Most of my friends are having same issue, This issue though existent is less prominent on iphone 4 . Grecsy, The problem is not related to any App . This is a Iphone design issue. Best way is to check , just put the phone in Airplane mode. When you put in on again check the time it takes to catch the Mobile Signal. Its horendous compared to any other phone in Market

Sep 19, 2012 8:54 PMby Sabeer,As I mentioned earlier, I had faced this signal losses while I was in dubai using DU carrier. Now I came for holidays in India and using IDEA network for last 2months. To my surprise I didn't faced this problem in signal loss yet. IDEA has good network coverage on this place too.
This brings doubt, whether this signal loses has to do with iPhone or carrier.
Using iPhone 4S.

Jan 21, 2013 3:13 AMby Fedsure,Dear Apple and Steve Jobs,
This article will be related to "poor signal or No service issues" on the IPhone 4S, I watched your you tube video regarding iPhone signal issues, where you open by saying " all smart phones have issues", we not referring to all Android/smart phones, we referring to the IPhone !! I'm registered Disabled and need a phone that is re-liable, unfortunately this is not the case with my IPhone 4S, since iv had the phone it's been searching or No service ?. One would think Apple would get the problem resolved ? No it's obviously not, I noted your feedback regarding percentages of drop calls and returns ? This means nothing to a Apple customer having constant No Service issues, and from what I read on the Internet and word of mouth appears to be a large percentage ? I strongly believe if Apple don't address the issue YOU will loose your loyal Apple customers.
Contacted Apple care, was given 3 options to return phone, hello Disabled here, need a phone urgently Apple. Had the Blackberry 9800 previous, always had a signal.
Lets hope Apple responds !,,

Jan 25, 2013 11:15 AMby Krellasaafi,I also had this problem on my 4S. I called my network service provider who suggested turning off the 3G connection in settings. I did so, and this seems to have resolved the problem for me. Signal is now 3-4 bars whereas it was regularly zero or 1 bar before the setting change.

Apr 26, 2015 4:49 PMby shem.mbandu,Hi, I have the same problem in China. I bought a new Iphone 4S, IOS 8.3 on 24th April 2015 in Chengdu. I have only had it over the weekend but I must return it to the apple store today, Monday 25th April 2015. This is because I make so many calls. At one point yesterday, it dropped the same call 6 times.I had to switch to an android phone to complete my call. Even when it is on standby mode, it keeps dropping the signal, and spends most of the time searching. I made the calls at exactly the same place that I use for making calls from my old Nokia 2730 and Samsung Mega using the same service provider, i.e. China Mobile. It is so disappointing that I did not know this is a known problem yet remains unfixed even in 2015!!!! I met acquaintance a couple of months ago who has an iphone 4s and we exchanged contacts. He owns an iphone 4s. Every time I call him, I am very exhausted because half time is spent picking up bits of his speech and the other half of the time in reconstructing the message. I am very ****** off with apple. Antennae issues are a very basic feature of a phone. Before apple should think of sophistication and sleekness, deal with the basics!!
