Verizon iPhone 5 with iOS 7 dropping calls
Updated my VZW iPhone 5 to iOS 7 a few days ago. All was well (after some initial angst) until today. Now experiencing dropped calls about 2 minutes in. Phone reverts to lock screen. After calling back, no problem. Called VZW and they did the usual phone diagnostics, reset, etc, from another phone. Made a call while VZW was on the line and had no problem. Then it happened again later in the day. Anybody else? Any solutions?
BTW: The VZW person volunteered that they are getting mucho calls re iOS 7, especially battery drain and dropped calls. Said Apple is "aware and working round clock". Seems to have become a routine.
What say y'all??
UPDATE
The last time I had a "call drop", I noted that it was again when receiving a call with the phone asleep and that the phone returns to the Lock Screen as opposed to showing "Call Failed" in the Phone app. Then I noted that the "drop" occurred at exactly 1 minute. It struck me that that was the time I had set for "Auto-Lock", and I wondered if that was what was happening. So, I changed the "Auto-Lock" setting then returned it to 1 minute. I asked wife to call me with my phone off and there was no "Drop". Good sign, and we all know settings can get corrupted; but I'm still wanting further "successes" before declaring victory.
Thought I'd pass this along as food for thought.

HELP!! My iphone 6 keeps dropping calls and I have a verizon extender
Hi,
My iPhone 6 my Carrier is Verizon my iPhone 6 has been dropping calls I think it’s only when I’m home and also we have a cellphone booster aka Verizon Extender and it does connect to that also but when someone calls me it connects then drops right away and then I try right away to call them back and then the call goes though. I have tried a hard reset on my iPhone 6 I have tried just by turning on and off the airplane mode and I have tried resetting the network settings which I just did. I thought of maybe doing the part when you take your sim card out and put that back in but I have not done that yet! I don't know what to do if this keeps happing it is really annoying! Can you please help me! Thanks Also I have looked online of how to fix it but have not come up with anything yet

just updated my iphone with iOS 7.0.2 and when I call or people call me, only one party can hear the other. Would you know how to fix this problem? Thanks
Hi Apple_Mom,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've noticed issues after updating to iOS 7.0.2, you may want to first update to iOS 7.0.3 which was recently released.

Will the verizon iphone get ios 5
since the verizon iphone is still behind on the ios which it has 4.2.8 instead of 4.3 will the verizon iphone get ios 5 while skipping 4.3 or will we get 4.3 while att gets ios 5
Don't hold your breath. Let's face it... the Verizon iPhone is 2nd rate to the AT&T one. Probably always will be one build behind... Heck, based on what's happened so far and the cold shoulder that Apple gave it at the WWDC, I'm staring to think that Verizon won't even carry it any longer. ("We have plenty of other options"... says Verizon.)
Ok, seriously though, if Verizon doesn't get iOS 5 with the rest of the country in the fall, a good chunk of the some 2.5 million Verizon iPhone users will either move back to AT&T or just give up on Verizon and join up with AT&T. (myself being one of them.) This is getting a bit ridiculous. AND... iOS 4.3 contains MANY features and enhancements that we Verizon users STILL don't have. Look it up if you have any doubts. I'm sick of people saying that iOS 4.2.8 and iOS 4.3.3 are basically the same. DUH... if they were the same they'd have the same build number. Again people should look it up, before spreading propaganda.
And finally... based on everything that I've read, it does appear that Verizon will get iOS 5 at the same time as AT&T. (There apparently is a beta out there for the CDMA iPhone of which developers can get.) BUT, I'll believe it when I see it. -
Why doesn't iMessage with the fourth iPod touch work with iPhones with iOS 5.1 software?
Why does the iMessage say that someone isn't registered with iMessage when they have an iPhone with iOS 5.1 software?
DId the person with the iPhone activate Messages on his iPhone and has he assigned the number you are call as a Receive At number?

I am unable to create a new event on my iPhone with IOS 7.0.4. I tap the plus sign, fill in the details, tape Done and ... nothing. Repeatedly. No problem on my iMac or iPad, just with the phone. Help.
Assuming you're creating this event to place in your calendar, and assuming this calendar is shared with your iMac and iPad using iCloud, might the calendar be restricted on your iPhone?

Hello, so today I realized that my iPhone with iOS 6 is frozen on the music. I can get back to the home screen but I can't get the music player to work because its frozen on the w's and will not respond to touch. I would be grateful for any help on this.
Hi deamayfield,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Music app is unresponsive, try restarting/resetting your iPhone:

I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"
Assuming you are using the current version of iTunes (11,2,2), open iTunes, click "Preferences" under the leftmost entry on iTunes' menu, then choose "Devices".
Find the iPhone's backup there, highlight it, and choose "Delete Backup". -

Try rephrasing your question.
What does your card have to do with it and how do you complete a phone with ios 6?
What exactly are you doing, and what is the exact message you're getting? -
I hv iPhone with ios 6.0.2
My iphone could not able to check for update…it’s just showing “checking for updates” with loading sign
How can I upgrade to ios 7?
Help plsI agree- I apologize if I sounded skeptical and attacking. In no way did I mean it to sound that way.
I completely agree on the software-hardware combo issue- this is why apple killed off 1G and 2G devices- because newer software revisions would never ever run well if at all on such ancient devices. can you imagine running iOS 6 on an iPhone/iPod touch 1G? That would be terrible. Let alone iOS 3 runs terrible on them and now are generally rendered useless due to newer App Store requirements (most require 4.3+ now to allow apple to kill off the older devices). forcing newer software on older hardware (apple, dell, HP,... Anything electronic this definitely applies to) will almost always yield less-than-par results. The other part is apple forcing you to upgrade by means of intentially making things obsolete. all companies do that.
All of this factual info aside, the issue at hand with the 5 is not a software-hardware combo problem- those are most widely seen with the major revisions. then again, this isn't the first time apple has gotten caught up in battery drain snafus (even iOS 5 was plagued with this as well- and now there are some people desperate to roll back but can't). it basically waters it down to the point where keeping the stock software will always yield the best results even though newer versions provide better features- it all depends on whether or not the person deems the added features are worth a performance hit.
PS. I'm still at 100%- and I've been using it periodically throughout the day. your combo worked for you, but didn't for me. And may or may not work for others- As the tech world would say, mileage may vary.
PSS. What model/carrier do you have? Just wondering. -

<Personal Information Edited by Host>Well, first off, you are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user PUBLIC forum. You should not post your personal information like that. Try closing iTunes, reboot the computer and connect again. Are you using the latest version of iTunes, v11.1?

Has anyone else had problems with severe dropped calls since updating to IOS 5.1?
I have just updated my phone today and have had nothing but dropped calls. I thought this update was supposed to make my AT&T connection better. What's going on Apple????
Ever since I updated to iOS 5.1 my connection has dropped down to what I was getting with my older iPhone 3g. With Apple eliminating the rollback option my feeling is that we are SOL until the powers to be determine that we are not (a) crazy (b) stupid or (c) unable to realize that the phones have always performed this way.
All nthis grief for marginal, at best, benefits
