Help needed “No service” remains even after leaving a place with no service.

• Upvotes

So I went into a space with thick walls, so it went from 5G to no service. Makes sense, its Expected that deep into a building with big concrete walls that your phone struggles to connect to mobile data.

but now… even after leaving it doesn’t reconnect to mobile data. Ive turned off mobile data, I’ve turned off the phone etc etc. no service and asks me to demo the satellite.

This is on iPhone. For context, family member recently passed and I am trying to figure out a time frame. Anything past 12pm is me on the phone looking or someone calling. Can’t figure out what the gray is from 12-4isham. Also open to any other tips for what I can see other than step count and screen time that could help determine a time frame. Thanks in advance

Help needed iPhone 18 Pro Max Camera Won’t Focus on Close-Up Objects While Recording Video

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I recently got the iPhone 18 Pro Max IOS 27.0.1, and I’ve been having issues with the camera not focusing properly while recording videos.

For example, let’s say I’m recording a video of some scenery, and then I decide to get a close-up shot of flowers or another small object. When I physically move my phone closer to the subject, the camera doesn’t automatically refocus. Instead, everything becomes extremely blurry, and it stays that way.

I’m recording in 4K at 30 fps, and I was under the impression that the camera should automatically adjust its focus as I move closer to objects.

It’s especially frustrating because I want to be able to transition from wide shots to close-ups smoothly without having to manually tap the screen to refocus every time.

I’m not sure if this is caused by my camera settings, a software issue, or an actual problem with my iPhone’s camera.

Has anyone else experienced this with the iPhone 18 Pro Max? Is there a specific setting I should enable or disable to fix this?

Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!

My health app takes up 8GB of space and I am constantly running out of space on my device. I’ve gone through and individually deleted records (such as steps) and devices but this didn’t give me any more space. I deleted the entire app, but still had the space taken by “Health App Data”. I have no idea what to do or where to delete more stuff!!!

Hello everyone, like the title says I have an iPhone 14 Pro that randomly says it can’t charge because there is liquid, but both the phone and the charger are in a room where they aren’t exposed to water or other liquids… I’ve tried already cleaning the charger pin and restarting the phone but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t…

Thanks beforehand for your help 🙂

I am on T-Mobile. It does it randomly and will switch from primary to business or the other way around. It does it even though the conversation line is set to one or the other.

A few things that I’ve been told to try and already done.

-iMessage is enabled for both

-turned iMessage off and back on

-I’ve tried to allow data switching or not

-reset network configuration

-restarted phone

If anyone has a solution, I would be eternally grateful!

For context: I have never connected to these devices before and there is no ‚i‘ next to them to disconnect. ‚Lilou‘ is my car and is supposed to be connected.

Is there any way to disable bluetooth pairing without deactivating bluetooth as a whole?
It‘s very weird, my phone isn‘t supposed to connect to strangers devices right?

How do I get rid of this weird over exposure? This only happens at frame rate 120, but since yesterday - I always filmed like that. Adjusting manually while recording only makes the video darker, but the lighter parts are still overly exposed.

Help needed How to remove Child Setup without signing in or factory resetting?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I have an iPhone XS running iOS 18.7.10. I was able to sign in to the App Store normally before accidentally starting Child Setup in Settings. Since then, every attempt to sign in through the App Store redirects me to “Connect to Family.”

The device was previously bypassed, so signing in through Settings wasn't working normally in the first place. I've tried resetting Network Settings and All Settings, but the redirect persists. Choosing “Sign In With Another Account” leads to “Unable to Connect to Server.”

Is there a way to cancel the unfinished Child Setup state and restore normal App Store sign-in without signing in, erasing the device, or restoring iOS?

Help needed Unusual traffic while googling

1 Upvotes

Every now and then for the past day and a half now I have been getting the unusual traffic captcha google popup when I google something on my iPhone. I don’t even do the captcha and I just clear safari and then I am able to google, and even if I just close the tab, it seems to works too. It seems like some sort of glitch. I know its legitimately from google cause it just happens when I open safari and search something. I do not have VPN or private relay on. So far I have hard restarted my phone but that didn’t work, and I just restarted the wifi router so hopefully that will fix things. I am pretty sure its only been from my wifi not cellular though idk if anyone else in my household has been getting it though someone did just get a new phone I am thinking the usage on that new device is maybe flagging something? Should I be concerned about my device or if someone’s using the network? I think it is private.

Unresolved Is there a way to transfer my files data in a pc or a cloud?

4 Upvotes

For context I don’t have an iCloud subscription ( and it’s almost full ) and I can’t afford anything right now. The problem is I have a lot of important data in my files ( pictures and videos ) and I have no copy of it anywhere.
I already tried :
- saving them in photos then using 3u to put it on an external drive ( but they lag and I don’t know why the half of it doesn’t save in my photos I’m also low on storage )
- using 3u but files don’t show their data, or maybe I don’t know how to use it.
- moving them to drive but I always have the same problem, the half of it doesn’t save I don’t know why. Unless maybe I import them one by one but there is like 2k pictures and videos in it ( heavy videos also )
Does anyone have a way transfer all of it in another place/device/storage easily ? Thank you.

Help needed iPhone 17 Pro unexpectedly shut down and stayed off (iOS 27.0.1)

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone. My iPhone 17 Pro running iOS 27.0.1 unexpectedly switched off while I wasn’t using it. I had left it on a table while I slept, with approximately 60% charge. When I woke up, it was off and my alarm hadn’t gone off. My first attempt to turn it on with the side button produced no visible response. I then picked it up and tried again, and it started normally with the Apple logo. I only used the side button; no force restart or volume-button combination was needed. After starting, it still showed approximately 60% charge. I checked Analytics Data and couldn’t find a panic-full log corresponding to the incident. Earlier, I had used the phone for a demanding task that made it hot, but there was no temperature warning. I deliberately let it cool down until it felt cool again before leaving it on the table, and it was working normally afterwards. I’ve only observed this once so far, and it is currently working normally with no ongoing overheating. Has anyone with an iPhone 17, 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max experienced a similar shutdown where the phone stayed off until manually started? If so, which iOS version were you using, did it happen again, and did an update or Apple diagnostics reveal anything? Are there other analytics entries worth checking besides panic-full? Any follow-up experiences would be appreciated.

Resolved How to back up EVERYTHING?

10 Upvotes

So I’m getting a new phone. The problem is my dad doesn’t want me to transfer like a normal person onto my new phone. He wants me to reset my phone. Yes the iCloud backup does back stuff up but it logs me out of everything and I gotta manually log into everything. My cousin told me that I can do a computer backup and it will save everything. But he refuses to help me. What do I do? How can I back up everything?
