IPhone 4 with IOS 5 not connecting to wifi

I got the IOS 5 update for my iPhone on October 12th. I was connecting to my home wifi fine. starting yesterday it stopped connecting. My laptops and other devices connect fine.
I've...
Rebooted the phone
reset the network settings
turned wifi on/off
turned the modem off for ten seconds and turned it back on
turned off then turned on my phone
Others have the same problem and I need a solution! My last resort is to restore my phone, but I doubt that'll do any good anyways. I'm thinking I should take it to apple and have them fix it. This isn't my fault, so they should be able to fix this for free, right?
Also, when trying to connect it to my wifi access point, it will load adn load and load and while I'm doing something, it'll pop up saying I've entered the wrong password. It's the correct password because I tested it out on my laptop and connected fine.
Any suggestions? No. Any answers that work? Please?

Hi all.
Possible fix:
Had this annoying issue, or similar. Songs on my iphone 4 would skip untilit found a song it could play, but often left up on the screen a different song to the one playing. It appeared songs hadnt been transferred or were missing causingthe phone to skip the songs.
I heard that if you get a 'weird' beep noise this is the 'shake to shuffle' feature which can be turned off via Settings>Music.
If you have a similar issue to mine, I read converting to AAC (right click song in Itunes and choose 'convert to AAC) could work, and did for me, but is time consuming and duplicates the song.
What worked for me? Turning off 'convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC' on the Devices>Your Iphone main menu (device summary page). This reloads all songs to the iphone and appears to fix the issue. I have checked a few songs I knew had issues and they now work, and I can get through 10+ shuffle songs (thats as many as I checked) without a skip.
Good luck. Let me know if it works.

    When the iPhone 4 with IOS 5 is  connected by cable to iTunes and check for update results in Error 1630, plz help me to update plz

    My Iphone 4 crashed yesterday after a restart and upload of OS 5.0, it will only partially sync.  It's not transferring any of my music or ringtones.  They still appear when I click open the sync screens on ITunes, but I don't seem to have an Ipod function and only one of my personalized ringtones transfers on the actual phone.

  • IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Keeps turning it off?

    IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Been like this for last 6 months.. Am real fed up with it.. Have reset, tried turning off but still not connecting.. Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Does "have reset" mean that you restored the phone to factory settings? If not, you might want to give that a try. You will want to backup first so that you can restore your data from the backup after you restore the iOS software.
    This will erase the phone and also download and install the most recent iOS version available for your device.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • IPhone 5C with IOS 7.1.1 and wifi problems

    I just got iPhone 5C with IOS 7.1.1. When I'm trying to connect to my wifi, it asks for username and password. No other Apple product has ever before asked me for a wifi username. Also tried with my iPhone 4, also with IOS 7.1.1 and the same problem. When I insert the username and password, it just says that it's incorrect. Any ideas of how to fix it?

    I restarted my router. After that I could log in without problems.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 with iOS 7 not display certain emails correctly

  • Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

    I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

    I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

    WHen Im connected to wifi I cannot send or recieve email from any of my email accounts and I cannot connect with KIK messenger. everything else works fine though. ANyone have any thoughts on this ?

    You cannot. It is a security feature and there is no workaround.
    Restore the iPhone using iTunes and then use your backup to
    put your data back on the iPhone.

  • HT5569 my iphone 5 with os7 will not connect to any wi-fi.

    Since I updated to the os7 this week, I have been unable to connect to any wi-fi.  Does anyone have good news for me?

    Try restarting your WiFi routers by removing power for 30 seconds. Note that WiFi is not automatically fine just because some devices may be working with it.
    On your iPad use Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings
    Try to connect.

  • IPhone 4s with iOS 6 not able to make calls?

    Everytime i try to make a call it shows calling mobile, then after a few seconds says call ended. Anyone else having trouble? Also no phone calls come through

    Haven't seen that issue yet but you could try doing a hard reset (hold down the power and home button together for 15s)  or resetting network settings (settings > general > reset > reset network settings)
    also does it show you as having good service where your at or have you had issues like this before

  • Suddenly today both my iphone and ipad will not connect to wifi.. I have never had any problems before.  Please help.  Should I reset all my settings?  Should I reset network settings?  What should I do?

    my iphone and ipad will suddenly not connect to wifi....
    Never had any problems before?
    Should are reset all my settings?
    Should I reset all network settings?
    Please help!

    With any wi-fi network or with your wi-fi network?
    If your wi-fi network, try resetting the wireless router and modem. Disconnect the wireless router from the power source followed by disconnecting the modem from the power source. Wait a few minutes followed by re-connecting the modem to the power source and allow the modem to completely reset before re-connecting the wireless router to the power source and allow it to reset with the modem before trying again.

  • App crashes when not connected to wifi

    Our dps app crashes on iphone and ipad(3) when not connected to wifi. I would expect a "you are not connected to the internet" error to appear, and then any previously downloaded issues to work, except for external links. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    There was a hotfix for this put out just after V25.
    Unfortunetly you have to rebuild your viewer and submit and update to Apple. From my experience they were very quick about approving the update because of the critical nature of the update even without putting in an expediated review request, but that was over a month ago.

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
    Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
    Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
    thanks.
    Sorry my bad Inglês.

    Try a reset hold home/sleep buttons until Apple logo appears
    If that does not improve try a restore
