Poxy iphone is driving me nuts.. so any solutions other than smashing it with a hammer for you tube greatfully acepted Confusedcared:

Its an 18 month old 3GS, so out of warranty.
I have had it checked, antenna is all ok and connected, everything works fine on the screen etc

I have reset it, restored it, kicked it, swore at it and even updated it with the IO5 software etc..

But.. still no signal....

I have looked on you tube and apart from a variety of advice, I have deducted that there are a lot of ***** out there that are to happy to be on a webcam :Overkill:

So, any good advice.. ?

I love the phone but HATE it's signal strength. Terrible.

Will get another brand next time, unless the new iPhone demonstrates it is significantly improved.

Bin it (you'll not get much selling if it doesn't pick up signal!) and buy an Android phone. Samsung Galaxy S2 or the Atrix are both good phones.

IS200 Sport - Sold
Mazda 6 MPS - Zoom Zoom!

Modifications
Completed:

Currently 280bhp/295lbft; 3" Meercat custom exhaust; KW Suspension; FMIC; SSP; HPFP; Custom Stainless Steel Dials - for the moment, the only set in the world!! (Till the group buy for MPSOC anyway :lol: )

In Progress:

E-Tuning remap ongoing via Cobb Accessport; Braided brake lines; Stubby aerial; Tinted repeaters and sidelights; 3 Port Boost Control Solenoid; 3" HTP Intake

Ive got a 3GS and a 4 and never had any signal issues with either of them on Orange, it must have a fault internally buddy if its just not picking up a signal.

Have you tried a SIM from another network provider? Like 02 etc
