Poor signal/service

Is there some way to improve the signal check the signal for this phone as my brother in law was where I live with a iphone4 in the summer and he had no service issues when he was here.We renewed our contract with a i phone4 and can't even call each other in our own house! I had no problems with our old cells and use a internet stick for high speed at home as we have no other way to get high speed internet where we live as we have a booster antenna as well.

Hello mojo622,
I am so sorry to hear that you've having problems with the service in your area. We definitely want to make sure that we address any service issues you may be experiencing. Can you please provide the zip code where you're experiencing these problems? Also, what is the make and model of your phone? You can update your roaming, and possibly improve service on a 4G phone by powering the phone off, and removing, then reinserting the SIM card.
On a 3G or a basic phone, you can update by dialing *228, option 2. Please give this a try, and let us know if things improve.
Also, I want to let you know, we now conduct business via Facebook and Twitter. You can send us a Private Message on Facebook, in lieu of sending an email, for any questions, or concerns about your account.
Thank you,

Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than when I moved here in February 2013? I only get one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all.

Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than it was when I moved here in February 2013? I get only one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all. Calling to ask the question results in a vortex of questions that have little to do with the problem and no resolution or answer.

I have a Droid Ultra phone. The signal reduction seems to only be in the general area of my home. If I go downtown, the signal improves to what it once was at home. Everything at my home is as it was when the signal was good, including cable TV service. There has been no new construction in the area that I know of.
Thanks for trying to resolve the issue. Just this morning while trying to view web pages, I found that I could not load any.

N8 poor signal reception and other hardware issues...

I have always been a Nokia fan . I started with Nokia 6600, then N70, then N82 and now a Nokia N8.
However, I am facing the worst experience with N8 reception issues.
The problems faced are as under :
1) Poor Signal Reception Issues - Signal strength is weak and is constantly fluctuating compared to other Nokia Phones. At my workplace, if Nokia N82 displays 5 bars, N8 would display only 1 or 2 bars.
2) Phone freezes many times. Whenever an Alarm is enabled, phone freezed much more.
3) Purple Tint in the display. Nokia Service Centre says that its normal but according to me, they are just ignoring this issue.
4) Vibration is weak : I often do not realize when the phone is vibrating in my pocket !!
Upcoming Symbian Anna will just improve the user interface but will not be able to solve these hardware issues.
If Nokia plans a hardware update facility for N8 users wherein they can fix the signal reception issues and increase the RAM to 1 GB atleast, I would retain this phone for few years.
But, now, I intend to switch to Samsung Galaxy S II.
Your views solicited.

I am agree with poor signal issue with nokia N8. I have two cell with one is N8 and other one is N26 with nearly 4.5 year old but at same place Nokia N8 showing very poor quality of network signal compared to N26. So for same network provider with two different cell with same manufacture how can drastic different that is also investing nearly RS.22000!
Please resolve the issue ASAP.

Poor Customer Service and a Rude Associate

My wife's iPhone 5 recently stopped receiving cellular signal. We took it to the verizon store and they were unable to fix it. because it was less than a year old and broke due to no fault of our own the store said that they would send us a new iPhone 5. We gave them the address and associate, who was busy trying to sell us things for our broken phone, received our address. Today the phone arrived at the wrong address and was a an old flip phone. We called the verizon store and the woman on the other line told us she could not help us. She became very rude when we explained to her that we could not give her a reliable number to call because the phone did not receive calls. She told us that that was our problem and that she needed to assist customers. It saddens me that Verizon does not care about its current customers and has such poor customer service. I hope that someone will respond to this willing to help us resolve this problem. We have been verizon subscribers for more than eight years but are now considering other carriers.

Simple fix. First bring the iPhone to an Apple store they can warrantee it right there.
Secondly call 1-800-922-0204 and state the device sent to you was wrong, and went to a wrong address. Make sure you copy all paper work in case you have to take verizon to small claims court
If they tell you to send it back with their label get a copy of the label and insist the USPS scan the package when you send the clam shell device back.
Good Luck

HT203124 That really *****, we have 4g, but poor signal outside cities, so it drains battery in 1 day! All other phones has 2g option,maybe it is time to switch to other os!

There may be nothing wrong with the phone. If the signal in your location is weak then the fault lies with the providers of that signal. Perhaps an alternate provider would help, even if the service costs more. Ultimately, in most countries it is the government that encourages the improvement of infrastructure.

Poor signal htc one m8

Very poor signal Htc one M8. started about 3 weeks ago. per customer service at Verizon a tree or bird is the cause of my issue. Not the only one with this issue in my area. Any thoughts or suggestions. Thinking of leaving Verizon wireless to another carrier.

I apologize for the issues, tecanic1. However, being in a pocket of an extended network can be why the data and service can fluctuate. Have you tried removing and reinserting the sim card to reset your connection? If not, just that a try and also confirm the exact zip could of where you're located besides the 01520.

Poor Customer Service

I am shocked at the level of poor customer service I get from Adobe sales reps on a consistent basis. It is as if Adobe assumes their products are without peer - so the sales team can take its customers for granted. I recently subscribed to the $19.99/month for Acrobat pro. I inquired if I wanted to upgrade to the full Creative Cloud for $49.99/month how could I upgrade. I received a wide spectrum of bizarre responses that ranged from, n you can not upgrade to you must first cancel your Acrobat subscription, pay the termination fee - and then create a new subscription for the entire Creative Cloud. Each sales rep seemed very tenuous at best and when I would inquiry further that it did not sound right - then they all would be very snarky and sarcastic. I was shocked at the level of unprofessional behavior from your sales team. It is as if Adobe does not have a culture of personal accountability when it comes to dealing with the customer.
I fine it very odd if Adobe is serious about providing CLoud Services, why it does not make the subscription model more flexible and upgradable for the customer. I am also not sure why Adobe does not make this something that a customer can simply do on their own by logging into their account. Evernote, Dropbox, Google - these are all services that allo the cusotmer to upgrade to more features and services online in a matter of seconds - as opposed to forcing customers to call in that crazy phone menu hell - then deal with snarky phone reps that sound unsure of themselves but then get upset when you ask follow up questions.

Attached is the letter I sent to correspondance, I haven't heard back from
them so I don't know if it has been addressed yet.
I was with Sprint for over 10 years, when I changed to Verizon my bill went
up, however I was willing to stick it out because the customer service was
so much better. I have been very surprised at the service I have gotten
through all of this.
I really didn't want to leave that post on the community board, but I was
not getting any help. However, today, someone was able to help me get the
Asurion claim for my sons phone. Kudos to that rep. It amazes me how I can
speak with 3-4 people, give them all the same information and EACH AND
EVERYONE of them gives me a different answer. I had spoken with probably 4
people before the one today and gave them the same information (probably
more) and not one of them resolved the problem the way this one did nor as
promptly!
Thank you for following up with me, I hope you can help me get these
matters resolved.

Is there anywhere to file a formal complaint about poor customer service in billing?

I would prefer a physical address or email address but I can voice it out on Twitter if preferred. I have had Verizon for FIFTEEN years. Non stop. 15 loyal years. Plus we have Fios and have had that for 4 years. I give Verizon a considerable chunk of my money. That being said, when we switched our bank accounts a few months back I made a mistake and picked the wrong account for our payment on the online payment system for Verizon. In fact I did it 2x. Which caused the payment to decline because we don't use that bank. I was rushed and made a mistake. Due to this I now have to get out cash and go into a Verizon Store and pay. This is craziness. And yes I am aware I can also call and dole out my credit card number to you over the phone. While that seems like a safe thing to do...... I prefer not to. Also I travel internationally for work which makes the call and the going to a store even more difficult. So as any reasonable person I call Verizon Customer Service thinking there must be some fix to this after all I have been with them so long. Well the first person admitted to me it could be overridden and transferred me to his supervisor who just outright refused. So there is your answer, Verizon does not care about loyalty or the 15 years of current payments. I want this addressed further and want to file a complaint. I also will leave Verizon the first chance I get, cell and cable. Amazing that a business can thrive with such poor customer service. Other companies I patronize recognize loyalty and reward it. Not Verizon. Lesson learned. I will be sure to spread this word far and wide. This could have been a simple resolution costing nothing for Verizon.

New router WRT160N, but still same poor signal!!

Hi all,
Been having issues with my wireless signal being poor and/or intermitent. I won't pretend to be computer literate, but I asked a Techie friend about this, and he suggested that I but a new router with the "N" signal.
My desktop signal is fine, but i have 3 laptops, and can be 30 feet away and get a fair/poor signal. When I go into the bedroom, which is upstairs, and in the furthest distance away from the router, the signal gets even weaker.
My Techie tried everything to bump up the signal, trying all channels, and even moved the router around the room. No luck!!
My house isn't made of steel, so there is no logical explanation for this... is there?
Please help me, and remember...I'm not real swarthy with the computer jargon,
thanks very much

Try to change the Wireless Settings on your Router as mentioned below, i think it will improve the wireless signal strength on your computers.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbors network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Unacceptable - Poor Customer Service - Liars - Crooks

Seems like I'm not alone with reading all these issues.
From a corporate standpoint, Verizon wireless' customer service is extremely poor! The cheapest excuse is that someone will call you and that your credits will be applied when no one follows through.
I had a bill for over 1G. An amount that I had never received while in any phone service - let alone anywhere else. Apparently after speaking with more than 20 representatives, my plan was screwed up when it was changed over. No kidding?!?! On top of that, I was charged a $599.99 phone replacement fee over a phone that "I thought" was returned and taken care of 2 months ago. So I thought...
Previously I had a Droid Razr Maxx, which was garbage! I returned a brand new phone for a used one over 7 times. You would think that as much as Verizon robs of you, you would receive a brand new phone when having issues. Wrong! They greed of money only offers you used phones and they have the nerve to convince you that they are not. After the 7th time of replacing the phone - I had gone personally to the Verizon store and expressed to them my dilemma. The representative who assisted me suggested that I call Verizon and request a different brand. I did as suggested as soon as I arrived home that same day and I was sent the Samsung SIII. At this point, I had told the representative to cancel my order for the replacement of the Droid since they were sending me the Samsung. Two months later, I'm still fighting a $599.99 charge over something that I thought was taken care of. You would think that after 7 times, this would be second nature to me in knowing exactly what I need to do with replacement phones. Besides this, they are asking for verification over something that was done and settled with...so I thought.
The following is the calling log I have gathered thus far. Not to include the calls I previously made prior to the 12th:
3-12-13 – Cory Representative stated my phone plan would sum up to $126.20. Two supervisors verified the information was correct and credits should be applied. Still waiting...
3-16-13 – Zack Representative. Credits pending.
3-19-13 – Rodriguez Representative stated credits pending, requested and transferred to a supervisor.
3-19-13 Supervisor – Ebony (Washington State) ***$599.99 credit to be applied*** Ebony stated that because of company protocol, she could not process a credit for more than $600 and that it would take a couple of days for the credit to be applied to my account. She ensured me that she would return my call personally and that once the credit is processed, my account should amount to $124.00 as promised by the previous rep. Since then, I have not received a call from Ebony.
Throughout the week, I kept receiving messages from Verizon in regards to interruption of service till the Friday, March 22nd where I received a voicemail stating they would disconnect my service if a payment was made.
3-22-13 Spoke to Dorothy representative who gave me a number of a supervisor named Marcy and apparently gave me her direct number at 585-XXX-XXXX. Since then I have called this number and I've received nothing but voicemail as if the phone is shut off and never turned on. If you ask me, I was fooled again into a bogus number.
3-24-13 Voicemail to Marcy
3-25-13 Voicemail to Marcy
3-25-13 Spoke to yet another supervisors who I had re-explain my story and to no avail was useless.
3-25-13 Spoke to Michael representative – stated that Ebony tried calling me 1:50pm on March 25, 2013. I find that hard to believe when there was no message or phone call recorded. No surprised! Michael ensured me that Ebony would try again the following day, March 26 at 1:00pm.
3-26-13 Spoke to another representative who transferred me to the fraudulent department who again, was useless and had the nerve to tell me that I shouldn't of waited 2 months to take care of the situation. I'm sorry, did he not look at my records of calling several times since the charges were posted. I'm sorry, this reflects the poor customer service of a company that cannot get there act together and resolve their discrepancies to rob customers. I don't understand how promises are constantly made that are not fulfilled, incorrect information is given and supervisors have no clue of what their responsibilities or authorities are.
3-26 – Spoke to yet another representative; Michele who stated Ebony would follow up at 11pm. What company contacts their customers in the wee hours of the night? Then she changed the information and that it would be by 9pm. Then she stated that she couldn't promise me that she would call. On top of that, I'm not sure if I should hold my breath since anyone who claims they'll call or follow up with an email on the credits does not follow thru. In addition, they have no idea who the people are - they can't give out information and they themselves cannot contact them. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

You spoke to Ebony in Washington, the 585 area code is in upstate NY...when you call customer service you get connected to whatever agent is available to take your call in whatever call center across the country. The agents and supervisors don't know each other and they probably are not actual Verizon Wireless employees but work for competing call center companies which staff hundreds of people rotating shifts throughout the day. My advice, quit waiting or expecting a call back from this one person. For all you know Ebony took a job at the AT&T store as a manager and you will never hear from her again.
If you are waiting for credit wait until you get your bill and see if credit has been applied to that. Log into you account online. I understand that you are trying to get a problem resolved but you've got to just block off some time and call customer service. Stay on the line with the agent you are connected to initially and don't ask for anyone else or to speak with a supervisor right away. If they have to put you on hold let them but do not ask them to call you back or as for someone else to call you back. Honestly, I would never buy it if they said they would personally return my call.

Poor, Poor, Poor Customer Service

December 18, 2012
Lowell C. McAdam
{edited for privacy}
Annual Account Value: Approximately $6,000.00 annually
Dear Mr. McAdam:
I am a Verizon FIOS customer with a bundle (landline, wireless, cable, Internet) who has been with your organization for almost 10 years who is writing to let you know of my extreme dissatisfaction with your Verizon customer service (or lack of it), which seems to have deteriorated beyond repair. I will try to keep this brief and to the point, but I have had unresolved phone issues for almost a year now that no one in your organization can fix.
1)    The first landline number I received from you all was the end recipient on a “robo-call” list where I would receive hundreds of phone calls a day, even though I immediately signed up for the “Do Not Call” list upon receipt of the number. It was obviously a bad number that needed to be removed from your system. After a very long time (months or even a year), I switched numbers after much time unsuccessfully spent researching and trying to fix this problem.
2)    On the second landline number that we implemented, which we had for almost a year, someone had hijacked our home phone line (perhaps a hacker, no one knows) and was using it to dial callers in our local Tampa area market. Needless to say, we received many threatening and obscene phone calls in return (when they hit re-dial), which we have documented. We have spent countless hours each week with various customer service representatives (and various other individuals when the call was escalated) providing them with the Caller ID information and the Caller ID name trying to resolve the issue. Over time, I probably spoke with 10 or so different individuals on this issue, none of whom seemed to know how to fix the problem.
There was one representative who said a network engineer would put a “digital bug” in our FIOS box to find out who was performing this fraudulent activity so that we could correct the issue. When nothing happened, no communications, nothing, I called back and yet another customer service rep assured he was escalating this issue to the “War Room” and they would fix the issue so I did not have to change my number again. He promised the issue would be resolved in no more than 5 days, or at the very least, some form of communication would occur. This was weeks ago and I never heard from him or anyone else in your organization with any form of follow-up.
3)    After months and months of trying to resolve this issue, finally, in defeat, I requested a phone number change after learning it is virtually impossible and cost-prohibitive to “unbundle” the services (which I am pretty sure is illegal). Both this number and my old number have a “disconnected” message on them when dialed now.
4)    Now I am with Verizon’s “Order Escalation” team to execute a simple phone number change. I requested the phone number to be changed on Friday of last week and it is Tuesday and the number still DOES NOT work. I am currently with your “Order Escalation Team” to fix what should have been a 24-hour-turnaround.
5)    After all this, one might expect a fair discount to their account, but I have never been given one or offered one, even when I ask.
We spend more than $6,000.00 with you annually. This may not amount to a lot to you in the scheme of things, but I would hope you will care enough to rectify these issues so that we do not have to change carriers, or worse, look into possible legal options. I am sure you probably do not care and you say to yourself, “So what? This is only one customer,” but if you go online, you will see what legions of customers are saying. You might be the “big dog” now, but when you falter, and all companies with this low degree of customer service do, just remember that giants fall hardest of all.

Fellow subscriber,
As I understand your post... you have issues with 2 different phone numbers.
1. Line 1, You got lots of calls that weren't for you.
2. Line 2, A robo-dialer is faking your number on caller-id when it dials out.
While I understand your frustration with this situation, I also understand why you weren't getting the help you wanted from Verizon. Having been in the phone industry since I was young and skinny (Mid 80's); I can confidently inform you that other than offering a new number, neither Verizon nor any other phone company can fix these issues, both caused entirely by a 3rd party.
You cited poor customer service... what did you expect from your phone company to do about the 3rd parties abusing your phone number?

Poor signal/loss of channels

Hello all. I recently lost BBC1 due to 'poor signal/lost connection' but all other channels (including BBC) were ok. The next day ITV1 channel lost due to same issue (but again, not all ITV channels). Checked aerial leads ok which they were. Just done factory reset after googling for advice and after scanning for channels again have lost numerous other channels, including 1-10 (first channel now listed is 11).
Any advice for me please? Please bear with me - I am not very technical!
Thanks

Welcome to the forum. Purging the channel list can sometimes restore missing channels. Remove the aerial and do a channel scan, which will clear the list. Then replace the aerial and scan again.

Going back to Comcast--Verizon poor customer service

Well, I'm going to have to terminate Verizon FIOS. I switched from Comcast, thinking the internet speed would be higher and overall service would be better, but so far my experience with Verizon has been terrible. Although (according to my contract) the fiber optic line would be run underground to my house prior to installation, it was not. In fact, on the day the service was installed, there was no cable so there was a delay of several hours waiting for a cable drop to the house so installation could proceed. A cable drop means the cable was run to the house above ground. Since the installation on April 1 (yeah, I know) Verizon has "promised" the cable would be buried on 5 different dates. Each day came and went, with no cable burial. Furthermore, there was no call from anyone to let me know the cable would not be buried on the day as promised. This has been a problem, because they require our dogs to be kept out of the back yard so they can do the cut over with the buried cable. This means we either had to stay home so we could confine the dogs when the installer showed up, or keep the dogs locked in the garage for several hours if we had to leave. Don't bother calling their tech support line to resolve the problem--their standard response is to say they will contact the department that schedules the in ground installation and I would get a call back withing 24 to 48 hours. I've been told this 3 times on 3 different occasions, and never had a call back. Yesterday I was told that the contractor would be out today to bury the cable, and they even had a work order number to confirm the appointment. Nobody showed up today, and no call back.
Now, Comcast may not be superior to Verizon FIOS, but in the 2 years I was with them they never lied to me. Verizon has lied to me (unintentionally, perhaps) at least 5 times so far, and no one has ever had the courtesy to contact me when an appointment was broken to let me know it would not be kept.
I plan on terminating the agreement with Verizon and going back to Comcast. According to my contract, Verizon was required to install the FIOS cable to my house--prior to installation--in the same manner as the copper wire; aerial or buried. Well, the copper phone line and Comcast cable are underground, but the FIOS cable is still lying on top of the ground. Breach of contract.
PS--although the service I signed up for promises internet speed up to 10 Mbps, the fastest I've seen so far has been closer to 5. Comcast was faster.

A poster wrote: "IMO all these Unions & Contractors should be gone. "
The unions have nothing to do with this...let's keep the blame where it belongs. 1) unethical, unreliable, and unresponsive contractors, 2) lack of oversight from Verizon, and 3) unresponsive, no follow up/less than stellar Verizon customer service.
Verizon...or better...Ma Bell....was at one time THE BEST SERVICE PROVIDER BAR NONE. That sadly has gone the way of the do do bird...They've dumbed down their techs, compartmentalized their "mindbank". There are very few techs who know more than "one thing" anymore. When companies slash budgets to remain competitive...invariably customer service and repair suffer...
I too have some issues with Verizon's customer service. I was a land line customer for well over 20 yrs until I had a repair issue and was told on 5 different occasions that a repair tech would be out to do the repair...they never came...they never called. My screen name is dtmfman...for anyone who doesn't know it means dual tone multi frequency...in lay terms...dial tone....Yes I've been a voice person for well over 30 years....so after 5 missed repair visits and no calls....I disco'd my land line service and now use only my cell. I'm sure at the time they (Verizon) probably thought they wouldn't miss my $40+/month income....but more and more people are fed up with poor customer service and have followed my exodus.
Back on topic...Yes sadly the buried cable issue seems to remain a big problem for Verizon. It happened to me. But..I have to say...once it did get resolved....I haven't had many problems...I too was a comcast customer...but I would NEVER go back unless Fios was discontinued...or they finally have competition in the "fiber to the house" arena.
Right now...my issues are questionable data transfer speed....and of course less than stellar customer service...
Good luck....
