5s issue

Robert · 21 Jan 2014 at 06:50

For some reason my 5s seems to drop 3G signals frequently and resort to edge. When both myself and my girlfriend are sat together she'll have 3G on her 4 and I'll be on edge. We're both on O2 but I'm on a 4g contract.

Would this at all be the same with the iPhone 5?

I had a 4s before and 3G was very fast and had full signal nearly all the time with EE. I upgraded to a 5, and on a 4G contract. I now get hardly any signal, I don't get 4G in the area I live but the 3G signal I get is awful, for example it struggles to buffer a youtube video... the casing in the top left is also loose but I've had the phone for about 4 months now so not sure what I am entitled to do about it.

I have the same thing (Same network too) I took it to an apple store and they replaced it (Power button was also tempermental).

New phone, same issue.

What a poor show! I am going to call p4u and speak to them about it.

Did you have a loose outer casing too?

I have the same issue with my 5S on O2 and never and issue with my 4S on the O2. I have previously tried searching on the interwebs for a solution or if it is a common issue but I can't find anything. I just assumed it was the signal on the fens, but it does annoy me.

Nope no loose casing.

The signal is still pants now but I've given up trying to sort it

To be honest the 5S's signal isn't brilliant, my Nexus 4 was better. In my house I'd be able to hold a call on the N4 without a problem, on the 5S I frequently get no service whatsoever, let alone even managing to make a call and drop it.
