"Hi All,

I had almost the same problem with my iPhone 4.

After water damage I couldn't make calls, WI-FI worked OK, but I first get only 2 bars in signal icon and after that all bars shows up but I still couldn't make any calls. Call screen frizzes when I try to hang up (no voice on the speaker too). When someone try to call me it give him ring signal but my iPhone didn't show anything. When I try to call someone his phone rings but he couldn't hear me (neither do I).

I solve the problem using contact spray (DRY OIL-FREE CLEANING SPRAY; PRF 6-68) on the antenna screw and antenna connector and also on the ""blue signal coil"".

I let it dries and assembly my phone. After this operation everything works fine.

THANK YOU for your help Simon and Craig !!! I hope this will help anyone who has similar problems."

"This would totally make sense. I have cleaned my iPhone 5s board with my ultrasonic cleaner fitted and new screen and battery. Working fine for a good 10 days then i lost signal always searching for a signal. Time for me to dissemble the phone again and replace the screws.

Cheers"
