Anyone having lots of 4S problems?

The hits just keep on coming. When someone calls the slide to answer is unresponsive and I can't answer the call. :rolleyes:

Yeah I've been in bogota, the last few days. I think it's the network who are you with, I'm with three.

hmm im with vodafone

Reading the apple forums it seem to be just the 4S and Vodafone when not connected to 3G or wifi. I think 3 piggybacks on Vodafone when not on 3G so might be the case.

Apparently I've been in a shopping centre in Shanghai for the last few days. I'm on O2.

I get that kind of thing sometimes on Meteor, but not as dramatic as you guys. I live in Dublin 8 but regularly show up down in Dundrum or Bray direction. It corrects itself on WIFI

I regret the switch. Was so happy with my Desire but a free iphone won me over. Big mistake.

On my second replacement. I'm now getting really bad interference like a whooshing noise on my phone when on a call it happens intermittently but driving me mad. Im on meteor. Has anyone a fix for this? Wish I could just get rid of it now sickened that I'm tied in to 24 month contract for this cr@p!

Ah ****e. Are you running this 5.0.1 (9A406) version now?

Lockster

Yeah running the updated software

I'm worried that the new build of iOS 5.0.1 might block the jailbreak?

Anyone have a clue if it'll affect it?

I don't think so as Pod2g and Musclenerd think the software is more open to breaking than the previous ones. I can't be sure though. I upgraded as although I am dying for the jailbreak, I want a functioning phone first.

5.0.1 is untethered jailbroken by pod2g

No, not yet. He is working on it this weekend. Supposedly the code/method used i should not be much different from that which jailbroke the A4 devices the other day.

I got my replacement phone from Apple yesterday.

So far, no issues. Have sent a tonnes of texts, testing this out and they go straight through, no hangs and no dropped networks to "No Service". I'm on Meteor and had all those problems before. I did the update as well yesterday evening when i hooked the phone up to my mac.

Did you update to the new version of 5.01 released yesterday?

RobbieSEI

Just got the iPhone there. How long should I leave it charging before use, to ensure maximum battery life? Cheers.

Just let it go through a full cycle once per month(from fully depleted to full charged). Download Battery Doctor from the app store. It gives you reminders and advice for best use.

The newest update has not fixed my intermittent "No Service" issues unfortunately.

Cork24

the 5.01 has being out weeks

Harcrid

There is a newer version of 5.01 that has just come out in the last few days. It's not being pushed automatically to every phone as it is only targeted at people who are experiencing network problems. The new version is 5.0.1 (9A406) whereas the old version was 5.0.1 (9A405)

themacdaddy
