Phone signal

My phone has been saying searching for the last couple of hours. I have tried to restart it. But nothing seems to be working. I am unable to recieve or make calls/texts. What should i do. Do i need to restore it. if so, will i lose any of my data?

Try reseating the sim card if applicable. If you make a backup before restoring your should be able to reload your backup after the restore.

Sending email using phone signal not wifi

Dear all,
I would appreciate any help. I have two pop email accounts set up on my iphone. When connected to wifi both send and receive emails. However when connected via O2 signal (Uk) then the accounts will only receive and not send. In stead i get an rror message about the outgoing smtp server
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Josh

Okay, got some progress. If I configure the outgoing server to smtp.o2.co.uk then when I am using edge or standard phone signal the the emails are sent. If I then switch to wifi then the emails will not send.
However if I change the outgoing server to smtp.ntlworld.com then the emails will send when using wifi and but not if using edge or standard phone signal.
Not great but I guess that since this is a mobile device I will keep it set to o2.
Unless anyone who is way smarter than me (not Hard) can provide a solution. I suppose I could set up duplicate accounts with all settings identical apart from the smtp server.
would that work?
Josh
Here's a solution that will work with both wifi and GPRS/EDGE connection. Use the smtp.o2.co.uk hostname for the Ougoing Server but also add your o2 username (full email address) and o2 password into the Outgoing Server fields.

Phone signal drops and says 'searching...' no idea what to do

Half way through calls or after calls the phone signal drops and i can't get it back unless i switch on and off numerous times. THis has been gong on to a greater or lesser degree since I got the phone a year ago but has got much worse recently.
i have tried resetting all settings, as per the o2 advice. They have told me to go to the apple store but I am not hopeful that they will help and as it is a long way I don't want a wasted journey. I have swapped sims/ phones with my partner who has a 3g iphone and he doesnt have the same problem so it is not related to where i am geographically or my sim. any ideas?

I have the same problem after I have update my iPhone 3G to iOS 4.1.
Immediately after the update my simcard was demagnetized (it was unusable). So I had to buy a new sim card but after a couple of day more times a day the sigal drops down and I have to switch off/on.
My iphone has never had any problems untill the update.
My operator is Vodafone Italia.

Need help Phone signal going on and off

I need help with my Z3, I just installed the new update (23.0.1.A.5.77) and the phone signal won't connect. It keeps fluctuating off and on. It was working perfectly fine before the update. I even did a reset but its still the same.

Hi Flexatron,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Did you by chance try simply removing the SIM card from the handset for around 30 seconds and putting it back in and restarting.
This could be a simple communications issue with the SIM.
let us know how you get on.

Solution: How to find the phone signal in fringe areas

This is not so much a question but a solution I accidentally found.
If you are in a weak signal area and the phone is stuck on "searching" or says "no signal" and you need to get it to find that phone signal all you need to do is push the phone shut off button on the top of the phone by holding it down until the shut down screen appears, but don't move the slider to shut down the phone.
Next, wait a few seconds and the phone signal will show up. In really fringy areas you may need to try twice.
There is no question that this phone is much more able to get weak signals than my 3GS.

Hi, thanks for the information, but i have figured out the following additional settings that are required to be made :
1) from upper menu, select the "Environment" to :- Business blueprint
2) then select any folder on the left-hand-side
3) Now, click on 'Structure' tab
....and now, follow the steps as answered by you.
Also, after you have opened up the "History" dialog box ..... click on the "show scope info' ...... it will give you the entire change log.
Thanks,
PS : step no. 1) is very important.

Cell phone signal looking icon in Safari?

When Safari loads a new page, I see an icon in the upper left of the page briefly that looks like a cell phone signal meter. What is this? I'm using Safari on a self built Windows 7 machine and was wondering if I had some sort of malware or adware. I do not get this icon using Safari on my MAC.

Are you aware that Apple is dropping support for Safari for Windows > Apple apparently kills Windows PC support in Safari 6.0
Better off using IE or Chrome.

IPhone 3G drops phone signal. Restore IOS?

Having upgraded to an iPhone4S, my wife inherited my old 3G. It has worked fine for years, but now in the past few weeks it will lose all phone signals, showing just "Searching...". WiFi is fine. Going to Airplane Mode and back doesn't help; only rebooting (turning off and then on) will restore the signal, full bars, fine for a day or so. This is in my house, with a good signal, and my 4S never drops it, so it's not a signal issue. Nor hardware, or why does a reboot bring it back? I'm thinking I should reinstall the IOS. Does a full reset to factory keep the existing IOS? I am fully up-to-date with whatever version 3G is up to. I want to reinstall it fresh: restoring it from a backup will only put back whatever problem it has, no? The various support pages are not clear on this. Mr. Google shows me some pages on how to revert to an older IOS; if I tried that, I would then automatically be presented the opportunity to update to latest, correct? I use Win7-64bit iTunes, though I have access to a Mac. TIA.

In this post you mentioned being an Ex-Genius, which I understood to mean you used to work for Apple. If so we should be asking you this question...
But that aside, I wonder if the network is dropping you back to Edge assuming there is no need to clog up the network with sleeping phones during high load times. Then when you wake your phone, it tries to jump from Edge to 3G and that is what you are seeing. Just Guessing here....
Also perhaps your battery being as low as is indicated caused the phone to go to deep power saving mode...

WeBoost cell phone signal boosters could help your reception

Maybe it’s Murphy’s Law, but dropped calls usually happen at the most inopportune times. An important or engaging conversation cut short by a sudden drop in reception can be annoying—even more so if it happens with any sort of regularity. Cell phone signal boosters are designed to amplify sending and receiving those signals, and weBoost has products that cover both your car and home.

Thanks - was unsure who to contact but will do so

Hello Joecal18
Check out the Power/Battery section of the iPhone hardware troubleshooting guide below. If it continues after that you may need to restore the iPhone and test it as a new device.

My partner updated to IOS 5 last night on his iPhone 4 and can no longer pick up any wifi signal and phone signal is dire in areas where he had no problem before... anyone having similar issues??

After updating to IOS 5 on an iPhone 4 can no longer get wifi in my home and phone signal is terrible and drops out taking up to 10 mins to re-appear... anyone else having these sort of problems??

I am having similar problems on my new iPhone 4S
My mac gets good wifi connection in the same location. I measured the signal strength -- something like -77db signal vs. -90db noise.
But my iPhone WiFi keeps cutting in and out. In fact, I left my phone on last night to update various apps over WiFi. When I checked it this a.m. I had received several warning messages from AT&T that I was nearing my 3G data limit. I looked at my phone and it had consumed nearly 100mb of cellular data overnight, when it should have been connected over WiFi.
Needless to say, it's taken some of the thrill away from my new iPhone...

Getting phone signal into Logic via M-Audio

To record phone calls on my land line, I got a Radio Shack Recording Control (43-228A), plugged it up, and set it to "Record." I plugged the 3.5mm plug into an adapter for 1/4 inch plug, which went into Input 1 on my M-Audio Fast Track Pro, from which point everything else is set as usual going into my Mac's FW. I made sure I had Input 1 selected, went to record as I spoke on a test call, and -- nothing but a hummmmmm. Just to be sure, I switched from line to mic input, and that didn't affect the hum.
Does anyone know of what details I may have overlooked here to get the phone signal into Logic? FWIW, I also tried with the chintzy little $8 suction-cup on the handset, since it also has a 3.5mm plug. Not even any hum.
I checked the usual suspects of "DUH" carelessness within Logic itself: making sure I matched the input to the M-Audio (tried both 1 and 2 anyhow), level up high, etc.
Also, would anyone recommend other procedures for telephone recording? I'd rather stick with land lines instead of Skype or iChat, since not everyone I'll be calling to interview will have those. Suggestions?
Thanks,
c

are the xp80 audio outputs wired into UL audio inputs?

No phone signal, Can't get a phone signal on my iPad 2. Sigal is strong on my iPhone. Tried reset and power off.

Currently traveling in Scotland with slow connection. I get a usable phone signal in my wife's iPad and my iPhone but my iPad2 shows "no service". Have tried shutdown and reset both manually and odd the Settings menu. What else can I try?

I'm not 100% on this, but I am pretty sure, You can only use the carrier which your sim is locked to. Changing it will likely result in an error. If you are on different carriers, then you are stuck, sadly. You may like to buy a new sim for your iPad, from a carrier which you know you can get signal from where you are. Ask in a phone shop, or a shop which sells the iPad, if there are any.

'No Service' phone signal on 3GS

My 3GS suddenly stopped receiving a phone signal despite seaching. An iPhone 4 next to it sees the signal. I've completed a reset, removed the sim and reinstalled, turned Bluetooth off. WiFi is OK but with Carrier set to manual it won't see any service provider at all so no phone signal. I've run out of ideas on this. Any clues?

It was given to him as a gift by a cousin, brandnew at the time. That’s what I have been told and why I am not giving up on it being some other issue that can actually be fixed.
As for Settings>General>About>Model, here is a screenshot:

"no service" happens once everyday, and when i restart my phone, signal goes back. So everyday, i turn my phone on and off to get my signal back..HELP!

i had this problem on 5.0.1 Firmware, sometimes it would fix using the Airplane Mode Switch (turning it off and turning it back on)..
are you on Firmware 5.1.1?
