I've searched and read countless threads about similar problems, but none seem to be quite what I'm experiencing, so I'm hoping someone else has seen the same thing and can help me out.
My phone (3GS, ios4.3.3) willl go from 4 or 5 bars down to one tiny bar and lose the network registration altogether ("AT&T 3G" descriptor goes away - see pics). Then eventually it goes into signal search mode, and then (usually) finds it and connects back to the 4 or 5 bars.
This happens dozens of times a day - with no consistent pattern. Happens at work (downtown seattle), at home (suburb of seattle), on work trips (San Francisco, Chicago), while holding it, and while it's sitting on my desk, on 3G or EDGE only.
I can't pinpoint when it started, but it seems to be around the time I upgraded to 4.3.3. I haven't dropped it or anything, and I don't think it's a network issue since my wife's 3GS works fine in the same places. Took it to an Apple store, and despite being out of warranty, the genius tried all forms of resetting, but nothing has helped.
Any thoughts?? Thanks in advance. -Mike
