Iphone cannot connect to EDGE

Ever since updating to version 1.1.2 access to EDGE is intermittent. It will work for awhile, then the "E" disappears and I can't send/receive email or browse on Safari. The only way to re-connect to EDGE is to turn the phone off and restart it.
I took the phone to the Apple store and they say that AT&T is upgrading the EDGE network up and down the West Coast and some towers are down, so when usage is high some users can't connect. I don't know whether to believe this for the following reasons: I see no posts about this problem here; the problem started right after installing version 1.1.2; I had also just installed Leopard on my MacBook; and I have a friend whose iPhone is working perfectly (her MacBook is still running Tiger).
I have reset the iPhone 3 times. That hasn't helped.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I have had this problem, and what I believed it was, was when my iPhone is trying to connect to WiFi networks, the E will disappear until the phone has a dedicated connection, and is no longer in the search and connect phase.
I could be wrong, but try to turn your WiFi off on your iPhone, it works for me.

  • Ipod touch and iphone cannot connect, as no apple mobile device usb

    First the problems was my ipod touch, it did not connect to itunes, my computer or would not charge. I tried everything, uninstalling apple software, restarting apple mobile device manager. I tried to find the apple mobile device usb, and it was just not there. My iphone has been connecting fine in terms of connecting and charging, so when i connected it i found the apple mobile device usb and followed the instructions on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538#error52 so i went to delete the apple mobile device usb, then when i went to scan for hardwear changes it didnt install back, so now also my iphone cannot connect to itunes, but unlike the ipod touch it does connect to the computer and charges.
    Please some one help me!!!! i have been trying to fix it for ages, and and am at my wits end.
    thanks

    Have you tried:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    - If your computer sees the iPhone but not the iPod and you are using the same cable and USB port that indicates an iPod problem. Have you tried resetting the iPod.? Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Also try running diagnostics.

    My iphone cannot connect to itunes store

    Hi
      This problem has been plaguing me for weeks. All other solutions had no effect. Putting forward the date by two years then gave an error message in the app store that my username could not be verified by a secure server, please reset date and time. I then set the date and time back to auto and was then able to reconcet to updates as before. Thanks very much to whoever figured this out

  • Cannot connect to EDGE

    Have had iPhone for one week and have never connected to EDGE - only ask for WiFi connection. Can someone tell me if there is something I need to do to have device connect to WEDGE - very frustrating as I cannot get email, etc, unless I am at home or office where WiFi (and laptop!) are available.

    So I assume you never see the blue square with the E in it next to your signal strength. There is nothing to do for you to connect to Edge, it does it on it's own if there is Edge coverage where you are.
    If you are not seeing the E (or as you say, no internet features work when not on WiFi) I would call AT&T and ask.

  • I get a message that my ipad and iphone cannot connect to the iTunes store. I have tried to sync books to my iPad and iphone and i get the message that I cannot connect to the iTunes store and thus cannot sync a book to my books app. Why?

    I get a message that my ipad 2 and iphone 5 cannot connect to the itunes store when I try to sync a book to my book app. Although, when I click "store" both are able to access the itunes store. Why is this? Also I tried to open a book that was synced and a message that I did not have enough memory to load this book popped up--when I know that I have well over 40gb of memory left in my ipad and over 16gb left in my iphone. The message that I cannot connect to the itunes store is strange that it offers no option and I have to hit OK to get out and use my ipad or iphone.

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
    If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and changing the date to a few months (or maybe a year or two) in the future and then re-trying

    Hello Apple_Addict22,
    Thank you for your question. iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1.  First, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.

  • New gmail account on iPhone cannot connect using SSL

    Hi,
    I was having problems accessing the gmail server on my iphone so i deleted the account settings on the iphone and am creating a new one. However, the iphone tells me that it cannot connect using SSL. Has anyone had a similar problem? I don't want to setup the account without this basic security.

    Hey milos321,
    I'm not sure what caused the issue. I believe account may have been automatically locked because abnormal activity.

  • Iphone cannot connect to server during restore process?

    I am trying to restore my iphone 4s (bought off a friend but reset to original settings) from an old iphone 3g back up. I've been following this process:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
    and got up to step 4, but after I enter my icloud details (which are correct, I've triple checked!) and accepted the terms and conditions, the phone cant get passed this step as it "cannot connect to the server"? I currently have it attached to my mac book and there is full wifi.
    help!

    That message can be for a varitey of things, not limited to but including;
    Failure to connect between the carrier's activation server and the Apple activation server.
    Failure to connect between the Apple activation server and your internet source.
    Failure to connect between the internet source (cable) and the WiFi router.
    Failure to connect between the WiFi router and the device itself.
    You choice is to either troubleshoot or wait it out.
