My iphone 3gs canno pick up a signal

I cannot pick up signal with my iphone 3gs although it will pick up the internet? help

The 1st phone I had from release day did that. I fought with it for a week, checked the forums, asked my questions and finally through in the towel, called Apple Care and initiated a Repair Ticket...Within 48 hours, I had a new phone. The loaner and new phone connected instantly.
I recommend the same!
Good Luck!

Why does iphone not always pick up signal in new city?

I just flew to Vegas, Phoenix and Atlanta. Each time, iphone did not acquire signal on landing for minutes (at least), but immediately picked it up when I powered down and powered back on. What is the technical reason for this, and why does turning the phone off and on help to re-establish connection? I realize this issue is not unique to iphones, but I've never understood why it happens.

palmerimoots,
Whether or not GSM signals from any cellular phone will cause a plan to crash is not the point. The point is the FAA requires devices that have not been certified by the FAA not radiate in any radio frequency. Airplane mode was designed to comply with those rules and regulations. I don't have confirmation, but comparing my battery life on a trip this last week to my mothers to back in late July the iPhone seemed to have better battery life in a No Service area. I personally suspect that after being in a No Service area for a while the iPhone will stop searching as frequently. When you power off the iPhone or put it in Airplane mode for a few minutes and then come out of Airplane mode the iPhone will search for signal.
There is a limited waiver in place for WiFi for some airlines that are experimenting with offering WiFi, but that does not extend to the GSM frequencies.
Hope this helps,

My iPad 2 has stopped picking up mobile network signals once it moves out of a WIFI zone. Please advise

My IPad2 has stopped picking up mobile network signals once it moves out of a WIFI Zone. any possible reason?

Unbelievable.
After taking all the time to write and post that, I then switched "airplane mode" on and off again and it started picking up the 3G signal fine.
I had read a couple of threads about Ipads / Iphones "locking" onto GPRS and this being the only way to switch them back, but I DEFINITELY tried this before the IOS 7 upgrade and it didn't help.
So was it just a coincidence this time or did the upgrade make a difference? No way of telling I suppose so no help if you're reading this looking for a solution. I can only keep an eye on it and see if this becomes a regular problem......

How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

Thanks for the tip. If only I could find somewhere where I did not lose the signal.
I am based in the United Kingdom. The carrier is Orange.
I lose the signal inside buildings and outside of buildings. It happens at work and at home. It happens in Centarl London in the open air and inside. It happens in small towns.. It happens in the countryside. It happens in motor cars. It happens in airports. It happens when the battery is fully charged, when it is half charged and when it's low on charge. It happens using the phone, when reading messages and when using the internet.
Hope this helps.

Why has my iphone stopped picking up my callendar via icloud

Why has my iphone stopped picking up the Outlook calendar on my PC via icloud?

Have you checked document and data syncing is enabled in settings > iCloud and iCloud is enabled in settings > Pages.
For future reference, you might also consider backing up documents created or edit on your mobile device by sharing a copy to iTunes.

My 3G S has stopped picking up the tower signal.

My 3G S running on iOS 6.1.6 has stopped picking up the tower signal. It drops from five bars to "searching" to "no service". No calls or texts can go out, and none can come in. All software is up-to-date. Is there a fix short of purchasing a new phone? Thanks.
ps- Hubby's little AT&T Pantech is working just fine.

Try a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.
or settings - general - reset - reset network settings.
If that doesn't work then contact your cell phone provider.

"I have a 5th generation time capsule. All of my wifi devices (iPhone, iPad, macbook) worked fine until the other day when everything but my laptop stopped receiving a wifi signal.

"I have a 5th generation airpot extreme. All of my wifi devices (iPhone, iPad, macbook) worked fine until the other day when everything but my laptop stopped receiving a wifi signal. I shut down my Mac, unplugged the modem, router, let sit for 10 seconds, started it up and 'presto' everything worked. Then yesterday all but the macbook stopped receiving wifi again. I tried the same scenario as the other day but nothing. I reset the airport extreme to factory settings and still nothing. Is the airport extreme not working?

If it was not working the Mac would not get a signal. Restart the IOS devices and reconnect to the network

My WiFi pick up the signal, but I can't do anything with internet.

I was browser the web the other day, and all the sudden everything stop loading, and after that I can't go to any site. any more. but as I check of the log, I doesn't see any problem. and I can tell the system do pick up the signal, but I just can't go online.
here is what I have check:

Can you ping one of google's IP addresses? for ex. 72.14.207.99 If you can you may want to check /etc/resolv.conf and see if your DNS IP is entered correctly.

IPhone Death Grip and Loss of Signal

There is NO doubt the new iPhone has "death grip" "loss of signal" issues. Including my new iPhone, there are 4 Verizon phones in my home. All 4 phones show 3 bars when laying on the counter. The iPhone consistently, everytime, drops to 1 bar when it is picked up and held in a normal position. The other 3 phones (HTC Incredible, Blackberry Curve 8330, and an LG Cosmos all maintain 3 bars when picked up and held in a normal position. In fact, when I recived my first call on my iPhone the caller complained my voice was breaking up. NONE of my other phones have that problem. I called Verizon support on my iPhone, and they said my call was breaking up. I changed my holding position so I was pinching the the front and back of the phone (not touching any of the metal frame), and they said they could hear me much better. Nice test, huh? I have checked this situation over and over. I am not going to "pinch" my phone to use it. I am not going to spend more money on a bumper or case to use it. I am going to hold Verizon to their promise that that the known antenna issue with the iPhone was fixed. I am going to return my iPhone for a full refund and HIGHLY recommend that ANYONE who thinks the antenna issue is fixed is flat out WRONG. I HAD a lot of confidence in Verizon and Apple before this fiasco. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that both of them new full well that the defect still existed and still hyped and released a defective product. I will be the first to gladly participate in any class action suit that comes out of this - which I am sure it will. DO NOT BUY AN IPHONE 4.

Verizon didn't promise you that the issue no longer existed (if a rep that hadn't had a chance themselves to see the phone until activating them for customers on the 10th told you this they were not the most reliable to respond unfortunately). Technically I don't recall Apple ever officially stating so (they never said they did the antenna changes as a "fix" to the issue...they said they did it to accomodate the CDMA chip), but if they did and it does not happen to be true for you and the phones in your household then by all means return them. At the end of the day, Verizon did not make the equipment....they just finally worked it out to get the rights to sell it with their service for the customers that have been begging for it for years. Be disappointed in Apple (as far as the antenna issue goes). For you, the issue exists. For others, it exists. For many, it does not. So being able to say there is NO doubt that the issue still exists is still very debatable at this point. Personally, I have had almost 1 full week (tomorrow) of crystal clear calls, no antenna issues, no dropped calls or dropped bars other than the normal that occurs with any phone on any network. Actually, the bars on my iPhone are interestingly more stable than those of my Blackberry Tour were.
At any rate, I'm sorry that the iPhone did not live up to your expectations, but your experience is not definitive of all iPhone users any more than mine is.

Airport card not picking up any signals after IP configuration changed

Just had cable internet installed in my apartment, and in the course of setting up the IP configuration for the built-in ethernet connection, my airport card has stopped recognizing wireless networks in my building. Before I changed these settings, the card was working, and there are several networks in the building that it recognized. Now, it recognizes none. The menu appears in the top bar, and I can turn the airport on and off, but it simply is not picking up any signals whatsoever.
I have tried a handful of tactics, including changing the Airport TCP/IP configuration in several different ways, rebooting several times, and even removing and reinserting the Airport card.
For info: I'm using an iBook G3 with OS 10.2.8. (I know, pretty old, but it's still chugging along...)
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure. What's strange is that the very same computer was picking up signals (not accessing them b/c they were all password protected), recognizing networks in the area at least, before I played with the other IP configuration settings. Now it picks up none. It shows that there are none in the area, even though I know that there are.
Also, often, when I click on the Airport icon in the menu bar, the computer hangs for up to a minute before the menu actually pops up.
I have an Airport Express unit that I have hooked up to the cable modem, and my Airport card won't even recognize that signal. I'm just not sure what I changed that made it go haywire. I've been using this computer on wireless networks for the entire time I've owned it. Never had this problem before yesterday.
Thanks for any additional suggestions anyone can offer.

Unable to pick up certain signals all of a sudden?

On my 2ghz core 2 duo white macbook, I've not been able to pick up wireless signals through airport that I've previously been able to pick up fine. Other macbooks/laptops can pick it up, while mine says I have a signal, but nothing loads. Is this a problem with my airport card or my computer? Will buying a new airport card help with this? What can I do to fix this?

I'm having the same issue. I've used my Macbook on this network for over a year and suddenly, it would connect to the network but not the internet. My iPhone and Gateway laptop would, but not the Macbook :/
Now, it won't even connect to the network. I've tested it on some of the other networks, it will connect and get the internet, but it takes a long time to even connect. Then other times, it connects to the network but not the internet.
I need reliable internet access for when my husband Skypes until he comes home from the Middle East!
It seems like this started happening shortly after the last update DLed

IPhone doesn't pick up wifi automatically

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Often my iPhone doesn't pick up wifi when I come into a wi-fi zone and stays on GPRS until I go into setting, wifi and then it picks up the network. Sometimes it does it automatically but it's annoying when it doesn't. It sometimes does the same with network signal if you go into a 'No Service' area and then come out of it it often takes a long time to pick up the network signal again. What could be wrong?

These are wi-fi networks your iPhone has connected with previously?
If not, your iPhone won't automatically connect to an available wi-fi network unless your iPhone has successfully connected to the network previously.
You can try resetting network settings at Settings > General > Reset.
This will erase all saved wi-fi networks and settings your iPhone has connected with previously and require manually re-joining every wi-fi network your iPhone has access to when returning within range of such a wi-fi network. This will also reset your cellular network connection.

Why does my iPhone 3Gs stall and then the signal Drops?

Over the past couple of weeks, several times a day, when I am using my iPhone - normally an app, but sometimes declining a call, I can tell the app (or phone) sort of stalls and then immediately all of my bars disappear and I totally lose me signal. Then it says "Searching..." in the upper left-hand corner and maybe after 1 or 2 minutes, it picks up the signal again.
This is getting annoying. I am quite sure it is not a network problem since no one else on the area is experiencing the same thing. It happens on multiple apps, so my guess it is with the phone. I really do not think it is with the SIM card...
Any one have the same problem? I've looked online for posts about similar problems and have found nothing.

Actually, what's probably happened is the signal dropped, the phone is having trouble dealing with it, eventually gives up and then updates the signal icon to show it's dropped.
It's common in networking that apps don't handle certain types of networking problems well or rely on the network layer which may be too aggressive in re-trying before telling the calling app there's a problem. This is tricky stuff whether a computer plugged into a network jack or Wi-Fi or cell tower.
If it happens to you everywhere then drop by Apple but it might just be happening in certain areas due to a cell tower problem.
