Q: iOS 5.0.1 problems - Searching for Network and battery life still isnt great.

Something very strange happened with my Iphone 4. I updated itunes to latest version (old version probably only a month old). Then I sadly looked at my phone this morning and it had dropped from 100% to 43% with no radios on and all apps closed, and no notifications.  I was also still seeing my phone try to connect to att every 30 seconds. 

Rebooted my computer and connection problem is  fixed, at least for now. 

I spent all day yesterday and did every single thing that has been tried from the discussion board.  Then an additional sync with iTunes and my phone is back is business.

Apple, what happened?

What exacely is the NEW Micro-SIM?? I have a new Micro-SIM card since my iPhone 4S arrived and I'm having the issue

My signal issue is somehow solved! I restored it just after upgrading and having signal issues but nothing happened.. Just until three-four days ago i still had signal issues.. Then almost over night, it was fixed all bu itself without contacting apple, getting a new sim, etc.

However, I still have battery drain issues.. Almost equal to ios 5.. I have disabled many apps from the notification center thing and turned off auto set time or whatever that was and i also disabled other location based settings that i dont need but i still hve to charge my phone every day (1-2x)

did you do iTunes for Windows update?

Yes please can someone help as to what is new micro sim. i did purchase new micr sim from Vodafone for my iphone 4S and now having constant network issues after upgrading to 5.0.1. can someone guide if with vodafone(india) it has worked out with anyone?

Most incomprehensible, it is why Apple does not officially report about the problem 5.0.1. After all, we are fans of the products Apple, and Apple silence - it is indecent. We pay their products and create prosperity of Apple company. At least one could appease everyone, and inform when time for updates 5.0.2. Otherwise there is a risk unscrew itself from many of the followers ...

So very unpleasant situation, my new iPhone 4GS in the box for a week .... I can't use it. Waiting for soluton.

same here :@ i update the iso 5.0.1 and from that day about 3 weeks no calls are working the iphone is now usless

I resolved it! Try to restore ur iphone with DFU mode my dears! I did and it works!

Wish all you guys luck

Restoring from DFU did not solve mine.

I upgrade both my Ipad2 and Iphone 4s. The Ipad is working fine but the Iphone can not connect to AT&T, I have to restart it to receive and send messages and calls.

Apple really did a very poor job of testing this upgrade. This issue is going to be a great incovenience to my work week as I use the phone a lot to make calls, and now I will probably have to use a different phone.

What is DFU mode? and how to go about.

Sorry for noob question, I am first time iPhone user.

Sorry I got it.

Rephrase question; how to restore back to version 5.0 ?

With the help of Apple Techncial support team i did this. It didnt work. they are now investigating the issue further.

I have got 2 iphone4s. One works well without upgrading to IOS5.0.1. Another one upgrading  to 5.0.1 keeps searching or shows no service!!!! I am from Singapore using Singtel SIM card. Help!!!

Hi, I asked for a new SIM and it is working, at least so far...
