Edge NOT WORKING/Icon Disappeared Need Help!!!

They are probably having problems with the network. Did you ever think it could be on AT&T's end instead of your end?

 

Have you verified with AT&T that data is otherwise functional? I've had issues where I saw the "E" and no data was coming through, and AT&T was able to verify outages in my area.

Also, does wifi work?

Just a thought. If otherwise things work great, then yea, your phone is hosed.

 

Sometimes the AT&T network is having problems. Don't automatically restore your iPhone if suddenly EDGE stops working. If your iPhone was working fine yesterday, then it could just be an outage. I had the same exact thing happen to me last month. I could text and make calls but, no internet unless I was on wifi. This lasted a few days. You could try driving somewhere and see if it comes back... that would confirm if it's just your town or area. For me, EDGE would work at work and then completely be gone at home and I only live 20 minutes from work.

 

it happens to me sometimes too.

 

You restored your iPhone? Wow, that's a little drastic. That's like reinstalling Mac OS X or Windows when your cable modem stops working because the cable is out.

Seriously, the next time it happens, give it a day or two and it should start working again.

 

Agreed.

TS: Also, how come you say you can't call AT&T because you're working, but you can hang out on MR and post here? Uh...

 

3g icon gone but edge is there?

I lost my 3g but edge is still in service ?
The 3g has been down since this morning.
I am in los angeles and it has been raining this morning .
Maybe the weather has something to do with it?
This is the first time in 2 months since i owned my 3g iphone that any network problems have acuured.
Any one else lose 3g today?

EDGE goes out all the time. relax.

 

What's your location? This happened to me for about the same amount of elapsed time today.

 

my edge icon has disappeared as well. and i live in los angeles county. it's been gone for about 24 hours. what should i do?

 

he already said indianapolis, indiana

 

what does the blue o represent because that shows on my iphone alot of times.

 

GPRS. An antiquated cellular that is mostly found in rural areas. Very slow data.

 

Heh... Pure comedy.

 

I have a similar issue (kind of), mine will act weird when it switches from edge to 3g it will go to No service and will not get service back unless I turn the phone off and then on again and that doesn't always work. Some times I will go to the phone app and the little busy symbol will spin at the top and I can not make a call or I will open it and make a call and it will act like it is calling and the call timer will be counting but the call will not go through it will just sit there. I have an appt at the Apple Store this evening to see what's up. I got this one last week and it started doing it the day I got but I went out of town and hoped it was just a AT&T thing but it did it out of town also and is still doing it. Any ideas?

 

Update on my previous post, I went by The Apple Store and they were able to reproduce the issue and said it seemed like a bad 3G chipset and swapped it out no questions asked. Hopefully this one will have no problems.

 

still having problem. whenver i turn off wifi edge is not showing up. should i reset phone?

 

Threads like these are funny to me. People freaking out and restoring their iPhones over network outages?

EDGE was out in my area this morning as well, but it's back now. Lets not start Y2K.

 

Edge / data not working?????

Welcome to AT&T !!!! LOL

It happens constantly in my area, after a while, you learn to just get used to it. Thank God for wifi. Because we sure cant rely on AT&T providing the data service that we pay so much a month for to actually USE.

Yes, I am being sarcastic, I'm not very impressed with ATT here lately.
