IPhone 3.1.2 Internet connection issues and iPod application crashes

Was having problems connecting to internet with 3.1 that could be fixed by switching to airoplane mode and back, but with 3.1.2 internet service drops out (even though the screen shows all bars and 3G) and the only way to get it back is to switch the phone off and on. DOing this 20 times a day. Annoying.
Also, with iPod running, hitting the album icon in teh top right to get to the track listing for eht album causes the iPod application to crash.
Does anyone else experience this?

I also had problems with 3.1.1 which resulted in intermittently not getting access to the internet, not waking from sleep, etc. Now since 3.1.2 update iphone works better but at least once a day I am getting no connectivity to internet even though GPRS/Edge/3G is showing and the signal is strong
The only way to resolve it is to reset network settings, also losing my wifi settings.
Apple should have a blog to update on these kinds of software issues as it is hard to tell whether it is due to the hardware or not. I almost sent the phone back for repair last time only to find the 3.1.2 fix was aimed at exactly the problems I was experiencing. Although, as stated, still not completely fixed.
Also my battery life is worse by about 20%

  • Internet connection issues and Horrible support

    I have been using Verizon FIOS at work, home and recommened to all of my clients and friends. Had been using FIOS since it's available to me 6 years ago. It has been great, but I had a huge disappointment and horrible experience today.
    The home FIOS line had been having issues for the past week and half, almost everyday, it will have certain downtime, the ping time will go up to 6000+ ms, the download speed will be around 50K! I picked up the phone called Verizon for help, after 40 minutes of hold, this engineer (Level 2 according to himself) Joe, asked me a bunch of questions and basically refused to help, because he said there's nothing to help and NOTHING he could do from his end. He wanted me to run computer optimizer and not to use WIFI.
    We certainly have an issue, and the issue comes and go, it looks like Verizon support or this enigeer "Joe" thinks that I am lying and want to spend an hour of my weekend time to report a false problem.
    How do I file an complain about an engineer? (He told me i cannot escalate and cannot talk to anyone else).

  • Please can someone help me? Have iphone 4 and just returned home from abroad where the phone worked fine. Now it wont receive wifi. It picks up signal and shows on phone but cant connect to internet. Computers and ipod all working ok

    Hi, please can someone help me?
    Have just returned home from abroad where my iphone 4 worked perfectly.
    Now at home it wont receive wifi. It picks up the signal which shows in phones display but cant connect to the internet. Computers and ipod all working fine so I assume it must be a problem with the phone.
    Have checked that wifi is turned on and tried resetting phone to no avail

  • Ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes, has anyone else had the same experience. have rung Apple Care and they have reset my connection but it is still happening

    ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes....have reported this to Apple Care who have helped me reset my connection but it is still happening...cant believe it is a fault of the ISP as my Iphone does not have this problem, nor does my PC laptop...is this a fault in the new system?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • 4S Verizon Network / Internet Connectivity Issues?

    I have been having problems with what appears to be Verizon Network/Internet Connectivity issues. I am located in northern Colorado, using an iPhone 4S with a Mophie Air battery backup/case.
    I am in a solid 4G area (even though the phone is 3G) and I have not had any problems with any connection issues, until last night. I still see three bars of 3G service on the phone indicator area...so it is decieving. 
    I can still recieve emails, text messages, and phone calls, but nothing that uses the internet will work.  All apps seem to try to open and try to update, but the whizzy-wheel indicator just sits and spins until I get a "Network Error" message or a time out error of some kind. Most error pop-ups are saying to check the internet settings and try again. Ugh!
    Also, since it seems to be trying to recognize the network all the time (even when all tasks are killed and nothing should be running), my battery is going down MUCH faster today! I took it off of the charger at 7am and it was down to 20% battery in only 4 hours! Then I turned on the battery backup, and it is quickly using that up too! At this rate my phone will be completely DEAD by the time I leave work today, and I haven't even used it for anything all day (except to try to connect to the web a few times - testing)!
    I have tried the following so far to try to regain internet through the Verizon network, to no avail:
    checked for software updates...phone was up to date with iOS 6.0.1
    checked my firmware version (it is 3.0.04)
    killed all background/running apps (with the home button double-click/hold icon/end)
    "reset" my phone via a couple of methods (both the regular power off option and the force-power off option).
    *228, option 2 (to reset Roaming)
    cleared all data cache areas/cookies/etc.
    Cellular data is set to "On"; Roaming is set to "On" for all options;
    I have a 64GB device (57.3 usable capacity) of which I still show 46.2 available.
    WiFi is set to "Off" (although I can use WiFi at home with no problem if I need to, but I shouldn't have to!)
    Airplane Mode is set to "Off"; Restrictions are set to "Off"; Bluetooth is set to "Off"
    Basically, there is NO REASON my phone should be having connection issues! 
    PLEASE HELP?!!

    I tried everything you did and more, i thought i had it working, but i got a voicemail today and when i went to open it earlier it just has the wheel loading forever and then says it cant onnect to voicemail. the searching does make it wear down the battery faster as well.  i can get calls, texts etc, but i cant help but think there are a few bugs with the ios 6.01 software

  • My brand new mac pro always had Internet connection issues at school. WHY is that? I see the school's Internet working perfectly fine on other PC's, but there is never a day where my mac doesn't have Internet connection issues at school. How do I fix it?

    I got my mac pro in the middle of August. School started the week after. Internet was working perfectly fine at home. But at school, I never had a good connection. Sometimes on the good days I get a connection when I'm sitting at the exact spot in class I always sit at. It's ridiculous and it's frustrating. I invested my money into this laptop and I'm beginning to regret it. I thought it was the school's Internet, but I don't see Internet issues with other PC users. It's most frustrating on registration days and I'm trying to register for my classes before it gets taken, but again... Internet connection issues. It's random. Majority of the time, it doesn't work at all. I've done Network Diagnosis and turning WiFi off then turning it on again. I've done everything I could. I put my money on this laptop and it was a lot of money. I could have bought an 800 dollars laptop and I would have Internet connection anywhere on campus. So, I don't want to continue everyday to regret on buying this laptop every time I try to connect to the Internet at school or Starbucks or anywhere else. How do I fix this? What's the problem ?
    At school, I heard this guy had a problem with Internet connections too and he owned a new mac book pro. He said something like Apple messed up on something, but he fixed it. If I knew mac book pro's had these issues I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. It's freezing on me every other day. It's ridiculous. But what concerns me the most is the Internet connection. So someone please tell me what can I do next to prevent the problem? Am I doing something wrong maybe?

    Hi Kevin,
    I'm using an XLR input mic which is connected to the phantom power enabled XLR mic socket on a USB M-Audio M-Track. The M-Track is connected by USB to the Mac Pro - so effectively I've got an M-Audio USB soundcard with a mic input.  I've also tried a microphone that is a straight XLR to USB cable (guessing with some soundcard chip buried in the usb plug) but that also yields the same effect of bad latency, intermittent quality, stuttering and repeating and echoing (without the speakers on during record so its not feedback).
    The mic works absolutely fine with other recording applications I have on the mac at the moment - albeit non-adobe ones (tested it on the EasyAudioRecorder - and it lives up to its name. it's easy)
    I will try with Audition and report back, but sitting here right now I can imagine it would work fine with audition too - it just seems to be the way premiere is set up for recording into the timeline is a bit sketchy.  I'm willing to accept it might well be a quirk with the new Mac Pro trashcan - I'm not weighting all the woes on premiere.
    Any thoughts or am I out of luck to sit with my fingers crossed for a fix in the next round of updates?
    Nathan.

  • Internet Connectivity Issues

    By process of elimination, I may have the right source of my problem, but may not!
    Recently purchased a Time Capsule, primarily to replace my old Airport Extreme and extend its effective range within a new house. At the same time, I upgraded my iMac OS to Snow Leopard (so maybe this has caused a problem?!)
    In the last few days have been having severe internet connectivity issues - either v slow speeds or so slow that Mail and/or Safari times out. My ISP tells me that their lines are working fine (I know they would say that, wouldn't they) and, admittedly, my old Powerbook (connected to the Airport network and onto the DSL router) is running Internet applications fine. So somthing seems to be wrong with the iMac or its setup.
    Have run Network Diagnostics which tell me there's no problem (except it's still really slow!) and have obviously rebooted repeatedly (including the router and Time Capsule).
    Any ideas?

    Hello AnaB4,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that you are getting a message to connect to server to update ink levels when printing with the 8620. This has been an issue since the weekend, server problems have been noted as the cause. The only resolution I know of at this time is to follow the steps here: Re: How do I correct the date on my HP Envy 4500?, or keep hitting OK.

  • Internet Connectivity Issues, 511 CPU Fan not detected

    Hello,
    I have been experiencing some issues with my HP ENVY Pohenix 800-060 (running Windows 8.1) PC lately.
    My internet connectivity has been acting crazy. Pages won't load fully. For example, when I am on Facebook I can't scroll down and have more posts load. I have to hit refresh and sometimes it will let me scroll down further than before. To load sites sometimes I have to hit refresh. If I am using just the wifi I am constantly connecting and disconnecting at totally random intervals but it's stable if I use an ethernet cable (however the other issues still persist). Images won't load fully as seen here
    Also, starting yesterday when I restart my computer I get an error message that says 511 CPU fan not detected. I have opened my computer and dusted the fan and I have also unplugged it and plugged it back in to the motherboard to make sure it's securely connected. What's strange is that this only happens about 8 out of 10 times when I start my computer, and if it does happen I can simply touch the fan to get it started and it will work just fine until I turn my computer off.
    I noticed in the HP Support Assistant that if you update to Windows 8.1 it says that you may experience internet connectivity loss and hardware problems so I don't know if these problems are related or not. I have checked and my drivers are up to date according to the HP website that searches for updates for you.
    I am currently backing up my computer and plan on resetting it to factory default if I can't find the source of these problems. 

    Eldrscrolls, welcome to the forum.
    Please check the CPU fan thoroughly before using the computer futher.  If it has failed you could fry the components.  I don't know if it has liquid cooling, but if so, be extremely careful.
    A System Recovery is a very good idea.  After updating Win 8.0 to 8.1 on my HP Split, I had several problems, such as, wireless connectivity.  I did the Recovery back to Win 8.0.  It solved my problems.  After a few days I gave Win 8.1 another chance.  It has performed admirably.  If the system is overheating because the CPU fan failed this could cause your problems, also.

  • Internet connectivity issues on Mac

    I was wondering if there was any solution to an internet connectivity issue I'm having on a mac. It seemed to start when I purchased a new modem: an iPrimus AudioCodes MP252 wireless router. Basically the internet connection will either drop out or become stagnant/very slow. There have been no connection/speed issues on any Windows PC or laptop, but often when you try to use the internet on the mac it precipitates a network dropout, thus affecting the connection on Windows computers as well.
    I'm trying to see if there's anything else that can be done besides taking it in to be serviced. ISP support hasn't been able to fix the issue, so perhaps it is some sort of compatibility issue between that particular modem and Apple Macs. Obviously the last resort is buying a new modem.

  • EA6900 Internet Connection Issue - Desktop connected via ethernet cable

    Hi there,
    I have an HP p6837c, 64-bit OS with Windows 7 Home Premium. It is directly connected to the EA6900 via ethernet cable. My internet connection constantly drops (as in variably every 5 seconds to 5 minutes) then re-establishes itself. I have no internet connection issues when directly connected to the modem. All of the wirelss devices that are connected via the EA6900 are working without any issue. My husband's laptop, which has Windows 8.1, functions with no problem when directly connected to the EA6900 via ethernet cable. We've tried swapping out the cable. We've tried adjusting the MTUs per Support's suggestion. Nothing has solved the issue
    Any thoughts on what the issues might be? Settings? The version of Windows? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
    What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
    What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
    Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
    What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
    Check cable between Modem and Router and PC, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
    Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.
    I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. For cable Internet, RG-6 coaxial cable is needed, not RG-59. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.
    Router and Wired Configurations
    Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
    Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
    If http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6 is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only.
    PC 3rd Party Security Software Configurations
    Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
    Router Placement
    Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
    3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
    Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

  • TS1317 Internet Connectivity Issue - specifically with the DNS settings

    Hi there,
    I'm wondering if someone can help me resolve an internet connectivity issue on my MacBook Pro.
    It appears to be a problem specifically with the DNS settings. I am connected to the internet but can only reach a website by typing in the IP address, not the domain name. The error messahe says: "Unable to resolve server's DNS address."
    Regardless of whether I use Wifi, 3G modem or cable, i get the same error.
    Operating System is Mac OSX Version 10.6.7
    Please help!
    Thanks

    It sounds like your MacBook Pro has either incorrect or missing DNS IP address information in it network profile. Let's start with your wireless connection. You would find these in System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > DNS tab
    If your main Internet router is performing as the DHCP server, it would provide the DNS IP addresses (typically from your ISP) on this tab. You may have two or more addresses listed. If they are grayed, that means that the addresses are coming from the DHCP server.
    In the following example screen shot, I am using DNS servers provided by OpenDNS. Notice that they are grayed as they are being provided by my main Internet router. Again, these should be either ones provided by your ISP or ones you purposely set up, like my OpenDNS ones.

  • Internet connection comes and goes

    My Macbook is hooked up to my husbands wireless network and used to go through the Time Machine but he had problems with it so he took it off the network. Now my internet connection comes and goes every 5 to 10 minutes - it loses connection and then finds it again.
    My husband (the computer expert in the house) doesnt really care so it is up to me to figure out what is wrong. Can anyone help me?

    I think by "Time Machine" you actually mean "Time Capsule"--TC is the hardware, TM is the software the does the backups to the hardware.
    As for your problem: If the Time Capsule is "off the network," as you suggest, how is your husband connecting to the internet? What kind of computer does he have? More information is better here, to help us solve your problem--the wires come into the house and then what?
    It kind of sounds like you might be describing "Internet Sharing":

    Does any of that look familiar to you?

    Thank you Alancito for your reply.  The recent post you suggested was not necessary because another of your suggestions did the trick:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/11503337#11503337  In effect, it seems to have reestablished my connection to my MobileMe account, and my iWeb site now publishes on MobileMe. 
    My next step will be to transfer my iWeb site to another Personal Web Provider when MobileMe ceases to exist next June.  Any recommendations for a simple PWP?
    Thank you very much,
