Weak Signal in Denver, CO

I live in the middle of Denver, CO in an area called Capital Hill (zip code 80203).  My cell reception is great throughout the rest of the city, but its horrible on the block surrounding my house (inside and outside).  This is confusing to me, as I am centrally located in the middle of Denver.
Does anyone know how to report areas of weak cell reception to Verizon?  It's incredibly frustrating not being able to reliably use my mobile phone when in or around my house.

Yes you can open a trouble ticket by calling tech support 8009220204
Verizon doesn't guarantee rf signal indoors but if you have hi speed Web they'll offer you a network extender for $250. With the ticket they'll do a test drive in your area or they may already know others are having trouble in your area

  • I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand.  But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status.  What do I do?

    I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand.  But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status.  I also have very weak wifi reception.  What do I do?
    I already tried the following:
    a. Turned the phone off and then on.
    b. Checked all wifi connections – no problem given that all our laptops and desktops can connect seamlessly.
    c. I tried restoring the phone to original factory settings via itunes
    d. Tried resetting the phone.
    e.     Tried different microsims from all networks
    f. However, all methods failed given that the network reception is very weak and often reflects – “no service”.  And with regards to the wifi reception It has difficulty in reading even the signal right in front of the wifi router.
    I went to two Apple resellers here in Bangkok and requested that they please look at my Iphone and have it serviced.  I was frustrated when they said that given that I bought my phone in Canada, they are not able to support me and should instead try to contact the Apple store in Canada. 
    I went to apple.ca website and went to the expresslane support and I was said to register and callback.  Tried calling the 1800 number but given that I was in Thailand I had difficulty getting a connection.

  • Io/26 and weak signals

    I recently purchased an io/26 (using current drivers) and have been experiencing some pretty weak signals into GB, mostly when I'm using a mic (an EV 767) to record guitars and vocals. I believe I've got things set up correctly, but I'd like to be wrong...
    I usually have to get the mic right up to the speaker or sing extremely close to the mic. The mic uses the xlr input on channel 1 or 2, with the switch on the mic/line setting as opposed to the guitar setting; phantom power is off. With these settings, I have to turn the gain up to about 80% to get a decent signal into GB. The driver software is pretty simple and doesn't allow me to adjust input levels. There is some "HDM" software (hardware direct monitoring) but I'm assuming this only affects sound routed back to the io for monitor speakers or headphones.
    I'm hoping I'm just doing something stupid. I realize the ev767 is a vocal mic, but it should be a decent multi-purpose mic for my needs. One thing I am not able to do because the input is so weak is to place a mic far enough away from an amp (or a person) to get the sound of a room. Frustrating.
    While I've been searching other threads here for similar issues, nothing seems directly relevant. Mostly, this is because the io/26 disables most of the software input settings that is a solution for usb mics, usb/midi input, etc.
    Has anyone else come across this problem?
    Thanks,
    Rich

  • No signal or weak signal samsung

    I have my appletv hooked up via hdmi to my samsung dlp hlr5667w tv and I keep getting a "no signal or weak signal" message.  Why can't my tv find the Apple TV signal?   I do not have any other splitters or devices hooked up and I have the same issue with different hdmi cables.   When I unplug the. Plug the Apple TV into the power I get a green apple screen for a few seconds before the no signal message returns.

    Welcome to the Apple community Mazino9.
    How long is your HDMI cable.
    Have you tried using another TV.
    You may wish to try the following:
    Press and hold the menu and the up button simultaneously on the remote for six seconds, the Apple TV should then begin to cycle through the various resolutions available to it. If you see a picture appear up on your screen, use the remote to scroll down to the OK option and select it.

  • Weak signal fail with 3.1

    Anybody else notice a loss of weak signal pull in? On 9/1/09 it seems a new tower turned on and I suddenly had a couple of bars at my remote mountain house that I'd never had before, the signal stayed strong roaming around in my remote area very much better than before. then I updated and blammo no more signal, zilcho,nothing bummer.
    anybody else notice anything like this? IPhone 3GS 32gb Anybody have any suggestions, similar experience?

    bktonyc,
    I noticed that my phone occasionally "freezes" during phone conversations (2 out of 5!) which requires the complete power-down of the phone. This never occurred under 3.0.1 firmware. I'm holding my breath to see what I'll discover next!
    Apple, please give us some way to reload 3.0.1 firmware!!! I don't give a rat's behind about the new & improves MMS or other features that were supposedly rolled into this newest version of the FW. I can't even use this iPhone as a reliable telephone!!!
    For what it's worth, I also notice that occasionally the signal strength decreases to near zero, and I can't access the internet or even place calls. This is when I know I'm in close proximity to a cell tower (I know, because my wife's phone has full signal strength). I wonder if this is somehow related to the rapid battery discharge, as the phone may be "hunting" for a signal (endlessly transmitting, and looking for a response from the cell tower).

  • Airport does not want to connect to a weaker signal

    my airport has decided that it does not want to connect to a weaker signal. at home if i am next to the wireless source my computer connects just fine, but if i go downstairs to my room the signal strength starts dropping and then will disconnect all together and i am unable to connect again. the signal strength is strong enough to connect because my computer connected just fine before and i tried it with my brothers computer (he has a 15in macbook pro) and it connects just fine. any suggestions? thanks
    =)-SamIam-(=

    yes everything connects to the same wireless internet. i did notice i had a harder time connecting around the time i upgraded to 10.5.6. (i cant remember for sure)
    i don't think it matters but i am not connecting to a AP base station at home. We use our iMac for our wireless internet. but even if i am not at home i cant connect to any wireless signal while others around me are connecting to a free service in town. (i used to be able to connect to the same service in town to which i can not anymore)
    i did notice that when i open my MBP and wake it form sleep i am able to connect for a couple of min, then the signal gets weaker and weaker until it disconnects and i am not able to connect again.
    thanks

  • Will there ever be an update to fix the weak signal?

    Hello! I am one of those galaxy nexus owners who absolutely love the phone but HATE the weak signal...
    When I am in an open area, I seem to get pretty good reception on my phone, but everything changes when I go inside a building! I get HORRIBLE reception inside buildings (like my house and work), which causes my phone to slightly heat up and drain battery very quickly. I am tired of having to turn on airplane mode in these situations to conserve battery! I can confidently say that it is the phone, not the area, that causes the weak signal because my friends who have Verizon iPhones get 2-3 bars of 3G when I have ZERO bars...
    I have tried almost everything to improve signal (restart phone, take out battery and sim card, allow CDMA only, etc.) , and nothing seems to have worked!!! My sister, who also has a galaxy nexus, has the same problems as I do, so I doubt a replacement phone/sim card would be any help.
    Does anyone know if Verizon/Google/Samsung will be releasing an update to improve signal for this phone?

    I'm having these problems as well.  I keep thinking the next software update will fix it, but it hasn't.  At least not fully.  I was with my wife on a road trip over Thanksgiving weekend and took some comparison screenshots of both phones.  As you'll see in these screenshots, the Galaxy Nexus barely has a bar of 3G, while the iPhone boast full strength.  Yes, I know that bars are only a visual representation, but it's hard to get DBM information on the iPhone.  I can tell you the Galaxy Nexus couldn't even load a mobile friendly web-site, while the iPhone did. Here I avoided the iPhone 4S because of "signal issues".  A lot of good that did me.  Thoughts Verizon?  Replacement SIM cards don't fix the issue.

  • Airport Express has very weak signal even to the next room

    I am wondering why my airport express has a weak signal. The signal to the next room(about 4 or 5 meters away), is so weak that you can only see one or 2 lines from the graphic at the internet connect. My base station has the last firmware from apple. Has anybody else experiencing this problem or knows what could be wrong?
    Mac mini G4 1.25, iMac G5 2.0, MacBook 2.0, iPod 20Gb, iPod nano 4Gb, iPod 30Gb   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I have tried changing channels, I have tried using interference robustness but nothing seems to work. Isn't it so wierd thought that in the same room within 1 meter distance, the signal becomes from strong to weak, to zero?? The funny part also is that when i change channel for a few seconds the signal is very strong until it drops to zero. When i try another wireless device doesn't seem to have this problem but only with airport express base.

  • E1200 - Had a weak signal and slow speed

    Pros: Price, nice sleek shiny box, kind of worked when new. Good as a paperweight in a light breeze.
    Cons: Not really a good doorstop - too light. Died at 35 days of ownership. Won't let me in to the web interface to make some changes. When working it had a weak signal and slow speed. Doesn't support access point mode like my old wireless router did.
    Other Thoughts: Not the first time I'm had problems with Linksys/Cisco branded products but this is the last product I'll ever buy with the Linksys/Cisco name on it. Fact is ever since Cisco bought out Linksys, every product I've bought from them had failed/died within a few months. You'd think they would get this right by now but they haven't.

    There are many reasons why you experience poor signal or connection. Well, there are few things you should keep in mind with regards to N routers:
    1) For the best possible speeds, you need to be using WPA2-AES as your security mode. Any other security mode will see your speed/range capped.
    2) Make sure the drivers for the Wireless Card for the computers should be updated as well..
    3) The router by default uses a channel setting of auto, which means that it would keep switching channels depending on the interference. I’d recommend you set it to a fixed channel. Usually, 1, 3, 6 and 9 give you the best performance depending on your environment of course. I’d suggest you try different channels, observing each for a while, to see which gives you the best performance. You can follow the link here on how to change channels.
    Second, all Linksys/Cisco can work as an Access Point. There are two (2) ways to cascade a Linksys router to another router:
    1. LAN to LAN – Connecting one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the Linksys router (router A) to one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of another router (router B).
    This type of cascading requires the main and the secondary router to be on the same LAN IP segment to allow the computers and other devices to connect to both routers.  This configuration is recommended if you want to share files and resources within the network.
    2. LAN to WAN – Connecting one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of router A to the Internet port (WAN port) of router B.
    This type of cascading requires the main router and the secondary router to have different IP addresses.  This connection makes it easier to identify which router the computers and other devices in the network are connected to since they will have different LAN IP segments.  However, computers that are connected to router A will not be able to communicate with router B, and vice versa since they are two different networks.

  • Weak signal from Airport Express on extended network

    I'm receiving only 2 bars from my Airport Express even with devices right next to it (see attached pics). I've reset the Airport Express and the extended network setup goes fine there's just a weak signal. If I take my devices to the modem router I get a full signal. Any ideas?

    The AirPort Express does work with virtually any wireless router for AirPlay or a remote printer.
    Unfortunately, you must have missed the following clear statement in the product information for the AirPort Express regarding extending a network.
    If you already have a wireless network in your home and want to extend its range, AirPort Express can help. Just place it in range of your primary base station — an AirPort Extreme, AirPort Time Capsule, or another AirPort Express

  • Laptop Picks Weaker Signal on Extended Network, Why?

    I've got an Apple Airport Extreme Router b/g/n and am using a Apple Airport Express Router b/g/ to extend the network. It actually works pretty **** well, giving a big signal way out into the backyard.
    Here's the rub. My 'g' laptop, a Dell D620, always goes for the Apple Airport Express Router, even if the signal from the Apple Airport Extreme Router is twice as strong. The Extreme is channel 6 and the Express is channel 1. I can have the laptop right in the room with the Extreme and it will attempt to pick up the weak signal from the Express instead.
    Any suggestions on this? Is it a quirk in the network extension that can be addressed? A consequence of mixing the Extreme and the Express?

    It is actually on g/b/n. When I switch it to n (at least 5GHz, it totally disappeared from available connections.

  • I get a weak signal with WIFI or 3G on, but a strong signal with EDGE.HELP

    I get a weak signal with WIFI or 3G on, but a strong signal with EDGE. This doesn't make any sense! Help!

    this happens to me, too. i get 1 bar of 3g but 4-5 when it switches to edge.
    i also got this on my old blackjack ii and thought maybe it was just something having to do with that phone, but i guess not!

  • T500 Weak signal showing in access connections.

    Hello all; I have a T500 2081-CTO Win 7 Pro & I have online access with Verizon DSL through a Netgear wireless router. Recently, the 5-bar yellow/green icon for the Access Connections on the task bar (which normally shows 5 green bars anywhere when laptop is inside my home) has been showing a 2 or 3 yellow bar weak signal for my connection to my wireless router, even if I bring my laptops very close to the router. I have tried to correct this to no avail by updating several items including the BIOS and Access Connections software. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this issue.

    Try inSSIDer; it provides quite detailed information.

  • Could weak signal be a computer specific problem?

    I've read all of the other "weak signal" posts, and they all seem to be caused by an interference/distance issue. My problem seems to be particular to my iBook, as my roommate's iBook gets full signal anywhere in the same room as the express and at least half signal from across the house. Mine only gets full signal on top of the airport, half signal from across the room, and NO signal from anywhere else in the house. Also, this is true not just with our network at home; any other wireless signal comes in at half strength as compared to his on our "internet connect" meters. Wasn't until I had side by side comparison that I could confirm my personal shortcomings, but I had suspected for a while (wireless distance limit of 10 feet sure feels like the tug of a wire). I installed the airport card myself, while his came ready to go....did I screw up? Any ideas at all?

    You may have your answer and I am going to throw out some info. I was having a lot of interference problems and Apple stepped up and helped out. First, and 2.6Ghz wireless phone will interefere with your network. Second, The airport has to have a clean line of site with the airport wireless card. Apple said they are finding the signal is having a bit of trouble going through metal, past microwave ovens etc. I have a G5 under a desk trying to get past a 30" cine display. I had to do some fancy work-arounds. Also turn on "interference robustness". It will slow your transfer rate down a bit, but it has kept me networked with little frustration.

  • My Airport Express has a weak signal 50-75 feet from base.  Any solutions?

    My AirPort Express has a very weak signal 50-75 feet away from the base.  Any suggestions?

    ideas
    buy one (or two) of those newer md031 airport extreme base stations as they have a higher power output.
    ur post is implying 'join a wireless network' so i dont think limiting to 2.4ghz or 802.11b or 802.11g would help..
    using 2.4 or 802.11b would help over distances, if ur creating a network and joining it then thats not an option
    the airport has a couple settings like power output (make sure its set to 100%) or multicast rate that might be worth trying out. multicast set to low helps with clients joining at longer distances and multicast set to high kicks off clients at distances
    put the aiprort express up high on the wall so it has a better chance of not being obstructed ?? and not on the bottom of the baseboard??
