No Service on iPhone 3gs after iOS 4

After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to the iOS 4 software I receive no service on my iPhone... is there any way of fixing this without reverting back to a previous software?

ok I have calmed down now a panic set in earlier... go to your SETTINGS ... tap the Airplane mode on and then off.... go back to the main screen and it will search for your carrier !
TA DAR I have have an IPHONE 4 !

No service in Iphone 3GS after upgrading to 6.0.1

Hi,
I have an Iphone 3GS with IOS version 4.1. Last saturday I upgraded it to IOS 6.0.1 and since then I get No service and Searching messages.
I tried my SIM card in a different Iphone and it worked fine. I tried another working SIM card in my Iphone, and it also got No Service or Searching.
I tried restoring, but still no luck.
My phone worked fine till this upgrade, for both calls and internet connection.
Any suggestion on how to proceed?
Please techies, these devices should have a way to go back to a previosu version of the software which ws working fine.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

It is obvious that I did not make myself clear in my first message.
The problem is with the phone after doing an upgrade, It is an Apple issue, that is why I am posting it in this forum.
Once more, "I tried my SIM card in a different Iphone and it worked fine. I tried another working SIM card in my Iphone, and it also got No Service or Searching." There is nothing wrong with the SIM card, it works fine, in fact I have it running in another phone till I sort out this issue.
The upgrade does not depend on Movistar or any other carrier, and this problem is happening worldwide.
I am afraid that you are misleading the problem.

Why doesn't itunes work on iphone 3gs after IOS 5 update?

After upgrading Iphone 3GS to IOS 5 it does not connect to the Itunes store for updates. I am able to download apps from Icloud but when I try to update apps it gives me an error that it cannot connect to the itunes store. I tried shutting down and restoring the phone. I went to settings went into the "store" logged in an out and still no luck. Does anyone have a fix for this? Please help.

Yes I have both, but I know a lot of times that wi-fi doesn't work with email. And it's all of my yahoo! accounts too. My gmail and iCloud works fine.

Unable to activate iPhone 3GS after IOS 5 upgrade

Hi: I was prompted by iTunes to upgrade my iphone 3GS to IOS 5. I didn't "steal" or did anything illegal. I have upgraded my iPhone software many times before through iTunes and never had any problems. So naturally I clicked "download and upgrade". Little did I know what trouble I got myself into. I'm not able to activate my iphone, and since I am overseas, I don't use my phone for everything except making calls, the phone is locked so I can't use any foreign sim card. I am very angry at Apple for doing something like that. Since I rely my iphone for all communications. Why would they ask me to upgrade then not allow me to activate my phone??????? This is not the first time Apple does something like that. Owning an Apple product should be headache free since we are paying a premium for it. But the reality is far from it.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Guys,
Even i updated my 3gs to IOS 6 from 4.1 today. N now its stuck on activation.
Plz help me

No service on iphone 3gs after updating to 6.1.6

After updating my iPhone 3gs to 6.1.6, am having a "No Service" problem. I can't even activate my iPhone.

You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

No Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 3GS after iOS 5

I made the Update to iTunes 10.5 on my Notebook with Windows XP and the Update to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS.
I had a lot of Problems (the Backup had an Error, my outgoing Mails were all deleted in all Mail Accounts, the Synchronisation of Music and Apps needs a lot of Synchronisations and a lot of Time and so on) with these Updates and I need more than 12 Hours at the Moment to repair all the Errors.
My last Problem is:
There is no Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone with iOS 5.
I can not see my Photos in my iPhone.
The Capacity in iTunes 10.5 shows 4,4 GB Fotos on my iPhone, but in my iPhone, there is no Folder in the Photo App and so I can not see the 4,4 GB of my Photos.
This Problem comes with iOS 5. I had this Problem never before.
First, I gave in iTunes a OK for a Home Sharing of Music, Videos, Photos and so on for the Folders and for the iPhone.
Second, I was in iTunes in Photos and deleted the Check in the Folder Photos.
Third, I made a Synchronisation with iTunes and the iPhone.
Fourth, the Capacity of the Photos was then only at 0,17 GB.
Fifth, I close iTunes and switched off the iPhone.
Sixth, I started iTunes and iPhone new and bring both together with the USB-Port.
Seventh, the Syncronisation started and the Capacity of the Photos in iTunes was at 0,17 GB, too.
Eigth, I set a new Check in the Folder Photos in iTunes for a Synchronisation.
Ninth, the Capacity showed 4,4 GB again.
Tenth, the Synchronisation started and showed on the Display "2 Photos of 16.000".
Eleventh, the Synchronisation Circle stopped after 10 Seconds, but the Notebook worked 2 Minutes longer.
And after this the Synchronisation stopped appruptely / crashed (?) and the Photos are "unvisible" on the iPhone.
Is this a known Bug?
Has Someone a Solution for a correct Synchronisation of the Photos, so that I can see successfully my Photos in my iPhone again?
Thank you very much for your Help!

Ever since my upgrade to iTunes 10.5 my laptop has been crashing. I've heard that the update ***** up 100% of your CPU, essentially crashing your computer. Apple, fix this now!!!

IPhone 3GS after iOS 5 update

So, I updated my iPhone 3GS a week ago. It became a little laggy, but I think that's to be expected.
Music and Videos applications are just f-ed up right now. It was perfectly fine the day after I updated it. So, now my Music application has 13 songs, but in iTunes there are 1986 items in the music folder. In my Videos application, there are 32 video clips and 7 movies. I removed 6 of those movies in my iTunes, but they are still in my iPhone, which can't be played. Under the summary tab of my phone, I can see the capacity bar. It's currently 0.11GB of videos. I'm pretty sure that is supposed to be around 3GB. When I try to put in more music, it doesn't go in. The music I try to put in, becomes gray and has the loading circle thingy in front of it. Any help?

No "Reply With Message" option on iPhone 3GS after ios 6

I know this has been asked before, but there were no answers given . . . my 3GS has no "Reply With Message" option for incoming calls. I've already done a reset, thinking something may have not completely carried over after upgrading to iOS 6, but it didn't change anything.
Anyone know how to get this option working???

You don't see the little phone in the lower right when a call comes in?
You swipe that up...

Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

I feel better knowing I wasn't going crazy this morning. After spending the last 15 hours tweaking iTunes Match, I was afraid the service was draining my battery, but then I just let it sit idle on my desk at work and periodicaly checked it, every 30 minutes I lost 5% when it was in standby. When I was checking mail in 5 minutes, the battery drained 1% each minute. After a full night charge last night the day of standby has brought me down to 43%. I normally charge my 4s every other night, and I listen to Pandora and TuneIn Radio regularly. I have a feeling it hasn't affected everyone, just like I had no issue before, but clearly have a massive issue now.
SERIOUSLY, APPLE. Make an announcement acknowledging this garbage. If my device doesn't get its normal battery life back, the poor folks at my local Apple Store are going to have my family and I raging the place.

Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.
