Patch 1.1.1 - Poor reception w/phone & Wi-Fi now

Ever since updating my iPhone with the new firmware (v1.1.1) I have noticed a dramatic decrease in my phones reception.
I previously got 5 bars consistantly where ever I went (including Italy last month on Vodaphone's network, which was a pleasant surprise!). I also had excellent Wi-Fi reception on my home network. In fact, the reception with AT&T was so good I was tempted to switch the rest of my family over from Verizon.
Well, since the recent update I am lucky to get 2 bars, and poor to no Wi-Fi reception. I also notice major distortion now when playing back purchased iTunes music through the phone speakers. Anyone else having this problem? Is there any way to roll back the update?

I'm experiencing the same thing. I have "No Service" nearly every time I am indoors. This did not happen with the previous firmware.

  • 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?

  • How can I solve my Atheros adapter poor reception problem?

    Pavillion p6144f desktop running Windows 7 64 bit
    Connectivity issues in wireless situation
    Atheros 802.11 a/b/g/n adapter not responding well

    View Solution.

    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)

  • No signal or poor reception in nyc

    so the building i work verizon phones are useless inside. no reception at all not. maybe others have the issue in buildings in nyc

    We are using Verizon Wireless family plan, and we suffer from poor reception both at home and at work, here at South Hackensack NJ, just 10 minutes away from NYC, one of Verizon's strongest markets. We usually have 1 bar or 2, if we're lucky, and data is usually only 3G, or very slow 4G. It's been like this since we switched to Verizon last year. If we didn't have ongoing contracts, I would've definitely switched to another carrier (T-Mobile and AT&T have excellent reception for both data and voice).
    I hope someone looks into this problem we're having at zip code 07606.
    Thanks.

  • Why do I have poor reception in certain areas of my house when my kids Apple 5C and Apple 6 don't experience reception problems at all?

    Why do I have poor reception in certain areas of my house when my kids' Apple 5C and Apple 6 have great reception everywhere?

        blazak0815 Let's take a closer look at your reception issues. When you're comparing service to the other phones, what is it specifically you're noticing that's different? How do your phone calls/text and data work in comparison to the Apple devices?

  • 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?

    Need to get a second hand black MacBook connected.  Poor reception on Airport so tried a plug in wifi aerial. That didn't work, but now have  a Network Location I can't get rid of.  How do 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 ?

  • 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?

    Hi, raneth's boyfriend!
    Unfortunately, iTunes was told to restore all data from an old backup onto the new phone, and that cannot be undone.
    However, prior to this, iTunes 10 would have also asked to make a backup of the phone before doing the restore.  If the user elects to say "yes" to perform the backup, then iTunes would have backed up the phone before erasing it.
    Hopefully, that backup will still be available in iTunes, and if so, it would be backed up under the new phone's name prior to it being erased and restored (if the name of the new phone is different to the name of the old phone).
    To check if iTunes has a backup of the phone prior to the restore, look in the Devices category in iTunes Preferences.  All backups made are timestamped and are identified with the iPhone's name at the time of the backup.  Look for:
    • a backup of the phone using the new phone's name prior to the erase and restore, or
    • a backup with the same date and time as that when the phone was erased and restored (not the date and time AFTER when the phone was erased and restored!).  This may be the case if the new and old phones have the same name.
    If a backup is available, you can erase and restore again using that backup. The phone will be restored with what would hopefully be the original image of the new phone.
    If no backup was made prior to erasing and restoring the phone initially, then there is no way to
    undo it, meaning your phone's original data has been lost.
