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.

No sound or very poor one from front speakers T7900 system

I have a T7900 system and sudenly I have no more sound or a very poor one from the front speakers (left and right). The others (central, rear and subwoofer are working fine). I tried all configurations posible and from the control panel but still no result.
Anyone can help?

Hi,
Try swapping the front speakers with the others, this should tell you if the speakers are faulty. You might want to get in touch with support for further assistance on this.

HT2844 My front headphone jack does not work when connecting a head phone to a new mac pro desktop computer. The sound still comes from the speakers. Any solutions?

The front headphone jack on my new mac pro desktop computer does not transmit sound when connecting a headphone or ear buds. The sound still comes from the speakers and is not redirected to the head phone. The port has never worked. Any solutions?

okay, try option-clicking on the speaker icon on the top of your screen. That should bring up a list of sound output options. including headphone. You could try messing around with Audio MIDI. It may be possible that the thing is still stuck inside the headphone jack. Careful use of a toothpick may get it unstuck. I dunno, I've never had a problem with the headphone jack. If all else fails, call Apple or take 'er in for an appointment

When I select a menu item, the highlight is light blue and the item font color goes white. It is very difficult to read? Any solution?

When I select Bookmarks, the menu item (Bookmarks) is highlighted in light gray color; and the letters of the work itself (Bookmarks) turns white. This same thing happens when you go into individual bookmark selections. It is very difficult to read. Are there any alternatives that can be set by the user?

Are you using a standard Windows theme?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Pavilion 23xi has a very bright backlight and very poor contrast

My Pavilion 23xi has a contrast like screen of cheap price netbook, may be 1:140 may be 1:100.
No any result after all attempt of ajastments:
- no when contrast =100,
- no when contast = 50
-brigtness from 35 to 55 is comfort for me
-gamma off
-dynamic contrast off and on (small difference)
-preset = text
I can see only grey screen, it is not same to black!
On this photo you can see the trouble (white balance of monitor is full correct, some blue copol is only photo's problem)
What can I do without transportation to dealer (I live in Russia, very big country for comfort technical service)
Engineer menu of HP 23xi is very poor, there is not any useful items to reduce the LED emmitance

Hi since I put the new update on my ipad. The sound quality on the ipad is gone very poor it's sound very tinny. I just wondering if there is going to be a update to sort it out. Thanks

Hello Tollykev,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you have some audio issues with your iPad after the iOS 7 update.
I want to recommend the following troubleshooting from the article named:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
Regards,
Sterling

L505-S5990 Very poor sound.

L505-S5990 sound volume very low. My wife and I have the same laptops both have very poor sound. Is there any fix driver etc.

The L505-S5990 laptop (and other models in the L505 series line which use the Realtek HD audio drivers) have not been configured properly when they were initially shipped. This is a two step process.
First, either update to the latest Toshiba audio drivers via the Toshiba Support web site, or by downloading the latest Realtek HD Audio drivers from the Realtek website.
Second, once the audio drivers have been updated, enable "Loudness Equalization" on either the Start --> Hardware and Sound --> Realtek HD Audio Manager --> Sound Effects tab, then click OK to save the setting change. Or on the Start --> Hardware and Sound --> Sound --> Speaker Properties (select Speakers then the Properties button) --> Enhancements tab, scroll down the list of sound effects to enable "Loudness Equalization" then select the OK button to save the setting changes.
Once the drivers have been updated and the "Loudness Equalization" has been enabled the system sound audio level is much louder, however you may find the DVD and Audio CD audio levels are still low. No real fix for that issue yet from Toshiba other than to experiment with the various sound settings.

Hi I have 15" i7 2.4GHz 4GB/750GB Dec 2011. Anyone else finding battery time very poor?

Charging seems to be okay and goes up to 100% with no problems. When running on battery it seems to run down very quickly. Typical was yesterday started at 97%. I only typed 7 pages of word processing, a little bit of surfing and email and by late afternoon battery was down to 6%. In between it was eother on standby or off. But over the few weeks I have had it the battery does seem to be running down quickly. My wife has 13" MacBook and battery seems much better. I see that my MacBook Pro spec is less battery time than the MacBook 13" but this does seem very poor indeed. Is this typical in your experience? Anyone done anything about it? Thanks

Actually my MBP 15" i7 2.2 battery life is very good. And that is with a SSD, original drive in a Optibay, 8GB RAM.
I do turn off bluetooth, set the screen brightness down a little and have it set to only use the intergrated graphics when on battery.
You really don't say how long it was, length of time, from 97% to 6% but even when the system is asleep it uses power.

My iphone5s continually drops calls and has very poor sound for callers sooo disappointed compared with iPhone 4 from which I've just upgrade

I am so disappointed as my iPhone 5 s is very poor for calls and repeatedly drops calls. I've contacted Orange and done a reset to factory settings with no improvement.These calls are to landlines. My iphone4 was excellent in comparison . I've requested an Apple support call tomorrow - any other suggestions or similar experiences? Call bars are much lower too on this new phone and wifi fails too with frequent fail to connect to server messages. I so regret having this phone..

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

My MBP 2011 can't detect microphone, why?

My internal microphone works perfectly fine but when I insert an external microphone, my MBP fails to detect it. When I go to System Preferences>Sound>Input, nothing changes in the "Line In" area when I plug in my microphone. When I try to speak into my microphone, it's not picking up any sound at all. My headphone port works fine.
NOTE: My MBP 2011 went in for a logic board replacement/repair 2 weeks ago at an Apple Store. Is it possible this microphone issue is caused by a logic board problem?

This because line level is not Mic level, line level requires about 60 dbv/dbu or more or less of electrical gain (depending on voltage in to load specifications, db short for decibel is not necessarily a measuremet of SPL, sound pressure level, it is a mathematical equation reducing complex equations to a unit of measurement to use in math expressions...very simply put) than a microphone can generate.
You would need a mic pre-amp/mixer to provide a line signal, a mic can not provide anywhere near this level.
This is a very simplified explanation of the electrical therory at work here, and I don't think you are probably interested reading quite complex math equations that "crunch these numbers.
If you do an online search you will find a plethora of pre-amps that will boost this level up to line level, or you can look in to something like the Griffin iMic USB interface which will allow you to use a mic level signal into your USB port easily and affordably.
