Iphone 5 GSM frequently search for provider, this after update ios 8.1

I update my Iphone 5 via backup and complete new install. Now the Iphone frequently is searching for a provider. Plz help?

hi Franxis . . . below is what I had to do . . . I believe that my crashing, perpetual rebooting and reset loops was due to some combination of my iPhone 5's hardware, iOS 8.1.1, and some applications.
I upgraded to iOS 8.1.1 upon release. approx. 10 hours after this upgrade, the iPhone 5 displayed a bright white screen. tried hard reset & phone would not turn on. iPhone eventually turned on, to display lines & colors, but iPhone was inoperable - would not reset using sleep / home key combination or connection to iTunes
I brought my iPhone to the Retail Store - RS was able to reset phone, and then began the process of restoring from my last backup there & said it would continue throughout the day. After the restore from backup completed, the crashing, perpetual rebooting and reset loops started again.
1. I was eventually able to perform a DFU & installed the phone as new (factory reset, I believe).
2. I did NOT perform a restore from backup.
3. The phone seems to run fine now
The long story is that days 1-3, after the DFU / factory reset, the phone ran fine. And, on day 4, I began installing Apps again. When I installed the fourth App, and the phone crashed, changing colors, perpetually rebooting, and unable to start / get into a functional mode. On day 4, I had to leave the phone alone for a while - was eventually able to perform another DFU - factory reset - and again no restore from backup. Today - day 5 - my iPhone is running fine again and I installed 11 Apps now (not the one that crashed my iPhone), accessed them all, and phone seems fine.
For me, it seems like an App, or some Apps that I was running caused the issues for me - it could be a combination of everything (certain Apps + iOS 8.1.1 + hardware not getting along).

IPhone 5 with ipodcable/30pins adapter not working after update IOS 7

IPhone 4 (GSM) shuts down at 100% battery after updating to iOS 7.0.4

I have recently updated to iOS 7 now that is seems all the kinks have been fixed.. It was on the last iOS 6 update for the iPhone 4 which I believe to be 6.1.3.
Now everytime it is unpluged for a charger (usb or mains power) It dies pretty much instantly.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
Turning Brightness down
Disabling features such as Wi-Fi etc
Using Airplane Mode
Restored & Backed up iOS 7.0.4
FULL Restore, keeping it as a new fresh iPhone
Still no luck.. is there anything that can be done? It just seems REALLY conisidental that my iPhone would decide to stop working as soon as I updated to iOS7. Thanks.

Lost music on 4th gen for third time after updating iOS 6.0.1/iTunes?

Hello,
I have a 4th gen Touch that has worked perfectly until I updated to iOS 6.01 and iTunes 11.0.1 (at the same time, if that helps.)
Not 24 hours after doing so, all the music on my Touch was mysteriously gone. My apps, contacts, etc. were still fine. I wrote this off as a fluke and put everything back on. About a day and a half later, it did it again. After this, I read a thread or two and decided to restore the factory settings on the iPod to get rid of whatever this was.
That worked for a week. Yesterday, all of my music was mysteriously gone again. I'm at the last nerve with this, seeing as my iPod was perfectly fine before this.
The first time it deleted, all of my music was automatically synced. I store most of my music on an external hard drive--which is always attached, though--so I thought this could have been the issue the first time. The second and third times the music was deleted, I was manually adding music.
Does anyone have any idea what to do? Has this been an issue for anyone else? Thanks.

Only three times? You are lucky. I had this happen about 20 times since the IOS update.
When you look at your Ipod under "devices" in the sidebar, how much music is Itunes tryin to crowbar onto your device? Check out my screen cap to illustrate.
Do you lose all your playlists and podcasts on the ipod, too?
You can try unchecking music when you sync your ipod, then re checking and syncing again, but it only seems to be a band aid, and only sometimes.
I wish I could be more helpful, but I've posted several times with no results.

Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

Does the device get any signal?
Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure. If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do? Read more: My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list

My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do?

Yes, that kind of tallies with my experience ... after 3 days of useless iPhone 3G (BTW, killing 3G on the phone and relying on acquiring AT&T 2G didn't help, it still locked onto T-Mobile with the result that it was draining battery and rebooting frequently!), I ended up visiting the local Apple Store.
Although the visit was not to resolve the iPhone problem, whilst there I happened to cycle the phone and due to the store having a local AT&T cell, the strength of the local signal meant that I finally re-acquired a AT&T 3G signal ... once locked on again the phone was fine for the next day.
Nett outcome of this is that I would prefer to lay most of the blame for this debacle on the poor state of 3G support both by AT&T (and US carriers in general), maybe exacerbated in my case by two related events (the local DNC in Denver, which saturated local AT&T cells including 3G and a proliferation of v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 firmwares on iPhones in town, which dragged cell coverage into the weeds).
It would be nice for future sanity if AT&T and T-Mobile could at least resolve the ability to acquire/release the iPhone gracefully, otherwise I'll be very sceptical of travelling back to the US with only my iPhone, as a self-employeed consultant I can't afford to be out of touch for three days again!

I have iphone 6 with ios 8.1.1. The bluetooth pairs with my sony car radio and everything works fine. However, the iphone won't stop searching for other devices.

I have an iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.1 operating system. The Bluetooth pairs with my Sony car radio and works fine. However, the iPhone will not stop searching for other devices. This does not seem to affect anything, but I can't help but think it is using battery power.

One possibility:
How do you know it is searching for other devices? Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?

NO one answered me! Need help: Iphone 5 doesn't search for a signal!

Everytime I am in library, my cellphone doesn't have a signal. So my phone only gets wifi.
When I leave the library, my iPhone 5 doesn't search for a signal. It shows me "no service" until I turn on/off the airplane mode.
Then the phone starts to search for signal.
Is this my phone problem or the carrier?
Should I get a replacement?
Thank you

Try a SMC reset:

Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!
You also may want to let Apple know about this as well:

Hi razman199,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
if you continue to have issues after replacing the SIM card, you would be best to contact our Customer Care team to see if they can get the handset checked by a service agent, or simply take the handset back to the place of purchase.

After updating iOS, I only see a black screen on my iPad asking for a 4 digits passcode, I've tried severeal times and now every time I try I get this message "Ipad dissable wait 60 min... I do not know what to do???

After updating iOS 8.0, I only see a black screen on my iPad 4 asking for a 4 digits passcode, I've tried severeal times and now every time I try I get this message "Ipad dissable wait 60 min... I do not know what to do???

Howdy mendjes25,
It sounds like you’ve recently updated your iPad and now it’s disabled because the passcode you’re entering isn’t being accepted. I can imagine that would be frustrating. Take a look at the article linked below, it describes the alert you’re seeing and provides the possible resolutions for that issue.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
I hope this helps,

Can i stop airport from searching for additional networks after connecting to a network

Airport keeps searching for additional networks after connecting to my wireless router. Can I stop this? does this effect system performance?

No, it doesn't affect performance. And, it only occurs prior to connection to the desired network or when you click on the menubar icon for Airport.

My iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?

also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

While trying to access my local network I get the message..."The page could not be opened because server cannot be found." This, after updating to Yosemite and paying (again) for the server app.

It's absolutley scandalous that a company with Apple's resources can let this happen. They should have staggered the release by region rather than opening the flood gates. The upgrade itself took me about 10 attempts to download it, and then I thought I was home free. That was until it rebooted and won't activate. It's over 2 hours now.
Scandalous!
