No signal on iPhone 4S, weird problem!

vvvery great .... here is the solution!!!!! :-)

first: jailbreak the Iphone 4s hihihihihi

second: install sbssettings ..... :-)

third: disable 3G

..... of course you lost your guarantee because of the jailbreaking ..... but the phone will at least work well!!!!!

..... and all the money you spent for a phone that can make calls .... yes, .... you can make calls!!!!! :-)

Hold down home and off for couple of seconds which will re-boot. This worked for me. Went through 4 sims and then did this. Hope it works for you

Hi,

I am also facing the same "No service issue". I am located in KSA.

My iphone4S version is 5.0.1(9A406). I done all possible things like upgraded to 5.1

Then degraded to 5.0.1(9A406), as my earlier version was 5.0.1(9A405), as one discussion thread was saying that it may fix the problem.

I tried also all three carrier's sim like STC, ZAIN and Mobily.

with Zain sim situation is the worst.

Any idea as this is a software issue or a real hardware problem for the particular phone device ??

So, iphone4S is an idevice, but not a phone as it is not working as a phone..

Last three months I am struggling with issue..(So i am using Nokia phone as my phone!!..)

Experts please let me know any tips or tricks so that we can fix this..?

oh!!! i though that as nobody came to post after the release of the 5.1 that all the Iphone should be ok now!! ouch not a good news!!! i'm not upgrade yet because still not have my iphone with me since 2 weeks so i don't kno for my part if the upgrade change or resolve the problem

call Apple care service...even if...ah just try and try again...

am still gettign a user per week asking about this issue, most times the 30 second power off and big button reset works. we have had more people get replacements only to have it happen again with a replacement

I guess the dual antenaes dont do any good and is a internal phone issue as it always has been

.... tomorrow i will go to an Apple Support center .... maybe Apple will change the 4S for the second time ..... i hope i will be able to have at least a phone that is able to make calls!!!! this is my forst Apple Phone ...... im not sure if i will buy another one in the future!!!!

I am also having very bad experience with connectivity. It is evident by comparision with my previous phone. I have paid 4 times more for a phone and I am not getting good enough experience as my previous phone, forget about better experience.

just this past 2 weeks we had to return 4 of teh 4s for this issue.

2 of the replacements had to be relaoded again when the 2 button reset did nothing.

This is just a royal PAIN to deal with.

Open up the back of the phone with a little screw driver you can purchase through amazon. Then you will see a wire that runs up to a circular sliver thing. Then push down on this you should here a click that means that the attena was dissconnected and you reconnected it. After that back to gather. Should work and does not void warranty trust me I returned my phones a lot. Comment if you need help

This is bad advice. Opening the phone does void the warranty. There are anti-tamper seals inside the phone. Apple can tell if you've opened it. If they discover you have, the warranty is void.

Hi everyone

I've been stressed over my iPhone 4S that keeps searching for carrier

I've tried everything but nothing worked 😟

If I turn off the iPhone for 24 hours, it works like normal but then, back again.

Keeps searching for carrier

I don't know what to do, anyone please help me. My dad bought that for me nearly $770 and I feel extremely sad because that expensive phone is useless 😟

If you haven't done something stupid like jailbreak it or open it up, it is under warranty. Take it in to the Apple Store and get it replaced.

still having this issue, there is no fix yet

wonder if iphone 5 will have this same glitch
