For the past week, when returning to my iPhone while it's been sitting on my table in standby, I view the unlock screen and see that my signal shows no bars and the edge symbol. After a second or two, it shows full bars and the 3G symbol returns.

Is this the phone or just something strange going on with my local AT&T network? It seems strange that it would be the network because I never have problems losing signal at my place when I'm using the phone. I have restored the phone due to a separate issue and it is still doing it.

I am concerned because I have heard the battery can drain much faster when the signal is weak.
