New iphone, email, reception trouble

as much as I like the new iphone with all it's gadgets - after all I need it to make calls, receive calls and get my emails instantly. If that would work properly I would be sooo happy. But it doesn't!
Right now I have to switch email folders back and fourth until it shows my new emails. The funny thing is that it alerts with the tone you typically hear, so at least I know there is a new mail. Very annoying!
Reception is an issue! Not only with the new phone, but with all the previous ones I own.
At my home I have to turn off 3G otherwise all my calls drop after a few minutes and that even I am close to AT&T head offices.
Can't wait until Verizon offers an alternative. Even if I have to buy a new phone I will give it a try and dispose the AT&T driven one to my collection of old iphones.
I just hope there is a fix in foreseeable future. Otherwise I am getting back to an ordinary simple phone and keep the iphone as a toy!
Hope this is not gonna happen!
Fix it and do it quick!

OK,
More info.
If I disable wi fi, you tube works fine via iphone data link.
you tube works fine via all computers on the same wireless network but no iphones or ipod touchs can use youtube via wireless.
Is there something that the iphone does differently than a regular computer when it connects to youtube that would cause this?
hmmmmmm....

HT1414 new iphone 3, had trouble setting up, took about 5 hours and call to Texas, finally sorted by following morning. Now after 5 weeks No Service suddenly appears and no closing down etc makes any difference. Connect to itunes and SIM not recognised!

what do you do when new iphone 3 will not accept SIM card which it has been doing since I bought it 6 weeks ago but now suddenly No Service and will not recognise SIM. Had this trouble on initial start up, took a 3 hour conversation with Apple USA to get it going. Can't connect to itunes because it won't recognise the SIM. Cannot remember what we did to get it going last time as it took so long and we did so many different things. Any suggestions other than put it in the bin!

First, though the phone is "new" to you, it really is a 5 year old piece of equipment. Ancient by current standards.
Have you obtained a replacement SIM from your carrier?

New iPhone 5 having trouble finding wireless networks

New iPhone5 works on home network but is unable to join work network and can't find church network. iPad 2 and previous iphone4 worked fine on both networks.
What should I do?

Hi there sadlerb98!
Being able to connect to Wireless Networks is definitely an important function and I'm regretful to learn your iPhone 5 is having difficulties doing so! Let's make sure we try all options to get you connected. I appreciate you trying the Network Reset option first. Please ensure your information is backed up and complete a hard reset on your phone: http://vz.to/1cfZDog
Restore your information and test the wireless connections again. Please keep me posted on your results!
Thanks!

HT4864 I'm confused with the syncing of email with Icloud. Do I need to use the new Icloud email account instead of my existing outlook accounts?

I set up Icloud and an icloud email account in outlook 2010. The calendar dates transferred to my Iphone but nothing of the emails. The only email that go to my iphone are those that go to the new Iphone email account in outlook. Do I have to use the Icloud email account instead of my existing outlook accounts in order for my email to sync? If not what can I do to get my outlook email to sync with my iphone? Thanks.

iCloud only "syncs" data in the iCloud account, not data in other external accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc. If your email, contacts and calendars are hosted by another external account, such as Gmail/Google, you may want to not sync this data using iCloud as you would have import it all to the iCloud account in order to do so. Instead, add your external account to your iOS devices and in Settings>Mail,Conacts,Calendars>Add Account and turn on contacts and calendar syncing with your external account.

New iphone, synced with Outlook, but messages remain 'unread'.

I just moved to a new iphone 3gs and even though I didn't' change anything on my computer my iphone email remains marked 'unread' with the little blue dot and notification numbers.
I see people have this problem a lot, but previously when I opened outlook and just downloaded email the blue dots would disappear on the iphone. I could almost see it happen live if I updated the iphone email. I didn't even have to read the email on my computer, it just automatically recognized it was downloaded by outlook and therefore removed the blue dot and notification.
I should note that in my outlook settings I have never had it set to remove email from server right away (I have always left my email on the server for a week to get email on the road and as a backup for HD failure).
So for whatever reason when I set up the new iphone email (had to do it manually) this time it does not know I've downloaded the email to Outlook and does not automatically take the blue dot away. I'm not sure how it did it before but I would like to have it working again.
Any thoughts?

My iPhone email works with my Gmail account.
Since going to OS 3.0, I've found that the unread indicator on the mail icon is wrong if I delete new messages without reading them first.
I now seem to be stuck with 1 inbox mail unread despite all my inbox mails being read (and there's only 7 of them, not easy to miss).

HT201320 I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account?

I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account on her iPhone? I tried to just copy the info from her old iPhone.

The sending of email is accomplished via the SMTP server. Take a moment to get back into Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and select the account. Go to the SMTP server and check to make sure that username and password are entered in all of the appropriate places. If you cannot get it to work after trying to just change those settings, remove the account from the phone and recreate it. When recreating, make sure you enter the username and password in every location, even if the phone says optional. Make sure you have the settings from either the email provider or from the other device. Make sure that SSL is on or off as necessary.

Having trouble setting up adam email on new iphone 4

have never used an email account before and have today bought a new iphone 4. I use adam internet for my email - how do I go about setting this up. Think I have done it correctly but get nowhere. Message comes up 'Cannot Connect Using SSL'. Any help appreciated.

Here's some more info:
In the Servers tab, ensure that:
1. The Incoming (POP3) server is set to fpostoffice.isp.att.net and the Outgoing (SMTP) mail server is set to fmailhost.isp.att.net.
Note: When updating the secure server settings, check SSL checkbox first to update the port setting.
* Under Outgoing mail (SMTP) should be port 465 and the box next to server requires a secure connection (SSL) is checked.
* Under incoming mail (POP3) should be port 995 and the box next to server requires a secure connection (SSL) is checked.
2. The Incoming Mail Server User Name (Account name) and Password are entered.
3. The Remember password checkbox and the My server requires authentication checkbox are checked.

Having trouble setting up e-mail on new iPhone 4s. I would like to sync with my outlook mail, contacts

I am having trouble setting up my email and syncing my outlook calendar wiht my new iphone 4s.

How do you connect to the internet?
Most of the time, the problem lies here. You can try a couple of things. First, try only 3G or carrier data. Then, try only wifi. If that still doesn't work, your only other option is to try a different hotspot.
I had the same problem before when I updated to iOS 4.3. I thought it was the update at first. I usually have the carrier data turned off because my plan doesn't have an unlimited provision for it. I forgot that I also switched ISPs from DSL to a visibility unit package - meaning I had to setup my laptop so that I could get wifi from it. I realized this when I visited a friends house that I knew I could connect properly before.
My problem was with my laptop. It seems that Little Snitch blocks the ports being used for mail and push notifications. I haven't figured it out exactly since I still can't get email when I'm using my laptop connection. But, it works fine when I'm using ONLY 3G or both/wifi only if connected to a different hotspot.
Hope that helps.

Is anyone having trouble unlocking the new iphone after you lock it?

Go to expresslane.apple.com and go to itunes/itunes store and billing/redemption and apple ID account billing, and click on send an email or talk to a live chat advisor.. have your order numer, cost, and the name of the item... you'll need to explain in detail. If you send an email they will get back to you within 24 hours. If you chat with a live advisor they will assist you immediately. They are really good at getting you a refund when needed.

My new iPhone 6 sends text messages from my email not from my cell number. how to fix this?

I have a new iPhone 6. I am having trouble with texting. Why do my texts go out from my email instead of my cell phone number? How can I fix this?

Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Start New Conversations From

Also if you reply to an iMessage sent to one of the email addresses listed in Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->You can be reached by iMessage at,
you'll answer by default from that address.

New IPhone 5. Apple id is my email address. when I try to set up i cloud it automaticly changes my apple pass word to my provider pass word. How can I get it to stay my apple pass word?

New IPhone 5. Apple id is my email address. when I try to set up i cloud it automaticly changes my apple pass word to my provider pass word. How can I get it to stay my apple pass word?

Thanks for the flag J.K. - they contaced me and solved my problem. On this account (which I created just to ask this question), I log in with my email rather than my user name (mtalldud). On the account that I was having trouble with, they told me to use my user ID instead of my email to log in and it worked. This is a bit confusing and seems a bit inconsistent but at least I don't need this temporary account any more to get into this community and find answers!

Cannot send email from new iPad 2 or new iPhone 4s

I have a new ipad2 and a new iPhone 4s. I cannot send email from either. I had an iPad and an android before with no email issues. Phone is Sprint and ipad is Verizon. I have tried using my wifi and have tried turning wifi off. Nothing works. Please help.

I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

HT201320 I have a new work email that works fine on my iPhone 5. However the tone and vibration do not work on my phone or iPad for this particular account? It is like it is on silent!! All the features are on for tone / vibration and nothing happens!!!

I have a web based new work email account from my Company that is working fairly well on my iPhone 5 and my iPad 4.

HT1766 When I setup my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently entered wrong email address for apple id. I cannot verify the email sent. I have a new apple id, but can neither use nor delete the iCloud account. How do I get an iCloud account for this phone?

When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id. I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?

You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. ".
Why can't you verify it?
Do you not receive the verification email address?
