Anyone still having iPhone 5 Weak Wifi issues?

I'm sure this issue must be staring me in the face on these forums, but it seems like most iPhone 5 WiFi-related discussions are related to the Verizon update issue. Most of the time, my iPhone very strong WiFi signal (as I should) coming from a nearby Airport Extreme. Occasionally, when I return into my WiFi zone (coming home from work, etc.), the signal is shown as weak (only one bar). WiFi On/Off & Airplane mode On/Off have no effect, while restarting the phone DOES return everything to normal. Throughout these events, all other devices (iPod Touches & iPhone 4 with iOS 6 installed, iMac, etc.) show consistent "strong" WiFi. The issue is limited to the iPhone 5.
Is this an issue that others are experiencing? (If so, and thread links would be appreciated)

Apple, FIX THIS PHONE!
Dan, Apple's not here so imploring them on this forum to fix your phone makes you look ridiculous.
If you have bad WiFi connectivity and you've tried all the troubleshooting steps including restoring your phone as a NEW device (not using backup at all) and you still have issues, bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

If I look at google, I will find that people reporting problems with every version of iOS. And accounts of being abducted by aliens. Just because you are having a WiFi issue does not necessarily mean the issue is with iOS 8 (correlation does not prove causality). Until you've done proper trouble shooting (or had Apple do it for you if you don't feel equipped), it's almost impossible to say why you are having a problem.
My iPhone 5S is not having any issues with iOS 8.

Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement

Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement?
Macbook Pro eligible for replacement through Apple program.
Submitted my computer 2 days before program came into effect.
They replaced card or logic board with same original model: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
Issued me a refund check for my repair.
Seems to have some noticeable issues, fan running more than usual again, and temporary graphic lines,
but disappear too fast before a screen dump...
Is anyone who has participated in the replacement program received a different graphic card for
Model Macbook Pro 17" (late 2011)
Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately I have yet to call AppleCare because I am on a project for 3 weeks and cannot be without my laptop during that period....
Until that time I am trying to figure out what I can do to protect the Palm Rest/Mouse Pad area of my Macbook once they either fix it or give me a new one. Has anyone had any experience with either of these products that can provide some input as to whether they are good or bad?

"You may not be eligible" - anyone still having problems?

Is anyone still having the problem when trying to apply for the $100 credit?
Are you getting the "You may not be eligible" page, even though you know you are?
Have you heard back from iPhone support or [email protected]?
I haven't, I also havne't heard back from the manager from the 5th ave Apple Store. I just want to know what is going on and whether or not anyone else is still having problems or if anyone else has found a REAL solution?
PLEASE DO NOT START BLASTING THIS POST, I WOULD LIIKE TO FIND A SOLUTION WITHOUT PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND GETTING THIS POST REMOVED.
THANKS,
Gabe

I was able to get my credit this weekend after being told I was initially ineligible.
Turns out, as I assumed, someone entered in the wrong iPhone serial number for my device at AT&T so Apple never got the correct number.
So, here's what I did to fix it.
I had emailed [email protected] but I also called AT&T and got transferred to the iPhone AppleCare folks. I explained to them that I had never returned my phone, never got a replacement, and that I couldn't have a replacement phone because the IMEI number on my AT&T receipt (there was no iPhone serial number on my receipt, just the IMEI) and the IMEI on the back of my iPhone match. This is the number AT&T uses to validate my iPhone is a working device on their network.
Anyway, after explaining this to the AppleCare folks, I was placed on hold for a good 15 minutes. When she returned she gave me a case number and told me to call Apple Customer Relations during business hours. However, about 2 hours later my credit worked on the web site. About 6 hours later I received an email from [email protected] that they fixed the data problem and I could get my credit. But by that time I'd already spent it =)
So, the best thing for you to do is call AppleCare. If you don't get the resolution you're looking for, call back. I had to call a total of 5 times before getting a case number and before I got my credit.
Good luck!

IPhone 6 64gb WiFi issues still present on iOS 8.1.

I have try everything to fix my WiFi issues on iPhone 6 64gb (MG4X2LL/A), Even bought a new router among other fixs and other recommendations from Apple and abroad, with no success. The funny thing is that my wife's iPhone 6 16 gb have no trouble at all. Mine; Wrong Password/ Unable to connect. #Disappointing.

I have problems too.
- My device: iPhone 6 64gb
- iOS: 8.1
- 1 day life.
- Problem: Wifi doesn't work at home, at university etc.
- I try: Reset of network settings, reset the device as new, reboot, reset of my wifi router etc. I try all.
- Results: nothing change
- Always the wifi settings ask me the password, I put the correct, it doesn't accept; or it says me: impossible to find it, impossible to connect, password incorrect (is correct). Sometimes it has accepted the password (after 20 times trying) but it hasn't worked at all. Only one time it has worked for 2 minutes and after no connection.
Sorry if my english is not so correct. I think as all that is a bug of iOS 8.1. I hope for a solution.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

IOS 5.1 update on iPhone 4 and wifi issues?

Basicly i updated my iPhone 4 to the latest software (iOS 5.1) and every since then i have nothing but trouble previous networks i was able to connect with are either not showing up or only showing up when im within 2 feet of the router. I have tryed resetting and restarting the router and my iPhone but to no avail and i have also reset the network settings.
Is anyone else having this problem? or is it just me?
Anything you suggest trying?
To say the least i am NOT impressed with the iPhone at this moment in time
Thank you

I'm sure you've already tried, but start by turning Wi-Fi off then back on. Here's a longer list of troubleshooting steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398. Maybe you'll find a solution there.

Anyone still having issues with connecting to wifi since updating to IOS 6.1.1 (iPhone 4S)?

It worked for about 5 mins every 40 mins up until 12 hours after updating the software. The wifi is greyed out (can't turn on or off) now, and I am becoming rather frustrated with this as I have been without internet for at least a week now, with my work relying heavily upon internet access. Any help would be great, I have done the hard reset, a normal shut-down, and I have restored my iPhone twice now and still no change. ANY help would be fantastic!

I'm having the exact same problem! However, mine hasn't worked at all even after resetting network settings, restoring phone from back up and as a new iPhone, drained the battery and turned the phone on and off. I am really angry because apple released an update yesterday to fix bugs specifically on iPhone 4S and it has done nothing. My idea would be to book an appointment with your local apple store. I have one on Saturday and hopefully they will replace the phone as I am still under warranty. If you're not still under warranty I think it'll cost you some money, which ***** because its apples fault.

Anyone still having issues with ePrint?

I have rebooted printer, reconnected Internet, and attempted to reconnect through HPCentre but with no success. I now can't even get webservices information pages to print. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I know you said that you do not have a computer, but if you have a tablet then the first thing I would do is follow step six in this document to set a static IP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02817031&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4023246&tmp...
When it asks for DNS information, enter in Google's DNS. Preferred DNS = 8.8.8.8 Alt DNS = 8.8.4.4
If you cannot setup a static IP because you do not have a device that can brows the network, then you will need to get one. I would bet that setting a static IP will clear up the issue you are having.

Is anyone still having the AME crash issue?

I've been working very efficiently until the last day where Media Encoder just stopped finishing the job. It will get about 50% of the way through a simple .mov to mp4 export and then freeze. I am using a new Imac with an I7 and 20+ gigs of RAM. I have updated both Premiere Pro cs6 and with that Adobe Media Encoder.
I have about 200 edits that I cannot transfer to Final cut Pro with out shooting myself in the face, I am begging for someone to help me out here. Adobe doesn't seem to give a rip and I am at a complete loss.

What version of Premiere Pro? Premiere Cs6 6.0.2 updated yesterday
What operating system? Mac OSX 10.7.4 : 3.4 Ghz 20Gigs of RAM : I7
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime". I am using a few different codecs in some of the sequeces. Mainly used is the Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, Timecode : sometimes I used a few AVI files as well
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? I do not get error messages the Media Encoder just stops working
What were you doing when the problem occurred? Trying to have exported media converted to h264
Has this ever worked before? This has worked almost all the time except for this last week as I've really need it.
What other software are you running? Premiere CS6 and Media Encoder that is all.
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? No
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration? I am using the mercury playback engine yes
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both? This only happens on the final output

Iphone 4 weak WIFI reception...

So, I have a Netgear WNDR3700 router. I expect it to be super fast, with my apple product.
So, it is in the living room, which is two walls away from my kitchen. One of the wall has pipes in it, so you can treat it as 2 walls if you want. They are all brick walls if not just dry walls, not concrete.
Anyway, I found, when I had a 11g router, I was able to do the facetime in the kitchen, after the router upgrading, at very beginning, I was able to, now I bearly can. I containly see my iphone drops off the wifi network then reconnects to it.
Initially i thought it was the router, i tried different settings and it didn't work. Then I tried my windows laptop, macbook, and ipad. They can stay connected fine.   I dont have problems iwth ipad and macbook using facetime.   I used the wifi program to see the signal strength and I did see it drops but not enough to make any devices but the iphone to disconnect from it.
So think it might be the phone? It is a refurbished one exchanged by apple. I took it to the genious bar. As you know, it is very hard to reproduce the issue in the store with wifi signal is stronge (like at home, i don't have problems every where else but the kitchen). Apearently there is no tools to test the antena... and 'apple behavior' program didn't diagonse the anything wrong. So basically they just told me there is nothing wrong with the phone and blamed the router.
I am not sure if anyone has the similar issue? Or iphone just is known for weaker reception on WIFI.    Or, is there anyway I can adjust to make things better. I have already done the reset on the network, it didn't work.
Thanks.

two things you can try
1. reset you won't lose any data, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release. wait for the phone to boot back up or
2. Settings - general - reset - reset network settings.   this will clear out the wifi memory on your phone, then when you turn wifi back on, you'll need to enter the password again.
See if that helps out.

Does anyone have ANY idea when the wifi issue will be solved?

My wife and I have had our iPad since May. The iPad has, almost from the start, been TERRIBLE on wireless. After a bunch of trial and error we discovered that the only way we could get it to work with out network was to disable/enable to the wireless every time it stop responding, which means doing this every 30-40 minutes on most days.
Obviously this is hands down unacceptable. Apple posted the 3.2.1 fix which was supposed to solve this, but of course it didn't. As an application architect my team and I have been doing development for the iPad recently, and we encountered a bug related to this for one of our apps where the app would time out on load and close. Turns out the network connection is slowing down so badly it can't get a simple list within the initial 20 second launch window for the apps.
This file is somewhere in the realm of sub-100k... 20 seconds? REALLY? On a 4mbps cable connection?!?!
I'm almost ready to get my money back at this point... it's really frustrating to have to deal with this on a daily basis. We have a Belkin 802.11n router which works fine for every other network device in my house. That includes 2 iPhones (3G, 3GS), Dell laptops x2, IBM laptop x1, Wii, network bridge, etc.
The lack of ANY kind of real insight is the most painful issue here. And no Apple, telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution. Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!

And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.

What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

IPads/iPhone and Open Wifi Issue

Running Cisco wireless at a larger university and We're running into issues with ipads and iphones on our network. We run an Open guest network. No encryption. But are having difficulty getting ipads and iphones, of variying models, getting connected reliably. We get "error joining network" messages, but only for the Open networks. Also, it seems Random. 3 out of 4 times it fails and then it will connect a few times and then fail again. It makes no sense whatsoever.
Here is out network setup:
Wireless network enryption: None (Open)
WLC is a 5508 Running version 7.0.222.0
We also have 2-4400 models running 7.0.222.0
APs are 1131's (ABG) and 1142's (AGN)
We have run several tests to confirm that this seems isolated to our Cisco envirnoment and only Open networks. We have another vendors products on site (That we've been slowly replacing with Cisco) and have the same network configured there and are not having these issues. We have also tried putting a WPA2-PSK password on the network for testing purposes, and that elminates the issues, however, we need this network to be Open due to requirements on our end.
We've tested everything from iPad 1's up to iPad 3's all running the latest iOS 5.1.1 as well as iPhone4 and iPhone4S version running 5.1.1. All seem to have the issue.
I'm running out of ideas for testing and troubleshooting this issue. Any help or direction would be greatly apprecated.
Thank You.

I better explain this better:)
The session timeout will force a user to have to log back on the webauth. Idle timeout will allow the wlc to know of the iDevice even if it goes to sleep, or else it will timeout after 300 seconds which is default. Fast SSID change might not be needed unless you want the ability or devices to be able to switch to a different SSID or else the will have to wait for around 30 seconds.
