IPhone 3G OS 3.1.2 New Network Problems

Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 3G to OS 3.1.2, the phone has network and reception issues. The phone goes into "searching" mode at random times and won't come out of it unless I either reboot, or turn on airplane mode and off to connect back to my carrier network. While in "searching" mode, no calls, voice mails, sms or anything comes through, so it really does seem disconnected from the network.
There have no geographical changes (my home and office are in the same place as when I had OS 3.0).
Anyone else with fresh 3.1.2 network issues?

I'm not sure why but my problem appears to have solved itself partially. When I enable 3G I now get full cell service as I did before instead of a weak signal. (Disabling 3G gave me full service which I wasn't happy with but it was more important to get cell service than data at 3G)
Anyways, here's what I did though I'm not sure it helped at all (Maybe my service provider ROGERS was doing some work on 3G service, although nobody else had the same issue).
- backed up iPhone
- I restored my phone a 2 times without success.
- Decided to blank out the entire iphone and set up the iphone from scratch without any improvement.
- I was able to load the backup on to the iphone bringing me back to where i was at step 1
- Disabled 3G mode for a few days and decided today I was going to try it out and see if enabling 3G would still reduce my cell signal and surprisingly it didn't!
I seem to now have the issue where wifi signal is intermittently weak but at least I have 3G with full cell service.
I realize the above doesn't present much of a solution but maybe it's related as I was running 3.1.2 fine for quite a while before the 3G no service issue appeared.
Maybe it was a temporary glitch with Rogers' network.
Well good luck.

  • TS4611 Guys if you have these build: 12E3200 and your wifi is dropping, is not the your mid 2013 macbook air, is your router, I solve it by setting up my time capsule as a new network problem solved

    Here is what I have been doing:
    I got my new macbook air 11" two weeks ago, and have been haven problems with wifi connection dropping, I'm using verizon fioz at home, and their router
    I also have a time capsule not set up as a network just join it to my current one.
    After looking online all these days, I though, maybe is the verizon device that is updated..
    I then reset the time capsule, created a new network
    connected my system to the time capsule network, and there it is
    DONE, everything works now.
    So if you are haven the same problem,, that is the fix
    hope that helps.
    Oh  before I did these I try everything, the wifi update from apple don't work it keeps dropping it
    I try everything, so don't and delete the system as some people have done, I read somewhere.
    try my fix hopes that works.

    I have seen lots of issues on Yosemite with Wifi (and have been having issues myself), but yours seem different. It is a pretty new computer, have you tried taking it in under Applecare (if you live somewhere this is convenient)? Maybe you just got a defective wifi card.  I won't defend Apple over this wifi mess, because it really is terrible, but your issue seems not the same as the ones I've read about while researching how to fix mine (unsucessfully....).

  • IPhone 5 iOS 7.1.2 cellular network problem after reset

    There is something wrong with version 7.1.2 cause my 4S has issues after updating to 7.1 with Bluetooth and WiFI (they disconnect)... its impossible to go back once the first version 7 is done... sorry... you have to, either wait for an update from apple or make them change your phone! I had to change 2 times my phone 4s before i realized it was after the update.

  • A new networking problem (for me, at least)

    For some reason, I can no longer connect to my Mac Mini from my Macbook on my home network by clicking on its name. I can only click on its MAC address. However, I can go the other way, accessing my Macbook via the Mac Mini. Also, I tried the Screen Sharing after the problem occurred and that worked both ways.
    When I try to connect in Finder it says "Connection Failed." When I click on "Connect AS," I get the following error message:
    +Connection failed.+
    +There was an error connecting to the server. Check the server name or IP address and try again.+
    +If you are not able to resolve the problem, contact your system administrator.+
    Both have OS 10.5.2. My Macbook is a 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo, and the MacMini 1.5Ghz Power PC G4.
    I've checked everything, and even restarted my server, to no avail. I don't know what else to do.
    Any help would be appreciated

    I'm getting a similar problem. When I try to connect to another server (one of three Macs, each running 10.5.2), my MBP is now giving me either (1) a never-ending "Connecting…" or (2) "Connection failed. There was an error connecting to the server. Check the server name or IP address and try again. If you are not able to resolve the problem, contact your system administrator."
    I just noted this problem today, and I have not made any changes to the network settings (that I'm aware of). I've tried turning off firewall, restarting, rebuilding permissions, resetting the PRAM, and creating a new user—none of which resolved my problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciate.

    Does the iOS devices connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS devices see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    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.

    Since both iPhone and iPod stopped connecting I suspect a problem with your network.

  • I have gifted an airport extreme to a neighbor and I assumed she would be able to connect and "create a new network" with a new password on her iPhone. That didn't happen. It keeps asking for my password. What next? Thanks!

    Have them perform a complete power recycle of their networking hardware. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Also, make sure that they perform a "factory default" reset on the AirPort (as described in the tip) to be sure to return the AirPort back to its "out-of-th-box" configuration.

  • Wifi suddenly not working with new networks?

    This is already my second iPhone 5, since the last went into warranty because, ironically, of a wifi problem.
    The other day, I was just minding my own business when I decided to try to connect to the local wifi of the place I was at the time, and it wouldn't connect. It would find the network, I would put the given password in and it just stayed there. The keyboard would disappear, like it normally would, but instead of returning to the wifi menu in the Setting app, it just stays there saying "Connecting to "X" network..." and nothing happens, unless I do either thing: if I tap the Home button and go back to Settings, it brings me back to the wifi menu, still unconnected; if I drag down Notification Center or bring up Control Center and bring them up/down again, a pop up shows up saying "Can't connect to the network". Apparently, this is to new networks, since when I got home, it automatically connected to my house's wifi. On the spot, I tried reseting everything from factory, and try to connect to another wifi nearby, since I had a copy of my phone on iTunes, and it worked, and when I came back to that same wifi, it didn't but I scratched the option that it was that router problem, because now I'm at my other apartment in the capital, and tried to connect to wifi (since I reseted everything and had no password saved automatically) and the same thing happened.
    Help me out here, I'm going insane!

    Turn off your router, wait ten seconds and turn it back on.

  • Sudden airport problem - due to new networks in the building?

    I've been using my airport extreme network for some time, without any problems. My macbook suddenly stopped recognising the network - although my iphone and other computers continue to use it without any problems.
    The network name no longer appears in the drop down Airport Extreme menu, although several other networks in the building do.
    Strangely, this seems to have occurred just as several other people have moved into the building and set up their own, new, non-airport extreme wifi networks.
    Is there anything I can do to force my macbook to re-recognise my own wifi network? I've tried clicking "other..." on the drop down menu and then typing in my network's details, without any success.
    Switching everything on-and-off hasn't helped either.
    Thanks!

  • My iphone 4s won't detect any wifi networks.

    Hi
    My iPhone 4s won't detect any wireless networks.  It was working fine until last night when the connection dropped int he middle of me watching a programme.  At first I thought it was our router, but I reset that about 5 times, and all other devices are working fine on it.  The phone won't detect any other networks either - if I ask to join a network it comes up with the message "could not scan for wireless networks".  I have tried resetting the network settings as suggested on the support page, but it hasn't worked.  Can anybody help?  Thank you.

    If no change after resetting network settings on the iPhone, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • Connect to new network

    my home network has a pair of Mac minis and a few windoze machines, sometimes my iPhone, printer, and an Airport Express. I just switched from cable to fiber optic (FIOS) & renamed my netwrk and selected a new WEP password. Everything is back up except the Airport Express which I use to stream music to my powered speakers. Figured I need to re-set it up with the new network name & pword, but the airport utility isn't seeing it ... I tried connecting it directly to my router with a cat5 cable but no good - the status LED just blimks yellow, and I can't see it to configure it. Like a Catch-22; I can't configure it till I get it on the network, and I can't get it on the network till I configure it  -  how is this supposed to work?
    thanx

    You need to reset the AirPort Express back to factory default settings so that AirPort Utility can see it.
    Pull the AX from power
    Wait a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the AX back in the power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 40-45 seconds for the AX to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    If you want to configue the AX using wireless, you must first log on to the signal the AX is broadcasting for setup purposes. Look for a wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. The open AirPort Utility.
    Or, temporarily connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the AX and then open AirPort Utility to configure the AX again to "join" your new wireless network.
    By the way, WEP has not been considered secure for a few years now, since it is easily cracked with free utilities readily available on the Internet You might want to consider using a more secure setting, like WPA2 Personal for your wireless network.

  • IPhone works great , Just have a new sim card installed

    I read a lots of comments about the Iphone 4S . I had all the problems where it did work for a few minutes and tried everything . Main thing is you need a new sim card 128mb not the 64 . Do not use your old Sim card that you have on the Iphone 4 , Looks like it wares and does problems. I helped many friends where I am now at the Red Sea in our resort in Egypt and thye had many problems but one main thing was the Sim Card.
    Other than this no problems at all.
    good Luck and hope that you like your Iphone 4S

    No carrier "automatically" unlocks at end of contract - many won't do it at all, even if requested.  I don't know what your carrier's policy is since you didn't say what country you're in.
    However, if I understand you correctly, you didn't change carriers so it doesn't matter if it was unlocked or not. Try the following steps, as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons for at least 19 seconds until the Apple logo appears
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    4. Replace SIM card (don't care what Telstra says)
    5. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup
    6. Take phone to Apple.
