IOS 7.1 update bring carrier unstable "Searching..."

Hi,
After upgrade iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1 my carrier signal becomes unstable after every 30 sec it starts to searching it. Battery also affected as I am not able to use it for more than 6 hours. Before it was fine on 7.0.4 but later without upgrade my signal becomes unstable yes without upgrade my signal becomes unstable. then I thought to upgrade it so it will resolves the issue, but who knows the situation got worsed. My battery drains from 100% to 10% in 6 hours (maximum). My carrier signal is fluctuating in one minute it changes it three states
1. Searching
2. No service
3. Vodafone IN ( means it got signal full 5 star )
4. but soon after 10 sec again gone
Please do a fix for this as I am not able to use my phone it is lying in my drawer.

Thanks Direct to - this did not work for me
I am almost on 1 week with "No Service" & "Searching", this causes my battery to need full charges 3-4 times a day.
Apple replaced my phone - nice considering it was out of warranty. They tried everything they could do, but it's still not connecting to the Carrier. (Rogers) I called the Apple guy in tech support and left him a message to see if there is maybe anything else they can think of.
Still an ongoing issue, reopened my ticket with Rogers, they did a reset again, I have to wait another 24 hours for it to work? This is LTE Coverage, my son is having same problems on his phone too. Same phone, same plan. Husband has 3G plan on same phone, no issues.
I can't get the phone to work
I can't text unless I'm on wifi
I can't get data unless on wifi
Not really sure what else to do. Might be carrier, might be iOS 7.1

Hi Samantha,
Are you aware that if you restore your ipad that you will lose all data from your ipad and very difficult to get it back unless you had previously made a back-up of your data on itunes or in the cloud. and that would be on the computer you set those up on. (There are some independent apps out there that might help restore data but I don't have any experience with them...)
Also, I think if you restore on another computer you're supposed to have administrator rights and have the latest itunes update. And I think if you sync (if restoring is considered syncing with another computer, you'll be locked out of your computer or a new one.)
I don't know if there is a way for you to safely eject your ipad from your mom's laptop and find another way, but please read this
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
Also, I suggest you start a new post and title it something like First, stuck on update and now on Restore on another computer. Please HELP! And then tell the story of your problem that you originally included and your follow-up efforts to restore given a suggestion on previous post (though I think you SHOULD AVOID RSTORE if you can.) And refer them to your original post

Hope this helps and if you can get back to your ios before the upgrade, stay with it. I hope it all works out for you.
FYI - If it's a new or refurb bought within the past year you might be able to have it replaced by Apple.

Hi chuckrabaw,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the iPhone is searchiong for a network. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. There are a few steps listed in this article you did not mention trying, they may be able to help the issue.
If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Since the latest update I am unable to carry a search from one playlist over to another. Is there something in settings that would allow me to do this?

Does ios 7.1 contain a carrier update for Meteor in Ireland? I haven't taken the latest update as I don't want to lose my 3G on/off button (which will be replaced with a 4G switch).

Yes, I know... I discovered now that I have saved the photos I wanted from it long time ago (for the same reasons, i didn't wanted to lose them). So I'm kind of saved. Also it has been like crap because the laptop where I had my backups is as dead as can be. That was the moment when I panicked. From now on... I'll back-up it everyday. Thank you a lot!

HT201270 iOS: Updating your carrier settings why is this asking to do first time since my old 3gs

iOS: Updating your carrier settings why is this asking to do first time since my old 3gs now its asking on my 5

Sometimes your carrier may release important updates that the phone needs to work with them, maybe something is missing, its hard to tell, try these steps.
Make sure your device is connected to the Internet.
Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Let me know

HT201270 iOS: Updating your carrier settings_ what do carrier settings do?

Message: iOS: Updating your carrier settings_
what do carrier settings do?

Connectivity to the carriers network.
Why the hesitation to update? or better question, why do you care?
If you want the best connectivity, do the update. If you do not care if there are connectivity issues, don't do the update. But at the same time, do not complain when you have connectivity issues.

2g/3g/4g toggle still missing in iOS 8.1 update.. iPhone 6

I updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.1. Though apple claims that 2g/3g/4g toggle is available in the update, it is not available in the phone.
I use an iPhone 6 in India. I have checked the upgrading of network and searched for some option to activate it. Nothing helps
Anybody got a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Nik8163,
I have the similar problem. I ported my number from Vodafone to Airtel 2 days back and the 2g 3g toggle button is no more. I contacted airtel and they said its something to do with a plan and 2g is not active for my sim. But whenever my 3g signal drops i get the 2g but thats not good enough as my battery life goes for a toss cuz the phone still keeps searching for the 3g signal. Also apple support mentioned something about unlocking the sim, I have no clue as to what thats about and they also mentioned an update to carrier settings which i believe is not there in airtel. Im going to restore my phone back and install iOS 8.1.1 again tomorrow and see if it works. If it doesnt Im going to have to visit an Airtel store to get more tech support.
Another interesting thing i noticed was, my friend who has an iPhone 5 has airtel and has the 2g 3g toggle. But that phone has only EDGE connection as its data plan is EDGE, when i put that sim in my phone i didnt get the 2g 3g toggle. But when I put my SIM in that iPhone 5, surprisingly the 2g 3g toggle button was there and it seemed to work as i was using the phone for quite a while surfing in both 2g and 3g. Hope this extra bit of info helps you to sort this issue and you may get an idea from the same. Hopping for a positive reply from someone so we can sort this issue out. Im beginning to feel moving from Vodafone to Airtel was a costly mistake.
Cheers,
M.

After iOS 8.3 update, apps stuck on OPEN on App Store Updates page

Did the iOS 8.3 update by backing up my iPad Mini in iTunes then doing a "Restore". I did that with the last update and all went fine. This time, it appears to have gone well except that I had some apps that had updates pending after the Restore. After doing the updates, when I go to the App Store "Updates" page, I still have 4 of my apps listed there with the button option set to OPEN. On the upper right corner it says "Updated August 18, 2015". Yesterday when I did the update was Saturday April 25, 2015 - go figure. When I tap them they all open but they never leave the page. One post said to wait until an app had a valid update pending and see what happens after I update it, so I'll need to wait to see if that works. I have searched this community and tried all suggestions: changed the date set to manual and push it out over 30 days. That did not work. Did a reset. No luck. I even did another "Restore" thinking maybe that would resolve it, but they came right back. The puzzling thing is that in all of my searching, I have found apps stuck in differing states of "waiting" or "downloading", but none of them have mentioned seeing the apps with the OPEN option visible. I did delete the apps and that made them go away, but I'd prefer to keep them. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance...slog

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Safari no longer works after iOS 8.2 update.

I installed the iOS 8.2 update and Safari will not work at all. If I tap a bookmark, it just freezes. If I manually enter a search term or a url it doesn't respond at all. I read about some other (not the same) issues with Safari and the common advice was to restore from an iCloud backup, which I have done, to no avail. Anyone else having the same issue? Anyone else able to RESOLVE the same issue, and if so, HOW??

Do this and it should be back up and running.
1. Backup your iphone to itunes.
2. Then unplug the iphone from the computer and turn off your iphone
3. Hold the home button (while the iphone is off) and plug the iphone back to the computer
4. Restore the iphone using itunes via recovery mode (this will install a fresh set of firmware on your iphone)
5. Put your files back on your iphone and that will work

Call Forwarding Breaks with iOS 8.3 Update on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus with AT&T

Ever since the iOS 8.3 Update, call forwarding is no longer working on my iPhone 6 Plus. I have spent dozens of hours troubleshooting with both AT&T Advanced Business Technical Support as well as many hours with top technicians from Apple at my local Genius Bars.
This is a critical bug for me as I used to use the call forwarding option multiple times a day, EVERY DAY, because when I am in certain business locations my mobile phone gets no reception and calls go right to voice mail. I need to have them forwarded to the land line I'm located at.
APPLE, PLEASE HELP!!!
I've done extensive testing, and this seems definitely to be related to Apple iOS 8.3, and it seems to be specific to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus ONLY.
To illustrate the EXACT problem:
A: Settings -> Phone -> Call Forwarding
B. Call Forwarding - Turn on
C. Enter Number and return to previous screen by touching the blue "Call Forwarding" to return to previous screen.
D. Call forwarding button is "green" for a split second, then returns to previous OFF state and no forwarding number is displayed. DOES NOT WORK.
NOT AN AT&T PROBLEM. IF SOMEONE IS EXPERIENCING THIS WITH OTHER CARRIERS PLEASE COMMENT HERE.
Further validation this is isolated to iOS 8.3 on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus ONLY and not the sim card from AT&T...
Here are the latest steps I did with my AT&T sim card and my wife AT&T sim card (she has an iPhone 5s):
1. Removed my sim and put it in the 5s. The phone said that a "carrier update" was required and I selected "NO" to that prompt. Call forwarding functionality worked as expected on the 5s running iOS 8.3
2. I removed the sim from the 5s and re-inserted it. This time I selected "YES" to do the carrier update to eliminate that as a variable, and the call forwarding functionality still worked as expected.
3. I then placed my wifes sim in my 6 Plus. Call forwarding functionality does NOT work on the 6 Plus (was not prompted for carrier update). Also, keep in mind this is my second phone (Apple provided me with a new iPhone 6 Plus when they couldn't resolve the problem at the Genius Bar after hours of troubleshooting).
Note: I did one additional test which as interesting: I put my sim in the 5s and turned call forwarding "on". Then, I put the sim back into my 6 Plus. The calls were still being forwarded to the number I put in while it was in the 5s, but the call forwarding interface in the 6 Plus showed that it was NOT forwarding calls. I could not turn OFF the call forwarding from the 6 Plus and had to put the sim back into the 5s in order to turn off the call forwarding.
If anyone has an update on this, or any other suggestions please advise! This is a critical issue for me as when I travel and when I am in poor areas of reception I need to forward calls. This is a featured I was using multiple times a day, EVERY DAY.
APPLE????????? HELP!!!!!!

Yes, I am dealing with this right now on at&t with a 6 plus. I've been down the same road as you. I got it to work with a windows phone yesterday but not my 6 plus when I switched back to the iPhone. My wifes 6 works fine. I believe it is an at&t issue and not an 8.3 issue. After dealing through several levels of support at at&t, they are telling me it has to do with their transition to hd voice. Some people are having this issue because they are updating their system and some peoples phone profile, on phones that have hd voice capabilities, are not getting added to their line and call forwarding will not work without it. I have a trouble ticket open to their engineering dept and they promise it will work for me on or before the 24th of april. Engineering has to build my phones profile so call forwarding will work with my iPhone.
This is frustrating because like you, I need to forward my calls because I have no signal in my office and need to forward to another phone so I can get my calls. If at&t would quit dragging their feet and enable wifi calling, this wouldn't be an issue for me. I would suggest you put more pressure on at&t and escalate this until it gets resolved. Or put your sim in a phone that does not have hd voice capability and see if it works then.
Good luck. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this will be fixed for me on or before the 24th. We'll see.
EDIT: I see you did put it in another phone and it worked. That backs up that the issue is at&t and their hd voice upgrades. They had no explanation as to why some work and some don't, but have them make sure a profile for your phone is on the line. If not, they'll need to build one for the phone so that it''l work. At least that's the story for now. Like I said, I'll know more in a day or two.

Has anyone noticed a massive battery drain problem after the iOS 6.1 update on the iPhone 4s?

I updated my iPhone 4s last night with iOS 6.1 update. This morning, the battery percentage has been falling at an alarming rate while in standby, and the phone seems to be heating up and staying at an elevated temperature while in standby. Has anyone else noticed this? This only started once I did the update. Any solutions?

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Unable to open PDF files in messages since iOS 8.3 update

i updated my iPhone 6 to the iOS 8.3 update and unable to open PDF files with in the messages app ... I was able to do this prior to the update. Was the functionality taken away (still able to open jpg and ping files)?

I visited a "genius" in the Apple Store, Leicester, this morning. After some playing around he seems to have sorted it. Apparently - now they tell me! - you don't need Adobe Reader on Macs as the Mac has its own pdf reader built-in. Safari 5.1 is now clashing with Reader and the best approach is to remove Reader - and the relevent preference files. I took one of my MBPs into the store and am just checking it out to see if everything is now ok. I'm now planning to make the changes on my other machine and will report back. (The genius said that my best approach was to bring in the second MBP but I'm not very convenient to Leicester so I'm going to give it whirl myself.)
Wish me luck.
But why did we load Reader in the first place? Are we that unusual in the Mac community? Surely, others must have done the same and are having the same problem with Safari 5.1???

HT201270 IPad 1 repeated crashes: Will an update to carrier settings reduce the number of crashes and make my ipad 1 useable again?

Since updating to iOs 5.1, my iPad 1 crashes so often it is unuseable. It normally crashes when using Chrome or Safari - but also on other programs such as MotionX GPS. I've just "restored" it using itumes - and on the way out was invited to update the carrier settings. It has an old sim card in it - which I no longer use since my iphone can run as a mobile hotspot. So the question is - will updating the carrier settings help - or does anyone know some other majic that might work?

Carrier settings updates are small files that can include updates from Apple and your carrier to carrier-related settings, such as network, calling, cellular data, messaging, personal hotspot, and voicemail settings. You may receive notifications from time to time to install new carrier-settings updates.
Does your iPad crash for all apps and use or just specific things?
If it only crashes on specific apps make sure the apps are updated if they are not already.
Also you may need to look into doing a back up and restore to factory settings.
