2G iPhone reception now hindered by v2.0

^^ This is the best answer in here.


You can't predict signal with AT&T.


I don't believe the update has anything to do with it.... It's probably more of an effect from the almost 1 million new AT&T subscribers....

More like 400k new subscribers but yea, that many new subscribers over a weekend is more than almost any carrier could deal with. On one hand they are doing pretty well in that their network hasn't completely choked. Just as long as they adjust and quality of service increases in the next week or two.

This also seems to be a good reason why the iPhone needs to be a multiple carrier device.

Push is not the problem; speading false solutions = bad.

I've had push on all weekend - 4-5 bars everywhere I've went...

oops, just realized that I seem to have posted in the wrong thread. Apologies to all.

Let me seocnd the emotion

I changed push setting to fetch. It seems to have alleviated the battery problem, but not the loss of signal.
I hope Apple is not becoming another Microsoft, releasing new versions that are untried, and letting the user community be their guinea pigs.

Since 2.0 was announced, I have seen a slight decrease in cell reception but nothing too major

AT&T service is already below-average here so it is sitting on the edge of just terrible service now

In complete open areas I can get 2-3 bars while I used to be able to get 3-4
