Network Lost - help a luddite

Hi all - my first post so apologies if I'm going over old ground.
I've kept my 3GS up to date with updates (currently 4.1), and have no problems apart from getting a "Network Lost" dialogue box now pops up whenever I lose phone signal.
is this a new phenomenon or just Vodafone's issue?
many thanks
Guy

I agree it is likely to be a network problem caused by poor Vodafone coverage. However, I think it is very poor design that the iPhone software keeps displaying the pop up window which you can not turn off. As other people have commented, it takes precedence over anything that was running at that time.
The message is of limited value as it is beyond most peoples means to rectify the problem. You should have the option of turning the message off.

How can I turn off an annoying network lost message?

Ever since the last iPhone software update I keep getting a message saying "Network Lost. Your selected mobile network is no longer available. You can choose a different network in settings." Now, I know what this means. There are only a few places in my house where you can get a mobile signal. What I don't want is my iPhone keep lighting up all times during the day and night telling me that it's lost it's signal! Apart from anything else, it uses up the battery and it wakes me up at night by the screen lighting up. How, oh how, can I stop it doing this. I lock it when I am not using it but I don't like to turn it off in case of family emergencies. I keep it by my bedside at night but lately I have to put it in my bedside drawer so it doesn't wake me. Is this a new feature of the update? If so, I hope enough people complain so they take it off. I don't need a message to tell me there is no signal. It says "No signal" across the top of the phone when there isn't one. Please someone help.

Latest update on 'Network Lost' Message. I have tried all the suggestions, ie, Setting my carrier to Automatic and resetting my Network settings but nothing works. I had a long conversation with someone at Apple this morning and he said there was no way to stop this from happening. Gutted! My husband and I went through the settings on both our iPhones earlier and discovered that he has a different software version to mine, He hasn't updated his and he never gets the message. Now I am wondering if it's possible to go back to an earlier version and if so how? Can anyone tell me please?

My 3GS iphone always go into 'network lost'!

my 3GS iphone is constantly going into network lost and 'no service'. Each time that happens, I have to go through a lengthy process of re-starting the phone which is painful! Additionally, the call drops while i am on conversation. My colleagues always complain that they cant call me the first time because the phone appears to be off but get thru after the subsequent attempts.
I checked with my service provider (Celcom) and they said there is no problem with its setting. I checked with the other service provider that I bought the phone from (Maxis) and they said that there is nothing wrong with the phone as well. I am lost.
I am a heavy user of data (I hv data unlimited package). My Yahoo msg and other online applications are turned on most of the time. I am not sure why I continue to have this problem. Recently, thinking that the service provider coverage could be bad, I changed the phone, but for a week, but I never had such problem.
Anyone faced similar problems and is there a solution for this? Thanks much

Hi newyorker2014,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue. If you are no longer seeing the app in question on your iPhone, but it is showing as purchased on the App Store, you should be able to redownload it directly. You may find the following article helpful:

Network lost problem with iPhone 4g

I have iPhone 4G. I have had nothing but problem with the network m using ( Vodafone ). I have been suffering 'Network Lost' on a very frequent basis on my iPhone(I am with 5.0.1 OS). I don't have any idea what is causing this and how to fix it ? so have had the device replaced second times. I am on my third phone. The first two replacements were made by Apple retail store. Not wanting to repeat the trip for forth time .I'm very much disappoint with apple .

Hello jebintom,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the App Store on your iPhone 4s when using the Wi-Fi network at work. I found a couple of resources that I think might help with this.
First, I recommend reviewing the section titled “Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)” in the following article and specifically step 4 of that section:
4. iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

I also recommend reviewing the following article for the recommend settings for Wi-Fi routers and access point:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Network lost - Can't make phone calls, texts etc

Please help
I have an iphone 4, and over the last week I have had a problem pop up that says "network lost" and how I need to choose another carrier. I have done all suggestions to solve it (reset the network, turn on 3G etc etc) but nothing has helped.
I'm with orange EE and not only was the signal bad before but now I have basically no phone.
To solve the issue I borrowed another iphone 4 off of a friend, and after 4 days or so of having it, on the train back from London today it began to get "No Service" and "Searching..." and now I get the same pop up?
Please can someone help me solve this, before I change my network and switch to Samsung!!!!!!!!

You can try a hard reset by holding down the home button and the lock button at the same time until the apple appears. If that doesn't work I think you should definitely go into an apple store.

Frequent Network Lost Notification after upgrade to 3.1.3

I bought my iPhone in Saudi Arabia, there isn't an Apple Store here, not really too much technical support at the service provider I bought the phone from. I updated my phone yesterday to 3.1.3 and since then, I can't go through one hour without a network lost notification. I've had signal issues earlier as well, but they weren't nearly as bad. When I'm connected to WiFi at home through my phone, there are no network issues, for hours together, as soon as I disconnect, the notification is there again. Most people complain that they can't get through to my phone when they try calling. I have been using the phone in the same places as I was before the update.
HELP!

I have this same problem and I am in America... I have random disconnects' and in my case it is WiFi disconnects. I never had them before 3.1.3.
Any possible solutions for this??

My iphone 4s is no longer detecting wifi since the ISO8 updates came out. I've restarted, rest the networks, reset the phone back to factory settings, and even tried the freezer trick. It is STILL not detecting ANY wifi networks. HELP!!!

My iphone 4s is no longer detecting wifi since the IOS8 updates came out. I've restarted, rest the networks, reset the phone back to factory settings, and even tried the freezer trick. It is STILL not detecting ANY wifi networks. HELP!!! I cannot afford to go over my data and I use wifi at home and work... I believe the updates have caused the issue, because it was working fine before the second update released (I hadn't put the first one one until I noticed it had stopped working, and by then the second IOS8 version had came out). They need to do a third update to fix this issue.

If it's grayed out:
Reset Network Settings - if that doesn't fix it, then Backup and Restore AS A NEW DEVICE.
If it's still grayed out, unfortunately that means your Wi-Fi antenna quit, and it needs service.

HP Support Assistant stopped working after HP Network Check Helper was installed

My computer model: HP Pavilion SlimLine s5-1160 desktop with Windows 7 64-bit Media Center
While I was away from my computer this morning HP installed HP Network Check Helper. When I returned there was a message that I needed to restart the computer. Upon restarting I received the same message. After trying several more times I disabled the helper using Manage Add-ons, but the restart computer message keeps appearing. When I tried to open HP Support Assistant it would not open, but instead the restart message popped up. In HP Setup Manager I clicked on Get Assistance, then Launch Support Assistant, and got....the restart message. If I open HP's Windows Help and Support and click on "Contact Support (Get in touch with someone at HP)" I get....the restart message. I re-installed HP Support Assistant with the latest version on the the HP website. Upon restarting the computer I got....the restart message.
So, the computer keeps telling me I need to restart it, HP Support Assistant will not open, and I can't obtain an HP support number to call by clicking on "Contact Support (Get in touch with someone at HP)". Does anyone know a number I can call to "Get in touch with someone at HP"?
Thanks.
