iOS 8.3 iPhone 6 dropping network

Hi guys,

1. My iPhone 6 continuously dropping network connection after update to 8.3, every 1-4 minutes... literally.. no matter where I'm located, at home or in the office.

It can be 5 bars + LTE, then next moment that's one bar, no data at all... or no network completely and just 'searching...'

It drops voice calls the same way...

2. I've tried to reinstall firmware as well. Two times already. Same results.

3. Yes, the last time I've installed iOS 8.3 iTunes asked me if I want to install new operator settings. I installed them, same results.


Help! It drives me crazy!

I Have an iPhone 6 64GIG and having a similar issue. Based in South Africa and the service here I must say is pathetic when it comes to getting help from Apple. My phone keeps dropping signal, it will keep on searching for network, then NO SERVICE. Ive tried everything until I read a post online, saying I need to remove the battery. Did that a couple of times and finally got tired of having to open my phone up twice a day. Waited for the iOS 9 update and my phone worked perfectly fine for two days. Put my phone in DFU Mode and reinstalled. When I finally got signal, I decided to switch network from automatic to manual search. My phone still drops signal every now and then, but this seems to have sorted out my problem. I have noticed that my iPhone 5s also using the same network has a stronger signal than my iPhone 6. My 6 for instance will have two bars when my 5s has full signal on the same network at the same time. My opinion, iPhone 6 is probably one of apple's worst products ever.
