iPhone no service solutions

iPhone no service solutions

After hearing some problems about the iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 service problems and no service at all I thought I would inquire on the Internet to find some solutions. Here is a list of of iPhone no service solutions and steps that will hopefully fix the issue if your iPhone has no service. None of these are in particular order of what works the best so try some out and comment below on how you went.

 

iPhone no service solutions #1

A simple fix for iPhone no service is to simply restart the iPhone. Hold the power switch and home button together for 10 seconds. This is done in case you went into any signal dead areas, sometimes the iPhone will think it is still in the location where there is no signal and does not update the signal strength. This will restart your iPhone but you will not lose any media, contacts, data, etc.

 

 

iPhone no service solutions #2

This problem is widely known by iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S owners as the notorious service drop out caused by holding the iPhone antenna firmly. This is a design flaw on Apples behalf as when your holding the iPhone firmly it completes part of  the antenna  circuit through your hand and causes the signal to drop. The black lines that separate the aluminium antenna is meant to prevent this but can be problematic. The simplest way to bypass this is to use a iPhone case or bumper so that your hand does not touch the actual antenna.

 

 

iPhone no service solutions #3

According to a post by iphonehacks a sim card tray issue may be causing complete service drop off, partial drop off and slow download speeds. “The metal part of the sim card is not centered and is contacting the sim tray. The sim tray is steel and the sim tray is contacting the outer antenna band. Once you touch the phone, this could be causing a sim issue. If when you touch the antenna line on the lower left it changes the state of frequency, power or what ever, it might actually be messing with the sim card. The metal on the sim is connected to the sim tray, the sim tray is connected to the antenae and the antenae is connected to your hand when you touch the phone. Take a look at your sim card and see if the metal is just off center enough to touch the tray.”

iPhone 5 resemblance to TV remote

iPhone 5 resemblance to TV remote

iPhone 5 TV remoteAfter months of waiting for the new iPhone 5 release I was highly disappointed when it arrived. After seeing the already leaked photos of the new device of the aluminium backing and front I was truly hoping that this was not the new iPhone 5. But you cant always get what you want.  It seems that apple has lost there wow factor on this iPhone 5, on first impression I think of a TV remote from its long thin body design. I see no reason to buy this new iPhone 5 when it only has slight modifications from the previous iPhone 4S. Apple has always been known for providing products that the customer does not know they have a need for yet but this doesn’t seem to be the case with the new iPhone. I am now stuck in limbo as a potential smart phone customer, the Android market is starting to seem very appealing to me at the moment. I still haven’t given up on Apples consistency Read the rest of this entry »
