Title: Iphone4S Problem !
Post by: garrardrj on December 16, 2013, 06:37:11 pm: Any help appreciated

Phone is fully charged but when it was unplugged it turns off , it will only show the front lock screen and will not find any service and continues to say "Searching"

It nevers finds any network etc

Now i have tried all reset restore things found on the internet without any change or success

Anybody got any other suggestions on what to do , the Apple Support Centre is 50 miles away and you have to book a Genius Bar appointment , so a shortcut would be fantastic :smiley:

Have you backed up and factory restored the phone?

How does this explain not getting past the lock screen?
