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...

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • HT201210 is the io.7 been fixed yet, with the battery life dying on the iphone,

    has the iphone battery life been fixed yet, since the io.7 been added to the phone

    I'm not having any problems with IOS7 on my Iphone 5.
    I think it's a lot to do with the settings you have turned on.  One big draw is the Background App Refresh.

  • Iphone 4 reception FIX "SEEING IS BELIEVING" Video posted

    Here is my ip4 reception fix....
    Note; I have the zagg full body protection and I made sure on the sides I covered the black line. This did not help the reception problem so today i added a piece of transfer tape and wala reception problem gone. This may or may not work for you and its only a temporary fix to a bigger problem that apple needs to adress. If you do get the zagg body shield I would suggest using the left over cut out and place over the black lines it will stick much better than tape...I know not all you have clear vinyl or transfer tape laying around.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPHH8VAuyGE
    Seeing is believing!!!
    If this helps you post and let us know....I have some clear vinyl that I will cut out to exact size tomorrow.
    I really hope this helps you folks

    the zagg does have a slot for the rear facing camera and back as well as back flash.
    Transfer tape is a tape that is used to transfer decals onto objects. If you have ever applied a window decal that you have to put on your window and rub then pull of the clear transfer material that is transfer tape.
    I own a graphics design/printing business and I do vehicle graphics and window decals and so forth..I just tried it today and it seems to work. I would think any type of tape would work....try clear scotch tape and maybe double up in that area.
    Once again this is a temporary fix for a bigger problem...but it works as the video shows..

  • 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.
    http://money.cnn.com/2010/07/15/technology/iphone_beta/index.htm
    I just want to know when Apple & AT&T are going to get it together.

    Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

    Who knows, perhaps they'll include that option in the future.
    Best of luck.

  • Wifi connectivity issues iPad 2.. Any fixes yet?

    I have issues keeping a connection to my home network.  No, I don't have an airport router (just in case that comes up).  My iPad connects, but loses signal strength, even though I'm only a few feet away from the router, and sometimes just disconnects altogether.  I'm wondering if anyone knows of a fix yet.  I noticed there are quite a few users having similar troubles, but haven't seen anyone actually ask or receive concrete feedback regarding a fix.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Is there an Iphone 3G Software Update Fixes security vulnerability associated with viewing malicious PDF files?  Latest version I can download is 4.2.1
    I assume no fix is available, does anyone know if I'm still vulnerable to the security bug?

    No fix is needed since that vulnarability isn't in 4.2.1.

  • Phantom restarts / crashes with Maverick. Restore Disk Utility, disk can't be repaired says "live system repair is not supported" Is there a fix yet? Or is Maverick "FREE" because Apple no longer offers free phone support?

    Phantom restarts / crashes with Maverick. Under restore Disk Utility, disk can't be repaired says "live system repair is not supported" Is there a fix yet? Or is Maverick "FREE" because Apple no longer offers free phone support?

    Get onto the integrated iOS + Mac OS and end support for "legacy" Mac 10.8 and earlier.
    Force older hardware users like me to upgrade to new hardware which is where $$ are.
    Make apps work across tablets, phone, and computer with similar (though not the "same" app, but able to read and use the same file format).
    Simplify.
    I don't think anyone incl. Microsoft knew Windows 8.1 was going to be a free upgrade, I didn't and read that it would be more like $30.
    No OS is ready for everyone on the day it is launched. iOS 7 is now 7.04 and climbing, Mac OS tends to really not be ready until the last patch and version is out, often a year or more after it was first issued. Ship it, then plan to fix the bugs left in or that surface.
    www.macperformanceguide.com is saying "No" to Maverick for now. Of course there will be no "No" on new Mac Pro 2013 6,1 when those ship (Late Jan? )

  • How to search my stolen iPhone if it was not yet registered with iCloud

    How to search my stolen iPhone if it was not yet registered with iCloud

    You can't.
    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

  • Any Fixes Yet?

    I have some very expensive (to me) foreign language training CDs that worked fine on my old imac but won't run on my intel based Macbook Pro. I understand that there is a difference between OS Classic and the Rosetta based system. Do you have any insight on newly developed software that will allow reformatting or reading the old CDs. I hate to have to go through the expense of replacing them...almost cheaper to but a PC just to run the apps.

    Any Fixes Yet?
    Sorry, but applications that require Mac OS 9, or Classic, will not run an Intel Mac.
    This is not something that is likely to change.

  • 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 ?
