How to manually select network on ATT iPhone 4gs

Please discuss.
Thanks.

It's more of a network problem in my case.  I had a microcell in a previous location that I lived where I was on the edge of coverage.  It was given to me for free as with your mother but did not come close to yielding the same results.
My current situation is not one with coverage (3 to 4 bars) but due to sub-par network perfromance.  I'll get about 10-20% of my calls to go through, missed emails and texts that show up hours after they were sent.  This was never a problem with my 3GS iphone as I simply left it on 2G when at home. 
I believe the issue is with 1 of 2 things:
1) uplink - downlink imbalance
2) pilot beacon interference
To get ATT to fix these issues at my serving cell would be next to impossible.
This is a product of a poor ATT 3G network but also a bad reflection on Apple and their iPhone as my wife has a Blackberry and does not experience the same problems.

  • Cannot Manually Select Network

    I bought a SIM Free Blackberry Passport of Amazon but when I inserted my O2 Ireland sim I do not have the option to manually select network. When I start up the phone without a sim it confirms that it is open to all networks. However some setting within the phone puts a restriction on manually selecting network when I put in the O2 sim. I am having difficulty getting this issue solved. No-one takes responsibiltiy for the issue, I suspect it is a Blackberry fault whereby there is an issue with the software but it is very hard to resolve. My phone is great but I need to solve this issue to be able to use it.
    Solved!

    Can you have O2 turn off all roaming on your account? Then just enable when you travel. That might force the device to stay on your home network.

  • Can't figure out how to remove select music from my iPhone 4 with the new iTunes

    My old PC with all my music on iTunes died, and I need to remove some music from my iPhone 4 to make room for the new OS update. I downloaded iTunes on a different computer and tried to sync the iPhone to it, to move all the music on my iPhone to iTunes so I could deselect what songs I wanted to remove to make the storage space. I can't figure out how to do this with the new (non-user-friendly) iTunes update. When I sync the phone, the only songs that show up are the ones I have purchased on iTunes, but non of the songs/albums that I transfered from CDs. I don't want to reset my phone to delete ALL my music, just select songs/albums. Can anyone please help me figure out the new iTunes to be able to do this? It is driving me nuts and I'm getting really mad at Apple for their constant updates making things less easy to use!

    i have the same problem, if u find it out please let me know :C i can erase or put new songs from my pc to itunes u.u

  • How to restrict 3g network internet on iphone 3g ?

    Hello everybody! I have an iphone 3g and att "pay as you go" prepaid simcard. As you know, iphone 3g is a totally multimedia device which connects to the internet using 3g network without asking about that. So my iphone spended all $15 on my prepaid simcard in couple of hours while updating weather, mail and stuff. I called att cus.support and explained them my situation, they credited that money back...but thats not the point. A cus.support guy told me that there is no way to restrict iphone using 3g internet. But what do you think about that? Maybe there is existing a some type of application for iphone that could restrict automatic connection to the 3g internet? Or it is impossible and i need to buy another phone for my "pay as you go"?
    P.S.: I need to leave an ability to use internet through wifi access point.
    P.S.S.: Tried to shut off 3g mode in iphone menu, but it didnt helped.
    Looking forward for your replies! Thanks!!!!!

    You cannot shut off the data. Visual voicemail relies on the cellular data connection as well.
    You can turn on airplane mode, but then the phone won't work.
    Sorry, but the AT&T guy is correct.
    The iphone will use wi-fi first, but if it is not available it will go to 3G , then Edge.
    The iphone is designed to be used with the unlimited data plan provided by AT&T.

  • How to manually select automated text snippets (e.g. auto numbering)

    Hi,
    I tried looking in the help, cant find anyt
    I have a few occassions where I need to change the text-color to white, because of the dark background. I created a Character Style called "Negative" where I simply set the Text Color to White.
    So far so good. However I am not able to select and apply the style to the automated elements of the paragraph styles like paragraph numbering for example.
    I can only select "Lorem ipsum" from a "1.) Lorem Ipsum" you know. Is there a way to do that without having to define a whole set of new paragraph styles for the other color?
    Thanks in advance.

    Andreball wrote:
    Ah alright! Thanks. I have never even seen the paragraph palette before.
    Just to illustrate why creating a whole set of new paragraph style is not an option for me:
    I have millions of cross-references, which are related to paragraph styles. So if i have to change my Headline 2 to Headline 2 Negative just to edit the color for example, I lose the cross-references and get myself in a huge mess. Semantically my desired editing of color does not require a whole set of new paragraph styles (I have about 7 for the body text only, for example Body Indented, Not Indented (for the first line in column), Quote etc.), doing it manually on the 10-15 pages where it happens, is perfectly sufficient.
    I think this goes into the feature request form.
    Thanks again John!
    Depending on the type's characteristics, you could try defining the text's character color with a very thin paper stroke, a fraction of a point, that would be invisible on light backgrounds, but visible against dark backgrounds. For numbered and bulleted paragraph styles, you'd need to include a character style with the same outline properties in the number or bullet definition.

    Hi again,
    Only what can I do in your case is to give you some information about DirectX.
    If you have an older version of DirectX and a program needs a newer version, you will often see some errors. To fix most of these problems, all you need to do is make sure that you have downloaded the latest version on your system.
    DirectX is supposed to be backward compatible. If you have some problem with specific game and if a game was written for DirectX 8, it should run if you have DirectX 9 installed on your PC. However, a game written specifically for DirectX 9 will generally not run on DirectX 8 or earlier.
    I suppose that you have DirectX V9.0a installed on your machine. Install the latest version and let us know is there some error again.
    Bye

  • How to have selective text tones on iphone 4s

    I receive several text mesasges during the day. Some are very urgent and need to be responded immediately.  Some are just information and some are communications from friends or family.  Is it possible to have different sounds for different senders including none for some?
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes.  You can assign text tones to individuals.

  • ITunes 7 and Manually Selecting What Songs to Update

    I can't seem to find how to manually select what songs i want to update to my ipod. When i connect it, i check the box that says "manually manage music and videos" and then click the "music" tab at the top, but all that is there is "sync music" and an option box for "all music and playlists."
    I want to be able to select exactly what songs i want to update over to my ipod, like i could with iTunes6.
    Btw, i have the latest software update.

    This is ludicrous. Meant to be an 'upgrade' yet has totally messed up what I can do with my i-Pods (three and counting...)
    With my i-Pod Shuffle, I can see a 'contents' tab, which lets me browse the individual songs like before, play them, delete them, add to the list, etc. With my i-Pod 15GB (a bit old, but I won the darn thing), I have no 'contents' tab. I can't get this up at all. I either have to delete everything or install everything, as a 'mirror' copy of i-Tunes music folder.
    Has anyone figured out how to get the 'contents' folder to appear with anything other than a Shuffle? I also have a Nano (for down the gym - I need to unwind after this lot!)
    Peeved.

  • HT201699 My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?

    My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?

    Yes ATT hides the APN settings so when you try to use a st sim it automatically reads on AT&T network so the APN settings are hidden and cannot be accessed however you can go to apn.straighttalk.com on you'r phone and select APN/data settings then select AT&T then iPhone and a screen will pop up asking if you would like to install the profile for whatever reason it's not verified but works fine. You can also go to www.unlockit.co.nz and set up a straight talk APN profile that is verified not sure exactly what that means but both work to get the data working on the phone for straight talk but it does not make the MMS work. There are a couple other methods I have read about one is on howardforums using ibackupbot to manually change the files on the phone I haven't been able to get mine to stick using that method but other people have and there is a sim swap method to trick the phone to reveal APN settings using a tmobile sim I have not tried this but other people have with success. The last two methods mentioned will make both data and MMS work

  • I do not want all of the playlists in iTunes to be synced to my iPhone. With iCloud I do not seem to have a choice. How do I select only certain playlists for my iPone?

    I have many songs and playlists in my iTunes account.  I do not want all of them synced to my iPhone 5S, but that has happened via iCloud, and it has caused a storage problem on my phone.  How do I select only certain playlists to be synced to my iPhone? 

    You need to start over with Music. On the iPhone Music screen uncheck sync music. Also, on the Summary screen uncheck "Manually manage music and videos", then sync and it should clear off your phone.
    Next, choose the music you want to sync. If you want to fit more on check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This will reduce quality slightly, but it won't be noticable unless you are using $300 headphones.
