Iphone 4 antenna problem not so fix

ok so you guys fix the problem with the iphone 4 bumper case , the problem is that my iphone 4 cost too much money to put it in a case that doesn't protect that much , i have my iphone 4 in a really protective case , and i have problems with the antenna , not to much , but i have them , so i suggest to make a really really protective iphone 4 case , that will fix the antenna problem , and i hope you guys do it , dont wait until the iphone 4g or 5

This is a user to user help forum ONLY. You are not addressing Apple here.
The only thing a case does in this regard is prevent you from bridging the small gap in the antenna at the lower left of the iPhone with skin. The only thing. If you have a problem when using any case that prevents this and there are a number of 3rd party cases to choose from - the case industry for the iPhone (all models) is a significant industry by itself, call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

I can live with iphone 4 antenna problem but not with proximity sensor...

I did not face much trouble with antenna issue.. may be I am having good signal.. but certainly I am facing proximity sensor issue.. out of every 5 calls I have problem with at least 2 to 3 calls going to mute or starting facetime or opening address book etc...

I feel 100% the same. I am wondering if all these people complaint of the signal strength issue are really actually experiencing the proximity problem and just don't know it. This is beyond annoying.

Bt hub 3, itunes, iphone, ipad syncing problems - not seen

Im using the new infinity BT hub 3 and there are now issues with syncing the iphone, ipad and itunes. iTunes does not see them as devices consistantly and when it does (looking for "device"), it says it is not available to sync (not found on the network) and promply they disappear from the upper right hand corner. BT say it's an itunes issue.
I have tried changing from WPA to WEP but this doesn't work, nor does plugging the computer into the ethernet.
The devices show as being on the network by the router, but are not available to sync in itunes
What do we think people? Any ideas to fix this?

As a fallback you could try using the usb cable rather than wifi.
However to you main problem with the wifi. I to have BT infinity and not only was I having issues with not seeing the devices but also a slow speed of streaming to Apple TV3.
Turns out my issue was interference on the wifi from other wifi networks on the same channel.
Mountain Lion has a new wifi utility details here
http://9to5mac.com/2012/07/31/use-mountain-lions-new-wi-fi-scan-utility-to-optim ize-your-home-wireless-network/
Found thayt there seemed to be 3 or 4 houses on channel 6, Changed mine to channel 11, via the BT hub admin page. When everyting settled down again plugged in my devices via USB made sure they were wifi sync enabled and now all works as it should.
If you do not run mountain lion then look for istumbler on google, does the same job and its free

I live in Jersey channel islands so here there is no Apple shop normal I upgrade my phone with Jersey telecom but comes up very expensive so I ask A friend to buy it at apple shop in england June last Year, how can I get this fix I think the problem started when I update my phome to version 6.0 now updated to 6.0.1.
This is my 3rd apple I started with 2G, 3GS and now Iphone 4s.
Can you please help to fix it?
Kindly regards
Nick Gomes

Ok Joe,
You have probably resolved your issue by now. However, I had the same issue. It was not the case (since I do not use one), it was not that it needed to be hard re-set. The noise cancellation in some of the more recent updates seems to be atleast in part the culprit. Oddly, not only do you have to turn off the noise cancellation, but also turn on the hearing aide mode. Sort of surprising Apple has not had a good fix for this as of yet. Hope this works for you.

IPhone 4s texting problems - not alerting

No other problems with the 4s except texting issue! My phone is not alerting me (Dinging) when someone sends me a text message. Sometimes it does and sometimes it does not, but 99% of teh time it does not. It started a week or two before the iO6 was released. I thought the iO6 would fix the issue but it did not. If the phone goes to “sleep” on its own while I have the message window open the phone will definitely NOT “ding”. The only way I can make it “ding” every time is to double tap the home button and close the message program from running in the background. If I push the home button and manually put the phone to sleep with it running in the background, it will not ding. It will only ding everytime if the phone is awake.
I called Verizon and they don’t know what the problem is and since the phone is less than a year old they sent me a new one today. It worked fine all day but tonight it started all over again. It’s happening from everyone who sends me a text, regardless of their phone type or carrier!
I have restored and reloaded the phone twice (old phone and new phone) and it’s not correcting the issue. I have changed alert tones, banners, everything! No fix! I’m so mad I want to scream! Is this a conspiracy to get people to buy the iphone 5???? lol
Anyone?? Anyone?? HELP

It does it to anyone that texts me... all contacts. I use the same text tone for everyone.
Called Verizon again today and they told me they are seeing more of this same problem and forwarded me to Apple. Apple, or the lady i talked to, hasnt heard of this problem. She wants me to factory rest the phone again and then do a back-up install. If this doesnt work i am to call back with my case number and speak to some special technician.
I will post my results later...

Apple please address Iphone 4s Antenna Problems/Hiss/Static

Why hasn't Apple addressed and released any statement on this problem that is apparently broad based on the 4s with many people expeirencing the static/hissing interface on phone calls? Phone replacements are expereincing the same problem. Users are reporting that the static/hiss interference can be stopped by placing hand and covering the top two antenna bands. When calls have completed/ended the nosie can be heard from the back of the phone. Is there any more confirmation on this? Will Apple please speak up?

Presumably you know this is not the place to address Apple ... But you can (and have) asked us other users about their situation.

Iphone 4 antenna Problem?

Hi
Can anyone with an iPhone 4 confirm if the reception issue (antennagate) occurs ONLY if the *gap between the two antennas (wifi and 3g) is bridged (connected)* with your finger?
OR if it *happens even* when you touch the bottom left corner of the phone without bridging the gap between the two antennas?

Both. The issue occurs most notably in poor outdoor reception areas or indoors where most testing was done (CR, PhoneDog, etc tested indoors). Mostly tested with 3 bars in 4.0.1 or 4-5 bars in 4.0. If you use a smartphone as covering the whole phone on the left palm, this can interrupt the signal unless you keep away from the black line.
The typical way people hold normal phones is by the fingertips, not the palm, during phone conversations. Just avoid putting your fingers on the black line and put it in the center of the sides and you won't have the issue.
Data entering, people would cover the phone when texting or surfing the web. This would lower the bars significantly while surfing the web.

Bluetooth mouse dies--seems an old problem not yet fixed

When idle for few minutes, my plain (not magic)bluetooth mouse disconnects, and often take a complete restart to reconnect. I've read all posts I can find, and have new batteries and fresh updates on my Mac Mini.

Oh... one thing I forgot to add. Even after sliding the laser cover back and forth, I still get no red lights. (and this happened on the first mouse I had too).
It's acting like the mouse is dead. I find that incredible b/c I was JUST using the mouse before it told me the batteries were dying!

Riddle me this about the iphone 4 antenna problem....

I upgraded to an iphone 4 from an iphone 3g. My wife still has an iphone 3g.
We were having dinner at a restaurant which is in the basement of a building. My wife didn't have any bars with 3.12 firmware while I had bars on my iphone4. I actually received a couple of text messages during our dinner. (that's how I noticed I had coverage).

I would like to further state that in surrounding towns where I live, I have experienced the death grip issue in weaker signal areas.
I believe that (at least in the US), ATT cel towers either need a hardware upgrade or software upgrade to fully be optimized for the iphone 4.
Essentially, I think the death grip issues are tower specific.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.

My iPhone will ring but not play music. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple. If no coverage, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

Iphone 4 - IO6 Problem: My apps are stuck on "loading" - no new apps will install. Status bar is stuck, so apps will not install. How to fix?

Iphone 4 - IO6 Problem: After upgrading to the absoulte crap that is IO6, one of my apps is stuck on "loading" and no new apps will install. If I delete this "loding app" (which happens to be iMovie), the next app that tries to install gets stuck on "loading" and every other app gets stuck on "waiting." How to fix??

I had the same issue and tried several options like rebooting, resyncing, deleting and reinstalling apps, restarting the network connection but none of them worked. Eventually I opened iTunes on my iPhone (not on Mac) to find that it had two pending downloads that was stopping the rest of the apps from loading fully. You need to cancel them by swiping left to right over the listed apps and select cancel/delete. It worked for me. Good luck!
