Signal Freezes Only on the EDGE Network While Sleeping

I live in a 3G area, but where I work I only get EDGE, so I know, with my phone, this is only an EDGE problem. Periodically through the day my phone will completely lose signal, where I otherwise always have full EDGE signal all day (at my desk at work), it will not start searching for a signal until I wake the phone up. So i.e., if I don't look at my phone from 1pm to 2pm, I won't get a text that was sent to me at 1:01pm until I wake the phone up and it finds signal again. Annoying.
Everything is up to date. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jason,
If you haven't already, try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
You can also restore(and update, if not updated) the iPhone and set it up as a new phone. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.
If the issue persists after restoring the iPhone, contact the cellular service provider and have them verify the SIM, service, and account are setup correctly.

Can you use the data while NOT on the EDGE network?

I am wondering if when I travel through SD and ND I will be able to use my data (email, web, maps...etc.) I am in Minneapolis on the EDGE network, but I'm concerned that in Sioux Falls, SD no a GPRS network I won't be able to use 1/2 the functions on my phone.
Before release the rumor was that it would work, but has anyone actually tried it yet?

So essentially you're asking... if there's no Wi-Fi or EDGE coverage will you be able to use the data network features of the phone?
In short... from my experience the answer appears to be "no, it won't work." Allow me to elaborate:
I disabled Wi-Fi access and found an EDGE dead spot where the phone could not connect to the EDGE data network but I could place a phone call. When I attempted to launch Mail and sync, I got a message saying that my IMAP server could not be reached. When attempted to launch a website, I received an error message stating that the server could not be reached.
End result, I was unable to use any of the data network features of the phone. So it would appear... that the answer is no. It will not use the basic GPRS undearlining network. However it's quite possible that your results may vary.

Is there a way to stop the Edge network from activating? Overseas Travel

I am travelling in Europe and I do not want the EDGE network to be activated. But I can't find a way to turn off the Edge network. At $1 per KB, this is going to get expensive. I am using WiFi when I can, but the rest of the time, it's on Edge and with Yahoo push email, I end up with 50+ KB per day of traffic.
Does anyone have any ideas? When I leave the wifi area, I turn off my email. But there still seems to be traffic on the edge network (under Settings > Usage). I prefer to do my email only in a wifi zone.
Anyone have any ideas?

I agree. I am currently in the UK and am contending with this. i turned off my e-mail as well but I will be contacting AT&T for a credit on all of the data transfer I invouluntarily incurred while here.

NO LUCK sending email (with Comcast) via the EDGE Network

Cannot Send E-Mail via EDGE Network
My primary email account is with Comcast, and using my iPhone with any Wi-Fi network I am successfully able to send/receive email.
However, using the EDGE network I cannot send email. I found a tip on appending a port number to the outgoing mail setting (smtp.comcast.net), but this didn't work either.
I consistently get one of these two error messages:
"Sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server"
-or-
"The connection to the server 'smtp.comcast.net' failed"
I can receive email with either EDGE or Wi-Fi networks.
Any suggestions? I need to be able to not only receive but also SEND email via the EDGE network.
Any help will be appreciated!
Tim

Your other option is to sign up for a free GMail account, and use their outgoing server. You need to create your account on the iPhone using the "Other" shortcut, which allows you to specify your comcast address, your comcast incoming mail server, but the GMail outgoing server. This will work with both Edge and WiFi.

How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can?

How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can? Mac OS 10.8.5

You can simply set your system preferences
Sound preference
output - to whatever your USB device/audio interface is
Your question seems a bit vague to me though. So can you actually inform us of what it is you are trying to do and give us examples with named kit.

Texting and actively using the edge network

if im actively using the edge network, like if im using an App like AOL Radio or searching on the web...and then someone texts me during that time, what happens to the text? will it show up after im done?....
i have the original iPhone

Yes, it will show up when you have finished actively accessing the web. It's a limitation of Edge.

Can't make an outgoing call on the edge network... WHY???!!!

So have full reception on the edge network and no matter where i am at, my 3g phone for the life of me wont make an outgoing call.
Anyone else having this issue?
Anyone know how to fix it?
I already restored my phone, reset the sim & have now resorted to turning it off and on to avail.

I have this exact issue and yes, if I have my 3G off I can make calls - don't need to re-try even once. As soon as I turn it on again, it might take me 10-15 redials until I get connected!!!

Updates fixed the problem

Does MMS disable if you're on the Edge network?

I am aware that MMS wont be ready till the late summer (or sometime there after)... but I just got my new iPhone 3gs yesterday (upgraded from a 2g) and I have been playing with all the new features. What bothers me is some parts of the town that I live, are strictly Edge network (specifically the house I live in),and when I pull up "Messages" there is no little camera next to the chat bubble that you click on. So I'm just wondering, is MMS going to disable when you are on EDGE and only work when you are connected to 3G.
Thanks.

MMS is not exchanged via the cellular data or internet network. SMS and MMS are exchanged via the cellular network - the same network used for calls. EDGE or 3G network access should not affect this. There are a number of "dumb" phones or non-smart phones and phones in the smart phone category that are not 3G phones, and most "dumb" phones or non-smart phones don't have internet access via the cellular data or internet network and exchange SMS and MMS.

HT2421 If I attach a hard drive to the USB port, can I access it from the wired network, while simultaneously creating a separate wifi network with NO access to the hard drive?

I already have a wireless network (call it Network A) with connectivity to various wired and wireless devices. I have a USB hard drive that I directly attach to my MacBook Air. I use it for Time Machine backups and general storage. I would like to move this drive to an AirPort Extreme. I would like to continue to be able to reach it via Network A, but also use the AirPort to create a guest Network (Network B). I don't want the guest network to access the hard drive.
Now, I know I can plug a hub into the USB port and put (I hear up to 3) hard drives on it. Can I determine which ones are accessable by Network A, and by Network B?
Bonzo...

Several things to consider.
You cannot create a wireless network for guests if the AE is bridged. It has to be the main router in the network.
You cannot use the existing TM backups on the USB drive.. if you plug into a network it will need to be wiped.. and only AC model can produce reliable TM backups.. the earlier models are not reliable for TM backups.
See http://pondini.org/TM/Airport.html
These two factors alone may be enough to make you reconsider.
If you can create a guest network.. and you can overcome the limitations of airdisks.. then any person on the guest network should not be able to access the disk drive.. but if you wish to go ahead Bob Timmons might be able to confirm it.. I stay away from USB drives on routers.. I do not and will not use a router as a NAS.. it is underpowered and simply unsuitable long term.. a cheap single disk NAS is many times faster.. more reliable.. and has a marvellous thing called backup.. no USB disk or even internal disk in a TC can back itself up. .nor can TM backup network drives.. so any data you store on a USB drive is going to be gone one day.. unless you go to great lengths to back it up .. to where.. another USB drive plugged into another router somewhere.. the definition of slow.. should be copying files between two usb drives in an apple network using wireless. You will experience new levels of pain and suffering.. likened to the belly of the Sarlacc.

Cannot Connect to YouTube on WiFi or the EDGE network.

On one of my iPhones I get the message:
"Cannot Connect to YouTube"
I've been having this problem since Friday, 6/29/07. The YouTube Icon has never worked on my problem phone.
I have 2 iPhones on the same AT&T account.
One works the other does not - any reason when I tap the YouTube icon I get the message "Cannot Connect to YouTube"?
I have tried this on the EDGE and WiFi networks.
The Stocks, Weather and Safari work fine.

SOLUTION:
The solution for my issue was to run a RESTORE on the iphone. I first confirmed that my iphone BACKUP was current. I did the aforementioned per the Apple representative. It took about 20 minutes.

Hi guys I have a iPad 2 I recently upgraded it from iOS5 to ios7. Since then it only uses the 8ta network but in the top left hand corner it says no service with 3G next to it how am I able to fix this? Could it be a hardware problem?

Since I upgraded my iPad from iOS5 to ios7 my iPad will only work on one network.
However in the top left hand corner is says no service with 3G next to it.
I took it to Apple istore in clearwater mall and they couldn't help me.
Please advise me on how to sort the problem out.
Kind Regards

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Can you lock the edge screen while talking on the phone?

I just recieved my new e=note edge, wondering if the edge screen can be locked while talking on it, worried it may not work for me? I am a lefty lol and this maybe a problem while talking on the phone? Or will it?

Kellsmom02,
Great question. We always want functionality of a device. Yes, you can lock this device while on a phone call. You holding the device will not disrupt the use of the device.
