    After i upgraded to IOS 5.0.1 imediately my GSM signal got worsen. I often get "searching and no service" , which i seldom got it on IOS 5.0. And my internet signal (E/3G) also often lost. Sometimes i get "invalid sim card" when the signal disapears long enough. I never got that problem when on IOS 5.0. also cannot text or call

    Happens to me too... once you lose the signal, the iphone4 has difficulty reacquiring a signal again... a restart is often necessary...

    is this for the iphone 4 or iphone 4s?

    my iphone 4s exactly fits what you're experiencing even in ios5.

    my iphone 4 seems ok after 5.0.1 and even the imessage/facetime problem gets resolved.

    oh .... i am also in iphone 4 ..... must be isolated to iphone 4S ......

    i think its best to try "restore" the phone via itune ..... see if that will resolve it

    i feel your pain buddy. i'm experiencing the same thing. can't downgrade to iOS5 too. i honestly felt like i wanted to through the damn phone to the wall, hahaha.

    how about those who have this problem, let's post our details so we can see if there's any relation to the model or the country of origin. i'll start.

    iPhone 4S 16GB Black
    Country of origin: Australia
    Carrier: Smart
    OS: iOS 5.0.1
    updated: via OTA, then also restored with a full download.

    I have rare occasions of dropping signals, but has been consistent with previous firmwares or even previous iPhones, so I think it's more of a Globe issue. I didn't see any increase in the rate of dropping signals on my iPhone 4S updated to 5.0.1.

    Issue: dropping signal cant seem to maintain carrier connection ;(

    Has somebody in here tried it with a new microSim from globe or what not? Apple support seem to suggest so.

    i tried a micro sim from globe. same banana. i speculate that it has something to do with the automatic switching of antennae.
