My iphone isnt staying on and not charging.it also says its searching for a signal

Hi, my iphone for some reason has just stopped working. I have no idea what happened to it! My phone would not turn on, even when I plugged it in. So I came back to it 5 days later and plugged it in. It thankfully turned on, but when I unplugged it..it turned off. Wouldn't turn back on. When I plug it in,all it says is that it's searching for a signal. We have a signal here so I don't know why it's saying that. I have tried restarting it MANY times and it isn't working. When I plug it into my laptop, the iphone doesn't come up on Itunes. I'm not sure what to do now. Please can someone help me? Thank you!

Also,when I unplug the phone it doesn't on or do anything. When I plug it into my laptop, the apple sign keeps coming on and off.

NO one answered me! Need help: Iphone 5 doesn't search for a signal!

Everytime I am in library, my cellphone doesn't have a signal. So my phone only gets wifi.
When I leave the library, my iPhone 5 doesn't search for a signal. It shows me "no service" until I turn on/off the airplane mode.
Then the phone starts to search for signal.
Is this my phone problem or the carrier?
Should I get a replacement?
Thank you

I upgraded my iPad 2 (3G) to the new OS8 and I can no longer connect to 3G. All the settings on the iPad are correct. It just shows that it's searching for a signal. I'm in an area where my signal (pre OS8) was very good in strength. Please help!

Jabber - Search for phone Numbers (extensions)

Hi there,
as on the old Cisco Personal Communicator there was a possibillity to search for extension numbers on the search field. If I enter an extension number on the Jabber Client on Windows, there is no Name and Picture shown from this employee. For example, if you type in 1234 in the field it just says "call 1234" but I want so find the employee which extension is 1234.
On the jabber-config.xml I already tryed the UDS and EDI method.
So I'm just asking if there is a general problem with this function or if this is just an configuration issue. If it would help, I'll post the jabber-config.xml.
Thanks for a reply.
regards
Marc

Hi Marc,
Currently this is not supported. It is tententively planned for 9.4 which has no current release date.
Thanks,

Searching for phone carrier

I work in a building with very poor reception for my phone. My partner who sits across from me also has an iphone. We have both noticed in the last while that when we lose reception it sometimes won't come back on it's own once we are in a place that has good reception. We have both found that we need to power down the phone and then power up again to get the reception to come back otherwise it just continues to read "searching" where the carrier is displayed. My son who also has an iphone has reported similar findings on occasion when he happens to lose reception. It's hard for me to say how recent this is ... but I would certainly say it's since the last update. Anyone else out there noticed this?

I too have this issue. And my work building has poor reception as well. A lot of my co-workers have the iPhone and their signal seems fine where mine is sometimes either Searching.... or on E (Edge) service. If I reboot the phone, it seems to go back to a normal signal on par with the other iPhones my co-workers have until it happens again. I called Apple support tonight with a few questions and this was something I mentioned. The rep suggested that I do a hard reset and/or go to *Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings*. I did what I thought was a hard reset (pressing both the home and power buttons at the same time), but it acted the same as a regular turning off of the phone, so I don't know if that worked. I haven't tried the other option yet. I'm curious to know if this is common or a Hardware/software issue?
It seems to have the issue mostly when I am at work. The area is a weird when it comes to cell service signal. Even for Verizon service. I even get this weird tone from my phone when calling out in the area until I get about a 1/2 mile or so away. There isn't anything unusual in the area to cause interference that I know of, but it's a wooded area, so there may be something around that I can't see.
I guess my biggest concern is why is my iPhone having signal issues when others seem to be fine.

My iphone5 keeps searching for a signal but can't get one. What do I do?

HT1695 How can i connect to a wifi with my Iphone 4s when it searches for wifi but never finds any signals anywhere available?

My Iphone 4s can not scan for wifi signals. My phone was jailbroken and it was working fine until one day, my phone began to have problems searching for wifi signals. It connected and took longer to do so, however the next day it didnt pick up any wifi what so ever. I tap settings>wifi>on> and its an endless search in places where there is wifi.I saddly lost my hard drive where i kept a back up for my iphone, so restoring it from a back up wont do. I plugged it in on another
computer which i had to set restore as a new phone. I did and i still hasn't worked, i am open to suggestions and the following i am aware of:
It hasnt been dropped
condensation/humidity (which i dont want it to be because it has been raining a lot and its never been wet)
Thank you in advance!

IPhone says searching for service after ios 7.1.1 update! HELP!

I updated my iPhone 5c to the iOS 7.1.1 last night and didn't think I would have any problems. I went to bed and woke up this morning with my phone in the top left corner saying "Searching..." and the the wifi symbol.
I went to check my setting to see if my data was off, but when I went into the settings app and clicked the tab labed "Celluar" the app crashed and took me back to the home screen. It does this everytime I try and go into that tab! So, I have no idea what it going on with my phone! I can't make calls, send texts through my phone number (I can still send iMessages when connected to wifi), the screen glitches and moves when I go into apps, the battery life is now terrible and drains really fast. Everything about my phone was perfectly fine until I updated it to the iOS 7.1.1, so I believe something must have went wrong when it was updating.
Overall these are my main problems:
-iPhone is "Searching" for phone service (which means I have no service so no calls or texts can be sent or recieved)
-Cellular tab in settings crashes
-Battery drains over 2x faster than normal
-Screen seems to glitch or move when I open apps

Hi SamSam1103,
If you are having multiple issues with your iPhone after a recent update, your best course of action may be to back up your content to iTunes, restore the phone to factory settings, then test to see if the issues persist in its default config before bringing back your content from the backup. You may find the following articles helpful:

Spotlight search for telephon numbers

Hello,
I am using the search field inside the addressbook.app to type in a telephon number of an existing contact.
Unfortunately no results are shown for contacts which having the number.
Ist it possible to search for telephon numbers of my contacts in the addressbook.app?
Thanks

I'm able to search for phone numbers successfully while in the Address Book. I also used Spotlight outside of the Address Book to retrieve the information Perhaps you need to rebuild your index.

I have lost my I phone5 amd I have enabled lost mode. But still I can't find out where it could be and I cloud search gives offline signal. If the thief turns on my phone is it possible to find out my phone or given any signal for me? is it possible for the thief to use or sell my I phone even it is on the locked mode by ICloud?

If it is turned on and your lock request is able to be fulfilled, a confirmation email will be sent to your Apple ID email address. There isn't any known way to bypass Activation Lock on your phone so no one will be able to use it. More information on Lost Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2700

Why does my I phone 3 keep searching for signal

Why does my I phone3 keep searching for a signal

Hi jodierigby,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps you can take if your iPhone is unexpectedly powering off:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Cheers,
- Ari

Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

Does the device get any signal?
Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure. If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.
