Why is the wifi reception on my iPhone 5 so poor. I'm not talking about in my own home with my own router. I'm talking about AT&T hotspots, public hotspots, etc. I can hold my 3GS and my 5 side by side, the 3GS picks up more signals with more strength. The 5 seems to have a weaker wireless network than its predecessors. It's very frustrating because I can be 20 feet from a wireless router, and still only show 2 bars, if I don't end up losing the connection. What gives??

I've done the resets...no real help at all.  Im Also on my 2nd iPhone 5. The first was replaced because of a faulty external speaker module. Both phones wifi reception pretty much suck. ESPECIALLY if the case is on. I'll luck out a little bit by taking the case off...but not much.

  • Why is the compatibility from CC to CS6 so poor?

    Why is the compatibility from CC to CS6 so poor at times? I've never had more issues with backwards compatibility that with CC Illustrator to any older version of Illustrator (specifically CS6, which is *only* 1 generation removed.) This is pretty surprising as compatibility issues with non-CC versions of Illustrator weren't as frequent, or fraught with errors and issues as they are with CC. I figure it's probably a not-so-subtle ploy to 'convince' (strong-arm in a very unprofessional fashion) everyone to upgrade to CC and get their monthly fees. I'm really quite frustrated, and very disappointed in the non-friendly manner in which CC software interacts (or, rather, doesn't) with older versions.

    A number of things, the first few that come to mind - opening CC files in CS6. Quite a number of issues with fonts (converting some fonts and fractions to outlines or a default 'box'), converting entire layouts to clipping masks, breaking layers apart and converting multiple artboard documents into multiple page PDF AI files (which is really weird) amongst other things...

  • HT4528 Why is the WiFi and browser so slow on iPhone 5?

    Why is the WiFi and browser so slow on iPhone 5?  I've noticed they are not as quick as other smart phones and have seen this brought up in forums.  Also, the WiFi was slow with my iPhone 4 anyone know what the deal is?
    Thanks in advance

    Sadly that spiffy reply was of no use.  Browser is so slow and in looking at 3 different iPhones I have noticed there is a serious wait for any simple page to come up like MSN maybe its the iOS maybe Safari maybe should reset daily.  Truly not impressed Apple can you here us now?  Probably not... to busy restarting or resetting.
    Truly hope it improves in a hurry.

  • How many miters is the iphone wifi and why dosnt the wifi atchive long rang networks

    how many miters is the iphone wifi and why dosnt the wifi atchive long rang networks

    I don't understand your question at all. I think you are asking what the range is for WiFi on an iPhone. It meets the WiFi standard, which is 40 meters if there are no obstructions, much less if there is anything at all between the phone and the router. My iPhone meets the standard.

    Hi there bananas321,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    why is the WIFI so slow on my 2011 MBP? its getting frustrating

    Hi Jeff,
    Can you elaborate on your issue a bit further. What is "slow" in your approximation? Tell us about the environment you're in, what type of router, band and channel. How many other wireless routers does your machine pick up? Is it slow other places with wireless or just this current location? New issue, ongoing?

  • Why is the speakerphone so low in iPhone 3GS?

    Why is the speakerphone so low in iPhone 3GS? I have a maximum volume still it is not clear, Is there a way to increase it by any other method?

    I have the same issue. Low volume while using speakerphone function. At 1' (30cm) it measures at almost half the dB of a blackberry pearl speakerphone. Basically renders the speakerphone function unusable in anything but the quietest environments, and even then its questionable. There are several people in the office I work at that have a 3G and 3GS phones. 3G phones tend to be a bit better but still quiet compared to Motorola, Nokia, and Blackberries. The other 3GS phones were just as bad as mine. This is definitely not a user error.

    The wifi reception on my 3rd gen iPad is terrible. I have an original iPad and iPad2, works fine with them. Is there is a software update to fix this?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

    I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
