processor. So any ideas?

    Quote from: Frankenputer on 20-August-08, 21:52:14
    Your PSU is only capable of 18A on 12V1 and 12V2, and only 16A on 12V3.  But, that doesn't mean that the rails can deliver all those amps at the same time, it's just the max.  Try to borrow a better PSU, preferably a powerful single +12V rail one, or get one as yours is not that great.
    A good one to get would be the Corsair VX 550 or the TX 650 Corsair. Both are quiet and have powerful single +12V lines.
    According to the ati webpage the Toughpower Qfan 500W is on the supported list for HD4850/70 though. One strange thing I just noticed is that 3dmark06 and furmark seem to run stable but gaming causes random signal losses. Of course it might also be a driver issue or something else(using catalyst 8.7 with Catalyst Control Center).
    edit: Just noticed there is a new bios v1.4 available so I'll try that out and report back.
    edit2: Ok, 1.4 was a disaster and wouldn't even let me reinstall Vista without bluescreens so now I'm trying out 1.2 and it seems to be working ok so far although it doesn't officially support my cpu.

  • Third party router signal loss?

    I have an iMac G5 and connect wirelessy to the internet with a 2Wire router which is in another room (hooked up to my laptop). For the most part I have no problems (I did have to get rid of a 2.4 GHz phone which was in the same room with the router) but occasionally I get signal loss.
    Is it possible that my neighbor is stealing my signal? Or could it be their phone? I don't have baby monitors, satellite dish etc.

    Is it possible that my neighbor is stealing my signal?
    That wouldn't cause a signal loss.
    It could be interference from any device that operates at 2.4 GHz.
    Have you tried changing the channel used by your base station? Keep changing the channel until you find one that works or you run out of channels.

  • Xorg & Catalyst updates cause major problems here

    I went through the other similar threads and tried just about everything without luck... The latest Xorg & Catalist updates cause lots of problems on my desktop.
    The video card is an ATI X300.
    Without a xorg.conf, X server starts and things work, more or less - but much slower than they used to. It's pretty clear fglrx is not actually used, xv doesn't work, fglrxinfo gives:
    Error: unable to open display (null)
    With the previous xorg.conf (the one wich worked fine before the updates), X doesn't start (even after commenting out the "RgbPath" line and adding Option "AutoAddDevices" "false") and the log shows many fglrx errors such as:
    (EE) fglrx(0): Unknown EDID version 0
    (EE) fglrx(0): ===[swlDalHelperAddCustomizeMode] === CWDDEDI_DisplayGetSetModeTimingOverride failed: 7
    X -configure won't generate a xorg.conf
    Fatal server error:
    Caught signal 11. Server aborting
    In conclusion:
    - without a xorg.conf fglrx doesn't work although X server starts
    - with an old xorg.conf fglrx will generate errors and X server will not start
    Any ideas?

  • Sudden signal loss..???

    Very frustrating signal loss every 4-6 minutes with my Airport Extreme card in my 12" PB!
    Using Linksys WRT54G wireless router. When I have a signal I get 10 to 15 bars then suddenly nothing! It spontaneously reconnects.
    I have tried different channels, my SSID is set to "broadcast" and I don't have a 2.4ghz phone in the house and my neighbors are a distance away so other phones would not be a factor.
    What could be the problem?

    Microwave ovens: Placing your computer or an AirPort Base Station near a microwave oven that is in use may cause interference.
    No, it happens when microwave not in use.
    Direct Satellite Service (DSS) RF leakage: The coax cable that came with certain types of satellite dishes may cause interference. Obtain newer cables if you suspect RF leakage.
    I do have DSS but the system but it is brand new, a year old and was present when I had the other notebooks.
    Certain electrical devices such as power lines, electrical railroad tracks, and power stations.
    None nearby
    2.4 GHz phones: A cordless telephone that operates in this range may cause interference with AirPort communication when used. There are also other devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz range that could cause interference.
    No 2.4GHz devices in the house.
    Metal objects: If possible, move metal objects or change the placement of the Base Station so the path between your AirPort equipped-computer and the Base Station is free from metal objects that may cause interference.
    No major metal objects in the path.
    X-10 video senders (transmitters/receivers) that operate in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth.
    Any other devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth (microwaves, cameras, baby monitors, and so on).
    None in the house in operation.

  • Bumper is only an insulator preventing signal loss not a reception fixer

    Many get confused and start complaining about their reception when the bumper is mentioned, and that it doesn't help them.
    The bumper is only an insulator, as every other case, some better dielectrics than others.
    The bumper will NOT fix your reception problems if you have them. That's why some of those who go out and buy bumpers may not see improvement. Their signal will not change, but their reception will be the same.
    The bumper will help ONLY in cases where you have GOOD reception and then lose it as it gets degraded when holding the phone from the line or just plain pick it up and try to use it.
    Additionally, those who call for Apple to give out free bumpers should take the above into consideration, as they are not for everyone. Why?
    Because A) Many don't need them, and B) They won't help if AT&T or your carrier in your area isn't doing it for you. The bumper is not a signal/network amplifier/helper/fixer. It's just an insulator.
    There are some reporting issues and signal differences between a 3Gs and an iPhone 4 in the same area. I have seen that with my 4 and my 3Gs, occasionally, but for the most part they agree, and seem to work as expected for their particular specs. I mention this because there may still be something to fix there, for both, by Apple, and I have seen it mentioned here too. But, it has NOTHING to do with the bumper, and the bumper won't make a difference.
    Those are my thoughts. Perhaps they will help some get real answers and not fake hopes that their network problems will be fixed by an insulator. I am just trying to clarify the different areas that are being discussed and are currently being lumped together as one, because they aren't.
    Consumer Reports, btw, is ONLY talking about this issue in their recent tests, the signal drop without a bumper issue, not reception problems, not network problems, but the POTENTIAL of dropping a call or having network issues by holding the phone from the line. Nothing more than that! I have more to say on that but, again, I do not want to send mixed messages.

    Funny because she has noted on MANY other posts that she got a bumper and never touches the area where there is a problem, agreeing that there is an issue here, and then turns around and says "i don't need a bumper to use my phone."
    I think she believes that if you have a car whose steering wheel falls off when use your hands that is a non issue, as you can always use your feet. The fact that the OP points to a thread in which you can pretty much divide people into two categories.
    1. Disagree with Zebra entirely
    2. Are not having the issue but still sympathise that there is obviously a problem with reception due to touching bare skin to the antenna for some people out there which is rectified by getting a insulating piece of plastic.
    Which is what's funny, the OP started one thread, completely lost control of it because the OP is not willing to listen to any reason or sense towards those experiencing the problem so started a new topic hoping to be in control again.
    The problem is, the bumper does HELP reception, by stopping your conductive hand touching the metal antenna. The signal goes down when touching the metal antennas over the black divider, this is almost certainly because you are bridging the two antennas, as it can be caused by just a paperclip across the two, or the tip of your finger.
    Again, the bumper stops this shorting as it is plastic.
    AKA the bumper does prevent signal loss, which allows for BETTER reception.
    When you touch this point, signal goes down, and call quality drops (aka the reception is lowerd.) In case your still wondering, becuase we all know she will be, lets consult OXFORD.
    Pronunciation:/rɪˈsɛpʃ(ə)n/
    noun
    1 [mass noun] the action or process of receiving something sent, given , or inflicted:
    sensation is not the passive reception of stimuli
    2 the process of receiving broadcast signals:
    a microchip that will allow parents to block reception of violent programmes
    Touching the left part of the iphone causes data to stop being transmitted when in medium to low signal. agree or disagree? That is a loss of reception, please check your definitions.

  • 1.1.1 signal loss

    i updated to the new firmware and had a signal loss of 2 bars to somtimes flat line at places where i had none before . took it to apple and they gave me a new one and my new phone is back to 5 bars and strong signals like it was before the update.now the firmware is at 1.0.2 and i am not going to change it unless there is a fix for it .

    penna,
    you needn't apologise, the previous post was pointless and obnoxious.
    I'm having a similar experience to yours. When I got my first iphone, I synced it immediately to the 1.1.1 firmware and for the next 2 weeks had horrible signal reception. It would go from 4 bars to no signal from my lifting the phone to my ear or walking 2 feet in any direction. I had no reception in my home or office. I knew it could not be an issue with ATT's coverage as my previous phone, a treo650 had excellent reception both at home and the office and throughout most of San Francisco.
    I took my phone back to the Apple store earlier this week and the tech agreed to give me a replacement. To my surprise, the phone had the 1.0.2 firmware and 03.14.08G modem firmware. The tech offered to update the firmware for me but I declined. This phone has had nothing less than 4 bars since I got the phone, so it is possible my problems with the first phone was due to the firmware.
    This weekend I will sync this phone (its a pain not having any contacts or calendar entries) and install the 1.1.1 firmware and if I again have poor signal reception, then I'll know the problem was with the firmware (as opposed to a hardware issue with my previous phone).
    Stay tuned, I'll post again this weekend.
    regards, William

  • Any noticable signal loss with the DVI-to-video adapter?

    Hi, there. Would any of you happen to know whether there's an appreciable signal loss when converting from DVI to, say, composite video via the DVI-to-video adapter? I'd like to hook my MBP up to an HDTV (when I eventually get one), and I'm wondering if going through the adapter would produce a degraded picture for DVDs, compared to a direct digital connection from a DVD player to the TV.
    Actually, I'm wondering the same thing about the audio connection. Any loss in audio quality when using an adapter to connect the MBP's mini-jack to an HDTV or receiver?
    Thanks much.

    ragamoffyn,
    While there's no "signal loss," as such, there is a considerable loss in signal quality. However, you're over-thinking this...
    HDTVs accept HDMI connections, and your Macbook Pro has a DVI output. The ports are dissimilar, but digital video signal is the same. In other words, you would simply use a DVI-to-HDMI cable. In fact, many HD cable boxes (mine included) still have a DVI port, not an HDMI port. There is no loss of signal or quality.
    Really, the only difference between DVI and HDMI is the fact that HDMI transmits both video and digital audio. DVI doesn't do this, so you must resort to transmitting audio separately. Not a problem: use an optical digital cable, which your Macbook Pro will accept (as will most HDTVs). That said, you might be better off connecting the audio portion of your MBP's output to a home entertainment (surround sound??) receiver.
    Now, I'm not sure about the "progressive scan" capabilities of the Macbook Pro and DVD Player. You'll have to research that yourself. I can tell you that normal DVDs can be "upconverted" by a progressive scan set-top DVD player, and the result looks absolutely stunning on an HDTV. It's not quite as good as full HD, but it comes pretty close. Also, many newer units are being made with HDMI ports. In other words, the DVD is upconverted, and the result is transmitted over a full HD connection. Best of all, these set-top boxes can be had for under $100.
    BTW, the composite video you suggest is simply "standard definition," and not the best SD at that (S-Video is better). Component video (where there are three separate "RCA"-type connectors) is much, much better, but even that doesn't match digital (DVI or HDMI). Also, the DVI-to-HDMI cable you will need can be had at Walmart for around $30. They can also be found at places like Best Buy or CompUSA, but these retailers tend to over-charge for over-blown items (No one needs a "Monster" HDMI cable that costs over $100, and which does no more than the $30 cable from Walmart; digital is digital).

  • OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:

    OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:
    The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
    Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
    Quite annoying. I restored the mini from a recent backup to 10.4.9. Problem gone.
    I'm glad I test updates on the mini before applying them to my Intel iMac 24. I guess I'll just hide & watch what happens before doing any more updates.
    Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
    Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
    Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
    Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
    There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on the laptop line.
    And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
    Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".
    Crikey!

    Libby,
    Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
    I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752&start=0
    First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

  • My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and also I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel.

    My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

    - Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery.  Just the icon.
    - Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
    - What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

  • Recent windows 7 updates caused serious conflicts??

    I have two NI PCIe-1433 boards and the NI Max v5.4 installed. Recent win 7 (64 bit) automatic updates, within the last 10 days seemed to cause serious problems. Win 7 couldn't boot any more. Sometimes computer turns on and off by itself before the windows logo shows up. Sometimes it crashes before I can login.
    I did a fresh reinstallation of win 7. The same problem happened after some automatic updates. I can boot and use windows 7 if I unplug both NI cards. This makes me think the problem is in NI driver/card. I'm reporting it here to see if anybody experiences similar things.
    Earlier this year Win 7 automatic updates caused a problem with my Canon printer/scanner. Canon supplied scan software still does not work today.

    Hi Jeremy
    Thank you for responding. I do not know which update. I know it's due to some update(s) that happened recently.
    After I reinstalled the fresh Windows 7 (64 bit), I installed NI IMAQ software. I was able to use both boards to acquire images at that point. However Windows 7 kept updating itself. Later the same problem happened again.
    After unplugging both boards, I have been using the computer for 2 days without a problem. My computer's power supply is 650W. Does the boards require a lot of power?

  • Periodic signal loss on DCT700 digital adapter

    Our kitchen TV is connected to the FiOS ONT via a basic digital adapter (Motorola DCT700/US). On some TV channels, the sound disappears and the picture freezes for up to a few seconds at regular intervals.
    The problem affects only channels 11 through 25, as far as I can tell (I didn't try every single one!). It occurs at the top of every minute, at the instant when the on-screen clock display rolls over to the next minute. Sometimes the event lasts for only a second or so, in which case the sound resumes and the picture unfreezes after the interruption. If the signal loss persists for longer, I get a gray screen with a message that "the channel is having technical difficulties" before the program resumes. Either way, it's very annoying.
    If I'm watching the same channel via the SD set-top box in the living room, or via either of the CableCards in the TiVo DVR, there is no interruption of sound or picture.
    The DCT700 was installed and activated by the Verizon rep as part of my FiOS installation two weeks ago. I don't recall the problem showing up when he performed his final checkup before leaving, but it's possible we chose channels outside the range mentioned above and/or weren't watching the TV during the fairly short time interval during which the problem occurs.
    I tried disconnecting the power adapter from the DCT700 for about a minute, but the problem was still present after the DCT700 restarted.

    I pulled the plug and re-plugged all 3 adapters and none of them show a channel number.  Very odd.  And none of the of the manuals even reference the problem to find out how to correct it.
    Do you have any idea why I'm not getting channels like CNN?  Am I supposed to be getting channels like CNN? 
    The "trick" of unplugging should resolve the channel display issue (it only shows up for a short period in the bottom left of the TV screen immediately after changing channels).
    As Matcarl said, if you are not getting all the SD channels you are subscribed to you need to contact Verizon as the boxes have apparently not been provisioned correctly.

  • ITunes 11.4 update cause issue with AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext

    Along with many others iMac users, the iTunes 11.4 update cause a window that informs that the system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used.

    Am on Snow Leopard and downloaded and installed the update to ITUNES yesterday - Itunes itself installed okay - but I did get the same system extension cannot be used.
    I don't have any ethernet devices - so I checked the System/Library folder and the date on the file Is July 13, 2009. 
    My IPOD (probably now classic because of age) synced okay through USB port, and everything is working fine.    As the update was to allow more devices to sync with ITUNES it may be the error message is not correct one.
    Seriously - Apple needs to get out of Silicon valley - the message if correct is for techies - not for users who just want the software to update without problems.    Lately Apple is preaching to their own choir.
    I did send feedback through Itunes to Apple - -- If you are experiencing crashes after this update make sure you send the crash report to apple explaining that it is happening after this install  -- also call or schedule a call with apple support --
