Iphone 5S - low reception at home
Hello all. I've had iphone 4 and 4s and now the 5s. I never had problems before with my reception at home. However, once i removed myself from the family plan, during my 4S, my signal strength at home went from 5 to 3(that's at best). Now on the 5S, im down to 1 or 2 bars. I already spoke with verizon and did a reset several times to no avail. I have voice and data roaming enabled - WHAT DO I DO?! And no im not buying the extender, thats just crazy.

I appreciate you testing that out for us! Since it is only in your home and the case didn't change your experience, it does appear to be interference caused by your house. This can occur for a variety of reasons like building material for example! Due to uncontrollable circumstances like this, VZW is unable to guarantee service indoors. Different models of devices may have different experience in the same area like you're experiencing. Since this isn't happening in other locations, it does not appear to be a device issue.
I know you mentioned previously you're not interested in a home solution. A network extender is an option in this situation however. Please feel free to check out the details here: http://vz.to/T2BjUO

Dead end? Iphone 3gs wont turn on, home button is broken
Hi! I have my iPhone 3gs for about 3 years now, working flawless. Last night I had my iphone on low battery until eventually it died. I connected it about 30 mins later to my charger, but after a hour I noticed it just won't react! I tried four other chargers that are compatible and none seemed to work. So I tried maybe to do a DFU mode solution, but my home button is broken so I can't do it manually. It's possible as a software in the PC..But the catch is my PC wont recognize my phone...:P
This looks like a complete dead end! Do people here have any other solution to this? Else...I'm afraid I might be needing to get a new phone. :/You can probably get the home button fixed (and maybe a new battery) at a local repair shop. Else, purchase a new phone.

I have bought a IPhone 4 from Malaysia, my home button is not working. I want to replace the phone under warranty but all service centres mention that its country specific and I need to get it replaced only at malaysia. Can anyone guide me what to do????
The iPhone warranty is not international and as you purchased in
Malaysia the warranty is only valid in Malaysia
You could try taking to an iPhone Authorised service provider
in India but there have been many similar posts to yours
and I am not aware of them assisting with an iPhone from
outside India -
I recently cracked the bottom part of my iPhone 5 right by the home button, would it be beneficial to put a screen protector over the cracks so it won't break anymore? I've cracked it twice now and can't afford to fix it again
How did you crack the screen using a Lifeproof case??

Iphone 5 low battery settings with wifi
Are there any special Iphone 5 low battery settings with wifi? Today I was using my iphone and the wifi magically turned off by itself. I figured it was just having trouble finding the wifi so I went to my settings to see what was going on. Somehow it turned itself off. I'm guessing this is because I had a low battery. I just got the battery message saying my phone had reached 20% battery a few minutes before that happened. Has this ever happened to anyone before?

Yes, and you would have had that answer had you bothered to search this forum before posting.
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. -
IPhone will not connect to home WiFi
new iPhone 4 6.0 will not connect to home wifi--other apple products (iPad & other iPhone 4) will connect to home WiFi--I experienced this problem with first iPhone 4 received 11/13--got new phone 11/26 and STILL can not connect
Is this a password protected network? Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. After that, try to connect again. This reset will remove all password and wifi information from the device and should give you a clean start to connect to the home network.

Iphone not recognised in lg home theatre system

Hello...I was just gifted a new Sony BDV-E390 Blu-ray Disc/DVD Home Theatre System. Now I am searching for the best TV to use with it. I don't know the most about technology by any means. I do know that I am looking between the 46" and 55" range for size however. The Blu-ray player is 3D ready it says and I first and foremost do not want to have any feature not able to be used on my new TV. Do I need a 3D TV? I understand that the 1080p TV's are the best I think and the 120hz as well. I guess the "bigger is better" rule works here? Any suggestions for the best TV or at least features to a TV that would work best with my new Theatre System??
Thanks in advance!
Best bang for buck TV right now is the Panasonic ST50 series plasma.

How could it have been a brand new phone if there were already pictures on it?
I'd ask for your money back.

Hi mltmj123,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To address this issue, I would suggest you close all open apps, then restart and reset your iPhone. Here's how:
iOS: Force an app to close

I have a white iPhone 4 16gb and the home button doesn't sit flush with my screen, it feels like it has sunk down a little. Warranty expires June 2012 so it is under warranty, Would i be illegible for a replacement? Thanks
No way really for anyone here to give you an answer to that question. You would need to either send it to Apple for evaluation, or take it into the genius bar at a nearby Apple Store and ask them about it. Only an Apple employee could make the call, and they would need to see and handle it to decide.
