MY iphone 4s cannot connect to wifi after updating to ios 8.1.1

after updating to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 4s cannot connect to wifi at all.
at first, connection will show up, but when i tried to connect, i will see the wifi logo but after 15 or 30 seconds, connection will be lost again.
i will try again, but this time, my phone will hang, i need to restart but then, wifi will not work at all.
it will show that its searching for network but its not. then it will hang again,
after this, give up already.
my phone is working perfectly fine until updating my ios to 8.1.1.
the problem is i cannot upgrade again as i cannot connect to wifi.

Settings/General/Reset - Reset Network Settings. If you can't turn WiFi on see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

Repeated "Call Failed" and unable to send or receive Texts or VMs

Please Help Me:
I have a beloved iPhone 3G and it has been no problem for the year and a half that I have owned it. Until last week...
All of a sudden I am periodically getting repeated "Call Failed" screens when I attempt to make an outgoing call. Not once or twice but for hours at a time, I cannot call out or receive calls-in, nor can I send or receive text messages.
Sometimes it will click-back-in (whatever that means) and I will suddenly get three voice messages and texts from my wife saying, "Where are you and why is your phone going straight to VM???"
What did I do to troubleshoot?
1. When I power off and power back on my phone it sometimes starts to work again.
2. If I do a Home Button plus Power Off it works, until it "clicks off" again.
3. I called AT&T support, they checked for network outages and there are none.
4. I took the sim card out and blew-in it (a la Nintendo-HA!)
5. I updated it. I hadn’t updated it since March. This took a while, because I kept getting an error (2003) message. But eventually, I completely UPDATED IT and RESTORED THE PHONE. I now have 4.0.2 on my iPhone and iTunes 9.2.1.
6. It looked like the update/restore worked but then it started happening again.
7. The problem is not local, i.e. it happens to me not in just one area but on the road, at home, at my office, out of my home area, etc.
I’d prefer to only have to buy a new cell phone every two or two and a half years, rather than on an annual basis. I do not have an extended warranty or AppleCare.
Does anyone know of any other hard-fix for this.
I’m willing to take a gamble, because I know the next step is to go to AT&T and they’re just going to tell me I need a new phone (likely the same for an Apple Store as well).
The rest of the phone is working fine. Even when getting Call Failed, I still can use the Internet and other applications.
My phone connects properly to my PC (Windows XP) and my bars and network connection appear to be accurate, meaning that I’m not getting zero bars when the Call Failed screen appears.
Any help, insight, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Alright, it's fixed:
Switching Airplane Mode and/or "Show My Caller ID" OFF and ON or vice versa did work momentarily, particularly the Airplane Mode.
HOWEVER, I read someone's post on another website about disabling 3G!
Just recently my area received 3G (I know Pennsyltucky). So maybe the turnover had some effect on my phone. (AT&T did not admit to that when I called but...)
Anyways, go to Settings > General > Network > switch "Enable 3G" to OFF
It has worked for 24 hours, so keeping my fingers crossed.
Please note that this may only be a fix for the older 3G iPhones (I bought mine new right when the 3GS was released). Plus, our area just received 3G networking.
Hope this helps someone else.

I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors).

HT4528 I just bought a new 4s and I can't send or receive texts. Also when anyone calls me it comes up as unknown but I transferred all my contacts. Is this a carrier issue or is this my device?

I just bought a new 4s and I can't send or receive texts. Also when anyone calls it comes up as "unknown" but I transferred all my contacts. Is this a device issue or a carrier problem?? I've tried everything. Reset the network and some a hard reset but no changes.

I believe the root cause is IOS5.01. same problem on my iphone4s with IOS5.01. Now I have a expensive I-touch! wake up steve.............. I suggest you change your sim cark from 64k to 128k. or just waiting next generation IOS.

What's Wrong With My iPhone 4? Sometimes I Can't Make or Receive Calls and I Also Can't Send or Receive Texts!

Recently, I've been having issues with my iPhone 4.
A few weeks ago, out of the blue, I could not send or receive texts, and I couldn't make or receive calls. If I tried to send a text, the little bar will go almost all the way to the end and just hang there for something absured like over half an hour. Then it tells me that it failed to send. When I try to call someone when I suffer from this problem, there's no dial tone, no noise. When I try to hang up, it just says "Hanging up..." and if I go out of the Phone, it says up the top "touch ti resume call" when I'm trying to hang up. If I touch to resume call, it's like I didn't hang up.
Then, out of no-where, it suddenly fixed itself. I thought, "Great! Something like that surely couldn't happen again!"
And it did again, just a few minutes ago. And subsequently fixed itself, albiet faster than last time.
How can I avoid this problem in the future? Do I need have my iPhone 4 repaired? Do I need to tell you guys more information?
Thanks for your time,
Sasha.

TS4268 I updated my iPhone 4s to version 6.1 and can't make or receive any more calls. What can I do?

Hi,
As stated, I updated my iPhone 4s to version 6.1 and can't make any calls now.
Restoring it to a prior state doesn't rollback the iOS version, so I'm stuck with a brick now.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thank you.

Well, frankly you've provided no useful details.
If you want help, we need details.
Any errors on the device?
Is it activated?
Is it saying "No Service"?
Unsupported SIM?
Have you tried removing and reinstalling the SIM?
Replacing the SIM?

I have purchased a new ipad2. I am connected to wifi and can not get it to connect to the app store. Am I missing something?

I have purchase a new Ipad2. I am having difficulty getting on the app store. It just says it cannot connect to the server. Help

Have you been syncing the iPod with iTunes? Then you just connect the iPad and set it up through iTunes and sync any content you want onto it.

In terms of games/apps. If they are not universal (you will see a + symbol next to them) or made for iPad (you would see an HD in the name, usually) then they won't look good on an iPad as those apps will open in a iPod sized window, giving you the option to enlarge.

I frequently receive a "connection time out" message and can neither send nor receive email.

SOMETIMES exiting and reopening Thunderbird helps; SOMETIMES frequently checking for new mail and/or hitting the send button helps -- and sometimes nothing helps, not even rebooting. My internet connection via my browser works, and I am able to open links in older emails even when I cannot send or receive.
I am using 24.6.0 with Win 7 Ultimate.

Anti virus as you are probably aware operates on many different levels. The most obvious have been closed off. Lets try the second most obvious, real time scanning.
I have no idea what you use and they all use different terminology for basically the same things, so you will have to read between the lines a bit.
You have disabled the email scanning, now create an exception in the anti virus real time scanner for your [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_where-is-my-profile-stored Thunderbird profile] folders.
Thunderbird uses a single file per folder to store mail and the anti virus can slow things to a crawl scanning those very large files every-time something is added or removed or a folder is changed. An exception means that does not happen and the folder is only scanned when a "full system" scan is done. This does not stop memory scanning or scanning of attachments when they are opened.

Brand New Iphone 5c can't send or receive text messages of any kind!? I've tried everything, why does no one have a solution for this? There's no way we're keeping a phone that can't even perform one of it's most basic functions. Help!

Got the new Iphone 5c from Verizon today and was really happy with the phone until we realized it is unable to send or recieve text messages AT ALL. We've tried everything, searched the internet for hours, I've tried live chatting with Verizon and Apple ALL DAY and somehow keep getting "disconnected" even though my internet is working perfectly. The phone is pretty much useless if it's unable to perform one of it's main functions and it's really dissapointing to add a line, get the phone, only to discover a major problem with seemingly no solution whatsoever. Is there any fix for this? Because a phone that is incapable of sending or receiving a simple SMS message is pretty much useless. It's too bad too because I really love the phone if not for that. Does anyone have a legitimate way to solve this problem? We've done everything, network resets, turning imessaging on and off, factory reset, etc. etc. etc. and nothing works. Please help.

Hello Idkallday!
I know your device sends and receives text messages! Let's get to work on this! Did you port your service from another carrier, or is this a new number? Is your previous device still powered on?
I also want to ask if you are able to use iMessaging, and if you see any error message when sending?
Please test it by sending a message to your own mobile number, and keep us posted!

I can't send or receive text from non-Iphone

This just started happening last week.

That's definitely strange, bigbadscharfy. We're here to help get all texts coming and going. Let's start w/ the basics! Have you checked under Settings>Messages> Is Send as SMS checked on? This can help send out messages as regular texts and not iMessages. Do you receive any error messages when the texts dont go out or receive?

Force the phone into recovery mode:
If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

TS1702 after upgrading to ios6 my 3gs iPhone no longer connects to internet and can not connect to iTunes or app store . . . just the loading icon

My 3gs phone has stopped connecting for apps, itunes, app store. I believe it may have something to do with the IOS6 install. Safari seems to be operating though.

Have you rebooted your home router?
