IPhone 6 3G & LTE Connectivity issue

We purchased an iPhone 6 the day they were released. My son said the 3G and LTE stopped working about 3 days after getting it. Wifi is still functional.  We have tried everything to reset the system and any little work-arounds we have seen. Nothing works. He installed IOS 8.0.2 and we were under the impression that would solve the problem.  Nope!  Any other ideas as to how to solve this?  I'm heading to my Bell store this week for further investigation but it would be great to solve it before then.

Hey there tracturk,
It sounds like the cellular data on your sons iPhone 6 is not functioning properly even after you reset the phone and updated to iOS 8.0.2. I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue with the phone:
iPhone cellular data connection issues
Follow these steps for help with cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, test to see if your iPhone still has the issue.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
Restart your iPhone.
Make sure that your software is up to date:
Check for a Carrier Settings Update: Tap Settings > General > About.
Check for an iOS Software Update: Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still doesn't, contact your carrier to report the issue.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Resetting network settings on your device will erase all current saved settings, including Wi-Fi passwords, preferred networks, and VPN settings.
Restore the iPhone as new.
Contact your carrier to:
Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • IPhone 4 voice/data connection issues?

    I've had my iPhone 4 for around 6 months now. Lately I've been dropping a lot of out-going calls and have had some issues receiving calls in the last few days. Today I've had 3 voice mail notifications from people who have tried to call me and could not get through. It rings through to voicemail and sends me a notification after they're done recording. I have anywhere from 2 to 4 service bars, usually averaging at 3 in this location.
    On top of the voice and call issues, I've been having problems with GPS and location services lately, too. I use the Waze app for directions. My phone will register 3G data signal, but none of the apps that use GPS can find any location. I have Location Service turned on in settings and have no problem starting my routes when I have wifi signal at home before I leave.

  • Please update Lumia 920 LTE connections issues.

    just want to say that this is a wonderful device.
    I am having issues with LTE intermittently connecting. I have to reset the phone to correct sometimes.
    Will there be a update that addresses this?

    To be honest. I have four identical 920's in my house. The other 3 people using them aren't heavy internet/data users. As soon as I used internet connection sharing (works perfectly by the way - also made sure WIFI stayed on with lock screen) my phone no longer connects to LTE as the preferred freq choice. The other phones have never done ICS and they are all constantly on LTE and never switch down. My set is constantly on 3G or 4G. If I travel, and the LTE connection is strong, then the phone does go there but typically not. I believe its a WP8 issue. Please fix because I'd like to appreciate the LTE speed that is offered here.

  • I am going to get a replacement for my iphone 5C, for data connection issues. Can I get an 5S, instead of antother 5C as a replacement?

    Hello, I have been having issues with my iPhone 5C for about a month now. I have unlimited everything, including data, & so randomly, starting about 2 weeks ago, my data basically does not work for any apps, besides like iMessage & Safari. So like if I have full LTE signal, I can try to open the Instagram app, and it will tell me "no internet connection", & it tells me that with ANY app, besides iMessage & Safari. Which is super frustrating, especially when I try to use like Maps or something & it jut does not load, & tells me that "there is not an internet connection", so I have to use apps & stuff only on wifi, in order for them to work. I went to the Sprint store, and had them try and update the data profile, reset data network, soft reset, etc (they basically did everything that I did), & they could NOT figure out what was wrong with my phone. So, they looked into my warranty information, and told me to take my phone to the Apple Store, and just get a replacement & that it would cost me only $50, since it is still covered under warranty. I am not up for an upgrade until April of 2016, & as far as I know, when it comes to replacements, Apple will either give me a new/refurbished iPhone 5C as a replacement. I don't really mind having to pay a little extra if I have to, in order to get a 5S , & I also don't care if the 5S would be either new or refurbished. So, my question is, could I maybe get a 5S as a replacement, instead of another 5C?

  • Anyone having LTE connection issue after updating to 8.0.2.?

    After updating my iPhone 5S to 8.0.2, I can no longer connect my phone to LTE but my iPhone 6 plus is fine. Anyone having the same issue?

    The Health app won't work in iOS 8 after these steps. It will be fixed in our upcoming iOS 8.0.2 software update.
    Last Modified: Sep 25, 2014
    There is no IOS 8.0.2 out yet. There is no patch for iPhone5s.
    This update is specific for iPhone6/6+ as indicated
    Download the file below that corresponds to your device:
    iPhone 6
    iPhone 6 Plus
    8.0.2 is out.  But if it's true that 8.0.2 is only for iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, WHY would it appear on devices that aren't 6 or 6 plus?  I have two 6 phones and the update went fine.  But the update also appeared on our iPad's, which I downloaded and that went fine as well.

  • LTE Connectivity issue

    I updated my iphone 6 to ioS 8.1 last night. and since then i have gone thru two stints where my phone will be unable to visit websites, send texts, use internet based apps.  Last night it fixed itself but im now approaching 3 hours where i cannot do anything that requires LTE despite being connected to it.  No wi fi in the area to connect to.  Anyone having similar issues?

    reset, no data loss. hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.
    settings - general - reset - reset network settings.
    if both don't help, then you will need to contact your phone carrier as LTE - cellular data is a carrier feature.

  • IPhone 6 wifi slow/connectivity issues

    I am new to the Apple family, and i just bought the iPhone 6. I am experiencing frustrating amount of WiFi problems with this phone. I updated to iOS 8.1 last night hoping the problem goes away but it still persists.
    I am connected to the home WiFi, but the webpage loading/receiving Whatsapp messages/accessing App Store is mind-numbingly slow on a good day, and refuses to load anything when i desperately need it. My WiFi works perfectly with all other devices connected on the network. Including my old phone.
    I have tried all the methods i could find online.
    Turn Wi-Fi off and on
    Forget WiFi network and connect again
    Reset Network Settings
    Change DNS
    Restore from iTunes Backup
    Restore as a new device
    Turning router off and on
    Network is on WPA2
    Frankly, i have had it with Apple. I am regretting buying this. I am burning through my LTE data, and with more than 20 days on the month cycle and less than 1 gig of data left, i am looking at a huge amount for the mobile bill if the issue doesn't get sorted soon.
    Is there any other suggestion? Any other idea? Or will i just have to smash this piece of crap to bits and cry over dollars spent over nothing?

    I should add that after backing up my data from my old iPhone 5 through iTunes and then migrating the data through iTunes to my new iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 seemed to recognize WiFi hotspots I'd previously used with my iPhone 5, but didn't take the passwords with it. That is, for each WiFi hotspot, it would try to connect to the hotspot but would tell me that the password was wrong/had to be re-entered. I wasn't sure whether this was a bug or whether it was somehow by design; and I assumed that, if it were a bug, it was unrelated to the issues I mentioned in my previous post. Now I'm less sure that they're unrelated.

  • EVO LTE connection issues

    I found this interesting. I'm having problems with connection on my phone. I had a EVO Shift, no connection issus.
    After pointing out our own findings as well as the forum complaints, Sprint communications manager Natalie Papaj replied, “We are aware of the issue and are currently investigating it. I will keep you posted as I know more.”
    This is on  http://www.techhive.com/article/2000138/htc-evo-4g-lte-signal-woes-confirmed.html

    These are indeed hardware limitations so flashing new software won't solve anything unfortunately. 
    There are different versions of the Z3+ intended for different markets (different bands). The Xperia Z3+ dual/E6533 supports the following bands:
    GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz UMTS HSPA+ 850 (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 1700 (Band IV), 1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I) MHz TD-LTE (Band 38, 39, 40, 41) FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17, 20)
    If your operator uses these bands there shouldn't be any issues.

  • IPhone and Keynote remote connection issues.

    I have been trying to connect my phone to my computer so that I can use to keynote remote app. Over the wifi network there is a bunch of lag while trying to control so that is not good at all. Therefore I tried to use the ad-hoc mode from my macbook pro. Using channel 9 I was able to get it to connect but after using the remote to change a couple of slides I get lag and then an error saying that I am no longer connected to a wifi network.

    Wow, I was really hoping that there would be an answer in here since it isn't that publicized.
    I have found that when using the network created by my MacBook Pro (no wifi at work) the signal is so weak that the phone will only search for keynote when my iPhone is sitting on the keyboard. Even then though, it will never connect to keynote. I don't know what is wrong with it because the day the iPhone app came out it worked fine.
    I plan on calling Apple today about it. I'll post if I find out anything.

  • Iphone 4s IOS6 WAP Connectivity Issue : Not Accepting Password Key (Australia, Sydney)

    Hi Everyone,
    I posted a similiar topic, but lost my thread for it.
    I have numerous Iphone 4S's at my work and a few of them were upgraded to IO6. I work in IT so i thought i'd give it a test and couple of staff also upgraded to IOS6.
    I have a Netgear WG102
    Firmware: 5.03 is the latest
    WEP Security
    Network Authentication: OPEN
    Broadcast SSID: Yes
    Data Encryption 64bits WEP
    Wireless Client Security Separation Disabled
    Operating Mode: Auto - 8020.11g/802.11b
    Data Rate Best
    Output Power full
    Country Australai
    IP Address, Subnet, gateway and DNS addreses applied acdordingly
    The FEW who have upgraded to IOS 6 are unable to connect to my WAP including myself.
    I have tried Backup/Restore Iphone 4s
    RESET Network Settings
    Selected FORGET this network and attempted to reconnect, still doesnt accept the key
    Tried to Manually select the WAP and manually apply the config details as opposed to automatically accepting details when it accepts the key
    I have recreated the same ABOVE config profile on the WAP device, just a different key and no success.
    i have also taken the Iphone4s of mine to the Australian, CBD, George St Apple store where they wiped the phone. We got the phone back to factory, connected it to "THEIR" WiFi. The answer i got from the Manager at the time was "If it works here, there's no fault with the phone"
    I still have the majority of my staff using IOS5 which im not permitting them up upgrade for the above reason
    I was suspecting FIRMWARE versions being different upon upgrading to IOS6
    I found Modem Firmware: 04.12.02 or higher seemed to have no problems connecting to my WAP, if it was lower then the phones werent connectning.
    Im reading on other posts people are suspecting DNS, Wireless Config setup.
    I have created a SSID with NONE security to connect and still says Unable to Join the network
    Tried WPA-PSK
    Tried WPA2-PSK : AES Encryption
    Tried WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK with TKIP + AES Encryption
    Added MAC Address of my Iphone to be TRUSTED
    I enabled Super-G Mode for proprietary support of 820.11g
    I can confirm the two Iphone 4S's i have problems with at the moment were "Problem FREE"
    At this point the only thing i havent done it downgraded Firmware of the device
    Message was edited by: Shannon.Roberts

    Hi Matt,
    Im from Sydney Australia, that version i dont think is an option how the below is for me
    WG102 Firmware Version 5.0.3 (All regions except North America)
    The above is what i have, however the below is the next one down
    WG102 Firmware Version 5.0.1 (All regions except North America)
    How far of a FIRMWARE downgrade did you go for yours ?
    Hoping i can try this with one pot shot instead of different firmware trials
    Thanks

  • IPhone 6 plus LTE service issue

    My iPhone 6 Plus refuses to stay on LTE. I turn on airplane mode for about 30 seconds then turn it off and it jumps to LTE but then a couple minutes later right back to 3G. Is anyone else having this problem?

        Thanks for filling us in a bit more, yanranicm85. I'm glad you were already able to speak with our technical team and I'm confident you're on the right path. Please keep us posted if you need additional assistance after the SIM has been replaced.

  • My iPhone 4 is having connectivity issues.

    I can call and send text, but when I try to load an app the connection is pending all the time, nothing is loading basically. Safari doesn't load at all.

    What are you trying to connect it on?  Wifi or 3g? If your trying to connect on wifi, does 3g work?

  • IPhone 6 and Bluetooth phone connectivity issues with my vehicle: this is how I fixed it.

    With so many threads on this topic, I wanted to detail the steps I took to fix my iPhone 6 Bluetooth issues regarding connectivity to my vehicle and handsfree calling.  My phone was pairing with my vehicle without a problem and syncing my contacts and call history but when I attempted to make a call (from either the phone or the vehicle screen) the audio went out and I could not hear the call either through the vehicle speakers or on the phone. The call was going through but I was unable to see it on my vehicle screen and/or hear it either the phone or the vehicle screen. 
    Based on my research and what I have learned so far, the people having problems are those who restored their new iPhone 6 from an iCloud backup from a previous phone, rather than setting up their iPhone 6 as a new phone.  I did an iCloud restore from my previous 5s running iOS 8.   
    First, I am a Verizon customer and I enabled Advanced Calling on my line.  After I requested that this feature be added to my line, under “Cellular” settings on my iPhone, I enabled LTE voice & data.
    Next steps:
    1) Unpair/remove iPhone from the vehicle;
    2) Forget/remove the vehicle from the phone Bluetooth settings;
    3) Soft reset the iPhone;
    4) Reset network settings on the iPhone; and
    5) Pair the phone to the vehicle again and attempt to make a call. 
    If that does not work…
    6) Perform a factory reset, erasing EVERYTHING from your phone and set it up as a new iPhone rather than restoring from a backup.  
    Resetting the network settings seems to be working for some people.  It did not work for me.  I tried it a few times with no result.  I did the dreaded factory reset, paired the phone with my vehicle and had all of my Bluetooth functionality back and was able to use the handsfree phone with zero issues.
    I was on the phone yesterday multiple times with Apple, Toyota Entune, Verizon and my Toyota dealer. Verizon blamed Toyota Entune, Toyota Entune blamed Verizon and my Toyota dealer blamed Apple.  Nobody had a clue how to fix this issue or what was causing it. I don’t know the exact reason why the previous iCloud backups are killing the Bluetooth connections, I just know what worked for me and I thought it was worth sharing. 
    Good luck.

    The new 8.0.2 update DID NOT FIX THIS ISSUE AT ALL. After you power off and on with the phone, same issue as the 8.0, all 3 of my cars lost Bluetooth connection and shows no signal at all.  Good job Apple, what a lousy update you guys did.
