IPhone 5 Wi-Fi signal issues

Upgraded from iPhone 4 to 5 this week.
New iPhone 5 constantly loses wi-fi signal in any other room in my house except the room where the actual router is based. Router is 2 months old N series, works perfectly. Interestingly I upgraded this router so my iPhone 4 could reach it in every room = worked 100%.
This problem does not exist on my other iPhone 4, 4S, iPad, Mac Book, PS3, televisions! and 2 laptops. Just the iPhone 5. I have control tested this to make sure my statement is 100% factual.
This is not limited to just my house. EXACT same issue exists at my place of work and several hotels I have visited in the last few days.
The wifi signal received by the iPhone 5 is constantly intermittant. Sometimes it works for a few moments then drops out, all without even moving it.
I have performed a full factory reset. No improvement. I have performed a network setting reset. No improvement.
ALSO... My company ordered 10 of these that were received on early this week and the majority of people with these new iPhone 5's are all reporting the EXACT same issues. Therefore... I suspect this is an iPhone 5 related issue, not individual specific handsets. e.g. a replacement handset will have the same issue.
Ultimately I am after some form of acknowledgement that Apple are aware of this and working on a 'patch' to fix it.
If anyone has any  suggestions to resolve this wi-fi issue please let me know.

In the kitchen. White iPhone 4 = full signal. iPad 1 = full signal = iPhone 5 = NO SIGNAL.
In the dining room. Same as above.
In the master bedroom. White iPhone 4 = Full signal. iPad 1 = No Signal. iPhone 5 = sinal BUT will not connect.
Issue is... The iPhone 5 has worked in all of these rooms at some points. It just drops out ALL of the time. All other devices are connected 100% of the time with ZERO issues.
I have followed the instructions in the link above and made 1 amendment to my router to only use AES security. Zero improvement.
I have also conducted this same test on another iPhone 5 with the exact same results meaning this is not specifically limited to just my new iPhone 5...
Anyone have any suggestions? Apple????

  • Another unhappy iPhone 3GS user - SIGNAL issues

    I have recently (2wks ago) received an iPhone 3GS from Vodafone UK.
    Which like many other users has a problem holding a signal.
    In the house I can't even hold a 2G signal and that is in a "good to excellent 3G area".
    And 3G is hardly ever possible in the house.
    Now this continues to be a BIG issue outside the house which is apparently an "Excellent 3G area".
    It drops signal at the drop of a hat.
    Many people are reporting the same issues on the Vodafone forums but we keep getting fobbed off.
    And I notice other people here too mentioning signal issues.
    Am well fed-up of this and feel well ripped off - the phone barely functions for the purpose it was meant for "PHONE".
    I have tried all the scripted useless help Vodafone give out - does anyone have any suggestions ???

    FWIW, I think it's down to a poor receiver, not an 'inherent fault' as you suggest.
    If you want to take it further, then I suggest a legal route if Vodafone aren't sympathetic.
    You won't get any more useful advice here, because there is no more to give!
    Actually, there is some more advice. Recently, Vodafone have started to push their 'Sure Signal' box. Guaranteed signal in your home via wi-fi for £50. It's a no-brainer for you I would suggest.

    Remove and reinstall the SIM card.
    Try a different SIM card.
    Contact the carrier to troubleshoot a network issue.

  • My iPhone 4 signal issues are gone...

    Well, like many of people here I had the obnoxious signal loosing issue that is affecting a staggering amount of iPhone 4 users. However, I never realized I inadvertedly fixed the issue until just 10 minutes ago. I had signal issues since Day 1.
    Bear with me thru this small story. I saw here a thread on MacRumors about a user experiencing camera issues on his iPhone 4. Said issue was that the camera showed a green spot in the center. I was sorta curious but never really paid much attention to it. This was 4 days ago. Flash forward to yesterday.
    I was on the Apple Store picking out a new case for my iPhone 4, along with the respective screen protector. While I was doing that I saw an empty iPhone 4 demo unit and I decided to test drive FaceTime. I fired up both my iPhone 4 and the demo unit and connected. Disaster struck, my iPhone suffered from the same green spot effect as the iPhone from the user on MacRumors. Knowing full well, it was a hardware problem I set up an appointment for today at 6:30 PM.
    Flash forward to today 6:30 PM. I got there at 6:15 and the Genius helped me out right away. He saw the problem, diagnosed my phone and concluded as previously stated it was hardware problem. Obviously warranty kicks in. He takes out my Micro SIM card and puts in the new iPhone (this was a brand new, not refurb unit). He activates it and hands it to me for mini inspection. first thing I do is check the camera, and against ALL odds, the same issue plagued this new phone. The Genius and I were, to say the least, shocked. Same issue, different phone. Now, how does this relate to the signal loss? Well, I am getting there so hang on tight.
    The Genius does a comparisson between my iPhone and replacement unit to find the exact spot. He then pulls out his and does the comparisson to find his iPhone 4 too suffers from the dreaded green blob/spot. He then tells me there is no other replacement unit for my iPhone and that I had 2 choices. Take my current iPhone and wait if a software fix comes along, or take the replacement phone with me. I decided to wait and keep my phone (it is a hassle to resotre everything to previous state). So the Genius reswaped the SIM card to my phone back and handed it to me. (My iPhone spent 15 minutes with out SIM card while the Genius did all his tests on my and replacement unit, and while he asked for 2nd opinions on the green blob issue)
    I went on my merry way, but realized something now. No matter what position I held my iPhone 4 in, the signal never decreased. I held it the many ways I know the signal issue pops and nothing. No bar loss, no signal loss, no call drop. NOTHING. So there you have it.
    I am theorizing that moving the SIM card had something to do with the signal issue, because the only thing I have done to my iPhone 4 differently is take out and reinsert the SIM card. Other than that no other changes to it. No setting change, no software change no nothing. Just reinsertion of the SIM card. Now, to prove my theory, I need people who can test this and see if this fixes their iPhone. I know it did on mine, but on yours?
    Check it out.
    PS - No, I did not have the green blob issue fixed.
    My original thread is found here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=955742
    Many users are claiming (me included) the signal issues being fixed.

    I have "death-grip" issue. Just ejected SIM card to test SIM contacting the SIM tray issue. I have a 10x loupe and inspected the area in question (SIM card gold contacts touching tray) and I found that there is a space between contacts and SIM tray. Under 10x magnification you can easily see how precice my SIM card was made and cut. There's also a relief rout around contact area. Also there is a thin film of some non-conducting material between SIM card and SIM tray where the tray supports the card. This SIM tray even has the IMEI and Serial number etched on it and under 10x magnification you can appreciate the fabrication and close tolerances even this SIM tray is made to.
    I followed all instructions on the macrumors forum and this "DID NOT" solve my "death-grip" issue and I can verify with 100% certainty that the SIM contacts are not touching the SIM tray anywhere.
    I do hope this helps others but I am still hoping that this can be rectified with software.

  • I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.

    I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. The mobile carrier signal as well as WIFI suddenly drops zero and are then restored automatically. Sometimes i cannot conenct to WIFI even standing infront of WIFI router. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.

    Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
    1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
    2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
    3. Do a soft and hard reset.
    4. Reset network settings.
    5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
    6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
    I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :)

  • Is there any way to fix my signal issues on iPhone 4S?

    I'm experiencing signal issues...Don't know if it is a hardware problem, but I want to know how to fix it.
    If anyone else have gone thru this too, please let me know the right thing to do. Do I need to send it back to apple and see what's going on, or I need to see if it is a provider problem?
    Thank you.

    Basics from the manual are reset, restart, restore. 
    Another good troubleshooting step is Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Network Settings.
    Also, remove and reseat the SIM card.
    Do others in your area with the same carrier have issues?
    Has the carrier been contacted to rule out network issues?
    Has anything been done to narrow down the problem instead of jumping to the conclusion that it's an iPhone issue?

  • Iphone 5 no signal

    I have iphoone 5 on three network in the UK. Unfortunately if I go to poor signal area and phone looses connection it fails to refresh itself when I come out the blackhole.The phone  stays non functional  until I activate the airplane mode or reboot the phone. It is very dangerous as I rely on the phone in my profession. Looked at the discussions and it seems it is widely known problem with iphone 5. I had replacement phone from apple which did not resolve the issue. It is definitely not a sim problem as I put the sim in iphone 4s and the problem could not be replicated. All the troubleshooting talked about online has been teasted to no avail including the recent ios 6.02 update. Three is aware of issues with iphone 5 and claim the problem is in iphone 5 and they feel a decent update will hopefully resolve the problem.
    I just wondered if apple are aware that professionals rely on iphone for communication in mission critical circumstances were lives might be at risk. Is apple happy to announce that iphone 5 should not be used by people who rely on the phone in critical situations ?. Please help..!.

    same issue as me .............. my partner is on her 3rd iphone 5 and same issue ....
    i hope a fix comes soon ...i also will be speaking to three next time they are open

  • My iPhone 5 loses signal on the Vodacom LTE network. Is it the network or my phone playing up ?

    My iPhone 5 loses signal on the Vodacom LTE network. Is it the network or my phone playing up ?

    When I put in Airplane mode and back it seems to fix the problem. But this is very annoying and not what I would expect from the NEW iphone 5.   I have read a lot about this issue but NO SOLUTION

  • When in sleep mode iPhone 4 loses signal but when it's back on it searches and finds signal only recently doing this and because it's searching for signal battery not lasting very long please help

    When in sleep mode iPhone 4 loses signal but as soon as its on again it searches and finds signal easily but because of this not getting calls or text msges and because it's searching for signal all the time battery not lasting

    Here are some observations and a suggestion.
    1)  I mentioned before, that the number of views of this discussion forum is fast approaching 100,000.  I suppose relative to all iPhones sold that is not a great percentage, but 100,000 still sounds pretty impressive to me.  Consider also that many people probably have this same Sim problem and are not viewing this discussion forum because thay do not know it exists.  How many people are REALLY experiencing this problem?  Who knows.  But I suspect it is more that 100,000.
    2)  To the best of my knowledge, Apple does not consult these forums as a guide to awareness of product performance.  It may be company policy, but most of the time when I speak to an Apple employee they seem remarkably unaware of the "Top Stories" in the Apple Discussion Forum.  This, despite the fact that my personal experience with customer service at Apple is excellent.  So, as much as we of this discussion forum are confident SOMEONE important at Apple is reading all our posts and taking them to heart...I am not so sure.
    3)  I have been told over and over that the best way to gain Apple's attention regarding a problem is to post a comment on their Feedback Site.  One comment about a problem is pretty worthless.  100,000 comments on the same issue, I'm guessing, will really get their attention.
    4)  Some folks have mentioned a recall to address this problem.  Although such a thing is always a possibility, I don't see it happening.  Why?  When the brakes on a Toyota don't work, or that Toyata starts to accelerate without driver intention...well, that involves human life and the stakes are quite high.  For many reasons you would see the automotive industry eventually be forced into a recall program under such a situation.  But, a phone APPEARS to not nearly be such a life and death device.  Or is it?  My daughter's iPhone 4S developed a "SIM FAILURE" on the same day her car broke down in the middle of the very rural area we live at around 10:00 pm.  She is 17 years old and was coming home from high school play practice.  You can imagine the anxiety I and her mother felt when she did not arrive home on time.  She eventually walked about a quarter mile to a house of a stranger and had to ask to use their phone to call us.  Now, I am not saying that strangers where I live are not to be trusted.  But, in addition to being worried out of my mind, I was not happy that an inoperative iPhone 4S caused my daughter to be put in this situation.  My biggest concern now is...when will my daughter's iPhone become inoperative again due to SIM FAILURE?
    5)  The more folks in this discussion forum who post a comment about this issue in Apple's feedback site the more pressing this issue is going to be perceived by Apple.  So, I like others, encourage all of you to do so.  If this seems like a lot of effort, I offer you these few sentences below that you could just copy and paste into the feedback site.
    The link to feedback site is:  http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Feel free to use copy/amend/whatever the following as you wish:
    Dear Apple,
    I wish to register a strong concern about my iPhone's unpredictable inoperability due to failures somehow associated with it's SIM technology.  For me, I do not consider this just a significant lack of convenience, but a significant safety issue.  Should I need my phone in an emergency situation where it is experiencing  a SIM FAILURE, I believe the iPhone will have put me at risk.  I would ask you to please give fixing this problem your greatest priority and effort.
    Sincerely, XXXX

  • IPhone 5 network signal when lock and unlock goes to Searching--- No service--- ATT

    Hi All,
              I am Bharat from Boise, ID. I have bought iPhone 5 few months ago and recently I am facing network signal issue with my iPhone 5. I have tried reset the network settings, Reset all settings, Removed SIM and installed. Still I face the same problem. When I lock the mobile and unlock its showing the signal as Searching then goes to No Service than gets ATT signal. Before I used iPhone 4 and there was no such issues. Would like to know is this issue in some products? So that can replace that might help. Please give your valuable suggestions that greatly helps in resolving the issue. Appreciate your help!!!!
    Thanks
    Bharat

    I suggest that you stop by an AT&T corporate store, not a reseller, and see about replacing the SIM card for the phone. If this does not fix your issue, then you can make an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple store and have them check out the hardware.

  • IOS 4.1 and Signal Issues?

    Now - I have not done any "extensive" testing yet... But I have a gut feeling that my signal has actually weakened with my update of iOS 4.1. Anyone else having this problem? Noticing any degradation?

    I'm getting really bad signal issues after the ios 4.1 update. I was really happy with my iPhone 4 on Vodafone (Good reception + Excellent Data speeds, up & down).
    Now after the update, it seems that the iphone cant get a decent signal or 3g at my home, office or girlfriends...
    WHAT's Going on APPLE!??
    I've done some field tests and my signal is usually -108... aka 1 bar of signal. I just wish i could revert back to 4.0.1....that was acutally better.
    Please can someone help? 4.1 has definately had an adverse effect on my beloved iPhone.

  • Apple says its a DEFECT with signal issue

    Hi all just wanted to share that today i called customer support as like a lot of us are having signal issues with the iphone 4. I was passed to technical guys on the phone and he told me it is a defult and didnt tell me to hold my iphone without touching the bottom left or put a bumper on it. I was then advised to take to local apple store and it will be changed for a new one! so why is MR JOBS telling us to hold it in a different way ? I have made an appointment to take phone in store lets see what happens. Any one else had this fault admitted to you?

    i actually just spoke with an Apple Tech Rep not even 3 minutes ago and she told me that they (Apple) is basically still looking into the problem. she also told me that their is not solution as of now (phone has only been in peoples hand since the 23rd) and that i would be given a case number and be updated. Nothing about bringing it in to replace for another one. I hate to say it but im willing to bet the rep you talked to was wrong. if you really want to test it, bring it in to an apple store, but there is no way they will have a replacement unit for you until july.

  • Iphone 5s have wifi issue after upgraded to ios8.

    Iphone 5S have wifi issue afetr upgraded to IOS 8. Does Apple know about this?? Its really frustrating the signal is weak.

    If you look at google there are some problems with ios8 and it happens to be wifi issue for me.
    If I look at google, I will find that people reporting problems with every version of iOS. And accounts of being abducted by aliens. Just because you are having a WiFi issue does not necessarily mean the issue is with iOS 8 (correlation does not prove causality). Until you've done proper trouble shooting (or had Apple do it for you if you don't feel equipped), it's almost impossible to say why you are having a problem.
    My iPhone 5S is not having any issues with iOS 8.

  • Iphone 4s phone call issues

    I just bought an iphone4s, white, 32gb. Sometimes when I make a phone call the person that I am ringing cannot hear me but I can hear them. I have to turn the phone off and then on again, then call them before they can hear me.  I dont have the phone in a cover as yet. Is anyone else having the same problem and is there a solution?

    Since the latest updates to iOS, I'm hearding more issues reported to my company where iPhone users are not able to be routed correctly in our IVR. From the PBX, I'm seeing such as the following example: Callers dialing an extension 312, for example are able to dial 31, but the 2 is not responding on the iPhone. When the caller does eventually get the 2 to go through, the PBX states 31 is an invalid extension, and then registeres the 2 as a new entry, which is our Sales Queue option. I have confirmed this on my iPhone 4S.
    Dialing in the main keypas dialer on the iPhone is fine. However, the additional, smaller keypad for IVR nagivation use is not.
    IF the keypad is fine on the iphone, but not smaller keyboard whatever that is, what makes it an iphone/Apple or software issue.
