3G switching back to EDGE because of poor ATT coverage major battery drain?

I have the orig iPhone, my friend cam to my office today with the 3G iPhone. We kinda marked off all the areas that the 3G would drop and EDGE pick up. The 3G phone basically had more areas that it did not have coverage than it did. Every time the phone would re-scan, and EDGE would pop back up. It probably dropped to EDGE 20 times as we walked different areas over lunch. After seeing that 3G does not have good coverage anywhere by my house or office I think I will wait for the 3G coverage to get better... I am in Orange County So Cal, was thinking the coverage would be perfect?? Also, it seems all the back & forth with the phone trying always to be on 3G when the coverage is poor drained the battery to 20% in a 2 hour period, with push off, screen down, wifi off local settings off.
Anybody have any benchmarks on the amount of draining happens during the phone trying to always scan for a 3G connection?

While I don't have any true benchmarks, I can say that I've tested the battery life with personal usage both with 3G on and 3G off for a day to see what was up with my extremely poor battery life. I can say that turning 3G off made a huge difference for me. It increased the battery life of my iPhone 3G to about what it was with my original iPhone. I can say that I'm probably getting roughly 1.5x - 2x the battery life I was with 3G enabled by just turning it off.
With 3G on but little to no coverage, the phone is ramping up the work it's doing to try to obtain and keep that connection. If it's just not available, you'll definitely see the phone's battery draining faster than normal as it tries to acquire signal. Remember the days of poor phone coverage in general? Phones drained batteries in much the same way.
Sure, it ***** to turn 3G off since it's something that I'm basically paying for but I'd much rather have a phone that makes it through an entire day of usage rather than one I'm finding I have to be careful about how much I use it just so I don't have to charge it twice in one day. It's more desirable to me to be able to use my phone for a longer period of time than to have a fast data connection. Besides, WiFi isn't as big of a battery drainer as the 3G connection is so I'm perfectly content with switching that on if I need fast web access. Also, there's nothing stopping me from turning 3G back on when I'm in a good coverage area (basically anywhere outside around here... I'm in Orange County, too) at which point the battery performance is better anyway.

  • BlackBerry's inability to switch back to EDGE when the WiFi connection loses Internet connectivity

    This issue has been driving me crazy for a while now, but here goes:
    The city I live in has a poor reception from T-Mobile, AT&T, and other providers.  I have to rely on my home wireless connection sometimes to get emails on my  phone.   So, instead of using "Mobile Network Preferred" option under Connection Preferences, I set it to Wi-Fi Preferred.
    However, Wi-Fi preferred option comes at a great cost, with the inability to switch back to the Mobile Network if the connection to the Wi-Fi is lost.
    For example, assuming if the phone is connected to a router, based on the following diagram:
    Blackberry >>>>> Wireless Router >>>> Modem >>>> Internet Service Provider
    If the modem loses connection with the Internet Service Provider, or if the Service Provider is down for maintenance, the BlackBerry will have no knowledage of any of these events, and will stay connected to the wireless router until the wireless reception is lost or degraded to a certain percentage.
    So, rather than basing the metric on the reception,  is there a program out there that can send out ping echos to a specified destination?  One ping for every 5 minute interval.  if 3 consecutive pings are lost, the phone should switch back to Mobile Network, assuming if the user did not set their phone to Wi-Fi only.
    Thank you.

    Sorry for the problems you're having with this hotspot losing connection so frequently. For you I have included specific troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue. 
    1. Remove the battery from your phone and leave off for a full minute
    2. Re-insert battery and power phone on
    3. Dial *228 and choose option 2
    4. When the programming has been completed, press OK and your phone will power off, then back on. 
    5. Reset your password for your Hotspot
    6. Update the password on your phone as well. This will help avoid any corrupt connection you may have had previously. 
    To reset the password for your Hotspot: Settings > Wireless and Networks > WiFi Settings > Manage Networks > long press on the network you want to modify > Enter new password
    Alternately, you can long press on the network you want to modify and select "Forget this network", then back out and re-join it at which point it'll prompt you for a password.
    Hope this helps! 
    Thanks, 

  • When are you going to get rid of your "this is embarrassing message"? it is highly annoying and I may switch back to IE because of it.

    This message pops up after a crash. Of course it is embarrassing to you. Do I need to know how you feel about it? Mainly it is annoying to me that it crashed. I don't want to know what you think or that you're sorry. Just fix it. It's not cute. It's not clever. I have started using Internet Explorer more and more to avoid this eyesore.

  • Switch back from Mavericks to Mountain Lion

    I have tried to switch back from Mavericks to Mountain Lion, due to the battery drain problem, following the steps included in the tutorial https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6162
    The problem is that when I format the HD and I click on 'Install' it appears a big screen which says 'Install Mavericks". I want to install Mountain Lion (that I have in the pendrive), or at least Lion, but I am unable to do that, there is no option to choose any other operating system. Is there a way to rollback to any previous system?
    If not, would it be possible to extract the HD from the computer, format it completely (including the recovery partition) in another computer, install it again in the original computer and perform a clean install from my pendrive?
    I have no external drive with Time Machine or similar.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have got a Time Machine backup created in OS X Mountain Lion, connect the external drive with the backup, hold the Option key while your computer is starting and choose the external drive. Then, select the option to restore the Time Machine backup and follow the steps. Note that your hard drive will be erased.
    If your Mac came with Lion or Mountain Lion, you can use Internet Recovery by holding down Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting up. Use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive and reinstall OS X or restore the backup

  • IOS 5.0.1 Battery Drain Bug: Edge Network

    I think I may have identified a use case that is causing significant battery draining on the current iOS 5.0.1. The use case is when a 3G enabled device switches to an Edge network signal, it increases battery drainage significantly on the Edge network. This includes draining the battery while in standby. Enabling or disabling location services makes little difference. Phone does heat up on Edge, even on standby. Phone behaves normally while on 3G network.

    I would be interested to see if anyone else has thought to field test the below scenarios:
    Being on the Edge Network by itself causes significant battery life drain
    If the process of switching betweeen 3G and Edge networks (network search process) causes the battery drain.
    Does battery life behave normally when on 3G, with no network interruptions?
    Does battery life behave normally when on WiFi, with no network interruptions?
    Does battery life behave normally when device is in Airplane mode?
    Does battery life significantly drain when 3G is disabled on device?

  • [SOLVED] Switching back to ALSA from OSS

    Good day fellow Archites,
    I am trying to get my audio working after another fresh install (I am getting good at this).
    The pertinent hardware is as follows:
    Mobo: ASUS P5G41T-M LX PLUS
    Sound: Onboard (Realtek ALC887 Chipset)
    The sound did not work after getting Arch to a good point (ie having KDE installed and pretty much everything else working).
    Arch however did detect the audio hardware, I just had no sound. I followed every wiki I could find on this and still no luck
    So I switched to OSS because I saw that Realtek seems to be a proponent of OSS, this didn't work very well and it didn't detect my audio card at all after this. (KDE/Phonon is prompting me to remove the previously installed hardware - I didn't do it)
    Promptly I tried to switch back. I think this is where I messed up.
    I couldn't find any sort of guide on switching from OSS back to ALSA, so I simply used "pacman -Rdds oss" hoping it would reverse the blacklisting process that it does to ALSA.
    After a reboot, KDE still prompted me still to remove the previously detected hardware because it is no longer there, meaning UDev isn't detecting it (I think).
    So my big question, how do I go from OSS back to ALSA properly?
    How do I re-enable the ALSA modules that are loaded on Arch boot?
    I have nothing in /etc/modprobe.d - there are no blacklisting files/configurations at all and I am at a loss.
    Thank you my nerdy genius's, or would it be genuii?

  • Hi, I'm having a problem with my first gen. iPad switching back to the apps page by itself.  This started after upgrading to ios5.  It will do this from safari or kindle.  I have turned it off manually as suggested by a tech rep. without any improvement.

    Hi,
    My 1stgen iPad keeps. Switching back to the apps. Pages by itself after installing ios5.  I have shut it down manually as suggestedby a tech rep but the problem still exists.
    Thanks,  Jim

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3754
    59&tstart=0
    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.
    btabz
    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • Switching back to ADSL from infinity

    I live a long way from my green cabinet (1.5Km) , and have been disappointed with the upgrade from ADSL to Infinity ( or actually Unlimited Faster Broadband )
    I used to get 2.1M downlad speeds  on ADSL, and this has risen only to 2.5M on Infinity/UFB. Both speeds are well short of the worst case estimate provided on BTWholesale checker for my telephone number. 
    An Openreach engineer was called and repaired 3 seperate faults on the (aluminium) cable from the cabinet to my house.   The engineer was happy that the line quality improved ( red lights on his box of tricks were now green), but sadly the speed did not increase - after 10 days it is stable at 2.5M.
    My question is this -  Although the improved line quality did not increase the speed of infinity connection,  would it increase the ADSL speed from its original 2.1M  if I switched back  Is there a reliable way of finding out, because If I switch back and it is still  pants , BT are no longer accepting orders for infinity here, and I would have lost the admittedly small increase that infinity brought me. 
    thanks

  • I need help switching back to iPhoto

    In February of this year I switched from iPhoto to Aperture for very specific reasons. My laptop's hard drive was running out of space, as it was housing my photo library that was quickly approaching 25,000 photos and pushing about 30 Gigabytes, and I wanted to take advantage of Aperture's ability to store photo masters on an external drive.
    So why switch back? When I described why I had switched and my experiences doing so back in February I had said that I ran into many problems all of which I was able to solve save two:
    "The two things I have yet to solve, which are rather large things: 1) Spotlight can no longer find my photos since switching to [edit: from] iPhoto. I am really not sure where to start with fixing this so I think I’m just going to have to ask someone. 2) Reorganizing my keywords in Aperture (since I had them set up in iPhoto) is impossible. When I bring up the Keywords HUD, I’m greeted with all of my keywords residing subordinately to a master keyword of 'iPhoto'. When I try to access the keywords that are “below” iPhoto Aperture freezes. Perhaps I have too many keywords (I do have an awful lot). I’m not sure how to solve this one yet either. Maybe there is a raw .plist file that I can manually edit (and I am willing to do so)." -- Me.
    After using Aperture for the past 3+ months I've yet to resolve either of these issues. Recently there was an update to Aperture from Apple that, according to the documentation for the update, was supposed to help resolve my second issue with having too many keywords for Aperture to handle - but it hasn't helped much. So since switching to Aperture I've not tagged more than maybe fifty photos, which is discouraging because I know that once I switch back to iPhoto I'm going to be busy tagging photos again.
    So I suppose you could say I'm switching back for two main reasons. First, I want it to be much easier to tag my photos since that is probably the single most important thing to me and the experience with iPhoto and Keyword Manager ( http://www.bullstorm.se/KeywordManager.php ) is far superior to that of using keywords in Aperture. Second, I want my photos to start showing up in Spotlight searches again. I'm more than willing to deal with the caveat, albeit a rather large one, that I won't have my photos with me wherever I go anywhere but that they'll forever reside on my firewire drive.
    What I need help with...
    When I open iPhoto I see all of the previews for the photos that I had the day I switched to Aperture. However, the originals have been moved by Aperture onto my firewire drive - so when I click on each photo all I get is a ( ! ) symbol. The previews still reference a file that does not exist yet the iPhoto database still retains all of the relevant metadata (date/time, keywords, comments, etc) that I had worked so hard to put into iPhoto. I need to retain this information and somehow get the originals back into place so that iPhoto sees them again.
    What I thought about doing was this: 1) Somehow restore the originals for the almost 25,000 photos into the place where iPhoto thinks they should be. 2) Move the entire library to my external firewire drive. 3) Import the remaining images that I've taken since switching to Aperture into iPhoto.
    Since I have Aperture store my photos by date - importing only the images that I've imported into Aperture should be a piece of cake. I do not need to retain any metadata from Aperture since I've only tagged a few photos in Aperture and all of the other information I may need should be on the original file (like date taken, etc.). I know I'm going to lose a lot of edits that I've done like cropping, rotating, color balancing, red-eye reduction, etc. but I'm more than willing to lose all of that if it means that I can pick up where I left off and get back into the swing of things in iPhoto.
    I've Googled like crazy and haven't found someone doing exactly what I'm trying to accomplish so any help with my current situation is greatly appreciated. I've also posted this on my blog http://cdevroe.com/notes/back-to-iphoto/

    2) Reorganizing my keywords in Aperture (since I had them set up in iPhoto) is impossible. When I bring up the Keywords HUD, I’m greeted with all of my keywords residing subordinately to a master keyword of 'iPhoto'.
    Bear with me, my terminology may not be right. I'm heading in the opposite direction, and one of the advantages i see to Aperture is that I've got the same advantages in Keyword management as I have with KM in iPhoto.
    Have you tried re-organising them using the control bar: Below the thumbs there's a drop down menu, by default it shows Photo Descriptors. Click on it and Select 'Edit Buttons'. You can merrily re-organise your Keywords in this window, and even have your changes reflected in live in the HUD.
    As to the Spotlight searching, I'm afraid someone else will need to help on that one. Personally - and it's a regular on the iPhoto forums - I've never had much luck getting Spotlight to search within iPhoto for keywords, apart, of course, from using the search window in the iPhoto Window. I suspect a system-based search of iPhoto keywords is simply not possible.
    What I thought about doing was this: 1) Somehow restore the originals for the almost 25,000 photos into the place where iPhoto thinks they should be.
    That will work, but they'll need to be exactly as they were.
    2) Move the entire library to my external firewire drive.
    Easily done, after you've copied it over launch iPhoto holding down the option (or alt) key and choose 'Locate'. Navigate to the new location and that''ll be your default iPhoto Library Folder thereafter.
    3) Import the remaining images that I've taken since switching to Aperture into iPhoto.
    That should work too.
    But the key is, can you return the iPhoto Library Folder exactly as it was, otherwise you'll need to create and populate a new library - and that will inevitable mean losing your keywords in iPhoto too.
    FWIW, I need to keep iPhoto going for others in the household who are daunted by Aperture. My solution is a referenced library pointing towards the iPhoto Library Folder / Originals folder.

    Safari problem:  when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows.  What's going on?  Just started yesterday.  I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
    I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success.  What's going on and how can I fix it?
    Thanks,
    Cindi B
    PS:  I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

    A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    As for which OS X is installed.
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    The version is noted there.
    v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion  v10.8 Mountain Lion
    It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

  • Can you switch back between CS5 and CS5.5 with the same project with Premiere??

    Hey all,
    I just got CS5.5 for Mac (Lion) and was wondering if i am able to save a project and open it with CS5 Premiere because I work with one other editor who has CS5. I have tested saving a project in CS5.5 and opening it in CS5 but it says that it needs to convert first but then it seems to work fine. So basically, is there workflow good between the 2? Any known issues or anything else i should know about when switching back and forth?
    Also, I have the student edition of CS5.5 and was wondering how many times can I install it? I plan on buying a new computer in a few months from now but currently have 2 and was wondering if i should install it on both my current computers and then deactivate one and install it on my new computer in the future? Or is there a limit and that will not work?
    Thanks!!

    Because it has to create a new "version" of your project every time you go back and forth, you'll end up with umpteen versions if you go back and forth every time which could become a nightmare for you... And because it creates new "versions" every time, you're far more likely to end up with a corrupted file at some point... I'd stay away of going back and forth between versions...
    As an aside, does anyone know if you can go back and forth between the same version (CS5.5) on different platforms (Mac/PC)? I may need to start doing that soon at work, and I've never tried...

  • My iMac20 powers off by itself and won't switch back on

    I'm sorry this is a bit of a saga but I'm at the end of my tether with so will be really grateful if anyone has any experience of this issue and can give me some help?
    The problem started in May when, after an hour or so of use, my iMac 20 suddenly started to turn itself off and wouldn't turn back on again until the following day. This happened around half a dozen times so I took the machine to the local Apple store and was told that it was probably the thermal trip and if I removed the power cord and left it disconnected for a while, it would power up again more quickly. That evening when it cut out, I followed the advice I was given and removed the power cord from the back of the machine but it made no difference and the machine would not restart until the following morning. Back to the Apple store I went and this time they took the machine in to the workshop; a day or two later I was told that they had cleaned out the fans and tweaked some software and had run it successfully on the bench for several hours with no problem. After paying £49, I collected the machine, took it home, ran it for an hour or so and off it went again and as before, refused to turn on. Back again to the Apple store; "Had I reloaded the operating system?" Well no, because I hadn't been told that I needed to. And anyway why would I... surely the thermal cut-out was a hardware issue? The response was that the problem was definitely software-based and nothing to do with overheating or a faulty power supply unit (which was/is my favourite candidate for villain of the piece). So off home I went, backed up my stuff and ran Disc One successfully and started running Disc Two. After about 20 minutes into Disc Two the machine did its usual trick and powered off, and I went looking for a bottle of wine.
    Back to the Apple store. The guy controlling the 'guest list' for the Genius Bar said that if I wanted to return the machine to the workshop that day it would be considered a new incident and there would be a further charge for any repair work. However, if I made a fresh appointment (for a couple of days later) then the work would be done as part of the previous 'repair'. Somebody at Apple really needs to look at the way the stores deal with dissatisfied customers.
    So, Saturday the 11th of July arrives and I head back to the Genius Bar for my free appointment. I explained to a very helpful guy that this is my fifth visit and I would like to get to the bottom of the problem. He referred to the tech person who dealt with the original workshop repair and she came out to explain that the issue is caused by 'something' lurking in my Library folder and that if I wipe my hard drive and re-install the OS from scratch but without the Library folder, the problem should be solved.
    I spent Sunday wiping the hard drive, running the OS discs and then reinstating my iTunes, photos etc and waiting for the machine to turn itself off - but it didn't! I left my external hard drive returning all my files and documents overnight and when I woke up on Monday, everything was still up and running... bliss!
    Then, this afternoon, after downing loading a music file in flac format, I found that it wouldn't go into iTunes without the help of Fluke software. I downloaded the Fluke stuff and then as I dragged the flac file into iTunes - boof! The machine went off and won't switch back on again.
    So finally... has anyone seen any similar behaviour with their iMac and was it caused by software or hardware? And if it is software that's causing the problem, why can't I switch the machine on again immediately?
    ,

    Amsys plc, the company Apple uses for off-site repairs returned my iMac20 today and the accompanying advice note states that the fault was resolved by replacing the power supply unit. I am really grateful to Apple for finally getting to the bottom of the problem, particularly as the repair was done free of charge, although I had already paid £49 for a useless workshop investigation at the Kingston store. The service given by Amsys was exemplary... the collection and return of the machine was carried out at the times promised and whenever I contacted the company by phone, each person I spoke to seemed to have knowledge of the repair without having to refer to the case notes (and none of the 'press 1 for service, 2 for sales...' rubbish).
    So once again BDAqua, many thanks for suggesting I call Apple... it's just a shame that the staff of the Kingston store refused to accept what was obvious to me.

  • I was initially in the UK apps store and i switched to the USA apps store with an itunes gift card..since then i cannot see my previous purchases in the UK store,, now i'm back in the UK and want to switch back using a £15 itunes gift card but can't..HELP

    I was initially in the UK apps store and i switched to the USA apps store with a $15 itunes gift card because my credit card from the UK expired..since the switch i couldn't find my previous purchases in the UK store,, now i'm back in the UK and want to switch back using a £15 itunes gift card but whenever i try to switch, itunes tells me i still have credit on my existing US gift card, meanwhile i only have $0.22 which can't buy anything at the apps store..how dow i clear up the balance and switch to the UK apps store...HELP!!!

    You might just have to contact Apple and ask them to remove it (losing it). Usually people clear a balance by buying one song and having the exact remainder charged  to their credit card, but if you don't have a US credit card you cannot do that.
