Why is it that when i upgrade my phone baseband stays the same

i have updated my iphone, but the modem firmware stays the same.. why?

It is unusual to want the baseband updated, as the baseband rarely has any meaningful additions, other than restricting the end user. I doubt that their have been any additions to the baseband since iOS 4 that you would want. But I know there are tools on the Web that can update the baseband as you would like to do, but you will have to search for these on your own, because they cannot be discussed on Apple supported forums.

  • Why is it that when i upgraded to ios 6, my ipad 2 no longer connects to known networks automatically

    why is it that when i upgraded to ios 6, my ipad 2 no longer connects to known networks automatically?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Why does Thunderbird hang when a login dialog is open at the same time as a file save dialog?

    This happens frequently. And if there is any open email I am composing at the same time, it is LOST. This appears to be a bug that would rarely trigger in the normal case, but I have several email accounts active at once and one of them sometimes throws up a login window. If I happen to simultaneously be trying to save an attachment, the save dialog pops up and neither "Save" nor "Cancel" buttons work anymore and it is impossible to get the login dialog to respond. Thunderbird cannot respond to window cycle requests, so I can't even get to the edit windows to screen-shot them. The only thing I can do is kill the process and lose everything.

    printscrn on the keyboard should still work unless the operating system is also dead.
    However, while it may be a bug please try the following steps to make sure.
    *Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
    *Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
    ; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

  • Local lines upgraded but my speed stays the same

    Hello, i'm currently on the Broadband option 3 (20meg unlimited), and when we took it out we were told that our lines would only support around 8mb but there was scheduled work in the pipeline that would give us a speed increase.
    Now this work has completed and the website quotes a possible speed of 17mbps on our line, but my home hub still shows us as 8mb.
    Can anyone explain the process to getting this changed? I've been happy with the service (especially as they were up front about the realistic speeds I would get) so that's not an issue, but if i'm paying for 20mb and It's in the ground...then that's what I want to see on my connection!

    Hello,
    Good news. We’ve upgraded our network in your area
    Remember we let you know we were rolling out our faster broadband? We’ve now done it in your area. We always offer the fastest speed your line can take and now your broadband speed and connection should be faster and more stable than before.
    You can find out more at www.bt.com/networkupgrade
    We’re sorry if you lost your broadband and phone connections for a few minutes during the upgrade, but they should be working again now.
    If you received that email then you don't normally have to agree another contract to get the upgrade - only if you want the upgrade in advance of it being made available to all on the  exchange.
    Depending on your distance from the exchange you could be upgraded to 21cn but not get any increase in speed.  Check the modulation in your router and if 992.1 you have not been upgraded.  21Cn is 992.3 or 992.5

  • Why do vector objects copied from illustrator cc don't stay the same dimensions when pasted into pho

    I think the problem started with the last updates. The normal work flow of copy and paste no longer functions correctly.
    Photshop is changing the dimensions of vector artwork copied from illustrator, and pasted to photoshop.
    If I start with a 6in x 6in vector shape in illustrator, and select copy, I should be able to go into photoshop, select file and then new,
    and the document should automaticly get the dimensions from the clipboard. For some reason that 6in x 6in opens a 0.6in x 0.6in document.
    Even if i manually change the document to 6in x 6in, anything else I copy from illustrator larger than 6in x 6in gets its dimensions changed to fit inside the document. I cant copy and paste a 10in x 2in vector into the 6in x 6in document without photoshop changing the dimensions
    so it fits inside the document. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks.

    illustrator has no dpi, that info wont copy to the clip board. There are setting within illustrator you can set so when you do raster something in illustrator, you can pick what dpi it will raster it to. But even if you raster something in illustrator, the dpi info doesn't copy to the clipboard.
    The Photoshop: File, New, opens a window with the default set to pixels and 72ppi. When you have something stored on the clipboard, First you change the pixels to inches, cm, mm, anything but pixels, the dimensions stay locked in and Then you can change the ppi to anything you want.
    The issue once the file is opened, and you try to copy and paste in something larger than the canvas still needs corrected. I have found a quick work around. After you paste it, before you select ok or hit enter, look at the info where it displays the % of the size of what's being placed.
    It shows it at less than 100%, so change it to 100% (and constrain) and its back to original size.

  • Why is it that when I go to the search screen to find a particular message in a conversation it comes up with the message but when I click on it it takes me to the conversation where the most recent message was sent and not the message I wanted

    Why is it that when I go to the search screen and type in a particular message I want to view, my iPhone finds it but when I click on it it only takes me to the conversation at the most recently thing texted and not the particular message I clicked on?

    Never occurred to me you can search messages that way, thanks.
    Another way to do it is to scroll from the most recent message to the top of the screen and tap load more messages, repeatedly till you reach the one you want.
      I like your method better, but with both methods it refreshes to the most recent message.

  • Why is it that when I change the contacts on my phone, it changes them on my mom and dad's as well?

    My family and I recently got iPhones for Christmas. One for my dad, one for my mom, and one for me.  We also have an iPad 2.  They are all hooked up to iCloud via one username.  When we got the phones, we had trouble transferring our contacts from our old verizon phones to our new apple ones but we eventually got the contacts we needed.  At first, my mom's phone was not connected to the iCloud account shared by the rest of us and the iPad.  She wanted the calendar from the iPad so I deleted the account on her phone and added the iCloud account that the iPad was using.  All was fine until my dad and I realized that our contacts were wiped from our phones and replaced with my mom's.  I then started painstakingly deleted my moms contacts and replacing them on my own on my phone.  However, contacts were being deleted from my mom and dad's phone at the same time.  It's almost like the three phones are constantly synching with each other.  It would be ideal if we could get all of our contacts back the way they were before my mom changed her account but we would settle for this constant synching to stop. Please give us some direction here, we are new to this. Thanks in advance!

    Why is it that when I change the contacts on my phone, it changes them on my mom and dad's as well?
    Because, as you said "They are all hooked up to iCloud via one username. ". That is exactly what iCloud does.
    You need independent iCloud accounts for each person to maintain independent contact lists.

  • Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

    Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

    Hi, yes preferences sees there is a second display it recognises what make of monitor it is etc but I just get a blank blue screen on the monitor when I change it to the hdmi setting! I have tried with mirroring on and off, rearranging the displays in the preference window and lots of different resolution settings but with no difference.
    An old MacBook connects fine so the monitor and hdmi port must be okay. I'm sure we have used the cable before but it could have been with the previous MacBook Air. The current one I'm using is a mid 2011 version running lion and is (according to software update) all up to date.
    Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!

  • Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?

    Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?
    On another note, the iPhone tells me that it's ''busy'' when opening a photo on the computer.
    (I tried restarting my PC, connecting via another USB port, importing using PhotoStream, etc...)

    Are you using the front or rear camera? When you say they are low quality, are you referring to file/pixel size, or how the picture looks? As far as upside down, how are you holding the phone? Older versions of Windows have issues reading the Metadata from the pictures and will not display the same.

  • Why is it that when looking through  new apps in the  apps store on my ipad in release date mode  does it return to the first 1-12 after viewing pparticular apps?

    why is it that when I look through the new apps in the apps store in release date mode it returns to the first page after veiwing more information about some apps, I could be ten to twenty pages in and have it happen.
    Also, I only speak and read English and although there are probably great apps for people from other nations, I don't want to wade through all the apps that I can't make use of. I expect that people of other nationalities or languages don't want to have to wade through every app that they can't make use of, is there not a way that alI users could filter by language?
    I mean no offence to anyone but with a collection of hundreds of thousands of apps in all languages and the jump back to the begining after possibly being into the list by a number of pages I stop looking after awhile and I'm sure I've missed some excellent apps by doing so.

    Why is it that when I delete bookmarkes or favorites, they are also deleted from my husbands phone?

    Because you set both of them up using the same Apple ID for the iCloud account. Don't do that. You should each have your own iCloud account, even if you want to share an Apple ID for apps and music. Odds are, you are both receiving iMessages intended for the other as well.
