IPhone5 dropping calls

I upgraded my two iPhone 4's to the iPhone 5 a few weeks ago and we have been have huge problems with our incoming and outgoing call being dropped. I have called AT&T, reset our phones, and nothing seems to work. I still have one iPhone 4 and it get way better signal in all the places than my iPhone 5. And the calls aren't being dropped on that line. There seems to be many others having the same issues .... Has anyone found how to resolve the issue?

Dear
i did a restore via Itune 2 days back after backing up my device, than restored it from Itune and since i havent got any call drop, it s 2 early to assume it has solved the problem however it worth trying as there is nothing to loose but a half an hour of your time.

My iphone5s keeps dropping calls

Hi my new iPhone5s keeps dropping calls, no error message. My old iPhone 4s never drops calls, even at same location. Has anyone had this problem and is there a fix?

My iphone5s continually drops calls and has very poor sound for callers sooo disappointed compared with iPhone 4 from which I've just upgrade

I am so disappointed as my iPhone 5 s is very poor for calls and repeatedly drops calls. I've contacted Orange and done a reset to factory settings with no improvement.These calls are to landlines. My iphone4 was excellent in comparison . I've requested an Apple support call tomorrow - any other suggestions or similar experiences? Call bars are much lower too on this new phone and wifi fails too with frequent fail to connect to server messages. I so regret having this phone..

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

My phone keeps dropping calls what can i do to fix this?

My phone is dropping calls, and having trouble downloading apps over the 3G.

The first thing I'd try is resetting the phone. Press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose any data. The iPhone 5 also has a sleep button replacement program. If you have one with the bad button that may also be causing the problem.

Suddenly dropping calls

How do I report trouble with dropped calls, spotty service?
Used to get perfect service here at home and suddenly in the last 1-2 weeks I cannot talk to anyone when I am at home, it braeks up and drops calls.
I have the old iphone 4. Had great service from November 2012 until just now. No case on the phone, has not been dropped or anything like that.
Is this a tower issue? If so, how do I contact someone about that? Or is it an issue with my phone.

Same thing happening with me over the last few weeks. I also cannot send texts with pictures. The same thing is also happening with one of my neighbors who has an iphone5. Is there any help with this. I tried *228 and that did not work. Is this a network overload issue?

Dropping calls for the past 2 to 3 weeks

I don't know whats going on in our area, but both my wife's phone and my phone are dropping calls lately. We are using the phones in the house as we always have. We have never had these problems before. I also have an air card with verizon that is 4G that has seen loss in bandwith. That has an omniview antennae plugged into it which reaches the top of my house. I have reset both phones, 1 Iphone5 and the other not a smartphone. I refuse to purchase a network extender when the problem has just started recently. My buddy can bring his phone and aircard over my house and get full LTE!!!
We are looking at switching carriers if the service does not improve. Our home phone even has a hum in it. Replaced the phone and that wasn't the problem. Also tried a different jack.
Everything use to work so nice, now it's just frustrating trying to even make a call. My cell doesn't lose service anywhere else but my house. I don't want to have to go outside and climb a tree to make a call.
What has changed?

7.0.4 dropping calls

Anyone else experiencing dropped phone calls (not facetime) since this most recent update?

I purchased an iphone5 a week ago and it dropped calls steady(case or not)I could not even recieve calls.Took it back to place of purchase,they said its your sim card,I said dont think so,I was right,two completed calls.then same old same old.Took me 4hrs of online research till I found my cure(3 days and not one droppred call) so far. First I did a factory reset(after deleting all music,photos and downloaded content such as apps,ringtones,wallpapers etc) then a restart.Secondly I turned my time set/date/location to manual and set all three(found at settings-general-date and time) restart.Third I turned off caller id/call forward/call waitng(found at settings-phone) restart.Fourth I turned off passcode and screen lock(found at settings-general) restart.Fifth I turned all my push notifications off(found at setting-notification center) restart and so far so good.I did turn my caller id back on and so far so good.It is definetely a software issue and not a hardware problem.It seems they fixed one set of dropped calls to create a different set of dropped call issues.They seem to have created a conflict between to seperate peices of software programs,which interferes with the phone keeping signal.Well I hope this helps someone else out,and I will update once a week to let everyone know how it is going with this possible solution.

Increased in Dropped calls

I was recently May 2014 upgraded to Iphone5 by the insurance company, due to 4s issue. Since then I have experienced a large number of dropped calls. As recently as last week I had 8 dropped calls in one phone call. I've had more dropped calls in the last two months then I have had the entire 11 years that I have been with verizon. This issue is very irritating and I am truly considering finding another carrier. I have tired all the factory resets that have been suggested on line with no relief. Most of my dropped calls happen within my home, where the phone consistently bounces from the LTE to 1X network. I never has this issue within my home with the previous phones. I have lived in the same house for the last 4 yrs. Has there been a solution found for this issue?

I'm sorry to learn of the service issues you are having with your phone Nette2! You mentioned that you have done factory reset and the issues continue. Try resetting the connection to the network and test: power off>remove SIM card for one minute>insert SIM card>power on. If issues continue try replacing the SIM card at any Verizon Wireless store (free) http://bit.ly/3SdsA and test.

4.3.2 iPhone upgrade and dropped calls.

Since upgrading to the 4.3.2 OS three days ago, I've been experiencing numerous dropped calls on the order of one every minute. Calls linger in limbo before connecting and then drop. Antena signal reads 3 bars. I'm missing calls too. I live in the same area and have NEVER had a problem with dropped calls until this update and it is really causing problems. Why? Is the phone failing? Is this an update problem? Is this a network problem? Is anyone else experiencing this?

I am experiencing the same issue here in Germany, Network is T-Mobile.
Since upgrade to 4.3.2 I have dropped calls regularly with my iPhone4!!
This is getting more and more annoying.
What happens is: I am starting a call or am receiving a call. The call stays up for 1-5 minutes. During that time (randomly differs from 30 seconds to 5 minutes) all of a sudden the person on the other side does not hear me anymore! I am still able to hear him/her! After around 5-10 seconds after that happening, the connection is lost/cancelled. This is happening independently of the amount of bars, meaning it does not matter whether I am having 5, 3 or just one bar.
Please Apple solve this!! I cannot use my phone anymore the way it is supposed to work! Never had this issue before the upgrade in the same places - in fact, before the upgrade, I did not experience ANY dropped call whatsoever!!
BTW: I tried reboot, reset of all settings, backup, etc. - no positive effect.

Dropped calls and no service in my house...why am I even paying a phone bill?

I've been a Verizon customer for probably around 6 or 7 years now. I've had plenty of different devices and was always happy with my phone. A few years ago, service started to get horrible in my house. I would barely get service and my phone would drop calls. I have spent hours over the past 2 years on the phone with reps. Some were very helpful, and some were very frustrating. I have put in service tickets and even changed out my phone to try to get better service. Let me also note that AT&T customers get perfect service inside of my house. I don't even want to hear the excuse that Verizon doesn't guarantee service inside of a building due to building materials. The last time I checked, I didn't rebuild my house in the past few years with new materials. I use my cell phone for business when I'm at home, so it is extremely important that it works inside my house. I put my most recent service ticket in almost 2 weeks ago and there is STILL no resolution. I also won't accept if the only resolution is me buying a network extender.. I'd rather pay an early termination fee and leave before I'd ever spend money on another Verizon device. I have had 2 reps in the past week tell me that they would call me back and I never hear anything. I also have been told that they would resolve it by a certain date, only to find out that now they are saying it's going to stay open until they can figure it out. I rely on my phone for work now more than ever since I recently starting working from home, so how can I accept the fact that I am waiting around and paying for a phone that doesn't work when I need it the most? For all of my trouble, they offered me a $20 credit on my account. I shouldn't even use the word "offered" because I was the one who mentioned that I should be reimbursed for my time. I'm so sick of wasting my time on the phone and I am truly disgusted with Verizon. As a long time customer who has spent thousands of dollars over the year paying for Verizon service, I would expect to be treated much better than this.

I am not in the same boat, Verizon works absolutely everywhere I go and I am super happy with the service. If the service started not working however, and I got no resolve, I would just cancel it and switch providers. No point in paying for service you can't use, especially where you live.

IPhone 4: Blank text messages, dropped calls, slow Internet connection

I thought I was going to be so happy with the iPhone 4 but I am very dissatisfied... Every time I am on the phone the call drops, called AT&T and they can't help and transfer me to apple, still no answer from both parties. I could not believe that they said to use DUCKTAPE.... Are they being serious??????
Also, when I send a text message, most of the time the person receiving the text says it is blank. Has anyone else experiencing this problem?

I just bought a couple of iphone 4's last week (one for my wife and one for me). After two days of using it, my wife commented that her sister (who lives in Los Angeles, we live in Seattle) was receiving "some" messages blank. Originally I thought it was related to my sister in law being on a T-mobile network or just because she was using a different phone.
However, last night, a friend mentioned exactly the same thing. Out of three text messages I've sent, two came in blank, no text.
My theory: We both text in English and Spanish, therefore we have two keyboards loaded on the iphone, so we can switch easily. I have a feeling the special characters in the spanish language is what deters people with other phones/different network to receive them properly. I will switch my keyboard back to English only and post my results.

My phone is dropping calls, doesn't ring all the time-goes directly to voice mail, do no recieve alert on when a text is recieved

1-My phone does not ring all the time upon recieving an incoming call, it goes directly to voice mail.
2- Not recieving alert tone upon recieving a text message.
3- Dropping calls also

We have the same problem widespread in our company with iPhone 4's and 5's:
- Fails to establish the call, dials but nothing happens
- Drops the call for no reason even though signal strength is good
- Recevie text alerts to notify of voicemail when the handset has not rung nor does it show missed calls
We migrated someone to a Samsung Galaxy S4 for a month and all these issues went away. Nothing to do with alert tones turned down or faulty silent switches.

Repeated dropped calls...again :-(

Lately, I've been experiencing a high number of dropped calls. I have had this happen in the past, and the agent asked me to call (I believe) *52-but seeing as though I have forgotten the * code, I didn't want to do anything else to further jeopardize my service. But service has been getting worse lately with all the dropped calls, on 2 of 2 lines I have. And , sometimes, when I get through, (separate issue lately) either I can hear the other party good and they cant hear me or vice versa and yes, I have tried restarting the phones as I was told to do when I first brought this to Verizon's' attention; but that seems to be only a quick fix. Yesterday, during a conversation with my mother, the call was lost. I looked at the screen and it said no signal, then no sim, them 5 of 5 bars, all within seconds.

I would start by visiting a VZW corporate store and getting them to change your SIM card.

Iphone 5s lost LTE, 4g, weak signal. dropped calls after upgrading to IOS 8.1

i recently upgraded my iphone 5s to IOS 8.1 , after the upgrade i lost LTE and 4g, connectivity and stuck to 3g, i observed that my phone's got weker signal than before, i have intermittent signal during calls, and dropped calls. i did go to my service provider but they cant figure it out too, because i'm in an area which has a very good LTE signal and i only got 3g. so i use the apple support chat and i did all the tips and software restoration, i even restore my iphone twice as a new phone but got no good result. i hope apple inc. should issue first a warning on their softaware release updates. i'm so frustrated with my IOS device which i'm so proud.

Hi Restore Back to Factory Settings over your WiFi Go to Settings iCloud check last backup. Since ios 7 when you put your iPhone or charge it Automatically backs up to iCloud After Restore just use same Apple ID Then you will get your Apps & data back. Cheers Brian
