IPhone :: IOS 5.1.1 Update Causes Signal Drop
May 18, 2012
after i updated my iphone 4s to the new ios update version 5.1.1 i noticed my signal strength was weak.. like by three bars.. now i cant use data half the places i go, i called at&t and they reset the network stuff for me. still nothing. is there a way to drop back down one step? its obviously a software issue but we all know it takes a while for this stuff to get fixed and i kinda need my phone because its the only one i have. oddly enough the voice signal seems to be ok dispite the fact theres one bar.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

I received my iPhone 4 on launch day via a pre-order. I am very grateful to have it and to have received it while others still try to get one. Anyway, onto the issue. I had signal drop issues from the get go, occasionally even a few dropped calls. Per Apple's statement and other blog recommendations I bought a case to alleviate the issue. It's the Griffin Reveal. It is a nice case too. Last night I noticed low signal bars after a dropped call and realized I was holding it over the left corner. I let go and up went the bars.
I called care. They opened a case # and gave me the same as anyone else. I was told that I needed a bumper to fix the issue, that they couldn't guarentee with any third party case it would fix the issue. I responded asking why I should give another $30 to fix an issue they know about. I asked if I would recieve and email or call to follow up and they said they didn't know. I will follow up in 2 days and let you know. Is this a ploy to just get people to spend more money? 1.7 million sold in three days x $30 for a bumper = $51 million more for.

I am using 9360 curve handset for nearly one year and recently my handset has a problem. The mobile signal cuts off suddenly and i get SOS and after 4 to 5 seconds it comes back again.I also have one more problem. After disconnecting a call when i try to make one more call immedeatly then nothing happens in the handset. The call screen comes but the phone doesnt transmit or receive for 10 to 15 seconds. (Noticed that the two way arrow at the right top corner of the screen doesnt show up for some time).

I'm having problems with my iphone 4s it keeps dropping calls and then loosing the network temporarily. I'm in the UAE, anyone else experienceing the same here or elsewhere? I have read it might be related to the ios 5.0.1 update, which I did last week, and then the problem started.

I updated my phone (Incredible S) a couple of days ago to HTC Sense 3.0. I was pretty keen on it and I quite like the animations, however it didn't take me long to realise that it's a battery killer. After charging my phone overnight, I used to go to work and come back in the evening with 70% or more of the battery left. Now after the update, I can barely pull it off with 50% left, and I haven't changed my usage habits at all. I gave up hopes of downgrading back to the previous version, so I'm hoping for an update to HTC Sense 3.5, which from what I read seems to be more efficient.
I'm not really up for changing launcher though so I suppose there's not much I can do apart from that.

The 4.0.1 update is 579.3 MB for my iPhone 4. That's a gigantic software update for just changing the display of the the bars for the reception, don't you think? Isn't the 4.0 software only like 350~400MB itself?

I live in a poor reception area on the Rogers network. I've noticed that when I go into the basement the phone drops a signal pretty quickly. I am okay with this and is expected. My issue is when I get back on to the main floor, the phone does not pick up a signal again for a long time. Sometimes even toggling airplane mode doesn't work. My wife's iPhone does the same thing.
Anybody else having this problem?

So i updated a few days ago to 5.1.1 Sprint service! A couple differences/ problems are: #1 Seems to me my data signal isnt good. It shows the LTE signal but when im surfing the next or even on ebay seems to just have the searching circle. then maybe a min or so later it will go. Ill surf again and data will just stop. It seems the data isn't communicating with the phone intermittently
#2 My text sending is way way slow now. Before update it would send pretty much within second of me hitting send. Now it displays the sending for a good 30 seconds! Sometimes even longer.
I have restarted multiple times/ update PRL/ Updated profile multiple times.

I use my D3 to listen to music. I have the mp3s stored on a memory card in my phone. I have music version v4.1.513. Before the update the music played fine. After the update the music will skip/click when ever my cell or data signal changes. I work in a very low / no cell signal lab so the phone is continuously losing signal and getting it back. This cause the music to skip/click every time. Not related to the update my phone still does not like to play music over bluetooth and do navigation at the same time. I have the phone linked to my car radio for navigation and I listen to music from the phone. It will reboot after about 15 minutes of use.

My nexus 5 GPS used to work GREAT under kitkat. However, after the Lollipop OTA update the gps signal keeps dropping and I am not able to use any navigation system.
I did try the factory reset but it didnt work.
A friend of mine is also facing the exact same problem, we both have the 32GB model.
My girlfriend, however, has not faced any issue after the ota update (she has the 16GB model). Her GPS works great! Our basebands versions are exactly the same.
I really need the gps. I use it almost daily!

Before the software update to 2.1 I could tell what kind of signal strength I had (i.e. 3G or G etc) now I have a H, but I don't have any idea of what it means.

After the firmware upgrade I seemed to have lost the 3g signal, before I would hardly see the "E" signal, mine was always the "H" or the "3G" but now all I get is the "E" with rare signs of the 3G signal, this has of course made my internet very slow!

I updated my Razr Maxx on Monday. Tried doing it sooner, but was getting the bug where it wouldn't validate the update. Ever since my signal strenght has been much worse than before. I no longer get signal in some places that I go for work that I had no issues with before. In those I still get signal I have issues connecting to data where I never did before. Even at home my signal is much worse.I realize that ICS displays the strength differently, but the way it displays should have nothing to do with actual usability. Can hardly use my phone at all anymore while working whereas I had no issues before update.

I noticed that after the update, I keep seeing these unusual double headed arrows under the signal strength bars. (Under the "3.5G"). Last time, it used to be just 2 single headed arrows, what exactly does this mean?
