Iphone 6 t-mobile signal comes and goes

I've been a t-mobile customer for over a year with an iPhone 4 and 5s and few problems. With the iPhone 6, my t-mobile signal is non-existant in some areas or disappears. Restarting phone restores signal or establishes it where none existed previously. Is this a hardware problem?

I've done most of the things listed below. In some cases it has restored my service. I've owned four previous iPhones. I've never had to do this with any of the other ones. Even if some of these things restores the signal, why should I need to do them with this iPhone 6 when I've never had to do them with the previous models?
If you're in your carrier's coverage area
Follow these steps, testing after each.
Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Restart your device.
Remove the SIM card. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or if it's too big or small for the SIM tray, contact your carrier for a new one. Then reinsert the SIM card.
Check for a carrier-settings update: Connect to a Wi-Fi network, tap Settings > General > About, and install any available carrier-settings updates. If you can't connect to Wi-Fi, connect your device to a computer that has iTunes.
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues.
Restore your iPhone.
If you see No Service while roaming or traveling
You might be outside of your carrier's coverage area. If you're traveling internationally, you'll need an international roaming plan to use your iPhone or iPad.

  • Wireless Signal Comes And Goes

    I have T40p laptop and i'm having trouble keeping a steady wireless signal, it comes and goes. It will connect to my router for a minute then it goes away. Then it comes back, then it goes away this is beyond frustrating. When i use my high speed cable thats connected to my router my laptop works fine. I've downloaded 3 different drivers from the Lenovo site, these are drivers that a person on the phone told me to download. Is this a hardware or a software issue? Can someone please, please help??
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You may want to change the channel that the router is broadcasting with.  I was originally broadcasting with channel 2 on my router (Linksys WRT54GL with latest DDWRT firmware) but I was getting sporadic drop outs with my X60s, the wife's Acer, my T61 and the mediacenter PC in the living room.  I was a bit confused and thought it might have been driver related but the problem seems to have just appeared out of nowhere and it affected both my XP and Vista PC's.  How could it affect all my computers if I have turned off auto update and have not installed anything new for quite some time? 
    I did a refresh of the wireless networks and found that since I last checked, there are a few more routers in my vacinity so I thought that they could be all interfering with one another and broadcasting on almost the same default frequency.  I started with channel 1 and finally worked my way up to channel 4 and none of my computers has dropped out for over a day now.  When the dropouts occurred, they would happen every 3 to 5 minutes, which was very annoying to say the least.

  • I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery

    I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery... or just buy a galaxy s5?

    If you dropped it in water, and then plugged it in, you may very well have destroyed the battery and/or the logic board.  Charging/plugging in to a power source is very damaging to wet electronic devices.  There is not much you can do but replace the entire iPhone...and since you did repairs yourself Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement.
    You can try replacing the battery, the lightning port is another issue, but I would not expect that iPhone to work again.

  • My iPhone sound comes and goes, and I usually have to wait awhile before it returns again?

    in the last few weeks I have notice my phone (iphone 4S) sounds comes and goes a few times a day, I have reset and turning it on and off and does not work. I usually have to wait a few minutes before it returns. Its getting fustrated not knowing how it happen. Need help

    I also have the same issue sound comes and goes. No music no text sounds no app sounds. Only can hear when on speaker and when phone rings. Other day my friend let me borrow a cord that plugs into phone then lets me plug phone into tv to watch movies. Bam it works for about a day then stops. Plug it back in again it works. I'm not sure how to fix it completely. The cord gets plugged into the same place as when you charge it then plug in the hdmi cord. I to need a permanent fix.

  • Ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes, has anyone else had the same experience. have rung Apple Care and they have reset my connection but it is still happening

    ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes....have reported this to Apple Care who have helped me reset my connection but it is still happening...cant believe it is a fault of the ISP as my Iphone does not have this problem, nor does my PC laptop...is this a fault in the new system?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • IPhone 5s doesn't ring and goes directly to voice mail. Do not disturb is disabled. Have reset network settings and did a hard reset.  What am I missing?

    Call your phone carrier - that's a problem for them to resolve.

  • My screen looks like a green mesh has been placed over it. It is nearly illegible and comes and goes.

    my screen looks like a green mesh has been placed over it. It is nearly illegible and comes and goes. Nothing I do can remove it.  Does anyone have a remedy?

    You have a hardware problem and the only people/place that can fix that is an Apple store or AARP.
    So take it into your nearest Apple store or AARP.

  • Mac Pro 8-core Power Supply Making Humming Noise That Comes And Goes

    This is in reference to a Mac Pro 3,1 8-core purchased around Feb 2008.
    Lately, I've noticed a strange noise coming from my power supply that sounds like the noise a refrigerator radiator makes. It's a humming noise that rapidly comes and goes, constantly.
    The power supply fan speed is running at 599rpm
    I'm not sure if the problem could've been caused by adding additional ram (12GB, OWC) or an additional HDD (3rd HDD, WD), but I didn't really notice the noise until after adding these components.
    What could be the cause of this problem? What are my repair options if necessary (without Apple Care)?
    Thanks in advance.

    I know for a fact it is not any of my hard drives because the noise is becoming more frequent no matter what hard drive I use, I actually have a 1.5tb, a 1tb, two 500gb and two 320gb drives, I have set an appointment to take my system in and have it tested, it is starting to crash 5-6 times a day. I can not get a lot of work done with this annoying spinning noise and the shutting down. Thank god for my Apple care, and I have visited various forums that lead me to believe its the power supply going out, with the symptoms it is having. This article and others like it explain what to look for when a power supply is going bad.

  • Strange Line In problem with my X-Fi Elite Pro. Stereo sound comes and goes

    I have an X-Fi Elite Pro with latest drivers installed. Everything works fine, except for the Line In port in Entertainment mode. I have an AverMedia TV/FM card and its audio output (stereo) is plugged in my X-Fi's Line In/Mic In (PCI). The problem is that I get sound only from the right channel but not from the left one, so the sound comes out in mono. From time to time, I get to hear in stereo (both channels) but it seems a random event. This input works just fine in Game and Creation modes btw.
    Stereo sound from this particular input comes and goes in random order and sometimes I get about 50% on the left and 00% on the right channel. Sometimes, left channel volume fades in and out slowly. I already did some troubleshooting such as set Line in/Mic In/Digital In to "Line In/Mic In", speaker diagnostics, checked it in Game & Creation modes, turned to default values and so on but I still get this problem.
    Seems pretty wired. A ghost in the machine! Creative products never seize to amaze us!

    Soo...your're calling me stupid? Well, perhaps your right, but then again, I might have a point!
    Read my post again.
    If you still think it's too low with SVM enabled and everything is turned up...then I'm affraid you're out of luck and might consider buying another speaker set, if it's a major issue to you.

  • 2 droid DNA's service comes and goes on one

    We have 2 droid DNA's and where we are on my phone the service comes and goes drops to no service most of the time. The other phone changes from 1x to 3x but doesn't drop service. I have reloaded my phone several times and entered *228 to get the local towers nothing seems to change it. Any opinions?

         Thanks for the reply and the additional info mcharette5470. Your patience is very much appreciated. Now let's turn our attention to the text messaging. May I ask are you experiencing this issue with every number that you text or is it a specific number? Also, how much available device memory do you have? Just for my piece of mind, may I have you share the Android and software version that you have installed so I can confirm that it is the most current?
    Thank you...

  • Internet connection comes and goes

    My Macbook is hooked up to my husbands wireless network and used to go through the Time Machine but he had problems with it so he took it off the network. Now my internet connection comes and goes every 5 to 10 minutes - it loses connection and then finds it again.
    My husband (the computer expert in the house) doesnt really care so it is up to me to figure out what is wrong. Can anyone help me?

    I think by "Time Machine" you actually mean "Time Capsule"--TC is the hardware, TM is the software the does the backups to the hardware.
    As for your problem: If the Time Capsule is "off the network," as you suggest, how is your husband connecting to the internet? What kind of computer does he have? More information is better here, to help us solve your problem--the wires come into the house and then what?
    It kind of sounds like you might be describing "Internet Sharing":

  • The sound comes and goes with flash player

  • Sound comes and goes

    Why does my sound go off and sometime comes back on?

    If it happens randomly and with the total lack of information/details that you have provided, I don't think anybody here could have a clue why your sound comes and goes.
    Try resetting your iPad and see if that makes the sound more stable.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
