HT1386 WiFi and Bluetooth signals have weakened since last upgrade

WiFi and Bluetooth signals have weakened since last upgrade. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

WiFi and Bluetooth signals have weakened since last upgrade. This is no fault of my router and or head set. I have 3 Bluetooth head sets, all disconnect when I put my phone in my pocket. I'm sitting at my desk and there is static from my Bluetooth connection... 12" away. It works fine when I hold my phone up to me ear next to my Bluetooth receiver... That's crazy!!! All WiFi connections have the same affect... Low signal... I'm sitting at my desk right next to my router 24" away and have a low signal. Normally I can sit in my backyard 40' away and still get online. My laptop, no problem... My wife's phone, No problem... My recently upgraded iPhone, BIG PROBLEM!!! Apple is blowing smoke if they think they haven't screwed up.....

Problems sharing internet to macbook over wifi and bluetooth

I have an iPhone 5S with iOS 7.1.2 and I want to share its internet connection to a Macbook Pro (early 2011) with OS X Mavericks 10.9.4.
When I share using USB connection, it works fine, but with Wifi and Bluetooth I have some issues:
- Bluetooth: I have never been able to make this work. I can't pair the iPhone with the Macbook. The iPhone appeared in the list of bluetooth devices in my mac, and I tried to pair it; in the iPhone a dialog asked me to confirm if I wanted to pair with the mac, and I selected Yes. After a few seconds it disconnected. If I try to pair from my iPhone to the mac, I get an error message "Device not compatible".
- Wifi: this sometimes works but is very buggy. Sometimes the iPhone wifi network is not visible to my mac. Other times, when I select the wifi network in the mac, I get an error message that says it was not possible to connect. I have to turn off/on the wifi and internet sharing in the iPhone several times to make it work.
This is all very frustrating. Is there a way to fix this?

Same issue here with WiFi using latest iOS version on iPad Air and latest Macbook Pro. In my opinion, "Personal Hotspot" (or tethering) is totally broken on iOS.
WiFi tethering works once and then I need to enable/disable hotspot or enable/disable WiFi to make it work again. Bluetooth is so slow it's unusable. Even over USB I have to reset the iPad a couple times a day as the internet connection is displayed as online but just not working any more. Very disappointing. "it just works (not!)".

Why have the ports on the left of my macbook pro and the wifi and bluetooth stopped working?

Hey All,
About a week ago the two usb ports on the left of my 17" macbook pro, soundcard, wifi, and bluetooth stopped working. The power port, ethernet, remaining usb on the right are still functional. I've tried repairing the permissions and other software based solutions but to no avail. I'm worried that this might be a motherboard issue but am apprehensive about taking the ol' girl into a genius because it will probably cost more to repair than the remaining value of the system. Anyone have any ideas, can confirm my suspicion?
Thanks!

Well I'm using Google Chrome browser on Lion and when I type in that URL nothing happens. Except for the "This webpage is not available" banner.
So it looks like your website is down and what you are getting on your devices are cache.
Oh just deleted the www and now I see the page. Yup all the info looks intact. home about us products Q&A and so on.

My wife and I both have MacBooks (I have MacBook Pro and she has Air) and both are associated with my apple ID since I bought them. However, this means that Safari is linked for both her and I as well as our contacts etc. Can I still use mine ID for apps for her but associate hers with her own ID that I have yet to make?

Well with the MS Hotmail/Outlook.com account that is hard. But she should be able to link all of it to the iCloud system using her Apple ID.
I suggest you do a Google search for "link contacts, Calendars, iMessage with iCloud".
For some stupid reason MS has limited the syncing/linking of only emails and Notes with the Hotmail/Live Mail/Outlook.com system.
They have not included any Exchange features for syncing all that info. That is unless you are using Outlook 2013 and that is only for Windows.

HT4157 I don't have celluar data on my Ipad. what app do I use? In the place on the Apple support screen there are, Airplane mode, Wifi and bluetooth.

I don't have celluar data on my Ipad. what app do I use? In the place on the Apple support screen there are, Airplane mode, Wifi and bluetooth.
Thank you in advance for your help because I don't want to take this back but if I can't figure out how to use it, I will have to.

TS1559 still no solution for greyed out wifi and bluetooth - what to do? been messing around with it for weeks and now discover I'm just outside of warranty period? WHAT?

I am in such a predicament - phone not been quite right since the 6.1 update and I was tolerating the inconvenience of switching off and on etc etc for the past couple of months and now the wifi and bluetooth are totally greyed out all the time - did every restore possible including back to factory settings - still no luck - please don't tell me that trying all the solutions over the past 2 months that temporarily worked for a few days at a time will now mean I have timed myself out of the 1 year warranty? arghhhhh (I can't believe that such an issue will create the response 'oh well, your problem - best just buy another one' ???)
I can't just drop everything and drive to the apple store and wait for hours every time there's a 'glitch' otherwise I may as well move nextdoor to the mall. They tell you to try and solve it yourself first - which I did - and now it's not responding to anything I try, will I be told - 'too late, out of warranty'???
I see theres an update for the iphone 5 that fixes wifi bugs - what about us 4s owners? even my 3 year old 3gs is still working on wifi (haven't dared to update it!) so don't start telling me to expect that the iphone will only last 13 months - NOT AT $600 a piece
This is madness and driving me crazy
Please has anyone had any luck fixing this problem???

well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!

Why did my max loose wifi and bluetooth?

Not sure if it was after last update or when. But my phone lost wifi and bluetooth. I didnt even realize until I got a data alert. I have tried a full reset witch made me very unhappy due to the apps I lost.

Usually if you just turn the device on and off may have fixed your issues.
A hard reset in my opinion is not necessary. If phone makers send out junk updates that actually make the devices work worse, they never should release these junk updates.
Is your WiFi and Bluetooth functioning now? Your apps are not lost since in Google play store select MY APPS then from the list simply reload them back on the device. Both free and paid ones.
Good Luck

IOS 8.1.2 breaks Wifi and Bluetooth on iPhone 4s

Since I upgraded my iPhone 4s to IOS 8.1.2, i am unable to use wifi or bluetooth.
My wifi button is greyed out and I cannot turn it on.
Bluetooth will just display a spinning wheel when i turn it on.
I have tried resetting network settings twice, multiple re-boots/re-sets. Toggling Airplane mode. Turning off iCloud. All to no avail.
Just to be clear, this is not an intermittent issue or a slowdown or anything like that.
IOS 8.1.2 has completely disabled wifi and bluetooth.
Anyone else having these problems or got a resolution?

Yes, but first time in the several years to have a problem. Using Outlook on Mac with MS Exchange Server. I have Exchange set up on both iPhone and iPad. Talked to IT and they are making sure MS Exchange Server is fully updated tonight.

HT5957 My wifi and bluetooth do not function in iOS7 I cannot downloar iOS 7.0.2 without wifi ????

My wif and bluetooth donot work since updating iOS7 software. I cannot download iOS 7.0.2 without wifi ????

If you do not have Wi-Fi, do your updating using computer iTunes.
Make sure you have the latest iTunes 11.1 before you begin.

Problem with IOS 4.3.3 in Touch. No WIFI and Bluetooth detected.

There's not WIFI and Bluetooth since I've updated my IPod Touch to IOS 4.3.3. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks and greetings from Spain.

Here is Apple troubleshooting for that symptom. Just be aware, that you may have a hardware problem or require an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store:
Unable to use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with iPhone or iPod touch because there's no address listed for the device

IPhone Wifi and Bluetooth interference when used simultaneously

I am presently using AirFoiI to stream audio from my PC to my iPhone. AirFoil uses the same protocols as AirPlay. AirFoil/AirPlay streams an Alac audio codec using a bandwith of 1,50 Mbs on average irrespective of the audio codec and bit rate of the source file.
The audio stream received on my iPhone through WiFi is send over simultaneously to my Bluetooth speaker.
When using AirFoil/AirPlay, I regularly hear distortions at the beginning of a track and also randomly when a track is playing. The distortions are a lot more when I move the iPhone around. I am almost 100% sure that these sound distortions are because of Bluetooth interference on the iPhone itself when simultaneously receiving an audio stream from AirFoil/AirPlay and sending an audio stream over bluetooth to my speaker.
I also have done some tests using "Net Meter" and "TCP-view" from Sysinternals on my Windows 7 PC. On "Net Meter" I have never seen any WiFi drop outs or distortions regarding my home network.
My bluetooth speaker supports the A2DP AAC audio codec. This was an important feature for me before I bought the device because the AAC audio codec provides normally a relatively good audio quality over Bluetooth. At the time it did not occur to me that there might be a possible Bluetooth interference coming from my iPhone itself. I presumed that the Bluetooth on the iPhone would use a 2,4 Ghz RF channel not in use by WiFi so that WiFi and Bluetooth used on the same device simultaneously could never distort each other. I was clearly wrong. Put shortly, the problems I encounter are presumably solely caused by the firmware/software on my iPhone. I hope this will eventually be resolved with some future iOs 8 updates. There were indeed many people having Bluetooth issues since iOs 8.
I know the best solution would be to wire my speaker optically with an AirPort Express or an Apple TV. I have not yet decided between the two.
Even when there exists a "wired" solution, I think an expensive device such as an iPhone should be able to make sure that there is never interference between WiFi and Bluetooth when used simultaneously on the SAME device/iPhone.
I hope that some specialists will give their views on my "nonprofessional" analysis and some more in-depth information.

Now will this work:
Airport extreme set to BOTH frequencies and my older wifi stuff like Iphone and printer will automatically connect via 2.4GHz and Macbook will connect to 5GHz so that it will not longe be disruppted by bluetooth?
Unfortunately, no one can predict exactly what will happen in advance with wireless and interference issues. Your chances will improve, though. It might be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy.
What if the Macbook will not connect automatically to the 5Ghz network because the 2.4 stream may be slightly stronger. Is there a way to force macbook to connect to 5Ghz?
Yes, use the option to assign a separate wireless network name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" your MacBook to that network. The other 2.4 GHz devices will connect to the 2.4 GHz band.

IPhone original Wifi and Bluetooth deactivated?

Ok, so I bought a new 3G and my original iPhone was deactivated, but still worked in every other way besides 'phone', so I gave it to my girlfriend to use as just an iPod Touch right now (she's going to get it activated in about a week with AT&T), but for some reasons in the settings, WiFi and Bluetooth are disabled. Bluetooth isn't that big of a deal, but it'd be nice if she could use WiFi. I'm not sure if the SIM card would have to be activated for this feature to be available or not, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have to be. Does anyone know why it would be like this?

No. It's not.
I remember right after I completely reset it, it asked me if I wanted to join my WiFi, and I just said no (since I was giving the phone to her), but now that she has it, the option is completely disabled.

Wifi and Bluetooth Hardware not getting detected

Hi, I need help from HP. Wifi and Bluetooth hardware on my laptop are not getting detected. I have installed the drivers properly but the hardware itself is not detected when I start the notebook. The wifi had problems initially but then it worked fine for sometime and now it is not detected at all. Same is the problem with bluetooth also. The hardware is not visible in the device manager itself. Please let me know the possible problems and also help me with the solution. Thank You. Model - HP Compaq 15s001-tuOS - Windows 7 64 bit.

Since the wifi and bluetooth functions come from the same mini-pcie card it seems likely it has failed. This is the Service Manual: Your Manual See p. 61. Unfortunately getting to the module requires extensive disassembly, but short of removing the motherboard. The wireless module itself will be very inexpensive. But you may need to pay somebody to install it. If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it.

IOS 6.1.3: Loss of WiFi and Bluetooth

Since updating one of our team's iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1.3, WiFi and Bluetooth are no longer able to be enabled.
Same model phones are not having this issue.
Any suggestions? Resetting network connections and power cycling have not proven successful.
Thanks!

if it does not, it is a hardware failure.

IPhone 3Gs Network, Wifi And Bluetooth Off On 4.3.3

Hi, it was two days (so from yesterday) that I have big issues with my iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4.3.3. It not have falls, so I don't think it's hardware problems, because it seems that all the connectivity modules restart. Network (3G or 2G), Wifi And Bluetooth seems to be off and again on, and repeats. First I try to restart, but nothing is fixed. Then I try to restore and insert backup, restore on DFU and insert again the apps, but this afternoon it restart the problems, and restarts itself two times. It strange because I see that the "Personal Hotspot" appears together with this issues. I posted images for explain better (the time is different because is not easy to shot the moment of the restart of the modules. I want to remak that since yesterday morning I never have this problems.

ind my iphone is turned on turn this off and wifi will come on again also do a network reset after this then you can turn FIND my iphone on again job done
Complete nonsense. Find My iPhone has nothing to do with the grayed out wifi issue which you clearly don't understand - tuning it on and off does nothing.
