Does my iphone 4s support GSM service?  I recently upgraded to this smartphone from a AT

Does my iphone 4s support GSM service?  I recently upgraded to this smartphone from an AT&T Non-smartphone and now I am not able to access data coverage at my cabin upnorth. AT&T says I only have GSM coverage in this location.  Is there something I can do to make my iphone 4s do to pick this service up?

That model shows as non-CDMA iPhone 4s

It will support GSM. You will have to work with your carrier to
get the signal improved. In the past, with AT&T, if you complained
enough they would provide you with a MiFi device - but that only
helps if you have an internet connection already in place.
Your problem may be due to the remote location - particularly if you
are not in cell phone range due to lack of towers. But the responsibility
belongs to the AT&T. Is the problem that you can make/get phone
calls but do not have enough bandwidth for streaming video/audio?
Or is there no connection whatsoever?

    I assume you mean Voice over LTE (VoLTE)? If so, I do not believe it does. It certainly doesn't with my carrier (Verizon).

  • Does the iPhone 6  support use of bluetooth enabled mouse?

    Does the iPhone 6  support use of bluetooth enabled mouse?

    I'd really like to think so as well, who's using a tempered glass for the screen an a similar film/glass for the backplate that can shed some realistic light on this query? help is much appreciated.
    people tend to get a bit hysterical when they see my uncased 4s, and yet after 2.5 it is still in better shape than everyone else's.....so if that's gonna be the case with the 6 plus I'll be satisfied.
    I understand the 6 (and 6 plus) have a cureved screen and that most glass protectors are a bit dorky and dont go all the way to the end. would ones that go all the way be more fragile and by that endanger the screen or is full coverage better? is there a suggested tempered glass protector for the 6 plus?

  • Does jms distributed queue support automatic service migration?

    As the migration document of Weblogic mentioned, the jms distributed queue can be manually migrated, but the document doesn't talk about automatic migration of jms distributed queue. Does jms distributed queue support automatic service migration? Anybody can help me? Thanks a lot.

    When you look at configuring JMS, you do something like:
    Create a JMS server that will contain one or more JMS destinations and will live on a particular server instance.
    Next you create a JMS module and target it to a cluster. Within the module you create a distributed queue (destination).
    Note that it is the JMS server which is the so-called pinned service. For pinned services you can configure migratable targets
    the way you want it (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/jms/config.html#1056368)

    Does the iPhone 4S supports Bluetooth pairing with iPad mini?

    Only from within peer-to-peer apps from the app store or internet tehering (if proved by the carrier)
    They support bluetooth for handsfree telephone, stereo music, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store, and internet tethering when provided by the carrier.
    Other than these it will not connect to another iphone, phone, computer, device, ipad

  • Does restoring iPhone to existing OS 4.3.3 upgrades modem firmware as well?

    Does restoring iPhone to existing OS 4.3.3 upgrades modem firmware as well?

    Those options don't exist for the iPhone. You can only restore to the most recent version (without doing some acrobatics outside of iTunes).
    But the overwhelming majority of iPhone users have no problems with 3.0, and the few that do can almost always fix it. But the ones who can't are naturally (and justifiably) quite vocal.

  • Does the iPhone 5 support Sprint's 4G Wimaxx?

    this is the answer i got from an Apple Support representative before he disappeared without saying anything:
    Now Chatting with Kaeleb
    Hi, welcome to the US Apple Online Store.  How are you?
    does the iphone 5 work on sprints 4g wimaxx and 4g lte?
    Yes it sure does, the iPhone is designed to run Sprints network wherever you have it available.
    i was told by a sprint representative that the iphone 5 is only capable of supporting their 3G or 4G LTE and doesn't supoort their 4G wimaxx
    Then that information is correct
    Our iPhone is designed to run whatever network the carrier allows for, if they have features not offered specifically they would be the ones with that information. The network information comes from the carrier.
    yes but is the phone capable of it? it either has the antenna to connect to it or not
    All iPhones have antennas to connect to a cellular network, the type of network it connects to is determined by the service provider, in your case Sprint.
    I haven't heard from you for a few moments. Would you like to continue chatting?
    your not giving me useful answers
    I am giving you accurate information
    Wether its useful or not, the information your looking for comes from Sprint.
    there are specific antennas and frequencies that must be used depending on what you're trying to connect to
    And since you have already discussed this with them, I have no idea why you are here asking us about something Sprint has already clarified for you.
    your the company that designs and manufactures thephone
    Your not getting it. As you said, we make the phone.
    With an Antenna
    The type of network* is determined by the service provider.
    because prior to ever speaking with sprint one of your apple representatives gave me information contradicting that
    4G, 4GLTE etc, all made up by the carriers to determine their networks.
    what im asking is: is the iphone 5 made to be compatible with 4g wimaxx
    whether or not sprint allows it to be
    I get what your asking but your not quite understanding the answer. The iPhone is made compatible to connect to cellular network. Apple does not have information regarding which network types it will connect to, its designed to work on a GSM or CDMA network, the network strength which is 4G etc, is determined by the carrier. Here at Apple we have nothing to do with that.
    We don't make iPhones designed specifically for 4G, 4G LTE, 4g wimaxx or any other network. Its made to run on a GSM or CDMA type network.
    you manufacture 3 different iPhone that have specific antennas radio frquencies based on which carrier its going to be activated on
    From the your carrier determines the compatibility.
    Thats not true
    We manufacture 2 types as I told you
    GSM and CDMA
    Sprint and Verizon are both CDMA
    a verizon iphone cant be used on sprints network and vice versa because the use different frequencies
    both cdma but different
    like the differnence between wimaxx and lte
    Not true, its because the phones are locked to the carriers services. It has nothing to do with Antennas, I am not sure where you are getting your information but if you can show me on our website where it says anything about 3 different Antennas then I would understand where you are coming from.
    Let me get you the number to our technical support team so that we can find a resolution to this issue. 800-APL-CARE(800-275-2273)
    one moment and i will
    I am a sales chat and here to assist customers with the online store, I am not going to be able to leave this chat open for you to contact technical support.
    i already spoke to them
    Ok great, do you have any online sales questions I can answer for you?
    they weren't able to give me an answer and aid to look online
    I find that hard to believe, this team knows for a fact and are the experts they would never direct anyone to go online for that information. You may have spoke with customer service. You need to call technical support from the number I just have you.
    well they did
    GSM model A1428*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 2, 4, 5, 17) CDMA model A1429*: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25) GSM model A1429*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5)
    This is a final warning to stop this type of response. If this conversation is not kept on a professional level, this chat will end.
    thats from your site
    you asked me to show you thats what i did
    You can call technical support but I need to assist customers with their purchases today.
    i have been nothing but professional
    i am a customer
    i own a macbook air and mac mini
    as well as 4th gen ipod touch and an old iphone 3gs
    Great, this is a sales chat.
    and this is how youre going to treat me?
    I have helped you to the best of my ability, your in the wrong department
    All I am doing is getting you to the correct team, because obviously you have not been given the information your looking for.
    well you helped me as much as your so called technical support that youre trying to refer me to. even though i already stated they werent able to help me
    I guarantee you didn't speak with the technical support team. There is no way they would send a customer online to seek that information, they are well aware that the online store chat is for online sales assistance. I am not going to continue to argue with you. This chat is not going anywhere with this back and forth. If you want assistance you will call our technical support team.
    800-APL-CARE (800-275-2273)
    thats who i spoke to at 10:03
    put me on hold several times and said he was unsure and for me to look online
    in your chat community
    Then I would suggest calling back because for whatever reason the agent you spoke with the last time must not have been an Apple trained technicians, as they get this question plenty and know the answer.
    Thank you for choosing the Apple Store. If you have any additional questions, please chat us again.
    You are currently not in a chat

    All the information you need is right here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    Notice there is no mention of WiMax.
    It doesn't really matter anyway as Sprint is rolling their WiMax network down for use by MVNOs. Actual Sprint customers will not have access to WiMax at all. It was a failed experiment.

  • Does the iPhone 4S support the 5GHz band?

    While the iPhone 4 supported 803.11(n), it did so only on the 2.4GHz band.  I can't find any information about this for the 4S.  Does anyone know if it supports the 5Ghz band?
    Sorry....I asked too quickly.  The answer is NO.  See http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html

    No, it does not state that.
    The 4S does not have the 5GHz radio.

  • Does the Iphone 3G support music playback via a bluetooth headset?

    Hi All,
    Does the Iphine 3g support music playback via a bluetooth headset at all, I suspect not...

    It's been on many a user's requested feature list since the first iPhone, and people were disappointed when it didn't show up on the 3G. The adaptor he links to will get the job done.
    I have to admit I've demoed a couple of bluetooth stereo headsets, and the music sounded awful. Perhaps it's improved, but for this reason it's not a feature I've personally wished was included.

    You may need to contact your carrier. I recently upgraded and the new phone activated automatically and the old one deactivated very soon after I turned on the new phone. May be different with different carriers.
