Chosen Solution

Recently my phone stopped getting a signal. Having no memory of dropping it, bumping into something with the phone in pocket, or placing it near any liquids, I can’t figure out why the phone says “No Service”. Accessing Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Networks>Network Operators, and selecting “Search Networks” result in finding either AT&T or no carrier at all. However, tapping the bottom right corner of the phone (Front Side) gently, on something such as the inner part of the knee, sometimes enables the phone to acquire a network connection. Strangely, placing a call while the phone is connected to a network will put it back in the “No Service” state after only a few seconds, while texting or simply leaving it be will allow it to remain in service much longer. Is there a solution??

While this may sound like a hardware related problem, we must also look at the software side. What you’re describing sounds like an issue with the radio. Is your phone rooted? If so, are you running a custom ROM? It could be that you’re running an incompatible radio and it’s causing issues with your signal.

Try a new sim card, whenever I’ve had a problem like this it’s because the SIM is bad.

Jailbreaking is done to 1. Unlock the bootloader so that unsigned system code (other OSes, iOS downgrades) may be run, 2. Enable sideloading of applications from sources outside of the iOS or other “app store”, and 3. Gain UID 0 (root) access. On Android, “rooting” is almost always #3 by itself. The vast majority of Android phones already have bootloaders that will happily load kernels and OSes not cryptographically signed by the device manufacturer. In the few cases they are “bootloader locked”, unlocking can often be done simply by using an official utility from the device manufacturer. Just as well, the vast majority of Android devices have the capability to install sideloaded applications. “Enabling” this feature in these devices is as simple as checking a option in the system settings. In short, we distinguish “rooting” from “jailbreaking” because “jailbreaking” always encompasses all three whereas “rooting” rarely involves anything outside of #3.

My phone quit getting signal and went to no service a little over 3 hours ago, my fiancé and I did everything we could to figure out why but we cant
