Iphone 4s 32gb.loaded ios 8.1 now phone doesn`t work
Hi everyone.
I`m new to this and could do with some advise.
I`ve got a iPhone 4s 32gb. I`ve had it for 2 years and it`s always worked perfect.
I recently loaded ios 8.01 on to it and not long after it lost Wi-Fi. And it would only work on Wi-Fi if the battery was above 60%.
It`s also became slow and sometime freezed, but if I rebooted it it would work for a while.
Now I just loaded ios 8.1 and now it won`t work at all, Can`t make any call , No internet, No Wi-Fi, freezing all the time and will not switch off.
Is there any way of reloading ios7 because it worked perfect before I loaded ios 8 in it.
I hope some one can help mas i`m stuck without a phone.
many thanks for your time.
I found that I was unable to update to iOS8.1 - essentially it seemed that I didn't have enough memory on the phone, but in trying to download the update it filled all the available memeory (d'uh Apple ... why not check before downloading??? ). Thus, when I tried updating via iTunes, iTunes wouldn't update the phone either because there was not enough memory. Eventually the phone was nearly bricked - it would not start without being connected to iTunes and I had to restore it. That took 6 attempts because the download from Apple seem to cut out. Finally on the last attempt the phone was updated, then I did a restore from a backup in iTunes. The only residual problem is that phone won't back up now into iTunes because it disconnects.
Deeply unimpressed with Apple's updating process now. It's reminiscent of Windows updates in the bad old days.
FWIW the 4S does sputter a little under iOS 8, but it is fine mostly.

Iphone 4s (verizon): updated to 6.1 now phone doesn't work
Since updating to 6.1, iphone 4s is not getting incoming calls (not showing up as missed calls, just goes to voicemail). Outgoing calls also don't work (just says "calling" but never connects). Facetime works (surprisingly). I've tried to restart the phone and that still did nothing.
Have you tried a backup/restore? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

Applied OTA update and now phone doesn't work!
I applied the OTA update offered this morning to my Droid RAZR MAXX. After the phone rebooted, the screen was blank.
When I reboot now, I see the Motorola log and then nothing. I can hear the boot sound, but I can't see anything.
I tried to reset the phone. When I select the recovery option, the phone reboots and then shows the little android guy on his back with an exclamation point over him. I continue on the the next menu and choose the factory reset/wipe data option. After it successfully completes, I reboot.
All of this and I still don't have a working phone.
I took my phone to the local Verizion store and all they could tell me to do was contact Assurion and make an insurance claim. I have a real problem with this considering it was Verizion's update that caused my phone to quit working.
Anyone have any ideas?Are you attempting the reset through the phone settings or the manual hard reset?
Through the menu it is settings-privacy-factory data reset-reset phone-erase everything.
If you are unable to reach the main menu to go into settings you will need to perform the manual hard reset.
1. Power the phone off.
2. Press and hold the volume up/down key and then press and hold the power button.
3.When you see the boot menu release all buttons that you are holding.
4.Press the volume down key to choose recovery then press the volume up key.
5. From the droid triage screen press and hold the volume down key, then press and release the volume up key, then release the volume down key.
6.Choose wipe data/factory reset and then press the power button.
7.Choose yes to delete all user data and then press power button.
8.Choose reboot system now and then press the power button.
If this does not work/already what you have done then it is going to be a device issue that will need to be fixed by either a) calling motorola and seeing if they have a fix for it or b) going into a VZW store and having them update the software/flash the device if they agree to do that.
If nothing else works, defective device hopefully it's under warranty.
Good luck. -
Updated to iOS 5 and now WiFi doesn't work?
Worked fine after I had updated, but now the phones won't pickup the signal unless I'm right next to the router, and if I walk like 5 feet away it's gone. Even next to the router it's only like 2 bars. Can't be the router as I've reset it anyway, but our other computers work fine, even my Macbook Pro picks up the signal all the way out back past my pool and on my dock.
I've reset network settings, hard-reset, restored etc. No idea whats going on, but I see a lot of complaints about WiFi issues with iOS 5Also router is a Dlink 655 and is up to date, but like I said can't be a router issue when every other device is working perfectly and Macbook gets a signal way out back on my dock on the water. Both our 4 and 3GS on iOS 5 have same exact issue, within like a 5ft radius I have 2 bars of wifi (just dropped to one bar though)... the second i walk away into the kitchen or another room it's gone, netowrk doesn't even show up under WiFi (none do, even though there are other networks my other computers pick up from the area).
Apple screwed the pooch with this OS, how could they worked on it for way longer then other OS's and end up with the glitchiness one to date?
Tried changing the channel on the router to test, but made no difference. -
Updated to iOS 6 and now wifi doesn't work
It was working at first and now it won't connect. It just brings me to an apple page which states "Hmm, the page you're looking for can't be found." It won't connect.

I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.
I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone. -
Can anyone help? I updated my iPhone 4 with latest iOS 7 and now wi fi is greyed out, Bluetooth won't work and tbh am so angry! Phone now out of warranty so apple won't help without it costing me. Don't want to pay as its an apple problem not phone problem. It worked ok before. Tried everything, even clearing it down. Can't even back it up now unless I connect to a pc!
I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple. -
I upgraded to iphone 4s and installed iOS 6 but now my battery life is significantly reduced. What can I do to fix this problem?
I restored my settings my I got the new phone but I think I heard that with the iOS 6 updated that can be an issue and it is better to start from scratch rather than restore your settings.reset all settings
settings- general- reset - reset all settings
now reconnect to wifi
settings - wifi- click network name - enter password - join
if issue persists backup info and restore via itunes
Peace, Clyde -
I recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off". I have also logged off of iTunes in Settings, and it will not let me log back in. Just a few moments ago when I again tried to log into iTunes, it asked me for my Password, then replyed that I had no Match account; but I do. Is Restore the best option?
Any suggestionsI couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again. -

Hi _em24,
It sounds like you are having an issue with the upgrade to your iPhone’s version of iOS, a frustrating situation to be sure. Let’s see if we can get you back up and running.
For basic troubleshooting of upgrades, and assuming you are using iTunes to do it, I would suggest using the steps in this article -
