Signal reception problem only with iPhone3GS

I use Airtel and it's signal strength is relatively low inside my house. While the same SIM card with other phones (e.g., Samsung Galaxy or Noika) is able to 3 to 4 bars, by iPhone3GS shows "No service". I am very annoyed with this and started using Nokia phone when I am home.
Anyone has a solution for this problem?

I am also using a Q10, carrier etisalat-UAE
Frequent call drops. Very sad to see Blackberry going like this....Loosing customer confidence at an alarming rate.....Used a BB 8310 > 8910 >9790 and now a Q10....

Get a lens cleaner disc. One with brushes and try that. CDs and DVDs use different lenses, so since CDs load and play, I strongly suspect a dirty lens.

Signal Reception Problem!!

I have had my new Q10 and the signal reception is terrible. While I was on call, I have very frequent call drop also the voice to the other party getting week in between.
I checked with Etisalat (in Abu Dhabi) service provider and everything is okay from their end. Earlier I was using BB9780 and this call drop problem was not there. Any solution

Install failure due to "faulty DVD" problem: only with Family Pack?

After going through a few threads on the subject of installation failure due to tbe pseudo-faulty DVD, I have the impression that many users mention that they were using a Family Pack install DVD or in one case a "drop in". The former is my case. Please post if you have had this problem with Leopard install, and whether you were using a single licence, family pack or drop in. It's just a hunch, but perhaps this problem only affects a specific set of disks.

I believe that they are holding back on sending a new DVD until they know why there were defective ones. I read somewhere that they require a new SKU so that they will actually be a separate batch.
Can you borrow a DVD from anyone to install Leopard? You certainly would be allowed to legally do that. I am surmising that Apple is overloaded with requests for a replacement DVD and really want to make sure it works. You know that old thing about "fool me once..."
Stuff happens - but with Leopard, a lot of stuff sure happened at once. They sold 2 million DVDs. If only 5% have problems, that's a lot of problems to deal with, one at a time.
In time it will sort itself out, but in the meantime the rooms are full of smoke

Maybe the reception problem only affects certain phones?

I have the same reception problem as a lot of users do, but I wanted to actually see someone with another Iphone 4 as my friends haven't gotten theirs yet...turns out my cuzns co-worker has one and sure enough his phone doesn't have the same reception problem...tested it myself..I honestly don't know what or who to believe anymore...

It seems like its either a physical defect on a portion of the iPhone 4's or a software problem. We won't know until we hear more from Apple, or unless someone else does testing over a much larger amount of iPhone 4's.

Airplay iphone problem only with music player

I have seen many discussions relaiting to airplay problems and now that I own both an iPhone 5s and a Bose Soundlink Air. I have discoverd there is possible a problem with Apples' software with the music player.
I have sucsessfully played music from itunes from three Macs in my house to the Bose SoundLink Air via wi-fi. All worked perfectly. I also used Remote from three iPhones, 3G, 3GS and 5S and again all worked fine. I have also used a radio app on each of the three phones and airplayed the radio direct to the Bose Soundlink Air and it all works perfectly.
However, when ever I play music (on the phone) direct to the Bose Soundlink Air, I get the usual complaining from other users of the sound plays for 20 seconds or so then cuts out etc. etc.
As mentioned above, if I play radio direct it works so why can't music (as its now called) on the iPhone. Seams to me the bug is in the music player that Apple has on the iPhone.
I might try another player (like VLC) and let you know if that works then we will know for sure the bug is with Apple.

Okay, Spoke to Bose and explained the problem. He said that because the air play was dropping out with multiple iPhones then the problem was with the unit. He told me to return the speaker system, which I did.
So here's the interesting part...
I then purchased a set of Bose Computer speakers (cheap one's) and a new AirPort Express and found the same thing was happening, 'Airport drop outs'. So I swopped over the new AirPort for my old Airport Express and that has worked perfectly for the past half week.
So my conclusion which I have yet to discuss with my local Apple Store is the new AirPort products are not totally compatible with the old Airport products.
BTW I am using a 2nd gen Time Capsule to send out my wi-fi signal (may be time for an upgrade) but it works perfectly with all the rest of my old Apple stuff (and so far our new iPhone 5s's).

"@font-face" problem only with firefox. I have attached a style sheet while i was embedding my personal fonts into a website, but Firefox won't load them. Why?

I was hand coding my new website. This time i was trying to embed some personal fonts into my website, so i used a style sheet to embed which is coded like
"@font-face {
font-family:Sofia;
src:url(../fonts/Sofia-Regular.otf);
All the font work fine in the root folder of my site. But whenever i am creating dreamweaver templates and using them on pages which are in different folders but in the same root directory, the fonts are set back to default font. This problem is only with Firefox. Chrome, IE, Opera etc. works fine. Please Help!

i run into the same problem the last days.
using bootstrap and the fontawesome iconfonts.
everythings fine with chrome an ie, but no fonticons with firefox...
found alot of solutions, but none of them worked.
then, using the webdeveloper console (i used firebug all the time before) i see the error why the webfont was not loaded:
[14:18:36.161] GET http://www.example.com/font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=3.2.0 [HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required 21ms]
yes, the site is behind a '''htaccess''' login.
first load after login is => everything ok!
after following an internal link => no webfonts!
after disabeling the htaccess login, everything works fine!
but that can only be a workaround!
why firefox didnt recognize the login/authorization like chrome does?!
what todo if you have your site behind htaccess and want to use webfonts?!

Signal reception problem? its not the iphone its...

Ok after i read through MANY people problems ive realized they are blaming the iphone 4 itself .... WRONG
Test 1 well i still had my 3g and 3gs both of them were OS 3. whatever i forgot both EXCELLENT RECEPTION but as everyone know the IPHONE 4 had bad reception even without touching the 2 BLACK LINES sometimes it goes to 1 bar for some reason.
Test 2 OK so i tried something else i update my 3gs to OS 4 and well can you guess what happen when i held it in the bottem? YUP the bars decreased to 1 i know your probably denieng it
Test 3 so now i UPDATED MY 3G to OS 4 and held the bottem..... can you guess what happen the reception to went down to 1
obviously it isnt the iphone its the software and if i didnt read wrong there is gonna be a new softare update OS 4.1 to fix the solution but like i said I READ so i dont know hopefully it will come
but these happen to my phones if anyone got a iphone 3g or 3gs updated to OS 4 and no reception problem then i guess its magick =/

I did a little experiment here at work. I have a 3G and I have to buddies with 3Gs. We held the iPhone in our left hands completely covering the back of the phone and are fingers wrapped around the other edge. We all where able to reproduce the issues with the bars slowly falling away until there where no bars left. Then we place the phone on a flat surface where we where not touching the phone and the bars slowly can back to full strength. All of us have upgraded our phones to ios4. Until this issues came up with the iPhone 4 I had never thought of doing this hand covering procedure. I also run a speed test before I lost all the bars and after I lost all the bars. Had decent speed before and dismal speed after. Also I went from 3G to Edge during the process. We need to find an iPhone that has not been updated to ios4 and test it in the same manor.

Problems only with Adobe ImageReady Animated GIF

Anyone encounter a problem and solution for getting ImageReady animated GIF working properly in a java app? Developer placed 2 animated gifs in the app which caused the CPU system resources to spike to 100%.
We then tested animated GIFs made from Macromedia Flash and also a freeware animated GIF editor, and both work out fine in the same java app.
It's odd, but we think there's a problem specifically with animated GIFs produced by Adobe's Image Ready in the Creative Suite 1 package.
Anyone have more insight?

Its been a long time since I have used ImageReady, and then it was for about year when CS3 came out. So my memory if very rusty with that program. (In other words I am hoping that I am not too far off base, lol.)
Check and make sure there are the same number of layers as there are frames. I believe there is an option in the animation palette for sending the frames to layers. Once you know that the frames and layers match (plus any additional layers you create), you can clear out the animation and reapply the layers to frames.
You should find a small icon in the upper right hand corner of the animation palette and the layers palette. Clicking them will bring up a menu that will do what you need.

Premiere Pro CC import problem only with last .VOB file

When I import .VOB files from any DVD into Premiere Pro CC, the last .VOB always cut picture from both sides. When I click to see properties of the file (in Bin panel) it shows me that image size is 540 x 576 instead of 720 x 576. The video isn't shrunken but cut off. I got two black bars on both sides of the screen (in Premiere Pro CC). That wasn't happened with CS6 and now it happens always and only with last .VOB file. All other files from same VIDEO_TS folder are imported correctly. When I convert that last .VOB to .avi or any other format everything is OK. Any suggestions?

Yes it works, but I have no time to convert file every time I need something archived that way. I used that method years ago, and if I'm not wrong we are progressing a little Most of today options you have in Premiere 5 (maybe even in earlier versions; I'm using it from version 5.1) and it worked. So if you think like that, why we need version 7.2.1 ? Actually this is 14.2.1 version if you count from version 1 back in 1991.
It's not about to manage, it's about to have what you pay for, it's about to speed up the process.
Thank you anyway for your comment

Nokia 820 Signal \ Reception Problem

Just taken delivery of a Nokia 820. As a die hard iPhone user, I pleasantly surprised myself by just how good Windows OS is and the build quality of the handset.
But I'm going to return it.
Signal is dreadful compared to other phones (tested in the same place) and my battery is destroyed by it constantly looking for signal or switching between H, H+ and on a special occasion - 3G!
I notice a lot of people have the same problem with the 820 and 920. Is there a fix or is the hardware faulty? I've tried all the solutions listed in this forum and elsewhere. Annoyed that reviewers said nothing about this.
My phone is SIM free and on the EE network in the UK.

Same on my 1020. Sim card I use frm my 808PV, there simcard works fine. Operator said that 3G is working fine and problem is the phone... But I found many similar complaints from all WP phones not only Nokia make. Problems should be addressed to MS... Hope Nokia will help it's loyal users to deal with MS

Reception problem is with OS/4 and not the iphone 4.

A reviewer contacted Apple and they said it's a problem with the IOS4 update that they will be patching. Maybe it is.
This guy is getting the issue on his iPhone 3G.

BS... Come on people. Think about it. It is impossible to be software. You pick up the phone, which is skin to metal, interference occurs with the antennas, and you lose signal. You lay the phone down, break the interference, and problem is gone. You can't get that skin to metal contact on any of the other phones.
You all go ahead and wait, wait, and wait some more for your software fix.
Totaly bogus...

Ipad 2 phantom touching. I have read several forums about phantom touching, but this seems to only happen to our ipad when it is really low on battery. We reset it to factory and took to Apple. Anyone have this problem only with a low battery?

The problem seems to happen when the battery is low. It seems fine now that the battery is fully charged. I took it to Apple Genius and they ran a diagnotic test and everything checke out fine. The tech told me to watch it and if it hapens again they would replace it. It is only a month old and we are already having problems with it. Does anyone know if there is a fix in the works or is the only fix to replace it?

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

When I use my bullzip printer with Foxfire 7.0.1 I get the following message: script engine not initialized to valid language. This is a problem only with Foxfire7.0.1. When I use IE 9.0 it works fine and I have no script initialization problem.

I have been using bullzip printer for years with Foxfire. I am now using a version 7_1_1_0_1218 of bullzip printer I downloaded in March 2011. I am using Windows Vista Service pak 2 with all latest updates.

ah..interesting. I found an alternate solution that works for
us at least
Our authentication is called from a file called
bluestemcookie.cfm with this format
<cflocation
url="https://#CGI.HTTP_HOST#/bluestem/lb_login.pl#AGREEMENT_PATH##CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#"
addtoken="No">
I was having the exact same problem, but notiece that if I
changed lb_login.pl to lb_login.pl? it now understood that
everything after was parameters and off it went to authenticate. Of
course then upon return I had a /? in my url and it burped again.
In looking at the construction of the URL to return in lb_login.pl
#---Construct Return URL------------------------------------
$ReturnURL = "https://$bluestem'R_ServerNamePort";
$ReturnURL .= $bluestem'R_PathInfo;
$ReturnURL .= "?$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}" if
$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
I noticed the ? in the beginning fo the third string
concatenation. hmm.... removed that ? and now all our
authentication with IIS6 CFMX7.1 Win2K3 work fine. Just food for
thought as your solution appears to be better.

S3 signal reception problems

So I have had the S# since July 9th and it has had very bad signal strength, it gets a significantly worse DBm then why brothers Rezound when sitting right next to eachother, I just wanted to know whether this is an issue with a lot of S3's or just mine?

It has been a well documented issue with the S3 as well as the nexus and the charge regarding signal strength. I ended up replacing the sim card which has helped, but the signal strength still isn't where I would like it to be and it is due to the weak radios Samsung has used in these phones. While some people report no issues, they are in the minority. I keep seeing there is an update due in September or October that is supposed to address this issue. So in the meanwhile, you may want to try a new sim card and if that doesn't work, get a replacement for the phone, as this has seemed to help people with the same issues.
