My iPhone 4S has been having Wi-Fi problems ever since I updated to iOS 5.1???

Ever since I got my iPhone 4S it was working perfectly. The day I updated to iOS 5.1 it started having Wi-Fi issues. The Wi-Fi was working and on my iPhone it wasn't even connecting to the network. I called Verizon and they tried troubleshooting it and still it didn't work. They then sent me a new iPhone 4S for free. It was working perfectly. Then I updated to iOS 5.1 (it came with iOS 5.0.1) and then it started having the Wi-Fi problem again. My dad's phone hasn't been having that problem. And he updated to iOS 5.1. Is this a software problem or is it a problem with the iPhone's hardware??? Like the Wi-Fi antenna or something like that. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.

Ok I think it's a problem with my router. I went to my cousin's house and the Wi-Fi worked there perfectly. I was even able to download many apps. So I guess my router probably can't take in more connections. Oh well thanks anyway.

    Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times, it still doesn't work.

    Greetings Blueleoapple,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with Safari. You may want to consider resetting your device, which is different from restarting. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Hi, my iPhone 4 has been having difficulty in updating apps.

    Hi, my iPhone 4 has been having difficulty in updating apps even after several "retrys". It says "can't be updated at this time". Please help, thanks!

    If you suspect that the audio is going to some AirPlay device, turn off AirPlay or simply change the output source from this mystery device to the iPhone.
    Changing the output can be done in the audio app (music, Podcasts, etc) or video app or Control Center.
    AirPlay can be turned off by simply turing off Wi-Fi.

  • My iPhone 4 has been having trouble charging.

    My iPhone 4 had been having trouble charging for a while so i switched cords thinking that was the problem. That worked for a while then i kept having to switch cords every few days or it wouldnt work. As of last night my phone wont charge with any cord in any computer or in the wall or my car. I got frustrated so i turned it off hoping to preserve what little battery life i had left. When i turned it back on i noticed it had charged! The charge doesnt last as long as it normally did but it still works. When its plugged into the computer and turned on it doesnt recognise that its plugged into anything and doesnt start syncing or charging but if i go into iTunes it recognises the device is connected and i can manually sync my phone as long as it is on. Do i need to replace the charging port? Does the battery also need replaced? Has anyone else had this happen?

    Sounds like the iPhone has a hardware problem with the battery, with the charging port, or both.

    Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
    There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
    And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
    Good luck.

  • Itunes won't register my Iphone 5's existence when the computer does ever since I updated, HELP!

    After trying practically everything the apple sync troubleshooting page, Itunes still will not give me the phone icon to explore the files on my iphone ever since i updated to the new itunes. I can explore my pictures on the phone through my file explorer on my laptop, but as for itunes, absolutely nothing. My phone's only flaws are a broken power button and a few scratches. HELP!

    I can't even establish the first initial connection with the USB cable that would allow me to sync via wifi. When I plug my phone in, the computer registers it, and I can explore using the file explorer on my computer, and I have deleted, re installed, and restarted iTunes, but no matter what I do, Itunes doesn't even register on the diagnostics that I have a phone plugged in.

  • I have been having this problem many times ever since I updated to iOS 7.

    My music will not sync and it's really annoying. I have tried many things but nothing will work. I even restored my iPod and still nothing. I don't know if its my iPod or just my iTunes. Can someone please help because I'm getting really tired of this and nothing working out. This has happen multiple times before too.

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. You did not say the type of restore you performed.            
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5, sometimes when I press the home button just once it will open the app switcher or even the assistive button. Anyone else have this problem? Is it an iOS 8 glitch? Please help - very annoying.

    I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 yesterday and now when I press the home button even once, it opens the app switcher (which is supposed to only open after pressing the home button twice quickly). Sometimes pressing the home button once even brings up the assistive button (which for me should take three button presses). This did not happen before I updated my software. Has anyone else had this issue? Know how to stop it? Very annoying and at this point feel like I should have waited before I did the update.

    Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
    this problem occurs when there is a short circuit  in the phone... you  most likely got  it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly  oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone  is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
    the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..

  • I have an unlocked iPhone 3GS and ever since I updated to iOs 6 I can't send/receive MMS

    This is absolutely about to make me have to leave iphone if I can't figure this out. I can recieve picture messages when im in iMessage but is useless for people without iPhones. I can't recieve any media messages out of iMessage just texts. This problem first started occuring when I updated, never had any problems before.

    I am having the same problem but cannot get anything but the actual phone to work.  I have a unlocked 3GS running 6.0 (what was I thinking?).  No data whatsoever, no texting, no visual voicemail.  I simply cannot access the APN settings.  I have tried sim swap, I have tried APN changers.  I have been on the phone with ST tech support for hours and hours.  I have tried to get the answers from a "genius".  I am stuck and looking at Android devices, but would really like to keep using the iphone with Straight Talk.

  • My iPhone 4S has not backed up to iCloud ever since I installed iOS7.

    I seem to have all of the proper settings in Settings. I have tried backing up explicitly by selecting "Back up now" in Settings > iCloud > Storage & backup. It acted as though it were backing up but after it was done, iTunes still shows my latest cloud backup date as October 5, 2013, and today I got an alert on my iPhone that it has not been backed up in 5 weeks. WiFi is on, the iPhone is connected to a charger, and the phone is locked. What else do I need?
    I have 4.1 GB of available space in my iCloud account.
    What am I missing?

    If there is nothing 'new' to be backed up, then iCloud isn't going to overwrite the old backup with an exact duplicate.
    What is turned 'on' in your iCloud backup?  Add something new to your device (like a new Contact or Calendar for example), and then try the manual backup again.  Make sure you're connected to wi-fi and plugged into a power outlet. 

  • I can't seem to sync anything into my iphone 4 ever since i updated my ios 6 to ios 7

    Please help! What should i do?

    What exactly is happening?
    I would recommend you try either "Reset all Settings" or just reset your phone by holding the "Home" button and "Lock Screen" button at the same time until the silver apple pops up on your phone.
    I just had a problem last night where it wouldn't allow me to sync my iPhone 4 running iOS 7 so I went into my phone and selected "Erase All Content and Settings" then after that was finished it worked. I would check to see if you phone has synced at all recently before doing the above option.
