Re: Keep getting lost connection on iphone 3g

Hi
I don't have the answer but this has happened to my iPhone 3g. Where I work is not in a 3G area and I occasionally get the same message. I wondered if it was during peak use times but I may be wrong. I just reload the page and on the second or third attempt it is fine. Today it has not failed to load.

Re: Keep getting lost connection on iphone 3g

My connection has been dropping on and off to. Getting really annoying as when it drops out I lose my push email. The only way of getting it back is to fire up safari and load a web site or toggling 3g on and off. As my phone is jailbroken I have spotted that the phone is losing it's IP address and is struggling to get a new one. Setting the phone to 2g fixes the push email problem but it is horribly slow!
The same issue is being reported over at the o2 forums.

Re: Keep getting lost connection on iphone 3g

I had the same problem so booked into the genius bar at the trafford centre last weekend, the guy asked a few usual questions and did a test which showed the phone was getting a weak signal, 15mins later i left with a brand new phone and signal strength and connection have been fine since.

Worth a try folks.
