Iphone 4s no service or searching

So my iphone 4s show me in upper left corner Searching and then No service but in carrier when I set to manual show me list of networks and if I select one then is No service or Searching, this is when I'm at my home, if I go in near city, phone connects to network and i can call when phone is in my hand and have speaker on if i take phone near ears then show me call failed, if i enable 3g in cellular, phone have full signal but can't call or send sms, imidediately show call failed. i tried all the software solutions which were suggested on forums (date&time, reset network, restore, airplane mode) but no luck. So I think there is hardware problem, I read there can be problem in blue coil connector so I gently push it and it fell off, from then phone didn't show me carrier any more, then on one of forums are saying that you can solder there where it was blue coil, so i did this with soldering gun and the phone again show me carrier, but still no service. So there must be something wrong on any other part in phone. like I say in city have in upper left showing full signal sometimes when i get home there is full signal but can't call (call failed). I'm using this sim card in other phones and there works perfectly, I use sim card of friend in iphone 4s and same problem, so there is iphone problem and hardware.
i hope you could help me, or just any suggestion which part in phone is faulty, it is something about antenna, signal.

  • Eversince I updated my iphone 4 to IOS 5.0.1, sometimes I get a 'No Service' or 'Searching'  signal where my network signal should be upon which I have  to 'Reset all Settings' to get the phone normal again.Is  there a solution to this?

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • IPhone 6 location services/gps not working

    Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on.  I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.

    Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.

  • SOS only, No Service and searching for network

    Need help!! Very little beer spilled on my iPhone 4 where the speaker and front camera is and was wiped try immediately. It was still working fine after the incident for a few days however, suddenly the iPhone started playing up and losing reception and now its started showing SOS only then it says No Service and switches back and forth from No Service to searching.
    I've tried...
    Turing on/off airplane mode
    Taking SIM out then putting it back in
    Putting another SIM in iPhone both Telstra SIM and Optus
    Putting iphone in container of rice for hours
    Restore network settings
    Hard reset iphone (holding sleep/home key)
    Updating iTunes version
    Sync -> back up iPhone -> restore iphone -> sync and back up iPhone from previous back up's -> restore back up again just to be on the safe side but there's no change and keeps switching from No Service to searching.
    Telstra is not sure whats wrong and has advised to take it to Apple or Telstra store for assessment and sent of to get fixed.
    Does anyone know why this is happening or what I can do to fix it without having to fork out money if possible as not covered by warranty anymore.

    Disregard this post, I have resolved my issue, thank you

  • Iphone 4s and iphone 4 no service with ios5 suggestions please

    first let me tell you my setup, i have both an iphone 4 and 4s in house, where i live i get bad service and was lucky enough to get a micro cell from at&t. i have 6mb dsl line. for over a year and a half i have had no issues with using phones in my home. both iphones and androids. after i upgraded to a 4s on launch day and upgraded my wifes 4 to ios5 we have both had issues of no service or searching and phones not working. i first blamed it on my micro cell but its kind of hard to when one phone shows 5 bars service and the other shows no service. so i thought it was not being handled right in the micro cell. at&t reset the micro cell on their end and i had reset it on my end. did all the network resets in the phones. still have the issue. once in a while both phones will say no service but oddly the 4 does this more than the 4s. im almost to the point of thinking it is a device issue but being that we are over an hour away from apple and there is no at&t corporate store here that can help i dont know what to do. she is a nurse in the ER and needs her phone to work incase they call her in.

    Im in the UK and get the same problem. We have 2 Iphone 4's and 1 4s in our house and the 4s spends most of it's time diverting to the answer machine. O2 have replaced the phone and i have the IOS update but its still the same. Thinking of a refund now.

  • IPhone 3GS No Service E?

    Last weekend I was left without phone use out of town because the iPhone showed No Service E. When I returned home I went to the AT&T store about this problem. I was told that the phone needs to be turned off for awhile everyday. I thought that this phone could stay on all the time. I was thinking about using this phone as my only phone, but now I don't know. Has anyone had this problem?

    That is not entirely correct.
    You can determine which network you are connected to by the icons displayed on the iPhone:
    If you see , you are on a 3G network.
    If you see , you are on a 3G network.
    If you see , you are on a GPRS network.
    EDGE is not GPRS, they are both variations of GSM, but GPRS is older and slower than EDGE.
    thanks for valuable information, these services are for data communication only not voice
    if you dont have data enabled by your carrier you dont see "3g" "E" "G" but you still can
    make voice calls with full service and signal of a GSM carrier.
    Data communication services have different signal transmissions from voice transmission networks, some places you are not able to access data but voice works fine and vice versa.
    'No Service' is the issue here.
    "E" also refered as 'EGPRS' stands for [Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution] not needed for voice communication.
    "G" stands for [General packet radio service ] not needed for voice communication
    both E and G have limitations that data and voice on handset cannot be used together at same time.
    "3g" stands for 'third generation' technology used for voice and data communication and can handle both voice and data at same time
    so when u see 'no service' on handset that mean your phone is unable to login into
    cellular network due to some reason and that network is operating on 'E' 'G' or '3G' network.
    since all these service are operated by cellular network so 'turning on airplane mode' disconnects you with your gsm carrier so that during flight their networks are not distrupted and frequencies generated by phone don't distrupt Airplane communication.
    turning of cellular data and 3g in phone disables searching of data communications
    but voice is available and carrier is available for voice communication if their
    is service logo and sufficient signal bars are avaiable and phone has successfully logged into
    the carriers networks.

  • HT4623 no service or searching keeps appearing .. how can i fix this?

    Help !!  my iphone 4 keeeps displaying the message 'no service' or searching .... how can i fix this please ?

    We'd need more info.
    I assume you are talking about cell phone service and not wifi connections.  If so, no service means it can't find a cell tower.  Should it?  Was it working before?  Is this an iphone 4 you just bought from someone?  Which brand, ATT or Verizon, or some other country like vodafone?  Is a sim card being used?  What company's sim card?  Is the phone locked or jailbroken?

  • I just bought an iPhone 4s. Now the search iphone function is not working. When I swipe the screen to the left, the search box appears but when I type what I want to search for, there is no action. Please help.

    I just got an iphone 4s. Now the search iphone function is not working. When I swipe the start screen, the search box shows up. But when I type what I want to search, there is no action. Please help.

    Try this...
    You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • Where can I buy a NEW iPhone WITHOUT a service plan?

    I have an iTouch now, I'm sell it.
    I want to have external speakers for apps and alarms.
    I do not want iTouch 2nd generation.
    I do not currently need it as a phone, but would like to have it for when I am ready.
    Is it possible to purchase the latest iPhone without any phone plan? When I go through the steps to purchase an iPhone from apple.com it doesn't have a "no plan" option.
    Do other places online / B&M sell iPhones or only apple.com and apple stores? (I do not want a used or refurbished)
    Surely I can still get a hold of an NEW iPhone without a service plan... but where and for how much?

    You can't buy a new iPhone in the US without a plan. Even if you could buy one, it would not work (even as an iPod) until activated with a cell phone provider. You would have to buy a used iPhone that had been activated. Be sure to get a US model (or one for your country if you aren't in the US). Check the part numbers in the right column of
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
    to make sure it is the correct version for your country.
    An officially unlocked one from one of the countries that sell them would also be OK, but any repair would have to be done in its original country. It would have to have been activated in some country, also.
