Help !!!!my iPhone 4s searching for 3G

[Cheplampardfan]

My 4s keeps loosing 3G conconnectivity ...every 30 seconds the 3G signal appears, then it starts Searching for signal again.. This has been happening all day today and it's really really annoying.. Anyone else experiencing these issues?? I have an appointment tomorrow at the apple store.. Hopefully they can fix my phone :-(. I've tried doing a reset, switched sims, resetting networks..... No dice

Did you contact your carrier?

That sounds more like a carrier issue to me. Would explore that option before I assume it's the phone.

DFU restore as new with a fresh DL of iOS 5.0.1 or, if you have access to it, iOS 5.1, as carrier settings are updated with the OS upgrade(with the AT&T version at least).

Try a Network Reset from the Settings

My 4S did this about 3 weeks after I had it. I did a full backup and restore and it fixed it.

I had the exact same problem. Go to an Apple store and replace it, what you're holding is a fat iPod Touch.

I had this issue out of the box, so on 5.0.
