IPhone :: "No Service" Showing When Signal Is Known To Be Good?
May 28, 2012
This morning, my iPhone said "No Service", all the way into work.There where no issues with Vodafone's network, and there are no areas where there is no coverage, on my way to/from work and home.I tried turning Airplane mode on then off again, to force the iPhone to search for a signal, that didn't work (usually does). I had to turn the iPhone off, then back on again, and there it was - a full 3G signal (5 bars). This happens a lot - the iPhone either falsly reports that I have 2G or 3G, when in fact I've only got regular GSM, or it reports "No Signal", and will go all day without aquiring a signal, even in known good areas, unless I turn airplane mode on then off, or turn the whole iPhone on then off.
I have had my iPhone 4 for nearly a year now and previously i have had no problems with the phone but over the past few weeks since i have done the ios:5 update.. It's been driving me insane. I lose signal when i need signal the most & it's also been cutting out all of my phone calls.
So after connecting to my wifi, (which I have been able to do forever) it gives me the wifi signal strength up in the top left corner, signal strength is good, but internet does nothing.
Recently, I began to have this problem where the phone is showing full signal but the phone is actually not receiving any signal. So calls will not come in at all.
Can anyone recommend a good lockscreen? (showing weather, calendar etc). I used to have intelliscreen but I cant get that anymore as rockyourphone wont install on my phone (3.1.2JB)
I am going to Tell you what i dont like about Blackberry , hoping you would do some thing about it ?a. The PH itself is nice , but the service plans sucks big time in India.b. the minimum Rs 299 plan does not let you operate your browser or other apps , for the same price on a Nokia one can can a do a lot more and now push email , that BB prides itself for is available on most Nokia via NOkia messaging service FOR FREE or Gmail instant mail service .c.I feel in RS 299 plan BB should allow minimum 3 MB of data usage on top of it any further usage should be charged at 5 paisa for 10 kb, so ppl can use apps like Facebook etc on the device.d. India is a price conscious mkt with restrictions like these you will loose customers to Nokia who is king supreme in India and upcoming Android devices who believes in Freedom and choice.e. dont tread Apples path in India , they are a big flop in India for the same reasons.f. Lastly , release of new OS like 5.0 has not touched india , the highly sold devices in India such as 8900 and bold . Speak to your lazy partners like Airtel and Vodafone to update the OS on their system , where as Vodafone UK, Spain is on OS5.0 since dec 09.
Also am planning to get rid of mine BB as soon as Motorola Milestone touches Indian shores (Feb end or March 2010).As i don't see any hope BIS will see any improvements..

hi. i am using my iPhone 4 on iOS 5.1 and my signal on IRE meteor is gone. I can't get a signal and i have restored and toggled airplane mode. I dropped my phone 2 days ago and the back is missing a lot of glass i wonder if this could be my problem? i have had no signal for more then 24 hours and to be honest i am willing to throw my phone at a wall
When I use my iphone4 as a hotspot, I run through all the required settings but my computer does not recognized my iphone4. I check the signal which has 5 bars and AT&T then an "E".. I expected to see a 3G so I reset the system and still received an "E". So my deduction is that the Hotspot will not work without a 3G signal.
my iphone 4s i was using one week, after shuting down signal can't get, it's showing no signal on network bars.change few sim card none of them it's connect. I try with update software 7.1.1, after update still no signal. I activate phone with sim card of t-mobile macedonia. and still searching for signal
iPhone keeps going from 3G to Edge and then showing no bars. And after I turn off cellular data and put it back on to get back 3G it loses all bars completely and goes to "searching.." and then finally "no network"Â and then I have to manual search for my network. Whole problem starts happening all over after connecting again.
I'm on o2 uk, I have an xperia Ray with a new sim. My phone constanly loses signal yet when i search or start using the phone even when I haven't moved from where I've been standing or sat for the last hour or so the phone suddenly jumps to 2 or 3 bars on the signal icon! How can that be if I'm stationary it goes from nothing to 2 or 3 bars?? Also my family who are on the same network but have iphones & blackberry don't have this problem, always have strong signals as we live in a good signal strength area but I'm the only one who can't get a signal. If I go to work other people can use their phones-also on o2 but I get nothing! I get texts hours & days after they're sent to me, calls get sent to voicemail as I have no service, o2 sent me a new phone so it's not the phone, it's a new sim, I've tried going on gsm only, rebooting, turning off the radio etc etc but I'm no better off, I'm at my witts end & ready to switch to another brand phone.
I just updated an Iphone 3GS to OIS 6.1.6 and now the "phone" do not work, I have tried with two different sim cards and it continues to be locked on No Service or switch between Searching and No Service. I have tried switching on and off flight mode. The problem started when I upgraded to 6.1.3. Now I did a complete new installation of 6.1.6 and the problem persists. The phone has not been jailbroken
yesterday morning my Sony z3 was working great when all of a sudden the signal dropped and said no service. It has been 24 hours now and still nothing. I restarted the phone many times, did a factory reset, updated software, fixed software and left it off for a while.
I was one of the first couple of dozen in the store on the west coast. I had the Apple Store rep activate the phone for me. He did what he had to do and said it would just be a matter of time. I left.
I came home. It's been two hours and still showing "No Service." 1-800-AppleCare is either busy or disconnects me after a dozen rings.
I called AT&T, and the rep said they were briefed that due to so many activations (thanks a whole helluva lot Europe and the east coast ), activations were delayed with no time estimates given. The AT&T rep did offer to take down my land line number so someone would call me later in the day to confirm or deny that the activation has taken place.
I recently got an HTC sensation. Almost immediately after i bought the phone I starting having problems about losing of signal. Some times when i turn on the phone it says, "Signal lost, Limited service", I can't confirm that it says that on phones with english settings, since mine is on swedish settings, but I think that is what it says in english. Well I'm getting kind of tired of this now since it's happening pretty often. Sometimes it can be fixed by turning the device of and on and removing the SD card and then re enter it a couple of times.
i am using the phone for last 4 months and suddenly from last 2 day my phone is not showing network/signal what can i do ? i have tried the simcard in another phone it works perfectly but not in htc
I have been using my Bold 9780 for the past 18 months without any problem. But recently it stopped connecting to the mobile network, and shows only the SOS signal. It does connect to the wifi, and all other functions seem to be working okay. I tried with different SIM cards with different providers with the same result. These SIM cards are working fine with other handsets.
i hav xperia neo v. i used to conect my phone to my hdtv bt frm last week i am unable to connect my phone to the hdtv. when i connect my phone to the hdtv , my phone flashes a notification sayng 'hdmi connected' which dissaperars after few seconds n flashes again . this is continuing n the tv is showng 'no signal'.
I have a bb curve 8520 on orange, im from the uk and have virgin broadband. i have a dlink wirles router. i can connect to it no problem and get the wifi emblem in white and black showing its connected, i also have my routers name come up so its definatly connected. i have litteraly no signal in my house, either 1 bar or sos, sometimes i will get uma signal, sometimes not, my gf has the same contract and phone as i do, both are orange branded phones and she gets uma signal almost instantly as she steps into the house. why do i not get uma, are my settigns not configured properly? as i really cant send or recieve calls and messages.
My tour on the signal portion of my tour has shown my phone to be 1X instead of 1XEV...anybody else notice that with their tours or any other blackberry handset? Or is it just a Verizon thing?
Before the software update to 2.1 I could tell what kind of signal strength I had (i.e. 3G or G etc) now I have a H, but I don't have any idea of what it means.
