Problems recovering signal when iPhone 5 lost it. Bug?

Hello,
I'm experiencing random problems with my iPhone 5 when I lost the gsm signal (i.e. When I go down to a parking). When I go up to the street the iPhone cant recover the signal and 'no service' message appears. The problem happen randomly, sometimes the signal appears again.
I think that this may be a bug because there are three different iphones 5 in my family and I have experienced the probem with all. The three iphones are in 6.0.2 and the cell operator is different in each one.
Anybody has experienced problems like this?

I originally bought my phone, well actually pre-ordered it, from ATT here in the US. I had issues with the connection loss from day 1 of getting it activated. I spent probably about 30 hours over the course of 6 months on the phone with ATT and Apple support. Apple always blamed ATT and ATT blamed Apple. I had a friend who worked for ATT and he went through all my stuff that ATT handles and got it all set up properly and I still had the issue. After that I concentrated on Apple.
I did, however, a couple weeks ago get my phone replaced after spending 2 hours on the phone with Apple arguing that I was still having the issue and Apple trying to push the blame to ATT and the support person even went as far as to put "DO NOT REPLACE PHONE" in my support notes, the rep in the Apple Store didn't notice me reading the notes over his shoulder. Long story short, phone replaced and still have the issue.
I've noticed if I'm on 4 bar LTE and I get a phone call it will drop to 1 bar 4G while it is ringing and stay that way for about 5 minutes after they leave a voicemail. I have officially decided to switch to the Galaxy S4 because I am tired of having a phone that doesn't work, which is very dangerous. Prime example. I live in Oklahoma, where a tornado hit 3 miles from my house. My wife called me to warn me. After that phone call I could not send a text, EVEN WHILE ON WIFI, or make a phone call. I spent 15 minutes resetting the phone and trying everything I could to get a call to her to tell her I was okay. I actually had to turn my xbox on and have a friend in another state call her for me to tell her I was okay and my phone wouldn't work. My brother, who lived 2 miles away had no issues with his ATT Galaxy S4 when I was having issues so it wasn't due to the storm. I recommend that if you have an Apple Iphone 5 that has issues, switch to the Galaxy S4 or another smart phone. I think there are more Iphone 5s with the connection issue then there are without connection issues.

  • Problems with signal when I receive a new yahoo-ma...

    hi - my phone is a nokia 5230
    I still receive a signal 24/7 when I get a new mail from my yahoo-account even though my settings in "Usersettings" for email is tagged "NO"?
    In "Usersettings" for sms I have tagged "Receive report" as I dont know how to set the phone back to the more the precise terms: "Receive Signal" or not when I am receiving an sms -
    Suddenly one day this option "Receive report" was my only option without me having changed anything...and the email settings used to be okay too earlier?
    I have switched the phone down and opened it again but it doesnt help?
    As I dont have nothing important on my phone I consider to reset to Factory settings but here is my only worry to install the free Ovimap again as it became a problem last I tried and the phone ended up being repared.

    Do you have sound in videos and other sites? Is it only Facebook that you don't get sound? You might have accidentally muted audio for Firefox. The article Knowledge Base article [[No sound in Firefox]] will show you how to check.

  • HT201210 I was in the middle of installing the new update using the wifi at a local restaurant when I lost the wifi signal and my iPhone shut down, and now I can't get into the phone. I only get the iTunes logo with the cable pic. What are my options now?

    Your only option is to connect your iPhone to your computer via USB (as the diagram indicates) and restore using iTunes.

    GoodReaderUSB originally worked by transferring files to a special location on a user’s iPhone, which iPhone’s GoodReader app was able to access. However, accessing this location was a violation of Apple’s iPhone SDK Agreement, because the app had to access files outside its own private storage space, which is forbidden by Apple.
    Because of this, your only choice to fix this. at this point, may be to restore your phone as a "new" device in itunes and NOT from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Unfortunately, ALL saved data on your phone will be lost.

  • My iphone 5 has a problem with signal

    My iphone 5 has a problem with signal, it always search for network. I had removed and plug sim card again but it doesn't work. Then I restore the iphone, and an exception was throw "... An unknown error has occured (3)."

    unknow error 3 means the computer has lost communication with the device during the restore. It can be anything from bad cable, USB port, phone hardware etc.
    Since your phone had a signal issue before, it would be your baseband chip faulty and when the restore tries to connect with the baseband chip to check (it does this when you restore) it waits till the chip responds then times out when it doesnt get any response. The restore will try this several times then eventually restart the phone to get out of the loop. As the phone gets restarted (or shutting off) itunes think the phone turned off and throws error 3.
    Go to apple if it's under warranty. If not try to find where they do chip replacement as this is not something that you can do yourself.

  • Why no signal when 3G enabled on iPhone 3GS

    For the longest time I was always getting NO SIGNAL when I enabled 3G on my iphone 3GS.  If I disabled 3G, then I got a great signal.
    Just in case some one else is baffled by this problem,  this is what consistently fixed the problem for me.  BTW, I am using Airvoice wireless (an AT&T MVNO).
    I called this 3G test mode #,  and it fixed my problem.
    1. Disable 3G  in  /Settings/General/Cellular
    2. Wait for carrier signal w/o 3G
    3. Dail 3001#12345#  ,  this returns an error message
    4. Enable 3G  in  /Settings/General/Cellular
    5. Wait for carrier signal w/ 3G
    Once this is done, I can power on and off at will and consistently get 3G service.  I only have to repeat these steps if I restored phone to defaults.  I have a few 3GS phones, and I only had this problem on some of them.

    your original post was about your 3GS. now your saying about an iphone 4?

  • Possible BUG? A problem with Safari on IPhone & IPad

    Hi all...
    I have a problem with safari on Iphone & Ipad, my animations are not working
    This is what the code does...
    Upon load an event fires and and the "ready" animation starts (its a box that gets bigger and smaller), but the animation will not work on IPhone & IPad when i have an SVG or PNG file anywhere within my composition..
    I know this sounds crazy so i have attached the sample code
    http://adobe.ly/1mw781A
    If you try deleting the "theProblem" (which is an SVG file) from the composition and then re-run it on Iphone & Ipad and you will see that it animates..
    This problem does NOT occur on any other browser
    With my limited knowledge i can only assume that it is something basic i have missed..
    Please if you could take a look i would be most gratefull!...
    many thanks
    Justin!

    I started thinking that maybe my home webserver was causing the issues..
    So i set a quick online one up and uploaded the testfile that you guys have access to here...
    LINK1: this is the edge composition WITH the svg file
    http://testsite1234.host22.com/test/events.html
    now the animation that originally worked in all browsers except safari refuses to work in any browser
    BUT if i re-load the page it works in chrome and firefox and IExplorer (is my problem something to do with my scripts?
    LINK2: this is the edge composition WITHOUT the svg file
    http://testsite1234.host22.com/test/events1.html
    as per usual this version works in all browsers because there is no svg file
    Please if anyone can help... now im completly lost...
    Im starting to think that it must be a server issue, are there any settings that i need to enable to make edge compositions run correctly...?
    many many thank!

  • IPhones lost contacts and e-mail when activesync server was down

    We have about 20 iPhone 3GS syncing to our Exchange 2003 Server running on Windows Small Business Server 2003.
    All iPhones have software 3.1
    All iPhones were setup to use ActiveSync using iPhone Configuration Utility
    Our Exchange server went down on a maintenance restart. When it was restarted we had some unknown failure to the ActiveSync functionality between IIS and Exchange. iPhones trying to sync got an HTTP 500 Error response, which I could see from the console log of the iPhone. The error message was:
    Thu Oct 15 14:43:09 unknown dataaccessd[22] <Warning>: EAS|connection died with error Error Domain=ASHTTPConnectionErrorDomain Code=500 "Operation could not be completed. (ASHTTPConnectionErrorDomain error 500.)" 0x174480
    Thu Oct 15 14:43:09 unknown dataaccessd[22] <Warning>: EAS|ASFolderSyncTask failed: Error Domain=ASHTTPConnectionErrorDomain Code=500 "Operation could not be completed. (ASHTTPConnectionErrorDomain error 500.)"
    We rebuilt the Internet settings on the small business server and got the ActiveSync functionality working again. But this was after 24 hours.
    All iPhones lost all e-mail during the 24 hours of ActiveSync downtime.
    Approximately 60% of the iPhones lost all contacts during the downtime.
    All iPhones kept their calendars during the downtime.
    Other ActiveSync clients running Windows Mobile 6.1 or Symbian on Nokia N82 did not delete their contacts or e-mails during the downtime.
    Is there any setting that governs this, may I say unexpected, behaviour? Makes it impossible to depend on iPhone e-mail - who knows when the Exchange Server will go down...
    Does anyone know why 40% of the iPhones kept their contacts while the other 60% deleted them? They have all been purchased together and set up in the exact same manner.
    I have tried to contact Apple support, but the automated voice just said that the network operator handles iPhone problems. The operator did not have a clue about Exchange servers and iPhones...
    Thank you in advance!
    Tobias

    Usually once items are removed from the server, they are gone for good. Sorry to hear about the loss of contacts. We would like to check though to see if they can be retrieved. So we can get more information from you, I have copied your post to our private support board. Please refer all correspondences to there from here on out.

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

  • My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud.  My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced.  I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

    My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud.  My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced.  I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.
