Bad Signal after 4.1 update (no it'snt an hardware issue)

Simple bump to keep this major problem front page. I've given apple alot of my money (my third Iphone) and I would actually like to have service for calls. Can anyone link an article where it at least says they are working on a fix?

I am having the same problems ever since upgrading to 4.1 and only just bought the phone.
Is anything being done about this?

Does Apple watch these forums?

This is just like windows XP update problems!!!

Would be nice to see this fixed soon. Does anyone have any information saying that they are trying to resolve the issue?

Not problem
I had face this problem but I solved it in iphone 4 iOS4.1
But I am not sure ur case otherwise that will fit U fun n happy

Plz install ultrasn0w from repo666.ultrasn0w.com in Cydia
Try it

I dont think Apple understands how serious this issue is. We shouldn't be looking for information on how Apple will solve this. They should fix the issue for us. I have had the same problem as the rest in this thread for a week, and I am leaving iPhone all together. It is simply put horrible and completly unacceptable for a _mobile phone_ to have issues like that. You should never be expected to hacks, workarounds or upgrades for the basic phone features to work. Never. That just have to work, and it doesn't on my iPhone.

I have an iPhone through work, so I haven't paid for it my self, thank god, but I am handing it in and demanding a droid... There's no alternative, really

It is so silly how apple screws up a stable phone platform like the 3GS by releasing a firmware upgrade meant to fix reception problems!!!!

I suddenly had same issue with mine (officially unlocked & never jail-broken) & eventually realized that enabling 3G radio will put it into searching mode until "no signal" is all what I get. If I disable 3G, it works perfectly but what's the point then!
I thought it might have started cause something inside it broke cause I dropped it multiple times, which made frustrated... But here I find plenty of people facing the exact same problem due to the 4.1 update

Do I hear apple saying to google & others, pls come & take my market share?

They should quickly fix firmware problems, confess about it, or allow downgrade until they fix it if its going to take them ages... Unless they want to keep is waiting for next phase of refresh when iPhone5 is available

does anybody know if the iOS 4.2 just released fixes this problem?

Am afraid of putting it and go worse with more trouble... lost confidence already

Same problem here with 4.2.1 on an iPhone 3GS. Signal strength went from four bars to one bar or "No Service".

I have updated to 4.2.1 today and will test for a couple of days and report back.

Issue still exists after my update!!! 😟 spoke to Apple again and they suggested that some piece of sOftware has disrupted the antenna (???!?!?!) and to try a complete reformat and start from scratch thus losing all of my settings/files/saves/call history/messages e.t.c. I cant see that that is a suitable resolution considering the amount of info stored on my phone!

still the same.. 3g with 4.2.1

screw you apple.. 4 month without my iphone..

in sweden u cant call apple, you can go to apple dealer but they will say that they wont touch the phone because u didnt buy it from them.....................HELLO U CANT BUY THE IPHONE WITHOUT SUBSCRIPTION IN SWEDEN! RETARDS!
I WONT TO SPEAK TO APPLE...............
