Yes I am getting the same.


I am on 3 mobile uk.


First the 3G disappears then the network signal goes.


"searching" appears for a few seconds then it works again.


Navigation is useless like this.


I think others are getting this too.


One idea is to disable the SIM pin but I didn't have one in the first place.


Either it is dodgy software or rubbish electronics.


More likely it is both.

Same here! using Telstra in Australia. Worked fine for a day and now on my second day the phone constandly drops out.


Near full bars "Telstra 3G", the 3G will then disappear, then the Telstra and then it will just display "Searching....."

This is really ******* me off too.


The phone was working fine till today (aside from the absolutely horrible battery life ... thanks Apple). After my first meeting this morning I checked the phone and noticed it was frozen in a loading state, not sure what it was trying to load or do. After waiting a few minutes, the phone was still frozen so I did a hard shutdown. Ever since its been consistantly dropping full bar 3G signal. It goes from full bar, freezes for a second and straight to "Searching..."


I swear, if I didn't have all these apps I would have already switched. I think next year I will look into alternatives.

It's definitely not a Telco issue. My wife has a iphone4 with Telstra, and I have iphone4s. Her phone stays at full bar and 3G (with push email working, so it's def connected), while mine drops out and goes in to "searching...".


I noticed my wifi signal also randomly drops to 1 bar, even when I'm right next to the Airport Extreme or Express.


Has anyone succesfully managed to resolve these issues?
