I was having battery issues with my iPhone 5. Took it to the apple store and they replaced the battery. It wouldn't activate in the store, and it was getting late so I left and am trying to fix the issue with Verizon over the phone.
The carrier status spot just said "searching" and never found a signal. I reset everything, restored the phone as new, connected it to iTunes... Basically nothing works and now I can't even get to the home screen. Any other suggestions? I also took out the Sim card and reinstalled it. I tried to activate it with Verizon as well, they said they couldn't figure it out. I'll take it back to apple tomorrow night if I have to, but wanted to get the phone working for tomorrow on my own if possible.
