Wifi only works while charging (2G)

I previously thought that my WiFi was completely dead but it now appears to work perfectly when it's on charge. COuld this be a symptom of the battery needing replaced?

OK...I tell a lie. It used to work while charging. Now it IS completely dead

    You are still under warranty.  Either call iPod tech support - U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) or take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • Iphone 6 plus fingerprint is not working while charging

    My iphone 6 plus fingerprint scan is not working while charging. Is this normal?
    I tried my iphone 5s and it works just fine even while charging.

    I think I got an answer to my own question
    If you're using generic lightning cable (non-original lighting cable), the fingerprint scan doesn't work while charging.
    I just find it weird as my iphone 5s works even if i'm not using the original lightning cable though.

    1. Did you use Bootcamp Assistant?
    2. Did you build a USB with Windows 7 ISO and Bootcamp drivers?
    3. You should use a USB2.0 disk, not a USB3.0 disk (flash drive).
    4. What year is the Retina MBP?

  • Playbook only works with charger or USB cable despite batter showing 100% charge

    After 2 years of faithful service, playbook only works with charger or USB cable despite batter showing 100% charge. As soon as the cable/charger is unplugged, it just switches off. When cable is plugged in again, and start button pressed, it reboots. I have reinstalled sftwer from scrathc via Desktop Manager, but the problem persists. I saw this problem raised in the fora several times, but never any explanation why it happens. Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    A high resistance between battery lead and motherboard would allow trickle charge but not power discharge.
    If you want to risk it, prise off the back of the playbook using an old credit card, locate the two screws holding on the battery lead, remove, clean up, then replace.  replace back carefully as the antennae connectors are pressure pads.

  • Macbook Pro's Wifi only works at my house, it has been working perfectly fine everywhere for the past 2 years

    Hi there,
    I have a 13-in Macbook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
    My wifi only works at my house. it has been fine for the past 2 years everywhere else, but now the wifi says its connected, but the internet doesnt work.
    I have already tried a number of things to resolve this as it has been happening the past 2 months by looking on here and some have worked, but I can't seem to get anything to work anymore.
    When I run the Network Diagnostics the Network Status is the following:
    wifi- Green
    Wifi-settings- Green
    Network Settings- Red
    ISP-Red
    Internet Server-Red
    I am home right now so the internet is working fine, but seeing as I use my macbook for school and work, I need it to work everywhere.
    Thanks!

    jcupat,
    when you ran the Network Diagnostics above, was that run from home, or was it run away from home?
    If it was away from home, do you get all green lights when you run it at home, or does it work properly despite not all of the lights being green?
    Does your school or work allow anyone’s computer to connect wirelessly, or do these sites require whitelisting of some sort to permit a computer to use their respective networks?

  • WiFi only works close to router, DNS fail, Signal Bars present but Safari says no Internet, I've deleted and readded through to reset and full reset, I had no problem with 4.3.2 only 4.3.3 both my iPhone4 and my iPad2. I am now beside router - no problem

    Help
    WiFi only works close to router, DNS fail, Signal Bars present but Safari says no Internet, I've deleted and re-added through to reset and full reset, I had no problem with 4.3.2 only 4.3.3 both my iPhone4 and my iPad2. I am now beside router - no problem, but go 20 metres and WiFi becomes unstable. Only way to get either to work is disable WiFi either as a Hot Spot or turn it off and use the 3G connection. This worked with 4.3 & 4.3.2 what has gone wrong? I raised it at the Apple Store in Belfast as a problem but was told that there was no problem with Apple but I must have a faulty router - yeah - that's a lot of faulty routers, my home, my office, my holiday home, Starbucks, my friends house, my son's house. I've tried all the 'fixes'. I think it is a plan to force us to buy Apple Routers

    Two ways out, I added two more Belkin Access Points in my house in Spain so that I'm not more than 10Mtrs away, (Reinforced Concrete & solar glass 2010)
    I bought 3 Apple Airports, 1 x Extreme and 2 x Express (1 as a hard wired AP, 1 as an extender) for my other house (Brick construction 1930's)
    Everthing now works perfectly, as I said 'an apple plot', so either blast them with signal or visit your nearest apple store.
    Early beta iOS5 (iPad) is also much inproved in Beta 3, I have not had any problem with 'Lion'
    Happy hunting!

  • IPod only works while plugged into computer!

    Help! My 2Gb iPod nano went through the washing machine, and after a few days of drying out, it only works while plugged into the computer. As soon as I take it out, the screen goes blank. I can access all my music, podcasts and photos while it's plugged in. I have tried the 5 Rs to no avail. Anybody have any ideas?

    I also sent my nano through the wash and I found that if you get an ac adapter and plug it in for a few hours you will have battery life. This made me very happy however I have noticed that I can not turn the ipod off unless the hold button is on. Battery life is also not as long but long enough for me. Hope this helps

  • Wifi only works after PRAM reset and then only until sleep

    MacBook Pro 15'' (late-2011), 2.4 Ghz, 16GB memory, OSX 10.9.4 (Mavericks) everything up to date.
    After waking from sleep, the WiFi does not recognize any networks, or even an internet connection. The wifi icon is either completely gray or an empty white quarter-circle. Wifi can't be turned on in Network Preferences (nothing happens). The only solution I have found (on these forums) is to delete the wifi connection, hit apply, shut down the computer, restart while holding Alt+Cmd+P+R (PRAM reset). Then the wifi will work flawlessly until the computer goes back into sleep - which happens any time I step away from it.
    It doesn't seem like a hardware issue because I can get it to work fine with a restart. However, I can't find the software setting that will fix this.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Wifi only works on Iphone 5 when close to router

    the wifi on my iphone 5 only works when i am close to the router or in of course in the apple store. can anyone help?

    First reboot your router. If the problem doesn't resolve update the firmware in your router to the latest version. And if that fails go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset Network Settings.
    If the problem occurs on all networks, and not just your home network, exchange the phone at an Apple store. If it is just your home network it most likely is a router problem or interference from other networks or other devices such as cordless phones.

  • Palm tx only works with charger plugged in

    My palm tx only works when plugged into ac charger.  Symptoms began after I left device unused for about 2 weeks.  When plugged in I get the battery charging symbol.  The battery icon says 100%.  As soon as I unplug charger, the device dies.  I have left plugged in for 2.5 hrs and still won't work when I unplug. I have tried hard reset with no improvement.
    Do I need new battery? 
    thanks

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    One last ditch effort - plug in to the charger, and press the Reset button.  Let the TX go through a soft reset and let it charge for a few hours.
    If still no joy, then yes it sounds like your battery has reached the end of its useful life.
    Many places online will repair it for you, or let you purchase a battery and DIY.  Check out directfix.com for a repair video on the TX.

  • Help. Screen won't work while charging directly through a wall socket

    I need help. 3 months ago I bought an iPod Touch 5th Generation and was surprised it didn't have an adapter with it. So I've been charging through my pc since. Yesterday I bought a 10W USB Adapter and tried it out. It was charging but the thing is, when I started using the iPod while it was charging, the screen isn't that sensitive anymore. It would click on itself, sometimes it won't even work. I don't know what I should do. I spent a lot on this adapter I don't want it to be a waste. And also, would it be okay if I keep using this adapter, even if it means I can't use my ipod while charging, would it have any effect on my ipod in the long run? thanks so much guys in advance for your replies. Much appreciated.

  • IPad Mini wifi only works properly for 30 seconds!

    Anyone have the same issue?
    iPad mini's wifi internet connection only works breifly on my network
    Everytime I connect my iPad mini to my wifi, Internet on the iPad Mini works PERFECTLY but only for around 30 seconds.
    Next time i connect my iPad mini to wifi, same thing happens
    Internet on the iPad Mini then becomes very slow to a point where it will not load webpages, web content for apps etc
    I have laptops, an iPad 1, iPhone 4, and an xbox that connect to the same network no problem at all
    iPad mini works perfectly on other people's wifi network however
    Already went to Apple geniuses, went to Apple hotline, and Apple online for help. They took me through all the troubleshooting steps but no answers that help
    (upgraded firmware, reboot and restored both iPad and Router, messed with router settings etc)
    only trouble-shooting step that wasn't taken was the change router settings 2.4Ghz to 5 Ghz because it didn't seem possible on my router
    Help!

    If the WiFi on your iPad works well on other networks the problem lies in your WiFi router or in its configuration. If there is no router firmware which solves this problem I'd simply replace the router.
    Strange that among all the detail in your post you didn't mention the make, model or version of the WiFi router that you are using.
