Running iOS 7 beta 3, I've noticed decreased Verizon service coverage.
I'm an iOS developer and thus am running iOS 7 beta on my iPhone 5. Once thing I've noticed which may not be directly OS-related is a notable decrease in service coverage. Places where I previously had 3/4G, I now have one or no bars. This is widespread and consistent since the upgrade from iOS 6.
Obviously this could be an OS-related problem, but I just wanted to check whether there is anything on Verizon's end that might be throttling down connections from the beta OS.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Either do a reset or reset network settings.
reset: hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
If that doesn't help. settings - general - reset - reset network settings.
You will not lose any data doing both of those suggestions.

I'm currently running ios 5 beta on my iphone 4 and when i woke up this morning my phone had decided to automatically update the software OTA. After connecting to wifi and switching on location i proceeded to follow the instructions 'slide to setup'. I was informed that it may take 3 minutes to activate phone but was then presented with the screen 'Could not Activate iphone', this is because the activation server is unavailable. Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
Many thanksCan anybody shed some light on this for me?
Not here. iOS5 beta is only available to registered developers, and discussing it publicly outside of the private developer forums is a violation of the non-disclosure agreement you signed to access the beta. -
The company I work for runs Microsoft Exchange 2010 servers on premise. I have an Exchange account configured on my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.2. I am finding that if I choose to Delete an event from the Calender app on the iphone, the event is being removed from the iphone, and from the Exchange server, but the other people that are invited to the meeting are not receiving cancellation notices, nor is the event being deleted from their Exchange calendars. Why not?
I had the same experience with a new iPhone 5 that I bought last week. Did not have a chance to measure battery life before the 6.0.2 upgrade installed but I set up my phone exactly like my 4S and immediately started running out of power after short periods. Went to Xmas get together with fully charged 5 and 4S. Heading home the iPhone 5 shut down for low battery and the 4S had 65% power. Both phones had two half phone calls on then and no data usage.
That night I fully charged the iPhone 5 and, without lighting it up, put it on my night table. Next morning I picked it up and looked at battery indicator and I had 42% charge with NO activity!
Tried it again next night and wound up with 37% charge. (Slept longer).
Today I called the carrier and reactivated the 4S. Took the 5 to Apple Store and they kindly gave me choice of new replacement phone or refund. I took the refund. Uniquely, the Apple Store said it was Verizon CDMA phones that were coming back.
The are other strings on this with temporary solutions, but from my experience with 7 firmware changes on an HTC 4G phone the problem will continue because the solution will be hardware caused. We are in the days where RTM means Rush to Market - not Release To Manufacturing.
I fear the only solution is to either wait for the next model (I did not notice a really major change in performance over the 4S in LTE heavy Seattle area) - or switch to another manufacturer.
It might be useful for these forums to indicate if you have a GSM or CDMA phone to see which have more problems.

Does iOS 6 beta 4 is the final official iOS 6?? i am not getting any update for my mobile (which is running iOS 6 beta 4 ) to update to official iOS 6
Take your backups and copy your photos off, then put your device in DFU mode to do a restore.
-
I heard that ios 6 was released. I'm running the beta 4. However when I go to upgrade it already says I have the latest software. Since the beta isn't finalezed how do I get around this? Do I have to reinstall ios 5?
you need to back up your iphone to itunes,
then goto recovery mode
1. with the cable plugged to computer,shut down phone, then keep power and home button pressed till u get to recovery mode
2. itunes will detect ur phone in recovery mode.
3. select recover and update
4. restore backup after recovery/update
voila.. ios 6 full version ;-)

ICal calendars not syncing with iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.2
I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.2
I'm using iCal on my MBP running Mac OS 10.6.4
I have a MobileMe account.
Never had an issue with calendars syncing with the iPhone previously.
I am using MobileMe Calendar Beta. This now displays my calendars in iCal under my MobileMe account name (eg. [email protected]) rather than the 'On My Mac' section that it use to.
I have five separate calendars in iCal on the Mac all named appropriately (eg. Work, Personal etc.) and all that appears on the iPhone is one calendar named 'Calendar' with no events in it??
I've used MobileMe (.Mac) and iPhone syncing for years and have them set up as I always have.
Does anyone have the same issues? Does anyone have any constructive advise?
Thanks
JeffHad the same issue. Just went thru a chat session with Apple support and my issue go resolved. Posting the transcript of the chat session below. Hope this helps:
Wendy G. : Welcome to MobileMe Devendra!
Wendy G. : I see that you had some issues with syncing after you obtained an iPhone 4?
Wendy G. : I apologize!
Wendy G. : Can you tell me a little more about what is happening please?
Devendra : Thanks, somewhat frustrated as all was working fine till I was on my iPhone 3GS. last week switched to iPhone 4 and since then have been having syncing problems with contacts as well as iCal
Wendy G. : OK, I apologize!
Wendy G. : Do you have a complete set of contacts and calendars on the Mac right now?
Wendy G. : What version of Mac OS X do you have please?
Devendra : 10.6.4. i have all the data on my Mac
Wendy G. : OK, thanks!
Wendy G. : Please make a quick backup. Please open Address book and iCal on your Mac. Please go here: File>Export>Archive iCal/Address Book. Please save to your desktop.
Devendra : ok, just a sec
Wendy G. : Thanks!
Devendra : its done
Wendy G. : OK, thank you Devendra!
Wendy G. : Click the Magnifying glass at the top right of your monitor and type in "iSync" - when it appears in the list of found items - click on it. After iSync opens - Select the Preferences from the iSync file menu and then Click the Reset Sync History button.
Devendra : done
Wendy G. : Thank you! Please click the Apple logo and open the system preferences. Click the MobileMe icon and click on the sync tab and the advanced button. Click the "Reset Sync Data" button. Choose just the data you want to sync from the list. Make sure the arrow is pointing the right way (from the Mac to the Cloud) and select "Replace".

Devendra : yes I have 4.0.2
Wendy G. : OK, thank you.
Devendra : pl wait...its syncing
Wendy G. : OK, no problem
Devendra : While its syncing..what's the next step?
Wendy G. : Once the syncing has completed, we will take the iPhone and go to Settings>Mail Contacts and Calendars.
Wendy G. : We will first switch the Contacts only to "off" and select "Delete" data.
Wendy G. : Then we will go back to Settings>Mail Contacts and Calendars and switch only the contacts to "On" and "Do not Merge" data, but we will need to wait until the syncing is complete OK?
Devendra : ok..its done on the Mac. i am on the Mail, Contacts and Calendar page of the phone. from where do I switch the contacts off?
Wendy G. : Please tap your MobileMe account name and the sliders will appear.
Devendra : After selecting "Do Not Merge", should I select "Keep on My iPhone"?
Wendy G. : No, please delete, the data will merge fresh from www.me.com, which is what we want!
Devendra : done
Wendy G. : OK, very good!
Wendy G. : Please go to Settings>Mail Contacts and Calendars, tap your MobileMe account and then select "Calendars" only.
Wendy G. : Please switch them to off, "Do not Merge" and "Delete"
Wendy G. : Once that is complete, then you will switch them to "On" using the same process, by selecting "Do not Merge" once again and "Delete" from the phone.
Devendra : Switched it off but after turning On again, it didnt ask me for anything, simply the switch turned to On
Wendy G. : OK, thank you.
Wendy G. : Please place a test contact and a test event on the iPhone, and also place on your Mac, to verify if the syncing has resolved OK.
Devendra : ok, pl hold on
Wendy G. : OK, take your time.
Devendra : my contacts list on the phone is empty
Wendy G. : Yes, that is expected.
Wendy G. : Please put a test contact there and the information will refresh from www.me.com
Wendy G. : Also please verify your iPhone is set this way:
Wendy G. : Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>MobileMe account, tap it>Fetch new data>Set your Push to "on" and select "every 15 minutes please.
Devendra : yes, its that way only

Devendra : Bingo! Its syncing fine now. -
I get a message that says "This version of pre-release ios will expire in 7 days" What should I do? I am currently running ios 8 GM and I can't update to the public release version. I am stuck in the beta. Itunes will not let me restore my iphone or update it. PLZ HELP ME
Wondering if you have a current Backup on iTunes ...if yes you could put the iPhone in DFU Mode by holding the Home button while you plug in the lightning cable. Then you could Restore the iPhone to Factory Settings on 8.0.2 and after a full Restore go back and then Restore from your Backup. This happens every time a public release occurs. Many folks on the Golden Master or otherwise in the AppleSeed program with a Beta version for some reason don't move to the official release ...then the software time-bomb hits and they can't upgrade.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

My iPod Touch 5th generation (running IOS 8.1.2)...
My iPod Touch 5th generation (running IOS 8.1.2), when connected to my iMac (running OS X Yosemite) will charge, but is not regained, or for that matter even noticed by the iTunes application. The iPod will sync to dropbox when connected, but nothing else. On the device, it will ask if to "trust" the iMac, I naturally hit that it should, but still no change.
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port

iPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?
What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions -
Full HD (1920 x 1080) through Apple digital AV Adapter not working on iPad 2 running iOS 5.1.1
Hi,
can anybody shed some light on this?
I remember being able to play back FULL HD (1920 x 1080) clips with the AVPlayer-HD app with iOS 4.x
Now, running iOS 5.1.1 it does only play back up to 1280 x 720.
Also, the quality of the mirrored iPad2 screen looks as if it was a composite connection only, very unsharp.
This was diferent - much better before. I used to do presentations like this.
If this is an iOS5.1.1 problem, does someone know a way to downgrade to older versions without jailbreaking it?
All the best,
theunknown_uweIt works just fine with me (5.1.1, iPad 3 (I don't think the iPad 2 is any different), latest AVPlayerHD, MP$ hardware playback). What do you see in the center of the screen when you tap the TV icon on the center right, right under the speed lever? 1920 * 1080 just like in the screenshot below? (When the res is left at VGA, the print would be 640 * 480):

Please help.. And yes if there is a problem will it be changed i mean will my ipad be fixed or changed by apple?
While none of us here can say with certainly, it's likely that iOS 5.1.1 is the last version of iOS that an iPad 1 will run.
As to a "waste of money", has your iPad stopped working just because a new version of iOS was released that the iPad won't run? Our iPad 1s haven't just ceased fallen over, even though they can only run iOS 5.1.1, and are in valuable use every day. But perhaps yours did indeed somehow stop being useful. If so, I'd recommend selling it and buying something else that you think would better suit your expectations.

IPad 1 running IOS 5.1.1 not working with home WIFI, but everywhere else
I have an iPad 1 supporting 3G and WIFI running IOS 5.1.1 and up to now it has worked great. We recently had the cable modem in the house upgraded and the box included a better WIFI system than we had before. After installation, all the laptops in the house worked great except my iPad. One of the kickers is that when my wife came home with her iPad 1 running IOS 4, it worked great too. And when I've gone to a hotspot, it also gets connected well.
The symptoms are that the WIFI menu will see my home network as an option. When I select it, I get a spinner and the left side bar will indicate that it is using that network, but the spinner never completes. The upper left will mostly stay as 3G and will occasionally go to a WIFI setting, but nothing will connect. If I tap on the details, I usually don't get DHCP connection and get an IP address. Once in a great while, I can connect up and have access, but it is incredibly slow and usually fades off in a minute.
I have tried turning off the iPad, resetting network settings, telling it to forget the network and try again and reset the iPad. I have removed all security from the router, reduced down the encryption to WEP like the old wireless router and still nothing. Of course the Cable company says it is the iPad problem and I tend to agree.
My next step is to erase and start over, which I do not wish to do if I don't have to.
Any ideas?Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

MY ipad3 running iOS 8.1 does not upgrade to 8.3. I have downloaded 8.3 but when I press install now and choose agree, nothing happens for hours. Any help?.
You are in the wrong discussion forum, but ok:
-- You say it is running 8.1 now, but your profile says 6.1.3, plse update your profile.
-- Did you download in Mac iTunes? or directly in the iPhone?
if in Mac iTunes: check the following Finder location: Startupdisk->Homefolder (yourname)->Library->iTunes->iPadSoftwareUpdates : the downloaded file should be there and be complete the extension should be .ipsw, if it is not there or not complete you should download again.
if in the iPhone: notice that the install phase and verifying phase and restarting phase need (good) internet connection. -
IOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen
After installing iOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS is stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen. I can turn the phone off by holding the top button. But the phone boots straight to the flashing situation. It doesn't appear in iTunes, and I haven't succeeded in putting into recovery mode.
in the end ... i did it too.
for sure, the problem is not related to OTA update
this is my recipe, even if i think that the behaviour is a kind of random and all the recipes given here do not really help
- absolutely needed: cross your finger before running the procedure
- leave the battery run flat
- open itunes
- connect usb
- when it starts booting, press home and keep it pressed
- if it loops (it will ...), try to turn it off with power button while keeping home
- after a few tries, it will not reboot and it will go into recovery mode BUT WITH SCREEN BLACK (you see it is in recovery mode in itunes)
- upload ios5b7
anyway ... this time it was a bad release by apple ...
and i think this thread will become very "popular" in the next days
