Iphone 4S Limited Connectivity After IOS 7 Upgrade

I have upgraded to IOS 7 a month ago.  Since that time, I frequently lose internet connectivity (says limited connectivity) using my personal hotspot as my only source for my home computers.   I had no issues with IOS 6 at all.  Can someone please help me?  I lost connectivity 3 times while typing this short message!
Thank you,
Dale

    I can see exactly why connection loss would be frustrating, dalebwilson! If you check on the hotspot troubleshooting http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756, does it all look good?

  • Poor Cellular Connection after iOS 8 Upgrade

    Hi Apple Support,
    I have upgraded my iPhone5 to iOS 8 and after the upgrade i am getting very poor Cellular connectivity.
    Talking in terms of the "4 small Circles" adjacent to Carrier name . it used to be all 4 circles always.
    but after the upgrade its either one or two only....
    and due to this there is frequent call drops
    Please help to resolve this

    I have been to Apple store twice now on this issue. We have tried all of the above suggestions-- restore, network reset, re-installing SIM card-- and the problem always returns. The Genius Bar tech told me the IOS update brought out a latent problem hidden in the firmware -- in other words, it is a problem caused by Apple, but not everyone experiences this problem. The tech also told me there was nothing more that could be done, short of buying a new ipad. I asked about going back to the earlier IOS version but she said Apple will not allow that at this point. So it sounds to me like a "forced obsolescence" thing that Apple has inflicted on me: they admit their update brought out a problem, previously unmanifested, which had always been lurking in their firmware-- but their solution is that I need to ditch my ipad 2 and buy a new ipad. I never had this type of issue before the upgrade. the problem is more of a nuisance/inconvenience than anything else, because it can be rectified by powering down every few hours, so it's not worth it to me to spend hundreds on a new ipad. And anyway if this is an example of their customer service I'm not sure I will stay with Apple when it finally is time to buy a new tablet.

  • Iphone won't activate after iOS 6 upgrade

    Hi all,
    Went to backup my daughters iPhone and iTunes said that a new iOS (6) was availible and I should update. I did so and follwed all the instructions. the update seemed to go well. The Phone then rebooted and started with the grey iPhone screen and it asked to be reactivated.  i again follwed procedure but I kept on getting "...iPhone could not be activated  because the activation server is temporarily unavailabe..." message. I have tried this countless times, including resetting my modem/router so I dont believ that is the apple servers.
    What is the issue and how can I restore it?
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    Did u guys get this fixed? I have a friend with exactly the same problem!
    Upgrade a 3GS on 4.1 or 4.2 (don't remember) using the latest iTunes and it patched to iOS 6.
    Once there it's stuck in activation. Since the person has no wifi but only 3G network, the only option is to activate using iTunes which doesn't work. Though that PC is perfectly connected to the internet.
    Never jailbroken... now we're thinking that actually jailbreaking might be the only fix?!

  • Iphone 4s not working after ios 7 upgrade

    Ever since i have updated my iphone 4s to ios 7my phone has stuck in recovery mode and when i connectect to itunes it keeps coming up with unknown error occurred. Please help my mobile has been out of action since Friday.

    My 4S had an initial issue with the initial 7.0 update coming up with unknown error occurred.  I looked on the Apple site and was able to see that if I downloaded itunes again and resynced it should work.  I did that and it did work. Then the 7.02 update came out the other day.  I downloaded it and it crashed my phone with the 4103 error.  Another user on the Apple community noted they kept tapping the home screen while the update was occuring and their phone finally came back up.  After four days of trying to get the phone back online and forwarding to another cell just to have cell service, it is workin after we tapped the home key during the entire install update and that worked.  Now my phone is back online and Apple did not even know that that would fix it.  Now they do.

  • IPhone 4S app problems after IOS 7 upgrade

    Following upgrading to IOS 7, some apps aren't working properly on my iPhone 4S:
    The twitter app appear only as a small version in the middle of the screen and I can't do anything with it (I've tried deleting it and reinstalling it)
    The facebook app does the same.
    I can't seem to find a way to sort these out. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Basic troubleshooting (which has not changed since iOS1) is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • JBL Radial dock no longer works on iPhone 4 after iOS 5 upgrade.

    JBL Radial dock no longer charges my  iPhone 4 after iOS 5 upgrade however I still Can play music.

    OK a bit of success over the weekend. Not sure if it will help you guys. So i have an IPHONE 3gs and it would not play any music through the JBL but it would ring (through the JBL speaker) and charge while connected.
    I sync'ed through itunes and made sure i had the latest version of both itunes and the IOS on the phone. Then pushed some podcasts and albums down from my computer to the iphone through the computer.
    This must have sone something as now everythign works fine. all radio and music apps now play through the JBL.
    Hope this helps.

    Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), and release.  If that doesn't work, connect to iTunes, go to the Summary tab and Restore.

  • Internet not connecting after ios 7.0.2 update on iphone 5

    Internet not connecting after ios 7.0.2 update on iphone 5

    Hi there PompasJr,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Camera isn't functioning
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

    How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

    There is no reason to be running beta software, I doubt it will even still run as iOS 6 has been officially released.  Or were you simply trying to be funny?

  • After iOS 5 upgrade my "artists" are all screwed up on my iPhone but are fine on my iTunes. ANY SOLUTIONS?? HELP!!

    After iOS 5 upgrade my "artists" are all screwed up on my iPhone but are fine on my iTunes. ANY SOLUTIONS?? HELP!!

    I had a similar problem to you that I have since solved.
    At first only some albums/songs were missing artwork but they all showed up fine in itunes. I went into itunes and did the view where the album art is displayed next to the album in a list, middle option for viewing. I found that on several 1-2 songs did not have the artwork attached and so that was the cause of it not showing up on my iphone. However after I got all that solved I found that the artworks were all messed up. Much like you described many songs had the complete wrong artwork and some songs on the same album had different artworks or the same artwork showed up on multiple albums.
    I could only come up with resyncing my iphone to solve it. I only use one playlist for my iphone so that I can sort of do manual management and only have to deal with one playlist. So I unchecked the playlist and did a sync to clear off all the audio. Then I rechecked the playlist and did a sync to reload everything and after that was done everything appeared correctly.
    I didn't notice if this was affecting any of my purchased albums, I don't have that many so I didn't think about it but affected a lot of them. I hope this helps in some way and that you can get it working again.

  • The last backup could not be completed - iPhone 5 after iOS 7 upgrade

    I'm using iPhone 5 & iPad with Retina Display.
    iCloud backup was used for both devices.
    Now everytime I try to backup manually, it says 'The last backup could not be completed.' after iOS 7 upgrade.
    Auto backup isn't working, either.
    I tried several things like backing up using iTunes then deleting previous backups then turnning iCloud backup again, or turning off Camera Roll in backup option , or holding the power button and home button to reset the device.
    None of them worked yet.
    What should I do?
    I just have noticed that I cannot find iPhone 5 among the products registered with my apple ID below before I was posting.
    Is it concerned with my apple ID or something? Not the devices?

    since i upgraded to iphone 6 have the same issus. that includ in my Ipad - probably something happened wiht the Apple ID.
    nothun is working/ and when i plug the divces to Itunes - it says that "Itunes coulnd not back up iphone/ipad an error accourd.
    can someone help me?!
    I deleted last backups and still nothing.
    i tried to backup with another authrized computer and other network and still nothing!
    thanks ahead!

  • Itunes taking more time to Sync after IOS 6 upgrade

    itunes taking more time to Sync apps data after IOS 6 upgrade in iphone 4s. Also itunes is getting hanged and is very slow. I tried twice and still having the same issue.

    I also noticed that. Even with a cable connection. Just a small pdf file hangs forever.
    Forever ... 12/15 seconds maybe? It's a long time really, for such a small sync.
    File transfer not so much! That behaves normally here, as one would expect with iOS5 and previous versions before iTunes 10.7.
    It's the first steps. Doing whatever it is doing. Those are definitely slower now. It takes a while until it starts the actual transfer.
