Iphone 4s scanning for wifi but not finding

I have iphone 4s
My phone is not scanning for wifi
its turn on but finding nothing, some time find my home network and after some time disappear again

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Power cycle the router.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • HT1695 How can i connect to a wifi with my Iphone 4s when it searches for wifi but never finds any signals anywhere available?

    My Iphone 4s can not scan for wifi signals. My phone was jailbroken and it was working fine until one day, my phone began to have problems searching for wifi signals. It connected and took longer to do so, however the next day it didnt pick up any wifi what so ever. I tap settings>wifi>on> and its an endless search in places where there is wifi.I saddly lost my hard drive where i kept a back up for my iphone, so restoring it from a back up wont do. I plugged it in on another
    computer which i had to set restore as a new phone. I did and i still hasn't worked, i am open to suggestions and the following i am aware of:
    It hasnt been dropped
    condensation/humidity (which i dont want it to be because it has been raining a lot and its never been wet)
    Thank you in advance!

    - Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod: 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 your router

  • Exchange 2010 - iPhone will work in Wifi but not ATT 3g

    Hello Everyone,
    This is my first time posting, but I'm desparate!
    I have an Exchange 2010 environment at our CoLo (not on site). I can connect to it on my iPhone 4 on ANY wifi network (home, work, etc), but if I connect to it via ATT 3g - no dice. I'm pretty sure it's a DNS issue, but there's no way for me to see what ATT DNS servers are returning. Anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how long ATT caches DNS queries? Thanks in advance!
    EDIT: It's totally DNS. I cannot hit OWA in safari either while on ATT, but again it works on WIFI everywhere. I setup DNS a little less than 24 hours ago, so I'm surprised that ATT is still having issues with it... Now I wonder if I can call ATT and see if they can flush the cached queries >.<

    EDIT 2: Of course ATT was useless. Tried to transfer me away from them (to Apple and even Microsoft lol). I guess it's just a waiting game to see if their DNS servers get with the program...

  • Can connect iPhone to friend's wifi, but not MacBook Pro. Says password is invalid.t

    My friend gave me her wifi password so I can connect at her house. I onnected my iPhone with no problems. But when I try to connect my MacBook Pro I keep getting a message that the password is invalid. It's the exact same password I used to connect my phone! recently she had relatives visit and the same thing happened for them. What's up?

    You would do better to ask in the Mac Forum - this is the iPad forum.

  • Iphone 5s connect to wifi but not 3g any help

    My iPhone 5s cannot connect to the internet via 3g or 4g. But when I go on to wifi I am able to connect to the internet ok. Any help please. thanks

    Have you contacted your cell/mobile provider? Since you can connect via WiFi, the next place to look is your carrier's network.

    If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast.  If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used.  The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID .  Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network.  A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default.  Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in.  HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you.  You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files.  Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

  • Minecraft PE: "scanning for WiFi Games..." never finds any on same network

    My daughter wants to play Minecraft PE with her friends when they are here at the house, but I cannot get things to work.  I suspect this is an Airport issue because we have done everything that the Minecrafte forums suggest to do to get this to work.
    We use a TimeCapsule for our wireless network in the house.  It is configured in Bridge mode because the FIOS modem between it and the Internet doesn't accommodate any other configuration.
    All the iOS devices (iPads, iPod touches, etc.) are all on the same wireless network in our house.   They all have their servers set to visible.
    Yet when the kids want to join a game on a friend's device (in the house, on the same wireless network, and servers set to visible), they just get "Scanning for WiFi games...."
    I have googled this problem, and the only discussion which seems pertinent is this (http://goo.gl/jMlYZ) in which the solution is to "make sure you have 'Enable Wireless Isolation' unchecked."  The poster was talking about the set up for a NetGear router. 
    Airport Utility does not give access to such a setting as far as I can tell.
    Any ideas?

    Okay, nevermind the sync for now. I did know it has to be connected to power, but that is irrelevant since my devices won't appear in iTunes at all.
    I am pretty sure the issue is with iTunes, as the it persists no matter what network I am on. I just moved recently, and now have internet with an entirely different provider and still no luck. Today I changed my network name and password, reconnected my computer, phone, and iPad all to the same network, no change. I also tried ending the "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" process in Windows Task Manager repeatedly, a solution I saw in a thread for the same issue - still nope. I have Norton Internet Security and manage all firewall setting through there. iTunes and all related incoming and outgoing connections are allowed, so it's not my firewall either. I am at a sincere loss with this.

  • When i try to connect my iPhone 4S into iTunes through wifi or USB it will not connect the other thing  is when i hook up my iPad into iTunes it will connect through wifi but not USB? Now is this a issue with my iPad and iPhone or is this iTunes?

    When i bought my iPhone and my iPad they both were on iOS 7.0.2 i updated them shortly after thinking the new iOS 7.0.4 was better. i see its not but they both worked great with iTunes before and after the update. My question is why is my iPhone not connecting to iTunes? it will not connect through USB or wifi and i know that the setting to do that is turned on. my iPad connects through iTunes through wifi but not USB. This isnt making any sense but i wanna know is this a iTunes issue? or is it my phone and iPad??

    This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable.  Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

    Hi 21saz1987,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPhone is not locating any Wi-Fi networks and know situations with Wi-Fi connectivity can be frustrating. I understand that you have already performed some troubleshooting but the issue has not been resolved. In this situation I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.

  • I want camera ,apps and wifi but not the phone. Can I do that?

    I want camera ,apps and wifi but not the phone. Can I do that?
    I'm sure this is a common Q but I've spent more time then needed already to find the answer with no luck.
    It's a free star to a polite answer

    This rings very true. The iPhone is subsidized by AT&T by a significant amount. This is corporate line fact.
    AT&T's subsidized price for the iPhone is as follows:
    3G - $99 for the 8GB & $149 for the 16GB.
    3GS - $199 for the 16GB & $299 for the 32GB.
    These prices require signing a two year contract with AT&T.
    Apple and AT&T's non-subsidized/no-committment/full retail sales price for the iPhone is as follows:
    3G - $499 for the 8GB & $549 for the 16GB.
    3GS - $599 for the 16GB & $699 for the 32GB.
    The iPhone is an iPod Touch with a phone that also includes a GPS receiver, bluetooth, and a camera. It also includes proximity sensors to turn the iPhone's screen off when holding the iPhone up to your ear and face during a call.

  • Email comes in on wifi but not edge

    I have an email account with rcn and i can get email with wifi but not with the edge. I know with blackberry i had to set it up through blackberry. with the mail on edge it just gets a rotating progress bar until it quites trying and then if you hit the refresh it does nothing.
    thanks,

    Hello,
    Yes...but it will depend greatly on your email service:
    For POP, I don't think there is a way for Outlook to reconcile changes made at the server back to itself.
    For IMAP, it can be done, but you must be sure that you've integrated the account into Outlook as IMAP.
    If the account truly is full EAS, then that should work as well with Outlook, as long as it's been properly integrated to Outlook.
    If this is instead a BESenvironment (you should be able to tell...if you see Notes and Tasks as also available for sync to your Z10, then it's BES), then you need to talk to your BES admins.
    Goodluck!
