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 apps

Hi 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.

  • 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.

  • When starting up iPhone 4S, searching for service for 2 mins

    When I reboot or start up my iPhone 4S.  It says searching, for about 2 mins then AT&T 3G comes on after the LONG wait.  ANyone else experiencing this?

    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 was about to send my phone back until I found this thread, at least now I know it's not just me it's an issue for

  • 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

  • 4s says 'searching' for signal after battery died

    hi all my battery died last night so when i got home i plugged in the charger and turned it on but wouldnt for about 5mins, when it did turn on it kept searching for signal but couldnt pick any up, kept turning it off and on and resetin it and then eventually 2 bars came up but wouldnt send txt msgs but when i phone my 4s from another phone it seems to be ringing but the 4s is not ringing.... help

    You need to take it apart again and re-attach the antenna. This happened when I replaced the screen on my iPhone 4. If you had someone else do it, make them fix it for free. There is a plug that you have to plug in, and it was probably not plugged in properly.

  • IPhone 4S not recognized/charging after iOS 6.0.1 update

    Hi,
    I've upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 6.0.1 when the updates became available on my handset and everything seems to work fine until I plugged it into my iMac for some late-night development with XCode. It wasn't recognized/charging at all. At first, I thought the connector cable was faulty, but using the provided Apple charger and the same cable, charging was working....
    This morning, when arriving at work, I upgraded an iPhone 4 (the previous generation) to iOS 6.0.1 and plugged it into my work iMac: Same issue.
    It seems that upgrading the iOS version to 6.0.1 disable synching/charging on my iMac.
    Verified on:
    - iPhone 4 + iMac 27in Mid-2010 running Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    - iPhone 4S + iMac 27in Mid-2010 running Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    I have no iPhone 5 available yet, so I cannot verify it, but it seems that something is amiss.
    Beware of iOS 6.0.1!

    Let's do a little recap:
    - Do not detect in iTunes/XCode on my iMac Mid-2010 running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (Both 4 and 4S)
    - Do not charge when plugged-in on my iMac Mid-2010 running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (Both 4 and 4S)
    - Soft Reset from the phone does not work (Only tried on iPhone 4)
    - Hard-Reset from the phone does not work (Only tried on iPhone 4)
    - DFU Mode will not trigger the iTunes. (Only tried on iPhone 4)
    Perhaps it is not widespread, but it is annoying. Especially when the iPhone 4 is my work phone and I need it to deploy/test my App before submitting to the App Store!

  • Help!!! iphone 5 rear camera blurry after iOS 7.0.6 update.

    Help!!!! I just updated my iPhone 5 software to iOS 7.0.6. I realized that my rear camera became blurry. It won't focus even if I tap in the middle. There are no physical problems with the camera itself. I checked. Plus the camera is quite fine when the object is near but it can't focus on objects 2 feet away. What should I do?

    If the issue reappears, try the same steps.  Also, you can try restoring as a new device: iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    If the wi-fi remains greyed out, your device needs service.
    If within warranty, it should be free.
    If not, it will probably cost $199 USD + tax.

  • HT201210 My iphone 4 crashed after iOS 7.1.1 update

    My iphone 4 (7.1) crashed after iOS 7.1.1 update. iTunes is unable to recover it. Has anyone encountered similar issues?

    Hello Rajesh,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with you iPhone repeatedly becoming unresponsive.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing):
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

  • HT1414 my iphone 4 turns on but cannot make calls or send texts because it is "searching" for service it says to connect to itunes but when  connect it to my itunes it doesnt pop up and i need my phone to work 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-
