Phone is never able to maintain a consistent 3G signal

This may be not a very generic question , but I have observer that the phone is not able to keep a 3G signal for long. It mostly falls back on 2G and stays there. I have not seen this on iPhone 4S and on a different network. But with iPhone 5 on a Vodafone network I am facing this. Any pointers will be a great help. Vodafone guys are saying there is no issue with there network and I also can see the other phones (android, even 4S) stay on 3G on the same location , but iPhone 5 likes 2G much better than 3G.
Thanks,
Vishal

HT1414 My phone was never added to my iTune devises. now it is not starting and I am not able to back it up before restoring to factory settings. I am a doctor on duty and i have to have my mob working

My phone was never added to my iTune devices. Now it is not starting and I am not able to back it up before resetting to the factory settings.

Then you are out of luck with wanting to create a backup for your iPhone first. This could have been done wirelessly with a free Apple iCloud account without needing to use iTunes on your computer to do so. This is similar to not creating a backup for your computer, your computer hard drive crashes and wanting to back up the hard drive before reformatting the hard drive.

I have the curve but was never able to open the download manager disc that came with the phone. i have a mac computer. i do not have the internet on my phone. i would like to backup my phone book. thankyou, joan

Unfortunately I lost my life and am trying to rebuild. Isn't the technical era great.
Backup, backup, backup
As a minimum, use 3-2-1 (or even more)
3 copies of your data (original copy counts as 1)
2 different backup utilities/storage formats (protects from bugs in the software)
1 copy off-site (protects against theft, fire, and natural disaster)
More backup copies are even better.
Backup disks are cheap compared to the lost of personal data that does not exist anywhere else.

Getting Charged for a Phone I never Received

I ordered a phone months ago, cancelled the phone nearly immeadiatley. VZW
customer service people were able to stop the package from ever arriving at
my home. Now I am dealing with this mess that I owe money for a phone I
never even got. I spoke to a person on Jan 8, I have been busy and have not
gotten around to contacting yet another verizon rep yet to try to firgure
this out, but this person credited me $20 on my account so I figured I had
a bit to get in touch with yet another person at verizon to resole this.

TS1702 Why am I almost never able to send photos or videos via iMessage since upgrading to iOS6?

Ever since upgrading my iPhone 4s and iPad3 to iOS6 I am almost never able to send photos or videos to anyone regardless of their device or iOS

I recommend taking it into the store. Sounds to me like you have downloaded an app that has allowed itself to become the "primary" when sending and recieving images.... Apple is seriously dropping the ball!! Just the other day, I downloaded an app called v-downloader... Its an app that allows you to download videos through a 3rd party browser. Well what it did, was automatically place restrictions on my phone... I couldnt send pics, and it removed access to safari, facetime, messages, etc... so maybe try removing any recent app purchases. Also, I would reccomend that you restore your phone. it will redo the update off your computer and come through with less glitches
But I agree, iOS6 has been nothing but problems... I plan on removing the update when I get home

My iPhone 4s screen is cracked and can't slide to unlock it. Several of the icons are not working as well. Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up or synced with another device?

My iPhone 4s screen is cracked (due to being dropped) and I can't slide to unlock it. Several of the the icons on screen will not work either. Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up and never been synced with another device?

No in order to backup to iTunes, you would need to unlock your phone.
In order to import pics to your computer you would need to unlock your phone.

In Afghanistan - phone has never been jailbroken. Was updating iTunes when message said phone had to be restored. When tried to restore phone goes process then at very end i get error code "-1".

This is my first iPhone. It's an iPhone 4, purchased the end of June 2012 through Sprint. I deployed to Afghanistan September 1st and have only used the phone for the camera, alarm clock, flashlight, etc. since deploying. I traveled to Germany a few days ago and have WiFi access. As soon as I connected, both my MacBook and iPhone had software updates available. When I attempted to update my iPhone I received a message saying there wasn't enough space available for the update. I removed all music from the phone and successfully installed the update.
I opened iTunes in order to sync my music back to the phone and recieved a notification that an iTunes update was available for the phone. I downloaded the update. Then I received a notification that the phone would need to be restored before it could be used with iTunes. I clicked "okay" then "restore iTunes". It then went through a series of restoration steps (extracting software, verifying, preparing and restoring iPhone software) before it verifies then shows that it is restoring iPhone firmware. At the very end an error message comes up "The iPhone could not be restore. An unknown error occurred (-1).
I read about this same error code in this community and all the answers say there is no help because that error code indicates the phone has been jailbroken. My phone has never been jailbroken.
I have been without my multi-tool since the day I stepped foot in Germany. I will be returning to Afghanistan in a few days and won't be stateside until April or May. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

Error -1 indicates a hardware issue with the device.
Read here > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
The device should still have warranty but unfortunately any service needs to be done in the US.

Is it possible for you to send the device home and have a family member take it to the Apple Store?

Symbols being able to maintain a layer structure

I really think that symbols need to be able to maintain a layer structure so that when they are placed or imported into a document the various objects making up that symbol could be automatically assigned to their respective layer. My company has found working with Illustrator layers virtually impossible due to the complex and extensive nature of our symbol libraries. Pasted below is an overview of my company's situation in order to give this request some context.
I'll elaborate on our current system a bit more.
1. Instances do not reside in the same place on all the renderings. We have roughly 120 illustrator templates set up, most of which are similar but all vary per rendering as each represents a different product.
2. There are not always the same number of instances on a given layer.
3. The position of the instances changes on virtually every rendering.
4. The number of symbols that would be associated with a particular layer varies depending on how much of that particular product line a client is interested in. Anywhere from 1 on the low end to possibly 50 or so on the high end.
5. I am aware of the paste remembers layers function. Due to the complexity of our expansive component based system, I'd guess we currently have atleast 500+ symbols set up over a couple dozen palettes (set up as symbol libraries). Additionally each component has its identifying part# displayed next to it so that our clients/production team can identify them by looking at the rendering. Not only that, but some of these components are very small. Having all these symbols already on the page, or even on several pages just isnt realistic due to the scale and volume.
6. Replace symbols isnt really an option as we are constantly bringing in/adding symbols based on our expansive component-based system.
7. I haven't delved very deep into variables and datasets in Illustrator, so I'll try to take some time and explore them to see if there are any viable options there.

Bump?

HT201441 Hi i bought a phone off of Craigslist and the phone was never deactivated by the previous owner. I cant contact the previous owner. How do I unlock it?

Not sure. It may also have never been reported to AT&T as stolen.
It won't really matter. The hardware ID of the phone is associated with the Apple ID and password of the person who originally activated it. That is association is stored on Apple's activation servers and only the original owner can remove the association as discussed in the article you were reading. Until that happens, the activation server will not reactivate the phone without the proper Apple ID and password being entered.

I just put some music into itunes, and it wont transfer into my phone. i never had this problem before.

Sounds like you synced your new phone to his backup, not yours. Reset the phone and try again. Or maybe Restore will let you resync it, I'm not going to try it on my phone to find out.

IBooks does not open. It only briefly shows an empty bookcase. I have all my important .pdf reference documents in my library. I was never able to figure out how to backup ibooks. I am afraid to reinstall the apps risking loss of data. Any way to save?

IBooks will not open with new ipad and upgraded iOS. It only opens briefly to show an empty bookcase. I installed the most recent update of iBooks. In apps store it says 'open'. But the same thing happens...a brief flash. Strangely, the image and list of my collection actually shows in miniature with all the open apps; so I can close it as I do any other app.
I have all my important .pdf reference documents in my library. I am afraid to reinstall the apps risking loss of data. I was never able to figure out how to backup ibooks. Any way to save without access to the program?

Now that you have your PDFs on your computer's iTunes library you could try deleting and redownloading the app, and then sync the PDFs back to it - as long as you continue to keep a copy of the PDFs on your computer (and preferably on a backup as well) then if the same thing happens again then you could delete and reinstall again (you shouldn't have any problems with the iBooks app, but then you shouldn't have had a problem this time either).
You could try GoodReader (you could have the most important PDFs in both) - but the current version on iOS 7 isn't getting very good reviews in terms of its speed and crashes (it's description page says that a major update is coming soon).

I have an iPhone 4 and am in Nepal. My phone was previously able to connect to wifi, but now is unable. I have an iPad and that is able to connect just fine. This problem is with every wifi hotspot I have tried so it is the phone not the modem.

How do I recover a deleted text message if the phone has never been backed up/synced

How do I recover a deleted text message if the phone has never been backed up/synced. Yes, I know, I know I should be backing up/syncing my phone . . . but that hasn't been yet. So, can I still find the deleted text message? If I sync for the first time will it also sync deleted messages?

Asking exactly the same question a second time will NOT get you a different answer.
You can not recover that which has been deleted and was never backed up.
