im using the 1st gen 8 gig iphone, got this about october 2007.

i never encountered any signal problems till lately. i decided to upgrade to the new firmware and its now worst.

example of problem before the upgrade:
sms always cant send through, must keep resending even in a signal strong area for other people in on my mobile network

and

cant seem to call out , must try at least 3 times on some occasions.

the weird part is this all happens when im in the open, so it cant be my carrier? in car park basements i sms/call as per usual.

not to mention weakened battery life.

AFTER the upgrade.
my singals dont fluctuate so much etc. how ever

im getting this:
30 mins miss call delay from celcom notifier. or unable to contact me for some time.
sms i send out doesnt go through, (celcom to celcom though?)

i dont receive sms's (overseas)

calling out is a b**** some times.

BATT LIFE IS NOW SHIT!

can some one help me out here. I really think my iPhone is gone case, or is there some underlying cause.

try re-jailbreak / unlock again make sure u select correct Baseband files. Use Pwnage Tool instead of Quickpwn.

why not downgrade back to your old firmware version since it was working fine?

Maybe you can try a different sim card and see? Back when I was using my iPhone 1st Gen, at first it worked well with my Maxis 128k sim, then after a few months later, I kept on getting no service for no reason. But when I tried with a Digi 64k sim, it worked perfectly. So perhaps it could be that my Maxis 128k sim is faulty or something. Yeah, weird I know.

thanks for the comments guys, i upgraded it cause it was already giving me problem.

haven't checked out pwnage tool though.

but battery is just draining like crazy. fully charged can last me about 12 hours plus or so with very little usage. 10 hours max with in between usage of apps etc.

any updates on how u r going to solve ur iPhone problem? already noticed that u have bought an e71 too to replace ur iPhone for the time being.

Hey guys,

I m using a iphone 2G, get from our LYN member.

I hv been using the phone for 6 months, what i facing is the signal is very weak, and i easy to get loss and no network.



Any way to solve this ?

cannot do anything. change 3G or use other phone.
i also face problem when going in lift then come out esi wait long time only got connection.
but i usually lock and unlock and lock then it sometimes will connect very fsat back

This could be the network in that area is weak, or the signal chip on the com port is not working properly, this will happen to other phone too but just that iphone show up faster.

im sure TS is on maxis network....

nono i am on celcom.

i changed my phone already. i'm currently using my iPhone as an iTouch. Still love my apps

yeah its really the aluminum back cover. All solved for iPhone 3G. Hopefully iPhone reinvents its interface, and look. I'm quite bored of it. Currently wanting a blackberry

do a clean restoration then JB.... make sure u backup first... i know its not walk-on-the-park kindda situation, but u should at least try the clean restoration (restore without holding shift at itunes) after that then JB...

possible is comm board faulty.. go replace around 2xx.. then everything work properly..

If the phone been opened before, more likely cause by snapped cable or broken connector caused by careless/unprofessional/inexperience service person.

I have one iPhone before as soon as you turn on, it goes full signal, then in 15min it will goes to 0 bar then no signal. Turn out the cable snap. Re-soldered and it's working till today.

I dont have this reception problem with the latest firmware, but I must say that the latest firmware was not as stable as 1.1.4

Hi guys,
I just bought an iphone 2g from one of the forumers here.
It was updated to the latest 3.01 firmware.
There seems to be a reception problem.
For a while you can see it has full bar. Awhile more dropped to zero and then start searching.
Did not managed to contact the guy too,hence do not know if the phone has been opened before.

Any idea guys?

i too faced a lot of problem with Iphone 2g
i was using one before.. but always seem to have problem
some more it could be 101 kinda of reason.. cable la this la that la baseband la..when u send it to be fix come back more problem instead hahah...zzzzz
so i gave up switch to blackberry
nevertheless, i will still say iphone is a great entertainment phone
however blackberry fits what i need from a phone for now..
