Dropped signal/No Sim

[otep1760]

recently my iphone has been dropping signal a lot more often than it did before. i noticed it after the 1.1.4 upgrade.

i can be standing in one place and the signal will drop to one bar, and then to No Service. it usually doesnt gain signal back unless i switch it to airplane mode and then back again.

also every so often it says that there is no sim card installed the only way i can get rid of that is to reboot my phone. then its usually fixed.

so i was just wondering if i took it to an apple store if i would be able to get a replacement, only problem is i have a 4gb, would they have 4gb's to give me as a replacement or would i have to upgrade to the 8gb?

Couldn't hurt to take it to a store and have them check it out-- you would get a 4gb as a replacement.:D

yeah thats what i figured, im going to head up to houston where the closest apple store is on thursday and im going to give it a shot..

will they just switch sim cards out and ill have all my information on the new iphone or will i have to resync?

[marykay9507]

Not sure...just make sure you have all backed up before you go in to be on the safe side

Of course you will have to resync.
iPhones don't come with YOUR information on them.

back it up, then take it in for an exchange at the Apple Store. You shouldn't have to re-boot everyday b/c it can't locate the SIM card! Tell them it's "wacked!":cool:

i know that, i just wasnt sure if the information (contacts, settings etc.) was stored on the iphones simcard like it is on most phones

This happens to me also on a 4 GB iPhone. I was until today running 1.1.3 and just upgraded. I have thought about going to the Apple store; if it continues I will.

No.
Just like the 1st one you got.
You sync it.
