IPhone 4S shows Bars and 3G, no connection

I just got my iPhone 4S, and have had my AT&T connection activated, I show plenty of bars, and the status bar reflects a 3G signal, but I am not able to connect to internet, make calls or use SIRI without WiFi. Texting also does not work. I have tried resetting network connection, replacing sim card, and have had no luck. Am going to schedule a Genius Bar appointment but would be very happy if I can cancel it. HELPP

Got e-mail from Apple stating that there were "features with my account that were incompatible with my new iPhone". Lady was very nice, tried serveral things and at the end of about 1/2 hour, she said that my iPhone was now fully activated, though I was no better off, plus my 3GS now was nothing more than an iPod now. She referred me to Technical Support (I already had a Genius Bar Appointment Scheduled). Woke up this morning to give the phone another try, and lo and behold it WORKS! I had read on MacRumors that there was some glitch with the network configurations centrally (at AT&T or Apple) and once it was sorted out it took about 24 hours for the changes to make it downstream to the user. Maybe this is a ray of light for some. Just glad I am no longer the holder of a 64Gig $400 brick. Good Luck to all!

IPhone 5, 3-bars and "LTE" but no internet connectivity in certain spot...

I have an iPhone5 with Verizon LTE and I get GREAT service all over San Francisco EXCEPT at my garage! I can't understand it, everywhere in the city: at home, at work (in the basement of a concrete building), all over the place I get full LTE service but for some reason in this ONE spot on a residential street two blocks from my house I'm having some problem. It's a garage I rent and in there, I have bars and it says "LTE" but the connection ALWAYS times out. Not just inside the garage, but just outside as well. Location is 23rd at San jose in San Francisco. I even typed the *3001#12345#* thing to see the exact numbers and they are -84 at the garage but around -100 at home and at work where I get great service. For some reason in this one spot, it will say I have service, but it can't connect.
Why does this happen??

@akpasta,
Thanks for keep us posted!
I show great coverage in that area and no reported issues with data. Has it always been this way in the garage? Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee service indoors, as there are many factors out of our control that can interfere with the signal. For issues while indoors we recommend our network extender http://vz.to/1b3bWa7. This is a great accessory and definitely worth the investment.
One thing you can try is resetting the network settings http://vz.to/1g5YUtN and removing the SIM card for a minute and retesting.
Keep us posted if you need further assistance.

Exchange - iPhone still shows deleted and cancelled appointments / meetings

I have an iPhone set up to correctly sync with Microsoft Exchange, and email and contacts appear to work correctly. The calendar, however, keeps showing appointments and meetings which were deleted, cancelled, or moved in the past. These are typically repeating meetings originally scheduled in Exchange by another person, where I accepted the meeting invite and then the meeting cancellation a while ago.
I am thinking of deleting the entire calendar and starting over, but somehow I'm not sure this will resolve the issue. Any advice?
(I have the iPhone set to sync mail, calendar, and contacts to my company's Exchange server).

Interesting; the turning sync off then back on approach seemed to work. Sort of. I did the following, and it seems to have worked -- for now:
1. In Microsoft Outlook on my Windows machine, I went and straightened up my schedule, declining any leftover meeting invitations (but not sending a reply) to all the items I wanted off of my schedule.
2. On my iPhone, went to Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendar, then the Exchange account. Calendars was set to "On" and I switched it off". Tapped on "Stop Syncing", and then I confirmed the calendar was erased from my iPhone.
3. Went back into Settings for the Exchange account, then switched Calendars back to "On". Made sure I had a WiFi/high speed connection active, since I'm on an original iPhone and re-loading my whole calendar over EDGE didn't seem like a good idea.
Also, not that it makes a difference, I also have my "Mail days to sync" set as far back as it'll go (1 Month).

Iphone not showing up in itunes & not connecting to computer

Rite...
When i plug my iphone into my computer (WinXP, SP2) via the dock and straight from the USB cable, it does not show up in iTunes, Windows does not recognise it as a USB device and the camera pop doesnt show up. Basically Windows isn't recognising it at all.
I've tried:
restarting my computer.
reinstalling itunes.
creating a new account on my pc, installing itunes and seeing if it connects; it did and worked fine, i logged out and and back onto my own profile, my iphone showed up and synched fine. I then restarted and the same problem occurred.
I've tried it in all my USB ports, and none want to read it. I have also tried other USB devices, which also don't want to be recognised. This wasn't the case a couple of days ago.
Also my iphone docked and synched fine after the upgrade both to itunes and the iphone.
Anyone else having this problem? I think it's a general USB problem with my PC, anyone have any ideas.
Argh it's annoying!!

I tried this:
"The problem seems to be that the install process treats everything PC like a Vista machine. If you go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE you'll find an oddly named directory inside it like usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B.
Go into it. You'll find USBAAPL.CAT, usbaapl.inf and usbaapl.sys.
What I did was right click on the .inf file and pick install (don't know for sure if it needed that, but I'm not going to omit any steps just in case).
Open up C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers and copy the usbaapl.sys file there.
Open up C:\WINDOWS\inf and copy usbaapl.inf there.
Again I right clicked on the .inf file copy in the C:\WINDOWS\inf directory and hit install. It then created the corresponding usbaapl.PNF in that directory.
I unplugged the pod from the usb port, rebooted the system, plugged the pod in again and voila, there it was. It found it and installed correctly"
Which didn't work.
- My iphone appears in the Services under 'Apple Mobile Device Service'
- I can't verify the iphones driver because nothing is showing up in device drivers/managment
-I have USB 2.0

IPhone 4S showing MNC and MCC

Hi,
I'm currently in South Africa, carrying an iPhone4S which I bought in Singapore about 2 years ago. I bought a card from 8.ta, which is one of the Mobile Operator in South Africa. The MicroSIM was inserted into my iPhone 4S and the Network name shown 655-02, which is the MCC and MNC for 8.ta. However, it stays like that without changing it to normal. While I put the same card into my iPad, it displayed 8.ta normally.
For the past two weeks I keep changing the same card from iPad to iPhone and vice versa, iPhone keeps showing 655-02 and the iPad keeps showing 8.ta. May I know how is these display names, which are corresponding to the MCC and MNC, are stored in the phone memory? How can I refresh the memory so that I can get my iPhone showing the right Operator name as usual?
In what condition the iPhone will try to refresh the PLMN and Service Provider Name? As far as I know the phone should read the Service Provider Name from the SIM card and displayed accordingly everytime they get the content from the SIM card, however iPhone looks like working another way round in achieving this, may I know how it is done?
Best regards,
Sean

I actually worked it out - I deleted it and started it back up again - not sure why it did it in the first place, but I did find others who had the problem and explained how to fix it:

IPhone 5 full bars and LTE but no internet (Verizon)

Good Evening,
I have an iPhone5 with Verizon LTE and I get GREAT service all over San Francisco EXCEPT at my garage! I can't understand it, everywhere in the city: at home, at work (in a basement), all over the place I get full LTE service but for some reason in this ONE spot on a residential street two blocks from my house I'm having some problem. It's a garage I rent and in there, I have bars and it says "LTE" but the connection ALWAYS times out. Not just inside the garage, but just outside as well. Location is 23rd at San jose in San Francisco. I even typed the *3001#12345#* to see the exact numbers and they are -84 at the garage but around -100 at home and at work, but I get great service at these places. For some reason in this one spot, it will say I have service, but it can't connect.
Why does this happen??

No, I'm really not sure if this is a hardware or carrier issue since the weird thing where it says I have service but the phone won't actually connect to any data.

Lightening cable iphone 5 shows peeling and the service provider says not covered under guarantee.I can see this is a clear case manufacturing defect.What is the remedy

I find the lightening cable that came with the iphone 5 showing peeling of rubber .
I had taken it to the local support (service point) who says it is not covered under warranty.
As an engineer I can vouch that this is a clear case of material defect.
What is my remedy
T.Srinivasan.
Chennai India

I had taken the Iphone 5 with lightening cable under warranty to the service supporter here in Chennai India and after logging in the complaint the support engineer had informed me that the same claim was rejected.
This happened a couple of months ago and now I find almost the entire cable has peeled off (Insulation).
Initially I thought there perhaps was a chance for handling (carrying etc in your laptop bag) that could have caused the same.Now I am convinced that the material defect is the problem.
Is there a way to bring this to the attention of Apple by email probably with a photo for them to appreciate my problem as the service support engineer authorised is unable to appreciate the problem.
Thanks for your reply
T.Srinivasan Chennai,India
