After updating to ios7 my 4S keeps dropping calls and having a bad connection?

I recently received a refurbished "like new" 4S from Verizon, which was working fine until I did the ios7 update. I did a network reset and that didn't help, and then I did a hard reset and still the same problem. Is this a phone issue? or a Verizon issue? I've heard of other Verizon customers having the same problem. Everytime I make a phone call I have bad connection and then the call just drops. In places, I used to have a 5 bar signal, I now have 2. What else can I do to fix this?

reset all settings
settings-general-reset-reset all settings
now reconnect to wifi
settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
if issue persists back up and restore as new via iTunes
Peace, Clyde

AngelMunoz2011,
I am sorry to hear about your troubles with service on your phone. We definitely want to make sure that you are always receiving the best service options. What zip in general are you having the most trouble in? How many bars of signal are you typically getting? Could you try clearing the cache on your device http://vz.to/KRifEf and also try removing/reinserting your 4g sim card. We are here to help, so please keep us updated.
Thank you,

HELP!! My iphone 6 keeps dropping calls and I have a verizon extender

Hi,
My iPhone 6 my Carrier is Verizon my iPhone 6 has been dropping calls I think it’s only when I’m home and also we have a cellphone booster aka Verizon Extender and it does connect to that also but when someone calls me it connects then drops right away and then I try right away to call them back and then the call goes though. I have tried a hard reset on my iPhone 6 I have tried just by turning on and off the airplane mode and I have tried resetting the network settings which I just did. I thought of maybe doing the part when you take your sim card out and put that back in but I have not done that yet! I don't know what to do if this keeps happing it is really annoying! Can you please help me! Thanks Also I have looked online of how to fix it but have not come up with anything yet

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Netflix craches after updating to IOS7 on Apple TV, both 2nd and 3rd Gen

Apple TV crashes after about 6 seconds of playing Netflix content. This happens on both my 2nd as well as 3rd Generation Apple TV's. Have done hard reboot twice to assure the latest software is loaded, Currently running 6.0 (build 6646.65)
Anybody else having this issue?

I have this problem too. My Apple TV 3rd gen with the same software build will crash and reboot multiple times in one day when starting a Netflix stream. It usually happens about 6 seconds after pressing play.
With the previous software version 5.3, almost every time I started a Netfilx stream, the screen would go black or freeze after about 6 seconds but the audio would keep playing. Version 6.0 has actually made my Netflix experience better in that if the content keeps playing there is both video and audio. Hopefully, the next update will fix the crashes though. I've reported the bug to Apple and have my Apple TV set to send data to Apple.

Trouble after updating to ios7

After updating to ios7, I can't use imessaging and get notifications to connect to iTunes to use push notifications...I don't have a computer I can use to restore my phone...what do I do?

I have the same problem as you. iMessage has been "waiting for activation" over 12 hours now, and I get the same message everytime I use an app that requires notifications. You can restore from an iCloud backup, if you had iCloud backups enabled. Restoring the phone might fix it, but this is likely related to server problems which Apple usually experiences during an upgrade. Many people are having this issue.

Webdav login on mobile network after update to IOS7

Hi
I am unable to login to webdav when on mobile network after update to IOS7, it just keeps asking me to login, but when i'm on wireless it works.
annyone else experinced this? or know of a fix?
Best regards

Hi, MargretheHostgaard.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection. The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

When I try to update to ios7 . I keep being told that I am not connected to the Internet, which I am.

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go. Try the update again.

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.

After updating to IOS7 I have lost a years worth of pictures and my wi-fi keeps dropping out. Anyone have any suggestions?

After updating to IOS7 I have lost a years worth of pictures and my wi-fi keeps dropping out. Anyone have any similar problems or suggestions?

Re wifi:
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

After updating to iOS7.2 my home screen shakes

After updating to iOS7.2 my home screan keeps shaking. Does anyone else have this problem?

The text messages I write also fail to show up when i open a conversation and all I see are texts I relieved and big blank spaces where my texts should be.

I lost lots of apps after updating to ios7. Can I go back to ios6?

I lost lots of apps after updating to ios7. I hate the look of it and I think it is not as easy to use. Can I go back to ios6?

Hi,
You cannot. It's not supported by Apple actually, so if you downgrade they cannot help you.
However, make sure that all your apps are not in a different page, so keep swiping to the left just in case they are hidden at a first glance.
You can use the App store app to download all your purchased items.

IPad won't turn on after update to ios7

After updating to ios7 on my iPad, it would keep resetting itself and show the apple logo until finally starting up. Over a few days this got worse and worse and eventually stopped working where I would have to hold the home and on/off buttons to reset it. I have now reached a point where it no longer starts up. Having went to an apple store they say they can't identify the issue as they can't start it up and offered me to pay £199 to have it replaced (how very nice of them). I have had online chats with an advisor and a senior advisor who have diagnosed this as a 'hardware' issue!!!
Guess what apple, no it is not, this is a result of the updgrade to ios7!!! My iPad worked perfect before and I will not be paying £199 to replace it!!!
If anybody else has had similar problems please let me know.
Thanks.

Try this reset ...
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, restore the iPad > Tunes: Restoring iOS software

My wi-fi on my iPhone 4S is not working after updating to ios7 and is a few weeks out of warranty, the Apple store wants me to pay £160 for a new one, are they joking?!
