Well just like a relationship with games I kick to the curb my 4S is about to suffer the same fate. Reception in low signal areas is horrible compared to my 4.
As did I on my 4. Issue is low signal areas my 4S goes into No Service where as the 4 did not. And the 4S for some reason takes a lot longer to require or even acquire a signal upon start up then my 4 ever did.
Already did all that is possible restore as new etc. Took it in on Friday they exchanged it. But new one same issue. So it's either another 4S problem phone or the 4 just had an antenna that worked better with low signals.
First I sold my old phone. And I already know it didn't have theses lost signal issues I had it for over a year.
Second these issues are not at home so a microcell isn't going to help me. I'm pointing out that the 4S in my real world usage can't hold a low signal where as the 4 can. Read the posts
Same problem for me. I leave home or work, after several hours on WiFi data signal, only to be unable to acquire a 3G signal on my new (unlocked) 4S. The signal icon displays three or more bars, but none of my streaming media will work. This NEVER happened on my old 3GS.
So, I can reboot and usually obtain a 3G signal, but this is frustrating. sounds like I'm not the only 4S user with this issue.
