So i found all these wonderful wacky "bash it" experiences - and said to myself well, if i smash it it's my own fault and the phone is "beyond repair" anyhow!! I said i need to think about it, left there upset and feeling conned! Good day everyone! Manchester UK and !&* YEAH it worked!!! Same problem here, mo carrier services, device constantly displaying searching mode out if the blue - I spent an hr on the phone with Apple without a resolution then they sent me to their store which was busy and on a conveyor belt and the guy opened my sim card locket, pretended he looked inside with an expert eye and said i have water damage! I said to him how is it possible that my phone works on all other functions and wi fi etc - he said the phone cannot be repaired and since it's out of warranty i could get a new one for £200. My phone was loosing signal, and saying "Searching" for weeks, and after this it is working 100%! This tightens the SIM card very slightly but just enough to keep it tight to the gold connectors. Do this carefully and make sure the paper doesn't crinkle/fold in half. The simple fix for this is to take a sheet of printer paper and cut it the exact size of your nano-SIM card and place it on the plastic side of your SIM card which faces up and then insert it. This provides the SIM card with a hairlike gap to wiggle around in. The sim slot in the iPhone 6 can get deformed by slight bending in the phone. DFU restored, everything, it still continued.Ģ)Cellular settings being changed had no effect on the signal.ģ) Hardware was the obvious in this case because "smacking" the phone caused it to regain signal.Ī few days later I noticed my phone said "NO SIM" and started to think.

None of this worked.ġ) Software wasn't the issue. I replaced the Lightning Charging Assembly which included a cellular antenna, cleaned all the grounding points in the case, and replaced the antenna flex ribbon. Searching hours on google to find an answer. But after a reset the carrier was back! This also seemed to be a common problem. After closing the phone it kept searching for a network for a day.


It supposed to stick to the antenna cable exactly below the ear speaker, and the lcd unit pushes this cable down, probably making electrical contact somewhere. The second time I opened the phone, I found that a little soft pad that looked like it has melted from its place. At first I couldn't find anything after checking various components (wifi cables, docking antenna or whatever that all was).

Price: 180 euros! I couldn't believe the problem was the back housing but more likely a dodgy connection. A repair shop told me I needed to replace the complete back housing. When bending the phone (it actually was a little bit bend) signal came back for a minute or a week.
