Re: An update on my streaming issues

2013-03-02 Thread Joseph Hudson
Hi Seacord okay yeah I do remember that now that he lives in Vancouver Canada, 
then we may need to narrow it down to Internet companies that she's using for 
his wireless router and have him look at their signals and talk to them about 
that, because I would have the same issues and it could be a bad batch of 
phones. And it could also be that he dated to do everything good when the 
sentence out the last update first-rate issues so we'll just have to check and 
see when the next version of iOS comes out PS whenever I mean I had the same 
issues whenever I was with a local company here called in bar/century link I 
will be able to get on the Internet in the morning and then not get off of 
eight until it go down from about 1 o'clock till about sometimes eight. Because 
even though he could not sure with the phone but five iPhone 4S and forest 
could've been now that has been Olvet better than the five just keep in mind 
that the five doesn't stay on watch all the time that still persist he might 
look at it and still has bars, but then he can lock screen and I can bounce off 
where not sure that I think we need to get somebody addition, to look at these 
issues.

Hi Joseph,

Grant lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada which is a city of over 2
Million with perfect 3G and LTE cell coverage. I can understand your point
and that in a country like Afghanistan you may not get a perfect signal all
the time, but apart from having issues streaming via a data connection
Grant's iPhone 5 also has these problems when it's connected to a WiFi
connection. You do raise a good point, though, even here in North America 3G
is not necessarily the same everywhere. When I was in Las Vegas last
November I bought a T-Mobil SIM and while my iPhone said I had a 3G
connection, it seemed much slower than here at home in Canada and SIRI
didn't work half as good and fast and quite often not at all.

Sieghard

Hi Grant my name is Joseph, and I'm in the US and I am holding an iPhone five, 
and I have not had any streaming issues with my iPhone five in the last update 
just wanted to let you know. So I'm wondering if this is just happening where

Re: An update on my streaming issues

2013-02-27 Thread Pete Nalda
It almost sound to me this is a hardware issue, since it's the OP's only iPhone 
5 that exhibits this behavior.  I'm no tech, but it sure sounds like an antenna 
issue of some sort.  BTW, is the OP (original poster) checking the amount of 
bars of wifi signal?  Even if it's showing 4 bars, there could be something 
wrong with processor or reception.  YMMV.

countless streams and countless WIFI networks and the problem still
persists. It's a puzzle, all right.

My iPhone wasn't replaced for at least a couple weeks, but I suppose it
could have been from the same, troublesome, "batch" of phones. If there are
no diagnostic steps that the engineers recommend, I'll request another
repair.

The strange thing is that I know a few people with iPhone 5s and they mostly
complain about the same problems. There's only a lucky few that I've
encountered who have no streaming problems at all. So I would have chalked
this up to an iPhone 5 defect, and yet there are people who can happily
stream all day  long.

Yep, I have an unlocked phone and I've tried on 3G, LTE and WIFI in
two countries. I've replaced my router, I've replaced my phone, I've
tried countless streams and countless WIFI networks and the problem
still persists. It's a puzzle, all right.

My iPhone wasn't replaced for at least a couple weeks, but I suppose
it could have been from the same, troublesome, "batch" of phones. If

Hi Don and Grant,

 

Depending on how quick the iPhone was replaced there is always a chance that
it is from the same batch. Grand, just to verify, you have tried to stream
on somebody else's WiFi, correct? I think you said you did, but this would
be a good way to make sure it is not a problem with your particular WiFi
setup/router. It's even possible that another iPhone whether a 4S or 5 could
be working well on your WiFi and that it simply comes down to some sort of
incompatibility between your particular iPhone 5 and your router. I'm not
saying that this is the problem, but I have also seen enough strange things
going on with computers and networks that I wouldn't exclude that
possibility. Have you ever just gone to an Apple Store and asked them to
connect the phone to their WiFi and then stream something that you know
doesn't work well at home?

Sieghard

An update on my streaming issues

2013-02-26 Thread Grant Hardy
Hi all,

 

I continue to have major problems streaming internet radio stations on my
iPhone 5. I feel like the problem is maybe a little more prevalent on 802.1N
WIFI networks, but the reality is, it happens on any connection. Placed next
to an iPhone 4S on the table and playing the exact same station on the exact
same network, the 4S plays for hours whereas the 5 has to buffer frequently
or just downright disconnects. At the same time, other data on the 5 (iTunes
Match, mail, YouTube videos, downloading apps) is lightning-fast and
reliable.

 

I went ahead and called Apple and was quickly escalated to a senior advisor
where he had me send in my diagnostic data, perform a complete restore and
set up my phone as a new device. Nothing changed; the problems are still
there. The advisor escalated higher, indicating that a report was going to
be sent to Apple's engineers. I emphasized that I had the same issues on my
previous iPhone 5, therefore I was more interested in getting down to the
root of the problem than simply swapping out the phone again. I'm told I'll
hear back within around a week. The senior advisor did notice that there
were maybe a few more crashes and low memory warnings than normal in the
diagnostic logs, but I suspect this has less to do with the streaming issues
than my usage patterns: I don't reboot my phone very often.

 

It's clear that they are not really very familiar with streaming internet
radio (maybe this is kind of a niche feature these days?) so I don't think
they really have a handle on exactly what's going on. Still, I'm very
impressed with how far you can actually escalate an issue with Apple and
I'll keep you guys posted when I hear back from the team.

 

Should anybody be still experiencing streaming difficulties on their iPhone
5, I would encourage you to invest a couple of hours in calling Apple and
going through the suggested diagnostics. That way, hopefully they will know
that mine are not isolated issues. Personally, I have a feeling that Apple
won't have much more to tell me; this might be something I need to let go,
but that does seem rather unfortunate given that the device should be very
capable of streaming audio. However, you never know!

 

In any case, I'll keep you posted!

 

Cheers,

 

Grant
