No Service signal on I phone3

My I phone3 comes up with "no service" a lot. I have to turn the phone off & back on to get signal again. Can it be that if the phone loses signal it will look longer for it or make a noise so that you know it is out of services?

  • Cycling--Searching, No Service, Signal!!!! Maybe a fix!

    I think I figured out this problem. At random, my iPhone4 hits a snag. It will say AT&T 3G > Searching > No Service > 3G > AT&T and so on. This has happened to me at least 4 times already in the last 3 months. For several hours, it will do this and I can't call or text.
    FIX (and a safe fix):
    Back up the iPhone4 in iTunes. Then perform a restore as a NEW iPhone4. Once the software is installed, right click on your iPhone4 in iTunes and click "Restore from Back up." Choose the backup you just made. This will copy all settings from all Apps back to the iPhone. It's like nothing ever happened to your phone. All texts, emails, games and all settings are back to normal.
    I know why it breaks...maybe
    Now, I think I figured out why this is happening and I'd like feedback on this matter. I just discovered that my best friend was texting me with a photo attachment. Every time he does this, it knocks my phone service out of comission. I get the cycling Searching, no service, signal. Normal texts seem to work. Only attachment photos in the text break my iPhone4.
    He has a Droid (I don't know his model number) through Verizon.
    Can anyone help or comment on why this could be happening? Only his phone does this and I can't think of any of my other friends that use a Verizon Droid to test this.
    Help?!? Maybe? Flaw?

    I have this problem, started yesterday. After an hour of the constant cycling I called AT&T. They said they're aware of this problem and can fix it. They couldn't tell me how it gets fixed but did tell me mine will be fixed by the 25th. I asked them to just switch my service back to my old iphone but they said it is not the phone, it's the network and I'd still have the issue. They said they think it is caused by texting media to another carrier or 2G phone, it gets our phones hung up on it and they continuously bounce back and forth between 2G and 3G. Call your carrier to get the fix, although mine is still broken till the 25th. What a nightmare! I have an useless iphone4 besides the 30 second window of connection. I hope this helps.

  • No Service signal

    After i upgraded my 3gs to ios 5.0.1 i keep ;osing the service signal and i cannot find my carrier on the carriers list. i tried the rest / restore / resetting network settings. every thing. the problem is that i didnot even finished my payment for the phone and i canot use it.
    please help

    I'm wondering that myself. I've been an AT&T/Cingular customer for several years, but recently moved to a location where the signal is weak to the point that I often have to go outdoors to make a call. I'm still not activated, but I've been seeing either "No Service" or - occasionally - a sliver of one bar. Even outdoors. Yikes!

  • "No Service" signal strength related

    So I got my iPhone and went through the set up on iTunes. I am porting from Verizon so it told me that they are working on my activation. Anyway, My phone says "No Service" up in the signal strength area. I walked around my house and it did not change. Then I got in my car and drove around and it still say's "no service". Does it say this because the phone has not been activated or do I actually have no signal strength? If so will ATT be able to activate my phone?

  • My iPhone 5 receives no service signal.

    Please I need help. I have an iPhone 5 that I bought two years ago. It has been working well all these while. However last week, I was on a call when I lost signal. Since that day my phone has not received any signal. I have restarted it, rebooted it, deleted a lot of data And my iPhone 5 is still not showing any signal. The same SIM card is receiving signals from an android phone. It's then that I am convinced that the problem is with my iPhone. I have just reset the phone completely as a new device, stil it is written "No Service". What do I do please?
    THanks!

  • Can a bad service/signal effect battery life?

    The last few weeks I have been getting bad service from Sprint. It varies from low signal on the edge (o) network, romaining (Extended) , and sometimes nothing. Will this effect the life of the battery of my phone? It seems to have drained it very quickly the last few days.

    Yes. The phone constantly searching for signal will cause the radio in the phone to be working harder. This in turn will cause the battery to drain faster.

  • Signal Booster Options for poor service signal in home

    The new home I am moving to gets really poor signal (seems to be just in the yard and house ~3 acres) everywhere around home gets signal. What would be a good signal booster option so I can get calls in my home? Zipcode 56759

    At this moment, I believe your only option is the network extender, which is currently a Samsung model. You would hook this up to your home internet connection. Limitations are it is only 3G and not LTE.
    Future, Verizon has said they will be releasing an LTE network extender. Also Verizon announced in the fall of 2014 they will support wifi calling with supported phones sometime in 2015. Both are still not concrete on dates, so I would not count on them right now. Just be aware that if you get the 3G network extender, it will be obsolete in less than a year.

  • To I need to have 3G enabled to recieve service signal as when I turn 3G off I get no service in the top left signal bar

    Do I need 3G enabled always to recieve service as when I turn it off I get a no service note in the top left bar

    Yes, but if you're connected to wifi then no.

  • HT4623 I keep getting a no service signal and it keeps running

    I weep getting a no signal in the upper left hand corner. I have wifi but it won't connect.

    Hey Lorac21,
    It sounds like the issue is being unable to join 3G/4G/LTE network. I would run through the recommended steps in here if that's the case:

  • HT201270 I have done all of this but still get the 'no service' signal. Can anyone help with this?

    Carrier settings updates are small files (about 10 kb) that are installed on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular models). Carrier settings include updates to Access Point Names (APNs), MMS settings, features such as tethering, and default apps such as Stocks, Maps, and Weather. You might receive notifications periodically about installing a carrier-settings update.
    Follow these instructions to update your carrier settings:
    Make sure your device is connected to the Internet.
    Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
    If your iPhone is using iOS 4 or earlier, follow these instructions:
    Make sure you have a working Internet connection on your computer.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer and open iTunes.
    Select the device on the left side of the iTunes window and click Check for Updates. If a carrier settings update is available, iTunes displays a prompt.
    Restart your device.
    Note: Occasionally a carrier may release a mandatory update. This type of update will display only an OK button instead of an Update button, to let you know that the update was downloaded and installed.
    If you need to know the version of the carrier settings your device has, tap Settings > General > About and look next to "Carrier".

    I did the verification, which indicated that the last backup was 0422 today.  However, when I opened my Mac, this morning at 0500, I still got the message that the backup was NOT performed, etc, etc. etc.
    The backup is made on the standard Tiime Machine.
    The next backup has already started as of 0518.  Let's see what happens.  This is strange.  Here is the time sequence: 0518    Backup started
                    0525     Mac. froze and color wheel would not allow me to access anything on the Mac,
                    0528     Backup continuted:  91.9 MB of 94.8 MB
                    0530     92.2 MB of 94.8 MB
                    0532     Backup stopped.  Message: Latest backup 4:22 Today.
    It seems to be functioning properly at this point.  I'm curious to see if I get the standard "The backkup was not performed because an error occured while copying files to the backup disk" message, later today.
    I appreciate your help.  I'll keep you posted as I may need your help again. 
    Thanks

  • Data Service Problem 9200

    I have Black Berry 9200, recently purchased using Data Services of TATA DOCOMO.
    My handled automatically loses the Data Services Signals and "EDGE" displays in small letter "edge", for getting Data signals I am to switch off the mobile. On the other hand I am getting proper signals of Mobile.
    Kindly help me to solve this problem.

    Hi taqddus,
                             Simple logic is whenever you see a small letter " edge " it means at that time you are not connect to BIS ( provided that you hold a BIS or BES )  it may be because of some network failure ,However at that time  you can call or send text message which is not related to BIS  but to your carrier,to check that  whenever you see "EDGE " turn small case " edge "  Go to > Manage connection > Service status  > Blackberry Internet Service > you can see it is " not connected."
       Whenever you see or feel any unsual in your device always the advice is  just perform a battery Pull Reboot like this While Device is Powered On remove the Battery wait for a min. then re-insert it back wait till the device take a long Reboot. O ur device also require restart just as our PC . Do let us know if you feel any problem.
    Good Luck

  • Pay for repair service available at Apple?

    Totally teardown a iphone 4, but start no GSM service or 1 bar of GSM service signal, Apple accept pay for repair service if device teardown and broken by self?

    They probably wont fix it for you because i don't think their trained or equipped for that but they'll probably take in your warranty voided iPhone 4 and give you a replacement unit for about $200.

  • HT4061 IPhone 4s Unexpected loss of signal

    Is there a Way I can contact someone at APPLE or somewhere else  so I can solve my software problem with my IPhone 4S?
    Unexpected loss of signal and communications have occurred to the point that I cannot use my phone any longer.  I went to see my telephone service provider and they told me that there is no problem with it (service, signal, chip, etc.) but they have been aproached by many IPHONE 4S users reporting the same problem.
    I have read many things about this matter in internet but no one seem to have solution to this. Everyone (around the world) agrees  that this is caused by a faulty software. I have updated my phone with  the latest version (OS 6)  and the problem has gotten worse. I also have battery problems since this one doesn't last not even 3 hours after the upgrading. I have found NO other place or option where  I can get support but this "Apple suport communities".  I bought my phone,factory unlocked, from Apple Store in NY and  actually I'm using it in La Paz, Bolivia (South America).
    I belive that if Mr. Jobs would still be alive things would have been different.
