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.

    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.

        @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.

  • Shows full bars and connectvity in wifi but when  hen saysim not connected

    I turn on my wifi at a hotspot at d mall and it connects to a network and shows full bars and connectivity but whenev I try to open safari or my email it says im not connnected to d internet... ??? ummm no clue! a lil help plis!!

    Some hotspots require additional authentication (you have to open Safari and click an Agree to Terms button, etc.). Others are 'open' networks, but require use proxy server which restricts access. If it works at home but not at the mall, the issue is with that network - you could try asking whoever's network it is.

  • 3G issues (full bars w/ 3G, but apps and safari won't connect)

    I recently got the 3G iphone 16gb and right now it has this problem:
    I would turn on 3G and get full bars and the 3G icon would appear, but when I try to open gmail and update, it would not connect and pop an error message "unable to retreive..." or take a really long time and not do anything at all. Same goes for Facebook app and Safari.
    Upon the failure of the app the bars would drop to zero, the 3G icon would dissappear. I would press the home screen and exit, and while it idles in the main screen, bars would go back to full and 3G would appear again.
    I would try to open Safari or apps again, and the process is repeated.
    I called FIDO my provider, and they suggested a hard restart. It worked... for 5 minutes.
    2nd time around I called and they suggested that since I was using a SIM card back from 2005, I needed the 3G enable SIM from the iPhone when it was delivered to me. Switched the line to the new SIM that came with it, and still no luck.
    Hard resets, restarts, have no effect in solving the problem. And the funny story is, I was using the 8gb 3G before this 16gb with the old 2005 SIM and it worked perfectly.
    Is it possible that something is wrong with the phone? I've made an appointment in the genius bar, but can anyone shed some light?

    I started having a similar problem 3 days ago. I'm with Rogers and new SIM card (never was on Rogers previously). I usually stay on 3G. I've done a restore (without backup) on iTunes, reset network settings, hard restore....no luck.
    I can make & receive phone calls just fine. Safari is either slow or times out (server stopped responding) and same with e-mail.
    I seem to do better with 3G disabled.
    I have had my phone for more than 4 months without a problem...until Dec 2.
    Personally, I'm beginning to think it's something with the Rogers/Fido network in certain cities, but no one at Rogers/Fido will admit to it.

    What could be done to solve the problem?

    Try settings/general/reset/reset network settings.  If that does not do it then contact your carrier

  • My iphone 4 will not send pictures even though I have full bars and wifi

  • Full bars, 3g connected, but cant access internet

    please help me, i'm using TELKOMSEL (indonesian) i have data plans, and it's 4gb, the thing is, as i said Full bars, 3g connected, but cant access internet, i tried to access google using safari, chrome, but still the same message, network not available, those things.... PLEASE HELP ME..

    It sounds like a poor data connection. I get the same thing when I try to use AT&T here in my house. It shows 4G and 3 bars but I get little to no data at all. If that is what is happening to you, you can try another carrier if there is one.
    Here, I can get LTE at my house and about 10-15Mbps on T-Mobile. Switching carriers can make the difference.

  • HT4967 I can sync data from my Mac to my iPhone and iPad and from my iPhone to the Mac and iPad, but cannot sync data from the iPad to either device. My iPad is configured to Push. Is there another setting than I'm forgetting?

    If new calendar events entered on your iPad do not appear on icloud.com, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your iPad and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Gmail or Yahoo calendar, etc.  If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
    If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your iPad to your calendar on icloud.com.  Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date with your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a 15 seconds or so, turn Calendars back to On.  Then add a new event on your iPad and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now, and on your other devices.

  • Spry menu works in Firefox and Safari, but not Internet Explorer

    I designed my school website in CS4 and  CS5.  The left spry menu bar appears correctly in Firefox and Safari, but in Internet Explorer the gray background and buttons do not appear.  You can only see the text and when you scroll over the text, it disappears even though when you click on it, the link does appear.  The website is http://ml.chinookschools.org.  I created the site on a mac and I am hosting it on a mac mini server on my network at school.  I am a beginner with Dreamweaver and I'm not sure if someone can help me with this, but I would sure be appreciative for any help offered.

    You are not using the latest Spry files
    The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
    Then, if you have a look near the bottom of SpryMenuBarVertical.css you will see that the white background colour has been specified for IE as in
    @media screen, projection
        ul.MenuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
        display: inline;
        f\loat: left;
        background: #FFF;
    Change the value to #CCC and it will have fixed that part of the problem.
    When you upgrade to the later version of Spry, make sure to keep a copy of the CSS file as a reference to modifying the new CSS file.

  • So I went to update my ipod on itunes....and a box appeared saying to make sure my network settings are correct and active, but the internet is working fine. Every device in my house has great internet connection. What do I do?

    So I went ot update my ipod on itunes....and a box appeared saying to make sure the internet setting are correct and active, but my internet is working fine. What do I do?

    Sounds like this:
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • I have a verizon iphone5, all of my apps say no internet connection, but the phone is showing4 bars and lte

  • 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!

  • What files do I need to download iPhone photos to a thin client (HP)? Apple Mobile Support gives 4 dll files to enable the iPhone to be detected and charged but the thin client doesn't see the camera or hard drive.

    The iTunes Installation files include 4 driver dlls that I can install on a Windows thin client to enable the iPhone to be charged.
    The iPhone hard drive or photos are not detected.  I guess I need scanner driver support to cope with the camera.
    Can anyone tell me which files from the iTune installation set are needed.
    It is not practical (or even possible?) to install the whole iTunes package.
    I've seen this question asked by a lot of people but never seen an answer. 
    Please, can someone help... 

    Thanks for the reply. 
    A thin client is used to connect to a Terminal Server, or in my customer's case, a Citrix Server.  I need the thin client to see the iPhone as a camera and pass it to the Citrix Client so the photos can THEN be either stored on a network storage device, or e-mailed.
    Because the thin client doesn't even SEE a camera (i.e. the iPhone) it won't be able to connect to iCloud to do anything useful. 
    I think the question I should be asking, is how do I give the thin client Camera Support.
    I've just seen a 2008 forum comment that said the iPhone DOESN'T handle photos through iTunes, but the PC (Scanner support) or MAC (iPhoto) handles them directly.  I should be putting the question to HP.
    This is still a good place for THIS question, because I've seen so many iPhone users asking it...
    If I get a satisfactory answer I'll post it back here.

  • IPhone updated, backed up, and restored but everything is GONE!!!!!  HELP!

    Hi, I recently updated an iphone, I got a little box asking if I wanted to back up and restore (it would restore all media, contants, and everything) but it took forever, and when it was finally done, everything was gone!!! I read some forums on the interenet and they were all saying to right click and press restore from backup but my most recent backup is not listed! I am for sure it backed up because I sat there for hours and stared at it backing up! I need help and greatly appreciate it if someone could please please help. Thank you !
