Afternoon!
My problems started when I upgraded to OS 4 - which turned my phone into an expensive ornament! Downgraded to 3.1.3 and from there on I've been having signal issues.
I've never had any issues with signal in the last 8 months of having the phone and then suddenly I wasn't getting good signal (1 or 2 bars max) or any signal at all. Would be stuck on searching or no service.
Apple replaced the phone and same issues!! Got a new SIM card from Orange UK and this seemed to cure it however the phone keep locking up and showing error "Different SIM detected, please connect to iTunes". It did this 6 times in 12 hours.
Both Orange and Apple recommended I backup and then restore the phone. I've done that by forcing iTunes to restore using 3.1.3 rather than upgrading to OS 4 but now I'm back at square one with poor or no signal.
I have found out that if i turn off 3G in the options menu I will get full signal where i was getting none when 3G was turned on.
Could there be a problem with the file of 3.1.3 im using? Do USA and UK version of the firmware differ which may be causing the problems?
Apologies this is such a long thread... but I do hope someone can help...
