SOS only, No Service and searching for network

Need help!! Very little beer spilled on my iPhone 4 where the speaker and front camera is and was wiped try immediately. It was still working fine after the incident for a few days however, suddenly the iPhone started playing up and losing reception and now its started showing SOS only then it says No Service and switches back and forth from No Service to searching.
I've tried...
Turing on/off airplane mode
Taking SIM out then putting it back in
Putting another SIM in iPhone both Telstra SIM and Optus
Putting iphone in container of rice for hours
Restore network settings
Hard reset iphone (holding sleep/home key)
Updating iTunes version
Sync -> back up iPhone -> restore iphone -> sync and back up iPhone from previous back up's -> restore back up again just to be on the safe side but there's no change and keeps switching from No Service to searching.
Telstra is not sure whats wrong and has advised to take it to Apple or Telstra store for assessment and sent of to get fixed.
Does anyone know why this is happening or what I can do to fix it without having to fork out money if possible as not covered by warranty anymore.

Disregard this post, I have resolved my issue, thank you

  • IPad 3 keeps rebooting and searching for network

    Hello,
    I have an iPad 3 and after upgrading to ios7 not it keeps rebboting every five minuites and searching for network all the time.
    i tried to reset all setting then hard reset then i did a restore for the device now when it open it keeps in the activating mode and searching for networks also and restarting after 5 minuites.
    Please someone help me urgently.

    Restore as new (not from a backup) and test. If the problem continues, time to seek a Genius Bar appointment.

  • My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do?  Read more: My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list

    My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do?

    Yes, that kind of tallies with my experience ... after 3 days of useless iPhone 3G (BTW, killing 3G on the phone and relying on acquiring AT&T 2G didn't help, it still locked onto T-Mobile with the result that it was draining battery and rebooting frequently!), I ended up visiting the local Apple Store.
    Although the visit was not to resolve the iPhone problem, whilst there I happened to cycle the phone and due to the store having a local AT&T cell, the strength of the local signal meant that I finally re-acquired a AT&T 3G signal ... once locked on again the phone was fine for the next day.
    Nett outcome of this is that I would prefer to lay most of the blame for this debacle on the poor state of 3G support both by AT&T (and US carriers in general), maybe exacerbated in my case by two related events (the local DNC in Denver, which saturated local AT&T cells including 3G and a proliferation of v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 firmwares on iPhones in town, which dragged cell coverage into the weeds).
    It would be nice for future sanity if AT&T and T-Mobile could at least resolve the ability to acquire/release the iPhone gracefully, otherwise I'll be very sceptical of travelling back to the US with only my iPhone, as a self-employeed consultant I can't afford to be out of touch for three days again!

  • Blackberry Pearl keeps turning itself on and off then searching for network...........

    Hi people, not sure if anybody can help however I have a Blackberry Pearl 9105 and for the past 2 weeks its keeps turning itself off and on and also keeps saying 'searching for network' at random times.  I therefore thought it may require a new battery so brought a new battery - was fine for 5 hrs and then started doing it again!
    Any ideas on what it could be please...............it is quite old now and am due an upgrade at the end of August which is so annoying.  Vodafone won't let me upgrade early either.  If no-one knows am going into a vodafone store on Saturday to see of they can test it!
    But I'm so lost without it - I have brought a cheap emergency mobile however I miss my blackberry!!
    Thanking you in advance!

    Hey zmblake,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest to do a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320, please test before restoring any data to the device.
    If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)

    If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
    Thank you

  • I turned my iPhone 4s on this morning and  it has been 'searching' for network ever since. I have this problem a lot and it sometimes takes 24 hours  to get my network (O2) - anything I can do?

    I turned my iPhone 4s on this morning and  it has been 'searching' for network ever since. I have this problem a lot and it sometimes takes 24 hours  to get my network (O2) - anything I can do?

    I had this problem when I first had the phone in January which resulted in a new handset. It only seems to happen after my phone gets turned off and/or battery dies and I turn it back on......nightmare!!  O2 weren't a great deal of help last time - took nearly 3 weeks before they agreed to send a new handset.  Thanks for your advice

  • TS4611 I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also after 3 meters away it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issue. Will Apple ever come up with a solution?

    I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also, after 3 meters away from the rooter it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issues. Will Apple ever come up with a solution? There is a program pack for the connection issue but I cannot believe that this computer wifi keeps connected only while nearby the rooter!

    Applied this update?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4611?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If the update is installed aready, you may have to wait until OS X 10.8.5
    update if and when it is relased.
    Best.

  • My iphone says searching for network, and I don't have any sim card on it. What can I do?

    I just bought a new iphone, It doesn't has any sim card putted on it, but on the left upper corner it says searching for network, and I cannot activate this.. What can I do?

    ive got the same prob on my 4s i usually have to hard reboot a couple tims with no sim
    steps i go through
    1. turn on airplane mode
    take out sim
    2. hard reboot
    3.turn back on then turn off airplane a couple a times if didnt work 1st time
    another way that worked for me is turn on airplane mode then reset network settings and reboot with out sim in
    but the longest this worked for me was maybe 3 or 4 days  it a temp fix.. it just went to searching again about 5 mins ago and i used my first way to fix it, get it  to say no sim and then i put sim back in. note it has to say no sim when its on the way to be working

  • I am trying to hook up my Airport Express to my current network and AirPort Extreme but keep getting the same error message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."

    I am trying to hook up my Airport Express to my current network and AirPort Extreme but keep getting the same error message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." Any thoughts?

    This sounds as if you have an older AirPort Express that is no longer supported by the newer Mavericks operating system.
    To check and see if  that might be the case, locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Hard to see in the faint print.....so you may need reading glasses or a magnifying class to see the model number clearly.
    Model numbers A1084 and A1088 of the AirPort Express are no longer supported by AirPort Utility in Mavericks.
    You will need to use a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to administer the older AirPort Express.

  • I phone is keeping searching for network even if i take the Sim out and i did reset but no use also it cant make software update - and the modem firmware has no number also

    i phone is keeping searching for network even if i take the Sim out and i did reset but no use also it cant make software update - and the modem firmware has no number also

    Either your phone is broken, or it was jailbroken. You can try a DFU restore.

  • IPad 3 searching for network with no sim and restarting again and again

    My iPad 3 is searching for network again and again without any sim. I did a full restore, but no avail. In addition to this, it keeps restarting on its own.
    After restoring, it is stuck at the intro page because of continuous restarting
    Please Help.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Rebooting your iDevice
    Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The device should begin to start up.

  • Searching for Network / SIM card blocked - help please!!

    I have just purchased an 8700c from a reputable eBay seller from whom I have previously purchased other items.
    The 8700c was advertised as Unlocked without a SIM card.
    I have never owned a Blackberry before and am just getting familiar with it.
    When I click icon to 'Turn Wireless On' and press the Phone key then at top of screen displays "Searching for Network".
    After a minute or so displays "No Service".
    I bought the 8700c because one day my previous mobile phone did exactly the same thing.
    After an hour on my landline phone with the phone company they assured me the GSM network was functional in my area and suggested my old phone was faulty.
    Not knowing if the phone itself had just died or if fault was with the SIM card I took it to the local branch of the telco.
    One of the guys there swapped his SIM card into my phone and had same problem - hence phone faulty.
    Thinking about it later I realised that it didn't prove there wasn't also a problem with my SIM card but I thought it unlikely so decided to buy a new phone.
    Anyway, received the 8700c yesterday and have inserted my old SIM card, been reading manual, etc.
    Whilst learning how to use it I've been asked several times to enter a password.
    Assuming this was the PIN/password I had on my old phone to prevent use in case I lost the phone, I entered it and it was accepted without any error/warning.
    So I thought I was right in believing the PIN/password was stored on the SIM and not another code, maybe in some EPROM memory in the old phone - I'm not so sure now.
    Doing a Google search I've found mention of various PIN/PIN2/PUK/PUK2 codes used in mobile phones which, if not used correctly, can cause the phone to be locked permanently.
    Here's current information I've found on the 8700c:
    click icon Settings / Options / Status shows
          PIN:      {8 alphanumeric code}
          IMEI:     { 6 digits .00. 6 digits .5}      i.e 15 digits and 3 periods
    click icon Settings / Options / Advanced Options / SIM Card shows
          SIM Card: Blocked
          ID:     {20 digit number}
    click icon Phone shows
          My Number: Unknown
    click again to see list of items, scroll down to Options
    click again to see list of items headed Phone Options
    click on General Options
    the 'Show "My Number":' line has value Yes
    click icon Settings / Options / Network shows
          Network: * None *
          Network Selection Mode: Automatic
    click again to see list of items, scroll to My Preferred Network List
    click again to see one item which is GSM network associated with my old phone
    So it seems this has been found from the SIM card.
    The top left hand side of screen shows 'cingular' but I think I read somewhere that this was just the network for which the 8700c was originally issued and doesn't detemine whether the 8700c is currently locked/unlocked.
    Is 'My Number' Unknown because the SIM card is Blocked?
    Is the SIM card Blocked because I entered my old PIN password instead of the Settings / Options / Status alphanumeric code PIN or some other PIN?
    How can I determine if the 8700c is really unlocked?
    Are there some other settings/options or anything else I should do so I can get connected to the network?
    Any thoughts would be very welcome.

    I am having exactly the same problem mate. Never used a Blackberry - received mine today from eBay (Didn't include a manual) and i have been trying to configure it with no luck. I can't connect to a Network/My SIM Card is blocked/My number is unknown - Even though my SIM works perfectly in my Sony Ericsson. Have no idea what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
