Iphone 4 signal fix

Steps
-- Read Anandtech article on iPhone 4 signal strength and identify location of antenna stops.
-- Take standard insulation tape and cut strips slightly thicker than metal strip and long enough to cover antenna gap.
-- Apply tape do the two locations using graphics from Anandtech article.

Sorry about that. Did not search properly before posting.

Iphone 5gs signal strength - turn of LTE

Another post suggested turning off cellular LTE on the iphone 5gs to fix the low signal strenth issue - WORKS. immediate change from 2 - 3 bars to 4. He said he thinks this is a carrier problem - not the iphone. I use ATT he used another - I think Verison. Thanks

LTE and HSPA+ ("4G") are separate networks. So the strength on either one can be weaker or stronger than the other, depending on location of the towers. On my 5S near my home LTE is stronger than 4G. Where I work 4G is stronger than LTE. But even when 4G is stronger LTE is still faster.
Verizon is different. Verizon doesn't have an equivalent of HSPA+; the alternative to LTE is EVDO, which is a CDMA protocol and is quite a bit slower than HSPA+ on AT&T. Verizon's LTE was once very fast, but due to their success their network buildout has not kept up with the increasing load, so LTE on Verizon is quite a bit slower than LTE on AT&T or T-Mobile in many areas.

Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Use on WiFi Bug

If you have been seeing higher cellular data usage while you are on WiFi, good news, Verizon has fixed this bug. All you need to do is update your Carrier Settings to 13.1 and the bug is fixed.
For directions on how to update your Carrier Settings, see:
Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Data Use on WiFi Bug - EVDOinfo.com
Be interesting to see if this fixes the issues for all those having the problem

I have the exact same problem!
I'm using the iPhone 5 now under Carrier M1 Singapore 13.0 and I have noted that over a period of 2 weeks, my cellular data usage has been about 2.7GB on an average. Since I know my bill has been capped at 3GB, I have since switched off my cellular data.
However, when I switched it on for a few days after using it for awhile, my cellular usage jumped by 1.2GB in just 1 day! And I used it as I would on an average day (like during an average day in the 2 weeks)!
I understand that there have been reports of a bug that have caused this problem in the US.

http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/10/iphone-5-cellular-data-usage-over-wifi-bug-on -other-carriers.html
But I'm hoping that there's a solution for those living in Singapore? Do I seek the help from my carrier as well? But if it's a problem with the phone, then my carrier definitely would not help, right?

WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
or
B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

ICloud the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone, how to fix this?

i have problem here on iCloud using my iPhone when i log in it says "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone" how to fix this guys? please reponse

You would have to contact Apple and see if they would grant an exception and allow you to create another one. There's nothing you can do on your phone (that I know of) to correct this.

You must take it back to an Apple Store in the US. The warranty is not international. You cannot send it from Chile as Apple does not accept international shipments.

My iPhone carrier signal strength is not good

I have a "case" open with Apple for poor carrier signal strength after upgrading my iP5 to iOS7.
Please make sure you open a case with Apple.

I just got my battery and iphone 4 screen fixed and when it turned off because there weren't any battery left, I tried charging it. Now it won't turn on or charge... what do i do?

I just got my battery and iphone 4 screen fixed and when it turned off because there weren't any battery left, I tried charging it. After charging it for like thirty minutes, I pressed the home & lock button and it turned on for a moment for me to see that it was only at 1%... So basically it wasn't charging for that entire half hour. Then, I tried connecting it to my computer and nothing is popping up... so it won't turn on or charge... what do i do?

Who repaired the phone? I suggest taking it back to this repair facility. Since Apple replaces phones instead of repair, the repair facility would be the one to take care of your problem.

I recently had my cracked iPhone 4 screen fixed, the lady who did it told me my light sensor was broken.. How can I get a new one installed??

I recently had my cracked iPhone 4 screen fixed, the lady who did it told me my light sensor was broken.. How can I get a new one installed?? i noticed there was something wrong when I talk on the phone it will mute, hold or speaker the calls. It's very annoying how can I fix the light sensor

Was your cracked screen fixed by an Authorized Apple Service Provider? I may be wrong, but I didn't think they fixed such things.
Regardless of who fixed it, and whether it was an authorized repair or not, I recommend bringing it back to the agency that fixed it in the first place. But note if the repairing agency is not authorized by Apple, you may not want to spend much more money on repairs there for this unit.

Has anyone having an issue with the iphone 6 signal cell strength on Verizon?

Is anyone having an issue with the iPhone 6 signal on Verizon?

I'm having the same issue as most of you on this forum. my current OS is 4.3.5 and after a factory reset, the camera started working fine, however, once i done the restore the camera reverted back to the same issue - "the shutter on the screen wont open, and the still/video switch just flashes" - what is more strange is, i have the HP home&biz app installed and this has a camera function and the camera seems to work fine with that, therefore suggesting there is nothing wrong with the hardware and this is a software issue. I'm currently awaiting a member of the Apple support team to call me about this, will keep you posted. BTW - someone suggested, going into Location Services and switching off the camera and apparantly, the issue was resolved for them, unfortunatly, this didn't work for me extremly odd issue indeed!

Have brand new iphone 4s. Wifi signal is very weak even when very close to router. I have also an iPod Touch and when both are side by side, the iPod wifi signal is excellent and the iPhone wifi signal is very poor??!!! Hardware issue? or software issue? I was hoping it is just a software issue, but...
Saw may web sites discussing this same issue; many discussions point to hardware problems but there is no official word from Apple about it, which is disapointing !?? Few discussions point to software problem with solutions based on try and error, and they don't seem to work.

did not help at all; the problem continues the same

How much does it cost to get an iphone 5 screen fixed?

How much does it cost to get an iphone 5 screen repaired?

Apple just replaces the entire iPhone instead of fixing screens...go to an Apple store genius bar and see what you qualify for under an out-of-warranty replacement - if you bought AppleCare+ it will be significantly under the cost of a new iPhone 5.

What part of your iphone 4s needs fixing if you can't make or receive

what part of my iphone 4s needs fixing if I can't make or receive?

Apple doesn't "fix" iPhones. They replace the entire phone. Apple also does not sell parts, so if you're going to attempt some kind of repair yourself, keep in mind that all the parts you can get are either counterfeit, stolen, or salvaged from non-working phones.
