Verizon iPhone 6 Signal Problem

I Switched to vz because of the voice and data... If ios 8.1.1 doesn't fix this issue, I'm going back to AT&T. Turning off an advertised feature is not a solution.

I have the same problem as everyone else on this forum. I just got my phone this week so it was from the next batch of Verizon deliveries. What does this mean? Why aren't our phones working? Will switching to AT&T solve the problem? Should we all give up on Apple and get Samsungs?! APPLE- help! Seriously, this is totally unacceptable. No one is doing anything to fix the problem 100s if not 1000s of people are having across the country for the most expensive phone possible in the States. We live by our phones- they need to work!

Has anyone found anything that works? Will going to the Apple store and getting a replacement change or resolve the issues?

I received my phone two days ago and I also noticed the LTE problem these two days. Mine is iphone 6 64G gold with verizon. I'll go to apple store tomorrow to see if I can get a replacement and if the new one works. So sad that Apple is not the one it used to be. More important is that they do not realize.

This is exactly the issue I have, my wife has a 5c and it's easy to see the huge difference between the two phones, I'm just really HOPING that it's a software issue, but now that I'm still having it on iOS 8.1.1 I'm starting to worry it's hardware.....I hope Apple announces something soon.

Did a replacement help?

What does VZ say now?

I have had the same problem. I took the phone (64 GB Gold) to Apple and they ran a diagnosis on the phone and said looks like a RAM failure and lots of APPS crashing, They replaced my phone on the spot. The next day I had the same issue, I then took my phone to Verizon to have the SIM card exchanged which they did successfully. STILL the problem persists. It seems when I talk to either company they have no idea why this is happening. I find it very hard to believe that this discussion is the small majority of phone issues. I wish Apple and Verizon would acknowledge these errors, If it is a software issue it needs to be fixed immediately. I may return my new phone and wait till I know this problem is corrected. There also seems to be a sepearte issue with the type of memory that is used on this phone. Very frustrated with an Apple product for the first time in my life. I expect a non-working product to hit the shelves from Microsoft but not Apple. This is an embarrassing release of a product.

It has been almost a month since i got iphone 6 64gb from Verizon. I also got replaced once by Apple. I also got new sim card from Verizon but the problem with data download is awful. I already posted twice here. Let me briefly put again. Download speed of LTE comes to 100 to 300 kbps in daytime (6 am to 11 pm) and between these time it comes 4 to 19 mpbs. One more thing, if I go approx 700 meters away from my workplace in all directions, I will get great LTE speed. I talked with Verizon and Apple. Verizon's engineers reported that they have some signal problem in my area and may have congestion during daytime. Cuz of this, they gave me great promotions, like $5 discount x 12 months with 1-yr contract instead of 2-yr and anytime upgrade. , no problem with voice over LTE, no drop calls, nothing. One more thing, I put prepaid sim card (using T-mobile towers) in iphone 6 and there was no problem with LTE speed or voice. By all this, it seems Verizon has problem with LTE data speed in certain areas. Any inputs from anybody...!!!

8.1.1 is out, anyone see any improvements?

No improvement in 4g LTE service from Verizon after the update...I got text message after filing complaint with Verizon that "coverage in my area is marginal and indoor signal will be weak and is not guaranteed." And their 4G map shows full bar 4G coverage in my area. So its Verizon fault and not Apple.

@LostHopeI6

In fairness to Verizon, coverage maps are not guaranteed coverage. In ideal conditions, yes, you should have LTE in places where the map says you will. But most of us do not live in ideal conditions. There are a lot of factors that can affect signal strength, especially indoors. So I wouldn't place the blame on Verizon for that.

not even indoor but outdoor few hundred yards away in open space poor signal problem especially with data and Verizon did accept it.

Received my iPhone 6 through Verizon a few weeks ago and have had terrible cellular reception in my home — my voice dropping out to the point of having to end the call — whereas my husband's iPhone 5 has had perfect reception over the past couple years. I'm in the process of getting a replacement from Verizon BUT I think we've made a discovery as to the problem, and it's software.

I've restored from iCloud backup a couple times, and also set up the phone as a "new phone" the same number of times. Each time I "erase all content and settings" and set it up as a new phone, my reception is very good; each time I "erase all content and settings" and restore from my iCloud backup, the phone has issues with reception, sending/receiving texts, etc. My prior phone was an iPhone 4 with iOS 6, from which I made the iCloud backup, so my theory is that restoring this iCloud backup to the iPhone 6 (with iOS 8) is moving over old settings/data that are somehow messing the phone up. (I have not tried using a backup from iTunes.)

Anyone else have a similar experience? I'll keep testing (with both this and the replacement iPhone 6) and report back here.

@bleber

Do you have Verizon's "Advanced Calling" feature (VoLTE) enabled? If so, this might be your problem. Advanced Calling uses LTE for voice calls. It does NOT transfer the call to 3G if you lose LTE coverage -- it will just drop the call. So if LTE coverage in your house is spotty, this might be the problem.

Another related issue might be that Advanced Calling is enabled on your account but not on your phone. This happened to me. My calls kept dropping when I got my iPhone 6, but once I turned on VoLTE on my phone it seemed to fix that. Go to Settings > Cellular > Enable LTE should be set for "Voice and Data". This only works of Advanced Calling is enabled, and is only supported on the iPhone 6.

I have the same problem, terrible data coverage and it certainly favors 3G over LTE. When I toggle on/off airplane mode, it goes back to LTE. Very strange.
