Hey I'm having problems with my ip5 reconnecting to cell service if its disconnected for any more than a minute or two. I have to turn airplane mode on and then off to force it to search for a signal again. This is especially annoying because a lot of my classes don't get cell service so I have to do it after every one. Anyway to make it auto search for a signal?
Got a tip for us?

To my knowledge, it already does auto-search for a signal, just not well. Every iPhone I've had has been like this (from original to 4S). I don't know if there's a technical term for it so I simply call it "signal regeneration" (in my head, at least) and the iPhone sucks at it. Because of this, I, too, end up toggling Airplane Mode multiple times daily. I've gotten used to it so it doesn't bother me anymore but I'd certainly prefer to not have to do it at all.
