Ipone 4s - called failed

brightkane

Hi Folks,

anyone have any issues with their 4s and calls dropping with "call failed" coming up. Had a 3g and an iphone 4 and never had this issue. Ithappens for no reason i can think of. Also not only when i am holding it but when i use the car kit so i dont think its due to my grip

its not a carrier problem its a widespread problem google it

out of a class of 25 - 5 of us bought the 4s and all had problems

return the phone to apple it will cost you 29 euro for the ups courier service and they will deliver you a brand new 1 in 3 days

Make sure you are running 5.01 (the NEW version).

Verify that the version is now iOS 5.0.1 (9A406) in Settings > General > About.
Not 5.01 (9A405)
I had this issue along will failed texts....replaced my phone and the problem still existed.

The new version of 5.01 came out last week and solved all of my problems.

You have to connect to iTunes and restore the phone for the update

Yep exactly what baffled said. Do a restore and it will install the new firmware. Be partient though it's 800mb

I had failed texts from time to time also now that i think of it

my last iphone 4 started acting up a month outside the year warranty, it was miss behaving for about 8 weeks prior, missing calls,not connecting , but recieving texts fine, , should have check then but thought it was recieption problems apple stung me for 189 for a replacement, never again, moving to android after jan contract is up to give them ago

I'm having the same problem its so frustrating I'm on O2 bill pay and they've checked my signal etc and said it isn't them so it must be the phone. I've updated it to the IOS 5.1 hoping it would solve it but its still happening. Phone is out of warranty Any Idea???

brightkane

Apple have replaced the phone and its still happening, its not in one place, ie home, can be anwhere, holding the phone on using bluetooth car kit.

Its like it looses all signal, after it fails you are unable to call back as it keeps saying call failed until the signal drops completely and then comes back up and then you can make calls, very frustrating.

what firmware is the new one running ?

i have a friend who had similar issues but since ios 5.1 update everything is fixed and its now the phone it should always have been

brightkane

5.1.1 its running,


its got all its updated and nothing has changed the problem, its frustrating

Still using the original sim ? Do u get any issues with sim pin lock ?

keith_d99

I get this after every os update - dropped calls.

Reset network settings (you will lose wifi passwords) - works perfectly for me after that

I'm on O2 as well - must be something to do with their carrier settings

brightkane

No issues with pins. Will change sim if resetting network doesn't work , cheers for advice
