IPhone 5 loves 3G, hates wifi!

Upgraded my iphone 5 to 6.0.2. Wireless now connects ok(although the range is terrible) and my 3G reception is still exceptionally good. The problem remains though that the phone LOVES mobile data. Sometimes it will just switch to 3G even when still in wifi range. At first I though that wifi was cutting out but disabling mobile data proves it CAN hold a wifi connection (no where near as far as my iphone 4 but it works). As soon as I re-enable mobile data it keeps jumping bewteen the 2. I believe that Apple sees this as a feature to get what the phone sees as the best connection at all times but this is going to end up costing a fortune!! At least give the option to prefer wifi. I am sick of turning off mobile data and I do not received MMS when I do.

  • How do I share the music from my iPhone 6 with my wife's I phone 6

    HHow do I share music between my iPhone 6 and my wife's I phone 6

    If you were using a Mac you could use a program but AFAIK there is nothing similar yet for the PC.
    However, you should have a backup of your music, correct? Just restore from that backup to your computer (and, if not, at least this will teach you the importance of always backing up your music purchases onto writable media like DVD).

    What a horrible way to treat customers. I was due for updates on my phones and thought I should maybe check some other prices but have been with Verizon for 20 yrs so ended up there. I got 2 new IPhones 5s and the wife couldn’t decide what she wanted so she stayed with old phone but this locked me into a new 2 yr contract . Within a wk one of the new iPhones started turning on and of like 10 –15 times a day. Wk 2 it turned off and would not turn on again . It was my sons who was in college at the time so we talked and he took it in to a Verizon store where he was told I need to come in since the account was in my name. He was away from home , Verizon could see on account it was his phone they said it was not abused, they could not even turn it on , they sold me the phone give him another phone maybe even a loaner till he gets another. So now I need to go to store and explain to 3 different people this is my phone and my son has it and I need a new one. what a waste of time after about 2 hrs and talking to different people and yes they said there were notes on his account from other person he had talked to from different store. So I finally walk out with a receipt in hand and being told I would have a new phone in a couple days. As I sat in my vehicle thinking this is stupid I looked at my receipt and noticed it said droid on it so back into Verizon I went. The salesman said that’s what your son has on his account. My son had activated a friends old phone so he has one since VERIZON REFUSED to give him one. Another hr 3 people and yes they can see he had a new iPhone and notes on it from other store. Sometimes sorry just doesn't do it. I was now late for a appointment . Now I walk out and have been told I will get a new iPhone in the mail in about 2 wk Yes 2 wks   again I bought it there just give me a new one and you send old one back. I will also get a new droid that I have to send back because they said they cant cancel it  . In about 3 days I get the Droid and sent it back Verizon mistake and a waste of my time . After waiting over 2 wks and not receiving a new iPhone back to Verizon I went . I am now bitter at Verizon after doing 20 yrs of business with them. 3 people 1 hr later I was told it got delivered to my post office . I got the tracking num called the post office and they say o yes that was the droid. Go back in to Verizon another hr of explaining I walk out being told I will get a new iPhone in a couple of days, We’ll see . Once again I got the phone in your store just give me a new one . Do you realize how much of my time you have wasted ? do you care? O what is Your Policy ? How many Billion did you make last year ? I am Locked into a new 2 yr contract . Why don’t you just release me ? After 20 yrs do you think I will ever renew my contract ?

    Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
    the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
    good luck

  • How to connect my iphone to imac on wifi

    Hi
    I want to connect my iphone to imac on wifi. Actually i want to use internet on my iphone. So how can i do this ?

    If you have a wifi router you can set up/turn on the wifi... set the user name and password wifi in your router... open wifi in general settings on the iPhone... log into your router, user name and password. (If your don't know how to turn on the router wifi. Google the router make and model and you will find instructions on how to do this.)
    If you don't have a wifi router and your Mac has wifi capabilities you can hookup to the internet over wifi from your Mac to your iPhone.
    System Preferences on the Mac... Network... Wifi... Advanced tab... Hit the '+' to add a user name and password...
    Make sure you use WPA2 Personal for Security... Hit ok... Turn on the wifi... Same as above with the iPhone, log into your wifi settings on the iPhone.
    *Important point... Use WPA2 for the encryption/Security setting. If you use anything else for this setting, your wifi can be hacked.

  • HT2589 I just bought an Imac. I have an ipad2 and an iphone 4s. My wife has an iphone 4s. Both of us have different apple ids. Would you recommend a new one or use an existing id?  Why?

    It is best to stop making all new apple IDs, as software is permanently tied to them, and you can't converge them. Make differnt ones if you plan to get divorced though....

  • Same question for the "2 iPhones in one account".....How do I change the name.  My iPhone is showing my wife's iPhone name when I am syncing it.  Why is that?  I know about using one iTunes account....But how do you change the name w/o erasing your data?

    Hi....How do you change the name?  When I sync my iPhone, it shows my wife's name on it?

    Unfortunately it is not doing it....
    Let me give more details..We have 3 iPods and 2 iPhone4....I recently purchased the iPhone4 and when we connected it..It was already reading my wife's iPhone4..We went to the Apple Store at the Grove today and was told to de-authorize the system and connect my iPhone4 back and I should be able to change the name.
    Nothing happened..Right now, I clicked on RESTORE settings...and it is uploading a new iPhone update.

  • How do I sync photos FROM iphone TO pc using wifi?

    I have a 4S I bought in Mar 2012 - just updated to IOS6
    PC is a 2011 Dell Inspirion 620 running Windows 7
    Browsers are IE & Chrome
    I am a computer person so I'm not new to the techno world but this is my first iphone so I'm new to Apple    There are plenty of places to get info about syncing photos using icloud or syncing from PC to iPhone but I'm getting conflicting  info on syincing FROM iphone TO pc using WIFI. One video I watched told me I needed to download PhotoSync so I did.   Then I read that I needed the companion app for Photosync -- Apple.com talks about something called iphoto 
    I am totally confused can someone please explain to me how to transfer photos FROM my iphone TO my pc using  WiFi? 
    Do I need to download something like photosync? or another type of app.?
    Thank you
    Christine

    So, just to clarify, you're a "computer person" and cannot follow links?  Well ok, here goes
    Download theiCloud Control Panel.
    To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).Download now (you have to follow that link I cannot post the file here).
    Turn on iCloud.
    From the Windows Start menu, choose iCloud Control Panel.
    Enter the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account and select the iCloud services you’d like to enable.
    For mail, contacts, and calendars, you can use iCloud.com or Outlook 2007 or later.
    On your iPhone go to settings-iCloud and ensure you're signed in and that "photo stream" is enabled.
    Any more questions?

    my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?

    No.

  • Hi i cant access to my house wifi but to all the others wifiS I can connect. I have restarted my iPhone and my home wifi. What should I do?

    Hi i cant access to my house wifi but to all the others wifiS I can connect. I have restarted my iPhone and my home wifi. What should I do?

    What make, model, and version WiFi router do you have?
    Is the router firmware up to date?
    What type of security is it running? WEP, WPA, WPA2 (WPA2 is recommended, WEP is completely insecure)
    Do you have MAC address filtering turned ON? If so, have you added your iPhone MAC address to the permitted list in your router?

  • I'm having trouble with "maps" on Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone.  It shows my current location and hour away from where I am.  As soon as a move iPhone away from my wifi at home to cellular it shows my correct location.  No help from Time Warner.

    What can I do to get "maps" to work on my Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone when connected to wifi at home.  iPhone "maps" work fine when connected to cellular service. Maps on wifi shows me about 55 minutes away from my current location.  Very frustrating.  I called Time Warne,r my service provider, but they had no answers since they were not knowledgeable of this situation.  Anyone else having problem?  I just updated all devices to newest update.  Is that the problem.

    Did you bring your wireless router with you? If so, it's possible the iPad is getting its location through the router and the router still "thinks" it's where you used to live.
    Try taking your iPad to another location where there is wifi (such as a coffee shop). Then, try an app that uses location services. If it's accurate at another location, then the source of your problem is your router.

  • My iPhone 5 connects to wifi but shows one bar on the wifi signal meter but my iPad2 and Macbook Air both show full wifi bars when all three are side by side next to my apple router. Do I have an antenna problem with my iPhone 5?

    It appears that my iPhone 5 has a wifi signal reception issue. I only show one bar on the wifi signal meter even when I an next to the router.  Both my Macbook Air and my iPad2 show full wifi signals at the same time.  Rebooting the Apple router and each device results in the same meter readings. 

    Does this occur with any Wi-Fi connection? Or only a specific one?
    If it occurs with any Wi-Fi connection, take it to Apple.
    If it is only occurring with a specific Wi-Fi connection, it is an issue with that Wi-Fi connection.
    Try the following, it may help:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Forget the Wi-Fi connection on the iPhone then reconnect.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).
