iPhone 4S keeps searching after screen replacement

iPhone 4S keeps searching after screen replacement

I recently replaced my iPhone 4S front screen. Now it keeps saying "searching" when I start the phone up. Removing the sim card doesn't make any difference, but I noticed that the iPhone didn't ask for code when I replace sim card.

"Here are some troubleshooting tricks to try:

1.)Call the phone

2.) Make an outgoing call from the phone

3.) Set date/time

4.) Remove your sim card and try using the phone with a different sim card.

5.) Put your sim card in someone else's phone.

6.) Reset the phone, letting it ""reboot"" for 10 minutes.

Thankfully the IOS 6.0.1 that has just came out, hopfully that has fixed the bug"

"Plug the device in without the sim card, and go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Network Settings.

Let the device reboot, and once complete and no sim is displayed, you can put your sim card back in and all should be fine."

"Do you have the new IOS6 update???

If so, just use another phone to call your mobile. Not sure why this works but i haved now repaired 6 4s with this new update and after i repaired them they all had the searching come up, now i just call the number and it kinda like resets the reception.

hope this helps"

"I had to look this up for a friends phone 'searching' had suspected the antenna had ben unplugged but it was on OK. I noticed time was not changing.

phone had already been left alone for more than 10 mins

I tried Reinsert sim = nothing

I tried reset = nothing

I tried plug it in = nothing

I tried calling out = nothing

i tried calling the phone = nothing

I turned on Wi-Fi & connected = time change instantly, then the searching changed to the network & full signal.

:-) thanks to the others that help on here. you are legends
