iPhone 4s with ios6 signal issues

Im using iPhone 4s with iOS 6, every time i finish a call my signal drops to 0 bars and goes to no service and then automatically gets full signal within a few seconds, this happens every time i finish a call. I was not having the same issues with iOS 5 ot ios 6 beta 4.


Thanks Srinivas

Even I'm having the same issue, on each time when I call, signal frequently changed and finally droped the call. Most of the time it is very noisy and not able speak or liten to the other person. It goes little better after 3 or fout times of dropping the call. Very bad experience with Apple ever...


Initialy I thought it may the Hardware issue. Now clread it is because of this unstable iOS 6.0. I hate it...

Hello


Same with my iPhone 4. I am working 3days a week from home, but since I upgraded I have no signal. Despite when I go out of my house. This is a big issue, as it worked well in the previous versions and it is only software related.

I cannot understand what happened to Apple. So many bugs in the iOS6, so many complaints. I need a working tool, if the issue will not be fixed soon, I need to change the hardware.

Hey guys I might have a solution:


I had the same problems with my 4s: weak signal strength no 3g connectivity at all! and on top of that itunes wouldn't restore my iPhone..not even iOs 6! (after checking with apple it would say that the building wasn't right for my iPhone...even though it was the same file, downloaded trough iTunes from apple, I used to update from 5.1.1 to 6)


Except for yhe iTunes problem, for which I haven't cheked if it's still there, I solved the 3G connectivity problem and the weak signal, and the battery is improved too!


That's what I did:


  • I had iTunes make a backup on my computer,
  • than I reseted the iPhone: settings--->reset---->delete contents and settings
  • I had iTunes restore my latest backup
  • after that I waited until iTunes displayed the battery fully charged
  • I turned off the iPhone(while stil pluged in)
  • I kept it off trough the night

And in the morning I had no more signal strenght problems or 3G connetivity issues!

I hope this works for you too! let me know!!
