NO SERVICE ON iPhone 5 AFTER 7.1.1 UPDATE - (showing all the steps I made just to try and bring the signal of my carrier back) HELP!

Hi there, I did an iOS update for my iPhone 5 model: MD300ZP/A (FACTORY UNLOCKED)
After the update through iTunes. I restored my phone from the back up. I noticed that the signal bars for my carrier (Globe Telecom - Philippines) we're abnormally low. I tried calling my wife and it didn't push through. Tried a text message and it did not send. I had 2 bars of signal in a place where I normally have full coverage. My LTE and 3G works though.
After this I decided to;
1. Reset the network settings and nothing happened. Still no signal.
2. Put into airplane mode - waited 5-10 secs and turned off airplane mode. Still no signal.
3. Turned off 3G/LTE - waited a few secs. - Still no signal. - Turned it on again. Still no signal.
4. Did another full restore and update. Still no signal.
5. Another full restore and update to new iPhone (not restoring from my back up). Still no signal.
6. Put the iPhone on recovery mode - Plugged into to itunes. Made a restore from back up. Still no Signal.
7. Did No. 6 again and DID NOT restore from back up and set up as new iPhone. Still no signal.
8. Did another recovery mode and then restore. Ejected the phone and restored from iCloud. Still no signal.
9. Did another recovery mode and then restore. Ejected the phone and set up as new iPhone. GOT A SIGNAL! But still did not let me push through calls and text messages. Then the signal went away.
In between these steps I would get a "Update Carrier settings" window. I would see that and then click update then observe the phone. Nothing happens. Still no signal.
In between those steps again I would choose not to "Update the Carrier settings" and then the iPhone would carry a signal and then I will try to call but nothing happens once again.
10. I tried putting in other carrier sims and ONE worked - (Smart Telecom - Philippines) the other did not (SUN - Philippines).
11. Tried putting in my wifes sim (same as what didn't work for me) (GLOBE - Philippines) Still did NOT WORK.
12. Tried putting the sim that doesn't work on my updated phone to my wifes iPhone 5 which was still on 7.1 ONLY - AND IT WORKED.
13. Called my carrier and still nothing they have told me has helped.
now my iPhone is stuck on no service when I input the carrier sim that I have been using on it for a year now. Never jailbroken nor unlocked by a 3rd party software.
Anything I missed???
HELP APPLE HELP!!

hello...
I am having the same issue here... just upgraded my 5s to 7.1.1 (never jailbroken - factory unlocked) and then boom... NO Service!!! Searching ... that's it. currently using Smart Telecom Sim... at first it was working for me... after 6-7 hours, it started the No Service issue. I cannot send a text or make a call...
I did the steps you have taken but it is still not working... any updates on your end?

  • After dragging a song into a playlist, the playlist menu window just stays put and in the way. what gives?

    So I'm putting together a playlist in Itunes 11.1.5, selecting songs and dragging them over into the pop-in playlist menu, as you do.
    The first thing I notice is that the menu won't appear after I've begun dragging the chosen song and I need to grab and drag it a second time to make the playlist pop-in materialize.
    That second attempt is always successful in that the song does get added to the selected playlist, but then the playlist drop-in menu simply hangs out, rather than sliding out of view again. It blocks the righthand third of everything and nothing makes it go away. the only respite is to switch over to the "playlists" view which, presumably because it doesn't have that functionality of the drop-in menu, disappears same. When switching back to the Album view, the drop-in menu will be gone, but my place in my library will be lost.
    Annoying.
    Any ideas?

    Possibly a multiple tag issue. Try right click and Convert ID3 Tag > None two or three times, then Convert ID3 Tag > v2.3. You'll need to reapply album art, but I susepct that will fix it. iTunes works best with a single ID3v2.3 tag but some software creates parallel v1 tags, and it is even possible to add multiple tags for multiple languages. iTunes behaviour with multiple tags is somewhat unpredictable, occassionaly causing it to revert changes it seems to have applied.

  • Unable to backup iphone after itunes 10.7 update in windows 7

    After the update to iTunes 10.7 on Windows 7 64 bit today, I can't get my iPhone to back up to my computer.  I get a a message about being unable to establish a session with the phone.  This happens with my iPad as well.  Is this a known issue, or an update issue on my system?

    Okay so, i had the same problem too. i reinstalled my windows and i was unable to get my itunes to backup my iphone. Luckily, before reinstalling the windows, i had saved the backup files of my iphone.
    1.You can do this by going to: C drive/users/user/appdata/roaming/applecomputer/mobilesync/backup.
    2.Note: windows computer do not show hidden files by default and appdata files are hidden.
    to see the hidden files, visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Show-hidden-files
    3. so next time you format and reinstall the windows, make sure you have backed up the iphone backup files.
    4.so now after installing windows again and after reinstalling all the essential softwares, reinstall itunes and connect your iphone to itunes and authorise the computer.
    5. go back to the iphone backup file storage location which is:
    C drive/users/user/appdata/roaming/applecomputer/mobilesync/backup.
    6. once you are there you will see that there are no back ups in that location which is quite obvious. now paste the backup files of your iphone ( The backup which you made before installing the windows). as soon as you do this, you will see that the tab whi read: Restore form a backup glows up and is Clickable.
    7.so now, you have the backup and restore fully functional. for a safer side, make a new backup and transfer all the purchases to your  new itunes.

    SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow.  The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes.  I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2.  We installed the most recent patches and
    service packs.  Nothing we've done so far has fixed it and I see that I'm not the only person with this problem.  However I don't see any answers either.

    Hi Kim Sharp,
    According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
    of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
    Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/ 
    If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
    Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2  view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
    After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
    use ReportServer
    SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
    TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
    TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
    ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
    FROM ExecutionLog2
    ORDER BY Timestart DESC
    Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :

  • HT3939 if I purchased iPhone 5 GSM A1429, then I tried to use CDMA SIM card inside the same phone, does it'll work and provide me signals ???

    Hi All,
    Regarding iPhone 5, at the latest model, if I bought an unlocked one from UK Apple Store,  iPhone 5 GSM   A1429, then I tried to use CDMA SIM card inside the same phone, does it'll work and provide me signals or not. ??
    Thanks for your answering.

    The answer is complicated. None of the major carriers offer PAYG service in the US, but if you buy a contract-free phone for full price you can get a plan that can be canceled at any time from any of the major carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile). There are smaller resellers that offer PAYG service (StraightTalk, for example), but they are hard to deal with.
    The most liberal is the GSM carrier T-Mobile. They have "unbundled" the phone from the service, so if you bring your own phone or pay full price for a phone the monthly cost will be lower.
    The other 3 will charge you the same monthly cost whether you pay full price for the phone or get a subsidized phone.
    Verizon iPhone 5 series phones are unlocked out of the box for international use (thanks to a condition the FCC imposed on Verizon when they were allowed to buy a substantial chunk of spectrum). They are the only phones sold in the US that will work on LTE bands in the UK and Europe.
    Sprint is not a good choice, because they give you a hard time if you want to unlock your phone.
    AT&T phones are locked, but they will unlock the phone if you pay full price or pay off your early termination fee. However, they will only work on GSM in the UK, not on LTE (4G).

    Hi HARISH INDIA,
    That is not good but lets see if we can get it back to life. If you can, see if you can put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you can get it to restore, it will erase everything off your iPhone. If you have a back up in iTunes or iCloud then you can put that on after the restore is complete. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • After ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play

    after ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play

    did uncheck all music and resynced afterwards. Got all my music back on the phone. Next morning, the phone had greyed out 1/3 of the songs all by itself. Seems to have something to do with syncing over wifi. No solution yet other than resyncing all my playlists one by one,
    Combined with a battery that drained 5% every 5 minute before I reset the network settings, I am not impressed with Apple's premature launch of their new os. This is what beta testing is for, folks. The iPhone should be done with the growing pains. Shame.

    Will I be able to update the software?

    I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
    My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
    We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
    Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
    In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me  from her, if that makes any sense.
    Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
    Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    I have this question too (0) Reply

    Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
    It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
    since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours,  I dont know.......

    Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

    What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.
