IPhone :: Using New 4s On Straight Talk Low Signal Strength?
Apr 29, 2012
I am using a new I phone 4s on Straight Talk and I have only 1 to 2 bars maximum anywhere I go and then it will have no service at all.I was a previous verizon customer and had 4 to 5 sitting in my home now I have 1 or 2 and if I walk around sometimes goes to no service at all. Verizon did not have service everywhere I went but that was in hilly areas as I live in central Illinois and have talked to others with AT&T and they are getting better service than this as that is what towers Straight Talk uses. I am getting a Gel bumper cover and have already tried the black tape it did not help. It says I have 4 G sitting in house but cannot make a call and the 4G goes in and out also.
I have an A T & T iphone 4 on straight talk. It will call, text and email like a pro, but after configuring APN settings, I can't get MMS to work, sending or receiving. Straight talk gave me the mms settings, but I have no way to enter that screen. I'm not jailbroken or unlocked.
Just purchased iphone4 and inserted new Straight Talk Micro SIM, and the phone says it does not recognize it. It fits perfectly...any reasons why it would not recognize it? The phone worked perfectly before on ATT.
Recently, I began to have this problem where the phone is showing full signal but the phone is actually not receiving any signal. So calls will not come in at all.
I just got my Nokia E71 Straight Talk phone I downloaded Skype, updated maps and the phone worked fine. I bought a 16 GIG micro SD card put it in formatted it and now I can't find Skype, the GPS shows no maps even though I updated from OVI Suite. When I put the Card in that came with the phone it works. I did put songs on the new memory card and they work fine. What to do?
Hey there I am trying to use my LG Dare phone on the straight talk network... the straight talk network uses the verizon network but its sold though walmart and there is like 6 phones you can buy. I got an LG dare already I think there is a way this can be done anbody want to give me a tip or two... My e-mail is StoneComputers@live.com if you can't post the solution here
I was wondering if anyone knows what algorithm is used for the signal bars on the Photon 4G. I have found that there seems to be no correlation between the signal strength (in dBm / asu) in Settings -> About phone -> Status and the signal bars that are shown. Often the signal bars will shoot from 1 to 5 or 6 even with really low signal ( ~97 to > 100 dBm) that doesn't fluctuate.
I have a Straight Talk Samsung R451c. I keep trying to get Java apps on my phone. I called Samsung and they said it has Java, but Straight Talk disabled that and many more extensions from being downloaded onto the phone. They told me to call Straight Talk, so I did. They said it wouldn't be fair to the other customers if they told me how to enable downloading and Java. That being said, THERE IS A WAY TO HACK IT! Looking at the Samsung website seeing Java enabled is the ONLY reason I bought this phone. Click Here to see the Samsung specs. Not to mention I bought it on eBay for $108 w/accessories.I have another post in the Straight Talk forums, please help me out in trying to figure out how to do this. http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1609835
I bought new iphone 5s and facing huge problem with Signal strength it always show "No service"
But when I change my SIM card to my samsung phone then I am getting the signals properly at same location (My room).
If Samsung can access the signals why iphone can not ? Every time when I need to talk to somebody I have to go out of my room which is very irritating.
The first week i had my iPhone 4, i had about 1 bar.Right now i am having 3 bars which is what i usually get and sometimes 5 bars which never happened with my iPhone 3G.I heard that AT&T is enhancing their signal strength because of the overflow of the new iPhone 4 which could make sense but what about you?
i have very poor signal with my brand new iphone 4s that i only got yesterday on a contract, improve my signal, as my iphine is normally in NO SERVICE! would i be able to send it back to apple or something?
If anyone is still having problems with the signal strength, try turning off 3G and Location via Settings section. I constantly had only 1-2 bars, but once turning them off my signal has improved massively; now getting 5 bars 90% of the time. I reckon it is more 3G affecting the signal, but try with both off just to be sure. If it works, then turn on 3G only when needed.
During the last week i've uptated my iphone's iOS from the 5.1 to the 5.1.1 and now when I use it without the bumper or any other cover I can't find the 3G or the 2G signal.
I'm using iPhone 5s (32GB) on a 4G network in Singapore.
Ever since I upgraded my firmware to iOS 8 and later, among other frustrations like battery drain, I'm also facing a significant drop/fluctuation in the network signal strength, home WiFi signal, and the Bluetooth range.Â
I'm unable to stream videos like I used to on Cellular Data. I used to get (when the phone ran on iOS 7.1.2) all 5 bars most of the time even inside the lift/elevator, but now it switches to un-browsable (don't know why) 3G mode even at the heart of the city.Â
So after connecting to my wifi, (which I have been able to do forever) it gives me the wifi signal strength up in the top left corner, signal strength is good, but internet does nothing.
I have been using my iphone 5 since the last 9 months. The wifi just worked fine at home when connecting with the wifi router. It also worked fine everywhere I went where there was a wifi zone. Since the last 7 days or so I am facing a sudden problem. When connecting to my home Wifi, it shows full signal strength, yet the internet connection drops. At times, even whatsapp does not work, cannot send images most of the times. Apple store, iTunes and emails stops working mostly. I have reset my wireless router recenty and still this problem persists. There does not seem to be any problem with the router because other devices like my laptop and other mobile phones are working fine with wifi.
I'm loving everything about the i4 but I simply can't get the phone to hold a signal long enough to talk while holding it because of either the hardware or software issues. I was just trying to call my wife to tell her there was a huge storm coming and she couldn't hear me after a few seconds when the bars started dropping.
I have a problem with my signal when I enter my college building, the reception will fall so low that it will show "no service" and if I try to manually connect to my service provider, it says they are unavailable. my sim works fine, I've recently received a new sim, and my phone is updated to 2.1, awaiting the 2.3 update. I've upgraded from a Samsung Jet and even that had perfect signal in lessons, never went below 2 bars, so why is the X10 so poor at signal strength? is there anything I can do to stop this? is the phone at fault here?
Im having a huge problem with my phone. Galaxy s5 is the phone. Sent it to Samsung because it wouldn't charge. So they replaced the battery port and LED screen. Sent it back. I hooked it back up. Starting using it and now i cant get 4g anymore. It will come on then go out and have a X on signal bar. Then i cant do anything no calls no text no nothing. I have to switch over to 3G which really sucks. And even that goes out now. Im lost. What to do??. And this is my signal strength -113 dbm 0 asu. Not sure what it means
Does anyone know how to display signal stength in dbm instead of bars on the Pearl 9105 3g. On other blackberrys you type Alt+mnll but my phone does not have an alt key or a qwerty keys to do this.
I restarted my router and restored my phone to factory settings and it still wont connect to my home wifi. It will connect at work and everywhere else but home. Every time i try to connect it tells me "Failed to connect to WiFi please check your network connection" or whatever. And when i click on our home WiFi name it says the signal strength is Excellent....
So I made the leap from my iPhone 5S to the Icon on Friday and I'm enjoying it thus far. One thing I've noticed; however, is that the Verizon Network signal strength isn't nearly as good and I'm not sure if there's a way to reset it or others can confirm. For example at my house, where I always had 3-4 bars of LTE with my iPhone 5s and the 5 before it - I now can only get 2 with the Icon.
In the last month or so I have noticed less bars of 4G when I am at my office.I know Verizon has been tinkering with their network.So what would be a good dBm signal strength within a fairly close proximity to one of their towers?
