Iphone 5 loses signal when plugged in.

Also, if I'm in the middle of a call as soon as it is plugged in to the charger, the microphone and speaker stops working but when it's unplugged the call can continue as normal. Any ideas why?

The signal is really weak too. I have switched on field test mode and at home I get between -100 and -130 but even sat next to the mast I only get -91. I have checked the phone and everything is intact. It's very frustrating.

Why My iPhone loses signal when I had signal in the same place?

My iPhone 4S is locked with a Mexican company named "Telcel" and sometimes when I don't use the carrier network, it lose the signal for two minutes (but twice I had an emergency and I don't had signal). I tried to switch between 2G to 3G and the problem is solved… for a few hours. What's happening?

Hey thersjoel,
The passkey should be in the documentation for the devices:
Bluetooth headset: Refer to the documentation for the headset to determine the passkey.

I lose signal when I turn 3G on

I lose signal when I turn 3G on

the problem is and why you havent had any responses this could be either the service provider or the phone it could be either one! However the service provider is just going to deny it and you have a better chance just exchanging your phone to see if you can get one that works....

Good day Friends. My phone loses signal when I receive calls and people do not listen to me at times. I bought my phone used by Amazon and I think it was open, because I see that this manipulated by one hand. Someone I can help.?

That's not a phone issue, but rather that they simply find you uninteresting.

Amazon is not an official reseller.
If the device has been opened by anyone other than Apple the warranty is voided.

Why does my iPhone 4 lose 3G signal when plugged into the TV with the AV Adapter?

When I plug in my iPhone 4 (Verizon) or my husband's iPhone 4 (AT&T) to watch Netflix, Netflix stalls and the 3G signal disappears. I have tried connecting the adapter both before and after entering the application. I believe the digital AV adapter and HDMI cable are fine, because I have no problem seeing output from my iPad 2.
When I plug in the adapter, the 3G signal will disappear shortly thereafter. The red Netflix screen will appear on the TV, but 9 times out of 10 it will go no further. One time it stayed on the red screen, but I heard the audio from the movie. Another time it showed the movie for 10 seconds, then stopped. When I unplug my iPhone, it will take a while to regain the 3G signal.

I had the same issue in my 2012 Nissan Altima. It was a function in my car's stero settings. I had to go to the car's iPhone/iPod settings when the iPhone was plugged into the USB. My settings come up automatically when I plug in and I can scroll through the commands to "Shuffle" songs. Hope this helps.

Why does my iphone lose signal since upgrading to ios7

Since I upgraded to ios7, my iphone 5 constantly loses signal. It does so just about every 10-15 minutes. I have tried reseting my network settings, I switch to airplane mode, I do a hard reset. And nothing works. Prior to upgrading I never had this problem, now its constant. I am going to try to get a new sim card, but since this only started when I upgraded (almost the exact moment), I dont see that fixing it. I have to try to resend almost every text message, and safari pages never load. I have even been trying for days to post this question, but finally gave up and used my computer. I would really appreciate any help

Perfect.
With a iPhone keyboard lag since installed iOS7,
thanks to pvonk who said :
"Settings>General>Reset>all settings"
and it's go on very well....

Iphone loses signal then cannot refind it.

Hello,
If my iphone loses its signal for any reason it cannot then refind it, unless I turn it off and then on again. This happens if I use airplane mode, or if I pass through a no-signal area (this happens frequently, unfortunately, I live in a remote place), or sometimes even if there is a brief signal interruption.
Obviously turning off and on is no great hardship, but if I don't notice then I miss calls when the signal is absent.
Is this some simple probelm to solve, or is it a tricky one? Anyone else had anything similar?

Hooray! Seems to be sorted by 5.1

How to stop iphone from autoplay when plug into car audio system usb?

how to stop iphone from autoplaying when connected to your car audio USB ?

You need to remove the association that Windows has with that particular file type. To do that, you need to open Windows Explorer. From there, click on Tools, then Folder options. Click on the tab that is named file types. You then need to find the extension for the photos that appear in the iPhone, then click that registered file type. Once you do that, there is a section to select the program to open that file type with. You can click on the change button, and that will allow you to change the program that it opens with, or restore the default. There is also a box that can be checked to always use the selected program. If you unselect it, it will prompt you next time on what program to use.
Hope this helps.

Iphone lose signal and can't take it back

Hi all I've upgraded to IOS5.01 my iphone4 and if the iPhone loses the network it does not reach it anymore giving no service, if I put it in offline mode and then take off, the notches appear at most of the network without next to the word "VodaIT ".... the only way is to switch off and on again
Someone has heard anything about this bug?
Thanks!!

Hopefully the above link will help you to understand the regional models and allow you to decide whether your model is appropriate for your area.
I believe that a software upgrade (if you search these forums) should help you in any case.
Edit: I'm not familiar with your Carrier but I know they all handle BlackBerry in their own way.

Iphone 4s Loses Signal when Connected to HDMI

Hello,
I have an Iphone 4s with the most current software as of today. When I plug the phone into the AV adapter and then to the HDMI to the TV, I lose cell service, it literally says NO SERVICE in the corner.
If I unplug the HDMI, it comes back almost instantly. It is a genuine AV adapter from Apple, I have replaced it as deffective once, and tried it with two different phones. I have tried the AV cable with and without the power adapter. If I leave everything plugged in and only unplug the HDMI cord, the service comes back perfectly.
I have a Samsung HD Plasma TV, it has Anynet, but not sure if that matters at all? Does anyone else have these problems or thoughts?
Thank you for your help!
Robert

Some more information. Tried two phones, two AV cords, and two HDMI cables. I called apple care and they can't figure out what the problem is either... Not sure what to do. I think my Samsung plasma is sending some sort of signal to the phone which is causing problems. When I switch to a different source (the blu ray player instaed of the Iphone with AV cord) the signal comes back instantly. Think maybe I should try the component cable kit instead of the HDMI???
Any thoughts?

HT201263 my iphone 4 wont come on although it does show the apple signal when plugged in. i need to restore it but dont know how

recently my iphone 4 shut down and wont come back on. when i plug it in to outlet or computer it shows the apple signal but still wont turn on. i need to restore to factory settings

Hello, Taylorlocke.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple helpful troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through. They will walk you through troubleshooting this issue.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

Why does my iPhone 5 lose signal when trying to make a call or use cellular data?

Hello,
I've had this problem for a few weeks now and it's becoming really annoying. Every time I try to make a call, or call voicemail, it takes me 10 or so attempts to connect. When it doesn't connect I get 'searching' in the top left hand corner whilst my phone try's to find signal again. I have the same problem when using 3G - it'll be fine for a while and then I lose my signal all together. This happens in places where I have enjoyed full signal strength in the past. I have dropped my phone or done anything to it to cause this. I've checked with my network provider, Giffgaff but it seems to be more of a phone problem rather than network.
Has anyone had anything similar? If so how did you fix it? I'm thinking I need to take it into my local store to get it looked it.

Locked iPhone loses signal?

I have a password protected iphone, and everytime I'm at my house and it goes idle and locks I lose service. This causes me to miss calls, get text messages hours after they were sent, etc.
However, if I'm sitting down with it unlocked doing something on it, service is restored.
Anyone know why this would happen?
This is for an iPhone 3G that's about 5 months old.

That's interesting, it seems like the when it is plugged in it is helping the signal level just enough to stay connected.
All Smartphone, Ipad and tablets in general have to make the antenna's fit into a compromised environment to start with.
When we set up long range WiFi systems we have to use specialized high gain dedicated antenna's to get outside of the devices.
If your interested have a read up on how S/N (Signal to Noise) ratio's work on RF systems and you quickly find out how compromised our devices are right out of the box. It's the price we pay to have it all hidden in a pretty case
Cheers!

Does iphone lose battery when powered/turned off??

So my lock button at the top of the iphone 4 doesn't work and i used the assistive touch button to lock screen when needed. The reason i didn't go to apple store is that i have past my warranty and didn't buy apple care.
Anyway, the other day, the iphone shut down unexpectedly at around 40%.
Now, normally, if it shuts down, it'll only be because of the battery being lower than 4%, and so all i had to do was to it in to power adaptor.
BUT, because i know that the percentage left is closer to 40%, then i was wondering whether the iphone would lose battery. Because if that happens, i can just wait for a couple of hours before plugging it in....

All devices use power when in sleep mode.
Locking the screen does not turn the device off, never has.

IPhone loses signal for several minutes?

I had AT&T before I got my iPhone and I know of certain areas around my neighborhood where the signal is weak. My old phone would sometimes drop a call in those areas, but seconds later, the signal meter would start to refill as I drove into a stronger signal area. With my iPhone, it completely loses the signal and displays "No Service" in the upper left of the screen. However, even as I pass into an area that I know has a better signal, it will stay on "No Service" for about 2-4 minutes before it finally finds the signal again! Anyone else notice this?

More information on my reception problems. I am now absolutely convinced that it is a either a tower problem or a SIM problem - AT&T problem not strictly iPhone. I spent several hours today swapping SIM cards around between the iPhone, Nokia N95 and Nokia E61. In all cases I did the testing in exactly the same location within our house. Here are the results:
iPhone: Signal strength varies from No Service to full bars at this single location in a random, completely unpredictable way. While on a call signal strength was 4 bars and during the conversation dropped to No Service and call dropped. Later my wife called and was sent immediately to voice mail. She then called me on the landline and I checked the signal and it showed No Service. When it goes to No Service it sometimes takes a few minutes to re-acquire just like others have reported here.
N95 with iPhone SIM card: Signal strength varies from one bar to full bars in a random, completely unpredictable way. But never actually lost service. I tried several Edge data connections and while slow when signal was low none failed. I do not remember seeing this random fluctuation in signal on the N95 before with my old (pre iPhone) Cingular SIM card but perhaps it was there and since it was still usable I just didn't notice.
E61 with iPhone SIM card: Pretty much the same behavior as N95 except no full bar signal strength showed. Completely usable.
I realize that the iPhone will probably never get as good reception as the Nokias but I think if it would quit the signal strength variation or tower hopping or what ever it is doing it would be usable at even 1-3 bars if the signal remained steady.
As another point of information in case Cingular and T-Mobile are sharing towers at my location, I returned my T-Mobile SIM card to my N95 and tested it in the same location as before and it showed a consistent full bars with no variation and perfect operation.
Unless something good happens to solve this problem soon, I think that when I find a reliable method or service that will unlock the iPhone I am going to do it and go with T-Mobile. AT&T is not ready for dependable operation at my location with the iPhone.
Frank
