My Iphone 5 keeps dropping signal (no service) in good service areas?

Help my iphone 5 keeps dropping signal saying no service then after a while it gets service again, sometimes this can take up to an hour. Also if i toggle airplane mode it sometimes comes back or if i switch the phone on and off it comes back. This is happening in areas of good signal. Back in January my phone did get wet but i dryed it off and its been faultless ever since apart from this recent problem of no signal. I have an Genius appointment booked for this Thursday to see what they will do about it, will they just blame it on the water eventhough i have seen this problem time and time again on the Internet and the best way seems to replace the faulty phone.?    

Try restarting your iPhone. Press and hold the power and home button for 10 seconds and then turn your device back on. Otherwise, the place where you currently are may not have very good signal for ATT.

  • Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1update

    Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1 update, it worked perfectly before, my wifes 3gs connects fine and stays connected while my £400 paperweight losses connection, thinking of going back to nokia! Sort it out apple!

    If the "oh so Great Apple" were to monitor these forums then they might see all the problems
    that the people who have paid good money for their devices are having, i suppose they can do no wrong
    In your eyes, i just thought that if you pay a lot of money for a product that works fine, and you update
    It with a firmware update that they kept going on about how good it was and it can do this and it can
    Do that, then i think they should sort it out. I don't care if i "don't deserve to be an apple owner" or not,
    The fact is i paid my money and it should do what its suppose to do, i moved from Nokia to Apple because
    The N97 was crap and i put up with it for too long, and they didn't do anything to fix the bugs they just stopped
    Selling it and basically said tough s**t, so now this is happened i hoped Apple whould be better but they seem
    To be just like the rest.

  • 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 keeps dropping service

    I have just bought an iPhone 4s. It is my 4th day and it keeps dropping service. I have spoken to Vodafone, who say its the sim card. What can I do? Currently I am having to restart the phone for service to come back

    If Vodafone says it is the SIM card, you need to get a new micro-SIM card from Vodafone.

  • My iphone wont keep a signal and settings app crashs when i go to cellular

    Hi there im new to this i recently reset network settings on my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.4 since then my phone won't keep a signal it will say the operater name for 10 sec then lose 3G and just show signal bars then it says searching then it starts all over again I have tried different Sim card in the phone it will not make a call or receive i really need help because its my only cell phone and i have no way of contacting important business clients thanks in advance to anyone that can help. By the way when i go into settings app and press cellular the app crash's any help would be great

    Hi Patrick.mc,
    Did you end up fixing this issue? I had  IOS7.0.4 and first encountered this problem yesterday (TPG Australia) and it's really frustrating. Backed up the phone, erased/reset the phone and it went away (although the "cellular settings" now read "mobile settings") at Apple Genius Bar. They also replaced the battery and in the process, realized there were other problem with the phone so they gave me a new one as it is still under warranty. However, I then updated the software of the new phone to IOS7.1.1 and restored it from my backup. THE PROBLEM CAME BACK! ON THE NEW PHONE! The cellular settings is now mobile settings. Signal keeps dropping out and can never open the cellular settings. It just keeps crashing to Springboard.
    I ended up resetting the new phone, and just do a partial restore (manually transfer the photos back to the phone etc) and reinstalling apps back manually. Lost all other minor stuff. Let me know if anyone out there is encountering this.

  • My Airport keeps dropping signals!!

    I am losing my mind!!! We have an airport extreme base station connected to our Vonage router from the DSL modem. It was all working just fine and then one day it just started to drop the signal throughout the day. It does in and out but still shows that I have full signal in the airport bars in my top menu. I tried the internet without the airport and just plugged directly in from the DSL and it worked perfectly. I also tried it with the airport out from the DSL and leaving the vonage router out of the equation and it dropped signals . this tells me that it is the airport.
    In the house we also have two other airport extremes. they both extend the range of our network and one of them is used to connect to the stereo for itunes.
    My system all worked fine before the system update and now it doesn't. I am at a total loss and am exhausted from trying to deal with this anymore. is there a soloution floating around in here that i am simply too frazzled to see?

    I don't know if this is the solution or not, but I noticed after the 10.4.5 update, I could only see access points on channel 6.
    My own access point was on channel 1 and I couldn't see it or connect to it, even with the SSID being fully broadcast. I changed the access point (Linksys WAP54G) to channel 6 and I'm connected for over 2 days with a rock solid connection.
    I still do not see any access points in my neighborhood, including my second access point which is on channel 14 (Linksys WRT54G).
    Let me know if this works for you.

  • IPhone 3G WiFi Dropping, Signal Stength Still High, Extreme and DHCP?

    I've been having problems with my iPhone 3G WiFi (I had the same with my First Gen iPhone too), where it lost the ability to connect to the Internet, although the WiFi connection was still active and showing full signal.
    A reset of the Extreme and a various combination of resetting network settings / forgetting network / renewing DHCP Lease etc on the iPhone normally gets it going again, but not something you want to do every 30 minutes !
    My Extreme is connected to a NetGear DG824M ADSL Wireless router, that I used before I had the Extreme (bought for a longer range and the 'n' spec so quicker wi-fi moving files around in the house, to Apple TV etc).
    The NetGear's Wi-Fi is off, and the Extreme is working in Bridge Mode. I can get Internet connectivity with all devices with either the NetGear DHCP option on or off. I've tried tying DHCP addresses to the respective Mac addresses.
    I've read elsewhere that the Extreme should be serving DHCP for the rid the iPhone of this issue, but cannot set this up. I must admit to being a bit confused over the basics here.
    My ADSL Connection is with BT, and therefore I believe PPPoA (?) which requires a username / password.
    Any help in setting this up, and indeed if this could even be the issue with the iPhone dropping much appreciated. I've searched every forum posting here on on each Mac site for months without any joy !
    Thanks

    If the problem appears to be isolated to only your AirPort Extreme, in other words it doesn't happen while connected to other Wi-Fi networks, a "hard reset" is justified:
    To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then gently press and hold its tiny reset button. Don't apply any more force than required to feel a tactile click. Keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

  • New iPhone 3g continuously dropping signal strength for no reason...HELP

    Hello. My wife & I have been iPhone users since they few came out. Today I picked up our new 3g's and while her's always maintains a good, steady, strong signal...mine will continuously drop the signal down to one or no bars. This happens in areas where I've always had signal (ie: my house) & I compare her's to mine at the time & she continues to have full 5 bars. Any theories???

    Hi - I noticed that, yes, she had 3g "off" & I had 3g "on." Once I turned off my 3g I had full bars. Does this mean that 3g hinders the actual cell signal for receiving calls? Or when 3g is "on" do the bars then only show 3g signal & not the phones ability to receive calls? Thanks!

However I leave it down or put it in my pocket at times and the network has gone. There is nothing wrong with the sim as I tried it in another phone and the network did not drop once. Getting quite annoying anyone have this issue ?
