IPhone 5S "No Service" since upgrading to iOS 8.1.3

Hi guys!
So ever since I've upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 yesterday I have not been able to get my iPhone 5S to connect to my network (Three). I have tried all the steps on Apple support website related to the issue including iPhone Restore, sadly to no avail. I have tested my SIM in a different phone (works just fine) and tested a different SIM in my phone (didn't work either), so I'm 99.9% certain the issue lies with the phone and not my service provider. The phone recognizes the carrier based on the SIM inserted so I guess it can read the SIM and it can find all networks available when you search for them manually, so the aerial is fine too. This to me screams a software issue but obviously I could be wrong. I bought the phone used and it is out of warranty so I guess Apple won't do much for me, however I find it hard to believe that the "upgrade" to the latest iOS and my phone's demise are purely coincidental. I can see this is a fairly common issue, does anyone know what the underlying cause actually is and any suggestions how to fix the thing?
Thanks

I had this issue with my iPhone5 on Verizon.  I just finished a call with Apple, here were the steps we took to correct the issue;
Connected phone to computer, opened iTunes
clicked on the phone icon in iTunes and selected Summary tab
selected Restore iPhone
When asked, selected set up as new, not from a backup.  During this process iTunes found and downloaded new carrier settings
When this restore completed I had cell signal
then restored from a backup

  • My iPad 2 keeps going into no service mode since upgrading to iOS 8.0 and the same with iOS 8.0.2

    My iPad 2 keeps going into no service mode since upgrading to iOS 8.0 and the same with iOS 8.0.2

    Hi jhatlanta, 
    I understand you are using a cellular iPad 2 and since upgrading to iOS 8 (and 8.0.2) your iPad drops the cellular connection and says, "No Service".
    So you have done step 5 in this list, but please test the other steps.
    If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad
    If you're in your carrier's coverage area
    Follow these steps, testing after each.
    Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
    Restart your device.
    Remove the SIM card. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or if it's too big or small for the SIM tray, contact your carrier for a new one. Then reinsert the SIM card.
    Check for a carrier-settings update: Connect to a Wi-Fi network, tap Settings > General > About, and install any available carrier-settings updates. If you can't connect to Wi-Fi, connect your device to a computer that has iTunes.
    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues.
    Restore your iPhone.
    Best Regards,

  • HT201077 Since upgrading to IOS 7'photos taken on my iPhone are not transferring to the cloud. Sometimes a few will up load but then nothing for weeks. Anyone else had this problem

    Since upgrading to IOS 7 the photographs I take on my iPhone 4S do not transfer to the cloud. Sometimes one or two of them transfer but then none for weeks. I have deleted photos from the cloud in case it is full but to no affect. I use my iPhone in conjunction with an iPad so this is driving me mad. Anyone else have this problem?

    No you're not the only one having this problem in fact many people are having it I spoke to Apple support today about it. First it is my opinion the aspect ratio is different on iPhone 4s compared to iPhone 5s, however I really feel it is a software issue. Just to make sure I am having the same problem you are I will describe my issue. I Have confirmed the following: if I Center an object on my iPhone 4s screen and open the picture while I am still in the app (open on the bottom left it)looks fine. But when I open camera roll and open that particular picture it's also fine
    Until I scroll left or right it pulls the image to the left side appearing to cut off the left side of the image. After talking to Apple support today and my knowledge with Apple products I strongly suspect this is a software issue. Apple asked me to do a restore as a new phone but I'm not going to go through all that nonsense when I believe it's a software issue and not a hardware issue. So again to recap to answer your question you're not alone, theses sort of things are expected when they rollout a new iOS just hang in there and let's see if they put a patch out for next update.

  • Since upgrading to iOS 8 , my Apple TV second gen stops playback every time my iPhone rings.  Anyone else have this happen?

    Since upgrading to iOS 8 , my Apple TV second gen stops playback every time my iPhone rings.  Anyone else have this happen?

    This is happening to me too. Couldn't figure out what was happening at first then I got a phone call and the ring came through the appletv. Playback was stopping when I would open a game or something else as well.
    I'm on a 5s with ios 8 and have an appletv 3rd Gen(it is updated too). II often airplay movies from my NAS through my iPad min and that stops when something  happens on my phone even though airplay on my phone is off.

  • Iphone 4 icalender alert settings problems since upgrading to IOS 7.1.1

    I have an iphone 4 and since updating to ios 7.1.1 my icalender alert settings automatically change from what i selected.ie I set my event alert as 1 day and second alert as 2 hours but it automatically gets reversed most of the time.

    I'm having the same issue on my iphone 4S since upgrading to IOS 7.1.
    At first I thought is was a carrier problem and I even changed my Sim card for a new one, but it didn't solve the problem.
    Then I put my sim card in another phone and it worked just fine, so I tried:
    Reset network settings,
    Reset all settings,
    Restore my phone with the previous backup,
    Restore my phone as new
    And any of these worked for me. After almost losing hope I turned off my 3g connection and the signal came back, even when I was using wi-fi. Also the battery life is a million times better.
    So I called apple support and they told me that it seams to be a hardware malfunction and because my guarantee is expired I have to pay to get it changed for a new one.
    I think they don't know what they are doing and don't know how to fix it so it's easier to blame the hardware and charge us for they mistakes.
    I'm still waiting for some update to solve my problem because before the update 7.1 I had a perfect functional phone.

  • Since upgrading to iOS 6, I cannot save or transfer photos to iPad or iPhone. Is it a glitch with the upgrade?

    Since upgrading to iOS 6, I cannot save photos to my iPhone or iPad or transfer pictures taken. Is it a glitch with the upgrade?

    Can you be a little more specific? Do you mean that when you take photos with your iPhone camera or iPad camera they are not showing up in the photo stream? Do you mean that you are trying to sync your photos to a computer and that they are not syncing? Just not sure what you are asking?

  • Iphone Games low res on iPad since upgrading to IOS 5

    Hi All,
    I noticed something very weird on my iPad 2 since upgrading to IOS 5. I have several iPhone games that I play on a regular basis and just up size them for the iPad. On IOS 4 when I started them up they intially started up in a low resolution mode but within 10 seconds or so switched to what I think was "retina display" resolution which looked WAY WAY better on the iPad. Since upgrading to IOS 5 they no longer do this. They stay in low resolution mode and look fairly bad now. I am so disappointed. Is anyone else seeing this?

    I'm seeing this same exact issue.
    I started up one of my games and it defaulted to 1x post updating to iOS 5.  When I expand it to 2x, the game looks horrible to the point where the text is almost unreadable.  While it had some pixelation prior to this, it was no where nearly as bad as it is now.
    I've been looking through Settings and so far, I've not found anything to fix this issue.  I can handle a game looking a little "off" due to the display size difference.  I can't handle it looking like it's running in 8 bit mode though.  For the money I've spent on this iPad, I am not please by this at all.

  • Since upgrading to iOS 6.1 my home button doesn't work. Is there a fix?

    Since upgrading to iOS 6.1 my home button doesn't work. Is there a fix??

    Restore your iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if fixed. If still problem and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, try Virtual Home Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibiltiy > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Home.
