After having upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2, I can not turn on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. After trying various tricks I found via online forums such as software reset, enable Airplane mode, and resetting the network settings, I have now also completed reset

After having upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2, I can not turn on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. After trying various tricks I found via online forums such as software reset, enable Airplane mode, and resetting the network settings, I have now also completed reset of the phone WITHOUT success. Is there something more to it? If not learn hardly be any more iPhone for me. Really disappointed. Grateful for help!

If you have tried all of the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 and have completed all of the user troubleshooting, restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new, then make an appointment with the Apple store to have the hardware checked.

IPad 2 with iOS 7.03 loses 12% of battery life in 24h. in Airplane Mode

Hi everyone,
I've always tried to maximize the battery life of my iPad; I fully discharge it and then fully charge all the time, and I don't do more than 1 full charge cicle per week.
In iOS 6 my iPad 2 was functioning nicely, with no noticeable battery drain in standby / sleep mode. The moment I upgraded to iOS 7 i noticed that my battery life was draining without using the iPad, about 1% per hour constantly.
I started to do a little bit of research. I made sure first that the iPad really goes to sleep when I close the smart cover.
I started to disable everything, one by one, removed all notifications, configured email to download only when I ask, disabled backgroun application refresh, closesd all applications before putting the iPad to sleep, etc.
I notice a little bit of improvement in terms of battery life in sleep mode but I still had a visible unacceptable battery drain in sleep mode.
I decided then to start real tests so I started to do the following:
- I fully charged it and fully chaged it
- when it reached 100% charge I kept it 2 more hours in charge
- I closed all apps and then I did a restart by pressing simultanously the home and the power buttons for more than 5 seconds
- I started the iPad, closed the smart cover to put it in sleep mode
- after 24 hours it was showing 87% so I lost 13%
Next test was similar but before putting the iPad to sleep I, put it in Airplane Mode. This time after 24 hours it was showing 88% so I lost 12%
One very weird thing that happened during this last test was that after 24h in Airplane Mode when I opened the lid, and without turning off the Airplane Mode I got a notification that there is a new software upgrade to iOS 7.04 waiting for me to install. REALLY in Airplane Mode . . . ???? I do not understand.
Have you noticed similar battery drain issues in iOS 7, did any of you performed similar tests ?
I consider 12% battery drain in 24 h. in sleep mode unacceptable, really unacceptable
My next test will be to turn it off for 24 hours to see how much is the battery draining when off.
Maybe Apple people have something to say. I have an appointment to the Genius bar today.
I'll keep you guys posted

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

TS3992 Altho' my 4S iPhone is connected to Wi-fi & I have a correct Apple/icloud ID and password, I keep getting the message "icloud backup Failed. Turn off airplane mode, or use Wi-Fi to enable iCloud backup." Should I delete my account,setting up a new

I cannot activate my iCloud backup of my 4S iPhone, even though I have definitely deactivated Airplane mode, and am connected to Wi-Fi. I also have a correct Apple/iCloud ID and password.
Should I delete my iCloud account and set up a new one??
Please give me some assistance with this problem!
Sincerely, Brianrit

To unfreeze it, reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.
To troubleshoot your problem with backing up to iCloud, this may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your iPad that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

My iPhone 3gs backed up to the iCloud just fine, but my new iPhone 5 gives me an error and says to turn off airplane mode or use wi-fi. It is connected to my wi-fi and airplane mode is off. It can see the internet just fine. What gives?

I backed up my iPhone 3GS to iCloud. Activated my iPhone 5 and restored it from iCloud. But iPhone 5 will not backup to iCloud, only to my MacBook. When I try to turn it on on the phone it gives me an error that I must turn on Wi-Fi or turn off Airplane mode. Wi-Fi is on an the phone is talking to the internet just fine and airplane mode is off, but I still get the error. Is this a known problem?

You mean take the cover off of the iPhone, to look inside? I'd recommend against it. Even with warranty expired, you might qualify for an out-of-warranty service, which for 3GS is $149.
Other than that, any repair/service options are going to cost money. You might want to see if a wireless carrier will let you get a new contract & phone.
Out of curiousity, you're just using at as, basically, an iPod Touch, if there's no cell provider? Did I understand that correctly?

HT203977 After Update my phone from IOS 7 to 8 . m phone become really bad losing signal all the time now i did update to 8.1 and still losing signal appearing gprs on display at place of 4 g or 3 g and the needs turn to Airplane mode and come back to

After update my Iphone 4 s to ios 8.1 this device keep losing signal from 3 G and wifi , to fix that is necessary to me turn on and off airplane mode ,
How can i fix this mess from Apple ios 8.1 ??? I do not have this problem before when was ios 7

hello...
I am having the same issue here... just upgraded my 5s to 7.1.1 (never jailbroken - factory unlocked) and then boom... NO Service!!! Searching ... that's it. currently using Smart Telecom Sim... at first it was working for me... after 6-7 hours, it started the No Service issue. I cannot send a text or make a call...
I did the steps you have taken but it is still not working... any updates on your end?

I have an iPhone 4S with Sprint, I had to replace my last phone after the newest update killed my wifi button. Now my new phone won't get 3G at all. I have tried turning my phone off/on, resetting my networks, and turning airplane mode off and on.

I have an iPhone 4S with sprint. I had to replace my phone after the new update killed my wifi button and wouldn't let me turn my phone off. Since I've had my new phone, I haven't been getting 3G. I have tried resetting my networks, Turing airplane mode off/on and restarting my phone. Nothing seems to work. Any info on what I should do next would be great.

If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

IPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.4) location and airplane mode bug - kills data cellular connection

So I swapped out my 5 to apple for a 5 with a working power button, and now I have all kinds of issues..
if the phone is put to airplane mode then taken off airplane mode, cellular will not connect (searching..., NO SERVICE, etc.)
if you want to use any kind of location service, once you approve the use of that location service, it also kills the cellular connection.
the only location service that doesn't kill the signal is weather, all else wipes out the connection.
anyone else noticed this bug?
This replacement iPhone is the ATT-Tmo compatible new refurb version, which I intend to swap to apple for a standard ATT version.

I concur with your suggestion. Not sure why they replaced the phone as they did, since replacement devices are supposed to be in kind. In otherwords, they give you back what you bring in. I've never seen this issue where turning on location services turns off cellular. I would take it in as soon as possible.
You never said, were you trying to use this on AT&T? Did it activate correctly?

I turned off my Verizon phone in Birmingham getting on a plane to Houston. When I arrived tonite I turned it back on and it says"searching" I do not have it in airplane mode and I have done a soft reset. Any other suggestions. This is a new iPhone 5

In settings>general>restrictions>location services>system services do you have cell network search set to off? If so turn it on and it may help to find a signal faster.

I have the new iPad. Even with airplane mode on, my battery life is extremely limited. Is there a problem with the battery? I used to have the ipad2 and had no such problem.

What is your brightness setting & how many apps are open?
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

IPod Touch 4th Gen. iOS 5.1.1 - Sleep Mode and Other Questions

Hello,
I have an iPod Touch 4th generation with iOS 5.1.1
1) RE: Sleep Mode - I found this on another thread and it's regarding iOS 4.3.1.
Is the same still true for iOS 5.1.1?
If so, what is recommended for sleep mode - Airplane mode or Wi-Fi off - or is either one ok?
Wi-Fi is always ON with the 4th generation model running 4.3.1 when it is sleeping unless you either turn off the Wi-Fi or turn Airplane mode ON.
2) I only use my iPod Touch on my home Wi-Fi and do not use any cloud based syncing or iTunes Wi-Fi Sync. I do all my syncing manually from my MacBook Pro via USB to the iPod Touch. The way I do things is purchase what I need from my MacBook Pro via iTunes and then manually sync it to the iPod Touch. But there may be times, in the future, where I would want to purchase directly from the iPod Touch.
I recently updated my AppleID with my new email address via my MacBook Pro. But, I noticed that on my iPod Touch under "Settings" "Store" that it still shows my old AppleID. I have all Automatic Downloads set to OFF. How do I update the iPod Touch to reflect my new AppleID?
3) When I'm using Safari and I navigate to several websites, how do I easily get back to my home page (which is set to Yahoo!)?
Probably a dumb question but I can't seem to figure it out. I've set Yahoo! to my homepage but I would think there should be or is (and can't find it) a button/icon like on my MacBook Pro Safari to take me directly back to the homepage.
Thanks in advance for the help!

- Unless you use bluetooth, airplane mode and wifi off are the same as regards to battery drain. I like use airplane mode sinc that is directly under Settings.
- Go to Settngs>Store and sign out of existing account and sign in with the updated one
- I have no idea for the Safari question

HT201328 My unlocked iPhone 4 shows "No Service" and after airplane mode turned on and off, shows "Invalid SIM"

I recently bought two iPhone 4 phones from my colleague in USA. He unlocked these phones from AT&T. But I did not test it. However, now that I am back to India, and inserted my Indian Vodafone SIM car, the phone shows "No Service" and if turn AirPlane mode ON and then OFF, a message comes as "SIM Failure", and the top left corner shows, "Invalid SIM".
Now, how do I confirm whether my colleague was successfully able to unlock these phones ?
What are the steps to make my Indian Vodafone SIM work ?
Any support appreciated.

Hello there Vicky,
Here is a great article for troubleshooting the Cellular connection on your phone. From article iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3780:
Follow the instructions below for assistance with troubleshooting cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, please test to see if the issue is resolved.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
Restart your iPhone.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrier to report the issue.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPhone as new.
Contact your carrier to:
Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
In order to verify if the phones have been unlocked, the original carrier for them would have to be called.
Take care,
Sterling

Restore locked iPad mini in airplane mode

Here's the scenario we're struggling with:
1. My daughter upgraded to iOS 7 last week, entered a new password and then promptly forgot it. (Or, as she claims, the iPad will not accept the password she used).
2. At some point along the way, the iPad was set to airplane mode.
3. After (?) number of unsuccessful attempts at the passcode, the lock screen shows "iPad is disabled." Seems like it's permanent now.
4. The iPad was setup to sync and back up through iCloud. To my knowledge, it has never been physically connected to a computer and synced through iTunes (I could be wrong on this. . . can't remember whether this was required at setup, but if so, that was the only time it was connected to iTunes).
5. So, I would now like to restore the iPad to the most recent backup in iCloud. I'm not sure exactly how to do this, but here are the options I've tried:
     i. Initiate a restore through iCloud.com? There doesn't seem to be an option to view a backup or initiate a restore once signed in to the account. The closest option looks like "Find my iPhone", but again, the iPad is in airplane mode, so it can't locate it.
     ii. Through iTunes? When I plug the iPad into a laptop, iTunes returns the following message, "iTunes could not connect to the iPad because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPad before it can be used with iTunes." Not helpful.
     iii. Through the "iCloud Storage" program in MS Windows? This seems to be the most promising. I can view the time and the file size of the most recent backup; however, the only options available to actually do anything are to delete the backup file or buy more storage! Really?!
We're big Apple fans, but when did things get so complicated and unfriendly?
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hello Catherine,
Thank you for providing all the details of the issue you are experiencing with your daughter's iPad. You have gone through some really good troubleshooting steps already and are on the right track to get this resolved.
First, I recommend disabling Airplane mode using Control Center so that you can locate your iPad through iCloud. To access Control Center, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
iOS: Understanding Control Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5858
Once you have Airplane mode disabled, you can restore the iPad using Remote Wipe:
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
Once you have restored the iPad, you can restore the iCloud backup using the steps in this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

If not:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then:
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
