I noticed that I am only getting a couple of bars in my house with the 3Gs whereas before with the 3G, I was getting 5. Is the reception worse on the 3Gs or is the meter just more accurate?
It is frustrating, but all you can do is send feedback to Apple. The more people who do, then I guess the more likely it is that they will pay some attention to this issue.
Have been losing incoming calls since upgrading to the latest software upgrade 3.1.3 with 3GS being useless and even before the upgrade. Seems to me we have a bad designed antennae or some other hardware that can't be fixed with any software updates. Will Apple be honest and ethical enough to clarify the problem ?
My wife and I just bought the iPhone 3GS and switched to AT&T. We were very happy Verizon customers, but moved to an area that there is no Verizon service.
The AT&T coverage map shows that we are in the middle of coverage. We are not in 3G coverage, but atleast it's service where we didn't have anything before.
Well, whatever to that. The iPhones CONSTANTLY fluctuate signals EVERYWHERE. I was driving on the interstate last night and the phone dropped the call. I was in the middle of a city that has 3G coverage, and the phone was constantly moving between 1 bar of E to 5 bars of 3G with me holding the phone in one place.
I've tried some resets, but not taping the sim card. It seems to me that it would be a problem with the phone more than the network.
I know there hasn't been any real solutions to this yet, but wanted to add me to the list as the newest AT&T dissatisfied customer.
Boy, am I glad I found this thread. I love my iPhone, but I can't use it at my house. I am having the same fluctuations not from 5 bars but from 3 to 0. I can't recall having this problem with this phone in Germany and therefore I thought it was t-mobile. I will most definitely try out the tape with the sim card, maybe the simcard thickness is slightly different here. Who knows but it is worth a try!
