My iPhone 4S is dropping many calls (sometimes 5 times in one call)

I have never had this problem with an iphone, but it seems to drop calls often since I have started using the 4S. This happens on both mine and my wife's 4S. we have seen the echo problem here and there but not as bad as it dropping the whole call. not sure if it is a hardware or software issue or an at&t thing (to which we really havent had an issue with previous models)

nope...I am from SIngapore and I get this often since the past two days...I think this a phone issue
My nokia on the same network works well without any issues. The other problem is that this phone also drops 3G connectivity like its hot...I only get back the connectivity after restarting the phone

HT201401 my iphone 4 keeps dropping phone calls what do i do

My ihone keeps dropping calls what do i do

During call do not touch the black antenna band of the case on the lower left side (when you look at front of iPhone). Death Grip position. In Settings App turn ON 3G, tap Settings App > General > Network > Enable 3G > ON.

After last OS update, my iPhone 4 is dropping more calls or I can hear the other person but they can't hear me

My signal (ATT) on my iPhone 4 seems to have gotten worse since the last OS update. In addition, frequently during a conversation, we can initially hear one another then they stop hearing me speak although I can hear them perfectly clear. Is this happening to anyone else? Is there anything I can do to correct. The problem seems to be getting considerably worse.

I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 4 to iOS 7 now they both drop all my contents all my notes go missing I keep having to turn it off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call and the scroll rarely works is there anything I can do?

I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 now my phone constantly deletes all my contacts and takes days to download them from my iCloud again, constantly needs to be turned off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call, the scroll rarely works, is there anything I can do, the apple tech told me it was something I'd just have to get used to, my phone worked perfectly before the update.

Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

My 4S iphone keeps trying to turn off during phone calls and drops the calls. Sometimes I have to call back 3-4 times to finish a conversation.

While talking on my iphone, the phone tries to turn itself off. Not just once, but continuous, and not just dropping the call, but actually tries to turn itself off.

Well, then I'm glad this is most probably not a hardware issue - at least not an exceptional, maybe defect of all? -. This seems to be a good idea, because 2G will nearly everywhere available, so phone calls are not likely to drop at all. I'm just a bit confused, because they promised intelligent switch even during calls. For me that means that if the better, faster connection is available, then it uses that, and if it wouldn't be, then it switches to the slower one.
Anyways, thanks for your reply. I guess it's a "just get used to it" issue.

Has nothing to do with the SIM or master reset. This has been done to my phone. The SIM once and the factory reset many times over. You all just sold us a bad piece of equipment and have us by the tail with our contracts so none of us can get a new phone without paying full price or re-upping our contract. I just got off the phone last night with your high up tech people (you know, the hidden number we get once we tear into your support people enough), they went into my phone again and still didn't find anything wrong. I about got fired from my job for not getting my calls and texts. The BBB has now been contacted, and I feel your end should shore this up for all of us!

In the past month or so my iPhone 5 battery is dying in hours, whereas it used to last all day at least. Also, I am getting constant "message send failures" when texting and frequent dropped phone calls.

Just recently my Iphone 5 battery is dying in a just a few hours, it used to last all day or more. I'm not doing anything different with it, although I have started shutting down apps etc. to conserve battery. I get constant "message send failures and frequently dropped phone calls.

My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

I have an iphone that i have been waiting for 50 days for orange to unlock and keep getting fobbed off with promises to sort it out, i have made so many calls and getting really frustrated now. Does anyone know what the procedure is for an unlock

I have an iphone that is locked to orange and have been waiting over 50 days now for it to be unlocked and keep getting fobbed off with promises to sort it out. I dont know how many calls have been made and am getting really frustrated now. Does anyone know how apple are involved with the unlock as im jst not getting any answers from orange and they just keep saying they dont know why its takng so long

If it is Orange Uk then no surprises
They locked it originally and it is their gift to unlock ....usually in their own time.
This is how it should work

How many calls are held in the call log for the iPhone 3g?

How many calls are held in the call log for the iPhone 3g?

Creating a separate CSQ is the way to do it. Keep in mind that depending on your error handling, a single request could still generate more than one call into the CSQ. You would want to look at the CCDR table for the call ID or write the ImplementationID into one of the Enterprise Data variables that gets stored to the DBA to act as a UID.

Hi, My Iphone 5S is found many times in call-forwarded mode.

Hi, My Iphone 5S is found many times in call-forwarded mode. When I go to settings, I see that it is disabled. Many of my friends say that when they try to reach me, the call gets forwarded. I can also see the icon (Arrow pointing upwards) on the top middle of my device's home screen. How do I get it disabled? Please help...

Iphone 4 constantly dropping calls or "call failed"

I've been having nothing but trouble the past couple weeks with dropping calls or getting the "failed call" showing up when trying to make a call. It happens more times than not and i spoke with Apple today and was told that after you try all the resets and restore options it should be fine. If that doesn't work, its more than likely a SIM card issue and needs to be cleaned or replaced. I did all the restore and backup and all the other garbage they advised me to do, and still did not work. Took the SIM card out and im not sure if its supposed to sparkle in the light, but its pretty **** clean. Re-inserted it, and still dropping calls or "call failed". Next option is getting a new SIM card tomorrow and i'll update what i find out.
Previously, in July, some moron from Canada was beaking how its a service issue and he's on Rogers network, blah blah blah and he's never dropped a call and its superior to AT-T and mentioned something about how all the ppl would have no trouble if they were on the Rogers network.
Well i'm from Canada and work with 2 other ppl, surprise, from Canada who are having the same problem with the iphone 4........its not a network thing whatsoever, because ppl on Telus and Rogers are having the same problem. Im assuming he was from Toronto where the center of the universe is and he was basically just being an idiot, so for that moron, i apologize to ALL who are having issues with the iphone 4 and hopefully Apple gets their act together and solves this issue!!

Hey everyone, I think I finally got the solution for this. It appears to be a NETWORK ISSUE with the phone provider. I am a Telus subscriber and after speaking to a cool tech guy from Calgary named "Corey", he performed the following task:
He told me he had to reset 4 settings on the network for my account. A few of which were under something called "STF viewer" "PLMN" and "PRL"...
Aftewards, I had to go to my iphone: General > Reset > Reset network settings
I am now able to complete phone calls (and apparently my reception sounds better to my call recipients/callers too). The problems is not related to a "faulty device" or "something" you did... If the problem happens again, I'll call my provider and have them investigate the ticket further as it could be a bigger network issue (with GSM) but chances are it just requires a simply settings reset on the backend of your provider's data support team.
After doing the reset, all I had to do was reconfigure my wifi password. No other settings were lost. (and more importantly, I didn't have to re-restore my iphone, didn't have to go to Apple and sound like one of those "iPhone 4 vs HTC cartoon characters" and didn't have to yell like a child to anyone. Just be cool when you call your provider's tech people, these guys are good hard working people and will help you and will have a better chance at success if they empathize with you and don't feel annoyed by you (I'm in IT, I know how it is).
I was also told that if I had to call back and if they had to reinvestigate, the next steps would probably involve having my SIM card changed but based on the previous tech's experience, it would be highly unlikely. I will update you further should I encounter any further issues. Just don't be hating on the iPhone 4 as most people do coz it is a sweet device if you can understand the tech specs behind the underlying issues.
Hope this helps you guys and anyone else who got frustrated by this problem!

HELP!! My iphone 6 keeps dropping calls and I have a verizon extender

Hi,
My iPhone 6 my Carrier is Verizon my iPhone 6 has been dropping calls I think it’s only when I’m home and also we have a cellphone booster aka Verizon Extender and it does connect to that also but when someone calls me it connects then drops right away and then I try right away to call them back and then the call goes though. I have tried a hard reset on my iPhone 6 I have tried just by turning on and off the airplane mode and I have tried resetting the network settings which I just did. I thought of maybe doing the part when you take your sim card out and put that back in but I have not done that yet! I don't know what to do if this keeps happing it is really annoying! Can you please help me! Thanks Also I have looked online of how to fix it but have not come up with anything yet
How do I stop my iPhone 6 from dropping calls?
Also
my iphone 6 keeps dropping calls and I have a verizon extender and it says that my iphone is on it but it is not working and I have either 2 or 3 LTE bars.
Thanks

Contact the carrier to troubleshoot the issue.

My iphone 4S made a humming sound then dropped my call..now my calls last a few second before being dropped.

My iphone 4S made a humming sound then dropped my call..now my calls last a few second before being dropped. What is the reason?

Thank you very much guys. Looking back on how I ended up in this situation in the first place, I started by google searching "apple support", clearly I was mistaken and ended up calling one of the google adverts instead of real apple support. My wholehearted apology goes out to apple whom obviously did not answer my phone call.
I belive that this is the advertised number that I called and the misleading ad that comes up when I google search apple support:
Call For Apple Support1 (866) 691 7793
apple.support.mytechhelp.com/
Get Professional Tech Support. Call Now.
Boy am I red in the face. These people are masquerading as genuine apple support people when clearly they are not. I think tonight I will call them back and simply scream vulgarities at them for as long as they stay on the line.
A good lesson has been learned by me and hopefully anyone reading this.
Get your support phone number from the apple website and not a google search.
Man do I feel dumb, although I would feel a lot dumber if I had bought into the pile of garbage these people were trying to feed me.
Apple I hope you litigate a cease and desist order on these people because they pretend to be the real deal. They did not even try to correct me when I called them apple support, nor did they properly identify the company that they are truly representing.

Is it possible to tell which side of a phone conversation drops the call?

Just curious, in helping me decide my iphone issues... I've had 3 or 4 dropped calls. Is there a way to distinguish if it's my iphone or someone else's phone dropping calls by the type of notification you get?
Sometimes it says "CALL FAILED" in big letters on the phone dialing screen (where the name of the caller is)
Other times it says "call failed" as a tiny alert -- like one you would get notifying of a text message.
Does one kind of notification mean my phone is dropping the call and the other kind mean the other person's phone is dropping the call?
And if so, which means which?
Anyone who can answer this, thank you in advance.

Hi dg299,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Yes, if the iPhone was dropped or if it has liquid damage, it have a hardware issue. Try the troubleshooting suggestions in the article linked below and setup service if those don’t resolve the issue.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Multi-Touch display not responding to touch
See this document for troubleshooting Multi-Touch display issues.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
I hope this helps.
