IPhone 5 dropping wifi and cell signal when asleep

IiPhone 5 in last couple weeks has been randomly dropping wifi and cell signal when asleep. Requires restart to reset it. Turning off wifi or going into airplane mode for 15 seconds does not fix it. Also I note that when I restart after a dropped signal, the phone searches a few seconds longer than at other times.

    My iPHONE 5 wifi is NOT working when am 3 feet away from router while my iPhone 4s has full signal all the time.Please help.

    The problem would seem to be in the firewall in your router.  Have you tried disabling it? I assume you've updated the router firmware, right?  Consider bypassing the ISP provided router (using it as a modem only) and unsing another device such as an Aiport Express.

  • Iphone drops gsm and wifi with certain apps s.a. maps

    Some apps where the iPhone drops gsm and wifi signal:
    e.g. In google Maps, I want to download a map of my region by typing th command “ok maps” into the map's app search bar and tap search. Dowloading starts, but then the iPhone drops gsm and wifi signal before the download is complete, then the signals come on again after a couple of seconds.
    e.g. in google+ idem drops gsm and wifi signal, which come on again after a couple of seconds.
    How come and is there a solution?

  • TS1398 iPhones drop wifi even with full strength signal.

    I am running ios 6.0.1 I have a  Duel band wifi 2.4 and 5. Iphones drop wifi regularly. I can get back on wifi by going to settings, shut off wifi then turn it back on.  But that is not the point.  Why does it drop?  iPads connected  on the 5 band work fine.  . All was fine with iOS 5. Does any one know why?    The fix??

    I can relate to this problem but with a twist. I bought 2 (32gig) ipod touches last week and have a strange problem with the wif fi dropping out. One of the ipod's works perfectly with great range and little drop out, the other identical ipod touch continuously drops the wireless signal and I keep having to log on constantly, which is a real pain as I am using the ipod for home automation and media control. Wondering whether to take it back for replacement. Has anyone any ideas here please ?

  • HT1386 WiFi and Bluetooth signals have weakened since last upgrade

    WiFi and Bluetooth signals have weakened since last upgrade. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    WiFi and Bluetooth signals have weakened since last upgrade. This is no fault of my router and or head set. I have 3 Bluetooth head sets, all disconnect when I put my phone in my pocket. I'm sitting at my desk and there is static from my Bluetooth connection... 12" away. It works fine when I hold my phone up to me ear next to my Bluetooth receiver... That's crazy!!! All WiFi connections have the same affect... Low signal... I'm sitting at my desk right next to my router 24" away and have a low signal. Normally I can sit in my backyard 40' away and still get online. My laptop, no problem... My wife's phone, No problem... My recently upgraded iPhone, BIG PROBLEM!!! Apple is blowing smoke if they think they haven't screwed up.....

    I plan on buying a new  I Pad wit wifi and cell from Apple. But  I don't want to select a cell carrier right now. Q 1: Do I have to select a carrier at purchase? and Q 2, In the meantime will I be able to get on line at home using my Cox Internet wi fi? Thanks. 

    Thanks for the help. Now I can feel comfortable in not having to sign up for cellular when I buy, esp. Since I'll be using my new IPad mostly at home on my Cox wi fi. Then I can see, in using the i pad, how often I'd actually use the cellular, and where. This can help decide which type of cell plan I get. Small problem it may seem, but a very helpful answer. Thanks.

  • Why can't I play downloaded podcasts with WiFi and Cell Data turned off?

    I'm on a limited data plan and want to ensure I'm not downloading or streaming podcasts when I'm not on WiFi.  It appears I have several podcasts downloaded (Blue Dot next to the title) but I'm not sure.... When I turn off WiFi and Cell Data, the podcasts grey out and are unable to play.  Why would I not be able to play a downloaded podcast while I'm off the network (both WiFi and Cell data)?

    Update....  Apparently the blue dot just indicates whether or not you've listened to the particular podcast or not, regardless of it's download status.  After playing with the app more, it also appears that many podcasts are not downloading to the device as I thought.  When I turn on Airplane mode, many podcasts are not playable (greyed out) but some that I have already listened to are playable.  I'm assuming the podcasts that are playable when on airplane mode are the only ones that are actually downloaded to the device (this makes sense doesn't it?).  So now my question is, "why aren't these podcasts being downloaded after I press the download button?".   They seem to play OK in streaming mode, either from WiFi or Cell Network.  Any insights?
    Thanks.

  • How to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID.  Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.

    How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them.  We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.

    Have her create a new ID.   Here:  https://appleid.apple.com/
    Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device.   Now have her use the new ID she has created.
    That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases.   You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

  • My iphone 4s connects and disconnects (repeatedly) when connected to my computer

    my iphone 4s connects and disconnects (repeatedly) when connected to my computer, it works perfectly fine when connected to regular chargers, everytime i connect it to my computer it shows the charging symbol and then disconnects and reconnects in less then a second, it will repeat this process forever unless disconnected, sometimes it works perfectly fine and most of the times it does the same thing, I know for a fact its not the wire because i recently bought an ipad mini with retina and its usb is new, it worked with the retina for a day or two and then it kept connecting and disconecting repeatedly, my computer is two months old and i have new hardware in that machine, is it a problem in the usb power fluctuation? i am currently using windows 8.1 and i need solutions, this is super annoying, all my other devices work perfectly fine with the usb ports, all my usbs (2.0 and 3.0) do the connecting and disconnecting sometimes it even works ,what is the problem?

  • My newer IPhone gets a weaker cell signal at the same time and place as my wife's older one. Help

    My newer IPhone gets a weaker cell phone signal at the same time and place as my wife's older IPhone. Help!

    What is the signal the difference?
    Follow this guide and record the numbers you see...
    http://lifehacker.com/5929546/see-the-actual-signal-strength-on-your-iphone-with -this-quick-tweak
    If the difference is within ~10db there's not much to worry about.
    Now if you see -130 and -80 that is an issue. (talk to your carrier)
    But if you see -60 and -75, both phones are operating normally.
    What are the iPhones in question?
    Are you both on the same network? (what network(s) are you on?)
    What data connection is available on each phone? (3G/4G/LTE)
    Are the iOS and Carrier settings up-to-date?

  • IPhone Wifi and Bluetooth interference when used simultaneously

    I am presently using AirFoiI to stream audio from my PC to my iPhone. AirFoil uses the same protocols as AirPlay. AirFoil/AirPlay streams an Alac audio codec using a bandwith of 1,50 Mbs on average irrespective of the audio codec and bit rate of the source file.
    The audio stream received on my iPhone through WiFi is send over simultaneously to my Bluetooth speaker.
    When using AirFoil/AirPlay, I regularly hear distortions at the beginning of a track and also randomly when a track is playing. The distortions are a lot more when I move the iPhone around.  I am almost 100% sure that these sound distortions are because of Bluetooth interference on the iPhone itself when simultaneously receiving an audio stream from AirFoil/AirPlay and sending an audio stream over bluetooth to my speaker.
    I also have done some tests using "Net Meter" and "TCP-view" from Sysinternals on my Windows 7 PC.  On "Net Meter" I have never seen any WiFi drop outs or distortions regarding my home network.
    My bluetooth speaker supports the A2DP AAC audio codec. This was an important feature for me before I bought the device because the AAC audio codec provides normally a relatively good audio quality over Bluetooth. At the time it did not occur to me that there might be a possible Bluetooth interference coming from my iPhone itself. I presumed that the Bluetooth on the iPhone would use a 2,4 Ghz RF channel not in use by WiFi so that WiFi and Bluetooth used on the same device simultaneously could never distort each other. I was clearly wrong.  Put shortly, the problems I encounter are presumably solely caused by the firmware/software on my iPhone. I hope this will eventually be resolved with some future iOs 8 updates. There were indeed many people having Bluetooth issues since iOs 8.
    I know the best solution would be to wire my speaker optically with an AirPort Express or an Apple TV.  I have not yet decided between the two.
    Even when there exists a "wired" solution, I think an expensive device such as an iPhone should be able to make sure that there is never interference between WiFi and Bluetooth when used simultaneously on the SAME device/iPhone.  
    I hope that some specialists will give their views on my "nonprofessional" analysis and some more in-depth information.

    Now will this work:
    Airport extreme set to BOTH frequencies and my older wifi stuff like Iphone and printer will automatically connect via 2.4GHz and Macbook will connect to 5GHz so that it will not longe be disruppted by bluetooth?
    Unfortunately, no one can predict exactly what will happen in advance with wireless and interference issues. Your chances will improve, though. It might be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy.
    What if the Macbook will not connect automatically to the 5Ghz network because the 2.4 stream may be slightly stronger. Is there a way to force macbook to connect to 5Ghz?
    Yes, use the option to assign a separate wireless network name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" your MacBook to that network.  The other 2.4 GHz devices will connect to the 2.4 GHz band.

  • Iphone dropping wifi then reconnects while on skype or viber but not netflix

    while on call in skype or viber at home, my iphone 4 would drop the VOIP call, wifi icon immediately switches back to 3G then after 2 seconds switches back to wifi again(I never have to go connect again manually, it always comes back by itself).  All happens without any intervention, and once the wifi icon comes back i can dial skype call again.  This could happen 3 or 4 times on a 30 mins skype/viber call. 
    I have a 1st gen 3G iPad as well and I use it to watch movies on netflix, it has never dropped the wifi like that even after watching movies for more than an hour.  Its just very strange. I've search around the internet and people who have iphone wifi drop problems always have to go reconnect to wifi manually or restart the phone to connect, which is not my case.  I've also tried resetting the network settings on the iphone, didn't help.
    I have 2 PCs, a Macbook pro, and a PS3, all using the same wifi connection, and like the ipad none of them have any problems with the wifi at all (not all connected a the same time, i usually have the MBP and the 2 iOS devices connected at all times). And for the iPhone, the wifi drop seems to isolate to Skype and Viber calls only.  Anyone have any idea how to fix this? by the way, i have never tried VOIP call on other wifi networks other than my house, so I don't know if this is because something is wrong with my equipment at home.  VOIP call on 3G network when wifi is not available doesn't have any problem.
    I have a AT&T iphone4 on 4.3.2, wifi is through a Linksys router (g i think), I'm also using an AT&T microcell that 70% of the time doesn't even show up on my iphone.  Thanks!

    I have the same issue with my Iphone4, never had this with my Iphone 3gs.  I have tried a different router (I have a d-link and a netgear) and no difference.  I read on another forum that bluetooth might interfere.  Yesterday I ran a test and after I turn bluetooth off I did not have any dropped Skype calls.  before this my Skype call would drop or I would have a really bad connection about 8min or so into the call.  I think this is because the iphone will start up bluetooth and it interferes with wifi.  I am not 100% sure this cures the problem but it might.

  • IOS 8.1. Does it solve wifi/ Bluetooth/ cell signal?

    I Thought I'd start a new thread specifically for this...couldn't see one, other than comments updating on 8.0.2, which is useful but not specific for those just searching for the first time. I'm too nervous to update as I'm still on 8.0 with a few wifi issues but they aren't as bad as for some. I do have cell signal issues but my Bluetooth in my Volvo is fine so I don't want to mess that up. What's the verdict please guys?

    iOS 8.1 fixed my Bluetooth problems (car, headphones and BT speakers, neither of which worked after upgrading to iOS8). My wifi is fine (was fine with iOS 8 as well though). I see no problems whatsoever at this moment (iPhone 5).
