Iphone 5s poor reception of signal

I am facing a lot of issue with connectivity of my iphone 5s.. I still use my 4s and when both phones are placed side by side.. the 4s has complete dots(signals) where as the 5s does show only 1 or 2 dots.. I have taken 5s to apple service center and got it replaced..so I have my new 5s now.. but again its the same problem.. very poor signals and dropped calls..i am using the most updated version of software 8.1 and also I am not using any case.
I have taken a new sim from my service provider just to rule out any issue with sim.. but still its same.. my battery is just draining and when checked the "battery usage" phone -low signal shows like 20%..
I am thinking to move back to android... as all other users in my home does not have any connectivity issues and its from the same service provider...
Any suggestions help is greatly appreciated.

IPhone 6 poor reception fixed yet?

I just wanted to know if Verizon has figured out why using Voice and Data results in poor reception quality?
I bought an iPhone 6 and returned it days after because when I enabled Voice and Data over LTE often the best I could get was 1x while trying to use data on a call, and I would often be on 3G most every where. When I switched it back to Data over LTE only, I would get 2 bars, 3 at most. I never sent the command to show the cell signal in db's. I should have.
I have access to a ton of iPhones through work, so I grabbed a couple both Verizon and At&t, and ran some non scientific test. Results were, At&t never had a problem, but of the 3 verizon versions, all of them exhibited the same reception problem. So, it can't be just a bad phone...
Reading the internets, it seems people say to solve the problem just use LTE for data only, replace the phone, and replace the sim. I am sorry that is an unacceptable solution, as I need both data and voice at the same time.
It is not a network coverage issue, as I live within 15 miles from Verizon World Headquarters, and I am neighbors with the CEO (sudo neighbors, live in the same general area)...
Using my Verizon LG G2 with VoLTE, not a single problem. Signal strength is very strong, have always been able to get calls, no dropped calls, etc...
So, any solution yet verizon?
Thanks....

second part...
So, that $500 million and then some check from Uncle Sam to upgrade the infrastructure went to what...also, i would really love to understand why I get charged for text messages (have an old plan, unlimited data though) since it cost ABSOLUTELY nothing to send a text message, its tacked onto the carrier signal of a voice call, that is being transmitted from the tower, and doesn't even have to be Verizons tower.
I put up with Verizon's ridiculous prices and their crippled phones (see verizon bloatware, added Skins/UIs, and root checkers), because the service was always consistently the best. One of the man reasons I like the iPhones, because Verizon can't cripple them...so imagine how thrilled I was to get the new iPhone 6...but only be disappointed because of this problem. I have a Lg G2 because the battery last 2 days for me and I am heavy user...if anyone is wondering. I have an iPhone 6 for work on At&t...so I am not totally upset, just wish my personal phone worked so well.
Sorry rant over...

Note 3 poor reception, no signal, dropped calls. other phones have no problem. have reset it, pulled battery, support has reset towers etc. still having issues.

note 3 poor reception, dropped calls, no signal, 3g not 4g. out of service area message at home this is crazy. other phones have no problem,

Wow! That's quite the large area, Nicki05. The service along Interstate 65 is pretty strong in general. Do you use any type of case on your phone? Has your phone been replaced through your warranty when you gave our Tech Support a call?

IPhone 5 poor reception compared to my old iPhone 4s

I recently picked up my iPhone 5 last night and realized after activating, my reception wasn't too good in my house. Now before when I had my iPhone 4s, the reception was just fine. It ranged from 2-3 bars, but now my iPhone 5 will range from 1-2 when untouched. When in my hand the bars will drop to one. When placed on a table the bars go back up. I'm not sure why this only occurs at my household, but I find it odd. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the hardware or the software.

So what is your technical support question?

Hi guys, i just got my iPhone 4s and sometimes the signal is lost and i have to restart the phone in order to get reception again. do you thing there is a problem with the phone or with the carrier? thanks

I have the exact same problem. Called my operator who told me it was a hardware issue and Apple is working on a fix...

No signal or poor reception in nyc

so the building i work verizon phones are useless inside. no reception at all not. maybe others have the issue in buildings in nyc

We are using Verizon Wireless family plan, and we suffer from poor reception both at home and at work, here at South Hackensack NJ, just 10 minutes away from NYC, one of Verizon's strongest markets. We usually have 1 bar or 2, if we're lucky, and data is usually only 3G, or very slow 4G. It's been like this since we switched to Verizon last year. If we didn't have ongoing contracts, I would've definitely switched to another carrier (T-Mobile and AT&T have excellent reception for both data and voice).
I hope someone looks into this problem we're having at zip code 07606.
Thanks.

Poor Reception in an area that's suppose to be a 3G Area & Other bugs

AT&T may have the fastest 3G network and were the signal is strong its works very well however where the signal is weak three bars or less the service is often interrupted because of poor service. The Apple Iphone 3GS has reception issues although I may be in a 3G environment I am lucky to have three bars of reception most of the time I only have two and sometimes only one. I think the problem is duly blamed on both apple and AT&T. On Thursday Friday & Saturday I was in Corpus Christi Texas in Nueces County Texas on the South Texas Coastal bend 3g coverage signal strength was extremely in consistent when over downtown corpus Christi I had four out of five bars when up the road from the local AT&T store I had five bars when out of Padre Island not far from the Bob Hall Pier I had one bar most of the time sometimes only two bars voice communication was fair however cellular data transferring or downloading using 3G cellular data was a failure most of the time I could not download app updates, could not play Farmville, Since upgrading to Iphone OS 4.01 the problem worsened and some apps no longer work and location services is buggy and sometimes does not correctly revile my proper location sometimes it doesn’t revel my location at all. After syncing new pictures in Itunes new synced photos often do not show up until after I turn the phone off then back on. On July 15 CNN money did a report on Iphone signal bar fix shows AT&T weak spots.

I just want to know when Apple & AT&T are going to get it together.

How can I solve my Atheros adapter poor reception problem?

Pavillion p6144f desktop running Windows 7 64 bit
Connectivity issues in wireless situation
Atheros 802.11 a/b/g/n adapter not responding well
Poor reception with modem 8 feet away
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6144f Desktop Computer. According to the specs, your wireless card supports two (2) antenna connections: 2 internal posts to connect an internal or external antenna. Please verify that there is an antenna or two connected to the 802.11 wireless card. Also, if you are attempting to use 5GHz, consider using 2.4GHz instead. I have tried using 5GHz and the signal doesn't travel very far (example; router down stairs, simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz... phone upstairs, 6 bars on 2.4GHz, 1 bar on 5GHz)

Poor or NO SignaL?

HEllo All~
I live in what I call a "geographical oddity" meaning that most cell phone carriers have very weak signals here. Which for the most part makes it unable for me to make a call from the house. But with At&T I do get the occasional 2-3 bars especially when I have it in this one spot on my house.
Anyhow~ I had a motorola Slvr L7 before and now that I've got the Iphone I dont get any signal at all! Not even in the spot where I normally used to get a couple bars. I remember it was always enough to text out and in...but now nothing!
I just went to the store, and normally I get FULL bars there and I got NONE. And this is a spot where I was always able to call.
Is anyone else having this problem? I am just curious to see if this phone gets a weaker signal strength??
Thanks all~
Annie

Hello Annie.
If your iPhone had full reception at this store in the past but doesn't now, it sounds like something may be wrong with your iPhone's SIM card or the iPhone itself.
I suggest calling AT&T first to determine if they are having any cell tower or network problems in your area and if not, give AppleCare a call - (800) 694-7466 - obviously not with your iPhone.

How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

Thanks for the tip. If only I could find somewhere where I did not lose the signal.
I am based in the United Kingdom. The carrier is Orange.
I lose the signal inside buildings and outside of buildings. It happens at work and at home. It happens in Centarl London in the open air and inside. It happens in small towns.. It happens in the countryside. It happens in motor cars. It happens in airports. It happens when the battery is fully charged, when it is half charged and when it's low on charge. It happens using the phone, when reading messages and when using the internet.
Hope this helps.

Have recently acquired an additional black MacBook, and installed Snow Leopard onto it. Trying to get it to connect via a plug-in USB wifi unit (poor reception on Airport) I have an extra Network Location which does not work. How can I remove it?

Need to get a second hand black MacBook connected. Poor reception on Airport so tried a plug in wifi aerial. That didn't work, but now have a Network Location I can't get rid of. How do I remove it ?

Hello my ginger,
I tried what you suggested - but to no success. The problem came up when I was re-entering the new settings. If I left it as using DHCP it would run for a few seconds with no IP address, then drop in a 169.254 one which would not connect through. To overcome this I tried using the 'Using DHCP with manual address' option and entered in an address which it had set up from the clone boot. This appeared to be okay. When I then tried renewing DHCP lease sometimes that address held. When I tried connecting though - no sight of the internet, and the exclamation mark was across the wifi icon in the menu bar. If I switched it to Using DHCP it would randomly fall back to the 169.254 address.
The only significant differences I could see when cross checking all the settings info was in the WINS panel the NetBIOS had a slightly different configuration of the name - but as they ended in the same numbers I assumed they were the same. And, when looking under Keychain Access, in the System section list (it also appeared in the login section) additional info box they had different locations - 28 characters in four groups. I don't have a clue what this refers to. Also the allow access list in the boot clone included System Preferences, but did not in the Snow Leopard boot, so I added it in. With no success.
I am so frustrated I am thinking of giving up. I seen have loads of postings on the net about a variety of problems with wifi connection on Snow Leopard. I have version 10.6.3. Did it get any better in later Snow Leopard ? Or in any of the OS s after that ? It was always so easy and so solid under Leopard - why the h**l did they change it ?

My iphone 5 *****. Always losses signal. No service. Omg so frustrating. Called AT&T bunch of times and still nothing. If this doesn't get resolved vary soon I'm switching to galaxy s4. Any pointers?

Try restarting your iPhone. Press and hold the power and home button for 10 seconds and then turn your device back on. Otherwise, the place where you currently are may not have very good signal for ATT.
