IOS 4.1 and Signal Issues?

Now - I have not done any "extensive" testing yet... But I have a gut feeling that my signal has actually weakened with my update of iOS 4.1. Anyone else having this problem? Noticing any degradation?

I'm getting really bad signal issues after the ios 4.1 update. I was really happy with my iPhone 4 on Vodafone (Good reception + Excellent Data speeds, up & down).
Now after the update, it seems that the iphone cant get a decent signal or 3g at my home, office or girlfriends...
WHAT's Going on APPLE!??
I've done some field tests and my signal is usually -108... aka 1 bar of signal. I just wish i could revert back to 4.0.1....that was acutally better.
Please can someone help? 4.1 has definately had an adverse effect on my beloved iPhone.

IOS 5 ACTIVATION AND SIM ISSUES

Good morning all from England!
Im on O2 (UK) and last night upgraded my iPhone from 4.3.3 to 5.0. The update went smoothly until it came to activating the phone.
All of the activation steps seemed to go smoothly, Language select, country select, location services, WiFi...then it switched to the "your iphone is being activated...this may take up to three minutes to complete"
All through this, the signal area was static on Searching... then eventually went to no service. iTunes also popped up at this point saying that there was no SIM card installed. Then i am greeted with the "unable to activate iPhone" and states that the activation server is temporarily unavailable. and asks to try again. I have done this countless times but im now under the impression that the issue of no signal is causing the issue.
From reading other posts on the interweb, there is speak of baseband upgrade issues where signals are no longer being registered.
I have tried my O2 sim in another phone and works fine, so i know it is not the sim.
Apple, are you aware of this issue? If so, how quickly do you plan to fix it.
Otherwise, has anyone else out there experienced the same issues as me? And has anyone found a fix for it?
I have the iPhone 3GS and i have been told its the new bootrom type - if that helps??
Any help will be appreciated.

Prior to the iOS 5 update, I could get 2.5 days out of a single charge based on my normal usage. Today I received one call and used the map to check traffic, once, and I went from 100% at 7am to ZERO by 7pm - auto shut off.
Can someone please explain to me what is running in the iOS 5 backround that is sucking this thing dry?
I have alread turned off PING, most of the location settings, and notifications to conserve battery. This is INSANE. I don't need trouble shooting on the device. 24 hours ago, with iOS 4.3.5 none of this was happening. The only change between now and then, is the installation of iOS 5.
Any other suggestions out there?
Maybe I should shut the phone off entirely until I actually need it - that should save the charge.
Does anyone at APPLE monitor these blogs? This is a SERIOUS issue - and I'm not the only one. There is dialog already bubbling up elsewhere regarding the same issue.

Ios 5.1.1 signal issues

after updating to ios 5.1.1 i constantly lose the signal on my phone. as well as not being able to browse on the 3g signal for more than ten minutes before it locks up and has to be rebooted..... anyone else finding issues with signal and 3G connectivity??

Sure they have. Had your bothered to search this forum or even look to the right in the "More Like This" box, you'd have saved yourself the effort of posting, not to mention the forum readers from having to wade through yet another repetive, redundant post.

Network and signals issues.

I bought new Lumia 925 two months back. Besides other problems mentioned by others, i am adding these. First is, the phone doesn't automatically search for network signals. Suppose i am taking my phone with me through a no signal area like lifts, basements and come back to signal zone i have to manually search for signal and network All times. Second is, to enable data connection i have to restart the phone all times. Third is, when i am getting incoming calls, the slide up doesn't work sometimes and i couldn't attend the calls. Because of these problems, i couldn't use my phone as simple phone. I updated the software and i reset the phone. Still the problems persist.

Hi surenav,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
Have you tried to remove the SIM card and re-insert it back? Also, is it possible for you to use another SIM card to further check the issue? Is the Network selection under Settings > Cellular already set to automatic? How did you perform the reset? Is it by going to Settings > About > Reset your phone?
Please keep us posted.

Proximity Sensor Issues and Signal Issues

I've had my N3 for about 3 months now I think. I don't know if I was just really in love with it at first or if it's actually consistently getting worse. I think it's getting worse, because I still love it, sometimes.
The most annoying issue just started in the last few weeks. I've read about a lot of other people having this same issue as well so I know it's not just me. When making a call and putting the phone to my ear, typically the screen turns off as it should. Then moving the phone away at the end of the call and the screen comes back on. Well now it doesn't come back on. I have to physically push a button to get the screen back on so I can end the call. Last night I made an a call and put the phone to my face and it didn't turn off either. This makes for particularly awkward periods of time where you can't say anything because you can still hear the other person on the phone and can't get your to hang up. Very annoying when you're in a hurry because you stepped out to answer a call or something. This also seems to be a well documented problem.
The more persistent issue started a while back with the software update that claimed to "Improve Connectivity" in November I think it was. I spend a lot more time without 4G since this update. I live in a big-ish city and I never had so many issues losing 4G with my Droid Charge. But now I frequently drop 4G and go back to 3G or quite frequently down to 1X. This is particularly common in buildings, which I understand could present issues but we're talking about 1 story buildings, 20 feet or so from the front wall which is mostly windows. I often can't use my phone inside at all unless theres wifi. On a recent road trip we stopped at a gas station and my wife pulls out her S4 and checks facebook, sends some messages, checks her email, etc. I pull out my phone and have no signal AT ALL. Can't even text or make a call, have the circle with a line through it. After several minutes of fumbling through turning mobile data on and off, airplane mode on and off I finally get a bar and a 1X connection.
This is a practically brand new $300 (only because I signed a contract, really what $600?) phone that I can't rely on to make phone calls while a mile off the interstate at a gas station? I don't expect 4G there maybe, but phone calls.. yeah that should work. Everywhere. Alright maybe not the backwoods of Idaho or something, but if you're within earshot of the main interstate through a state you should be able to make phone calls.
Very Frustrated,
Phillip

This is a peer-to-peer forum; VZW reps occasionally respond to threads marked as a question (this one wasn't, unfortunately), but they don't respond to every post and it's sometimes days after a post is left. And re-posting in a new thread to mark it as a question is against the forum's Terms of Service since it's a duplicate post.
Service isn't guaranteed in buildings. One thing you can try (especially when you're traveling) is turn off the phone, wait a minute or two, then turn the phone back on and allow it to re-establish a network connection. That allows the SIM card to automatically update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL), which may help. If it doesn't, try turning off the phone, removing the SIM card (be careful not to touch the gold contacts), then re-insert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and allow it to re-establish a network connection. If that doesn't help, you could try a new SIM card (they're free at your local Corporate Verizon store).

IOS/AIR Running and Debugging Issues with Flash Builder

I'm having very frustrating intermittent issues running and debugging Flex applications on an iPad 3rd generation retina with Flash Builder 4.7.
Until this morning, launching on device using both standard and fast packaging worked pretty well. Every now and again, I'd get a dialog saying the packaging had completed successfully, but it hadn't. A quick change of the USB cable to another port on my iMac and it started working again. I'd also randomly get a "Error occurred while installing the application: Invalid <device> specified" error, which quickly went away.
This morning, with the same code base, the same certificate and provisioning profiles, Flash Builder has only managed to successfully package and run my application on my iPad twice and I must have attempted to launch fifty or so times. Standard packaging, fast packaging and with and without the useLegacyAOT.
Does this sound like a Flash Builder issue? Is my iMac USB driver dodgy? Has anybody else experienced this?
Any help greatly welcomed!
Thanks,
Simon

Hi I have had this problem sometimes. With my Mac Book Pro.
Try making a new flex application and see if you have the same result.
When I had this problem I created a new Application and copied every thing from my other application.
This my be a hard solution but I don't no any others.

Ipad 2 and wifi issues

Hi,
I'm a newbie in this apple forum. I had Ipad 2 since spring of 2011 and it worked great until I updated to os 5.1.1. My wifi reception was horrible after the upgrade, to a point that I could not connect at all to free wifi at public areas such as libraries, starbucks, etc. I tried to hard reset, turn off blue tooth, turn off auto brightness, reset the network setting to no avail. It was not the router (FioS) since my Ipad 3 and other devices were working fine.
I finally brought it to apple store to be checked out. He did see that my wifi was poor, even inside the apple store. It went intermittenly from 2 bars to 1 bar to no connection in minutes while my Ipad 3 was steady at 3 bars for the whole time we were in the store. He thought that maybe something went wrong during the os upgrade and suggested to factory reset and reinstall the os at the store. After the reinstall nothing was changed. The wifi reception was still poor and he did not know what else to do. He was sure that it's not the software and perhaps the problem was due to hardware issue. The problem is Apple can't fix any thing hardware related after the warranty expires. I can't send it for repair and the only thing Apple can do is to take my old one, fix it, sell it as a refurb and allow me to buy a new ipad 2 for $250. Apple might call that process a value chain efficiency, but as a consumer, I call it a ripoff!!!
To top it off, I can't sync my wife's yahoo calendars and remaindes at home. So frustrating.

Ugh, after updating my iPad 3 to iOS 6.0.1 I thought that bugs like WiFI problem will be fixed , but I was so Disappointed that its not yet fixed.

2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.

I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. The mobile carrier signal as well as WIFI suddenly drops zero and are then restored automatically. Sometimes i cannot conenct to WIFI even standing infront of WIFI router. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.

Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
3. Do a soft and hard reset.
4. Reset network settings.
5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :)

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:
First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services". I'm not sure what this really means...
The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music. I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
Anyone have any ideas?

I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

IOS 4.2.1: Intermittent Playback and Static Issue Resolution - JVC KD-AVX77

Hey guys, it appears that iOS 4.2.1 fixes the issue with the intermittent playback and static issues that I was having in my car. I just played two songs continuously with no issues.
I have the JVC KD-AVX77, and with iOS 4.1, I was having nothing but problems with music playback. It had got to the point that it was intolerable to use my iPhone in my car.
I am extremely pleased that it seems like Apple took everyone's feedback about this issue, and came up with a fix to it. Too bad that I've already stored my car for the winter.
Please post your own findings. I know this issue was across multiple head units and car manufacturers.

Same problem here. I have a 3gs and this intermitent static/hiss/lag happens when i connect through the usb on my toyota prius. This problem did not happen before the latest software upgrade. I have switched out the cables. Also tested on an ipod touch without the software upgrade and had no problem. It's a crazy annoying problem! Sounds a bit like listening to vinyl. I have also tried switching to airplane mode, but that didn't do anything. I have also reset the iphone while connected to the usb (the same way i frequently have to because of an earlier problem i've had with the usb failing to work in the car at all...) and that has not fixed it. I'm going to try connecting via bluetooth today and see what happens - i'm guessing that will be fine, but i don't like to listen via bluetooth.

I was updating my ipad2 to iOS.5 version, and somehow the iPad turned of and the update was not finished. When i turned on the iPad the computer nor iTunes could recognize the iPad. I have windows xp. How can I solve this issue?

Issues with getting the slide button to work after upgrade to iOS 7.02 and 7.03

Ever since upgrading to iOS 7.02 and 7.03 having issues with getting the slide button to work to open up iPad 2. Happened last week and was able to restore it to new and get it to work again and it worked great until one week later (this morning) doing the same thing. Have tried restoring iPad to new 3 times (via itunes) and still unable to get the slide button to move so can use the iPad. IPad able to charge, able to restore, able to sync with itunes even able to recover but not able to get past first screen where you have to slide to access iPad. Any help would be greatly appeciated. Live about 300 miles from nearest Apple store.

I am beginning to wonder whether there isn't some weird problem with that Home button.
Try this: Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch = On
This will place a button on the iPad's screen.
You can move this button anywhere on the screen.
This button gives you - amongst many other things - a soft Home button.
To turn your iPad on, you can use the Sleep/wake button or move a small magnet across the bezel of the iPad where the volume controls are.
If you use the magnet, then: Settings > General > Lock / Unlock = On
Now should not need to press the Home button anymore.
If this method allows you to use your iPad without a hitch, then suspect hardware problems with the Home button.
