So anyone with any dropped calls, lack of service and POS over all on a iP5? I have tried everything possible from reload OS and all. According to VZW my wife had 23% of dropped calls in the last months bill

Use Field Test mode:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/20/field...ength-numbers/

Quote:
Field Test Mode is a hidden feature on the iPhone which allows you to see technical details of the device, the most useful of which is the true signal strength displayed as a number rather than the traditional signal bars.

Entering Field Test Mode on iPhone

This will work on any iPhone model except the original:

From the iPhone keypad, dial *3001#12345#* and hit "Call"



You'll immediately see the signal numbers in the upper left corner, and you can tap around the menus to discover other random features and information that is generally meaningless outside of cell technicians and field operators. If you hit the Home button you'll quit out of Field Test and the signal indicator will return to bars rather than the signal numbers, but it's easy to always see the numbers too as described below.

Enabling Signal Number as Reception Indicator Rather Than Signal Bars

To always see the signal numbers rather than the signal bars, you'll use the Force Quit app function to kill Field Test when it's open:

1. Dial *3001#12345#* and hit "Call" if you haven't done so already to launch Field Test
2. Now hold down the Power button until the "Slide to Power Off" message appears, then release the Power button and hold the Home button until Field Test quits
3. Tap the signal bars or signal numbers to switch between the two

To remove the tap-to-switch signal indicator ability, you can either reboot the iPhone or go back into Field Test and close out of it as usual.

How to Read the Field Test Signal Indicator Numbers

The numbers don't follow a scale that makes much sense to normal people, but the lower the number (in other words, the more negative) the worse the signal, and the higher the number (less negative) the better.

Anything above -80 is good, and would be considered full bars
Anything below -100 is bad, and would be considered few bars

For example, a signal number of -105 is considerably worse than a signal of -70. You'll generally find that anything approaching -100 or lower is fairly bad reception, while anything above -80 is usually good, and if you tap the number signal it's usually shown as full bars. The full range of the signal numbers extends from -40 to -120, with -120 being a nearly impossible number to see because it means no reception, and -40 would be about the strength you'd get being right alongside a cell tower.

If you're having any problems getting this to work, or you want to see how to do this yourself before jumping in, watch the video below:

My AT&T iP5 is a POS. Apple says it's AT&T. AT&T says it's Apple. It's great.

I have to reboot the phone at least once daily. It did this awesome thing the other day where it said I had full signal and LTE, but I had nothing. When I eventually tried to go to a website it didn't load, so I rebooted and got 5 texts and 50 emails when it came back, due to an emergency at work that I was completely unresponsive to for 2 hours. Awesome timing.

Go to AT&T and ask for a new sim card.

It seems you have to open a ticket with VZW and wait till they call back saying if they replace the phone or not. As far as switching carriers it is a no go due to something called 2yr contract

The thing is it seems to be the actual phone, as from some searching ppl with the same phone on other carriers have almost the same issue if not other stupid stuff.

Strange, they (Apple) are usually quite good at exchanging for another refurb; at least once anyway. I'm assuming they are saying it's the network issue and not a hardware thing?

anything below -80 would be great is how I read it. Like -60 would be amazing.

So got off the phone with VZW, I got a cool tech. I asked him if he was married. He said, yes. So then I said, does your wife complain about stupid things such as the one I am calling about? Answer is yes. Good help me out then.

Getting a replacement phone, getting it on Thursday with a new SIM card as well.

I may have meant above when I meant below. -60 is a higher number than -80. http://i.imgur.com/MZyf9HN.gif

Hehe exactly. That's why I was puzzled when my -95 was reflected by four bars (I would've thought 3 bars at most). I forget if -80 was the four bar or if anything higher (e.g. -60) was four bars.

Oooh, -97 now, three bars.

So does this field test relate to data speed and everything or just phone reception? Because I am seeing 4 bars, -75, and like 2mbs...

I guess I don't see the scenario where a locked phone is worth that much. If I were to pay near full price for a phone ($650 gets an unlocked 32gb 5), I'd want an unlocked one to use on something like straight talk. Best of luck on the sale.
