Updated my iphone4 to iOS5 can't make/recieve calls, text messages and screen flashes on/off

i updated my iphone 4 to iOS5 few days ago then all of a sudden i just found out im not getting all my incoming calls. then when i tried to make outside call, its not working either and it hungs. I turned the phone on/off and hard reset, still im getting the same problem. Then later on the screen started flashing/blinking on and off. Looks like its going to crash!! Eventually, after couple of hours it just work back to normal till the next day. So now, im having the same scenario all over again. Could anyone please help and would give me any idea why is this happening? Aprreciate your kind assistance.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
From your description, it sounds as if your device itself has somehow failed. My opinion is that your formal support channel is what you need to use -- via your carrier.
Good luck!

I can't save photos from text messages and cannot access keyboard

does anyone know why i can't save pictures from text messages received and why i am unable to access my keyboard to type out messages?

When you press and hold on the picture...it does not give you an option to save the image? Also for the keyboard issue...go into settings/application manager(it may also say apps/manage apps). At the top scroll over and select all. Scroll down and find messaging and tap on it. If you have an option to clear data and force stop then select them(it wont delete anything). Once done go back in the list and see if you also have anything that says keyboard or android keyboard and do the clear data/force stop on that also.

I have an iPhone 4S and I can't make outgoing calls, texts or receive any texts or calls.

Hi my Iphone 4S today wasn't able to make calls or send texts. When trying to dial it wouldn't give back a ring tone despite me having full bars. I turned the phone off and back on hoping to resolve the call service. It didn't work. At that point I called AT&T and they said I should have service. I checked with others with Iphones and they all were working so I know for a fact it isn't AT&T. I then decided to reset the entire phone to its original state. After that I hooked it up to Itunes and put my backup file back on. At this point the phone began to work again but then two hours later it did the same exact thing and I'm unable to text or call. I don't want to keep reseting it and reinstalling my backup as it is time consuming and a chore for such a short amount of time. I read some other posts and they blame 5.0.1 for the problem. I don't know if there is any facts to those posts. Does anyone know if Apple has come out and said that the new update has bugs? Or could it be that my phone is defective? I appreciate all of your help.

You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

Droid X can't make/receive calls/texts from home

I've been experiencing problems with my phone for about 2 days now. I can't use it to make calls or texts and I don't get any from anyone either. If I literally drive 2 miles down the road, the phone works. I've tried to reset it using *228 and update the roaming settings. I've taken the battery out while the phone is on, and even manually powered it down, but nothing works. The phone shows I have full signal strength until I actually make a call, then the bars disappear and the call never connects. The same thing happens when I try to send a text; it just never sends. I can connect to the internet, so there's no problems there. I appreciate any help.

Hello chinesesnowplow
Wow! That's very upsetting not being able to call or text from your home. Let's get to the bottom of this immediately.
Are you still experiencing the issue? Are there any other devices having this same problem in your home? Did this start after a particular application was downloaded? Please place the device in airplane mode. Go to Menu> Settings> Wireless & network settings> then check mark airplane mode until the signal changes. Then uncheck airplane mode and retest.
Please let me know if this helps, if not I would be glad to further troubleshoot with you.
Thank you

Iphone 5 can't make/receive calls/text (possibly 2g issue)

Hi,
Just obtained an iPhone 5 on t-mobile. Everything seems to be working fine including 3g network/wifi. However, I can't make/receive any calls. I get full reception, EE written on the top left but outgoing calls always fail. Incoming calls also fail. I've checked with t-mobile, my SIM is fully activated and have also successfully tested my SIM in another iPhone 5.
I've tried Apple's troubleshooting assistant here http://www.apple.com/uk/support/iphone/assistant/calls/. None of these worked.
I've got an appointment booked in with Apple on the 14th but was hoping there might be a quick fix I can sort myself before then. Is anyone else having this issue?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Yasin

You restore the phone as new to get rid of the passcode.

Can't receive long (2part) text messages and Picture messages say they were sent be they aren't

I can't receive long (2 part) text messages, I only receive the first part or the second part but never the entire text. Also my picture messaging is unpredictable, sometimes I can send them sometimes I can't, it always tells me they were sent but the receiver doesn't always get them. Do I have to change something in my settings to fix these problems?
Thanks
Amy

My phone has also stopped receiving long texts, (2 part messages). It has now started to receive only part 2. If you find a way to resolve this i would like to know too. Thanks shan

I have updated my iPhone4 to ios5. tried using the photo lib, camera roll and creating new albums. I have also transferred photos to the new album and it great.Is there a way to delete a photo in a single album and not everywhere?

Hoping to get an answer

You can sync photos from your computer via iTunes, and each folder that you sync will get its own album : syncing photos. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync.
In terms of albums that you create directly on the iPad no, effectively you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you delete the original photo you will therefore also be deleting all pointers to it.
You could consider a third-party photo management app instead e.g. Photo Manager Pro

How can I make names appear on Messages and not numbers?

When I use Messages, instead of my conatcts's names all I get is their numbers. I have a second laptop (MacBook Air) and there I get the names correctly. I checked the configuration in Preferences to make sure it's the same. Still I can't figure it out. Anybody please?
Thanks,

Can't make/recieve calls, can't run OS Doctor

I seem to be having the problem all of a sudden where my Pre isn't making or taking calls, and I tried running WebOS doctor but when I clicked the download button, I got the "404" error. I have the updated version of Java, so that's not the issue, but I can't figure out what is. So what do I do now?
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Given what you describe, I believe you need to ring up Vodafone...it's their system your BB needs to connect to, and for some reason it cannot. Only they can look "behind the scenes" to see what is going on.
Good luck!

Network lost - Can't make phone calls, texts etc

Please help
I have an iphone 4, and over the last week I have had a problem pop up that says "network lost" and how I need to choose another carrier. I have done all suggestions to solve it (reset the network, turn on 3G etc etc) but nothing has helped.
I'm with orange EE and not only was the signal bad before but now I have basically no phone.
To solve the issue I borrowed another iphone 4 off of a friend, and after 4 days or so of having it, on the train back from London today it began to get "No Service" and "Searching..." and now I get the same pop up?
Please can someone help me solve this, before I change my network and switch to Samsung!!!!!!!!

You can try a hard reset by holding down the home button and the lock button at the same time until the apple appears. If that doesn't work I think you should definitely go into an apple store.

Hello brendagail,
Thank you for posting in our community! I know the importance of knowing your options for viewing text message content. Our children have phones and communicate primarily via text.
As SydneyK and budone advised, due to privacy laws, text message content is not available to view online. You are able to view text message times, dates, and the to/from numbers by signing into your My Verizon Account using the steps that AZSALUKI provided.
Please let us know if you have further questions.

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data doing a reset.
If this does not work, set it up again as new device, without using the latest backup afterwards.

I have 10.5.8 and i'd like to update to Lion but I haven't the app store avaiable to my sistem and I can find the atualization. At the software update doesn't have any atualization... I updated my iphone4 to IOS5 and having problems to use ICloud

As Retired Engineer indicated, you will need to install Snow Leopard first. After you install Snow Leopard, you need to go into Software Update and perform the updates. 10.6.6 will install the App Store. You should continue to update to 10.6.8 before purchasing and installing Lion from the App Store.
Be sure your machine meets the minimum requirements. Basically, any Mac with a Core 2 Duo processor or later and at least 2GB of RAM (but 4 is highly recommended). If you have a first generation MacBook Pro with a Core Duo, you will not be able to upgrade to Lion.
