IOS 8.1.2 on iphone 6 Wifi drops and doesnt reconnect

Hi,
I had the an issue with wifi dropping and not reconnecting automatically on my iphone 6 with ios 8.1.2
The wifi was disconnecting every minutes even when the screen was not locked. I had to go back to wifi settings and reselect the network I want
I tried all the tips available (forget network, reset network setting, reboot phone, disable location, disable air drop/bluetooth, etc)
This was happening mostly in hotels with annoying DNS that redirects you to a web page to login with name/room # so changing wifi router settings was not an option
I finally set up static IP adress as mentionned in another post and now my wifi is stable for 3h (and reconnects works too)... thanks
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6554548?tstart=0
I have resolved this issue on my new iPhone6 as follows. My router is a fairly old Belkin in this case.
1) on iPhone in settings, WiFi, forget this network
2) select the network again and select the blue i button
3) Log in to your ADSL router from another device and note network and DNS settings
4) on iPhone reconfigure using Static settings rather than DHCP (thats what I did anyway)
5) Log in to your ADSL router again and restart it or power it down and up again
6) on iPhone reconnect to the WiFi when it restarts
Now everything seems to be ok with the iPhone connected and staying connected.
However this is more a patch than a fix because when I leave the hotel (or any wifi network), the router will assign my static IP to someone else end when I come back it wont work anymore,
My guess is that IOS 8 has problems reconnecting to a router when a new IP address is leased.
The fact that the signal is weak might also affect the frequency at which the ip is renewed
FYI, I have always been a android user and just switched to apple... Not impressed. Hope this is fixed shortly

Jay,
I've tried most everything as well (including new router before I realized it wasn't our iphone 5's but IOS 8 updates. After turning off LTE and Data Roaming in the Cellular settings, things work much better. WiFi stays connected. Have since re-enabled LTE and it still works. Tried a dozen other "recommendations"; it may have been a combination of things. Still not blazing speed, but tolerable. Just wish 8.1.3 had the fix (from what I've seen today, it's not fixed). Be glad you're not having the SIRI hands-free problem; she won't connect calls in one car and has problems connecting in the other car. About as many have this problem as the wifi snafu that came with IOS 8.

Also, I noticed that going to the settings section is disabled service "Find iPhone".
To get to the point tinctures "Messages" and "FaceTime" takes a few minutes.

IPhone wifi bug and battery drain in iOS 8.1

I have an iPhone 5s 32GB and updated it to iOS 8.1
the wifi bug is still there and my battery drains within 4 hours of normal use(no gaming)
the option to chose 2G/3G isnt there too
any help ?
Please fix these bugs soon

Power cycle the battery, let it fully drain to where your phone shuts off and then fully charge it without using it.
As for mail if you have it set to push try using manually fetch - the server will only check for emails when you open the mail app, instead of pushing the mail to your phone when you receive one.

Iphone wifi dropping connection when locked

all in the title but, when locked it forgets the wi-fi password, and so i have to re enter it.
iphone 4
belkin wireless n router with wpa passphrase.

Are you hiding your network identification (SSID)? If you are doing that, it is a pretty common complaint. In either case, the fix is about the same:
Fix 1
When you are connected to your network, tap Settings > WiFi > and then tap the blue ">" next to the network name with the check mark.
The next screen will give you your connection information. Scroll until you find "Forget this Network" and tap that.
That should return you to the Settings > WiFi page. Tap Other, and then re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
Fix 2
tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Your Network Settings
When the iPhone restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > Other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
Fix 3 - if all else fails
Reboot your router (uun plug it from it's power source).

Wifi dropping and NEVER working

I have read many posts on different users having their Wifi working for 5-10 minutes, and suddenly disconnecting, and I have tried all the methods that others have contributed, but somehow it doesn't seem to work for me.
Here's my issue: I have an iPad 1, 64gb, with ios5.1. Now, on the top left of the screen, the Wifi symbol is shown, but I can never get it to connect to the internet. I have tried bringing it to different places, and the Wifi always works for maybe 10 minutes, and it drops. When I try and connect it back to the Wifi network, it never works ever again. For example, I go to Cafe A, wifi connects for 10 minutes, drops. I try and connect it again, but it doesn't work. I go to Cafe B, same problem happens again. Then I go back to Cafe A, and the Wifi will NEVER work again.
I tried forgetting the netowrking, rebooting the thing for dozens of time, restarting it to factory settings, restoring it, backing everything up and just about a dozen methods, but i never seems to work. But all the other devices on my house connects perfectly to the Wifi network, so I'm pretty sure it's not my Wifi problem. Like I said, there's the Wifi symbol on top, but it can never connect...
Help please? It's really grating on my nerves, and I haven't been to use my iPad for the past 2 weeks.. ):

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. 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.

Wifi dropping and slow when external USB hdd connected

Hi,
I have a problem with Wifi connection in my Macbook Air 2014 running Yosemie 10.10.1. I have USB hub, which is plugged to power and I have connected external sound card, Apple keyboard and my external HDD (I used it as Time Machine) to it. Sometimes my Wifi starts dropping and internet is extremely slow, but when i unplugged external HDD, everything seems to be fine. I've tried 3 USB hubs, but still the same problem.
Does anyone have similar problem?
Thanks for any advice.

go into system prefs -> startup disk and select the disk with os x on it. that should solve the problem

Lenovo G585 - wifi dropping and video freezing

Hi all,
I bought this Lenovo G585 (Win 8) in January this year, and over the past few weeks some problems have been developing. When I move the laptop, either the video I am streaming freezes, or the wifi drops, or both. Sometimes, even after 5/6 restarts, the laptop will not be able to find the wireless networks and I will have to shut it down, remove the battery, replace the battery, and turn it back on - and for some reason this works!
When I say "move" I literally mean I can be sitting on the sofa and move the laptop from beside me up onto my lap. The problem occurs when I transport the laptop between rooms, too.
I've updated the drivers, changed power management settings, updated my antivirus and run scans, all to no avail. What can I do next?

hi nikitgr,
When Heavyload is stressing the CPU @ 100% load, the CPU clock speed should reach 1.4Ghz as this is the specifications of the processor. (the image below only shows half). As far as I know, you should be getting 1400Mhz per core on 100% load.
If you see the same values above after running Heavyload CPU stress test, I recommend you report your findings to the Lenovo support team as to check if this is a limitation of the unit as per design or if there's a BIOS fix to correct it.

Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

TS1398 Since I updated my iPhone wifi comes and goes

Ever since I have updated my iPhone 4s to the new update iOS 6 my wifi connection keeps coming and going (mainly going) what can I do to stop this from happening?

Am having same problem and so many others too,i've tried many suggested solutions but none has worked out,,waiting apple to resolve this issue

Recently downloaded and (tried to) installed IOS 8.1 for my iPhone 6 (16GB) and now all it does is load the white screen with the black Apple logo and then crashes and shows a red screen. The cycle then repeats. Suggestions?

Title says it all.

Hi Cornelius6505,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone does not start up past the Apple logo. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

IPhone Wifi Password and Browsing

I have logged into my home network on iPhone with my password, and it says in the network connections that I have logged on because it does not tell me that I was unable to join. When I return to the main menu, the WiFi signal strength meter does not come up, and when I use Safari, Weather, and Stocks, EDGE is used to retrieve the web data and not the wireless network that I have signed into? Does anyone know what is happening here?

A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

IPhone WiFi off and on

Hey folks,
I have a 1st gen iPhone (for now, new one is on "direct fulfillment" whatever the **** that means w/ ATT), and I upgraded to 2.0 to get a taste of the apps. There seems to be a problem now with it's connection to my router. If i bring up Setting -> WiFi, it shows my router and the checkmark that it's connected, and i'll see the wifi symbol in the top bar, and it stays there, shows full signal, until i try something that actually involves using it, and it reverts to edge. It does this every time now, i've tried resetting the phone, the router, airplane mode on and then off, to no avail... any ideas?

in short, I was putting in the wrong password when I was connecting my iPhone to the network. Even though I was entering in the wrong password, the iPhone would place a check mark next to my wireless connection and would temporarily and frequently say it's connected. But when I would click on any icon on the home page, my iPhone would switch from wifi to 3g or edge. Once I figured out I had the wrong password, I ientered it in and haven't had the problem any more; the iPhone connects and stays connected to wifi unless I do something that can't be done over wifi such as making a call or text messaging, which then it will switch to 3g or Edge, but shorly returns to wifi after finishing.

HT1414 My iphone 4s drop and stop coming on normaly, only comes on when on charger

I listinig a Podcast withe my Iphone 4s 64gb it drop from my bed and is not coming on anymore. It only turn on when is on charger

One thing to try is a updating, either via iTunes or OTA, to 6.1.3 to see if that cures the problem. Also, once you've updated it set it up as a new iPhone and see how it performs then. If it's fine after that try restoring from your backup to see if the problem comes back. It could be an issue with your firmware that's currently on the phone and it might be residing in your backup
