IPhone 4 service issues

So my iPhone 4 CDMA has a weird service problem. 90% of the time it has either no service and is searching or has 1 bar. It does however always have good service in 2 places, my bedroom (nowhere else in the house) and at work. Wifi works fine and it isn't that I am just living my life in dead service spots. If I am holding another iPhone 4 CDMA literally identical it will have great signal and mine 1 or no bars. My theory- I had my screen replaced (thus voiding my warranty) and this all started soon after. Did the techy do something wrong? Am I just missing a screw or something? I don't get how or why signal is great in 2 places and non existent in others. Please help me, I am a tech savy user as well so I know my way around the phone pretty well but this has got me stumped.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
Oh and I'm running iOS 5.1 and have Verizon

Do you or anyone have an idea of what it could be specifically that I'm missing or that is unhooked? Like I said I know my way around it pretty well. I could have done the screen my self except a family member took it for me as a surprise gift. I'm having trouble diagnosing what it actually is. I feel it maybe a ground issue. I've check and cleaned a few connections but no improvement. I don't think it's the actual antenna because it works sometimes.

No service issue and poor battary life on iphone 5?!?!?!?!?1

cmon Apple./I have had my iphone 5 for over a month and keep getting this no service issue,..,the battary is terrible,.wont even last 8 hours with light browsing and I ahve used all the battary saving tricks,.I dont ask for much from this expensive gadget,.I just use it to text call and look at the net,.all three of which I have had problems with from day one!!!!! My iphone 3gs which I had for 3 years never gave me one problem?I have read countless threads on this issue,.please can you sort it out of help or offer a refund,.I am actually wanting to go back to my 3gs its got so bad and I am tired of reading all day to find a solution,.Apple used to just work!!what happened?

Went to apple again. Same problem. Drains 5% an hour on standby with everything shut and airplane mode. They said this is "normal" and REFUSED to replace my phone as the battery health was normal. They say, "The hardware is ok, so we cannot replace the phone". I had them do a full restore from recovery mode. DId not help.
Just to reiterate. I have done EVERYTHING- restore, full restore, shut apps, turned of location services, wifi, network, push mail, BG app refresh and reduced motion and set auto-lock to 1 min. Even auto-brightness is off and screen is at 30% brightness.
Now I am stuck. Poor battery and uncompramising apple. This is perhaps making me anti-apple from an apple fan.
Just wanted to ask, are such usage times and standby times normal? They are much less than what apple claims.

IPhone 5 No Service Issue

I posted this in the ATT forums but haven’t heard back. Thought I would give it a shot here.
Short story – has anyone with an iPhone 5 had “No Service” issues with ATT and been able to fix it?
Long story – A couple of months ago they upgraded the towers to LTE and now the service is horrible. Whenever my phone switches between LTE, 4G, and E it goes No Service first. It is constantly switching so I cannot complete a phone call lasting longer than a minute. It will also sit in No Service for extended periods since the tower upgrade. I am the only one in the house with an iPhone 5. The other phones are not experiencing this issue.
Has anyone had a similar problem? How did you fix it?
I have called multiple times. I have emailed. I have chatted. I have received no help on this issue. A member of my family plan called them yesterday about this issue. They said they would call me back on her phone at 7 to troubleshoot my phone. They never did call.
Additionally, I have other problems since the “upgrades.” The data usage is way off. I have used a data counter and ATT is claiming I’m using considerably more than my counter shows. I have tried to get credits for this but they say we will give you credits after we fix the phone. They never fix the phone though so I never get the credits. It’s like some weird Kafkaesque Catch-22.
I am really so sick of the whole situation that I just want to switch to a different carrier. I don’t want the cancellation fees though and I want to port my numbers. I would think I wouldn’t be subjected to the fees because the service doesn’t work, but I’m sure there is some weird catch to that as well.
Thanks for any help

Since you didn't tell what troubleshooting steps you took, if any, do the followning steps:
1. Reset phone (no data loss): press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. Replace SIM card from AT&T
4. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
6. Warranty service from Apple.

No Service issue even after Iphone Restore

Hi,
I am getting No Service issue on my iPhone 4s. So I restored it in recovery mode by connecting to iTunes. However, there was no luck, the problem persist. Now, I am suspecting that this could be the hardware issue.
My main concern is, 3 years earlier, I bought this device in US and I am in India now. Also the device is out for warranty. I am not sure how do I connect to US support and get this thing repaired or replaced.
Anybody who had done this before?
Regards,
jay

Thanks for reply Lyssa,
Yes, the phone unlocked by the carrier before you relocated to India. And I contacted the carrier in India, they replaced my SIM and its working fine with other phone. However with same SIM I am getting No Service on my iPhone.

i updated my iphone 4 from ios 4.3 to IOS 6.0.1 but now i am facing no service issue reset network settings and hard reset didnot work plz any body help

This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
If this is the case... Then...
Sorry... But...
The discussion of Jailbroken Devices is against the Terms of Use of this Forum.
You will need to look elsewhere.

"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.

Searching... No service issue west Michigan???

I am in west Michigan and having the same searching, no signal issues only at home at or thru the night. I can always turn off and back on and get a signal temporarily. When I leave home in the morning and head to the lakeshore I have no problems. Have spent hours with both Verizon and apple, after reading thru all of these forums it looks like it is being addressed but as of now 8-2-11 it still is not working. Very frustrated . This iPhone has worked perfectly since feb, it started acting up a week or 2 ago that I noticed.

I just got back from my weekly travels.. I left Holland, MI on Tuesday, drove thru Chicago all the way up to Northern Wisconsin. Drove back home thru the UP down 131 South thru Grand Rapids. Not once during my entire trip did I encounter service issues until I returned back to Grand Rapids. As soon as I went hit downtown GR my phone started searching for service. After 5 reboots and driving back to my home in Holland I was able to once again get and retain service.
This is definitely a issue with West Michigan... Come on Verizon... Get it fixed... I can have service in the North Country of Wisconsin, and in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan, but NOT IN GRAND RAPIDS(the 2nd largest city in the state).... FRUSTRATED...

Apps Don't Always Load - Phone or Service Issue?

I have the iPhone 4S (AT&T as my provider) and awhile back when I did the software update iOS 5.1.1, I am now running on 4G. Now, I've heard many things about 4G - that it doesn't make your phone load any faster, it's not really 4G, etc. However; even with full bars when I try and run my apps (i.e. Instagram. FaceBook, games, basically anything require an Internet connection), it often "times" out and cannot load the app. I also have trouble sending and receiving e-mails, and text messaging as well as with Safari. I have had to turn off iMessaging because it always fails to send. I'll get error messages saying my connection has timed out, cannot refresh feed, server cannot be reached.. Obviously when I am connected through Wi-Fi, I have no issues but when I am only connected through 4G/Edge. Has anyone ever encountered this problem? Is this a service issue with AT&T or is it my phone that I will need to bring in to Apple to have them check out?

Thanks for the suggestion, and I realized I forgot to include that I have tried exactly that! I've tried to reset my phone as well as restore it to factory setting hoping there was some glitch and it'd be gone by doing the reboot but nope. It's just frustrating because I can see I have good signal yet my phone isn't working like it should be. Plus, it's not like having the iPhone is cheap!

That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off

Support for iPhone servicing/replacement overseas?

Hi,
I'm at an odd case here, and talkign to the AppleCare CSRs in both North America and here in Germany (ended up talking to someone in Hungary and someone in India on the phone...) they weren't all that sure how to help me.
Purchased my iPhone4 with AT&T about 8.5mth ago (so still under Apple Limited Warrenty) but my phone is officially dead:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15277621#15277621
No response to hard boot, recovery mode, DFU mode, plugging into iTunes or plugging into AC power.
AppleCare suggested a replacement, but two problems:
First: They were unsure that if I was able to bring it into an AppleStore in Germany (none of which are remotely close to me...) if the would replace it and
Second: If they did replace it, I was told it would then 'be locked to German providers'
Question 1: Has anyone had luck getting their iPhones serviced away from their purchasing country?
Question 2: I'm confused about the 'locked to German providers' comment... iPhones sold in AppleStores in Germany are sold unlocked... Would they lock mine to a provider on purpose? Or is the unlocking not handled by the AppleStore... I'm not too familiar with the process because it's impossible in the US. Honestly I dont care about unlocked or not right now... I just want to be able to use it!
Any advice would be great! Thanks

If you purhcased the iphone in U.S and is roaming in Germany. You will have to take it back to U.S and get it replaced from there. Warranty is only valid where it was purchased. If you have a friend or relative in U.S, send the phone to them, have them take it to the apple store and replace the phone and send it back. How are you managing to roam internationally? Surely it's not cheap.

HT204053 Can I set up icloud services on multiple iphones under a single account? More specifically, can I use- find my iphone services -under one account?

Can I use Find My iphone service with multiple iphones under one account? I have 4 iphones in my family and I want to monitor all phones by logging into one account!

You can create and use different iCloud accounts on the same computer, whether they are single or multiple user.
There is a limit of 3 accounts you can create from a device but I thought this was only iOS devices - maybe not.
iCloud accounts can only be created using a valid email address, so I guess I'd start there to retrace what accounts you have.
My Apple ID and iForgot.com may be useful sites for you.

User status for Service Issue{for particular Sales order} in CRM

Hi Experts,
I've an issue related to the User status in CRM.
I've a Sales Order and I'm creating a service issue for it in CRM.
For the service issue number has some user status and I want to know from where it is coming.
Is there any configuration involved in it, or is it coming from the standard coding part.
Please let me know how to find the user status for a service issue.
Thanks
Subbu

Thank you PePe,
I'm asking about the user status not the system status.
The user status has only the values{open, worked & closed}.
now for a service issue if it is rejected then the user status are automatically changed into "Closed".
So if you have any idea in this please help me.
thanks
Subbu

Service issue

am emailing because I am appalled at the lack of customer service that was provided for me today when I called your 800 number. I called today to speak to someone about an iPad purchase that I wanted to make and I was trying to resolve very basic issues with dropped calls and choppy service. I spoke to a total of five different representatives none of them knew why I was being transferred to them, no notes on the account were being made until I spoke to the last customer service representative. After a total of two hours and eight minutes I was given a $75 credit or compensation for being on the phone. I do not think that it is fair for AT&T as a company to be mistreating your customers this way. My time was not respected! I was NOT treated like a valued customer. I think it's unfair and unexceptabel. I have 3 children under the age of six that I had to neglect for a full two hours so I could be played hot potato with by your representatives. Please direct me to someone who will help. Below
