Alright, I'm not trying to cause another signal scare or anything but has anyone else noticed with the iPhone 4S it is "Searching..." for signal more often than not? I don't have problems with phone calls or keeping phone calls but for some reason I notice it just says "Searching..." every day but signal always comes back within a minute or a reboot. Anybody else having problems? I've tried restoring the phone and resetting it up as a new one. :/

EDIT: Btw, never had this problem as much on my original iPhone or iPhone 3GS.

I noticed this as well and it started for me recently (past couple of days). Is your 4S "jailbroken" or stock?

If JB, what apps/tweaks did you recently install?
 
No issue here on my JB 4S.
It does search longer than my previous iphones when it first boots up but all the 4S models do that. During the day I dont see it searching or dropping signal at all. Maybe its your local area?
