iphone 6 cellular reception

I can report the same problem on AT&T. Both my wife's and my iPhone 6 go to No Signal periodically in our house, and that never happened with previous iPhones. I had the iOS 8 beta on my iPhone 5 for months and did not notice the problem, so there is something with the 6 that is wrong.

Having said that, my phone calls have been completely fine, though I don't make a whole lot of calls.

I'm hopeful that this is addressed in 8.0.2 since one of the things they pulled the 8.0.1 update for was a problem with the iPhone 6 showing No Signal.

Did you have the update that was pulled on your iPhone 6 or was it the stock ios8 that it came boxed with?

Didn't update to 8.0.1. Both phones are running the out-of-the-box iOS8.

I'm currently experiencing the same problem using iOS 8.0.0 - dropped calls, delayed voice connection upon answer, zero to two signal strength bars (iPhone 5 - five bars) and frequent drop-outs once I'm able to successfully connect to an inbound call. I've reset my Network Connection (Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings) and re-booted numerous times to no avail. As it stands now, it's useless as a phone.

Same problem here on Vodafone in Germany. Regularly the phone (iPhone 6) drops to "no service" and it takes a long time to reconnect to any service (toggling flight mode makes it reconnect immediately though). My 5s never had this problem in the same locations.

When I let the phone reconnect on its own it takes a few minutes or so. It then only reconnects to the 2G/3G network, no longer 4G (perhaps if I wait long enough it will... but I'm impatient). I have to toggle flight mode to have it reconnect to 4G again.

I turned my 4G off completely as we don't get that where I live. My problem is just with 2g and 3G. Seems to have a very slow switchover which is causing my signal to veer from 4 or 3 bars to 1 bar in seconds even when I'm not moving.

I am going to Apple today to get a new phone. I've reset, etc. to no joy. I don't know if it is hardware, but I might as well try. I can't use it as a phone as it is.

I still have reception issues at work. But have always had bad reception there...and it's hard to say if it's the same or worse than my previous phones. I will say that ever since calling ATT and having them fix a supposed network issue with the towers near my home.... I havent had any instances where I lost service at home. It's been solid for the past two days where before it was happening very frequently. If it hasn't gotten better at home I would have definitely gone to apple to try and swap it out.

You guys all know that iOS 8.0.2 came out yesterday, right? I installed last night, and so far I haven't noticed the No Service message popping up. I'll check throughout the day and report back later.

iOS 8.0.2 seems to make the problem less, but it does not completely solve it.

After one day of intense use I can say that iOS 8.0.2 does not fix the problem. It actually became worse. Every second time i look at my phone it now states no service. I'll return this phone to Apple. I am not in a place with bad reception (toggling flight mode results with no service directly in a connection with 4 or 5 dots).

Hi. When you've got your replacement would you come back to this forum and post whether it fixes the issues or not please? Would be useful for the rest of us to have an idea if it's software or hardware at fault. Thanks for the updates so far.

OK, everyone. I went to the Genius Bar again. This time I asked for, and got, a replacement iPhone 6. I booted It up as a new phone, had icloud do its thing. It got a great cell signal and I think it was hardware all along. But I did not restore the backup I had made prior from the previous phone. I decided that since the new phone was working perfectly that I didn't want to take the chance that it was software related all along (even though I really believe it was hardware).

It has been a bit of a pain to fix everything the way I need it, but the phone still is great. No issues anymore.

Go get your replacements everyone!
