Issue with iPhone 5 (AT&T) when reconnecting to LTE.

I recieved my iPhone 5 (on AT&T) a few days ago and have noted an issue with the LTE connection when you try to reconnect after loosing my signal.
In the morning, for example, I will have a good LTE connection, then I go to work where the cell signal is fairly spotty, at best, in the building. I will notice my signal switch to Edge (not even 3G...but Edge, of all things). Then when I leave work the phone won't reconnect to LTE, even after toggling the LTE and cellular data on and off. It just sits on Edge and won't even load my email. I have to restart my phone to get a connection again.
Has anyone else had this problem? I hope it's just a software issue that can be fixed with a future (hopefully a near future) update.
(And don't go using the "AT&T is horrible" argument. I have a good number of friends would would say the same of Verizon. It's a weak argument...like playing the "race card" in a debate.)

After talking to an Apple rep, I first tried reset teh network settings, but that didn't have any effect. Then I went and completely reset the phone to factory spec and restored the phone...which seems to have done the trick. Now I'm getting and holding a strong 4G connection in the stockroom that previously completely killed my signal.

  • Im having issues with iphone 5. When i updated to ios7 keeps telling me there is no sim card detected . Please help thanks!

    Need help asap

    I would try poping the sim card out and then putting it back in. Therer is a small hole in the side just stick a pin in it and pop the try out and slide it back in. If that doesnt work back your device up and then restore it. If that still doesnt work go to your phone comany.

  • My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. Any tips?

    My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then.  Is there a way to fix this?

    I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen.  Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

    Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
    When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
    I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
    If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
    I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
    This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
    The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

  • Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet

    Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet. The 2wire will keep resetting. When I connect my macbook pro via ethernet to the 2wire all is ok, but as soon as i connect the power pc. . . .reset. I have emailed 2wire support. They recommended using a different patch cable. Tried that.. .. anyone else having this issue???? Any help would be appreciated. . .

    Search the discussions for issues with 2wire dsl routers. This has come up before in a discussion I've been involved with, but probably not to do with the MDD. I do remember it being a design issue with the router, something that was done to it before dispatch.
    Let us know if you can't find it and we'll have a look.
    If you afford it, bin the 2wire and go buy something decent like a Netgear.

  • I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect honda CRV

    I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect to my honda CRV

    Don't know if you could consider this an Apple issue. I know you are probably frustrated, and I am not defending Apple here, just saying that the iPhone does not update to support individual automobiles, the automobile manufactures update to support the Bluetooth profiles.The iPhone has the latest Bluetooth stack and supports a number of things. Problems generally revolve around the manufacturer not supporting the lastest Bluetooth version and have to update their systems. Check with Honda, they are probably aware of this, and if you search the forum, you will find a number of posts regarding the CR-V.

  • Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5?

    Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5? Speakerphone works but not the mic, on phone calls and memos.
    Took it to local Genius campus and after taking off the back screen and case, they blew air into the mica and it worked for about 20 mins.
    I can't have a ready can of air around every time the mic goes out.
    Anyone else had similar issues?

    I am having a similar problem. I had the iPhone 5 delivered yesterday. On most of the calls I tried, the person on the other end could hear me just fine on speakerphone, but not on the regular mic. It was garbled, or I would cut in and out. I could always hear the other person clearly.
    I just got back from a Genius Bar appointment where they gave me an entirely new phone. The issue exists on this one also, though now it seems like the audio is more muffled than garbled or spotty. Again, speakerphone works, and I can hear the other person clearly.
    I had originally restored backup from my 3GS, but before I went to the Genius Bar I restored to factory settings just to be sure it wasn't a software issue (it wasn't, apparently). I did not restore from the old phone for this new handset either.
    Thanks for any suggestions...frustrating, for sure!

  • Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

    Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

    Not sure why you would be led to believe that has anything to do with storage.
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Bluetooth buggy issues with iphone 5s after ios 8 upgrade

    I am having issues with my Handsfreelink in my 2013 Honda Pilot after the ios 8 upgrade.Basically, music works the phone does not. 
    What I have tried:
    1) Hard reset
    2) deleted and re-setup all bluetooth settings on both phone and car
    I suspect this is a bug in ios8 that needs to be addressed. On a sidenote I am also unable to plug my phone into the USB port on the car, now says unsupported.

    The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback.  I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
    I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6.  However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically.  I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car.  Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device.  So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it.  YMMV

  • Apple TV buffering issues with iPhone 4s and iPad 2

    Hi all,
    I just got me an Apple TV 2nd gen (yeah, I know, ordered 2 days before the presentation of the new one). So far so good, the device is up and running, connects just fine to my Airport Express router and all.
    However, if I try to stream a video from my iPad (2) or my iPhone (4S), the results are quite horriffic. The iPad videos would buffer for a very long time before they start and then quite fast after that the buffering problems restart. It's pretty impossible to play a video fluently of more than 20 seconds. If I'd try from my iPhone it's even worse with videos being 1080p, the thing just never plays, eventually the preloading process stops on the mirroring mode is cut.
    I have to point out, all my devices are in the same room (WiFi) so the signal is the best it can be.
    This is honestly quite surprising AND disappointing to be honest, given I bought the device mostly for that, so I can stream videos from my phone and pad.
    Tell me, am I doing something wrong, or the video streaming over those devices is just a marketing gimmick with nothing real behind it?
    Would it matter if I change my router from Airport express to Airport extreme?
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
    Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
    and plays properly.
    Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
    Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
    I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
    Thanks again.

  • Home Sharing issues with iPhone 6 Plus

    Hi guys,
    I'm having problems with streaming music and video on my iPhone 6 plus from my Macbook Pro (mid 2010 model) using iTunes' Home Sharing . I am able to stream without any issues using my iPhone 4S and my Apple TV, however.
    I am using iTunes version 12.0.1.26, iOS 8.1.2, and OSX 10.9.5.
    Using my 6 plus, I am able to connect to my iTunes library, both music and video. Album art shows up for music but no cover art for the videos. So, all in all, I am able to see the contents of my library.
    However, when I try to play songs, a couple things may happen. First, nothing plays for about 10 seconds; then a second or two of the song plays followed by silence again, appearing as if it's buffering. Second thing that may happen is that a second or two plays immediately followed by silence. If I press next to play the next song, what usually happens is that nothing plays, although the song title does appear.
    As seen in this video, I don't have any issues with my WIFI connection or internet speed, as demonstrated using the iPhone 4S and Apple TV.
    I have no clue as to why this is happening.
    Hopefully someone could shed some light with this issue. Please feel free to comment. I'm open to and appreciate any suggestions while Apple tries to find a solution. Thanks.

    UPDATE
    So, after working with the guys at Apple, they we were to provide a solution.  Now I have no problems using Home Sharing with my iPhone 6 Plus!!!
    (I should add that I have the Linksys Advanced Dual-Band N Router (E2500))
    The issue was fixed by giving one of the wi-fi channels a different name, thus splitting the channels into 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.  Then, I connected my iPhone to one channel (2.4 GHz) and my MacBook Pro to the other channel (5GHz).  In this configuration, I have had no issues streaming my music and video.
    It seems that the problem is some kind of interference between both devices when using the same channel (i.e., when both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channel share the same name).

  • Issues with Catalogs in Organiser when photos on hard disk other than C:

    Hello Folks;
    I face the following issue with PSE7 :
    the Catalog function does not work when I try to import pictures located on any other hard disk different from C: disk.
    In other words, the following happens :
    1) in the Organiser, I create a new Catalog (on C: disk or on F: disk)
    2) I import pictures located in a directory on disk F:
    3) when I try to review the "cataloged" images one by one  , PSE7 gives the message that he has lost the connection to the images and a window opens asking to RECONNECT the files;
    4) I then browse to the right directory , find the files and try to reconnect  back to the original image (that was not moved to another place nor renamed !) the system does not reconnect te picture with the catalog
    5) in short : PSE7 is unusable when pictures are not located on C: disk
    I contacted the support (since I ahve a legal version , yes !) but they seem to consider this normal ; catalog and pictures must be on the same disk drive they told me . Unbelievable !
    This surprises me because : with PSE4 (my former version) , this worked withiout any problem !
    I consider this as a ral software bug, isn't it ?
    I am still in touch with Adobe's support but it takes time .. and still no solution ..
    Did someone face the same issue ? Suffering in group is less painfull as anyone knows .. ;-)
    Any solution at sight ?  ;-)
    Thanks a lot for any help on this, I am totally stuck here ... !
    Claude

    THANKS a lot dj-paige   ... !!!
    Thanks to the psedbtool (thanks  john rellis too  !) .. I could diagnose the problem : my two disk drives C: and F: had the same serial number .
    And even better :  I could SOLVE the problem .
    I changed the volumeid of disk F:  asexplained in john rellis's documentation .. and now PSE7's Catalog works fine !!
    (I am still waiting for a decent answer from Adobe's suuport .. it's a shame that they do not do !).
    THANKS again dj-paige  for the support received ... !!!
    I wish all problems in life could be solved as easily as this one !!!

  • Sync issues with iPhone 6 Plus and iTunes

    I'm having issues with syncing my iPhone and iTunes.
    I am running: Mavericks 10.9.3 | iTunes 11.4 | iOS 8.0.2
    Every time I try to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with iTunes, the sync process gets stuck on step 5 of 5 (waiting for changes to be applied).  The longest this has occurred for is 2hrs.  After this time I have stopped the sync and ejected my iPhone.
    I had another issue with my phone when playing music.  When going to play music, I was given the error message saying that the song could not be found.  I connected my iPhone to iTunes and went to the tab in summery page, 'on this iPhone'.  I found the song and could see that next to the song was a small what looked like dotted grey circle.  After Googling this, I found a video saying that if i was to remove all my music and then add it again, this should fix the problem with this song.  I did this and this was when the issue occurred again.
    I unticked the option to remove all music but the sync did not finish. So I cancelled the sync, ejected my iPhone and tried again.  This time, the summery page of my iPhone said there was no music on my iPhone and the 'on this iPhone'  tab, this all so said there was no music however, my music was still on my iPhone including the song that would not play.  All played ok.
    I have read lots in the Apple forums about lost of difference reason this may be happening.  Things like bugs in iOS 8, app updates being transferred during the sync process, the latest iTunes version has bugs and even a dodgy USB cable could cause it.  My iPod running iOS 5 syncs all ok but I get this problem as well on my iPad Air.
    I all so had this issue with my old iPhone 4S.  The problem occurred when running iOS 7 and 8 on the 4S.  When I had it on the 4S, I did a restore of the 4S 4 times and thought I had found the issue down too a dodgy app.  However, now that it has happened on my new iPhone and still not using that app, could this be an issue with my Mac/iTunes?
    I am in contact with Apple Care, but this is such a long process. 
    So if anybody could please offer any advice on this or steps to try to maybe solve the issue, it would be really helpful.   Or if anybody is experiencing the same problem, it would be good to know its not just my devices and Mac producing this sync problem.
    I will update my post with any information provided by Apple Care as and when I get it.
    Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.
    Mark. 

    Hi,
    Just wanted to updated my original post and give some more information on this issue that I'm having with my iOS devices running iOS 8.0.2 and iTunes 11.4.
    Firstly I just want to updated my details about what version of Mavericks I'm running.  I'm running 10.9.5 - I put the wrong version down in my original post.
    So over the last week, I have had a few phone calls with Apple Care an am dealing with a senior technical advisor about this issue.
    I have been given some instructions that I am currently working through to see if it solves the sync issue with iTunes and my iOS devices. 
    The Apple Care advisor has pointed out that a iTunes version issue with music that I have ripped to iTunes and the current iTunes version could be what is causing the problem.  For example, every song that I have purchased from iTunes since having an account, I was told are all exactly the same the same when it comes down the to data/information about that track/album that iTunes stores with the music but when it comes to music that I have added to iTunes myself from a CD,  this was added and encoded with the version of iTunes that was running at the time of adding the music.  So going through all the music that I added to iTunes over the last 10 years, you can imaging that there was lots of mixed version of iTunes linked to lots of different music.
    At the moment, I'm having to go through all my music and find any that I have added and create a new ACC version of that music and delete the old version.  However, due to the amount of music that I have, this is going to take a long time.  When I was on the phone to the Apple Care advisor, we did several albums as a test and they all synced over to my iPhone.  This may just have been luck though at that time.
    Now, I'm not saying that this will solve the problem that I have with the sync issue but I am going to try it and see how I get on.  The only down side to this fix as far as I can see at the moment, is  that when it's all done, I think I will have to fully restore all my iOS devices to get music on to them.
    I will of course updated this topic when I have got through all my music and tried to sync my iOS devices.
    Thank you all for your comments.

  • Issue with Reminders not working when setting it to arrive or leave a location in iOS7.

    Hi all,
       Tried everything: Called support and reset All setting.  Made sure all "location settings" are set.  Restored via iTunes as a new phone, checked all setting again, set a reminder to remind me to get gas when I leave my home, and it never reminded me.  Also, doesn't remind when I arrive at a location.  I have tried this with my wifes phone (iPhone 5) and my daughters (iPhone 4) all running iOS7 and it doesn't work.  I never had this issue with iOS6. All other locations services like GPS, maps, & weather working fine.  I strongly believe it's a iOS7 bug. Has anyone else experianced this issue?

    In case you haven't seen this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5329723
    Jump to page 5. There is a solution by ben812 that initially worked for me, but after restarting my phone I was back to square one.
    I visited the local Genius Bar, and they claim they have not heard of this problem. Whether that is true or not, they know now. One of the employees confirmed that WiFi would need to be on, as the location service checks it first (before using GPS). Seems like a bug, but for now having WiFi on and leaving Reminders running in the background seems to solve the issue.
    I hope Cupertino addresses this in an upcoming iOS release.
