Apple Investigating iPhone 7 Bug Causing 'No Service' After Turning Off Airplane Mode

AIRPLANE GATE EVERYONE STAY CALM!

Not to be confused with the Galaxy Note 7 airplane gate that doesn't let you take them on planes.

 

No-service-after-airplane-gate!

 

Just doesn't seem plausible - maybe you can expand on that statement

 

Interesting to note, I had my device on Airplane mode the other day, and actually received a call! When I answered it, all I got on the other end was a bunch of electronic noises. So Airplane mode means offline or something else exactly?

 

Wouldn't be an iPhone launch if there weren't multiple bugs that people try to blow out of proportion.

 

Does this hissing stop when this happens? Maybe it's a feature. Sounds courageous to me.

 

This is no bug. It is the second phase of the Beta testing. Code name the Gamma Phase, a.k.a "Field Test"

 

Maybe Airplane mode is looking for an AirPort router to land on.

 

This is why you should resist and buy in on the "S" cycle...

 

Yeah, I don't understand why people think a device that is suddenly released shipping millions of phones won't have some bugs that need to be worked out.
Thus the term "Early Adopter"

 

This is ridiculous Apple. QC is in the gutter for the last few years at Apple.

 

No, we are using it wrong.

 

And not enjoy a great phone for an entire year? Just get a replacement at the Apple Store or through AppleCare. Living in fear of a few bugs is no way to live. And yes, I upgrade every year and don't have problems Apple's service team haven't fixed.

 

Have the same behavior after upgrading to iOS 10 on an iPhone 6S Plus. Not 7 specific.

 

Is it just me or has anyone's iPhone 7 Plus springboard been crashing 2-3 times a day?

 

" the iPhone 7 has an Intel modem rather than a Qualcomm modem used for Verizon and Sprint models."

Hold it, I thought the only difference these days was the SIM card.

I bought my last phone (6) directly from Apple as a generic phone and used my SIM card from Verizon. I was really tired of all that locking stuff (although my previous Verizon phone wasn't locked) and wanted to be free from contracts with the phone carrier.

Now I find ATT wants a special phone for their customers. Run...

 

This is an iOS10 issue, not just iPhone 7 series. I was out in the country this weekend and switched to airplane mode. I switched back when I got home, where I am very well connected, and 'No Service'. I finally rebooted the phone and it reconnected.

For the record, I have a 6s+ running iOS 10.

 

Because an extremely small percentage of phone experience bugs? And even the ones that do have bugs, they are rarely anything major.

 

Hmm, a "great phone" with problems is not a great phone, pal.

Besides, I thought the 6S was a great phone?

This has nothing to do with fear, it has everything to do with having a reliable, bug-free product with the right features.

Apple usually gets it right the second time around. Obvious examples of this being:

iPad vs iPad 2
Watch vs Watch Ver.2
iPhone 6 (bendy!!) vs 6s
Unibody MacBook (original missing FW) vs 13" MBP
iPad Air vs iPad Air 2

I will never, ever (again ) buy a first-gen Apple device.

 

Agreed. That's what I always do, too. The 's' cycle has been much more stable, IMHO. I'm not sure if Apple will continue with the 's' cycle next year, though, because of the 10th anniversary.

 

Design flaw.

 

The iPhone 7 has gone back to having different modems for different carriers. I'm not a fan of this.

Qualcomm modem for the win!!!
