Carrier signal is poor in iOS7

After installing iOS7, my iP5 has a very poor/variable carrier signal strength. iP5 is on EE in the UK. Has anyone else got this problem?

Hi John,
This has been really frustrating for many of us Apple lovers. Almost everyone in my family owns two or more Apple products, until this mess.
My daughter was due for a new phone and then IOS 7 made hers useless, to the point where she is able to make calls on a rare occasion because it constantly goes into searching mode. So as of yesterday she went to the other side and bought an android phone and loves it. My son now because of his IOS 7 issues, is asking for an Android and my wife is unable to use her IPad half the time due to searching while on cell or dropping Wi Fi every 30 seconds, is now asking for a Windows Tablet.
Their point, and a valid one, is if I have a device that I purchased to do a specific task, such as make and receive calls and it won't do that, it is useless and why pay for it.
Apple is losing long time customers because they have taken once valuable tools and toys and created high priced paper weights of them. I use my IPad for business and must say that with it being unreliable now, I am also looking at the windows tablet so that I can do my job.
Apple, please address this soon or at a minimum, acknowledge the issue

Poor carrier signal

Since upgrading to iOS 4.2.1 has anyone had any trouble holding onto a carrier signal.
I seem to be in a constant search for networks situation.even when a signal is found it drops out very quickly and searches all over again.
Haven't been able to use phone effectively for almost a week now
Any ideas from anyone

Same here.. Now Is Good to throw IT out of The window. Any solution?

My iPhone carrier signal strength is not good

I have a "case" open with Apple for poor carrier signal strength after upgrading my iP5 to iOS7.
Please make sure you open a case with Apple.

Hi Samantha,
Are you aware that if you restore your ipad that you will lose all data from your ipad and very difficult to get it back unless you had previously made a back-up of your data on itunes or in the cloud. and that would be on the computer you set those up on. (There are some independent apps out there that might help restore data but I don't have any experience with them...)
Also, I think if you restore on another computer you're supposed to have administrator rights and have the latest itunes update. And I think if you sync (if restoring is considered syncing with another computer, you'll be locked out of your computer or a new one.)
I don't know if there is a way for you to safely eject your ipad from your mom's laptop and find another way, but please read this
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
Also, I suggest you start a new post and title it something like First, stuck on update and now on Restore on another computer. Please HELP! And then tell the story of your problem that you originally included and your follow-up efforts to restore given a suggestion on previous post (though I think you SHOULD AVOID RSTORE if you can.) And refer them to your original post
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22050045?ac_cid=tw123456#22050045
Hope this helps and if you can get back to your ios before the upgrade, stay with it. I hope it all works out for you.
FYI - If it's a new or refurb bought within the past year you might be able to have it replaced by Apple.

TS4003 HOW CAN I TURN OFF ICLOUD TO INPORT MY ORIGINAL MUSIC TO MY IPHONE INTERNAL MEMORY, SO THAT I CAN HEAR IT EVERYWHERE IN THE WORD WITH OUT THE NEED OF A WI-FI CONEXION OR A TELEPHONE CARRIER SIGNAL, LIKE BEFORE ICLOUD WAS INVENTED?

PLEASE TEACH ME HOW TO INPORT MY MUSIC WITHOUT USING ICLOUD WICH I SUSCRIBE THINKING THAT IT COUD BE EVERYWHERE. BUT I DISCOVER THAT IT ONLY WORKS WITH A WI-FI CONECTION OR WHERE I CAN RECIEVE MY CARRIER SIGNAL. SOME PLACES I DO NOT HAVE NEITHER.
HOW CAN I IMPORT ALL MY ITUNES MUSIC WITHOUT USING ICLOUD AND USING MY IPHONE INTERNAL MEMORY LIKE IN THE EARLY DAYS?
PLEASE SHOW ME STEP BY STEP BECAUSE I TRIED EVERYTHIG IN MY NEW IPHONE 4GS WITHOUT NO LUCK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

My iphone 4 Carrier signal is very weak just shows one bar and often shows No Service followed by searching and again one signal bar I have had a lot of drop calls, I have tested the sim card on my Samsung Ace which shows full Signal strength I am on the latest iphone firmware 5.1.1 with 4.12.01 baseband I have tried resetting the iphone did o full restore twice. I guess there is something wrong with the iphone hardware? Has anyone had similar issues and how they fixed it?

Take the device to Apple or an Apple authorized service center and let them check it out.

Recovering carrier signal from AM demodulation

Hi everybody
I am trying to implement a full AM system I able to modulate and demodulate the baseband signal but could not create carrier signal.So any help would be thankful....Niladri

Hello Ramsey,
I assume you are trying to capture these AM signals and compare their relative phases all against each other. Sort of like saying the AM 1300 carrier is X degress in phase different from the AM 1530 carrier.
This is what I would do. I would use the full PXI-5661 RF analyzer and capture the entire AM band in the acquisition. This is roughly a 1 MHz bandwidth. At this low bandwidth, a low IQ sample rate can be used with the PXI-5661 (1.25 MSamples/sec gives the PXI-5661 a 1 MHz IQ data BW). With this low IQ rate, you could actually stream the entire AM band to hard drive for some time.
Since you have recorded the AM band to disk for a period of time, you can extract all the relative phase information you want. And the receiver reference is the same for all acquired data so the only variation will be due to the Tx side.
Look at this example:

Carrier signal drop in ios8

hi guys. recently updated my iphone 5s to ios8. after the update the carrier signal is dropping frequently. it doesnt happen in ios 7.1.2. any fix for this one?

I'm having the same issue. I upgraded via iTunes and it froze so I had to restore my phone. When I restart the phone after a power down it works great for awhile and then the carrier keeps disappearing and the battery level plummets. Restarting phone provides a temporary fix but is annoying. My wife's iPhone was upgraded wirelessly and she did not have the freeze up or the problem with dropping carrier.

Iphone 4s performance very poor after iOS7 update

Hi Guys,
I just thought i'd post my experience on my iphone 4s...
First of all the phone is approx 18 months old.
The phone was perfect until I updated to the popular IOS7 update, cough!!!!
Heres what's happening...
iPhone probs since IOS7 update
First of all the phone never missed a beat until ios7 update. Please don't insult me apple and tell me that this is a coincidence.
-Batt perc poor accuracy readings, sticks on amount for long period until reset, thereafter reads incorrect again. Last week was reading 93% but was actually flat.
-Batt can read low, phone freezes, reboots on its own & batt will then read at a higher perc.
-Phone freezing and rebooting on its own intermittently, either has to be physically switched on (from black screen) or white apple appears & it switches itself on.
-Select msgs or email - white screen appears only.
-Have to reset phone on numerous occasions due to lack of or no response.
-After reset all messages, emails, notifications etc come in all at once
-Will get bulk messages, even from same people.
-Will not open messages or email at times, poss due to signal loss while phone shows still signal bars (States switch in wifi or network)
-Loss wifi all the time, doesn't work at all now. (oddly it worked again in the apple store which left me really baffled?)
-Search for email now poor
-App Store search poor, loading poor
-Alarm clock not working at times
-Switching off on its own
-No response from screen at times and accassional delays when it does work
-Battery drain excessive, even when not being used! I have switched any hidded consumers off
-Very jaggy/not smooth in operation at times
-Opening app, settings etc take too long. An app might 'blink' i.e. Flash off then back on.
-Wifi on at access screen but switched off in settings and therefore can not select on option
There could be a battery issue here but only since ios7 update has this all came into play. I used to really like the phone and enjoyed using it.
I was at the apple store yesterday and the guy showed me that my battery was borderline 79 -80% condition (orange).
He mentioned that there also may be software issues so I am now going to carry out a full retore from new,and post back during the week.
If a company from any technical background that deals with software, and hardware, and the the system or particular part of the network/system/hardware lays down, then you must stand by it.
I am due an update apple if you're listening, but if a battery is going to last only a year and a half or less then I very well may take my chances with another manufacturer. I just can't be bothered with hassle and the thought in my mind waiting on the phone battery failing at some time.
I understand the technology behind it all but maybe apple need to look at the consumption side of things more than the makng a stronger battery. Maybe consider a secondary system using small second battery or solar, with temperature regulation of some sort. Another approach would be to have a primary system (for calls, texts and maybe limited internet) and a secondary system (for apps etc etc) simply controlled by a type of switch/relay/regulator i.e. if the battery drops below 25% you will not get to use secondary systems keeping your phone usable in terms of making calls, which the mobile phone was intended, remember!!!!
I called my phone network company and they said they would cover the bill for a new battery as the guy in apple store suggested would fix the powering issues.
P.S. I emailed apple about this last week, got an auto response stating we'll get back to you in 24 hours, and guess what, they didn't.

I have a similar problem. I have an iPhone 4s that was working perfectly. Almost immediately upon upgrading to iOS7 I noticed that the battery began to drain much quicker. This morning when I tried to recharge the battery it would not recharge. I followed brad805's suggestions. When I took it to the Genius Bar they attempted to remove the battery and directly power the phone from a cable and that did not work. The phone is now completely dead and because it is past the one year warranty period, there is little that the people at the Apple Store can do to help me. I took very good care of the phone when I owned it and there were no incidents to the phone in the time since I upgraded to iOS7. I strongly believe that the upgrade to iOS7 is the contributing factor to this phone failure.
Is there a mechanism to register a complaint with Apple? I understand that phones fail from time to time but based on the posts I am seeing on the internet, I fear that there are additional instances like mine.

Loss of carrier signal, unable to get it back until I restart my iPhone 4

I received my unlocked iPhone 4 from the online Apple Store yesterday. Overall, I haven't noticed the death-grip issue. I think.
However, I've seen the following happen twice today while at my office:
- After carrying the phone in my back pocket for some period of time, I take it out only to discover that there is no carrier info available (no "Fido" tag, no signal-strength bars).
- No matter how much I wave the phone around or wait, I never get a signal even where I previously had full-signal strength.
- I look in Settings and the "Carrier" option is no longer there, so I can't even scan for Fido's network.
At this point, I have to restart the iPhone. Once it restarts, everything seems to be normal again. I get a full-strength indicator and the "Carrier" option is now once again available in the Settings menu.
Has this been reported before? An Apple rep installed the microsim card yesterday during activation, so I'm wondering if the SIM card just needs to be re-seated? (I don't have my SIM-eject tool with me at the moment.)
Would appreciate any help with this!

I had a similar problem when I was on holiday on Cyprus. The first day I had a connection. The second day, when I turned my iPhone on, I wasn't able to connect to any provider though the providers were listed. I tried several things (reset phone, reset network settings etc.) but nothing worked.
Then suddenly a few days later, my iPhone connected to the local network! The next day I deliberately turned off and on my iPhone again and the problems were back. However, after a few tries manually selecting a provider, I had a connection again. I asked my telephone company in the Netherlands what the problem could be, but they had no answer.
When I returned home, everything worked fine again. I also tested my iPhone in Germany and it worked OK there as well.
So, I don't know what happened on Cyprus and I can't reproduce the problem at home. I thought I share this because I'm still anxious to know what the problem was.

3GS external speakers no longer work and significantly diminished recognization of carrier signal

Recently my IPhone 3GS has, through events unknown to me, stopped emitting any sound from the external speakers (sound quality is perfectly fine from headset). Also, signal strength has become almost entirely diminished, and most often "No Carrier" is displayed (have an additional IPhone 3GS on same firmware without any problems, and is actually a few months older). Not sure if the phone is still covered under warranty, since the weblink is not functioning. Was wondering, even though it may not be under Apple's "Limited Warranty" due to duration of time since purchase, will an exchange for a refurb or possibly a service request be compensated? Just wondering what my options are, especially since I am under a business plan through AT&T and have multiple IPhones for coworkers/"friends" including 3-3GS's and a recent IPhone 4 (not to mention my personal IPod Classic for my evening jogging).

If its under warranty thenmaybe Apple will fix it, they are very easy to come by search "iPhones 3gsdock connector" on eBay and this will show you exactly how to take the phone apart to get to the dock connector, I have brought one from eBay today as I have been having antenna problems with my phone hopefully that will fix it, anyway here is the guide to the iPhone disassembly.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-iPhone-3GS-Dock-Connector/1546/1
3Gs' are very easy to takeapart all you need is a small Philips screw driver and a suction pad.
Hope it goes well

Why does my iphone lose signal since upgrading to ios7

Since I upgraded to ios7, my iphone 5 constantly loses signal. It does so just about every 10-15 minutes. I have tried reseting my network settings, I switch to airplane mode, I do a hard reset. And nothing works. Prior to upgrading I never had this problem, now its constant. I am going to try to get a new sim card, but since this only started when I upgraded (almost the exact moment), I dont see that fixing it. I have to try to resend almost every text message, and safari pages never load. I have even been trying for days to post this question, but finally gave up and used my computer. I would really appreciate any help

Perfect.
With a iPhone keyboard lag since installed iOS7,
thanks to pvonk who said :
"Settings>General>Reset>all settings"
and it's go on very well....

No signal or poor reception in nyc

so the building i work verizon phones are useless inside. no reception at all not. maybe others have the issue in buildings in nyc

We are using Verizon Wireless family plan, and we suffer from poor reception both at home and at work, here at South Hackensack NJ, just 10 minutes away from NYC, one of Verizon's strongest markets. We usually have 1 bar or 2, if we're lucky, and data is usually only 3G, or very slow 4G. It's been like this since we switched to Verizon last year. If we didn't have ongoing contracts, I would've definitely switched to another carrier (T-Mobile and AT&T have excellent reception for both data and voice).
I hope someone looks into this problem we're having at zip code 07606.
Thanks.
