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

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....

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.

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?

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

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.

I got reception problem in my 4g both gsm and wifi ? in form of very poor signal why*

i got reception problem in my 4g both gsm and wifi ? in form of very poor signal why*?? it was working fine suddenly the signal became bad and when i make phone call the other person on the seceond side doent hear me but when i use face time it is working , and the wifi signal is the same there is no or poor signal , signal improve only when i get closer to the modem that provides wifi at home or any wifi hot spot

That thread helped for a time. But now it seems as though my computer is back to slow again. But, some of the jargon is over my head as well. Not sure I knew quoite everything they were talking about. But thanks a lot for that, it helped I probably just need to reread it and follow the instructions again. Thanks so much.

IPhone 6 Signal or Reception Problem?

I've been having a problem with the iPhone 6's signal/reception since I received it from launch day. In areas where most people with Verizon LTE (iPhone 5S) have 5 LTE bars, I only have 2. Even my old Verizon iPhone 5 gets 5 LTE bars in places that I only get 2. Sometimes if I power cycle it will go up to 5 and then drop back down to 2. I have also been getting a lot of call failures. I've had more dropped calls for my iPhone 6 then I had in 2 years with the iPhone 5. Sometimes, when I am in these 2 bar areas the data will stop working entirely and I will have to power cycle to get it to work. I also have an issue where it takes forever for my phone to find any wifi spots. I have to toggle wifi off and on and airplane mode to finally get it to work. I've tried a lot of troubleshooting. I've turned VOLTE on and off, I've reset the phone, reset network settings, swapped sim cards at a Verizon store, nothing seems to work. I've also updated to iOS 8.0.2 with no improvement. This happens in the Northern Virginia area (Fairfax).

MKD4, I am sorry to hera that you are having these troubles with your new phone! I appreciate all that you have tried to get the phone up and running as it should. I haven't heard of others in this area having similar issues. Since you have tried all the steps that we would ask you to try, what I would maybe suggest is to replace the device.

Reception problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

AFter upgrading to 4.2.1, my 3GS iPhone is experiencing bad signal, bad quality and frequent disconnections.
This was repeated even after my provider replaced my device to a different 3GS device, running 4.2.1.
inserting my SIM card to a NOKIA phone, showed strong signal and good reception.
Did anyone experience reception problems on 3GS running 4.2.1??
Thanks,

I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

N8 poor signal reception and other hardware issues...

I have always been a Nokia fan . I started with Nokia 6600, then N70, then N82 and now a Nokia N8.
However, I am facing the worst experience with N8 reception issues.
The problems faced are as under :
1) Poor Signal Reception Issues - Signal strength is weak and is constantly fluctuating compared to other Nokia Phones. At my workplace, if Nokia N82 displays 5 bars, N8 would display only 1 or 2 bars.
2) Phone freezes many times. Whenever an Alarm is enabled, phone freezed much more.
3) Purple Tint in the display. Nokia Service Centre says that its normal but according to me, they are just ignoring this issue.
4) Vibration is weak : I often do not realize when the phone is vibrating in my pocket !!
Upcoming Symbian Anna will just improve the user interface but will not be able to solve these hardware issues.
If Nokia plans a hardware update facility for N8 users wherein they can fix the signal reception issues and increase the RAM to 1 GB atleast, I would retain this phone for few years.
But, now, I intend to switch to Samsung Galaxy S II.
Your views solicited.

I am agree with poor signal issue with nokia N8. I have two cell with one is N8 and other one is N26 with nearly 4.5 year old but at same place Nokia N8 showing very poor quality of network signal compared to N26. So for same network provider with two different cell with same manufacture how can drastic different that is also investing nearly RS.22000!
Please resolve the issue ASAP.

My iphone 5 has a bad signal reception LTE turned off any suggestions

I purchased my Iphone 5 last November 2012 by Cosmote Greek network provider.
I am using an iphone 3GS as well and I can compare the strength of the signal reception all time.
Usually the 3GS has 3 signal bars more than the Iphone 5 which many times goes with no signal. The LTE is turned off as well any suggestions?
Thanks

I'd just like to say that ahs70's post on Dec 1, 2013 at 1:17am on Pg. 9 worked for me as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5338609?start=120&tstart=0
If your iPhone's battery is acting up you need to determine if it's a software issue or a hardware/battery issue. To do that, after syncing your iPhone, erase/hard reset all data and settings from your iPhone to what it was from the factory as new. This can be found in Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. Then test it out for a day or two. If it's still acting up then it's likely a hardware issue and you will need to get your battery replaced. If your warranty is done than check out this link to get a battery kit to replace your iPhone battery yourself: http://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-5-Replacement-Battery/IF118-001#produc tDescription
If your iPhone is now working properly after hard resetting it than it's most likely a software issue. This battery issue only started after upgrading to the new iOs7, so it is obviously related to the update not properly installing itself. What has worked for me and many others is to manually update to iOS 7.0.4 using the full downloaded version of the update which is about 1.32 Gigs.
But first you need to find out what model of iPhone you have, click here to determine if it's GSM or CDMA: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Then go here and scroll down to download the iOS 7.0.4 complete update for your device: http://www.downloadios7.org/download-ios-7-0-4-ipsw-file.html
Then scroll up on the download page and follow the instructions of updating your iPhone manually following the instructions below: "IPSW with iTunes"
And your done.
Problem solved.
I only posted this because it was a very frustrating problem that no one really seemed to figure out a solution for.
I hope this helps.

How to fix reception problems in iphone 4s

I bought an Iphone 4s and since then I have reception problems with it.
with my oldest 3gs and the same sim card never had a receptiomn problem.
Now when I call the other people coudn't hear me or sometimes the signal ist lost.
Can somebody give me an solution to fix the problem?

I have recently brought an iphone 4s and the battery is draining even without much use. please advice if any one is able to fix it with some patches or updates iOS 5.0.1
I have personally seen the problem and corrected it on numerous models now including the 4S, 4, 3GS and iPad 2s. Corrupt system level settings created by an iOS 5 bug in the original release that caused battery recalibration issues, etc. Just installing the update does not fix the issue in most cases (sometime it initially can be worse). You need to clear out those settings and recalibate the battery. For those still having the "standby battery drain" issue follow the procedure below in order. It does fix the problem in most cases.
Go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
2. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). At this point, Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd
4. Fully discharge battery (till it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
In my experience this improves the standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases. It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now... not all, but most. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple. Good Luck!

IPhone 4s - 5.0.1 Reception Problems

Hello all... I have two (2) iPhone 4s. I used to have all iphones (2G, 3G, 3GS, 4)
Never had any problems with the reception. Both iPhones 4s are on the same network .
I noticed that my iphone 4s has a huge reception problem. Even if I have 4-5 bars of signal... the phone is unable to perform a call. I have to try more than 4-5 times in order to make a succefull call... I type the phone number... I have to wait for at least 10-15sec and 80% of the times i get "call cancelled"
Even if I manage to make a call... most of the times ... with NO reason the call drops.
Also in locations where I have 2-3 bars of signal... suddently I get "no service" and most of the times I have to reboot the phone in order to get signal again.
I think that this started after upgrading to 5.0.1 (I was having 5.0 only for 3-4 days... so I am not sure if there was a problem also)
Is it true that all these problems
1. reception problems
2. Not stable wifi
3. Battery drain
are software problems???? Are those going to be fixed on a future update (maybe 5.1) which we are waiting a long time now....!!!!
Please help.... if this is not a software problem....I am thinking on returning the phone in order to get a replacement
Thank you in advance

Well battery life gone down to 81% since 40 mins ago!
Well no other problems as yet but not tried any yet.
So much for QA !!!!
5.0.2 I hope fixes all these problems

3G reception problem when abroad

My iPhone 3G has worked flawlessly since I got it, with no 3G reception issues whatsoever (I'm from the UK).
I am currently in Bulgaria on holiday, and when I got here I noticed I had "No Service", but my girlfriend (who has a Samsung on O2) had full signal with M-Tel.
I looked under Settings > Carriers and seen lots of Bulgarian carriers listed, both 3G and 2G, but no matter which one I select I get a message about "Restricted Network. Your selected cellular network is restricted." Restricted. However if I turn 3G off, I get all the 2G Bulgarian carriers just fine, full signal.
Any ideas?

I have consistent 3G reception problems in faraway Tasmania, using iPhone 3G 16GB. The 3G network I'm on is 850MHz UMTS known as NextG provided by Telstra.
Drop outs on 3G, generally poor reception and dramatically increased 3G battery life have forced me to turn it off and use GSM/EDGE exclusively (GSM uses almost the same 900MHz frequency spectrum here in Australia, so performance is not being squewed by that).
Here is a test as an example:
I positioned the iPhone so that it was 6k away in direct unobstructed line-of-site from our only Telstra tower (the only telco we have in our region)
According to the ACMA database our Telstra tower has almost identical power output on both GSM and NextG at 28 and 32 watts respectively.
Of course the transmit antennas on the tower for each of those services can't both be in identical positions, which is the only thing I can think of that might account for the differences in measurements.
Checked the number of bars signal strength and the dBm Field Strength readings for both NextG and GSM and here are the results:
GSM: full 5 bars and field strength of -81dBm
NextG: only 2 bars and field strength of -98dBm
The actual practical performance of the phone pretty much is in accordance with those figures, so I suffer regular drop outs or no service at all on NextG while GSM is rock solid.
There is no question of tower overload as there are only 30 or so residents served by that tower with little road traffic.
I'm disappointed by the poor NextG performance which is pretty ordinary everywhere I go and I'm even more disappointed at the dramatic decrease in battery life when NextG is turned on.
Keeping NextG turned off seems to be the only solution and that is not good.
For those who want to try the same, you get Field Test mode by dialling 3001#12345#
Our local Telstra tower is this one: http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/assignmentsearch.lookup?pACCESS_ID=9330165&pDEVICEID=3046541

New iPhone 5 - internet and mail reception problems?

I just acquired a new iPhone 5. I have regular reception internet and mail reception problems. The internet on both Wifi and provider network drops out on a regular basis, although reception signals of both wifi and network are strong. When turning off the phone and restarting the internet comes back for a short while and loses connection again. Has somebody else experience similar difficiulties, If yes how can this be fixed.

Voice reception problems

Is anyone having reception problems with the 4S? If I run a app during a phone call the voice gets garbled or I hear myself in a echo louder than the person I'm talking to.

You have many options available to you, and only you can decide what works best for you (assuming it's only your apartment where you can't get good service and not anywhere else):
1) try a different SIM
2) try a MicroCell. AT&T will often give one to you for free if you make a stink and convince them you can't get a signal in your own home
3) return your phone and get a different type of phone.
4) return your phone and go with a diffeent carrier.
