HT1695 is there a fix for dead wifi for iphone 4s made around jan 2012?

is there a fix for dead wifi for iphone 4S
many people complain on these forums, all seem to be built early 2012 and fail 1 year later approx.
product recall?  or spend $200 more for a refurbish phone?

There are no recalls, there is no widespread issue.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Is there a fix for Iphone 5  wifi connection issues specifically to Verizon routers

    Is anyone else experiencing WIFI connection problems when trying to connect to a Verizon Router? All of my other phones, 4 and 4S as well as my Ipad connect flawlessly and have a wide range, yet my Iphone 5 will only connect when I am in the room with the router and disconnects when I am less than 20 feet away.

    Then go for one of the old cables with a 30 pin to lightning dock connector
    Add an Apple Genuine 30 pin to lightning adapter to fit the iPhone 5 plug into that the car cable
    I use several in different scenarios but do buy the Apple product most of the cheap rippoffs do not work correctly

  • Is there a fix for iphone 5 with uconnect issues?

    I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee with Uconnect and when my phone is paired to the vehicle it works fine.  When I shut my vehicle off and restart it, the phone kicks out.  Uconnect states there is no phone connected.  I keep having to pair it over and over and over again. I currently have an iphone 5 with the ios 6.1.3 software update.  Does anyone have any resolution to this issue?  Thank you in advance for your assistance.

  • Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

    Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
    Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
    How do I get update to 6.0.2?
    Will that even help?

    Some things to try first:
    1. 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.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. 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
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • HT1688 My iphone keeps blanking out and then when I press then home button it tells me the battery is dead. it has happened to me at 30%, but today it was at 71%, is there a fix for this?

    My iphone keeps blanking out and then when I press then home button it tells me the battery is dead. it has happened to me at 30%, but today it was at 71%, is there a fix for this?

    This is often due to faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • Is there a fix for a dead ethernet port besides a new logic board?

    My ethernet port went dead on my IMac.  I unplugged the ethernet cable and plugged it into my laptop and it worked instantly.  I am still able to connect wirelessly.  I bought an apple USB to Ethernet converter and plugged it in.  It worked for about 3 days and then it went dead.  Once again I was able to unplug the ethernet cable, plug it into my laptop and instantly had a connection.  Is there a fix for a dead ethernet port besides a new logic board and if not how do I figure out which logic board I need?
    Thanks
    Step

    This problem baffled me. I kept getting the "ethernet cable unplugged" error after testing my cables good. Was abut to write it off as port gone bad when I found this thread.
    The YouTube video reference above fixed my problem. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1P6X87qArs)
    Basically go to SETTINGS/NETWORK. Then highlight your ETHERNET port and click the ADVANCED button. From there click the HARDWARE tab.
    Set
    CONFIGURE to MANUALLY
    SPEED to whatever your ethernet speed is, in my case 1000baseT
    DUPLEX - FULL DUPLEX, FLOW CONTROL
    Leave MTU at Standard
    Hit OK.
    Then don't forget to hit APPLY. I didn't do this the first couple of times assuming hitting OK applied these settings. You gotta hit APPLY.
    In about two seconds, my Ethernet connected again.
    I went back and reset it to AUTOMATIC just to test and after doing so got the cable unplugged error again. So I am leaving it on manual and it's working.

    What model of Mac?  I have a MBP running 10.7.3 and do not have that issue.  From the other couple of posts I've seen about it, it seems to be maybe an issue with some iMacs?  Have your tried searching the Lion or iMac forums for similar issues, just to see if anyone has hit on why it is happening?

  • HT6010 Unable to turn on wifi on my iPhone 4 after the iOS 7.03 update.  Is there a fix for this?

    After installing the iOS 7.0.3 update on my iPhone 4S I am unable to turn on wifi.  Is there a fix for this?

    Not really.
    I upgraded to ios 8.0.2 and the problem goes on.
    I restored it to factory settings, and started installing every app, one by one, and the Copy + Paste problem still happens.
    I have an iPhone 4S 32GB

  • Is there a fix for battery drain on ipad 2 IOS 5.0.1? drain from 100% to 70% in less than 20min had it on playing music with display off

    is there a fix for battery drain on ipad 2 IOS 5.0.1? drain from 100% to 70% in less than 20min had it on playing music with display off

    About all that can be suggested is to use the feedback form and talk to Apple. They have communicated with some users, trying to get more info to find out just what the battery drain is so they can fix it. Unfortunately with the myriad of operating systems, apps and individual tweaks, there could be several combinations of settings that are draining the battery.
    My personal suspicion is that it has something to do with iCloud and the wifi syncing. (My ipad, before I changed the setting, was reaching out to find a sync on a regular basis. And it may still be doing so, however I set my iTunes to not automatically open to keep my device from trying to sync several times in an evening...not to mention the constant aggravation of iTunes opening regularly)
    That said, I could be wrong and it could be an app that users have in common, or several apps.

  • IS there a USB Tether Fix for iPhone 4s & iTunes 11.1.1

    IS there a USB Tether Fix for iPhone 4s ?
    Mac OS X : 10.6.8
    iPhone : 4s w/ ios 7.0.3
    Additional Apps : iTunes 11.1.1
    I had this problem once before with a previous "iTunes" update where  Ifixed the broken "ktext" file. No idea what do do about this snafu. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

    OK. Can't edit so here's my reply.
    Both names seem to be OK if I want to just carry some tunes on just the sd card it self and then stream the music to the 4S. What I am hoping to find is a way to actually put the music (mp3/4) files on the iPhone 4S directly. Judging by the 2 first posts and by what Amazon has on the two adapters listed by xtremecarbon, it does look like I cannot do this. It bites but that does seem to be the outcome of this.
    Again if anybody has any leads or ways of putting music directly on the 4S without iTunes, do let me know. In the mean time I'm looking at the 13" MacBook Air and at the MacBook Pro. I don't think I can twist my wife in getting the Pro and I give her my old one. But I sure will give it a try. At least I know she does like the MacBook Air.

    I have an older iPod Touch. I charge the battery but it drains real fast. Is there a fix for this? How much would it be to replace the battery? I love my iPod but the battery is always dead.

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation, running IOS 6.1.2. I understand you are having problems with your Ipod/Ipad/Iphone, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Its an Old Ipod, give me a break... just get a new one, or leave it always plugged in
    You could also get a new battery (but its not worth it... just buy a whole new unit)
