Iphone 4s search for service - Verizon
My Iphone started searching for service and would not connect to the network. Verizon told me that is was not their issue and to take the phone to Apple. Bottom line Apple tried to reset the phone and now I am getting the -1 error in itunes. Apple told me the phone is broken and because its 1 1/2 years old, its out of warranty.After searching the internet, it seems to me my firmware got corrupted. The phone is not damgaed. I guess Apple does not stand behind its software/firmware. Any comments????
A firmware corruption IS damage. Therefore you phone IS damaged. And unfortunately it is out of warranty. Did you try restoring the phone as new?
Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.

IPhone says searching for service after ios 7.1.1 update! HELP!
I updated my iPhone 5c to the iOS 7.1.1 last night and didn't think I would have any problems. I went to bed and woke up this morning with my phone in the top left corner saying "Searching..." and the the wifi symbol.
I went to check my setting to see if my data was off, but when I went into the settings app and clicked the tab labed "Celluar" the app crashed and took me back to the home screen. It does this everytime I try and go into that tab! So, I have no idea what it going on with my phone! I can't make calls, send texts through my phone number (I can still send iMessages when connected to wifi), the screen glitches and moves when I go into apps, the battery life is now terrible and drains really fast. Everything about my phone was perfectly fine until I updated it to the iOS 7.1.1, so I believe something must have went wrong when it was updating.
Overall these are my main problems:
-iPhone is "Searching" for phone service (which means I have no service so no calls or texts can be sent or recieved)
-Cellular tab in settings crashes
-Battery drains over 2x faster than normal
-Screen seems to glitch or move when I open appsHi SamSam1103,
If you are having multiple issues with your iPhone after a recent update, your best course of action may be to back up your content to iTunes, restore the phone to factory settings, then test to see if the issues persist in its default config before bringing back your content from the backup.

Hi, I'm in the UK and have been experiencing the same issue. My iPhone 4 connects near enough instantly but my iPhone 4S seems to take forever. Let's hope Apple resolve this issue in the next update.

i have an iPhone 4 and it turns on but it keeps "searching" for service and it says to connect to my itunes and a support grouop but when i plug it into my laptop (and i have a toshiba not a mac) my phone doesnt even connect so i have no idea whatas going on with my phone and i need it asap!
Check your connection - Reset Network Settings - Toggle Airplane Mode -
If none of those help hard reset the phone
Hold down the Home button and the Power on/off button "at the same time"
-Screen will go black then after a few seconds you should see the Apple Logo, once you see the logo let go of both buttons. Allow the iPhone to reboot- -

Unable to make or receive phone calls; searching for service.
Last night my iPhone 4 started constantly searching for service. I would get full bars in 3G then go to searching, no service, then back to full bars. It does this constantly. My battery drained by 50% within an hour. Any call I try to make instantly drops; I can't receive phone calls (or voicemails) and I can't send or receive texts unless I'm in WiFi. This just started last night. Any help?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try this First... 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...
If you cannot Resolve your Issue... Then a Restore would be the way to go...

Samsung Note 3 Lollipop Stuck at Searching For Service...
I have terrible signal strength at work and often completely lose cell reception. Ever since I've updated my Samsung Note 3 to 5.0, whenever I completely lose cell signal for hours and I go outside, my phone will not pick up the mobile network again. It's stuck at the "Searching For Service" part. I have to restart my phone and I'm immediately back on the mobile network. On 4.4.3, it would pick back up in a few seconds once I step outside.
siyang99,
Thanks for the additional info! I can definitely understand your concern. Being able to use your phone for work is definitely important.
You mentioned the issue is only at work and the hard reset has not helped. If the issue were due to software you would experience the same issues everywhere. We are unable to guarantee service indoors because there are many factors out of control that can interfere with the signal. But I definitely want to further assist since you have been able to use your phone there before.
I checked the coverage in that area and show good coverage. What's the signal strength on your phone when at work http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-88700/? We can try replacing your SIM card to see if you notice an improvement. You can get the sim card replaced at a VZW store for free or we can order and send one out to you.

Moderator's note: The subject was edited as the post was moved to the correct board.Hi Bridgette,
Sorry to hear that. Are you seeing the "searching for service" when turning on the phone? Have you tried to remove and reinsert the back cover, battery, and the SIM of the phone? -
Everytime I want to remote my itunes from my iphone, itunes search for radio-stream updates. I often use remote when I'm not connected to Internet so itunes tell me that I should connect because the radio-stream update can't be made. This is new since 10.5. Can I turn off the search for Radio-Stream or does someone else has an Idea how to fix the problem?
weird very weird. today i did this again today after already being unsuccessful earlier. exactly the same thing as i have done before, exactly. didn't try to import. didn't say damaged library, copied everything in including date. have tried it about 10 times no luck. today it just worked.
how weird is that?

anyway, thank you for all the help.
to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.

Searching for Service Orders in the Archive in CRM 5.2
Hi,
I am trying to enable Searching for Service Orders in the Archive in CRM 5.2, in CRM 2007 this is done by a button being provided as standard and the user is able to toggle between views from the advanced search to search in the Archive. This also comes as standard in PCUI for the 5.0 version. But for the life of me I can seem to find how to do this in 5.2 without having a developer write code to enable the search in archive flag of the BTQuery1O we are using the component BT116S_SRVO.
I am trying to use the Archive Search function in SAP WebUi 2006s(5.2) to search for Business Transactions stored on the Archive fiel system.
Thanks for all your help in advance,
Kinikahi..
we are also using KO8G and settling orders through background processing. In parametres there are options for period, year etc for selection.
I could not understand ur problem. you creat a variant for orders to be settled. if you ar not getting the parameters in KO8G cosult ur ABAP consultant to get it.

My iphone says searching for network, and I don't have any sim card on it. What can I do?
I just bought a new iphone, It doesn't has any sim card putted on it, but on the left upper corner it says searching for network, and I cannot activate this.. What can I do?
ive got the same prob on my 4s i usually have to hard reboot a couple tims with no sim
steps i go through
1. turn on airplane mode
take out sim
2. hard reboot
3.turn back on then turn off airplane a couple a times if didnt work 1st time
another way that worked for me is turn on airplane mode then reset network settings and reboot with out sim in
but the longest this worked for me was maybe 3 or 4 days it a temp fix.. it just went to searching again about 5 mins ago and i used my first way to fix it, get it to say no sim and then i put sim back in. note it has to say no sim when its on the way to be working
