I've recently been noticing that I have unresponsive service from my phone wherever I go. It started a while ago when I updated to 4.0, and lost my ability to send MMS and use Cellular Data. I prolonged fixing it for quite some time, but yesterday decided I didn't want to deal with 4.0 anymore so I downgraded back to 3.1.2.
Before my downgrade I had been noticing I would have no service anywhere, and when I did get what apeared to be service, it was the same as having none. My phone showed 5 bars but wouldn't respond to anything.
I had to force it out of recovery mode after the restore, but I assumed that was normal. Anyway, I am now running 3.1.2 and I have lost my 4.0 Backup so all of my texts are gone, but I still have the same problem. I have no service, and when I get service, it's as though I don't have it. Cellular data still does not work either.
Is it time I head to the Apple Store? A while back (about 2 weeks after getting my phone) I noticed my water sensor in my earphone jack was pinkish. It had been NOWHERE near water at all, but i kind of shruged it off. I later noticed that it apeared to have gone back to white, and is now lint covered. Will this matter? Will they look inside, see lint, blow it out, and see red? Or maybe it will be white again, i don't know.
Either way, I don't want to be stuck paying the $199 OOW replacement for this considering none of it was my fault. My phone fell from about a foot yesterday onto concrete, and it left a little scratch on the corner, but I was experiencing these network issues prior to that, so that could not have affected it in anyway. Ahh. I'm just all around stressed right now, hoping this stupid ass phone will start to wrok again soon.
