Hey guys,
So I have had my iPhone 5 since December. I like iPhones because they are known for their durability, and design. However, today it decides to die on me.
This is what has happened:
- iPhone 5's internet not working
- No LTE is displayed even though I am living in a huge metroplex with full AT&T LTE
- NOT a network issue, as I have talked with an AT&T representative who tried to "reset" the network several times, and placed calls etc.
- iPhone canNOT make calls or receive them
- When I restart the iPhone, at first, LTE works perfectly (with 17 Mbps+) and then 2 minutes later --> LTE gone and the bars go to "0" and back up displaying "E". In this state, no calls/texts/internet work.
So in summary, the phone works for 1-2 minutes then dies each time of restart. I tried to make calls, tried to call into my phone, tried to access the internet, it did not work. It's funny because this moring it worked just fine.
Another note: I remember that earlier this day, I tried to use Siri to navigate to a destination. When I did this, the phone froze (for the first time) and then black screen (no response at all) for about 1 minute or so. After that the screen came back up, so I'm wondering if this triggered a cascade of events.
I don't know what's wrong with it The AT&T representative suggested it might be something wrong with the SIM, and that I should bring it to AT&T store. But meanwhile, does anyone else every experienced this? I only had this phone for a few months and I had my iPhone 4 for 2+ years and that worked perfectly.
PS. I've been having network "hiccups" now and then (similar to this experience) but each of those times it was minor and short-lived. Now it's not working at all.
If anyone can help me or weigh in some opinion, that'd be much appreciated! Thanks!
