3G service terrible after update to iOS 4.2.1

Before the update, I could generally get at least 4 bars around the house. Now I'm lucky to get any service at all. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? Thanx, John

snakes527 did you notice that the post is about 3 1/2 years old? The poster already said that he got it working. Also, most posters never mark their post as solved.
Further, there was no FindMyiPod in iOS 4.2.11

Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

After updating to ios 8.3 in my Iphone 4s ,my phone dosen't show network .it only shows no service. what should i do?

model: iphone 4s (MD235J/A)
VERSION:8.3 (12F70)
Problem: after updating to ios 8.3 and restarting my phone it wont show cellular service.(no service)

Confirmed solution from Apple:
You need to do a full OS restore through iTunes on your phone. You can then restore from an iCloud or iTunes backup to be back in business. It *****, but that's the only solution right now.

"No Service" issue after updating iOS 8.1

My iPhone 5 is really giving trouble after updating all iOS 8.01, iOS 8.02 & iOS 8.1. Cellular network is come to halt, "No Service" issue is regular and i am not able to use my iPhone 5 as phone.
Please help me out else i have to switch to some other phone.

I have similar problem but with a 6:   bought new iPhone 6 four days ago, phone and 3G signal were fine in UK from Sat to Mon.   Yesterday, I traveled to Belgium and have had 'no service' problem since.   I am carrying a Nokia feature phone which is locked on to local network and working fine.
If I power off the iPhone and power on, it comes back and joins the network.   Five or so minutes later, it has dropped the network and will not re-attach if I put in/out of flight mode; needs power reset, and then drops again.
It is conceivable that this is a carrier issue but given that Nokia is fine and all the postings that I'm finding on various discussion sites, then I feel that it is an iOS issue.   I'm booked in to visit the Apple Store at the weekend.   My previous iPhone 4S was running iOS 7 and had no such problems.
So, carrying an expensive brick at the moment and hoping for an iOS update that will resolve this.

Any solutions yet?

Its an IMEI issue. In my case, about a year ago, after originally purchasing my iP4 from AT&T store, I had a prox. sensor issue. Went to the Apple Store, they replaced the phone. Here is where it all stems from. The IMEI of the new phone was never updated in AT&T/Carriers systems. For iOS updates prior to iOS5, this was not an issue. My phone did its iOS updates along the way with no probs. However, when I updated to iOS5, the firmware did not match the IMEI with what AT&T/carrier had. When I went to Apple Store for the issue about 3 days ago and was given a new phone....again....the new phones IMEI was never updated with AT&T/carrier. I then again attempted the upgrade to iOS5 with the new phone and iOS5 bricked that one also. Today, at the store, we tried 3 replacements with same outcome.
So, after 4 hours and 3 replacement phones with Apple Store Tech (BTW totally gobsmacked), we solved the issue. Luckily, due to iPhone 4S launch, there was an AT&T guy there with a computer tied to the AT&T network to work along with us. The issue is......once the IMEI's on carrier account and phone do not match, iOS5 shuts down the sim card reader within phone.....forever. How to reverse this?......this is a question Apple needs to come up with, because with my case, they have 5 "bricked" phones.
What solved the issue was to get a new phone with iOS4.3.5, new SIM from carrier/AT&T, have carrier/AT&T (in their system) change/match the IMEI to the new phone and activate new SIM. Then, do iOS5 upgrade.
Simple and makes total sense..........however........there is an internal firmware (Apple Security??) issue that bricks the phone once IMEI's dont match.
I am now on iOS5.....no problems......so far. Good luck to all others.

3gs no service after updating to ios 5 tried network reset, reset all settings and even restoring from back been with out phone for 3 weeks now need help telus cant find network problem and apple has bad customer support please help!!!

my 3gs has no service after updating from ios 5 tried resetting network settings, resetting all settings and restoring from back up on itunes.
telus cant find any network problems and apple is difficult to deal with.please help 3 weeks with no phone and $70 a month not happy.

I have been having a similar problem for the last few days.Without warning the signal will just completely duck out leaving the device searching for several minutes before settling on a no signal message.
Sometimes restarting the device, toggling data and 3g settings or toggling Airplane Mode will set things right. However, a lot of the time I've been left without a working phone.
I don't believe this is a SIM issue, as I had to change my SIM only one month ago for another signal related problem. Again any help would be appreciated here as well.

HT6154 After updating to IOS 7.1 my battery life has gone bezerk.

After updating to IOS 7.1 my battery life has gone bezerk. I just finished a 6 minute call with my bank and the battery life went from 93%-23%???? Then i pkugged it into the charger and the battery insicator went right to 48%. Found this article and followed it to the T to no avail.:
Guide to Solving iOS Battery Drain http://iClarified.com/39722
Please I cannot think of a better phone to use, and this is where apple will make or break me.

Please be more specific. What have you tried already? Please follow the below steps as described also in another topic by Nathan.
1. Hard reset hold both buttons until Apple logo appears.
2. Restore from an iTunes sync and backup. This made a difference for a lot of peopel, battery life got much better.
3. Limit push notifications (apps and e-mail accounts - set e.g. e-mail to fetch once an hour) to those you really need.
4. Limit location services to those you really need, and watch to see if the indicator comes up.
5. Get the app System Activity Monitor to look for a runaway process that is using a lot of CPU.
6. Suggestion by others to reset all settings.
7. Suggestion by others that iCloud may be involved, and to try to turn off some iCloud settings.
8. Limit or turn off 'background app refresh'.
9. Add apps back in carefully to identify an offending app that is causing CPU or network activity that kills battery life.
10 Also make sure that e-mail is fetched (e.g. every hour) or set to manual instead of pushed.
11 Do you have a good carrier reception? Have you tried to manual set your carrier within your iPhone instead of the 'automatic'?
12 Have you checked if the timezone is set to manual instead of automatic and see if this makes a difference in battery use?
In my case it was a bug with an app that caused the battery drain. I also noticed that the use and stand-by time were exactly the same which is ofcourse not correct. This was all caused by this app which was using GPS tracking all the time. Unfortunately an app such as System Activity Monitor did not indicate that in my case but someone posted this solution on a Dutch forum that the previous version of the app 'Scoupy' had a bug and caused this battery drain.
If you haven't tried every single one of these, please do not post that battery life is terrible.

After updating to iOS 7 for my iPhone 5, my phone is now in constant vibrate mode.

After updating to iOS 7 for my iPhone 5 last week, my sounds went away. Phone is randomly showing the ringer silent graphic without me touching the phone or putting it into this mode. The volume settings under sounds are on, notifications are all correct also, the vibrate switch on the side is NOT in the vibrate position. After pouring over threads for the past week, one suggestion fixed it for a day, but it's now reverted back to vibrate only mode! I went to settings----general-----accessibility----under hearing switched mono audio off, like I said, fixed the problem for a day, but now that no longer works! It really seems to be a bug with the software update, which the the 7.0.3 did not fix. Help, would like my phone to work normally again. Suggestions?

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.

Also, I noticed that going to the settings section is disabled service "Find iPhone".
To get to the point tinctures "Messages" and "FaceTime" takes a few minutes.

Wifi doesnt work on iphone 4s after updating to ios 8.02. How do i fix this?

The wifi doesn't work on my iphone 4s after updating to ios 8.02. How do i fix this?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this did not work, and to rule out a software issue, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

If still no luck, this might be a hardware problem and the phone has to be checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple:

After Updating to iOS 7.0.4, Dictation Is Barely Working Again!

Well, after updating to iOS 7.0.4 today, dictation is barely working again!
After the previous problems with Dictation were fixed with 7.0.3, it was working really well for the last few weeks, but for some reason, it seems the new 7.0.4 update has messed it up again. Is anyone else experiencing this? Can this be reported to Apple somehow so maybe it can be fixed without having to wait as long as we had to wait last time?

call apple support, they typically provide free support within the first 28 days or so with any new update
