3G, 4G, and LTE Data Network on iPhone 5

When an iPhone 5 on AT&T or T-Mobile loses LTE in a limited coverage area, it reverts back to the 4G network. When my iPhone 5 on Verizon loses LTE in a limited coverage area, it reverts back to 3G. Why does Verizon have 3G instead of 4G when it loses LTE on an iPhone 5.
I've also noticed that the iPhone 4S from AT&T and T-Mobile shows the 4G network icons while the Verizon and Sprint's iPhone 4S shows the 3G network icons.

Let's see what's going on with your service Roal! How often are you seeing the network toggle back and forth from LTE-3G? LTE and 4G are the same; therefore, if you're seeing LTE, that means you're getting 4G. Some phones display 4G, some display LTE, but I assure you, both are the same. Also, do connections start after 8AM, or before 8AM? This could be because the network is getting heavier usage after a certain hour so connection isn't as strong. How does it work outside the home after this hour?
Thank you,

I need to back up and sync multiple iPhones to a single iMac. Each iPhone has a separate Apple ID and the data from each iPhone needs to be backed up separately from the others. How can I do this without getting all of the contacts, etc. mixed? Tnx

Best way to export and import data from an iPhone app?

How do people here prefer to export and import data from an iPhone app?
For example, suppose your app creates or modifies a plist. It might be nice to provide that plist to the user for separate backup and later allow them to re-import it.
How do people do that? Email the plist to an address? If so, how would one later get it back in?
Is there a common way people do this kind of thing?
Thanks,
doug

Or maybe the best approach for this is some sort of file synchronization feature? Is there a way of having files from the app's filesystem automatically get stored on the computer's filesystem when synchronizing and vice-versa?

Could not activate cellular data network on iphone 3g

my phone's screen broke yesterday so i bought an iphone 3g from a frend of mine, its running on 4.0.1, i am already on at&t an have an existing data plan but when i try to use the internet i keep gettng this message "could not activate cellular data network" what do i need to do to fix this?

I am absolutely getting LTE. From the iPhone 5S on, the GSM and CDMA phones had identical GSM radios ostensibly for overseas use (in the case of the Verizon phones). Verizon tells you they're only unlocked for overseas so that you won't leave their service for a domestic GSM. Actually, all of the 6's have identical receivers, however the CDMA antennae are disabled on the T-Mobile and AT&T versions... which doesn't matter anyway because Verizon and Sprint won't activate devices that did not originate on their networks though theoretically you could run on Verizon LTE with a GSM only phone as GSM is required for LTE (thus the SIM card in later model Verizon phones).
The Verizon model is the best of everything because it is completely unlocked for any carrier (except Sprint, but who cares, right?).
Edit: forgot to mention... Verizon is required to make all of their LTE phones GSM-unlocked as per their agreement with the FCC when they were acquiring LTE technology.

Could not activate cellular data network on iphone 6 plus

I was using an att's prepaid gophone and just bought an iphone 6 plus yesterday. but it shows that "could not activate cellular data network" even if "at&t 4g" logo shows on the top of the screen.
I've asked att for help and they said that my sim card and account are totally correct. When I put other's SIM card in my iphone and put my SIM card in an 5s, both of two iphone worked well. but when my sim card in my iphone, the cellular wouldn't work.
att said that iphone 6 plus which is a very new device may not support prepaid card yet, but i'm not sure if it is the point.
did anyone meet the same problem? i've tried the old solution about clear the cookie and data but it didn't work.
hope for your helps

Can I update only from my iMac and have data flow to iPhone and MacBook, not the other direction?

New to iCloud and Lion. Can I update via iCloud only from my iMac and have data flow to my iPhone and my MacBook, not the other direction?

No. Syncing means bringing both ends to be the same.

If i reset my ipad will my contacts and other datas in my iphone be deleted also? I am using i cloud on both ipad and iphone

IF i reset my ipad will my contacts and other datas on my ihone be deleted also?. both are on icloud

if you "reset all content and settings" your phone will go back to its out of box factory settings

How can i swap the content such as messages, calendar entries, apps and app data between two iphone 4s?

I have a Iphone 4s and my friend has one too and we want to switch phones but do not want to lose any data or message or calendar entries, we want the same exact content avaliable in my phone swapped to his and his to mine. how can this be done?

Back up your phones onto your respective computers with iTunes, swap phones, Reset them and when you connect it to iTunes, instead of "Set up as a new iPhone", click on restore from back up

Force/Configure Agent communication network and backup data network

Hi,
I have a simple question but I cannot find an answer to it.
question: How do i force DPM to have all Agent communication flow through the production Network and NOT use the backup Network?
Situation: production Network - this should be used for Agent communication - all Firewalls for this are open here - it works as Long as we do not add the backuplan to the Hosts we want to backup.
backup Network - this is configured in DPM as the backup Network - as stated on TechNet this subnet is also registered in DNS for all Hosts that we want to backup so DPM is able to resolve it
Problem: Agent communication Fails regularly and backups too due to Agent communication errors
Reason that we think is the cause of Agent communication: due to the requirement to resolve both the production net IP and backup net IP of every host we backup there are 2 records in DNS for each host. So what I have seen is that as long as DPM resolves
the host Name to the production IP of the host, everything works fine (Firewalls are open for that network) but as soon as DNS returns the backup net IP, the Agent communication fails as this network is not open for Agent communication in our firewall. To
make things worse I have seen that the DPM host Agent goes out on the production lan and tries to communicate with the Agent on the host using the backuplan. That is never going to work as Firewalls are only opened within the same subnet.
I do not see any solution here. DPM offers powershell command to define a backup lan but how do I force the Agent communication to use only the production Network?

You can separate traffic without consequences.
Article in Russian
http://blog.it-kb.ru/2013/05/25/system-center-2012-dpm-network-on-separate-nic/
Add IP backup network address to hosts file (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) in DPM servers and protected server with agent DPM.
NOT registered in DNS .
ALSO
Add-BackupNetworkAddress [-DPMServerName] <String> -Address *.*.*.*/subnetmask [-SequenceNumber]

Have a nice day !!!

I had to get a new computer and when I plug in my iPhones it does not have all the apps I bought. I get the error: are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library.

How do I get an old library onto a new computer. When I plug in phone all my apps do not show up.

You need to copy the iTunes liubrary from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your New computer...
See Here for one way
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
Or...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Backup iTunes to an External Drive

An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

Updated to iOS 7.1.2 and my data network drops in and out every 30 seconds

Anyone else having this problem? I've tried restarting my phone but it didn't resolve the issue.

Thanks, but this did not work either.
The problem seems to have resolved itself overnight though..

My iphone will not connect to wifi or my data network.

I have experienced this over the last few days. You see the problem is that my phone says that it is connected to my wifi and my data network but then i go to the web or get on a app that requires Internet and it says that I have no Internet connection. Please help me you guys, I have went to apple and they told me nothing is wrong and the something happens. I have an iPhone 4 and it is black, Thanks in advanced:)

Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

I have also installed many programs with settings, login information and other data on my iPhone. How I can keep this information?
How I can keep my:
-music ratings
-installed programs

Can anyone help me?

Where is your computer's backup of all important data that should include your iTunes library and should have been created or updated immediately before installing a new OS? Did you lose all important data when doing do or just your iTunes content? The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.

Inconsistent data connection on iPhone 5

I have been using my iPhone 5 since last November, 2012. Lately, I've been having trouble holding a 4G LTE signal in areas that are supposed to have LTE according to the Verizon coverage map. When using the phone in areas that have 5 bars of signal, my data connection will fluctuate from LTE to 3G to '0" (1X). I have been reading that others have similar problems so I think the problem is with Verizon's network.

Hello NJ_Analyst. We definitely want you to have a consistantly fantastic experience with your iPhone 5 and LTE data service. Is this trouble happening in multiple locations or just a couple specific areas? What's the zipcode where you're having the most trouble? Does it seem to be the biggest issue when you're indoors? Since these phones are more like mini computers, sometimes a simple reset http://vz.to/OPvlTr can help refresh the phone's connection to the networks and get everything running smoothly again.
