Just got 3g-so now I get lots of dropped calls?
So I live in a fairly rural area of Iowa, a college town of about 50,000. I just got 3g with At&t a few weeks ago. Ever since then, I have been experiencing some random dropped calls. When the other party tried to call back, they get my voicemail after a couple of rings or a "this number has been disconnected" greeting. I find it odd that just because I got 3g, I now get dropped calls. That has never been an issue for me before.
Also, the first several minutes I am on google maps or another location based app, it says I am over 70 miles away. This only occurs on 3g too. THe problem eventually corrects itself. At&t has been looking into this issue, but anymore insight as to why might be good to know.
Thanks
AT&T coverage maps show 3G coverage in Iowa in only Cedar Rapids, Davenport, & Des Moines. http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/#?type=voice&3g=t&lat=42.022865811088 3&lon=-93.62675224438676&sci=10
You will get better service if you turn 3G off. Go Settings > General > Network > 3G > OFF.

My new (2 months old) 5s fingerprint recognition sensor does not work. It worked well when I first got it but now to get it to work I have to redo my fingerprints every few days, which completely negates the convenience and cost of the phone. I have tried all the tips and they help a little but it always stops working and I have to redo my fingerprints. Does Apple read these comments? Is there an app that might help?
Apple does not read here.
If you want Apple to know send feedback
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
I also have iPhone 5s on day one and it's working since. When it's not registering, I just clean the Home button and it works straight away.
Did you try when registering fingerprint using all angles? It should learn the more you use it.
Did you clean the sensor with a soft cloth?

Just got iPhone 4S, people unable to hear me during calls but I can hear them? Is it repairable or do I need to take to apple store to get new one?
Hi, Laura.
There are some troubleshooting steps that we can process prior to opting for a repair. If you do have a protective film on your device make sure that is removed and test to see if the behavior persists. Below, I have attached an article that goes over some basic troubleshooting steps. After all steps are processed and the issue persists, we can service your unit at your local Apple Retail Store. You can schedule an appointment buy clicking this link http://www.apple.com/retail/.

I get lots of missed calls on my iPhone 5. Caller's first attempt goes straight to my voicemail but the second attempt gets through. I have proved this with my home landline too. Any ideas?
First thing you need to check is if you have do not disturb on to find this out got to settings-do not disturb and tap on it and turn it off this should work

My iphone 4 Carrier signal is very weak just shows one bar and often shows No Service followed by searching and again one signal bar I have had a lot of drop calls, I have tested the sim card on my Samsung Ace which shows full Signal strength I am on the latest iphone firmware 5.1.1 with 4.12.01 baseband I have tried resetting the iphone did o full restore twice. I guess there is something wrong with the iphone hardware? Has anyone had similar issues and how they fixed it?
Take the device to Apple or an Apple authorized service center and let them check it out.

Hi I bought a second hand ipod touch 4th generation it has a passcode on it I have tried to hold the on/off button and the home button for 20 sec but never goes to the plug and cord thing symbal I want to factory reset it my other I pod just got stolen a whole lot nicer one but dang this one was affordable please help thanks
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

Have just loaded iOS7 and now I cannot send or receive mail . Device message is : cannot open mail cannot connect with server. Any ideas?
Had the same problem. Deleted my account and readded it...still didn't work. Had a call with Apple, and they couldn't figure out why the Exchange server wouldn't work. They had me set up mail through Gmail, and that finally worked. There must be a bug they need to fix for the Exchange Server.

This is really getting old, no help from Verizon. Service was great 2 years ago now it sucks, Constantly dropping calls, dead areas where there used to be fine. What is verison doing to help this???
I have an iphone 5s, my husband has a casio, my sister in law has a Samsung, my friends have various phones we are all experiencing the same thing – dropped calls, no service and it is outside as well as inside the house or the car. At our residence and along the drive to work or to the store. I don’t text much or use my data much so I am mostly concerned with the telephone service.

Iphone 3g just got ios 4, now locations not working
I am trying to use location services in maps for example and since i got ios 4 today, it tells me cannot determine your location. I have reset the network settings,then location settings,then reset all settings and still nothing. Everything else works great but this location feature wont work now.
Any ideas?There are two different "problems" here:
1. a more fine grained permissions framework where enabled restrictions or disabled location services prevets the use of location services in one, more or all applications.
To fix this problem: disable restrictions, allow location services for all or specific apps.
2. WiFi based location services in iOS 4 functions differently from earlier versions, giving a lower positioning accuracy. This results in location services giving less accurate readings in some locations, while other locations - that was OK before the upgrade, and works with SkyHooks site - rendering no positioning possible.
Other results of the new algorithm is that when used in locations with many access points the position of the device keeps jumping around and that the positioning works longer when moving out of the range of the access point used by the device to connect to the Internet.
As an example of the second problem I have the following readings:
Location A: WiFi connection to access point, access point and all neighboring access points are registred at SkyHook, all neighboring access points are out of range.
3.1.3: The exact location of the access point as registered at SkyHook ± 150 m.
4.0: 50 m away on the middle of the road ± 250 m.
Location B: WiFi connection to access point, access point and all neighboring access points are registred at SkyHook, one neighboring access points is also in range.
3.1.3: Appox 5m from device location ± 250 m.
4.0: Approx 10m from device location ± 80 m.
Location C: WiFi connection to access point, access point and a number of neighboring access points are registred at SkyHook, some neighboring access points in range.
3.1.3: Appox 0-50 m from device location ± 150 m.
4.0: Center of registered access points in range ± 150 m.
Location D: device moved out of range of access point, access point and a number of neighboring access points are registred at SkyHook, some neighboring access points in range.
3.1.3: Appox 0-50 m from device location ± 150 m.
4.0: Center of registered access points in range ± 250 m.
Location E: WiFi connection to access point, access point and a number of neighboring access points are registred at SkyHook, all neighboring access points are out of range.
3.1.3: The exact location of the access point as registered at SkyHook ± 150 m.
4.0: No position fix possible.
Location F: Device moved from location E until another access point registered at SkyHook comes into range:
3.1.3: The exact location of the access point as registered at SkyHook ± 150 m.
4.0: Center of registered access points in neighborhood ± 250 m.
Location G: WiFi connection to an SSID provided by a number of access points in neighborhood using several different changing channels. Some access points registered at SkyHook, others not.
3.1.3: The exact location of the access point connected to as registered at SkyHook ± 150 m.
4.0: Center of registered access points in range ± 150 m. When channels change the algorithm get confused and the location starts jumping around resulting in the location ending up up to 500 m from device ± 250 m.
Apart from moving, there does not appear to be a fix for the second problem. You have to wait for Apple or the location service provider(s) to fix the problem - note: this may take some time - or we could be lucky within the near future.
The old algorithm appear to be more focused on the access point connected to, while the new algorithm apparently focuses more on the neighborhood. It appears to ignore signal strength, and the possibility that all other access points in the neighborhood may be out of range (in this case because the access point in question had been optimised for maximum bandwidth and minimal interference).
Conclusion: the new algorithm apparently only works in areas with many SkyHook registrations if the device is moved out of range of the access point is was connected to, or if the ranges of neighboring access points overlap. -
My sons just bought me an ipad mini especially so that I could check a certain website on which I sign up for jobs throughout the day. The website is updated constantly throughout the day with new jobs and the status of the jobs I already have accepted and worked on. (It shows the percentage of the job that has been done.) It worked fine only the first time I logged on with the mini. Since then (yesterday,) when I check the website, it lets me log in, but I only see the same exact information that was there the first time I went to the website using the mini. It seems to be 'frozen' on that particular first look. It doesn't update at all.
I know it is not updating because I have also been checking with my notebook computer and with the notebook, the website is up to date.
Maybe its Safari?
I had the same problem when I used a friend's iPad.
I wonder if there is a setting or something that I could change to allow the website to update to the time I check it.
If not, then the ipad mini is a terrible disappointment and I would like to return it.
If you can help me, I would be extremely grateful.

Just upgraded to Leopard now I get constant kernal panics!
I just upgraded my G4 PPC to 10.5.8. I can do things okay on my computer for a while then it does the kernal panic. All updates have been done except the prokit 5 one (I use logic and the last upgrade messed with it). Could this be causing the issue? Here is the info. I hope someone can help so I can start doing more recording!

Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your currently installed OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Now, you did not indicate if this upgrade to 10.5.8 was from an earlier version of Leopard or if you first upgraded to Leopard then to 10.5.8 using the combo updater. I'm assuming the former, so after you've done the above repairs reinstall the 10.5.8 Combo Updater. If you did not use a Combo Updater, then you can download it from support.apple.com/downloads/.
If the above doesn't help then I would suggest reinstalling OS X as follows:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
And, if the above doesn't help start looking at the probability of bad RAM. -
Hi all, I received my PS4 from {removed per forum guidelines}. It's my first I have owned since a SNES, although I did play a fair bit of PS2 at Uni.
Anyhow, what games are good (2 player ideally) what should i wait for, Whats this internet subscription thing, can I play online and so on... i have seen ther eis a subscription charge?
Thanks!"Last of Us: Remastered" is a must own.
'Infamous Second Son" with its stand alone DLC "Infamous:First Light" is also a great game.
'Killzone Shadow Fall" is a great continuation of the series
"Little Big Planet 3" is a great party game, its not just for kids.
"Bloodborne" if you enjoy DarkSoul style games you will love this one aswell.
"Uncharted Remastered and Uncharted 4" Coming soon so look out for those.
These are some of the retail games I can think of but their are others only available on the PSN Store.
"The Order 1886" is an interesting concept but not worth more than a $20 purchase at most. Even better just rent it. You can beat it on the hardest setting in under one day.
"Warframe" Space-ninjas is the best way to describe the game and I personally backed the game back in alpha before it was available on PS4.
Its free to try so give it a shot. You don't have to pay any money to enjoy it. Money is solely for cosmetics and for shortcuts.
Posted this on previous post with similar question.
As for the subscription, "PS Plus," it is required to play online for non free-2-play games. If I remember correctly that's all you need it for; netflix, crunchyroll, spotify and other services don't require it.
The benefits of having it is free games every month that you get to keep playing as long as you have an active subsription. You also receive discounts on games, dlc and movies. -
