Very slow data on iphone 5 via wifi or at&t network

Data on wifi or the LTE network from at&t is very slow. My old iphone 3GS on wifi is faster when comparing wifi and past tests using 3G. Is there an issue wih the new iPhone 5 that is known and will be fixed? I was expecting blazing fast data on the new phone and it's slower than my 3 year old iPhone 3GS... Please explain.
Thank you.
Joe

My wife received her white 64 GB AT&T iPhone 5 from on September 26th (after ordering on the 14th from Apple) and she has had recurring problems with her data connections. Specifically, it will find wifi networks and even connect to them, but then it will spontaneously lose connections and she'll get error messages out of the blue saying that she's not connected to a wifi network. Also, while she often has 4 or 5 bars for her cellular signal, the LTE, 4G, 3G, or Edge indicator is often blank. Sometimes, LTE will light up and she'll be able to download at super-fast speeds, but then other times it's just not available. Also, the wifi indicator will show multiple bars (or waves?), indicating that there's a strong wifi signal, but the internet just won't work over it. This will happen while I'm sitting next to her with my AT&T iPhone 4, just sailing away on the internet with no problems at all.
SO, we took her phone to our local Apple Store in Troy, Michigan for a Genius Bar appointment. The Apple Genius told me that he had the EXACT same problems with his new iPhone, so he exchanged it for another one, and that also had the same problems. He thought there were a few things going on. First, the LTE issue is a local issue for us here in the Detroit area. AT&T just rolled out LTE here 2 weeks ago. So, they are having a number of bugs related to the network being new and possibly a little premature. He thinks the network will be better in the next few months, from what he's heard from AT&T. The wifi issue he believes is a software problem, unique to iOS 6 and its installation on the iPhone 5. Since the LTE thing keeps going on and off, and wifi keeps going on and off, the data connection on the phone is very unreliable at this point, and the phone is using a lot of power to try to maintain that connection, hence the faster battery drainage we're exeperiencing as well.
The bottom line is that there was nothing he could do for me. He wouldn't even let me TRY a phone replacement to see if it would be better. His suggestion was for me to sit tight and wait for Apple software updates and for AT&T to improve their network. However, I am scheduled to have my new BLACK 64 GB AT&T iPhone 5 delivered tomorrow (October 1st). I will restore it from my iPhone 4 backup on my iCloud (like I did with my wife's) and I will se how it goes. If that phone connects and works flawlessly while my wife's phone continues to have problems, then I will return her phone for a new one. On the other hand, if my phone behaves the same way as hers, then I guess I'll follow the Apple Genius' advice.

Scanning VERY slow with HP C4380 via WiFi

Hi there,
Since leopard (now 10.6.3) scanning is really terribly slow with my C4380 via WiFi, it actually takes about an hour (NO JOKE) to scan a page on 600dpi. WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG.
Can't find any solution anywhere..., drives me mad, help me out pls!
Daniel

Go into your computer and see what the Wireless Network Settings such as Security Type (WPA, WPA2, WEP etc), Data Encryption (AES, PSK, TKIP etc) and what mode is the router using 802.11 d, g or n. PlayBook prefers WPA or WPA2, AES Encryption, Mode g. It does not support Mode n with TKIP. Also try a reboot of your router.
On your PB tap the wifi icon, tap connect manually, enter the same Security type setting as in the router, select dual band, check auto obtain IP Address, check Allow Inter Access Point Handover and enter the network key. Reboot the PB .Try these suggestings and report back.

Sync iphone via wifi

It seems like an obvious oversight to not allow synching on the iphone via wifi. It would be so much more convenient for me that plugging in the cable all the time. I don't need to sync video or mp3 all the time so I don't think data transfer would be an issue. It would also mean fast synching wherever there was a wifi connection. I'm wondering if this is another 'mobile me gottcha'
Chrs

It wouldn't be slow if you just wanted to sync emails / contacts (the main application) - how could it be - that's how I access email all the time (through wifi). Also mobile me does it through mobile connections with email and contacts which is even slower than wifi most of the time.
I don't actually think audio files would take that long either - especially after a first sync - though i'm happy to do this with a cable
as for security, again, that's how i access email all the time anyway so i can't see that being a problem

Short Battery Life and Very Slow Data on 4S

Short Battery Life and Very Slow Data on 4S,
anyone else noticing the slow speed of data on this phone?

Yes, I measure my slow data on Sprint in kpbs, not Mpbs. Like standard is download maybe 250kpbs, upload 100kpbs (that's 0.25 Mbps and 0.1 Mbps). On the same tower my buddy who has an AT&T iPhone 4 shows 2.5Mbps download and 1.5Mbps upload (that's 2500kbps and 1500kpbs), a LOT faster. Sprint has not been much help.

Upload multiple files to iphone via wifi - completely freeze

Hi,
I upload files to iphone via wifi and air sharing app a lot. Just connect with finder and drag&drop files one at a time and everything is fine, but when you select more files and try to copy them to iphone together Leopard completely freeze. Totally. You cannot force quit finder, cannot run activity monitor, cannot kill finder in terminal or even restart the computer. Just shut down with holding the power button...
What's wrong? :/
(sorry for english;)

when i had around 50 reports to move from local to server , best idea is to a ) place all your reports in C:\..\My Documents\PC_NW\..domain1..\..username..\AppInfo\..appsetname..\..application..\eExcel\Reports (local folder )
b) open BPC excel -> etools-> Save Dynamic templates -> reports
c) Select Local folder select all the files you want to copy ,and right click copy
d) Select Company folder paste files

Music wont sync on my new iphone 4s. Restored it from a backup and now there's no music on it. In the music tab it says: Thomas iPhone has access to music on iCloud. Songs can be fetched via WIFI or a mobile network. What to do?

Restored it from a backup and now there's no music on it. In the music tab it iTunes says: Thomas iPhone has access to music on iCloud. Songs can be fetched via WIFI or a mobile network. The pnly thing I can chose to sync are voice memos.
What can I do?

If you want all the songs from an artist on your phone you can to to the artist view, tap on the artist, scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see a Download All button. This works for playlists and albums too (scroll to the bottom and tap the Download All button). I suppose if you wanted all your music on your phone you could create a smart playlist in iTunes on your computer that would contain all your music, upload it to iTunes match (Store>Update iTunes Match), and then you would get a Download All button at the bottom of this playlist on your phone to download all your songs.

Itunes 12. I can not see my ipad / iphone via WiFi

Itunes 11 was upgraded to itunes 12 without a warning. Now, side bar is lost and IN ADDITION () I don´t see my ipad / iphone via wifi. How can I reset sichronization ?
How can I DOWNGRADE to itunes 11 ?

Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
However .... I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.

Setting up IMac over Ethernet to use IPhone via WIFI

I have just stopped using a wireless router via Airport. I now use the Homeplug AV adapter system via Ethernet. I have internet no problem, but now have no network that will enable me to connect my IPhone via WIF to the internet through my IMac. Can someone please help?

Duane, not being a dumb taquito, I try not to post something of which I know nothing about. However, that still manages to occur occasionally! When the OP asked for help, I knew nothing about his issue. I had never shared an internet connection wirelessly. But in my mind I thought that this indeed should be possible with a Mac with an AirPort card. I experimented.
Not having an iPhone or an iPod Touch I used my iMac and my Mac mini. They are in rooms on opposite ends of my apartment. I set up a wireless airport network from my Mac mini to share its ethernet internet connection wirelessly with the iMac. I did it exactly as I shared with the OP. It took all of 3 minutes, start to finish. Then I walked to the other end of the apartment and connected the iMac to this wireless network and was surfing the internet from the Mac mini's ethernet connection in all of 30 seconds. It was a secure wireless connection.
I have now followed your instructions. They also worked flawlessly and because they were now familiar steps took barely two minutes to set up, walk, connect and surf. The results are identical!
However, if the OP only had your instructions to follow and did not encounter an AirPort service in Sys Prefs>Sharing, they would have been up the proverbial +cala de la mierda+, without a paddle.

Iphone 5 wifi unable to join network

iphone 5 wifi unable to join network issue
I am an engineer and I have tried every tweek to my airport router and unles you are standing 10ft from the ruter you get the unable to join network messsage.
naturally it work fine at the Apple Store who preformed a full reset on the phone. Other people are having this issue same a me and apple chooses not to acknowledge it, Maybe they will when I contact the consumer journalists at CNN ABC CBS & NBC news they love to here about Apple problems remember the Iphone 4 antenna issues!
APPLE ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION!!!
AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND SAY YOU ARE WORKING ON IT.
THINKOF IT THIS WAY
PEOPLE ARE GETTING PHONES EXCHANGED OUT AT APPLE STORES AND THE CARRIERS ONLY TO FIND THAT CHANGING THE PHONE DOES NOTHING REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS COSTING YOU MONEY AND WASTING YOUR STORE PERSONNELS TIME TROUBLESHOOTING A PROBLEM THAT ONLY THE HOME OFFICE CAN FIX!

Dear Engineer...Apple does not read these posts. We are end users just like you

Slow start up of iTunes 10.6 on Windows 7 & Network issues connecting iPhone via WiFi

Ever since I updated to iTunes 10.6 and iOS 5.1 both my computer don't want to open iTunes quickly and my Phone doesn't get noticed on iTunes via WiFi on my network. When I go to start iTunes from the icon on my desktop it doesn't pop up on screen right away like it did on the version before 10.6 and on iOS 5.0.1 my phone would sync and connect on to iTunes to update apps just fine now all that has changed. Doesn't want to connect to update apps on my network via WiFi and I have tried a few different things to see if I could correct the issue but nothing has worked. I tried what another person posted to try and it did not work, I also uninstalled, rebooted computer and reinstalled iTunes but that did not work either. Nothing I have tried seems to work, it must be a Apple glitch in the software for Windows 7 to have iTunes 10.6 and iOS 5.1 not to work properly like it should as it once did without fail. Before on the versions before this everything worked just fine no issues. Apple get with the program and fix these issues we are having please. Thanks and hope they get it fixed and straightened out quick!!!

Well, here is the results of my Diagnostic Test of the phone when plugged into the computer. Maybe with this someone would be able to see something that might need looking into, if so please let me know. Thanks so much in advance. I have not tried going back to a older version of iTunes as I am just gonna wait and see if Apple can correct it, hopefully they can. It seems as if on update they left something out to make iTunes, and Syncing not working properly.

HT201210 how do i restore my iphone via wifi

i recently got a iphone 4s off a friend and my computer wont let me restore it to factory settings i want to know how you o it via wifi thank you

If you are an authorized member of Apple's developer program, you have forums and resources through which you can address issues with seed versions of Apple's software. There is however a clear warning on the download page that says that you cannot remove the beta and downgrade once installed. So you are probably out of luck at this point.

IOS 5 VERY Slow Internet on iPhone 4

Ever since upgrade, non-wifi internet connection is very slow and often times out. This happens even with 4 bars.
I've tried resetting. This was never an issue prior to upgrading. I need non wifi internet for work and this *****!

I've had this exact same problem.
I've done the following things to try to fix it:
*Clear Safari Cookies, history and cache
*delete unused apps
*Hard Reset
*Reset Network settings
*Double Hard Reset
When I did a speed test twice in a row I got:
1. 0.00 Download 0.66 Upload
2. 1.4 Download 0.00 Upload
This shows the spotiness of this connection issue.
I hope we get some answers about resolving this terrible issue.

TS1538 Problem connecting iPhone via wifi to iTunes

Since upgrading to iOS6 and the new iTunes software, I have trouble connecting my iPhone 4s to iTunes via wifi. I must shut down the iPhone and restart it to connect via wifi to iTunes. But this works only once, the process must be repeated each time. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a resolution?

Try a different USB port or sync cable.
Close and restart iTunes on the PC.
Restart the PC.
