iPhone 4S, firmware 5.0.1, LUXGSM

[geohei]

Hi.

A friend of mine just reported that the following combination makes the iPhone stop from working properly.

• iPhone 4S
• Firmware 5.0.1
• LUXGSM

So ... DO NOT UPDATE iPhone 4S when LUXGSM is the provider!

Tango iPhone 4S and 5.0.1 seems to work properly.

The best mobile operator is TANGO. All the people should move to TANGO. Since the start of TANGO i have never had problems with this operator.

Never had any issues with LUXGSM either.

Firmware 5.0.1 iPhone4 works fine

5.0.1 on 4S works like a charm (Tango network).

But I'm going to change to Luxgsm. The Tango bastards didn't want to cancel my subscription when my iPhone4 was stolen

Same here ...

I also had trouble w/ TANGO. They still send me monthly bills 0f 0.03 € despite the fact that I canceled subscription some 7 years ago.

OT: Also ... today I called their helpdesk for some infos about Tango Blue (their LuxFibre peoduct). I elected to speak to a lux. agent and got a french one. I asked ybout IPv4 and a "Public IPv4" and got "What is IPv4?".
No thanks!

The only advantage I see is that they provide Internet/fix. tel. plus mobile tel, which VO doesn't.

FYI, the new Sim cards from LUXGSM are available now and are solving the update issue as well as the rather disastrous battery times of the iPhone 4S.

I went from more or less 24 hours to 2 and a half day battery time (normal usage).

No connection issues so far.

Thanks for the feedback!

Actually I didn't know that the problem was SIM card related.

Hi all,

The problem of the 5.0.1 firmware was the "Invalid SIM Card" or "No SIM Card" messages with some SIM cards (i.e. the ones from LuxGSM here in Luxembourg).
Since I use a tandem SIM card (2 SIM cards with the same number) which is not available in a new version I had to stick to the old iOS 5.0.
For the first time ever Apple released an updated firmware without changing the version.

The new 5.0.1 firmware (Build 9A406) released last week works nicely with the older SIM Cards.

A german magazine was talking about similar problems with one german provider, and that the "fault" was indeed Apple's.

?!?!
I just checked via General > Software Update my version. It says:
iOS 5.0.1
Your software is up to date.

About > Version says it's 5.0.1 (9A405).

How do you get the 9A406 firmware?

Thanks,

Yes, indeed. There were also other countries/providers with the same problem.
It is a combination problem of 5.0.1 firmware and specific Sim card(s).

I did not specify it but this new 5.0.1 firmware is only available for 4S iPhones.
You can download it here (I had to because iTunes encountered an error during the upgrade): http://appldnld.apple.com/iPhone4//041- ... store.ipsw
To install it via iTunes press Shift and click restore, thereafter locate your downloaded file and follow the normal procedure.

Ah ... that explains why it didn't make its way to my iPhone 4 (w/o "S")

Thanks for the clarification!
