Q: Static in Iphone 4s
-
Dec 6, 2011 7:54 AMby BasWind,Did anybody tryout the beta of iOS 5.1 yet? I'm curious if it solves the static. If we believe the apple representatives (and I hope we can), they're aware of the problem and are trying to fix it.
I switched to a windows phone 2 weeks back, but iOS is way better. I ordered a new 4s without a contract directly from the apple store this time. If all goes well, I'll receive the phone next week. I'll keep you posted.

Dec 6, 2011 8:02 AMby mechie8682,My two cents on some recent observations. Off late, I have not heard as much static on my phone. Both on wi-fi and 3G. Nothing changed as such on the device side. Didn't do any resets or restores. So I wonder...
May be I just got used to it but I doubt it since at times I try hard to listen to it but don't get much static. Could that have anything to do with the story BGR ran on Phoenix getting some big ATT upgrade (I live there)? Don't know...

What's your advice? This is my 3rd phone (iPhone 4s 16GB Black) replaced by genius bar. Should I go to genius bar and try to replace again?
