Phone not working when i am at my house!

I am wanting to see if anyone has had this problem or any advise.  A couple weeks ago I got a message on phone saying something was wrong with sd card. Clicked on it, asked if I wanted to format card. I didn't want to do that knowing it would delete everything, so I didn't bother it.  since then I don't have a signal when I am at my house.  Also cant send txt. Usually says I don't have a mobile connection. My phone is useless when I am home.  When I leave, it works fine.  If I want to use anything on phone while I am home, I have to turn on wifi. I have called Verizon 2 times about this.  I made them call my phone both times to see if they could hear me.  and of course they could.  So we would think phone was fixed, then next time I go to make a call...the person can't understand anything I am saying. 

    Hi aprillynn!
This is very strange! I also have the Galaxy S3 and I have not experiencing any issues with it. Since this issue appear to be associated directly with the message indicating to format your SD card, I would recommend to backup the media from your SD card to your computer and then format the SD card as previously indicated by your device. While in my opinion this has nothing to do with signal, I would do it only because issues started after you declined to format SD card. Additionally, I would recommend to reprogram your phone by removing the SIM card http://bit.ly/TMHSVi for 30 seconds. This will resync your phone with the network and may resolve signal issues too. Please keep in mind that indoor signal can be challenging due structural materials properties, and other factors out of our control (terrain, buildings, foliage, etc.) can also impact indoor service.

  • Find My Phone not working when connected to international service provider

    I recently moved from the US to Switzerland and changed my SIM card from one of Verizon's to one of Orange's (Orange is a popular provider in Switzerland). Unfortunately, the Find My Phone feature is now not working, whether I'm connected to WiFi or using data. Does anyone know if the feature only works in the States?

    Find My Phone only requires an Internet connection, either WiFi or 3G. Have you tried turning Find My Phone off, wait about 30 seconds or so, then turning it back on?

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

  • My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

    My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

    I have a similar problem.  I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS.  After completing the process the phone never restarted.  The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon.  I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone.  The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads.  iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does.  I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery.  This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help.  A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged.  She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on.  I don't think it is a battery issue.  The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone.  Repairing it was out of the question.  At this point the phone is completely useless.  Thanks in advance for the help.

    If you double tap the home button, and then swipe your finger to the right, make sure you DO NOT have the Lock Orientation button enabled.
    You know it is disabled if there is no padlock in the middle of the icon.

  • Iphone 4 the mike does not work when making a call.  it does work with speaker phone and face time

    Just activated new Iphone 4 and the mike does not work when making a call.  it does work with speaker phone and face time. Any known fixes?

    My wife's iphone 4 also has your same no ring problem as does my iphone 5 just less often.  I called her iphone 4 at home from where I work 20 miles away on my iphone 5.  With her phone in 3G mode ONE call went through and 9 went to voice mail in 10 tries.  This is a 10% sucess rate!!  I also could listen in real time from the wired work phone and the wired home phone.  She turned off 3G mode and it went to "O" mode at  the top left of the screen after the ATT.  In this mode it rang on the first ring tone 5 times out of 5 tries which is 100% of the time.  I have learned that the calling party will hear up to 4 ring tones when placing a call on the ATT network.  If the ring tone changes volume slightly before the 4th ring then and only then will the cell phone start to ring.  If the ring tone does not change after the 4th ring you get voice mail.  If the calling party does not leave a voice message there is never a missed call displayed on the iphone.  If the calling party does leave a voice message a few minutes later the iphone dings for arriving voice mail but still no missed call indication. 
    This appears to be related to the time of day and the ATT tower that the receiving caller is using.  Tried other towers and it works in 3G mode 10 times out of 10 tries.  Apple replaced the first iphone 4 with a new phone, no improvement.  ATT replaced the SIM card and no improvement.  ATT so far is clue less.  This has been going on every since we got the new iphones which is 4 months.  The ATT web site also describes this same problem from several years ago.  Has anyone got better information?
    Thanks

  • Microphone not working when using a phone call, Microphone not working when using a phone call

    Microphone is not working when i use my iphone 4, first day when i installed a iOS 7 , was all good, second day this happened. Please help me. When i use a Viber microphone working. I think this is not a hardwear problem.

    Hi Mike
    That was very helpful thank you.
    I did as you suggested and found the "switch" was already turned on green. I swiched it off waited a while then turned it back on and microphone was back in use in viber. I have a sneaky feeling I may have to do this again in the future.  I am not aware that I did anything that led to the microphone going off, but having said that I have only had the phone for a few days so may have done something when checking it out.
    The phone has been a lot of fun after replacing my ancient Nokia with it. That Nokia worked in Morse code!
    Best wishes

    Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Do you have the screen off? If you're using the iPhone at the time, calls and messages still come through as normal.

    hi wjosten
    I don't put the iphone in my front pocket. I put in my bag pack so vibration is not useful to me. Pls help
    The iPhone is working exactly as it is designed.
    Your options are:
    1) Unplug the headset.
    2) Leave the headset plugged in and the earpiece in your ear at all times.
    3) Turn on vibrate and put the phone in your pocket.
    4) Leave feedback for Apple and hope they deem it worthy of their time to fix.

  • PDF conversion with PDF2ID; Hypertext not working when exported back to pdf.

    I have done a PDF conversion with PDF2ID, however Hypertext is not working when I exported it back to pdf. I am using the PDF2ID plug-in program to redo all the product booklets for our company as the hypertext did not work when downloaded to any smart phone. All that appeared were blank placeholders in each booklet index page.
    According to the PDF2ID people the program plug-in recovers all URLs static and dynamic and bookmarks and local links and suggested I check with Adobe ID5 for help, but Adobe says my $1,000 ID5 is no longer supported and that I should go to the forums.....so here I am.
    This is the first time I've even opened my ID5, so I'm a bit lost. Now I need to improve the quality of the PDFs, as we also need to convert all images to TIFF-CMYK in order to have the booklets printed & bound professionally. they tell me ID can do that.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Ugh...in some companies, that is training.
    Don't take this the wrong way David, but of course ID can't do anything. PDF2ID conversions can be sketchy in the hands of the experienced. The same can be said of properly preparing matials for print. As Bob has already alluded, you're in an unfair position there. It's not uncommon for "management" types to just throw some sophisticated tools at a need and expect someone to make it work. In order to do what's being asked of you, you'll have to learn a fair bit about InDesign and production. It's too soon to ask about the output when you haven't learned to manage the input.
