5800 Wifi Bug??

Hi all, I think there's a bug in the 5800 wifi's connection. After I connected to an access point, it seems that I am unable to disconnect from it, even though the access point is already out of range (few kilometres away!!).
The Connectivity menu still showed "Connected" status. Selecting "Disconnect WLAN" from the Options menu does not have any effect whatsoever. If i tried to connect to another access point, the phone will give error message saying "WLAN connection already active. Close it and try again".
(I think i have the latest firmware e.g. v11.0.008 dated 09/12/08).
So far the only solution is to reboot the phone. Anyone experiencing the same situation? Anyone knows how to hard-killed the wifi connection?
Cheers

Hi all,
I've got the same trouble too.
But I've got also a more critical issue, linked to this wifi bug : my phone shutdown when it's in "stand by" mode.
It is due to the continue wifi connection : when I'm at home, the 5800 automatically connect to my access point, even if I don't use the network.
If I don't use my phone, it goes in "stand by" mode the following minutes.
I tried to find the option to switch off the wifi connection (under Settings > connection > connectivity > WLAN, then option button > parameter, then switch-off network scan. So my phone continue to connect to my access point.
I tried also to change the WLAN settings, in option "use the access point", I switched from "automatic" to "ask confirmation", but the connection is still active automatically, even if I try to disconnect !
I had noticed the same problem with other WLAN that I have authorized access : I had entered the security key in the phone.
The problem seems disapear when I switch off my access point.
For info, my firmware is V 10.0.010 (custom. version is 10.0.010.220.02) - Type is RM-356. - no update possible because it's an operator pack phone...
I hope someone can gives some elements of answer.
Thanks by advance

Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Use on WiFi Bug

If you have been seeing higher cellular data usage while you are on WiFi, good news, Verizon has fixed this bug. All you need to do is update your Carrier Settings to 13.1 and the bug is fixed.
For directions on how to update your Carrier Settings, see:
Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Data Use on WiFi Bug - EVDOinfo.com
Be interesting to see if this fixes the issues for all those having the problem

I have the exact same problem!
I'm using the iPhone 5 now under Carrier M1 Singapore 13.0 and I have noted that over a period of 2 weeks, my cellular data usage has been about 2.7GB on an average. Since I know my bill has been capped at 3GB, I have since switched off my cellular data.
However, when I switched it on for a few days after using it for awhile, my cellular usage jumped by 1.2GB in just 1 day! And I used it as I would on an average day (like during an average day in the 2 weeks)!
I understand that there have been reports of a bug that have caused this problem in the US.

http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/10/iphone-5-cellular-data-usage-over-wifi-bug-on -other-carriers.html
But I'm hoping that there's a solution for those living in Singapore? Do I seek the help from my carrier as well? But if it's a problem with the phone, then my carrier definitely would not help, right?

IPhone wifi bug and battery drain in iOS 8.1

I have an iPhone 5s 32GB and updated it to iOS 8.1
the wifi bug is still there and my battery drains within 4 hours of normal use(no gaming)
the option to chose 2G/3G isnt there too
any help ?
Please fix these bugs soon

Power cycle the battery, let it fully drain to where your phone shuts off and then fully charge it without using it.
As for mail if you have it set to push try using manually fetch - the server will only check for emails when you open the mail app, instead of pushing the mail to your phone when you receive one.

Is somebody working on this wifi bug?

Is someone working on this wifi bug? Sucking the battery down as it bounces from 3G to wifi every 10 seconds or so. Can you down grade back to the old OS?

Reset Network Settings in Setting App. If still problem, Restore iPhone with current iTunes on computer. If still problem there is no fix.

IOS6 WIFI bug, still not work now, exhausted,help...

Been like this a week now, tried every possiable way still not any help at all, it can connect the wifi, internet works for 1or 2 minuts then will faile again, changed one router and tried all different settings as still not work, someone told me they don't have this problem they are using different router,maybe it's because IOS6 have sort of confict with some brand router? I am using TPlink, should I keep invest different router and try? Or should I wait for bug fixed?
Apple didn't give any suggestion to customer and time schedule for bug fixed, this is really **** me off...
I will try to visit apple store to check if they can change a new one with IOS5 for me.

They will not change you back to iOS 5. I asked.
I spent almost 1 week trying to resolve this. Reboot the ipad, reboot my router, delete the network, rejoin the network. Nothing seems to work. I called the Apple support, spent 2 days. After trying every single solution (that I've already done before calling.. duhhh)..
They told me to:
- Go to iTunes.Back up all your data, transfer all purchases to your computer. Of course when I tried to transfer all my purchases, they stuck for hours, then crash everything. I had to redo this 3 times. HOURS!!!
- Restore your iPad from your iTunes. It will erase everything in your iPad, then start fresh as new
- Turn off your iPad
- Turn off your router, give it 10-15 minutes, turn on your router
- Turn on your iPad, join the network
Even though finally it looks ok. I am still going to return this iPad and get a replacement. I just don't feel confident with the device anymore. I just bought my iPad less than 3 months, still got the box. The support told me I could swap my iPad, all I need is to see the Apple Genius. So I made appointment, otherwise the Genius won't see you.
I got tons of questions again from the Genius. He said it is my router problem. Basically, I have a crappy router that came from my internet provider. He said that since they opened the store, he only knew TWO people came in with WIFI issue. I told him, all my other devices connect just fine... but of course, they're "oranges" not Apple.
I thought I'll be getting my replacement right away, but no.. Genius had to place an order first, and they will call me again, and I have to make another appointment to pick it up. I wonder why they don't have one in stock. It's the NEW iPad!!! I hope they're not getting my replacement from some kinda refurbished factory.
This is my first purchase with Apple. So far it is not a pleasant experience.

5800 wifi problem

Hi everybody,
I have updated my 5800 and its now v50.. But when I try to use wifi, I cant use it.. If I click connect, it doesnt do anything and I have to go back to settings again.. It looks as if it freezes.. Any idea ? Thanks....

Hello,
First post for me but I do know my "routers" etc...
I have a problem with the wifi connection too and came across this thread whilst looking for a fix... My problem isn't for this thread but I can confirm that unless the upstairs phone socket is connected to a seperate phone line (so has a seperate number) then you can only use one of your routers at any one time...
You can definatley re-configure your TalkTalk router to work in place of your HomeHub though by going through each of the configuration pages on your hub and taking screenshots of each... You can then transfer these settings across to the TalkTalk router (they all use the same names but they may be laid out differently)... I've used several different routers on my BTinternet line... Also, most ISP routers come with telephone ports too so you can still make use of the free internet phone service too if you want... (Not that I should possibly be saying that on a mobile phone discussion!) :-)

5800 Wifi Problems

I know this has been mentioned a few times - but reading them does not help me:
I have a wifi network set up at home on a Netgear Router. I have a few things connected to it via wifi and not had any problems.
My network is set up with a hidden SSID, mac address filtering and defined IP addresses for all the mac addresses so when each device is attached it always gets the same IP address.
I have entered the mac address of my 5800 no problems there: However, when I try and connect the 5800 to the internet through my wifi I get nothing.
I have tried using the wireless wizard which says the connection is made, my password is correct - but I just cannot connect to the internet through my wifi?
Any suggestions? My phone has the latest firmware - just cannot get a wifi connection at home

If the MAC Address is showing in the list of connected devices, then I suspect that it is not a problem with the MAC filtering.
With regards to DHCP, this is the system that allocates an IP address (and other information) to devices connecting to your network. Check on your wireless router settings, there should be something that says DHCP is enabled or not. If DHCP is not enabled, then your device will not be able to acess anything on the network without manually entering the IP information.
If DHCP is not enabled, try to enable it and see what happens then.

Nokia 5800 alarm bug auto-fix!

My Nokia 5800 (UK)
0575581
v30.0.011
Had the workdays alarm bug. The alarm would sound 3 minutes late.
But after the daylight saving automatic update the bug has disappeared.
My Date and time settings:
Time zone: Local Time
Automatic time update: On
I hope this helps.

It is in fact pretty random. The change back to GMT didn't cure the problem for me and the alarm still goes off late. The phone also switches late out of a programmed profile and the scheduled backup sometimes doesn't happen at all.
The update to V31 is reputed to fix this issue - if ever we get it for our UK CV handsets.

WiFi Bug?! Someone help!

Hi,
I updated my 5800 2 days ago. i didn't have a problem (except the maps 3.03). then yesterday when i tried to connect to the net, i received this error: "WLAN connection already active. close it and try again". and although I'm not connect, the connection icon appears in the upper right corner of the display. any clues?
Cheers,Pouya

Not sure what you did that would turn the WLAN mac address to all zeros. That is likely the key to your problem. is there more to this story that you're not telling us?
With no sim card, you should be able to access wifi data with the hotspot browser. RIM data apps will not work (BBM, Facebook, etc.) but a few apps that use wifi data will work.

NOKIA 5800 XM :Bugs dependent on SIM card used

Hi !
It's been a couple of months now since I've been using this phone. Because I'm travelling abroad and using different network operators , I could notice few bugs related strictly on the SIM card used.
Starting with previously firmware releases, if I'm using an Orange SIM card, sometimes when powering on the phone, just before register in the network, on the screen will appear few vertical lines, display will fade into blank and then will reboot. As a hint of what could be, if this SIM card is used in another phone, it will ask "Allow send SMS....".You must answer YES otherwise the question will appear in a short time.
Regarding the latest firmware, 40.0.005, I've noticed when using a prepaid SIM card, that the "Settings" menu will not show anything when accessed. You need to restart the phone in order to gain access on the folders from "Settings".
Just to mention that my N5800XM phone is network free.
Thanks for attention,
Mario

There's No relation
i'm also prepaid with network-free 5800
just try to soft reset your phone and see if it works

TO FIX IOS 6 WIFI BUG

to fix the ios 6 bug when setting up there are numerous ways to fix it
1. Restart the device (Hold The home and start button for 10 secs)
2. Restart Your Router (Unplug and plug back in the power cord)
3. Restore the Device thru itunes
if none succeds contact apple support

Turning off wifi makes no difference. Everything turned off but cellular radio - no use of phone - battery drained in 4 hours. I just bought the iPhone 5 to replace my 4S - which I regret. Even on airplane mode, the battery still drains.

Iphone Wifi Bug

Hey everyone out there having wifi problem's with the new software, I have found something that works for me to fix the bug. I don't know why this work's no idea into the actual software portion of it but I'm on the original 2g Iphone running 3.1.3. I have been having serious trouble with my wifi for a few week's now and have restored my phone many times usually resulting in a temporary fix, I tried every fix on the web including all the apple support and still no luck. (+The apple support I find to be very pathetic!!! it's defiantly not a Hardware problem+) Anyway randomly I stumbled onto this fix so try it out hopefully it work's for you.
What to do:
1. Be within range of your wifi service and have everything set up for it. (+or if you can't see the network just be in range+)
2. Call a friend or just anyone just have an active call on your iphone. (+I think using the EDGE or 3G network help's somehow+)
3. Then hit home while still on the phone and try and use wifi.
Presto! For me it worked flawlessly and for a good while after I got off the phone also.
Hope this help's someone!

WiFi bug with phone app.

I searched the board, didn't see anything about this. I've verified that this happens on 2 different Pre's, and also numerous times on both.
If I am on call and connected via WiFi to my router, then a 2nd call beeps in, when I disconnect from all calls, the phone will not hang up. Ever. You can wait hours. You'll still be able to hear your voice echo in the phone as if you're connected to a dead line. The only solution for this bug I've found is to restart the phone, and then it lags on shutting down, and eventually you hear the "click" of the call disconnecting.
Has this been reported? Is this the best place to report a software bug?
Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

i have learned that turning on airplane mode will end the call without a full blown restart. once you turn off airplane mode, you can make calls/send texts/use the web again.
