HT4061 IPhone 4s Unexpected loss of signal

Is there a Way I can contact someone at APPLE or somewhere else so I can solve my software problem with my IPhone 4S?
Unexpected loss of signal and communications have occurred to the point that I cannot use my phone any longer. I went to see my telephone service provider and they told me that there is no problem with it (service, signal, chip, etc.) but they have been aproached by many IPHONE 4S users reporting the same problem.
I have read many things about this matter in internet but no one seem to have solution to this. Everyone (around the world) agrees that this is caused by a faulty software. I have updated my phone with the latest version (OS 6) and the problem has gotten worse. I also have battery problems since this one doesn't last not even 3 hours after the upgrading. I have found NO other place or option where I can get support but this "Apple suport communities". I bought my phone,factory unlocked, from Apple Store in NY and actually I'm using it in La Paz, Bolivia (South America).
I belive that if Mr. Jobs would still be alive things would have been different.

I have the same problem with my 4s work ok for 1 week when I got it and now it keeps losing signal fix this apple please it's not my mobile provider everything is ok on there side.

IPhone Death Grip and Loss of Signal

There is NO doubt the new iPhone has "death grip" "loss of signal" issues. Including my new iPhone, there are 4 Verizon phones in my home. All 4 phones show 3 bars when laying on the counter. The iPhone consistently, everytime, drops to 1 bar when it is picked up and held in a normal position. The other 3 phones (HTC Incredible, Blackberry Curve 8330, and an LG Cosmos all maintain 3 bars when picked up and held in a normal position. In fact, when I recived my first call on my iPhone the caller complained my voice was breaking up. NONE of my other phones have that problem. I called Verizon support on my iPhone, and they said my call was breaking up. I changed my holding position so I was pinching the the front and back of the phone (not touching any of the metal frame), and they said they could hear me much better. Nice test, huh? I have checked this situation over and over. I am not going to "pinch" my phone to use it. I am not going to spend more money on a bumper or case to use it. I am going to hold Verizon to their promise that that the known antenna issue with the iPhone was fixed. I am going to return my iPhone for a full refund and HIGHLY recommend that ANYONE who thinks the antenna issue is fixed is flat out WRONG. I HAD a lot of confidence in Verizon and Apple before this fiasco. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that both of them new full well that the defect still existed and still hyped and released a defective product. I will be the first to gladly participate in any class action suit that comes out of this - which I am sure it will. DO NOT BUY AN IPHONE 4.

Verizon didn't promise you that the issue no longer existed (if a rep that hadn't had a chance themselves to see the phone until activating them for customers on the 10th told you this they were not the most reliable to respond unfortunately). Technically I don't recall Apple ever officially stating so (they never said they did the antenna changes as a "fix" to the issue...they said they did it to accomodate the CDMA chip), but if they did and it does not happen to be true for you and the phones in your household then by all means return them. At the end of the day, Verizon did not make the equipment....they just finally worked it out to get the rights to sell it with their service for the customers that have been begging for it for years. Be disappointed in Apple (as far as the antenna issue goes). For you, the issue exists. For others, it exists. For many, it does not. So being able to say there is NO doubt that the issue still exists is still very debatable at this point. Personally, I have had almost 1 full week (tomorrow) of crystal clear calls, no antenna issues, no dropped calls or dropped bars other than the normal that occurs with any phone on any network. Actually, the bars on my iPhone are interestingly more stable than those of my Blackberry Tour were.
At any rate, I'm sorry that the iPhone did not live up to your expectations, but your experience is not definitive of all iPhone users any more than mine is.

How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

Thanks for the tip. If only I could find somewhere where I did not lose the signal.
I am based in the United Kingdom. The carrier is Orange.
I lose the signal inside buildings and outside of buildings. It happens at work and at home. It happens in Centarl London in the open air and inside. It happens in small towns.. It happens in the countryside. It happens in motor cars. It happens in airports. It happens when the battery is fully charged, when it is half charged and when it's low on charge. It happens using the phone, when reading messages and when using the internet.
Hope this helps.

Using keynote presentation on projector have had brief loss of signal

I have changed projector and iPad and still experience during keynote presentation a brief loss of signal to projector.
This happens at random and keynote presentation restarts on projector. Tried every source to help and followed all advice and it still
happens at random. Can play a movie using same gear no problem at all; Please Help.

Please do not type in all caps, that is considered shouting on a public forum and also rude which I am sure is not your intent. I would also suggest reposting in the Keynot forum, that is where the Keynote gurus are likely to be.
Good luck.

Loss of signal

Over the past week I keep loosing my signal and it changes to "emergency calls only". I contacted vodafone who checked and advised that there was not a server issue then I visited the shop who gave me a new sim card, any advice on what the problem can be, also battery now drains within 24 hours, never used to be a problem?
Thanks

If you are traveling or moving about you may be experiencing a loss of signal strength which can cause what you describe. 24 hours on a Z10 is incredible battery life. I use mine a lot and find that about 8-10 hours is the max I can go without switching out the battery or without charging.
There also may be a sim card issue. Try swapping it out and see if that makes a difference.

My iphone has recently loss about 10G of memmory. I check through settings/general/usage, all apps I had add up to less than 2G. I used to be able to take around 2hrs of video and now I can't take any. Can anyone help? Thanks

My iphone has recently loss about 10G of memmory. I check through settings/general/usage, all apps I had add up to less than 2G. I used to be able to take around 2hrs of video as I like to record down whatever happening in front of my car when I'm driving. I delete the videos everyday ifn nothing special. It seems that lately when I deleted the videos, they're not removed from the phone's memmory.
I check form setting/general/usage : all my apps add up to less than 2G. In itune, it shows all memmary is under the catagory "other". Is there any way I can access this "other" memmory to see what's in it and delete the things I don't want to regain the loss memmory?
Thanks

You could always try restoring, although maybe someone else on here has a better idea.
Hopefully by posting this, it will bump up and someone with more iPhone troubleshooting experience might chime in.
As for the videos - interesting! Do you have the iPhone on one of those window holders, or do you hold it in your hand since that might ironically distract you, unless you've gotten very good at it!

My iPhone 6 is stuck on Signal Search mode

My iPhone 6 is stuck on Signal search mode since the morning. I have rebooted several times, and also updated to iOS 8.1 but still stuck on signal search mode. It's not a carrier problem. Can't make or receive calls. Please help.

Hi,
I'm from Israel and I also have the same problem that began today. I have an iPhone 6 bought from the US in november and today it suddenly didn't connect to a cellular network (stuck in searching). The SIM works on other phone, and my iphone still didn't find a network with another SIM.
I tried all the following with no luck:
- Reset Network, eject SIM, different SIM
- Upgraded to 8.2 from 8.1.2
- Upgraded to 8.3
- Reset Network again
It's so annoying, confusing and disappointing, I feel I can't do anything now, I do not have a backup phone and I need a phone for work, life, etc....
I feel like I threw $700 US down the drain.
Luckily I have a friend going to SF next week and I'll try to send it back with him for repair or replacement in the US.
Meanwhile I'll suffer with whatever phone I can borrow from some friends.

I am U.S. iPhone 4S user traveling in China. Data speed is too slow to be usable. Verizon says that it because iPhone 4S connects to strongest signal even if slowest. Any work arounds for this design flaw?

I am U.S. iPhone 4S owner traveling in China. Data speed is too slow to be usable. Verizon says that is because iPhone 4S connects to strongest signal, even if slowest (virtually non-existent) data network. Does anyone know how to work around this design flaw?

I spent 2 months in china with my old iphone 3gs. Both China Unicomm and China Mobile were accessible through my US phone. (for you other users, yes my phone bill was sky high, but it's a small price to pay when you get instant access to your wife while you are gone... and to be able to use the google translate app). I had a GSM phone (obviously) and had the ability to choose what carrier I wanted my phone to connect to (the same thing was available when I was in italy as well).
it was under
general-> network> then there was a new field (that does not normally show up when in the US) that listed the available networks to connect to. my phone always attempted china unicomm first, and switched to china mobile only when unicomm was unavailible.
but if wjosten is correct (and i imagine he is), cdma phones may not be able to choose what network to connect to.

Repeat loss of signal

I have a WRT54G ver.6 and i am able to connect to the internet but loss the signal randomly every few hours. Upgraded Firmware with no luck. Somebody please help

I had this same problem - lots of us apparently do. I read numerous threads, tried numerous changes to settings, upgrading the firmware, etc. I even tried a newer version of the router (WRT54G to WRT54GS). Nothing worked. I then tried changing to the DD-WRT firmware, and since then, I've had zero problems: no dropped connection, no rebooting the router.
Visit http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page for info on the firmware and instructions on how to download and install.

I have the exact same problem. Called my operator who told me it was a hardware issue and Apple is working on a fix...

Is there a way to designate the order that an iPhone connects to a wifi signal. Either by signal strength or preferring one network over another without forgetting one of them?

Normally the phone will choose the strongest signal.

IOS 4.3.5 wifi suddenly very shaky to non existent, in-call loss of signal

Just updated to 4.3.5. on iPhone 4. My Wifi signal has become shaky, even at home using the latest (July 2011) Apple Extreme model. Sometimes, checking under Setting - WiFi, my phone clearly recognizes the existence of a Wifi signal of up to two or three "bars", but my home screen keeps showing either 3G or the little circle indicating the old 2G connection. Also, the very latest: mid call, my signal simply disappears. Mind you, the connection is still up, but I can't hear or speak to the person on the other end of the line. That lasts for about 5-10 seconds, and then it's back. All of this is extremely annoying. I love the iPhone, it's the best out there, but please, any ideas or fixes?

I am having the exact same trouble with wifi. I upgraded to 4.3.5 yesterday and immediately noticed the connectivity issue with wifi. It is especially evident after I wake up the phone, the wifi is disconnected. Trying to reconnect is very frustrating, have to turn wifi off and on numerous times and also have to turn airplane mode on and off a few times and eventually it reconnects to the wifi. I tried resetting network settings and rebooted the phone a few times but same problem prevails. Sometimes it comes back with message "Unable to connect to network" then suddenly it connects. I have a Linksys 802.3 b/g access point. Before upgrading to 4.3.5 my phone would connect to the access point as soon as I got into range (for the most part) now it does not connect by itself automatically despite the message in the wifi connections screen that says "Known networks will be joined automatically"
I am starting to get annoyed at Apple it seems they cannot fix a bug in the software without screwing up some other critical function. A similar problem with wifi happened last year, unfortunately I don't recall what or when I was on a business trip at the time, upgraded the phone software and wifi blew up. Two strikes against Apple, only one more to go. I was looking at getting iPads for my field service reps, think I am going to look at other options I cannot have my techs having issues with wifi connectivity. If Apple cannot take this seriously then perhaps their products are not cut out for the business world. Fix it Steve Jobs!
