i am seeing isnt the cellphone but a firmware bug, if you change your network type from gsm cdma lte auto, to gsm cdma or wdma then the problem goes away, no signal problems at all, its only when you use the lte there are issues,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need help getting cell tower reception on my phone. Using China Unicom as Network Carrier. I am located in Guangzhou China (a major metropolis). The problem is not with the SIM Card itself because it has been tested and placed in other phones & it works well. Reception Bars fluctuate between 0-2 bars at most, both in and outdoors.Have noticed these problems since upgrading the phone to IOS 5.0 & now also on 5.1.1. No problem with Wi-Fi Networks. I have also tried Resetting the Network & taking out the SIM Card and putting it back in, but this has not helped.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just called a friend of mine that was planning on snagging an iPhone 4 within the next couple of weeks. He has a 3G and SWEARS BY using protective cases. He had multiple cases for his 3G. I asked him if he was going to get the new iPhone 4 anytime soon, and he replied "i'm going to wait until they get these reception issues fixed." I replied by saying, "well you use a case on your iPhone, so you shouldn't have any issues at all. In fact, I get BETTER signal strength with this iPhone." He went on to basically say that he was still going to wait until they fixed this "issue" with a software update. I don't understand why anyone that regularly uses a case on their iPhone, would be hesitant to buy the iPhone 4. A case shows the reception issue out the window. It's too bad all this bad publicity is making people think twice about buying this amazing phone. I know there are other issues besides the reception problem, but the reception issue is the most common. Everything else should be easily fixed by getting a replacement. I don't understand why there are still people complaining about sensor issues. Go get a replacement already.

View 15 Replies View RelatedForgetting the issue where you purposely try to make it lose signal (really..who holds their phone like that?), have you guys seen an increase in signal compared to your 3gs? It seems like the external antenna would help. I was at Best Buy (all sold out btw) and a guy had one and I asked him to look at it. My 3gS had 2 bars 3g signal and his had 5 bars 3g signal so this was my only comparison. It seems the *3001#12345#* trick doesn't work on 4.0 anymore? Hows real world usage?

When I tried removing the sim the phone did not recognise that I had taken it out. I still shown 2 bars on the reception WITH NO SIM!! What is going on? Has this ever happend before?

My new Iphone 4S has very poor reception. Updated software as per apple's support team suggestion, tried different SIM & service providers but signals are 50% compared to my Nokia / samsung handsets. Apple service centre & support team refuses repair/replacement in India since phone was bought from US. Really shocked by this since APPLE warranty should be worldwide & since it is a manufacturing problem in such a high end phone it should be replaced at the nearest service centre in India.

I bought a new n86 a few days ago but I found that the signal recertion is really very very low in some places compared to a nokia n70.At the time an n70 (or many other phones) has 7 bars , an n86 has NO bars (out of network coverage)That's a very frustrating problem, Can this problem be fixed? Is this a hardware or a software issue?Can the Nokia care find a solution to this problem?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI want you to try a couple of things based off what about to say. Today when I was around my house doing the normal everyday thing my phone at this time would have between 3-4 bars. As soon as I touched the left side slowly my phone dropped connection. (We all know this) Now the interesting part is today I was driving around and stoped by my local coffee shop. I looked at my phone and sure enough it was blue with full five bars. I tried every angle to touch the left side and guess what I could not get it to drop any bars. So I guess my point of this post is to see if people have tired this test in different spots just not around their office or home. I believe this issue is more widespread then customers are willing to admit or at least test.

View 12 Replies View RelatedSo since I have been having the reception antenna issues I thought I would make an appointment and stop in to the Apple store today. I told the guy all my issues and he said we can either replace it or give you a bumper and see if it helps. I thought it would be a good idea if I started fresh with a new phone. He went in back and came out with a box that was NOT the nice small iPhone 4 retail box.
It was plastic looking like one of those small hardware screwdriver boxes with all the little bits. He opened the box and in it was an iPhone 4 surrounded in black foam and the phone was wrapped in a little bag. My first thought was this has to be a refurbished or one someone brought back that was having a different problem. He said "How could it be refurbished? The phone just came out." I didn't believe him cause he has a odd smirk on his face when he said it.....
I have had a griffin reveal case on since day one, so the death grip really has meant nothing to me. My findings so far is that it gets far worse reception and dropped calls than my 3GS. In fact, living in miami where ATT signal is strong, I never had any problems with dropped calls on my 3GS. I also have the proximity sensor issue and am wondering if I just received a bad phone.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just got my unlocked iPhone 4. However, the reception is much worse compared to iPhone 3GS and 3G in the same place with same SIM-cards on two different carriers. iPhone 4 bars are always 3-5 smaller. Also, very often it is impossible to get service.I don't think this has anything to do with this widely known problem of touching iPhone since the problem is there even when I don't touch the iPhone. I have tried to restore the software and reset settings. Is there anything I could still try? Is it time to call Apple?
View 4 Replies View RelatedEvery time I charge my Bold (9650) I loose 2 bars of reception, this is not good due to the fact I only get 2 bars of reception in my house, my job requires me to be 'on call' and many times I haven't been notified of a situation that I need to address due to the fact I have lost reception- it will have low reception initially after it is plugged in but after an hour or 2 it looses reception completely- after I unplug the phone I immediately gain 2 bars of reception- also many times when I am texting the phone will freeze for approx 20 seconds - to the point of throwing the freaking phone against the wall (durable phone though).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Torch 9800 which is on the vodafone network and when I am at home in my flat I get zero reception (SOS). I initially thought it may be a network issue but this is not the case since when I switch my SIM to my girlfriend's phone (a Nokia) it shows full reception.
I haven't noticed a similar problem in any other locations but that's not to say it doesn't happen elsewhere i'm just unlikely to notice something like that anywhere other than at home or at work.
It's not about my network having poor reception, my network has fairly decent 3G coverage in my area as my Dad's BlackBerry Bold constantly gets 5 bars of 3G. I bought a Hazel, I love it but seems I've been getting rather poor reception. I tried switching to GSM only but I only get unstable reception. Is there a software update? Too bad the phone doesn't come with a USB cable.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm in the market for a new phone, and I like the looks of the 2730. I know its basic but right now I don't need a smartphone. It reminds me of the 6700 Classic, but I'm sure the quality can't be as good. (I haven't tried either one, only read some reviews online). How is the reception quality of the 2730? Also curious about the build quality, too.Does it feel cheap?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently from an area that had amazing reception for Verizon to a small town in Western North Dakota. The problem I'm having is that there is Verizon towers present but they are so far away and reception is almost nothing off of them, but if I go into the basement of my house my phone automatically bumps over to the Alltel tower just down the road. My parents get full reception on their phones, and what I'm wondering is if I can use any of the options in the "##PROGRAM11000" menu to make it so the phone locks onto the strongest tower and not the strongest verizon tower so I can have some hope of using my phone at my house. I just signed a renewal contract before I moved (the move was unexpected for an amazing job) and really don't want to cancel and go to Alltel.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I waited patiently in line for my iPhone 4 at my local AT&T store this morning. I paid and then left with my brand new phone. I decided to test out the RF of the phone by driving through weak areas. Places where my 3gs and Bold 9700 lost signal the 4 held on strong (calling and texting too). There were a few places where all phones were lost as far as getting a signal, but the iPhone 4 had usable coverage in places others didn't. Later in the afternoon I left on vacation (at the hotel now) and the iPhone 4 held on where the other phones always lost it (the gaps between two towers). My brother complained he didn't have any signal (LG AT&T phone) and I looked at my iPhone 4 and had 2 bars EDGE. Got to the hotel and only had 2 bars 3G with the iPhone 4. I put my brother's sim in my 3gS and that phone remained at 'No Service'. It won't magically create signal, but IMO the iPhone 4 does an amazing job of finding service and holding on in fringe areas. With all of the "reception" issues, I thought I'd just like to point out not all of us are having the same issues.
*I've used BB 9700, 3GS, and v3xx all within the past 3 months or so.
I got a iPhone 4S and from the iOs 5.1 update, i got slow wifi reception.
