IPhone 4s with iOS 8.1: Wireless networks not detected

My iPhone has ceased to detect any wireless networks. When I am trying to turn WLan off and on again, the settings app is extremely slow or hangs or the phone crashes and reboots.
I have reset the network settings several times with no improvement. I have mad a soft reset with no improvement. Does anyone have any ideas how this might be solved?
Thank you!

I had to do a complete reset of my iPhone 4s for another reason (the new iTunes could not access my Phone...). Afterwards wifi networks could be detected more often, even connection was possible sometimes. However this connection still is very unstable and frequently interrupted when used.
Just now, the iPhone rebootet while I was making a call... These wifi problems are just the top of an iceberg of problems I am having since I've installed iOS 8
I sincerely hope the announced 8.1.1 solves them (but I don't really believe my iPhone will ever be what it used to be). I doubt an iPhone is the right purchase for my next phone. There are other manufacturers out there who dont' force their customers to use a malfunctioning release of their operating system. I am talking about signing: It isn't even possible to downgrade and install a working os.
Apple, I loved you so much because you had beautiful products that work seamlessly. With iOS 8 you broke my heart. My iPhone is now a beautiful and useless brick of electronic garbage. From this day forward, I shall regard you as just another hardware manufacturer selling your products at unreasonable prices. Good luck with that. The question if you are able to uphold quality, innovation and design of your products without Steve Jobs has now certainly been answered.

  • My iPhone six with iOS 8.1.1 will not allow me to upload credit card data to Apple pay

    My iPhone six with iOS 8.1.1 will not allow me to add credit card data to Apple pay. It does not recognize my credit card in iTunes. I have I have set location to the United States, and restarted. Still nothing. When I enter the passbook app, hit the plus button, select set up Apple pay, select add new credit card,I get no response when trying to add credit card number expiration date etc., nor does the camera feature work. Bottom line is to date, I cannot add any credit card data at all.

    I am guessing there is something about your situation that occurred outside the U.S.  Perhaps you purchased your iPhone outside the U.S., or live outside the U.S., ...
    At the moment, Apple Pay only works in the U.S.

  • IPhone 6 with iOS 8, AirDrop function will not work.

    Hello,
    I just bought my wife and I to new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.02 on them. 
    We have tried to use AirDrop multiple times but it will not work.
    wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both enabled, and we have it set to discover are sent to everyone.  No matter what we do the phones will not discover each other and will not send an airdrop photo or anything else to the other phones.
    I am wondering if anyone else has run into this issue, if it is widespread are there is possibly something I am missing, however the procedure seems straightforward and it appears that it could be an iOS issue or something else going on. It should be noted however that some functions a Bluetooth work, such as connecting to Bluetooth speaker. But the iPhones will not discover one another and AirDrop simply will not work.
    does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this issue .
    any ideas are welcome and appreciated, thank you, Pete

    "Although my local Apple store told me face to face that I could not go back and restore to an older version of iOS, my cellular service suggested to save data to iCloud and restore to the store's original iOS 7."
    Okay, so I couldn't go back to the factory iOS 7 as the Apple store employee told me. Drat!  Note to self, do not automatically update iPhone first thing if it's already working!

    Hi all,
    I need to sync an iPhone 5S with Outlook contacts and calender over internal wireless network.
    I have just setup a new iTunes account and have iCloud installed on a Windows 7 machine.
    Thanks.

    You need to configure iCloud on the iPhone first then the Windows 7 PC...

  • Cannot use aipprint from iphone 4 with ios 5.0.1. does not find the hp m1212nf laser.

    have a hp m1212nf mfp(airprint compatible according to the hp web site) hooked up via usb to mac running OS 10.6.8., other mac hooked up via router to same network, Can print from both machines to the printer, which has the latest firmware installed.
    Want to print from iphone 4 running ios 5.0.1. Running on wi-fi, and tried to print, but iphone cannot find the printer. Any suggestions??

    In order to print using Air Print you will need to make sure your iphone 4 is connected to the same wi-fi network as the printer is. Also, what is the make and model of your router ?
    If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!
    If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.

  • My Iphone 6 with IOS 8.3 does doesn not accept my charger? i canot charge my device?

    I updated my iphone 6 to IOS 8.3. but since then, the device does not recognize the charger and it's cable. when I plug it in a message pops up saying "the accessories are not genuine and might not work reliably with this device"...or something like this. Now the device is turned off and i cannot even back up my data. Is there anyone out there to help me with that????

    Examine the charging port with a strong light and a magnifier. See if there is any lint or other debris stuck in the port. Try a different cable.

  • IPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 - Data Roaming Off/On control missing

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 does not have the Data Roaming Off/On control under Settings>General>Network. Where did this critical control go? It is still referenced in the iPhone user Manual for iOS 5. Note that this is very different from the Cellular Data Off/On control. The Data Roaming control should be default Off to prevent using very expensive data when roaming outside the USA.

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
    Is your iPhone belongs to your company?

  • Iphone 4s with iOS 8.0.2 too slow

    Iphone 4s with iOS 8.0.2 is not fluid. The software is not fluid. It is necessary a faster or a lighter version of the operative system for iPhone 4s: if the requiremnets are too high for iphone 4s it is better to use iOS 7.1.2 . My feedback on iOS 8 on 4s is not positive and improvments are necessary: in future do not allow the download of a software on a phone that can not support it. After the release of iOS 7 a year ago i had the same problem: only after some updates the lack of fluidity was fixed.

    iphone 4s, is update 8.0.2
    for me, this is not just an internet issue. I'm running the iphone network connection on DSL wifi
    and cable wifi. The problem is persistent regardless of time or the wifi network i'm connected to.  Additionally, there is general slowness that is experienced:
    1. when navigating any scrolling screen whether in an app or on the settings function, the screen freezes for 1-2 seconds and then appears to move.
    2. when switching between apps, the iphone back-screen goes black, then the app to which I have switched to, reloads.  This is problematic in that I lose data and progress (for example when switching between notes and safari) - this should not happen between programs that do not use much memory to run.  I leave 2-3 gb empty on the phone.  Additionally, I frequently "close" open programs on the task switcher, and i do not allow many programs to update in the background, nor do I permit location services on many programs.
    3. When using the copy function, I cannot copy over its last contents - the prior contents appear to be frozen there, such that when I try to paste new material, the older material pastes.
    There is no way for me to go back to is 7, which was much more stable for the iphone 4s.
    To the apple engineers: if an system update is not optimal for a certain phone hardware, please warn users on the update screen that it is such, or that it is has not been tested for that particular phone model.
    Thanks

  • IPhone not working with my Sky Broadband wireless network!! Please help!!

    I've just migrated from Tiscali to Sky Broadband, the iPhone worked perfectly with Tiscali but it won't with Sky across the wireless network. I set the new router up (it takes only minutes), and I easily got both iMacs in the house up and running in no time at all. But when I head into the Wi-Fi menu on both my iPhone and my parent's iPod Touch, it keeps saying "Unable to connect". It offers no explanation why, but the network key Sky gives you on a little card (it's either WEP or WPA) is what I am going off to enter the details. I've even tried to manually type the SSID instead of it searching for it, but even that's a no-go. Can anyone help me? I just have no idea what could be doing it. If both Macs work fine, and both Xbox 360s... I don't see why the iPhone shouldn't.

    I've got it working now, I had tried the caps before and it didn't work... just tried it again now and it's come on. Weird. Anyway thanks for the help

  • IPhone 4S with iOs 8 dropping wifi when unlocking the device

    Hi,
    my iPhone 4S with iOs 8 (8.1.3) is often dropping the wifi connection when unlocking the device. This started to happen only with iOs 8, iOs 7 was just fine.
    When unlocking the device after at least 2 minutes of inactivity, it seems to be weekly connected on the wireless network but then it drops the connection and reconnects back again at full power. This happens:
    - really, really often, but not always;
    - with any access point I tried (different wireless chipsets), both on DHCP and static addressing
    - with any wireless channel
    - both on 802.11g and 802.11n
    - rebooting the devices sometimes temporary fixes the problem (for 12-24 hours), sometimes it doesn't
    - restoring the firmware in DFU mode didn't help, neither did resetting all settings and restoring as new device.
    I really don't know how to fix this, I can't find anyone else having this problem on the Internet.
    Here's a video showing the problem:
    http://youtu.be/4ua9CPzKBfQ
    Thank you.

    Started happening to me on my IP5 with ios 8, on public & private wifi, completely random and was really frustrating, I forked out for a IP6 128gb and was ok but its started to happen again so it must be an IOS8 issue. The unit keeps dropping wifi and asking for passwords it knows, ignores your input then comes back by itsself after a few minutes
    To be honest Apple should be disgusted with themselves. The phone is pointless without wifi and if this is the solution it will not work as you cannot go to every router everywhere you go. $700 is a lot of cash for a useless bit of kit.

  • Please help. At work we have netgear and tplink. Since I updated my mini iPad and iPhone 4S with ios 7 and wifi drops all the time.

    Please help. At work we have netgear and tplink. Since I updated my mini iPad and iPhone 4S with ios 7wifi drops all the time.  What is the problem?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

    Hello everybody
    I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked to like if the device was used before what shall I do? PLease reply soon

    I can't do that because the device was purchased from United Arab Emirates and I got it as a gift in Syria but the problem is that there is not even a single apple store in Syria so is there another way to fix that, I googled it and was told to jailbreak the device whitch I did and than hacktivated it but the problem is the device doesn't connect to any network and only shows "no service" and the battery draining too fast so is there any other way to fix this issue
