After one month of fine usage, my iPhone cannot connect to or recognize any cellular network.

After one month of using iPhone 4s w/o any problems, it started to go off and on from cellular network. Now it is only "Searching..." for networks unable to connect. When I switch off "automatic carriers" it's the same. I already tried to swith off/on airplane mode and device but w/o success. Help, please...

I too are experiencing the same problem on a 8gig 3G Telstra Australia iPhone that was bought outright. I also have another (same) iPhone and the settings on both are identical yet the new phone refuses to connect. I have tried a few ideas/suggestions including: settings, general, network, cellular data network and changing it from telstra.iph to telstra.internet. this works but I think something is wrong because to .iph refers to iPhone (I have switched it back until to confirm with telstra about this).
I have also tried settings, reset, reset network settings but this did not help but has worked for others.
I have also tried turning off the unit and taking out the sim card and restarting the iPhone but again no luck yet.
I plan to speak to both Telstra and Apple to see if this problem has a simple solution and will post a new thread titled "solution to cellular network problems".
Personally by all the trials and errors so far I believe it is a carrier problem and having to re-enter the pin on this phone everytime I re-boot it suggests it could be sim card related.

    iPhone 5s replaced after one month at apple store. They started restore and it is still restoring after 24 hours. What can I do?

    If you feel the restore process is not progressing, all you can do is stop it and try again.  To stop the restore, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tap Stop Restoring iPhone at the bottom.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

    Hello Komanaut and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with your email.
    To clarify, are the emails deleted off your device and your email account on the computer? Or just on your device? 
    Thanks!

  • IPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?

    iPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?
    should I bring it to apple ?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
    Replacing or even suggesting replacing hardware without doing basic troubleshooting first is not very smart.
    If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take it to Apple for evaluation.  There is no obligation to pay for anything, the evaluation is free.

  • 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.

  • After downloading IOS 8.0.2 I can not connect to the internet, any solutions?

    After downloading IOS 8.0.2 I can not connect to the internet, any solutions?

    It is not the wording but the lack of detail.
    The iPhone connects to both the phone network (3G, LTE, etc) and to WiFi networks.  Which one (or both) are you having issues with?
    If it is the phone network, go to Settings->Cellular and see if Cellular data is turned on globally AND for the apps you wish to use.
    If it is a WiFi network, go to Settings->Wi-Fi and see if you are connected to a network.  If so, touch the circled "i" next to the network name and see that you have a valid IP address, etc. (take a screen shot and post it if you don't know what to look for).

    If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

    I had an app which disables an iPhone to connect to the internet via mobile network. In the meantime I have deleted that app but it still affects my phone. For example iPhone shows that 3G sign on the top (next to the time) but it is unable to open any website. Is there anything I can do about it?

    What was the app you are referring to? I'm not aware of anything on the app store that is designed to do that, unless you're talking about an app that was causing a problem...
    Was/is your phone jailbroken?

  • HT201320 having problems setting up email for a tiscali email address - after trying to verify ipda comes up saying cannot connect using SSL

    trying to set up my tiscali email address on an ipad mini, after trying to verify, message comes up stating "cannot connect using SSL"

    Not sure what the shortcut is. I'm just going, Settings > Mail > Add Account > Gmail
    That is the GMail shortcut. That should work. Just for testing, use the "Other" shortcut.
    Settings / Mail / Add Account / Other
    Name: <put your name>
    Email [email protected]
    Incoming server: pop.gmail.com
    Login: [email protected]
    Password: yourpassword
    Outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com
    Login: [email protected]
    Password: yourpassword
    Hit SAVE.
    It should set itself up correctly without you having to specify anything else. Try that.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • IPhone 3G is now super slow after 10 months or so usage??

    My 3G phone has been working fine for about 10 months, but within the last months or so it has gone into slow motion, and I do mean SLOW motion.
    Examples
    1. Sending a picture, click on the "Email Photo" button, it takes about 15 seconds just to bring up the Email with image, then when I try to type in To: address it stays on the first letter I type for about 35 seconds (letter enlarges but just stays there) - this used to be instantaneous.
    2. Messages, press the message icon and it takes a good 10-15 seconds before I see a list of people who I've messaged (this used to be 1-2 seconds).
    3. Press on the iPod icon and again another 10-20 seconds before I see my playlists. Again, this used to take 1-2 seconds.
    Now my iPhone never used to be like this, it was pretty fast for the first 10 months of usage. I haven't loaded any new apps (in fact I'm only at 2GB mem usage out of 8GB) and it's upto date with latest firmware and software. Doesn't seem to matter if I use wireless or 3G connection, nor if I have it plugged in or not.
    I'm about ready to toss this phone out the window and go with something other than an iPhone. Is there any diagnostics I can run on my iPhone to try to figure out why it's gone into slow motion mode??
    I've seen these types of problems happen with SSD drives where the MLC NAND flash starts to get flakey with no TRIM support (especially MLC) causing performance to radically drop off -- this is exactly what it feels like in my iPhone. Considering my 3G iPhone uses Samsung's 65nm 8GB MLC NAND flash which has been known to exhibit this problem over time, that's my guess as to why my iPhone has started to slow down.
    I know several friends who are also running into identical "slow down" problems and they're in the same boat, toss the iPhone and go with a phone that uses better quality (real longer life) MLC or SLC NAND.
    I know Apple aren't going to admit to anything unless enough people complain, so I was wondering how many other folks have run into this "mysterious slow down" problem after 10 months of iPhone usage?
    Rob.

    Hi Lawrence,
    I've done the "RESET" Power down and Power up. Haven't done a reset and restore yet. The Reset seems to have worked for now, but what seems to happen is that after using Safari for a while it will start to slow down again until I do another Reset.
    Guess I'll just keep doing a reset once a day, but definitely not optimal way to use my iPhone. Apple break something in one of their updates that would cause this? Any diagnostic tools for the iPhone that might show me memory usage/processing etc. etc.
    Thanks, Rob.
