IOS 8.0.2 update causing problems with wifi connectivity..please help
latest update having problems ...please help..!!!!!!!!!!
Just a quick snapshot of my chain of events. I’m currently on my fourth iPhone 6 Plus 64GB here in London, UK. Every time I have spoken to AppleCare and told them that I have gone through all the Wi-Fi troubleshooting methods possible they have asked me to get a brand new retail replacement as I’m within my 14 day return period. I’ve been experiencing the following issues:
Wi-Fi disconnects and switches to 4G (Restart required for temp fix)
Wi-Fi is still active but there is no traffic or activity– often when in sleep mode for long periods of time. (Toggle Wi-Fi on/off for temp fix)
Wi-Fi disconnects and cannot find any networks (restart required for temp fix)
This has been occurring on both iOS 8 and 8.0.2
The issues are the same on both my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks
This is affecting my ip6+ and 5s (5s used to work perfect on ios7 on same networks) – My MBP-R and all other devices run perfectly on my network.
I spoke to AppleCare again yesterday and asked for their advice as its now my fourth iPhone in just under a month. This time they said that apple were fully aware of the Wi-Fi problem and that new repair tickets were not being raised for their engineers as they are already working hard to get this resolved. They also said they could see all the issues raised on the apple discussions boards which they usually don’t admit too! I asked what to do next and the advisor apologised and said this is clearly a software glitch and will be resolved in the next update. I asked for a timescale but unfortunately none was given.
As stated above I have tried all the troubleshooting methods discussed on forums and on tech websites but the only thing that gives me a stable connection without any disconnects (especially on my 6 plus) is turning cellular/mobile data off when I know I’m going to be on Wi-Fi for a sustained period of time (e.g. at home or work). I appreciate this is annoying but it’s the best temp fix until an update comes out.
Hope it helps everyone who is having issues with their devices that have cellular functionality.
Any comments welcome

I suppose it is the problem with socket connection,Please help
Hi,
I'm trying to build a chat server in Java on Linux OS.I've created basically 2 classes in the client program.The first one shows the login window.When we enter the Login ID & password & click on the ok button,the data is sent to the server for verification.If the login is true,the second class is invoked,which displays the messenger window.This class again access the server
for collecting the IDs of the online persons.But this statement which reads from the server causes an exception in the program.If we invoke the second class independently(ie not from 1st class) then there is no problem & the required data is read from the server.Can anyone please help me in getting this program right.I'm working on a p4 machine with JDK1.4.
The Exceptions caused are given below

Q since upgrade to iOS6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and getting into App Store and itunes
Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
In the meantime ...........

Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors
http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/best-fixes-for-cannot-connect-to-itunes- store-errors/
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I have an Ipad mini with IOS7. A few days ago I began to have problems with wifi connectivity. I can connect to wifi with Google but cannot navigate in Safari nor any of my aps are able to acess wifi. Very strange. Not sure what to do!
Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
If nothing above has helped, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections -
Hello everyone i'm new user of BlackBerry and i must say it's great phone
but I have a one little problem with wifi connection:
when i open "Call Management" and turn on wifi connection, find my home router network and connect with it- i have not green hook like with my telephone connection but only white minus
Sou I think BB find my wifi connection but can't take internet from router?
I had only one time working connection, but next day it lost
The same problem i found on other forums but no one know how to solve the problem.
Please help me solve this problem.
ps: sorry for my english hope all is understandable
RegardsI, too had problems connecting my iTouch with my home computer. I did everything suggested and then called Apple. They worked very hard for me to find the problem ... even the engineers got involved. They found that the Symantec firewall downloaded from my ISP, Comcast, interfered with the iTouch communicating with the computer. As soon as I disabled the Symantec wall (not the internal mac firewall) my iTouch was back communicating with my computer. Apple deserves a lot of credit for isolating the problem. So, for those of you with this problem, check out your third party security software and remove what you must. Kudos to Apple customer service on this one.

my voice call services is not working with cellular network...only works fine with wifi..please help?
Since you have already done some sort of reset on your Airport Express, you might as well make sure it was a "hard reset" - follow the instructions for a hard reset found at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
Since your Mac is running Leopard, you need to configure the Airport Express using the Airport Utility found in the Applictions->Utilities folder. You cannot install the old software that was supplied on the CD you got with the Airport Express.
In future - if you do something bad with network settings on your Mac, do NOT try to fix it with the Airport Utility. The Airport Utility is only used to configure the Airport Express - and since the problem you have created is on the Mac and not the Airport Express, there is no need to be using the Airport Utility and especially there is no need to be resetting the Airport Express. -
Problem with wifi connection ever since I upgraded to ios 6?!
My wifi isn't working right and I just upgraded to ios about an hour ago. I clicked on the wifi network I wanted to join, and I have a connection but when I click on it, apple.com comes up and asks me to "Log In" but on the page it says "Sorry the page you're looking for can't be found" I'm not sure if this is an ios 6 problem or just a problem with my ipod/wifi, but please help me?!
Common problem. Ugh. I was hoping to find hope in these forums. ipad 1 and ipod touch 4 both are unable to use the app store for anything other than software updates! Crash crash crash.
And people are complaining about the maps!? -
Problem with wifi connection at home
Hello,
I have a MacBookPro4,1. I have a weird problem with Wifi.
At work, it just connects to the network instantly. At home,
the connection usually does not work for the first time, I have
to Turn Off and Turn On Airport card several times before it
connects to the network. While this was happening, I changed
my router (from ASUS-WL500G DeLuxe, to DLink AP with 802.11n
and now I have a newer ASUS with 802.11n). It is still the
same. For this reason, I suppose the problem is caused by
other networks. I also reinstalled the notebook now, as
Snow Leopard is out. The same thing.
I have another MacBook Pro (older model), that just works
and iPhone also works. I have applied all Airport firmware
upgrades and also Software updates.
It drives me a little bit crazy, when it takes me
10 minutes of restarting airport to get a connection. When
I'm connected, everything works well, no packet drops, 100%
signal.
I have read about similiar problems in another forums,
but with no solution. Please help!
Juraj.This is often a router channel problem. Your home router is sending out wifi on one particular channel and being picked up by several computers lessening the chances of another computer connecting. Almost all routers use a general channel number so everyone in the neighborhood is on that channel.
Try changing channels - usually between 1 - 4, and see if that doesn't work better for you and your MBP. -

Verizon is the 4.3 update causing problems with my phone because my phone is having problems
I have been having multiple problems with my GS3 since the 4.3 update including wifi connection issues dropped and frozen calls frequent unmounting of my sd card bluetooth problems to site the worst. I have updated and reset my router checked and reset my phone settings multiple times taken my baterry out of my phone 2 a day on average turned my phone off multiple times a day to reset it. I am now wondering what will fix all these problems because nothing i have read from your forums has done anything, how much longer do i have to pay full monthly prices for services i can no longer full monthly access?
Your phone is a mini computer, no matter what os it runs.
Software updates from various developers , patch and patch again. Adding to the original App software already on your device. Not only do updates apps take up more room on your device with each update, but imperfect updates and the communication with other services on your phone lead to many software "glitches". When there are major software errors, the best remedy is to clean it out and start it fresh.
It is recommended for Apple devices suffering from battery life problems, app crashes, lack of device storage and other issues after the iOS 7 update.
Android devices are no different.
It is drastic, but sometimes unavoidable. Don't forget to back up any information that is unique to the device. -
Java update causes problems with color printing in Mac 10.5
Had a big problem with color printing for the last two weeks. Thought the printer was broken because it would freeze and refuse to be "seen", or would generate error messages. Bought new Samsung 315, and had the SAME problem. Bought new HP CP1518ni, and had the SAME problem. Not resolved after talking to tech support at both places.
Looked for software updates around the time of the onset of printing problems. on May 15 installed "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 update" (1.0) (am running on 10.5.8). Removed the Java preferences files (com.apple.java......plist) and restarted.
Problem solved! Clearly not the printer.Hmmm. This is about the time my printer stopped printing too. I've now had two printers in my house and had trouble with both of them. What a pain we should not have to delete updates for our stuff to work together.

Firmware update caused problems with HBD-N790W
Latest firmware update caused my DVD Blu Ray Home Theater to lose the ability to find internet video content. The unit shows that the 12/19 update was successful. I can access the internet and get web browser content--so there isn't anything wrong with my wireless web connection. My unit shows the connection to the internet is working. I made a YouTube video about it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nqYNNVPcBA&list=UUNQaJbjyKQwFlZXY6832mIA The set-up feature does not work and I lost my video channels (Netflix, Amazon). I don't really understand why my connection to the internet works, my wireless works...everything works except getting updated media channels. I have tried plugging and unplugging cable, modem, wireless, unit, for ten minutes many times. I reconnect the unit to the web...get buttons that say that internet content can be updated...press the button...then the Sony logo and it stops there.
Hi, i work for a Service center for walmart and bestbuy and i have been getting this model in for service for awile now, after a firmware update the systems have reported to work good till there turned off the first time and then they dont book up all the way, you will get a Sony logo at top left screen and the Blue Bluray Logo in the center of the tv screen and thats it, no menu functions the controls on the player it self flash on and off slowly you can turn the system on and off with the remote but thats it, this looks like a failed firmware update but there seems to be no way to reflash these even with the firmware you can get from the sony site you have to burn a CDR disk but becuse there is no menu you cant get that far, i have 19 of these units stacked up 5 have been replaced with other brands to make customers happy, the rest on still in wait for a fix, its looking like replacement of main board will be the next step in this night mare. if sony tech wants to shine some lite on this now i would be very gratefull. Thanks Chris R.
