Can only connect on Wifi

I have had my iPhone since February and I have only ever been able to connect to the internet when there is a wireless network present. I don't think it is a problem with the O2 coverage as they are normally pretty good. Whatever I do I cannot get the internet to work with out the WiFi present.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

What is your APN set to ?
If you go to :
Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network...
It lists the login settings for Cellular Internet (non-WiFi), as well as MMS (picture text messages).
If you're with O2 in the UK, you should have the APN of :
payandgo.o2.co.uk (it might be idata.o2.co.uk at the moment - which needs to be changed)
(Don't change the username or password !)

I have 3 questions,Audio/Video Remote Control HID driver windows 8 fails to install code 32, trying to use usb tether connection rather then using WiFi to connect Laptop and iPhone. can only connect using wifi. Last quest. about the hotspot bar.

In device manager it shows an error code 32' using iPhone 5 related to Apple Tv I believe is when this started, I am thinking I can DL the file and install
biut I am not sure how to properly do this.
Also I use my LTE to tether (paid) to my LapTop as well, The issue I am having, I cannot get the USB to work as a network connection. However using the WiFi method works fine but I rather use the sync cable at times such as when I am charging the phone and/or wishing to not trainsmit my ssid for others to see even though I do use a password.
Last question about using the built in WyFi tether connection, Is it posable to remove or ake the annoying blue indicater bar at the top disappear? This blocks from doing certain tasks that forces me to shut off the HotSpot app. to allow me to pull down the info bar at the top, Please Help Thanks

Port forwarding but can only connect to wifi in Bridge Mode

Hi
Our ISP is TalkTalk and we use their Fibre service which connects through a BT Open Reach Modem. The TalkTalk router seemed to causing drop outs in wifi on my macbook pro so I bought an Airport Time Capsule for the wifi router and to back up my mac.
We aren't issued with PPPoE details and the advice from the TalkTalk community was to connect with the Router in Bridge Mode. This has worked a treat with the various Apple and non Apple items we have in out house except one.
We have security cameras which we control through a Windows laptop and can view one out phones. To make this happen we have to set up port forwarding. However, we can't do this as it's in Bridge Mode (as far as I understand).
I'm afraid my knowledge of these things is very basic so I'm hoping that someone will have an easy answer to this. Anyone got any advice on how I can make this pretty white box do its stuff please?
Thanks in advance!

No idea what a double NAT is but you clearly do so here goes...

Hi there,
You may want to take a look at the troubleshootings steps found in the article below.

Try changing the channel in use in case you're getting interference.
If you have WEP enabled on the Internet Sharing it'ss worth disabling it whilst troubleshooting the connectivity issues.

Can only connect to enterprise wifi the first time each day, then does not reconnect and got the "Association Failed" error

To save battery, I leave my wifi off when the TP's screen is locked. At home, my TP has no problem reconnecting to wifi after the screen is unlocked. However, at work, which uses enterprise wifi, I can only connect the first time. If I lock the screen and then unlock it (causing the wifi to turn off and on again) then the TP will not reconnect and I would get the "Association failed" error over and over again. If I were to turn the TP off and on again, I would still get the same error. Here's the strange part, if I come in work the next day, it would be able to connect to the wifi. If I were to leave the wifi on all the time, it would not disconnect even if I lock the screen. Now if I were to turn off the wifi and then turn it on again, the TP would not reconnect. So it seems like the TP can only connect the first time each day....very strange...and frustrating.
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Scimmia is right. But you AcousticBruce are still very wrong. You claim there were no error messages. Yet after much proding and denial you finally provide small portions of error messages which fully identify the problem and can be found in many other posts in these forums. Yet still, you haven't actually provided full output - instead you paraphrased the output after a couple of "//" symbols.
If you don't give us the actual output we can't help - except in this case the error is so common we could very easily help. So could the wiki page on wpa_supplicant if you had read it, as your problem is explictly listed there in a "NOTE" box. But more importantly if you are reluctant to give us actual output we will not want to help you.
This issue would have been solved instantly if you would have provided the actual output instead of lying about it.
The relevant wiki pages:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WP … passphrase
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/He … er_or_root
And the related forums posts found after just a quick search of that error message that you finally provided:

Can't connect to wifi in hotels in Ireland with iPhone 5

Can't connect to wifi in hotels in Ireland with my iPhone 5. My iPad 3 works fine. When I enter the wifi password for the network I always get the error message "Incorrect password for XYZ". No problem with iPad 3.

Returned home only to find the same situation with my home network. Much time on chat support with Apple. Short story long: Must have been corrupted software. Had to restore original original software then add back apps and music. Couldn't back up before doing the restore so I lost a bunch of pics, but at least the phone is working once again.

My iphone 5 only connects to wifi when i'm in the room which has the router. once i leave i get no connections. please help me.

I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5 Help!

I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5 Help!

wifi is wifi, and business hub means very little.. this is area for time capsule discussion.. but the standard measures apply.
1. Set wireless name (SSID) to a name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Eg your Business Hub call wireless BH. There is no need for names longer than that.
2. Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to 11 or 6 or 1. Please test in that order. In Eurozone you can add 13 or use it instead of 11. They are the only 3 non-overlapping channels.
3. Use no security to test.. of course this is unsafe long term.. so this is to test for a few minutes only.
The only security that should be used with N wireless is WPA2 TKIP-AES .. it can be named several different things ie in Apple routers it is WPA2 personal. Use a passkey of 10-20 characters.. more if you are paranoid, mix of upper and lower case + numerics.. so pure alphanumeric.
4. If it fails set the mode to G wireless. It is more consistent standard.
If it still fails buy an Apple router and use that as WAP.

Linsys WRT160NL can't connect to wifi

I have a problem with my Linsys WRT160NL. i need to reboot my AP everyday in the morning to connect to wifi. i can't connect to wifi without reboot. How can fix this problem???

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.
For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
Router and Wired Configurations
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
If http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6 is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only.
What wireless modes are you using?
2.4Ghz Routers only: Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
Try setting a manual Channel to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions.

What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=8ce9e83bd3784001aee72da7f1ef48e8_Changing_the_basi...
What wireless devices do you have connected?
Any 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz cordless house phones or WiFi APs near by?
Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use http://www.metageek.net/support/metageek-software-archives/ to find out. Use v3. How many?
WMM Support must be enabled for single wireless N mode to function.
Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

Why won't iMessage activate on iphone4 that is only connected to wifi?

What is preventing iMessage from activating on iPhone4?

No imessage is free in the states, but you need SMS service to activate imessage per this link
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
That is probably the reason the OP can't activate imessage, he/she is only connected to wifi probably as an ipod.

With new OS6 I can't connect to wifi network with my iPhone

Ever since I upgraded to the new iOS6, my phone will no longer connect to my wifi networks. It only works on 3G. Tried to reset networks and various other things to no avail. Not happy ...

Hello,
I tried the Apple Support recommendation but nothing works, my Ipad mini still can't connect to wifi network, the wifi function in the setting menu it's not available.
I would like to send my device for technical support in USA. I'm live in Venezuela.
How can I do it?
Thank in advance

Hi, my wifi button just greyed out a few minutes ago and I can't connect to wifi. Have followed instructions given by Apple support but it's still not working. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks & Happy New Year :-)

First, you don't have a 5+ year old 3GS. The 3GS has only been around for under 4 years. In fact, 5 years ago there were NO iPhones; the original iPhone (2 generations before the 3GS) came out on June 29, 2007 - not quite 5 years ago. The 3GS was released June 19, 2009.
That aside, you can sync multiple phones to one computer - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495. boogeyman is wrong. It is 100% safe to create an additional user name on her computer, log in with that name, and back up the phone. See this for details on what you want to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

The Holy Mecha of Wifi
Turn router off then on Try turning your wireless router off then back on.
Change or turn off wireless security You may want to try toggling the settings on your wireless router, switching from WPA to WEP or vice versa, or, as a last resort, turning wireless security off altogether. For AirPort routers, this can be accomplished with the AirPort Admin Utility. For other routers, this can usually be accomplished by accessing the router’s configuration page — open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1.
Reset network settings on iPad. On your iPad, open Settings, then navigate to “General” in the left-hand pane. Scroll down and tap Reset, then select “Reset Network Settings.” This will delete any stored WiFi passwords and other information, but may result in a more stable connection.
Adjust brightness upward. Oddly, a number of users have found that they can resolve this issue by simply adjusting the iPad’s brightness level upward and off the lowest setting. To do this, tap Settings, then select “Brightness & Wallpaper” from the left-hand pane. Slide the brightness bar upward, then wait 1-2 minutes and check for an improvement in signal strength. Speculation holds that a power delivery issue associated with the screen brightness affects Wi-Fi.
Change thresholds in router settings. Access your routers configuration screen (for most routers, open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1), then change the fragmentation threshold and the CTS/RTS threshold as described here. Some users have found success with the settings Fragmentation= 2048, RTS = 512.
Change 802.11 spec on router. Try changing your router’s wireless spec mode from B, G and N to G only or vice versa. For AirPort routers, this can be accomplished with the AirPort Admin Utility. For other routers, this can usually be accomplished by accessing the router’s configuration page — open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1.
Switch routers. Although a far-from-ideal solution, some users have found success with switching to a different wireless router.
Turn off “Ask to Join Networks.” To do so, tap Settings on your iPad, then select “Wi-Fi” from the left-hand pane. Slide “Ask to Join Networks” to off. Speculation holds that leaving this option on causes the iPad to constantly seek networks, resulting in some type of interference with the network to which it is connected.
Forget network then rejoin. Tap Settings on your iPad, then select Wi-Fi from the left-hand pane. Choose the network with which you are experiencing difficulty, then select “Forget this network.” Go back to the previous screen and rejoin the network.
Turn off Bluetooth. Some users report that, perhaps due to interference issues, turning off Bluetooth can boost Wi-Fi signal strength. To do so, tap Settings then tap General in the left-hand pane. Tap Bluetooth in the right-hand pane, then slide to off.

IPhone 4s and can't connect to wifi,wifi is grayed out and says "No wifi".FREEZER TRICK WORKS!

Anyone having the same problem?My iPhone 4s its not 6 months old!

Try restoring your phone usng DFU mode. Here are steps to get DFU Mode: Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. (some turn off iPhone here, I do not) Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release power button, keep holding home button until iPhone recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes 10-20 seconds of holding the home button. If the iPhone screen is black (blank) the iPhone is in DFU Mode.
