My iphone 4 says no service and keeps turning off

I was using my phone and it just stopped and stated no connection in the top left corner. Then it said i needed to activate my phone. Now its at 1% battery when it previous was at 80% and it keeps cutting on and off. One minute I have service and then it switches to no service and reactivate it. It has been doing this for the past 5 minutes.What should I do?

Hi i have noticed same problem today , I connected to Itunes yesterday night and since today morning I have experiencing " NO Service" problem. if I restart the phone it works for sometime, then goes back to "no service" mode. I changed my location took the phone for a drive, didnt help. most of the time it goes into "no service" mode as soon as I disconnect a call. I am in UK on Vodafone network. I did factory resetting and loaded my back up. It worked for few hours then back to same situation. any pointers?

  • IPhone 3gs says no service and cannot activate it.

    I am trying to activate my iPhone 3gs and it says 'No Service' and when connected to iTunes it says that there is no sim card installed. I think it is on i.o.s 5 but not entirely sure as i bought it off of eBay and fixed it.
    When i try to activate it on wi-fi it says the activation server is currently down.
    Thanks for any advice you could give me on how to get it working

    Here's what you do
    1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
    2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
         a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
         b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
         c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
    3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
    4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
    5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
    6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
    You're welcome

    How to: Force your iDevice into recovery mode.
    1. Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    2. Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    3. Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    4. iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."

    5. Use iTunes to restore your device.
    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.

  • Sidebar - How to turn off and keep turned off?

    I cannot seem to find a way to turn off Sidebar for good, so that it will not reappear after a "repair permissions" or sometimes after "restart". Is there a way to get rid of Sidebar for good. Please advise. Thank you.

    Not in Leopard. Time to move to Snow Leopard, which gives you that option.

  • Nokia Asha 200, keeps turning OFF

    Hello everybody,
    I have serious problems with my nokia phone, asha 200 ...
    it's happened some bugs and people say to me that an upgrade will can solve this bug, so i did my asha 200 upgrade to 11.56, then bugs continued and after few days, my phone swicth off and keeps turning off.
    I want to precise that i have a new asha 200, who is around 3-4 months old.
    Thank to your in advance for your replies :-)

    Further to the post by adrianhughes , Remove the SIM and Memory Card and switch the phone ON. Check if the problem remains. If the phone remains ON without any issues, insert the SIM and the MC but one at a time. If the problem reappears with the SIM inserted, you may get the SIM replaced thru' your Operator. Most Operators do that for Free. If the problem comes back when you insert the MC, back-up its content on the PC and Format the MC. Then try again ..

  • I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM

    I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

    I have just created this account to tell you that nothing would change if you restored your phone.
    The first NO SIM nuisance happened just a week ago. Nothing had been done to the phone before that. I pressed HOME + POWER buttons to restart the phone and SIM card was successfully recognized as if nothing had happened. Then I had a lucky week, not reminded of this issue at all.
    Today, however, the same problem keeps annoying me. I've used the same method to heal the phone but all I have done seems more like a placebo. So I tried the ultimate solution, restroing it in iTunes.
    Ridicuously, the moment I finished basic setup on the newly restored phone, the same NO SIM CARD INSTALLED message poped up.
    So IMO, it's not what you should do to erase and restore your phone.
    Plus, I called my native carrier and they said no such problems have been submitted. And since my nano SIM card is quite new (three months old), I'm not going to replace it.
    I googled this problem and found something on a Hong Kong webpage. The author of that thread points out that there is a flaw in the SIM card tray that prevents the phone from successfully recognizing SIM cards.
    And I really hope Apple could probe into this issue and give official solutions other than restarting / restoring the phone like an idiot.

  • Hello! I want to sell my iphone 3g because i have 3gs- i cleared the info in settings and now have black screen saying no service and usb port pointing to itunes - is that all i do ?

    Hello! I want to sell my iphone 3g because i have 3gs- i cleared the info in settings and now have black screen saying no service and usb port pointing to itunes - is that all i do ? i am pretty ignorant of computers- lol- i had read that i need to plug it back into itunes to verify it has all cleared out- i want to sell it on craigs list or ebay- i am really hurting for money right now- all your answers appreciated...

    It needs to be restored by someone. You can do it, and set it up as a new phone, or the buyer can do it.

  • O2UK: Why is my iPhone constantly picking up service, and then saying 'No Service' or 'Searching'?!

    My iPhone 3GS searches for signal, gets some signal then it drops out and says no-service and then starts searching again.. it worked fine yesterday.. and this morning only since i got to work has it stopped. I've even walked down to the local shop to try and get signal so its not the building i'm in. My partner has the same phone with the same carrier (O2) and has no problem.
    I am on O2 Simplicity, just upgraded from a blackberry.. at this rate looks like im going to have to go back to it beacuse i cannot use this phone like this..
    I will go to the applestore tomorrow.

    Maybe you are currently in an area of low signal? Or inside a thick-walled building?
    In my work office my phone does this as they have some tin-foil type insulation which the phone signals can't penetrate well.
