Iphone 4s was unable to detect any wifi networks and was told to pay £159 to get the entire phone replaced, should i do it?

My iphone 4s does not detect any wifi networks but the apple genius said that the wifi signal seems to be fine but it just is not detecting any wifi networks and because I cannot find my receipt for the phone and the apple store only dates back purchases up to 18months ago, is there a way i can obtain my receipt?

If your warranty is up, the replaced iPhone will have a 90 day warranty.

  • My iphone wifi problem wont detect any wifi networks and wont detect any bluetooth networks.

    my iphone wifi problem wont detect any wifi networks and
    wont detect any bluetooth networks.

    It should connect properly with your iPad mini, but it requires an App.  Also mentioned on Garmins' site.

  • Ipad2 is no longer detecting ANY wifi networks.

    Hi, my 9 month old ipad 2 no longer detects ANY wifi networks. Was always logged on to our own home router and in settings was always able to 'see' neighbours wifi - now nothing shows.Is this a hardware problem?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • My iphone 4s is no longer detecting wifi since the ISO8 updates came out. I've restarted, rest the networks, reset the phone back to factory settings, and even tried the freezer trick. It is STILL not detecting ANY wifi networks. HELP!!!

    My iphone 4s is no longer detecting wifi since the IOS8 updates came out. I've restarted, rest the networks, reset the phone back to factory settings, and even tried the freezer trick. It is STILL not detecting ANY wifi networks. HELP!!! I cannot afford to go over my data and I use wifi at home and work... I believe the updates have caused the issue, because it was working fine before the second update released (I hadn't put the first one one until I noticed it had stopped working, and by then the second IOS8 version had came out). They need to do a third update to fix this issue.

    If it's grayed out:
    Reset Network Settings - if that doesn't fix it, then Backup and Restore AS A NEW DEVICE.
    If it's still grayed out, unfortunately that means your Wi-Fi antenna quit, and it needs service.

  • Today my Iphone  unable to see any wifi network

    Hello
    Today my Iphone  unable to see any wifi network.
    I tried to solve the problem in several ways.
    1. reset neteaork definitions.  -> did not solve the problem
    2. reset location and privecy  -> did not solve the problem.
    3. reset all definitions            ->  did not solve the problem.
    Doses any one has any idea that can help?
    Thakns
    Moti

    The only other option I can think of is to try a Reset All Settings reset.  You won't lose anything, but your phone's settings will ALL be set back to factory default. 
    If this doesn't work you could try to do a restore through iTunes and set your phone up as new.  If that doesn't work, you may have a hardware problem and will need to take the phone in to an Apple store to have it checked out.

  • 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.

  • [SOLVED] GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices

    In my experiments to get the headphone jack working my my Mac Pro, I have managed to break the audio system. That's often the result of experimenting towards solving a problem.
    I get this error when attempting to open the audio mixer panel.
    "GStreamer was unable to detect and sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem."
    I suspect that the audio drivers have been corrupted during my experiments. How do I restore them?

  • Apple TV 2G can't detect any wifi network. Any solution to this? I would rather not use a cable due the distance to my modem is too far... thanks

    My 2G ATv recently can't detect any wifi connection... Tried restoring and updating but no joy... anyone has a solution to this? I would rather not use a cable.

    Your AppleTV should not be looking for any wifi, It should be looking for your wifi. What kind of wifi router do you have and how far is it from your AppleTV?

  • IPhone 4 Doesn't Detect ANY wifi networks at all

    I just got my iphone 4 a couple of days back (Finally) and to my dismay, it failed to detect a single wifi network.
    After hours of throwing it around at home, it finally picked up my wifi network (although there are about 10 others which it didn't display).
    Thats the only network its been able to detect, I'm currently elsewhere and I would like to use it's wifi.
    My step-brother got his iphone 4 the exact same time as me from the exact same retailer and he has had no problems at all. Any help?

    My ipad 2 does that same thing but it hasent connected for 4 days.

  • Wi-Fi function available - However unable to detect any Wireless Networks

    Hi All,
    Yet another thread about Wi-Fi issues with the iPhone.
    --- Underlying problem I am experiencing. ---
    iPhone Wi-Fi function is available. When I try connecting to Wireless Networks I receive a message detecting available network and it will not progress from there. I have waited as long as 30 minutes.
    --- I have tried the following suggested fixes ---
    Performed test to verify Wi-Fi availability by trying to connect two iPhones to my Home Wi-Fi network at once from the same location next to Wi-Fi Router. One successfully detected Wi-Fi networks in a matter of seconds. Mine did not.
    1) Reset Network settings through General --> Reset Network Settings (Tried multiple times) = No change
    2) Tried disabling Wi-Fi and turning on Airplane mode then powering off the iPhone. Then power back on and then turn off airplane mode and reactivate Wi-Fi = No change.
    3) Tried upgrade to OS 3.1.3 = No change
    4) Tried downgrade back to 3.1.2 = No change.
    5) Tried restoring over 10 times = No change.
    6) Also tried to manually set Wi-Fi settings --> getting error *"could not scan wireless networks".*
    7) Power Cycling Wireless Router = No Change.
    --- Other Fixes I have not had a chance to try ---
    1) Reading other posts many are saying that they started experiencing similar issues after a OS update to 3.1.X.
    *Solution - Downgrade OS to earlier versions.*
    2) Others say it is a Heat problem.
    *Solution - Put it in the freezer*
    *Solution - Disabling e-mail Push functionality*
    3) Wireless Antenna is faulty
    *Solution - Buy spare and replace*
    Any feedback on the fixes I have not attempted. i have to admit that I was a little reluctent to stick my iPhone in the freezer.
    Any help would be fine.
    P.S. I have spoke to Apple support and they suspect that it is a hardware issue and it will cost me AUS$268 to swap the existing phone out. (I am OOW - Out of Warranty)

    Hey Beta990,
    Yes tried full restore to OS 3.1.2 and back to 3.1.3 which did not make a difference. I have two desktops and two laptops connected to my Wi-Fi router. I even did a test with my friends iPhone 3G 8GB and tried connecting simultaneously next to mine and his detected my home Wi-Fi in like 3 seconds and I waited for over 30 minutes and gave up.
    But thanks for replying though.
    I am out of warranty which really ***** and it will cost me AUS$268 to have it replaced at an Apple store. It sound very much like a hardware fault but I'm just hoping it is a software fault like some people are suggesting online for I don't really want to spend an extra AUS$268. (Tight I know...)
    Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. I tried the fridge fix... nah didn't work for me.
    PLEASE IF YOU KNOW OF ANYTHINGS ELSE TO TRY POST ME.
