I installed iOS 10 beta 2 and drove around for an hour. The problem for me appears to be fixed. My signal strength was steady and I did not have any loss of the signal. While stationary at home the signal strength stays the same. Before it was all over the place.
maybe its a software fix like they did with the iphone 4 when they made it appear more bars than it was lol
Ha I forgot about that, they recalibrated the bars to respond better to terrible signal...
this is why I think people in this thread are too optimistic about Apple 'fixing' the problem, they have a very public history of whitewashing their mistakes and not ever FIXING the problem
[doublepost=1475696787][/doublepost]I've been following this since the beginning. I've been experiencing the same dropped signals as everyone here. Let me first start off I live in Manhattan NY. I just spent 24 hrs in the suburbs of Milwaukee Wi. I was at a meeting in an auditorium on a lower level of a corporate complex. Not once had the signal dropped. Even in the car rides. Something has to be up in the NYC area. When I land it will be interesting to see how the signal reacts
i agree ive been saying the whole time not too sure this is an easy software fix or else wold have been done already ... maybe instead of free bumpers they will give us those antenna stickers lol
i remember those days.
Advanced LTE is carrier aggregation, which is combining multiple bands to get a faster connection. -- my interest then becomes does shutting off VoLTE disable the "advanced LTE" technologies?
edit: i was completely wrong on my original post... removed.

It is something unique with the network in NYC and some other areas of the country. I was visiting NYC last week and had this issue consistently all around NYC. When I arrived back in my hometown of ATL, the issue disappeared.
that lends significant credence to the fact that this is a network issue, not a hardware one.
My belief is it's been a combination of Verizon and Apple improving the overall issue. First week with my iPhone 7 was horrendous. The next one was an improvement in that I only got one no service drop, and only experienced 3G service in areas that I knew to be good for LTE. So, something was being improved on the Verizon network while I was still on 10.0.2. And since installing 10.1 beta 2 yesterday, it's been stable on LTE.
Actually, it lends credence it's a iPhone 7 software issue with certain specific network configurations.
So all of us are eligible for complimentary Beats Solo3?
How high up management did you have to go up to complain to before this was even offered? I couldn't even get a comped 3.5mm-lightning adapter
I got a lightning adapter
don't we all share the same network configuration on our phones? otherwise I would need to download a new network file when i arrive at atlanta. that doesn't seem correct?
Just to clarify you're testing beta 2 with a T-Mobile iPhone 7?
That's great news for us T-Mobile users who are still experiencing issues.
I didn't get anything at all! how did you guys get stuff? my rep insisted we focus on fixing the issue lol.
I asked can I have one for the inconvenience and they were a little caught off guard I think and said ok
I'm talking about Verizon network configurations. Verizon operates on different combinations of frequency bands in different areas of the country.
Yes I am on T-Mobile and the phone seems to be working perfectly now. Anyone having problems should at least try the beta 2 update.
