Problem with 4.2.8

[bub_33]

I have noticed since updating that my reception has gotten really worse. Also, my battery life has gone way down. I could go a full day and be around 50%, now half way through the day I have to charge because I am at 20%. Anyone else have problems with the update?

Same Problem

I just got my Verizon iPhone with 4.2.8 and am having the EXACT same problem...I would also love to know if a lot of people are having this problem and if they are.....WHAT DO I DO?????????

Are you Jailbroken? If so what apps are you running. I haven't noticed any kind of a hit on battery life. In fact, it seems much better.

not experienced either of these 2 issues, try updating your PRL by dialing *228, my battery life has actually improved since updating to 4.2.8

Nothing different were noticed . My wife and i have our IP upgraded to 4.2. 8 the upgrade took about fifteen minutes for our two IP4.

my update went well and i believe that my battery has been better since the update. this update is supposedly getting rid of the "locationgate" issue. it shouldn't log any of your location coordinates anymore so that's a plus. the main-problem that people are running into when they update is that they restore from back-up. restoring from back-up causes battery issues period.

I heard that if you do a verizon iphone system update it takes care of that...
in fact, I did that and BAM! back to normal!!!
*228 thing...

worked for me! and if it works for you follow @Cnergey . he hooked me up on it!

I haven't either of those two problems either... That's weird.

I use my phone A LOT for streaming radio, video, twitter and so forth, so I am generally mindful of battery management. I haven't seen a battery impact after the update. It certainly hasn't gotten any worse (that's something that I would notice right away, of course).

I haven't had any signal degredation either.

I have had much better battery life. I have been getting 2 days out of my battery since the update.

I havent had any battery life problems, but I have noticed that my reception goes to "o" more often now, *228 didnt help. Jailbroken on 4.2.8, I might try restoring as new and starting over.

Aghhh I've been getting that too! Lately I only have 3G about half the time... and I'm on 4.2.7

this sucks, I'm regretting updating from 4.2.6 now, never had any problems with that one.

It means you've lost 3G and are using EVDO

Actually, 3G = EVDO. When you see the "o" - that means 1X.

I haven't updated and not sure if I should now. My phone is rock solid with no issues.

1X would be the equivalent to AT&T's Edge speeds. i tried resetting my network settings and it somehow fix the 3G problem from going to "o". i don't suggest those that are jailbroken with greenpois0n to do this because it might leave your phone in a spinning wheel loop.

Herpaderp. That's what I meant lol!!! My bad.

Speaking of "o", that's all I've seen for two days now... Time to call VZW on my end...
