Is Your iOS 4.3.3 iPhone Signal Cutting Out On Fido?
After recently updating my (non-jailbroken) iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3.3, I immediately noticed that my Fido signal drops out completely and then resets itself immediately about twice every 24 hours.
For example, the Fido signal will do something like this:
- 5 Bars > 4 Bars > 3 Bars > 2 Bars > 1 Bar > No Bars/Fido word/3G disappears > One second delay > 5 Bars/3G/Fido word back instantly
If I’m in an app checking mail, or any other app using an Internet connection, the popup “could not activate cellular data network” would appear during the one second delay mentioned above.
After swapping SIM cards, doing various restores and resets, the issue continues.
As a blogger, I am constantly using my iPhone. I’m also always watching my signal bars, especially with the iPhone 4. So when I see my bars drop and cellular network errors appear, I notice immediately. Also, I have not experienced this in previous versions of iOS.
Curious to get more information, I sourced a bunch of my local Vancouver colleagues who all use a non-jailbroken iOS 4.3.3 iPhone 4 on Fido. I spoke to 23 people and all have experienced the same behaviour as me. I also spoke to folks on Rogers and Telus, but they did not report any unusual findings.
So, I come to you Community with this query:
- Are you on Fido, using a non-jailbroken iPhone on iOS 4.3.3 and experiencing what I detailed above?
Or
- Are you on another carrier using a non-jailbroken iPhone on iOS 4.3.3 and experiencing what I detailed above?

I have experienced exactly the same thing on a non-jailbroken iPhone 4 bought unlocked from Apple. It’s frustrating.
We have two iPhones on Rogers network also running the latest iOS and have been getting the no active cell network error messages.I have restored both iPhones how ever the message still keeps popping up. Now I will call Rogers for discounts on service…Thanks..
I noticed the same thing on my new iPad 2 on Rogers & 4.3.3
Same problem on Fido!
Same Problem On Fido and Un-Jailbroken… Its quite annoying.
Did it work?
I actually got better reception on 4.3.3 on Rogers.
I have been having this issue with my non-jailbroken 3GS 4.3.3 on Bell.
I have been having this issue for a while now. Almost six months. Really doesn’t bother me
U might wanna try turning location off …
Just for interest’s sake, I’m on Fido with a 3GS on iOS 4.0.1 jailbroken and unlocked and have no issues.
I’m have noticed this issue as well. I have not upgraded from 4.3.2 yet so I don’t think it’s the update.
Jb iPhone 4 on 4.3.1 on fido n the 3G cuts out sometimes n takes about 5 mins to connect.
I am on Rogers and am seeing the same issue in the Vancouver area.
I experienced something similar too. It seems Fido signal sometime drops out for no apparent reason. I thought it might have something to do with my jailbroken iPhone. I guess this is happening to many even without jailbroken phones. Like to know what Fido/Apple going to do.
Rogers and I have been together for for 15 years now. Its a give and take relationship so any chance I get to take I always take advantage of it. This time I needed more minutes to use a month..so it worked for me.

This happens on my iPhone 4 (factory unlocked) too and I’m with BELL! I noticed this since updating to 4.3.2.
iOS: 4.3.3
iPhone: 4 factory unlocked
Carrier: Bell
On Fido in Ontario and have been experiencing this well before 4.3.3. Been at least 6 months and sometimes have to turn airplane mode on then off to get a signal back
I am with Rogers (non Jail Broken), and have been experiencing the same thing since updating to 4.3.3. I’ve been waiting for you to post about the issue as I figured I couldn’t be alone.
This is happening on my Rogers (recently jail broken) device running iOS 4.3.2. It started happening when I upgraded to 4.3.2 and continued even after I jail broke my device.
Having the exact same issue as described since updating. Any solutions available?
Same for me for the last two updates …… New iPhone On the way from Rogers

Does anyone know the correct carrier version number required for ios 4.3.3 and the Rogers network?
@BrodieTheDog I agree it’s not the update as I’m on an iPhone 3G IOS 4.2.1 and have experienced this carrier signal loss at least twice a day sometimes much more often for a few weeks now. I thought it was only Fido but it appears to affect others. It can’t be sunspot activity but it may be something beyond Fido. But what?

Yes!!! Its a lil ridiculous I noticed it on iOS 4.3.2 and now more than a few times a day it’s a pain in the ass

Mines fine and i am with fido as well great reception and works the same as before.
I get the occasional drops, I just reboot my iPhone 4… then I’m good to go… but yes.. I do get drops…
I’m on Rogers, but am running 4.3.2 still. over the past week, i’ve noticed my signal drop completely and 3G disappear as well (to the point where it says Searching… for a signal). so far it’s happened twice during this week
Dude I have the EXACT SAME thing happening to me…but I only updated yesterday….perhaps it’s a fido problem?
iPhone 4, latest iOs on FIdo in Mtl area and have not seen this problem at all.
I was disconnected from a call last weekend twice, but ever since, it’s been fine.
I have not updated to 4.3.3, but I had this issue for the first 5 or 6 months since I got my iPhone, which was really a pain in the ass! But starting from 2 or 3 months ago it has never happened again.
My guess is the issue is related to Fido network, not the iOS or the hardware.

I also have this problem. I’m from Montreal with Iphone 4 ios 4.3.3 unlocked(Apple) with fido
But it was start minimum 6 months ago!
I’d changed already my phone with the Genius. Changed my micro-sim. Same problem…
I am having this problem since the weekend… I am on Rogers though…
I have had this issue since the 4.2 update. I’m on Telus and I never had such a problem for the first six months of owning my iphone 4. And no, it’s not jailbroken.
I have this issue too after upgrading to 4-3-3 with fido
The screenshot is a Safari page.
Not limited to 4.3.3. I still use 4.1 and this happens all the time recently. I assumed it was a problem on their end.
Agreed. It’s been since December or so, find that I have to Airplane it as well. Though I should add, I don’t think this is limited to the iPhone 4 as it happens on my 3GS.
I’ve had this problem for quite some time now (non jailbroken iPhone 4 Rogers), but only the bars issue.. After updating to 4.3.3 I have noticed a few times that I’ll get the “couldn’t activate cell data network” popup as well and by the time I’ve looked up at the bars theyll be flashing back on again. But like some others said, I’ve had it in different manifestations for ages now, doesn’t bother me anymore.
I have this issue too after upgrading to 4-3-3 with fido (non jailbroken iPhone 4 FIDO)
I’m on Rogers (Ottawa) and I’ve noticed this issue for the past 2 months or so. Running the latest OS now…
I have a factory unlocked iPhone 4 (4.3.2) on Fido and I haven’t seen this issue, however I updated my girlfriends locked iPhone 4 to 4.3.2 a couple of days before 4.3.3 came out and she is now experiencing this problem.
We have one phone experiencing this on 4.3.2 on Fido in Ottawa
I have an unlocked iPhone 4 bought from apple…non-jb… With the latest iOS version.. I’m in Montreal on Fido… I never encountered this problem…
Yup, on Rogers. Has been happening a lot recently. Annoying.
