My iPhone 4 has been stuck searching for signal.

I have had the SIM card replaced twice by AT&T already. It seems to work for a few days and then if I go without service for more than 30 mins my phone gets stuck. I really need help.

What user troubleshooting have you done on the phone itself? User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. See this troubleshooting link http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/troubleshooting/ or you can use the User Guide.

  • I'm using Dropbox on my iPhone 4 and tried downloading a long video. It just stopped and has been "stuck" there for over a month.

    I tried downloading a rather long video from my iPhone 4 to Dropbox. It started to download, but then stopped. It has been "stuck" for over a month. The video shows up in my Dropbox folder as still downloading, but it is grayed out so I can't even delete it or access it all. My phone shows a notification on the Dropbox app and when I open it, the indicator on my phone shows it's trying to download something but it doesn't complete it.
    I've tried turning my phone off and on, but it's still in the "stuck" mode in my Dropbox folder. The video doesn't show up in any of my other Dropbox locations.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks, Diane

    Delete and re-download the Dropbox app. You will have to sign in again and adjust app settings.

  • Has the easily scratchable backing on the iphone 5 has been sorted out for the 5S?

    Does anyone know if the scratchgate issue has been sorted out for the 5S? Im thinking of getting the black one. Also the Apple site doesnt really give a good feel of what the leather cases will look like - anyone know any better sites?
    What other issues with the iphone5 were there that should have been taken care of in 5S? over heating, battery, etc
    Also,
    I have an iphone 4 - I havent updated the ios software since version 5 I think. If I back up my phone and when the new 5S comes out I restore it onto that will it mess up my contacts, messages, apps etc? Or is there an easier way to transfer the settings and everything as it is on my current phone to the new 5S? Since its a nee OS I wondered whether the apps may end up in different folders etc.
    Thanks guys.

    No one here has gotten their hands on a 5S or 5C as they have not been released yet.

  • Mountain Lion Reinstall has been stuck here for hours?

    I decided to reinstall mountain look because my (mid-2009 MacBook Pro) has been a little sluggish. I erased the hard drive from recovery and started the reinstall. The installer said it would be at least 8 hours so I let it go over night. This morning when I woke up the installer was stuck on "Downloading additional components. Your computer will restart automatically." But the blue install bar is full (all blue) and the time says 14 hours and 36 minutes remaining. The computer itself is not frozen (there is no beach ball) what should I do? Thanks

  • My iPhone 3gs is lagging and searching for signal all the time. Help!!

    Well, my phones like 3 years old...and latley it's been lagging, turning it's self off, not sending my messages, when I call other people it doesn't go through, and if it does they can barly hear me. I thought it was my sim card so I got a new one and it's not. Then My phone is almost always looking for signal evem in places I always have it. Which needless to say is draining my battery pretty bad. If anyone has any information on what I can do please help. I'm getting a new Iphone when the new one comes out, but i just want help on how to make this one useful for now.

    Try restore your phone back to factory setting through itunes. if that doesnt work or even before that call your service provider since they provide the network they will have some steps to try. if those fall then its hardware most likely

    Help plese.

    You need to be more specific. What system? How did you download? anyway, if it takes that long, just stasrt over. Something is wrong. Or use a manual download and extract it with a packer tool like WinZip or WinRar.
