ok guys here's my problem. Before i had a jailbroken iphone running 4.2.1, i decide since ios 5 came out to un-jailbreak and run ios 5. I did so and update to ios 5 and now every so often at least once a day my phone drops all bars and says no service. I have restored it several times...even as a new phone. It recognizes the carrier, but it just loses service for no reason. It works for about 12 to 14 hours then it will mess up. Some times i even get an activation required message after i turn it off. Anybody got any help i have no idea awhere to go from here except get a new phone.
experience almost same issue ,had no choice but to get another telephone
after a week of being bounced back and forth between at&t and apple
called at&t simm card replaced, few hours later issue returned,
next day went to apple store after setting up genius bar appointment in less that ten minutes tech hit system restore , net work settings , by the time i paid for parking and returned home the issue returned
next day
went back to apple store explained problem , by this time i can hit system restore and restore network settings,this is not what i want to do i am missng calls ect....
Tech advised back up phone on computer and reset phone as a new phone if this does not work revert back to old 3 g or purchase another phone since my eligibility will not be available until april
called at&t ...sevice rep advised me look at variable it is not a service issue and did not even bother trouble shooting , request to speak with manager and was told he was too busy but would call me back on the phone i am unable to use
a week has gone by i purchased another phone
am i happy no...
I purchased a i phone 4 that has been a night mare with unresolved issues at the $200 price in less than a month i was switched to a refurnished phone due to software "issues' dropped calls, echo noise , received a bumper that did not resolve anything.
I can estimate 3 to 4 months for real service and auctually being able to use my phone with out issues in the past 14 months
a $98 monthly phone bill = $1,372 to at&t
a $200 unsucessful purchase and a $149 purchase = $349 to apple
apple does not want to deal with you if you did not purchase the $69 apple care warrenty/protection plan
a few months later some strange yellow light started glowing up the phone, returned to apple and rec another refurnished phone and yesterday had to purchased anothe ref phone
