IPhone 4S takes ages to refresh mobile signal

My new iPhone 4S has just been delivered and I switched to use it from my old iPhone 4. Despite the apparently better signal level of 4S, I found it is annoying that whenever I enter areas with no mobile coverage (e.g. Lift, underground carpark, etc.) and then come back to areas with mobile signals, it always take up to several minutes for the iPhone 4S to be able to pick up mobile signals. My old iphone 4 (with IOS 4.3.3) will have mobile signal pick up nearly immediately. Is my iPhone 4S faulty or is it a common problem of iPhone 4S? Any fix for that?

Can someone please check this one out for me. mine takes about 60 to 70 seconds to connect. please just switch off and switch on and let me know pleeeaaasee
Thanks in advance.

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Thank you very much for your reply gdgmacguy :) I did all you suggested apart from restore as new device . Didn't know I could do that . After restore I did restore from back up only, as I didn't want to end up without contacts details on my phone. If I restore as new device how do I get my all contacts? Still will have to use back up? Sorry if it sounds like I don't know what i am doing, i just have no one to ask who would know. Thank you

FAST enabled MView takes ages to refresh

Hi All,
I have a materlialized view which is based on a single fact table ( OAS_BALANCE_UNIONED 11,445,156 rows) and a bunch of dimension tables each containing limited number of rows (a typical start schema).
The conditioins to make the mview fast refreshable have been met so the mview created successfully with the FAST option.
The mview then worked just fine after than and had been refreshing FAST (6 minutes) for the whole day till other mviews started to refresh in the same time. Some of those mviews read from some of the base tables of the mview in question. Since then, the mivew has started to take ages (3 hours) to refresh. There is surely something wrong because the COMPLETE refresh was faster than that.
Later, I stopped all the refresh jobs of the other mviews. Yet, the FAST mview still has the same problem of taking ages to refresh.
When I monitored the session that refreshes the mview, I noticed in the "Long Ops" that
most of the time is spent on a step named as "Hash Join" (it appears in the Message column). Hash join occurrs because of the outer join.
Why my FAST mview suddenly started to take so long time to refresh?
How can I make my FAST mivew really refresh fast?

Hard to say why the refresh is now slow. Possibilties include
* system resources implemented by the fast refresh
* something changed on the query making the background query run slowly
Look at the query first. 18 tables, with almost every join an outer join. Some of the tables appear more than once in the query.
Get an executioion plan to see how the query is being executed.

IPhone Backup takes ages since 2.0

Since upgrading to 2.0 whenever I sync my iPhone in iTunes the backup process takes about 15mins however previously this would take just a few seconds. Any ideas why this might be? It seems like iTunes is trying to backup everything on the iPhone including all the media 10GBs worth? Is there an option to stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance!
Jon

I dont have a solution for this, nor do i have the same problem, but i do know that the backup basically takes an image of all your iphone apart from the songs and videos.
I rencently had to replace my iphone and they gave me a new one, i took it home and restored from the last back up through itunes and the phone was exactly the same as how my previous one was set up - icons in the menu moved to the same position, same apps, same email accounts set up, same pictures, same setting etc.
I am not excusing this because it shouldnt take more than about 2 mins to back up, however just thought i would shed some light on what the backup is doing.

Nokia N95 8GB takes ages refreshing even for one t...

Hi All.
I have had this REALLY frustrating problem...
Every time i add a track to my phone, then i refresh it takes AGES to update the library.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Nokia N97 Mini
V: 10.0.020 : 14/10/09
RM-555
Old: N95 8GB : V 20.0.016 : 28/09/08 : RM-320

The reason it takes a while is that the phone has to scan all memory every time you refresh, doesn't matter whether you're adding/removing 1 track or 1,000 as the phone doesn't know what needs to be added without checking.
One of the downsides of having more space.
If you're deleting tracks from the library, you can still listen to other tracks while this is happening: I listen to a lot of podcasts and always delete the ones I've aleady listened to as I'm listening to a new one. Again, deleting 10 tracks together takes the same time as deleting one.
If you want to listen to a track you've just added, you can do this while the music player library refreshes, just start playing it using file manager then switch to the library to do the refresh.

How can I bulk delete contacts from my iPhone 4S? I've imported contacts from gmail and hotmail, many of which I don't need. Deleting them individually will take ages, there must be a quicker way. Also, are my contacts taking up space on my iPhone or

How can I bulk delete contacts from my iPhone 4S? I've imported them from gmail and hotmail and there are many more than I need. Deleting them one by one will take ages, there must be a quicker way! Also, do contacts take up space on the phone or are they stored remotely?
Thanks.. J

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

HT201401 My iphone 4 on ios 7 (t mobile uk) only receives 2G signals not 3G.

My iphone 4 on ios 7 (t mobile uk) only receives 2G signals not 3G. 3G only works when network settings are reset. Not sim problem because it works on another Iphone just not on mine. I tried contacting t mobile they gave me boosts but worked for 30 minutes and then back to 2G. I tried restoring without back up and everything. Any suggestions?

Iphone 6 t-mobile signal comes and goes

I've been a t-mobile customer for over a year with an iPhone 4 and 5s and few problems. With the iPhone 6, my t-mobile signal is non-existant in some areas or disappears. Restarting phone restores signal or establishes it where none existed previously. Is this a hardware problem?

I've done most of the things listed below. In some cases it has restored my service. I've owned four previous iPhones. I've never had to do this with any of the other ones. Even if some of these things restores the signal, why should I need to do them with this iPhone 6 when I've never had to do them with the previous models?
If you're in your carrier's coverage area
Follow these steps, testing after each.
Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Restart your device.
Remove the SIM card. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or if it's too big or small for the SIM tray, contact your carrier for a new one. Then reinsert the SIM card.
Check for a carrier-settings update: Connect to a Wi-Fi network, tap Settings > General > About, and install any available carrier-settings updates. If you can't connect to Wi-Fi, connect your device to a computer that has iTunes.
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues.
Restore your iPhone.
If you see No Service while roaming or traveling
You might be outside of your carrier's coverage area. If you're traveling internationally, you'll need an international roaming plan to use your iPhone or iPad.

ITunes takes ages to load

When it finally does it takes ages to be able to select anything and when I plug in either my iPhone or iPad it freezes and has to be shut down throughout the control menu.
Everything else starts and play correctly on the laptop

Small update...
WHen Itunes did eventually load... a few odd things happened.
1. The icons on my toolbar flicked to white / blank and then came back
2. Windows Update sprang into life and asked me to install 1 important update
3. I got an error message
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
5. I clicked Yes...
6. It said it was checking my itunes library
7. I got a message The Bonjour service has been disabled. Bonjour is required to share music with others. Please re-enable the service to use this feature
8. This didn't seem to bad so clicked OK
9. BUt then Itunes disappeared again. It is still running in processes but isn't open.
Gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO one answered me! Need help: Iphone 5 doesn't search for a signal!

Everytime I am in library, my cellphone doesn't have a signal. So my phone only gets wifi.
When I leave the library, my iPhone 5 doesn't search for a signal. It shows me "no service" until I turn on/off the airplane mode.
Then the phone starts to search for signal.
Is this my phone problem or the carrier?
Should I get a replacement?
Thank you

IPhone 5 from Verizon to T-mobile?

Now that the iPhone has been annouced on T-Mobile, I was thinking about switching but I still have a few questions.
I've read somewhere that people with iPhones from AT&T don't really have LTE, that they use a really "fast" 3G HSPA+.
If this is the case then I can take my VZ bought phone to T-Mobile and it will basically use their so called LTE that's basically fast 3G HSPA+ like that of AT&T. From what I undestastand T-Mobile has "4G LTE" coverage in my area, what do you guys think?

Here is what's atractive to me about TMobile's prices. I'm paying about $150 for 2 lines unlimited talk and text and 1GB of data from VZ.
Accoring to the new prices just posted on TMobile's website I could be paying about $120 for for the exact same thing and get unlimited 4G LTE. That's not to mention they do cover my area, whereas VZ just gives me 2 signal bars at the most. And not only on my iPhone but on the wife's Samsung G 3S.

Ipad3 takes ages to load new emails

Hi, I have an iPad 3 and an IPhone 4, and since last week they both take ages to download any new emails, 5 to 7 minutes to open an email.
I went on my PC and it works fine, it's only on my apple products, tried warm reboot, connecting to iTunes etc, but still really slow.
Looked all ver the net but can't find anything about it.
cheers steve:-)

I have no idea what a warm reboot is but have you tried a reset?
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Another thing that you could try is to quit the mail app completely (double tap the home button to get to the task bar and tap and hold down on the Mail icon until it wiggles, then tap the minus sign to close the app) and then restart the iPad and see if that helps.
One other thing - turn the mail account off, restart the iPad, then turn the account on again and see if that helps. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Mail>Off.
