5800 has poor reception through Nissan Factory fit...

Hi All
Have just upgraded from N95 to 5800, and am generally pleased with the phone.
Sadly, the phone has a very poor connection through my Nissan Navaras Bluetooth Hands free. My old N95 connected fine, with crisp sound etc.
The 5800 however is realy poor, and pretty much unusable on the hands free.
It pairs up fine etc, but thats about all. The car is a Nissan Navara, and the Bluetooth is in-built as part of the Sat Nav.
Any tips or ideas to sort this out?? - If not, the phone is going back.
Hope you can help

Hi rhys9918
Unfortunately your 5800XM is probably too new for the vehicle and it is quite difficult for car manufacturer's to play catch up; the specification of Navara was signed off quite a while ago and I am pleasantly surprised that N95 has performed well with it!
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Note 3 poor reception, no signal, dropped calls. other phones have no problem. have reset it, pulled battery, support has reset towers etc. still having issues.

note 3 poor reception, dropped calls, no signal, 3g not 4g. out of service area message at home this is crazy. other phones have no problem,

Wow! That's quite the large area, Nicki05. The service along Interstate 65 is pretty strong in general. Do you use any type of case on your phone? Has your phone been replaced through your warranty when you gave our Tech Support a call?

TS1398 My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. Goes in and out. My IPod, IPhone, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work finer. I think it has wifi antenna issues. Does anyone else have this problem?

My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. It goes in and out. My IPod, Iphone4, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work fine. What can I do? Does anyone else have this problem?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

IPhone 5s (new) has terrible reception, 5 PICS included. -115 db reading!?!

I just got an iPhone 5s. FIRST THING I noticed when I was getting ready to walk out the Verizon store - my iPhone 5s was reading "3 bars of 3G service" inside the Verzon store. What!? Every other device in the store has bull 5 FULL bars of LTE service (I know stores have their own boosters inside) but even with the booster I was getting only 3 bars 3G service inside the store!! I went back inside and asked the lady at the counter, she said it was "normal for the phone to have bad reception and switch between LTE and 3G during first day".... I didn't really believe her, but I said okay and left figuring I'd wait 24 hours to test it. As I figured, that wasn't true. The iPhone 5s has been having both poor reception and worse speeds on the same Wifi compared to both the iPhone and iPhone 4s, side by side.
Right now, In my home I CONSTANTLY locked onto one 1 single bar of LTE service. The coverage map shows I am in a full LTE area, and my street is a full LTE area. So it's not that. If I turn "LTE OFF" the bars increase to 3 to 4 bars. This means that the LTE signal is weak at my home. But I'm NOT turning LTE off, why would I want an iPhone 5s if I wanted to use 3G service?? The iPhone 5s is suppose to have better LTE reception and more bands....BUT: THE LAST PICTURE SHOWS THE iPhone 5s in 3G mode vs the iPhone 4s in 3G mode, and yet again the iPhone 5s has worse reception..
I've tried to: turn off LTE, turn it back on. RESTART network settings. HARD reset phone over 4 times.. I've done an icloud back up over 3 times. Nothing has improved it. After looking at the pics, is this NORMAL for the iPhone 5s to have these problems? Should I exchange it in back for the regular iPhone 5?? I still have time left to exchange it. I don't think a NEW iPhone 5s will fix the problem, as I've read online the 5s has MANY reception issues...Although I suppose I could try an exchange one time, but the iPhone 5s still has problems after the exchange will they still let me switch back to the iPhone 5? (It's only been 3 days, so still 12 days remaining). I would ask a customer service rep, but they aren't very honest so I will not take their word for it.
HERE ARE THE PICS showing MULTIPLE PROBLEMS from Signal problems to Wifi problems to Ping problems, etc...:
PIC #1: (BELOW) Showing Verizon iPhone 5s with LTE on VS Verizon iPhone 4s (a non LTE phone). This pic is just showing the reception/BARS only.
iPhone 5s ON THE LEFT with the iPhone 4s on the right. The 5s only has 1 bar. The iPhone 4s has many bars. But bars aren't everything, so here's them in field test mode:
PIC #2 (BELOW)
The Verizon 5s on left has a -115 DB reading (that's HORRIBLE) vs the Verizon 4s that has a -80 DB reading (good)
PIC #3 (BELOW): This is showing that even on the SAME Wifi, in the same spot, the 5s is pulling SLOWER speeds, pretty big difference. I've ran this test 20+ tests, same results every time the iPhone 5s loses sometimes by 1mbps othertimes by 5+ mbps, again on the same Wifi in same spot.
Pic #4 (BELOW) :Here is the test where the 5s came VERY CLOSE to the 4s in terms of download Speed, but LOOK AT THE PING, HUGE PING DIFFERENCE. Again SAME Wifi in SAME spot.
Notice the 5s has a ping of 45? While the 4s has a ping of 18? Big difference. Also the 5s had 1.88 upload, while the 4s had 3.13 upload.....
Pic #5: I just thought I'd compare the Verizon 5s to a Verizon LG flip-phone... Even the flip-phone gets better service!!!
This is just pathetic... The iPhone is suppose to have TWO great Atennea, and the improved technology over the years is suppose to have BETTER reception.. Nope, not on mine. The flip phone constantly gets 4+ bars of service, somtimes full.
LAST PICTURE: (3G VS 3G in field test mode)
Pic 6:
The 5s on the left has a -94 DB reading, while the iPhone 4s has a -84 DB reading. THEY ARE BOTH ON 3G MODE, side by side. Yet still, even if I turn on iPhone 5s to 3G only it still has worse quality.... I've tested everything I can think of, and the iPhone 5s is doing worse in everything!!

BTW, I have done 25 speed tests witin the last 2 hours ALL IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. Verizon LTE network is averaging about 6mbps download speed, where in the store they where doing 40mbps++. That's a huge difference. In some areas when I got 5 full bars of LTE, I did a speed-test assuming I'd be blazing fast. Results? 1st result: 10.23mbps with 5 full bars of LTE..... Another test with 5 full bars of LTE got me 6.52mbps. That's bad, with FULL bars of LTE and near a tower, and using an iPhone 5s getting 6mbps download on FULL bars of LTE??? What?? My AT&T iPhone 5 always got at least 20mbps MINIMUM with 5 bars of LTE, it never got 6.52 mbps download speed with a full 5 bars of LTE like my Verizon iPhone 5s is doing... I'm pretty disappoined. I just ported over from AT&T a couple days ago only to find the service is much worse. I hope this is only a bad phone, and not the actual Verizon network. Otherewise I will have to cancel my service and get a refund (I still am within my 14 days return policy for a refund).
And yes, I have tried taking the case off with no noticable improvements, maybe I'd get 7mbps with no case while I'd get 6mbps with a case on. So a little difference, but still only 1 bar of service in my home, and on my street. Not acceptable.
I have tried ALL of the following, nothing has worked:
#1: Reset all network settings (5 times+ tried)
#2: I've contacted Verizon TECH support and they have manually reset my network settings. Did nothing. Infact, I did TWO speed tests before calling and I was getting around 12mbps in the location I was at. Although I checked and I was within 0.5 miles of 3 different Verizon towers, so that explains the decent speed for the first time.
THEN after he reset my phone and I powered it off for 5 minutes, I did THREE speed tests: 1st result was 2mbps download, and twice the ping as BEFORE the reset. 2nd result was around 4mbps. And the 3rd result was around 3-5 mbps range. So after the manual resest it got WORSE in the same spot I was standing. Either way, even when I got "decent" speeds it's still pretty darn slow for LTE in a major city...
#3: Hard reset (5+ times tried)
#4: Turning LTE on and Off. This helps the bars, but again I don't want no slow 3G that gives me 0.5mbps download speed, that's useless.
#5: TOOK OFF THE CASE, and tried. The reception did not increase, but, when running speed tests, I would get about 1mbps faster with the case OFF rather than on. Still, this is not enough. Plus the reception remains at 1 bar in my house, even holding it near the window upstairs. I live in a full LTE area and checked the street coverage, it says I am in a full LTE area....... So not even taking the case off helped reception, it only helped a little bit for speed tests (but 1mbps different on a few tests may not be enough to be certain). So even with NO case, it's doing poorly...
I switched to Verizon because I thought they had better coverage than AT&T, I actually cancelled my AT&T iPhone 5 and ported it over JUST to get Verizon....I live in Colorado Springs. Now I'm finding out either A.) My phone from the store is defecetive or B). The Verizon network is pretty awful in my city, even though the map shows full LTE coverage,and full LTE coverage in all the surrounding cities too! So I am in a HEAVY LTE coverage area, and town.

Droid maxx drops my calls and/or very poor reception

my droid maxx drops all my calls and/or very poor reception. I am in an area that is supposed to have good coverage. I have tried trouble shooting assistant. did not help. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi sandrabaugh, I have a Droid Maxx. Are you somewhere that would cause physical interference? Perhaps in a building or location. That has a lot of concrete walls, metal, glass, or near any electronic equipment or computer router type of things? Is it isolated to one particular place, or where ever you use the Droid Maxx?

How can I solve my Atheros adapter poor reception problem?

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6144f Desktop Computer. According to the specs, your wireless card supports two (2) antenna connections: 2 internal posts to connect an internal or external antenna. Please verify that there is an antenna or two connected to the 802.11 wireless card. Also, if you are attempting to use 5GHz, consider using 2.4GHz instead. I have tried using 5GHz and the signal doesn't travel very far (example; router down stairs, simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz... phone upstairs, 6 bars on 2.4GHz, 1 bar on 5GHz)

IPhone 6 poor reception fixed yet?

I just wanted to know if Verizon has figured out why using Voice and Data results in poor reception quality?
I bought an iPhone 6 and returned it days after because when I enabled Voice and Data over LTE often the best I could get was 1x while trying to use data on a call, and I would often be on 3G most every where. When I switched it back to Data over LTE only, I would get 2 bars, 3 at most. I never sent the command to show the cell signal in db's. I should have.
I have access to a ton of iPhones through work, so I grabbed a couple both Verizon and At&t, and ran some non scientific test. Results were, At&t never had a problem, but of the 3 verizon versions, all of them exhibited the same reception problem. So, it can't be just a bad phone...
Reading the internets, it seems people say to solve the problem just use LTE for data only, replace the phone, and replace the sim. I am sorry that is an unacceptable solution, as I need both data and voice at the same time.
It is not a network coverage issue, as I live within 15 miles from Verizon World Headquarters, and I am neighbors with the CEO (sudo neighbors, live in the same general area)...
Using my Verizon LG G2 with VoLTE, not a single problem. Signal strength is very strong, have always been able to get calls, no dropped calls, etc...
So, any solution yet verizon?
Thanks....

second part...
So, that $500 million and then some check from Uncle Sam to upgrade the infrastructure went to what...also, i would really love to understand why I get charged for text messages (have an old plan, unlimited data though) since it cost ABSOLUTELY nothing to send a text message, its tacked onto the carrier signal of a voice call, that is being transmitted from the tower, and doesn't even have to be Verizons tower.
I put up with Verizon's ridiculous prices and their crippled phones (see verizon bloatware, added Skins/UIs, and root checkers), because the service was always consistently the best. One of the man reasons I like the iPhones, because Verizon can't cripple them...so imagine how thrilled I was to get the new iPhone 6...but only be disappointed because of this problem. I have a Lg G2 because the battery last 2 days for me and I am heavy user...if anyone is wondering. I have an iPhone 6 for work on At&t...so I am not totally upset, just wish my personal phone worked so well.
Sorry rant over...

Have recently acquired an additional black MacBook, and installed Snow Leopard onto it. Trying to get it to connect via a plug-in USB wifi unit (poor reception on Airport) I have an extra Network Location which does not work. How can I remove it?

Hello my ginger,
I tried what you suggested - but to no success. The problem came up when I was re-entering the new settings. If I left it as using DHCP it would run for a few seconds with no IP address, then drop in a 169.254 one which would not connect through. To overcome this I tried using the 'Using DHCP with manual address' option and entered in an address which it had set up from the clone boot. This appeared to be okay. When I then tried renewing DHCP lease sometimes that address held. When I tried connecting though - no sight of the internet, and the exclamation mark was across the wifi icon in the menu bar. If I switched it to Using DHCP it would randomly fall back to the 169.254 address.
The only significant differences I could see when cross checking all the settings info was in the WINS panel the NetBIOS had a slightly different configuration of the name - but as they ended in the same numbers I assumed they were the same. And, when looking under Keychain Access, in the System section list (it also appeared in the login section) additional info box they had different locations - 28 characters in four groups. I don't have a clue what this refers to. Also the allow access list in the boot clone included System Preferences, but did not in the Snow Leopard boot, so I added it in. With no success.
I am so frustrated I am thinking of giving up. I seen have loads of postings on the net about a variety of problems with wifi connection on Snow Leopard. I have version 10.6.3. Did it get any better in later Snow Leopard ? Or in any of the OS s after that ? It was always so easy and so solid under Leopard - why the h**l did they change it ?

My Sony camcorder HD video looks great in iMovie11 and in iDVD7.1.2., but when I burn a DVD "professional" it looks terrible. If I look at a freeze frame on the DVD I see image made-up of squares. The picture has poor contrast. It looks as bad as poor quality VHS. Do I need to get a new iMac to make this work? Is it possible to make a sharp, clear DVD from AVCHD footage with a 6-year-old iMac like mine?

That thread helped for a time. But now it seems as though my computer is back to slow again. But, some of the jargon is over my head as well. Not sure I knew quoite everything they were talking about. But thanks a lot for that, it helped I probably just need to reread it and follow the instructions again. Thanks so much.

I have had IPhones since their inception. Last phone was the 5. A few months ago, I upgraded to the 6 Plus.
Here is my issue.
On my 5, my car radio (which has USB port) allowed me to plug in and listen to radio or music from my phone and the bonus was it charged the phone as well. All worked great.
Now with the 6 Plus, neither of things work. The message on the radio (Kenwood) says I Pod error. The message on my phone say's "this device is supported".
I have called on this before and was told you are aware and that the issue will be addressed in a future update. There have been several updates on IOS 8 and the issue remains.

I have a Kenwood KDC-X695. When I purchased this stereo and had it installed, I had an ATT iPhone 4.
It worked with the stereo, but had a few issues. I had purchased a few audio books that I would listen to while driving. When I plugged it in it would immediately begin to play the book from the beginning or if I had been listening to music, it would start playing the song that was at the top of the song list.
The stereo came equipped with Firmware version 3.05. I upgraded to the iPhone 5 a year later. I had that phone for approximately 2 years. The song or book issue remained the same.
I just recently upgraded to the iPhone 6 and the Bluetooth function still works, however the USB port on the stereo that the phone plugs into to allow files on the phone to play through the stereo no longer works.
I contacted the service provider (Verizon) and after speaking to several different technical support technicians, they provided me the phone numbers for Kenwood and Apple because they were unable to help me.
I spoke with Kenwood technical support the following day and after a few fumbling miscues from the technical advisor, it was suggested that I upgrade the firmware, even though the Kenwood literature warns against this if the Bluetooth portion is working, because if there is a problem with the upgrade, it can render the Bluetooth useless and non-functional. The advisor did suggest the latest firmware on the second or third attempt, after I pointed out what I was able to glean from my initial search.
Later that day, I went back to the Kenwood site (from their homepage) and by using their selection tools, discovered that this particular model was only ever intended to be used with the iPhone 4S (the technical advisor was not aware of this, even though I mentioned this during my phone call earlier in the day). According to the Firmware selection tool, my iPhone 5 should not have worked with it.
I performed the Firmware upgrade, and it took 13 minutes. This was less than the 15 minutes that was forecast in the Kenwood literature. The Bluetooth still works but the USB cable connection still causes the unsupported device message that I received prior to the upgrade. I am incredibly annoyed and disappointed.
By upgrading to the iPhone 6, I have three choices; (1) only use the Bluetooth for phone calls without the ability to play other files from my iPhone 6 (2) forced obsolescence of my stereo, requires buying a new stereo (3) return my iPhone 6 and go back to my iPhone 5.
I do not believe that I should have to be a software/Firmware/hardware engineer, vetting every single device that I own; prior to upgrading a cell phone.
I am incredibly annoyed with Apple at the moment.
I have a separate Bluetooth headset that worked with both my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 that the iPhone 6 simply does not recognize. That is another story for another time.
Currently, I am incredibly underwhelmed with Apple.

Adobe reader x has poor rendering. Some few bugs in there.

Adobe Reader X has some few adds and a beautiful interface. The product however has poor rendering especially when i try to copy text that exeeds to the next page not in view. The find box also creates some patches on the screen while scrolling, blocking text. It also takes a long time to respond when document is minimised for a long time: the tool bar disappears or becomes blank; menu bar has blotches; and reading screen sometimes appear black.

Sorry that you are having a problem printing documents. Try to print a self test page or printer status report from the printer itself, and see if you get the same results.
Also try to make a copy of a document, and see if the poor printing continues.
Have you MANUALLY cleaned the print head? If you can take the print head out, clean with lint free cloth and water.
