Iphone constantly asking for verification

So hello folks!

I have a problem. I have a new Iphone 5s and I activated Icloud and Find My Phone in the first place. No problems at all. Two weeks ago i was a wedding and put my phone into flight-mode during church. After that I turned flight-mode off and tried to take some pics. The horror: My phone tried to verify with my account but cellular data did not seem to be enough so it was asking for a wifi connection. I managed to solve the problem using my girls phone as a hotspot. It happened 3 time that day. Everytime my phone lost data connection (The wedding took place in a castle).

So I decided to turn off the find my phone feature, uninstalled the app, and de-registrated from icloud. It was fine that evening. But every now and then when my phone lost data connection, it is still asking for a wifi connection to verify my ID... total sh** to be honest. I allready checked everything, Icloud is definetly off and the phone is not protected by the find my phone stuff anymore.

Any suggestions what might cause the problem?

Thanks in advance fellas!

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4

I'm not sure what app you uninstalled, and I doubt that it would have mattered. It's probably asking for your ID because you have automatic app updates enabled in Settings/iTunes & App Store, and it is asking your your Apple ID to verify the download of an update. You should be able to just tap Cancel if you see this message. You can also turn off automatic updates.

This likely also has nothing to do with Find my iPhone.

Thx for your quick reply.

But: Automatic downloads are turned off. And you arent able to use the phone without entering your whole ID, it wont go beyond the verification screen. It looks like it is the safety feature so others cannot use my phone with their nano sim card without verifying that they are actually the owner of the phone. I mean it is a good feature, but if it constantely keeps asking for veryfication, but is not able to verify via mobile data plan, it is more annoying than helpful...

it is definetly the icloud activation lock screen. But I did turn THAT off, definetly.

If I check it on this site: https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/ , it says no NO account is connected with my phone. It was connected, but after the wedding I turned it off.

Annoying as ****

It is this screen. I can unlock my SIM card though, but cannot activate the phone via mobile data.

"This iPhone is currently linked to an apple ID (xxxxxxxx)...."

Does the Address in the brackets match your Apple ID?

Yes it is mine. As I already mentioned I used to use this activation with icloud, but I deactivated it.

Sounds like the deactivation of Find my iPhone didn't take properly. I'd suggest taking it in to see a Genius at an Apple Retail Store.

Short of a full reset/wipe of the phone and starting over.

iPhone 6,2 is the model ID number

It looks like you're getting CRC errors - this could be corrupt / damaged storage or some other hardware issue causing the CPU to panick. I suggest opening a support case with Apple or dropping into an Apple Retail store to see a Genius.

As I bought it from a retailer for refurbished phones I guess I have to deal with them... Is there an Apple website explaining the different error codes?

The error codes are not understandable by us Mere mortals. However, the CRC/NAND error indicates a hardware failure writing to storage. You say the phone is refurbished. By whom? Apple does not sell refurbished phones, so it wasn't by Apple. If a 3rd party did it you do not have a genuine iPhone, as Apple also doesn't sell parts. It was probably assembled from scavenged parts.

I guess they mean they just check whether the phone functions well and clean it on the outside.
