is anyone else having dropped calls and horrible reception on ATT carrier with iphone 4s?
iPhone 4
Hi Daniel. I am also in Sweden having the same problem on Tele2.
Service keeps going down, 3G doesn't work and so on....
I hope we get an update soon.
Cheers
Same problem here. Sweden, Tele2.
I tried disabling SIM PIN, and it worked for a while, I thought it was fixed. Back to normal.
Pray for an update guys.
I'd be interested in knowing if you have the same problem when Location Services are disabled through the settings menu... Does your 3G connection stay more stable when Location Services (GPS) are disabled?
Thanks for the reply, super_dracus..
I called ATT today and they agreed to give me a $50 credit on my bill for all the dropped calls since 10/14.
I've lost more in revenue thank $50, my time certainly is worth more than $50 and the frustration I've caused my clients is beyond a $50 pittance.
I also went to the Apple store where I purchased my 4s and due to the 30 day buyer's remorse clause, they happily (and kindly) brought out a new iphone 4s to swap mine out for.
The feedback i received from the Apple Store manager is this:
1. we should be getting updates soon to fix any issues they have learned about--so keep an eye out for those.
2. out of 5million phones sent out in 2 weeks, there are going to be some lemons--he hopes that the new phone i got today won't have the issues--we will see.
The only good news I can report after getting the replacement phone today is that i have 2-3 signal bars versus 1-2 most of the time. I've only made a handful of calls on new phone---1 connection was bad (same issue as before), the other few were fine.
I will be taking my family member's iphone 4s back to the ATT Store where i purchased it the day after i purchased mine. We will see what ATT says in person. So...basically 2 iphone 4s purchased on different days, different locations (apple store & att store), and in different cities (adjacent nonetheless)---have the SAME EXACT PROBLEMS.
We will see and update soon.
PS i tried to see if disabling the location services helped...nope.
Thanks for the reply hlpconsult..
I have an appointment with a Genius at the Apple Store near me. They want to see the problem in person.
I suspect they'll get it figured out soon.
Hi to everybody!! From Spain, please sorry for my English, i will try to explain my experience.
Of course i have battery problems, i'm waiting for the ios 5.0.1 to fix them..
The most important it's the dropped calls, my carrier is Orange Spain.
Localization option it's always disable.. one day i enter in the system option, i put all of them of, and then i repeat to put localization in off, mi 4s was crazy... every five minutes more or less, don't have 3g and always appears the message searching... battery life will decrease very fast with this options deact...
Next day i put localization in on, enter in the system services, and only put off Diagnostics , and IADs, and Time Zone.. then put off localization and my iphone works better.. i don´t understand, but this is mi experience..
Still have problems, but it's not serius...
Here in Spain, i can return the phone to the app store only in 14 days, my finish day it's the next 11...
What can i do? Do you believe that i must return the phone, or waiting for the new IOS...
I think that all its a soft. problem...
When i bought the Iphone 4 in 2010, i had a lot off problems with my carrier Vodafone, dropped calls, people can¡t listeninng to me etc.. all was fix it with a ios update...
Please, so sorry for my English.... And hello to everybdy from Spain :-)
Hello Spain!
I took my phone in and exchanged it for another 4s to see if the problem was with the phone versus the carrier (ATT).
Funny, the new phone seems to work a little better--
1. not AS MANY dropped calls (still some)
and
2. the reception is a TINY bit better (the equivalent of one extra signal bar which means i have 3 bars out of 5)
I hope that any updates will improve the conditions.
Adios from Texas!
Hello hlpconsult form Texas, thank you for a fast reply..
Dou you think i must return my phone to the app store??
I can wait 2 days more... 11 it's the last day to change my phone...
If you said that new phone works better i think that could be ahardaware problem.. but im not sure...
what dou you think????
Adios amigo!!!!! :-))))) Muchas Gracias :-)))
i would return it if you get an additional 14 days on the new phone.
apple and ATT offer us 30 days to bring back phone with no questions asked. that is what i did. my replacement 4s starts a new clock ticking of 30 days.
Okkk thank you very much :-)))
Is anybody here experiencing this problem while using a genuine Micro SIM (rather than a SIM which has been cut down by hand or by punch from a larger size)?
yes the problemis the same no matter which ever sim you may use
4s problems!!
