Edge network running slooooooow

Updated my 1st gen IPhone to 3.0 yesterday. Today the EDGE network is running very slow when using Safari. Im located in western PA.
Anyone else seeing issues???

After updating to 3.0 last night I found I was unable to access the Edge network. Instead I kept getting a message that I did not have a cellular data subscription. After trying several things I found that removing the sim card and reinstalling it I finally was able to access the Edge network again. It was really slow at first, very sluggish. SInce the, about 2 hours later it has gotten better and is at almost normal Edge speeds. Not sure this will help you, but at least you know you aren't the only one!

  • EDGE Network Coverage.

    I live in Devon, United Kingdom. It's a rural area and there is no EDGE network coverage here. This means I'm running the slow GPRS that O2 has to offer.
    Does anyone know when the EDGE network will be expanded to cover 'Ashburton, Devon, UK'?
    Thank you.

    This is a question you need to address with O2.

  • 4S  uses edge network instead of 3G

    New 4S uses Edge network when 3G is available.
    IPhone 4 stays on 3G in same locations. 

    I have the exact same issue. I am using both a 4 and 4s and while the 4 is running full bars on 3G, the 4s will be stuck on Edge. I have to turn off and on airplane mode, and than a full bar 3G signal is acquired. For some reason, the 4s does not seem to want to switch back onto 3G once it has moved onto Edge.

  • Cannot receive calls when using Edge network for data?

    Hi,
    This afternoon someone was trying to reach me urgently and all her calls to my iPhone went straight into my voicemail. My phone never rang and never showed missed calls.
    I spoke to Aaron at Apple, thinking there might be a problem with my phone, and he told me that when the Edge network is in use, then the phone will not ring and calls will be routed straight to voicemail.
    Is this really expected behavior? I was not aware of it.
    iPhone 8GB    

    This has nothing to do with EDGE all other phones will notify you and pause the connection. i posted about this 2 days ago but the thread got deleted.
    here is a video that proves this, the noise is from the GSM but the user is clearly on the edge network.
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=NMm2AY-_TTY
    this is from Tier 2 suport at Apple.
    Everyone having this issue should call 1-800-MY iPhon. Ask to speak to Tier II support, the person you get may try to help, and may need to give you a case number. You'll probably have to wait a while on hold.
    I just spent an hour on the phone with Tier I & II. The tier I guy started by saying that when you use EDGE it will always go to voicemail. I told him, I was on a user forum & some people said they don't have the issue. He then tested it on his phone & experienced the direct to v-mail issue. We talked about how this was a real problem & how both of our nokia phones didn't have this issue (he actually had the E-61 also). He gave me a case number & transferred my to tier II. The tier II guy told me that this was a software issue. That a pop-up needs to be designed into the software to allow the user the option to disconnect the data connection & accept the voice call, or not. I told him that I'd read on a user forum that some users get voice calls while using EDGE. He said that if they are using you tube the call will automatically interrupt & switch out of you tube. We then tested this on my iPhone & it worked (i.e. the call interupted you tube). He said the software currently decides to disconnect data or send calls to voice mail during EDGE transmissions based on what the user is doing. Phone calls take priority over you tube & widgets (stock & weather)but safari and e-mail take priority over phone calls. He said the thought was, it would be more annoying to users to be in the middle of sending an e-mail and having mail disconnected for a phone call, than having the call go to voicemail. The ideal solution is to have a choice (like other phones allow) but right now the iPhone software does not have a pop-up designed allowing the user to accept the call or keep the data connection. (He seemed to be familiar with this on other phones while being tethered to a macbook to use their data connections & getting voice calls during downloads).
    He said he was submitting this to the engineering group & said the more people that call tier II about this & submit it as an issue via online feedback, the higher priority it will get to be addressed in the first software update. So if you want to see this fixed start calling and submitting the issue http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html in as much detail as possible (specifically say that other existing phones Nokia S60s etc. have this function).
    and here is a thread that is discussing this serious problem. note it is now many pages long.

  • Is there a way to stop the Edge network from activating?  Overseas Travel

    I am travelling in Europe and I do not want the EDGE network to be activated. But I can't find a way to turn off the Edge network. At $1 per KB, this is going to get expensive. I am using WiFi when I can, but the rest of the time, it's on Edge and with Yahoo push email, I end up with 50+ KB per day of traffic.
    Does anyone have any ideas? When I leave the wifi area, I turn off my email. But there still seems to be traffic on the edge network (under Settings > Usage). I prefer to do my email only in a wifi zone.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I agree. I am currently in the UK and am contending with this. i turned off my e-mail as well but I will be contacting AT&T for a credit on all of the data transfer I invouluntarily incurred while here.

  • Can connect to wireless network run off dell router, but not internet!

    I have a iBookG4 and have moved to a new apt with a wireless network run off a dell router/ comcast. My roommates have both Macs and PCs and can connect with no problems. I found the network on my airport and put in the password, joined network no problem, but cannot connect to the internet. The Airport status is yellow and says that Airport has self assigned IP address and cannot connect to the internet. I can connect fine to other open networks in the area so its not my computer. I tried to copy the IP address from my roommate manually to the network settings but that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong? No one here seems to recall how they set up the network and I am paying for a network I can't access. Please help!!!

    Does the dell router have an access list set-up?
    With an access list (depending on the router) it can be set-up to allow access for only certain MAC addresses. If your MAC address isn't in the list, you'll not get on.
    Usually the router will have an IP address itself of 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.0.1 - depends on the router. You should be able to determine it from the IP address your computers are getting. Try getting someone to connect to this through a browser, and check/change the configuration of the router directly.

  • No WIFI OR Edge network after 3.0 update on first generation

    I'm working with an original 1st generation iPhone.
    I updated which seemed to go well (compared to horror stories I heard from my 3G friends earlier this afternoon). After the update I noticed some major issues:
    1. I can not connect to WIFI networks
    2. I can not even connect to the Edge network (therefore the internet just straight up doesn't work).
    3. I can not access voice mail.
    4. It cleared all of my text message conversations.
    5. It cleared all of my recent calls.
    6. It reset my settings in a few of my apps.
    I CAN make calls and send/receive texts.
    I can live with having to deal with 4, 5, and 6, but not having 1, 2, and 3, is just ridiculous.
    Can anyone help?

    I also have the original iPhone and I am also in Pittsburgh and my EDGE network is down. I did not get the software update though. Maybe the storms last night caused an issue with AT&T's network. Please let me know if you hear anything on this. Thanks!

  • Usage of Edge Network on Weekends...

    Is the usage of the Edge network for e-mail and internet free on the weekends since minutes are unlimited on the weekends?

    Technically it is not free, each iPhone plan has a unlimited data plan included in the monthly bill
    So each month you pay to have unlimited access to the EDGE network, you not not have to pay anything extra for using any of the widgets, the Mail app or Safari

  • Speed of EDGE network

    Hey, everybody,
    I'm curious...is the EDGE network really that slow on the iPhone? Does its connection speed affect the complete rendering of web pages (i.e., are the pages only partially loaded sometimes), or is it just a matter of how long it takes to render those pages?
    Come on...how bad is EDGE, really?

    EDGE is not anything to tout, for sure. Very similar to dial-up speeds. In areas with weak signals, it could be even longer as the unit has to request a resend bad data packets (as I experienced on my Nokia 9300). One thing to keep in mind with some of these pages that may never come up and freeze. iPhone does have Flash, but does not have Java capabilities. This may be the issue.
    As for the future, the 3G is the network to have, but the battery life will be compromised. I am hoping for the UHF spectrum to be the future solution, as this can be used for the broadcast to the phone and the phone can upload via the current Edge network.
    By then, the iPhone will be likely priced at $139 and come with a $300 ringtone credit for downloading all the greatest ringtones from Apples future iRingtones website.
    Cheers

  • 2504 WLC on edge network for guest wifi

    I have a 2504 WLC with a 1042 AP and I have it placed on my edge Cisco 3750 switch.
    I have the management interface of the WLC set on my WAN IP 71.x.x.x subnet range, and I have the WLC doing DHCP duties with a DHCP scope of 192.168.X.0. I have my DNS servers set on external DNS servers out on the Internet.
    I have two Cisco 3845 Routers on my edge network - one for each ISP with BGP protocol.
    Since my native VLAN is 71.x.x.x, I added a sub interface on my main core router and gave it a 192.168.x.1 255.255.255.0 address for the gateway. Also, I added ip prefix-list iBGP seq 10 permit 192.168.x.0/24 le 32 to my main core router. On my secondary ISP router I added
    ip prefix-list iBGP seq 10 permit 192.168.X.0/24 le 32, and ip prefix-list OUT seq 10 permit 192.168.x.0/24 statements.
    I added VLAN 10 to my edge switch and gave it IP 192.168.x.2 255.255.255.0, and the switchports that my core router and my WLC are connected to the edge switch, are in trunk mode with encapsulation dot1q 10. The switchport on my edge switch that the AP is connected to is in switchport access mode.
    I can connect to the wifi with a 192.168.x.x IP address on my laptop, but I cannot get any Internet access.
    Is it possible to have the DHCP scope be in a different subnet than my WAN IP subnet, and allow guests to get to the external Internet only? Do I need to put the WLC somewhere internal on my network i.e. the DMZ and then tunnel the traffic out to the Internet with no Internal network access?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    right, and how does a 'normal/current' user access the internet?  Somwhere going to your ISP there should be some sort of NAT statement when you send interwebs traffic.
    if your ISP is taking care of all of that for you, you probably need to let them know you added the subnet so they can do the NAT.

  • I receive Yahoo mail on Edge network but can't reply...

    Hi,
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    As my subject line states, I get all my Yahoo mail from 2 different Yahoo accounts just fine but cannot reply on the edge network. If I have a WiFi signal I can.
    The error I get says "Cannot Send Mail" "The connection to the outgoig server "(null)" failed.
    Any ideas?

    Hello HMoorhouse,
    You were correct in attempting to edit the SMTP settings. SMTP is the server that allows outgoing mail. I would recommend deleting the mail account as a whole and restarting.
    Once the device has been restarted, got to Settings>Mail, Contacts, and Calandars
    When in "Mail, Contacts, and Calandars" hit Add Account.
    You will have mutiple options so you want to select "Other".
    Now you need your server settings for both the incoming and outgoing mail server.
    If you enter this exactly how your provider gives them to you, it should work. Make sure you know if it is pop or imap, the port number, in incoming and outgoing servers, use SSL on/off and use authentication on/off etc.
    If you have all the correct settings accoridng to the provider you may want to restore the phone then try again. Restoring the phone will factor out any Apple software issues.
    If you ahve questions let me know.
    Best Regards,
    Jordan Park

  • Can I add Time Capsule to a current network running XBOX 360

    I know this has been covered a fair amount in other posts but I'm having a hard time weeding out all of the information to apply to my exact situation.
    I currently have an Airport Express as my main wireless delivery system. This has been working great for the past few years with no problems at all. We also have an XBOX 360 hooked up to the wireless network as well without any problems. I also have another Airport Express used to stream music to some speakers in another room in the house.
    I just bought Time Capsule but it hasn't arrived yet. When it arrives I would like to set up the Time Capsule to be my main wireless delivery system in order to provide wireless "n" to my AppleTV and get better speeds.
    Would I be able to just connect my current Airport Express to the Time Capsule and have it continue to send out the wireless network it always has? Basically I would like to continue to have my current wireless network running so that my XBOX 360 can continue to run on the "g" network without problems. But I would be able to do everytying else on the "n" network.
    I'm not savvy at all with networks. Is this what people call a "dual-band" network? It seems like once the TC is set up I could just plug in my current AEX and have it continue to send out the "g" network. Is this correct?
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Doesn't matter anymore with wireless-n adapter working great!

  • Has anyone had a problem connecting to Edge network?

    Got my phone yesterday and it worked flawlessly. I drained the battery and charged it over night.
    So I wake up today and try to see what the weather is going to be. It says error updating, so Im like w t f? So I try to open a webpage(using edge) and it doesn't load google and the iPhone says "Safari can't open the page because it an't fid the server."
    Has anyone had this issue? Could it be the Edge network or my phone its self? I used the WiFi just now and it worked fine but I need edge to be working.
    Thanks

    When it happens to me a have to do a reset of the iphone and it fixes it. Hold down the top button and the round button on the buttom of the screen together for 10 seconds until the iphone powers off. Next hold down the power buttong for a second or 2 untill you get the apple logo on the screen.
    Must be a bug.

  • Trying to upgrade my i-phone 3 operating system to ios-5.  The program seems to download fine, but at the end it says network run time error and then I have to cancel it out and try again.  Tried 5 times and I can't upgrade the system.  help?

    I am trying to upgrade the operating system on my i-phone 3 to ios-5.  I download the program and it runs and downloads.  When almost finished, an error occurs that says Network run time error.  This cancels out the download.  I have tried 5 times with the sdame result.  Can anyone help?  Thanks

    This is asked and answered frequently... a simple search of the forums would have revealed that disabling any Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the computer prior to downloading will rectify the issue.

  • Edge Network vs. Wi-Fi

    I was in an area today that had a free Wi-Fi hotspot. When I launched Safari I was asked if I wanted to join the network, and I of course said yes, since it's faster than Edge.
    However, the Edge network stayed on, and Safari continued to use the Edge network. I checked settings, and it indicated that I was logged onto the Wi-Fi.
    Is there anyway to make sure that when you are in an area with Wi-Fi, it uses the Wi-Fi and not the Edge network?
    Thanks in advance.

    what should I do?
    is there a way, button combinations, that i could do a reboot on the device.
