Chosen Solution

Hi there, My iPhone 6 shows searching or no service all the time. Before you say it i’ve tried:

  1. Resetting the network settings
  2. Resetting the phone
  3. DFU hard reset and restore
  4. Changing the antenna flex
  5. Changing the charger port,
  6. Changing the antenna bridge coaxial
  7. Airplane mode on and off
  8. ‘dropping device’ (don’t understand how that would work LOL)
  9. cleaning connectors with PCB My phone is able to manually find the networks but regardless when you connect to them still says no service or searching. It can see the IMEI and modern firmware (which apparently could suggest it might not be a IC issue) and wifi and bluetooth works perfectly. If anyone can help me further that would be great. PS - Sim works in another device and phone is able to detect that there is a sim inside the phone. Further the device is locked to EE and is not iCloud locked or Blacklisted.

Solaire, United Kingdom UPDATE it found the network for 5min however was still unable to make a phone call. Then went back to ‘No Service’ when i troubled it :(

When you type *#06# into the dialer, is the IMEI displayed? Issue could be that the PM8019 baseband power management IC needs to be replaced by someone that does microsoldering as you see IMEI and modem firmware in the settings section. Since the issue is intermittent, it’s most likely baseband board issue.

This is an extremely common issue, I’ve tried all you have tried and more, the only solution i have found to fix it involves micro-soldering. You have to “rehash” the service module on the actual phone which is an absolute pain in the ass, your honestly better off putting your money towards a new phone, the only other solution i have had work is to remove/re-insert the sim card about 80 times until it picks up signal

I have a very strange experience as well. Replaced the dock connector had no problems whatsoever for almost 2 weeks, now started all over again. Yesterday no signal, no imei when typing *#06#, carrier setting disappeared. Today gave it another try, put sim-card in and had signal immediatly only odd thing, the carrier setting still missing, I can make phone calls, everything seems alright. when typing *#06# it shows imei…. Since I don’t really trust it now, I wanted to hear what you’d suggest? Is it possible, that the baseband ic sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t? regards and thanks.

I have the same problem. And, like most folks here, I have tried pretty much everything from changing the charging dock to moving the mainboard to another working frame. The phone would work for a few days then mysteriously goes into the searching mode, then eventually no service. The software is up to date; the phone has been fully and network reset so many times but the problem persists. The temporary solution I have found is that whenever the phone loses the connection, I would open the phone up and unplug the charging dock connector and wait a few minutes before reconnecting it, then the phone would work again. Not a very ideal fix but it works.

Changing the charging dock worked like a charm!
