What are the iphone 5s wifi roaming thresholds? and are they settable?

I am looking for information on what parameters are used by Iphone5s to perform roaming decision? (signal power or signal quality or a combination of both)
What is the set value for each parameter?
Is it possible to change these parameters to avoid sticking to an AP with a weaker signal when in presence of an AP with stronger signal (both APs are part of the same network (sanme SSID, same Security type and key, same channel).

The iPhone 5C is basically the original iPhone 5 in different colors.
While the 5S gets the improved hardware.

    What are the advantages of WiFi + cellular as to just WiFi devices

    Advantages of Wi-Fi and cellular iPad.

  • Me and my partner are currently using the same apple id and have no space left on our devices. We are currently waiting on the iphone 6 plus to arrive and don't know how to transfer all data to the new phones.

    Me and my partner are currently using the same apple id and have no space left on our devices. We are currently waiting on the iphone 6 plus to arrive and don't know how to transfer all data to the new phones.?

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

  • I restore my iPhone 4S on iTunes and then when restarted it is asking for valid SIM card and I don't have SIM card for that, I was just using the iPhone with wifi, any one can help? Please.

    Well, you're wrong, & in fact not only is it locked, GCI does not offer unlocking for iPhones.
    Fact is your post won't help the OP.
    And you are 100% sure its locked to them? How can you know this? While GCI does not offer unlocking that does not mean the phone is actually locked to it. Get off your high horse.
    Its possible the original owner had an unlocked phone. he was using with GCI. Or that GCI doesn't actually have locked phones. Seeing as they don't even have their own infrastructure but instead use AT&T's I doubt they'd have iPhones specifically locked to them and that would be the reason they do not offer unlocking (because there's nothing for them to unlock). And just to clarify, I'm not saying for a fact its not locked to them. It very well maybe be, but without knowing more about the phone and going by the fact GCI uses AT&T infrastrucure its possible its not locked. But here's no way to say for sure either way.
    Trying a Sim card from AT&T or another carrier might just help the OP if its actually unlocked or locked to AT&T rather than GCI.

  • ITunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet...???

    Ok I’m completely lost here....
    I’m running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (Build 2600), I updated iTunes to 11.0.2.25 and some other updates for windows last night on my laptop. I try connecting to download the iOS 6.1.2 update for my iPhone 4 and my iPhone 5 via iTunes. I am getting this message for both "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again." Everything was fine with connecting prior to running these updates because I downloaded the 6.1 update with no problems when it came out.
    What I have done so far with which has made no difference:
    Checked my internet connection
    Changed my internet connection
    Signed out of iTunes and then signed back in
    Ran diagnostics via iTunes, comes back with: Network interfaces verified- Internet connection failed- Secure link to iTunes store verified
              Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
              Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
              Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
              Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
              Connection attempt to firmware update server was successful.
              Connection attempt to Gracenote server was successful.
              Last successful iTunes Store access was 2013-02-20 20:40:48.
    Disabled firewall, spy sweeper, virus scanner
    start>run>cmd> typed "netsh winsock reset"
    Rebooted
    Checked the parental controls in iTunes
    Start>control panel>internet options>connections tab> lan settings> selected the "automatically detect settings"
    Deleted iTunes and reinstalled iTunes
    When I would "ping gs.apple.com" it would come back with "request timed out" no matter what internet connection I was on, so I went into the hosts file  start>my computer>(C:)>WINDOWS>system32>drivers>ect>HOSTS and added  "#     127.0.0.1     gs.apple.com". Now it will ping gs.apple.com just fine but still comes up with the "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet" message in iTunes when i try to download the update.
    If anyone can come up with any ideas that I haven’t tried, please let me know. This is keeping me back from updating both of my phones along with if anything should ever happen to them; restores as well. 

    im computer is connected i can go to the apple store through itunes but when i plug my phone in i keep getting that alert... i plugged my phone in to update it after the apple loaded the itunes icon and a usb showed up.

  • What color are the web links on your iPads?  Are the iPad Air's purple?

    Bizarrely, the three iPad Airs I've seen show purplish links rather than blue ones--and that's true of a store demo model, too!
    In contrast, older iPads, iPad minis, and a store's iPad Mini with Retina Display, show web links as a beautiful blue.
    I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who can do side-by-side comparisons of iPad Airs and other iPads & iPhones and report on what the color differences are.
    The differences I've seen are fairly striking on most web pages, subtler on others.  Side-by-side comparisons can often dramatically reveal the differences.

    BUMP!!
    Anyone?  
    Side by side comp with your older iPad?   With your Mini?  What does it show?   What colors are the web links?
    Google search results--are they more purple on the Air than the blue on the others?  macsurfer.com is one site people have posted about.  macrumors.com, too.

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings

  • What is the difference between wifi and wifi & cellular

    I like to know what is the difference between wifi or wifi & cellular....please make answer simple..Cheers Annie

    Cellular allows you to access data over the cullular networks i.e. you can access the internet, send emails etc over 3G/4G (you can't do 'normal' phone calls with the iPad over 3G/4G) - you will need to have some sort of contract with a cellular provider in order to use it. With wifi you only have access to the internet when you are connected to a wifi network.

    I suggest you describe the problem in more detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received. Telling us you've tried ""all the methods mentioned in the forums" does not help.

  • What is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?

    For I-phone and I-pad, what is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?  I turned off wifi in my settings but my boss thinks there may be another way and a better way to use something else instead of wifi.  Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    Thanks!  That is a very good question you post.  My boss asked me that and I am assuming that he is having issues with using wifi wherever he is at.  My boss is the kind of person that when he asks something you look into it and ask him no questions...he's the only one asking questions!  But thank you for your response I will tell him the information you told me and hopefully that will help!

  • What are the advantages of varying write speeds and burn speeds?

    What are the advantages of varying write speeds and burn speeds?

    The slower the speed, the fewer burn errors (or, in other words, you'll burn fewer "coasters"). I've always tried to burn at a slower speed, i.e. 2x - 4x. I'd rather wait a few minutes more and I've never had any burn errors.
