No Service after being abroad?

My shiny new phone keeps losing all signal and displaying the "Network Lost" and "No Service" notification every couple of minutes. I have recently come back from holiday in Greece (where it couldn't find any other networks to latch on to, even though the wife's Blackberry did!) and ever since, my phone has trouble finding a network signal, prompting me every 5 minutes to select a new network from the "Settings" tab.
I didn't have this problem before I went on holiday and have experienced no other difficulties with the phone.
Has anybody else experienced this issue, and if so, any ideas how to remedy it?
Thanks muchly in advance!

Very disappointed in Verizon's service after being a customer for over 8 years

I bought 2 LG chocolates on the family plan.
From the start the touch feature has been less than satisfactory, when you scroll it scrolls so fast you often can't get to where you want to be.
Recently the touch screen has completely broken down and you can't text, retrieve calls, find a contact using the touch screen because it freezes. This was the case on both phones within the same time frame
I took the phones back to verizon yesterday and told them the problem. They acknowledged that this was a defect with the phones. They told me they would apply a software upgrade which would take abou 20 minutes anth that would fix the problem
I left the store for 20 minutes and when I returned they told me that the upgrade did not work. They said I had insuranceon the one phone but not the other and that they would replace the one but that I needed to upgrade the other.
I argued the point that this was a defect and it should be replaced/fixed as a defect. They told me that when you buy a car, and the warantee expires, you have to pay for repairs.
I said that when a car has a defect, they recall the car and fix it for free. They then countered with the fact that I shuold remove my internet package to reduce payments.. even though I told them I needed to access e-mails.
They then tried to sell me a home phone, which I had not come in to buy, but they refused to address the real issue which was that I had to replace the faulty phone that had a KNOWN DEFECT!!
I am so disillusioned by verizon wireless that when my contract is up I am seriously considering one of the other carriers that provide unlimited calling/texting for much less
To her credit, one of the techs who was helping me did get my connection fee waived because she saw how upset I was, but the other one was completely unheplful.
And one of the other engineers told me I had bought an piece ofold technology garbage .
Yet they were still not willing to help me by replacing the piece of garbage.

Phones sold by Verizon have a one year manufacturer's warranty, and the tech was right, after that time period, unless you have paid for the extended warranty, you are responible for repacing a defective unit. You can look for another carrier, but these warranties are provided in partnership with the companies that actually make the phones. That means that the policies are basically the same across all carriers, because ultimately, it goes back to the same handful of companies that are making the devices.
In general, if you want tech support, don't go to a store. Store employees are trained and employed to sell, sell, sell. That is how they make their commissions, and how their managers earn their paychecks. If you call in and speak directly to tech support, you'll get people who are paid and trained to help you, and who won't have a vested interest in pressuring you to buy additional products.

You should probably reset your network setttings

Hey, it's another "No Service after IOS6" thread!

I know, it's looks like this has been covers before, but I've not read a thread that covers he problem the same as I have.
Basics:
iPhone 4 was running fine with no reception issues on iOS5.x
Upgrade to 6 and since then service comes and goes very frequently. It can come, go, and come back again in 2 or 3 minutes. Sometimes with 1 bar, sometimes all bars. Inside or outside.
I mean, I've been sitting here typing this on WiFi and I've watched the carrier service come and go 5 times already. It's now settled on "No Service" after being on 4 bars for a few mins, then "Searching" for ages.
So, what have I tried? Well, I've done old network reset to no joy. I've removed the SIM and reseated it to no joy. Ive restore she phone via iTunes to no joy.
I've run out of ideas...

Reset - hold power/button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.
If that doesn't fix it, then you should contact your phone carrier as they handle cellular data.

FIM Sync service keeps restarting after being disabled

Hi - We are deploying the SharePoint User Profile Store connector and I have followed all the steps here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn511003(v=ws.10).aspx
However the FIM Sync service keeps enabling and restarting itself - can't see anything in the event logs except a Evt ID: 2001 - Service was started successfully
What is starting this service? How can I stop so that it remains in the disabled state?
Thanks
J

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to disable the FIM Sync service, but FIM Sync service keeps restarting after being disabled.
I suggest you start the FIM Sync service again and stop it, then disable it.
You shouldn't need to start those services manually - SharePoint will do everything itself when you start the User Profile Sync service in Central Administration.
Restarted the User Profile Synchronization Service in Central Administration.(Central Administration -> System Settings -> Manage services on server -> User Profile Synchronization Service.)
Stop the FIM Sync service and then disable it.
Here are two links, you can use as a reference:

Satellite L870-165 does not work after being repaired by their service

Laptop Toshiba warranty does not work after being repaired by their service twice.
Model: Satellite L870-165
Computer will not boot, stays with black screen stating: No bootable device-Please restart your system
After reboot still happening the same.
I called Toshiba phone incident and after trying several options I said take him to repair the service.
They first told me it was the hard drive, then phoned me to indicate that reinstalling and finally it was the motherboard, which supposedly changed. The day after being picked computer repair returned to give exactly the same error, only malfunctioned one evening.
After another call to 902 the Toshiba warranty service, I went back to take the service, this time I changed the hard drive. When I got home the computer did not start even once, again gives the same error.
I believe that this team comes with a factory default so that its solution is not easy because even the technical service told me that I did not know what else to do with it.

>Computer will not boot, stays with black screen stating: No bootable device-Please restart your system
This message pops up because the notebook cannot find the Windows system.
There could be either an problem with the HDD or maybe the HDD is OK but the Windows system isnt preinstalled properly.
You said that the service agent changed the HDD. But did someone install the Windows system?
You can try to do it yourself take your recovery disk (hopefully you created such disk in the past) and boot from the recovery disk in order to install the system.
In case booting from the Disk would not be possible, go to BIOS (F2) and disable the secure boot and change from UEFI to CSM mode

Computer randomly losing power after being serviced

My computer was just recently serviced after the motherboard was apparently damaged (the hard drive could not be located within the computer). After getting it back, I began using it regularly again, being slightly more cautious. It hasn't been more than five days and already I'm having issues, this time with power. I'm not exactly sure what is going on, but all I know is that one minute I'll be playing a game or working on music, and the next minute the computer just dies. It takes it a bit to be able to be powered up again, but the lap isn't showing any signs of overheating. Is there anything that I can do to fix this without needing to send it in again? (I'd rather not be without it again for 3 weeks, but if it boils down to it I will send it in again.)

I have replied to you three times now without reply. I DID NOT authorise a payment of £9.99 for NowTV. What is the solution to getting my money refunded. I think you assume I will go away after being Ignored. No I will not go away. I find now that you have DISABLED MY APPLE ID. Is this a punishment you use to anyone who takes up a stand against charges being made unauthorised on their account?. Please tell me why you have disabled my account. When will my account be restored? If not when will you refund ALL my purchases made to APPLE/ITUNES? I can then move on to another brand and hopefully better customer service. After reading articles regarding APPLE ID DISABLED it appears common practice from your company to DISABLE anyone's account if they question unknown charges. Please reply with your intentions regarding the unauthorised payment and the DISABLING of my account.

I have bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to print from my IPad. I have installed airport utility on my Hp laptop and it is configured correctly but the printer I have is showing neither on laptop nor on IPad. Can u tell how

I bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to AirPrint from my IPad. I have set up airport utility on my Hp laptop and configured it properly with the express. But still I'm not able to detect the printer attached to the USB port of airport express, neither on my laptop nor on my IPad. Can someone tell me if and how it can be done?

Who assured you that an AirPort Express would allow you to use AirPrint from an iPad. They were incorrect.
AirPrint from iPads and other iOS devices is only supported on a select few wireless network printers that expressly advertise that feature. An AirPort Express will not add that feature to a printer that does not support AirPrint. Also, for printers that do support AirPrint a wireless access point is not required since the printer needs to support wireless networks connections internally.
The HP laptop should however be able to print to the printer connected to the AirPort Express. Try also installing the Bonjour Print Services for Windows. It will make printer discovery a lot easier when using Bonjour enable devices like an AirPort Express.

Creative Zen's clock gets reset after being plugged into the w

I bought the wall recharger for my Creative Zen 8 GB, as I had another MP3 player (SanDisk Sansa e260) die mysteriously after being plugged into the computer's USB port.
The only complaint I have is that if I leave the Zen plugged in, after it finishes recharging, the screen goes blank and when I unplug it and turn it on, the clock and calendar are reset to their default (March 7, 2008).
I am on a Vista Home Premium computer (no service pack). I have the latest the firmware on the player and use the latest version of Media Explorer.
Does this happen to anyone else who uses the wall charger?

Hello, I read your post & am replying to it because I too am having a clock syncronization issue but mine is not related to plugging it into a wall charger. My date AND time resets too to April 7, 2008 for some reason. I reset it yesterday to the correct date and time for yesterday (May 8, 2008) and now it is reset back to the previous date I mentioned. It couldn't even keep the time/date accurate for 24 hours! My battery was already charged however several days ago and is no where near being finished (it says half full). My firmware version is .2.0.
Anyhow I know this doesn't help you at all, but at least you're not alone on this issue...mine doesn't originate with charging it though...maybe that will help you at the very least.

Is it possible to not pay ATT if I stopped using service after buying iPhon

I would like to buy iPhone 3Gs and I don't mind subscribing to ATT, but my concern is:
What if I didn't like iPhone & neither ATT service after buying it, *is it possible just to stop using both of them (iPhone & ATT) or I'll have to pay for 2 years no matter what happens?*
Its logical that if I didn't pay after 4-5 months, they can stop the service & iPhone will get locked again and that's all, isn't it?
Regards,
Alan

You can return an iPhone for payment credit within 30 days after the purchase date - less a 10% restocking fee, and cancel the contract with AT&T within the same time frame with no early contract termination fee charged by AT&T. If you cancel the contract after the initial 30 days, you will be charged an early contract termination fee by AT&T and you keep the iPhone. The iPhone will remain carrier locked with AT&T, and unless the iPhone remains activated with AT&T, you have no warranty coverage. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.
If you don't pay after 4-5 months and you ignore being contacted by AT&T about your past due balance, your service will be cancelled, AT&T would eventually turn this over to a collection agency, this would be reported to credit bureaus affecting your credit history. Go to get service with another carrier with a subsidized phone, and you will likely be forced to pay a deposit before being granted credit again with a post-paid account.
The iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T only, and remains carrier locked with AT&T regardless if the iPhone remains activated with AT&T or not.

HT204003 how do I permanently delete a pass from my passbook account? (It keeps reappearing after being deleted.)

I have a pass in passbook that keeps reappearing after being deleted. It pops up (location sensitive) despite the fact that I have disabled the location services, repeatedly. I need to permanently delete it.

Hi, sophiaskoub.
Thank you for the question. The most common cause for this is having Automatic Downloads enabled on the secondary computer. See the first article on how to disable this feature. The other attached articles cover how to delete media from iTunes and hiding any purchases that have been made.

Droid DNA - No 4G service after update!!!!!

So after being herassed by my phone for the last week to let it update I did this morning and am beyond upset with the outcome. I no longer am getting 4G service anywhere when for the past 6 months of owning the phone Ive gotten 4g everywhere including my desk where I am writing this now. I have restarted and shut down the phone multiple times and am only getting either 1X data connection or 3G and too boot; data upload and download dont seem to be functioning properly. When I try to download an app or upload somthing the action will not complete. What is the point of forcing upgrades that cause the phone to malfunction, I am paying for 4G service and thatsd what I expect to receive.

Two suggestions. Same result.....
Take Sim card out of phone carefully while phone is off. Wait a few moments and then insert Sim carefully back into device and turn on and see if it grabs 4G again.
Or go to a Verizon wireless corporate store and have them give you a new one and have them put it in for you.
See if either fixes your issue.
Good Luck

Hello mickd1505c,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It's appears as though you need to seek hardware service for your iPad since this occurred after you dropped it.

W530 will only boot after being left off for hours

I just purchased a Thinkpad W530. it has worked beautifully other than one major problem: it won't start up after a shutdown unless I leave it off for hours. I can turn it on after being off and it works just fine, but if I turn it off I have to almost wait overnight for it to turn back on again. I hit the power button, the green light comes on for a few seconds and then it turns off again.
I've tried booting with just the AC adapter and just the battery. I've also tried unplugging both and holding the power button for 30+ seconds and then plug it back in and it does the same thing. I ran the hardware diagnostic test provided by Lenovo when I'm able to actually get it to work but the results (albeit it's nowhere near a comprehensive test) appear to be fine. I also tried changing what slot the RAM is inserted in.
Also, it has never shut down or anything randomly and it won't turn on no matter how long I had it on so I don't think it's a heat related issue. I had it on for under a minute yesterday morning and then turned it off and it wouldn't turn on until this morning.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I think it IS a heat issue, but not overheating. You probably have a defective chip on the motherboard (part of the starting circuit) that only works when cold. I assume it has a warranty. Now is the time to get service.
