IOS5 and Phone Signal Issues

A problem... is there a reason why, since upgrading my iPhone 3GS to IOS5, that my 3G and WIFI signal seems to cut out constantly. When ever I try to use the internet (WIFI or 3G) the phone seems to go into a cycle of 'no signal' 'searching' 'full signal'.
Anyone else had this issue? Any ideas what might be the problem / solution?

I aqm having the same problem. I have a 3GS phone, but my signal was fine when I was using 4.3.3.....
I have now been without a cell signal now for almost 24 hours. My phone is also used for Business, and this is killing me. My Wifi has no issues, just the cell signal. It toggles between searching, and no service. How can apple get away with this. I am paying for a service, that I am not getting. Hopefully Apple will at least acknowledge this problem, and let us know what are they going to do about this. Apple should pay my cell phone bill, while my Iphone is unable to not get a signal !!!!

My partner updated to IOS 5 last night on his iPhone 4 and can no longer pick up any wifi signal and phone signal is dire in areas where he had no problem before... anyone having similar issues??

After updating to IOS 5 on an iPhone 4 can no longer get wifi in my home and phone signal is terrible and drops out taking up to 10 mins to re-appear... anyone else having these sort of problems??

I am having similar problems on my new iPhone 4S
My mac gets good wifi connection in the same location. I measured the signal strength -- something like -77db signal vs. -90db noise.
But my iPhone WiFi keeps cutting in and out. In fact, I left my phone on last night to update various apps over WiFi. When I checked it this a.m. I had received several warning messages from AT&T that I was nearing my 3G data limit. I looked at my phone and it had consumed nearly 100mb of cellular data overnight, when it should have been connected over WiFi.
Needless to say, it's taken some of the thrill away from my new iPhone...

What's the connection between data connections (3G/4G/WiFi) and phone signal strength (calls)?

At home I'm almost always on my wifi with the 3G/4G turned off. I've turned it on to experiment, and I get 3G in my house, but the reception (to make and receive phone calls) stays at 0 to 1 bars. There is a Target store about a 10 minute walk from my house and I get 4G LTE when I'm shopping there, but the reception (calls) is still weak, maybe better but I can't tell you offhand.
There is a Verizon tower about 6 miles southwest of my home; they actually had me drive out and sit under it last winter to fix a Droid Pro problem once.
I absolutely do not understand how 3G and 4G relate to call signal strength, as it's been eluded to in other discussions. I'm getting the impression that it affects the signal strength for phone calls, but then how can I (on my old phone) toggle it off and still have signal for calls? When I drive into the heart of 4G LTE country I can turn off the data and still have 4 or 5 bars. What's the connection between data and phone signal strength?

Assistance needed no connection and phone signal

Could anyone help me out please
I have no internet connection since noon and phone has no signal as well so unable to call you and chat is never available.There is no known issues on your status page I tried already all self healing options even tried new microfilters still no internet connection and no internet light on hub.

The status page will only show issues if they are widespread.
Unfortunately the only way to report faults is by the phone or by calling from the Sky service app for Apple or Android smartphones.

Literally just got the iPhone 4s and had signal issue and it got replaced at the apple store. Did they give me a refurb? My phone was brand spanking new!!!!

Perhaps.

Centro MMS, Roaming and phone-on issue

VZW Centro symptoms:
-Won’t fetch pic msg& "communication error" if send pic msg. MMS services enabled on my account &it has worked smoothly til now.
- MMS activity indicator swirls and shows 0% til it times out.
-Phone service won’t turn on unless remove battery each time; then it roams everywhere til I call carrier to update roam capabilities.
I've tried soft, hard &factory resets- issue remains.
Any suggestions?
This began after I created a new network connection in preferences &then deleted it.

Hi Simon,
no, we did not solve this problem. At the time we are focussing on Windows 8.1 app development. But still wondering why there is no statement on this issue from the ui5 development team ... let me here from you, when you get more Information.

My iPhone 5 has lost all connections to 3G and phone signal

For the past 2 weeks my iPhone 5 says searching in the top left corner of the screen. It will connect to wifi but not 3G or my EE phone network. There are currently no appointments available at the Genius Bar local to me. Has anyone experienced the same issue with their phone?

IPhone 6 and Bluetooth phone connectivity issues with my vehicle: this is how I fixed it.

With so many threads on this topic, I wanted to detail the steps I took to fix my iPhone 6 Bluetooth issues regarding connectivity to my vehicle and handsfree calling. My phone was pairing with my vehicle without a problem and syncing my contacts and call history but when I attempted to make a call (from either the phone or the vehicle screen) the audio went out and I could not hear the call either through the vehicle speakers or on the phone. The call was going through but I was unable to see it on my vehicle screen and/or hear it either the phone or the vehicle screen.
Based on my research and what I have learned so far, the people having problems are those who restored their new iPhone 6 from an iCloud backup from a previous phone, rather than setting up their iPhone 6 as a new phone. I did an iCloud restore from my previous 5s running iOS 8.
First, I am a Verizon customer and I enabled Advanced Calling on my line. After I requested that this feature be added to my line, under “Cellular” settings on my iPhone, I enabled LTE voice & data.
Next steps:
1) Unpair/remove iPhone from the vehicle;
2) Forget/remove the vehicle from the phone Bluetooth settings;
3) Soft reset the iPhone;
4) Reset network settings on the iPhone; and
5) Pair the phone to the vehicle again and attempt to make a call.
If that does not work…
6) Perform a factory reset, erasing EVERYTHING from your phone and set it up as a new iPhone rather than restoring from a backup.
Resetting the network settings seems to be working for some people. It did not work for me. I tried it a few times with no result. I did the dreaded factory reset, paired the phone with my vehicle and had all of my Bluetooth functionality back and was able to use the handsfree phone with zero issues.
I was on the phone yesterday multiple times with Apple, Toyota Entune, Verizon and my Toyota dealer. Verizon blamed Toyota Entune, Toyota Entune blamed Verizon and my Toyota dealer blamed Apple. Nobody had a clue how to fix this issue or what was causing it. I don’t know the exact reason why the previous iCloud backups are killing the Bluetooth connections, I just know what worked for me and I thought it was worth sharing.
Good luck.

The new 8.0.2 update DID NOT FIX THIS ISSUE AT ALL. After you power off and on with the phone, same issue as the 8.0, all 3 of my cars lost Bluetooth connection and shows no signal at all. Good job Apple, what a lousy update you guys did.

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! :)

N8 poor signal reception and other hardware issues...

I have always been a Nokia fan . I started with Nokia 6600, then N70, then N82 and now a Nokia N8.
However, I am facing the worst experience with N8 reception issues.
The problems faced are as under :
1) Poor Signal Reception Issues - Signal strength is weak and is constantly fluctuating compared to other Nokia Phones. At my workplace, if Nokia N82 displays 5 bars, N8 would display only 1 or 2 bars.
2) Phone freezes many times. Whenever an Alarm is enabled, phone freezed much more.
3) Purple Tint in the display. Nokia Service Centre says that its normal but according to me, they are just ignoring this issue.
4) Vibration is weak : I often do not realize when the phone is vibrating in my pocket !!
Upcoming Symbian Anna will just improve the user interface but will not be able to solve these hardware issues.
If Nokia plans a hardware update facility for N8 users wherein they can fix the signal reception issues and increase the RAM to 1 GB atleast, I would retain this phone for few years.
But, now, I intend to switch to Samsung Galaxy S II.
Your views solicited.

I am agree with poor signal issue with nokia N8. I have two cell with one is N8 and other one is N26 with nearly 4.5 year old but at same place Nokia N8 showing very poor quality of network signal compared to N26. So for same network provider with two different cell with same manufacture how can drastic different that is also investing nearly RS.22000!
Please resolve the issue ASAP.

Need Help with Signal and No Service Issue

I switched out my phone Saturday after Genius ran diagnostic and said it was a hardware issue dropping so many calls. I also got a new Sim card in the newest series. I was feeling good and confident until I went to work and the signal dropped to No Service and remained that way all day. I called At&t and was treated rather rudely by a supervisor, who said that maybe I should find a different carrier, because I seem to be a problem customer. (I guess for reporting issues.) I don't know what to do anymore. He told me to take the replacement back to Apple and have them test it again. Can anyone help me?

Try th steps provided in the article below:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
If after following the steps in the article the issue remains then make sure you back up your iPhone and as you said book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

Need help Phone signal going on and off

I need help with my Z3, I just installed the new update (23.0.1.A.5.77) and the phone signal won't connect. It keeps fluctuating off and on. It was working perfectly fine before the update. I even did a reset but its still the same.

Hi Flexatron,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Did you by chance try simply removing the SIM card from the handset for around 30 seconds and putting it back in and restarting.
This could be a simple communications issue with the SIM.
let us know how you get on.
