IPhone 5 ios 8 Can't rename phone

Weird issue!!
I can't rename my phone and have it stay with the new name for more than a week or so and it defaults to iPhone again?
Have tried this many times, so it's not just a one time thing.
This has been through multiple ios changes, maybe even back to ios 7.
Sounds like software, but have not seen this issue listed as a problem for anyone else, so I'm now thinking hardware?
This phone is very temperamental also with having to reset network setting very frequently in order to have push email work properly, especially but not exclusively when on wifi.
I wonder if there is a memory problem with the phone and data is  being lost and so these issues happen?
Anyone else have any in site into this issue?
Is my phone just screwed up?
Thanks

I am having the exactly same issues on my iPhone 6+ on iOS 8.0.2
I have a 2014 Apple TimeCapsule that creates a 2.4 and 5 GHz network, and my previous iPhone 5 never had problems connecting.
With the new iPhone I sometimes have the situtation that it is not connected to my WIFI and when I go into the settings, it is obviously searching and searching but NO network is being displayed. My iPad Air and MacBook Pro are sitting next to the iPhone have no problem connecting.
At first I did a reboot of the iPhone and it seemingly solved the problem.
Some time later, I had the same problem again, so I reset the network settings (and thus restarted the iPhone) and it seemingly solved the problem again.
Today I came home, switched on my WIFI and while all other devices were already connected the iPhone refused to connect / did not show any WIFI Networks.
I was about to call Apple Support and was looking up their number on the iPad when all of a sudden the iPhone connected to my WIFI and everything was back to normal (all networks show in the settings).
There is ONE thing I have to mention though: the iPad is set to connect to the 2.4 GHz network, since iPad Air and iOS 8 seemingly have a problem with 5 GHz networks.
This is really bothersome... ***** big time. And no - it can't be my router since its a perfectly fine working Time Capsule and all others connect just fine.
Please Apple, do something about the WIFI issues.

  • How do i find previous owner of iphone 5 so they can take the phone i bought off craigslist and take it off their account so i can use it.

    how do i find previous owner of iphone 5 so they can take the phone i bought off craigslist and take it off their account so i can use it.

    The same way you found them to buy it - use whatever means you
    used to accomplish the purchase on craigslist.
    Apple cannot/will not give you the information about any previous
    owner(s) of the iPhone.
    When/if you do contact them, here is what the previous owner needs
    to do:
    Backup the device to iTunes or iCloud, if desired: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
    Settings > FaceTime > Off
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (this only unregisters and deletes it off the iPhone)
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    More Info... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

  • IPhone 4S - iOS 5 - Something is wrong, phone is autocorrecting every single word... Can i reset the feature?? HELP!

    iPhone 4S - Is anyone else experiencing strange behavior by the autocorrect? it's trying to autocorrect every single word... for instance "is" corrected to "OS". ***? it's happening on every single word!! Can i reset the feature?? HELP!
    I have been an iPhone user since the first iPhone. In fact, i was first in line in 2007 at the Boston Apple Store at Chestnut Hill Mall.
    I've never experienced such strange behavior by the autocorrect feature.  Granted there is the occasional annoying autocorrect, but this is out of control. I can't even make it through a sentence without getting frustrated and wanting to throw the brand new iPhone 4S accross the room!
    Someone please help!!!

    OOPS!! This is a case of user error..
    I turned on a couple keyboards looking for the Emoji keyboard last night... So my assumption is that the "keyboards > language selection" is linked to the dictionaries the system uses for autocorrect?  Well, whatever the case, I turned everything off except English and Emoji and that seemed to correct the problem.
      If anyone else is having a blond moment, like me, consider user error first. LOL
    Have a good day!

  • HT4623 Updated iTunes to latest version, updated iPhone to iOS 7 and now my phone won't work at all.  Won't connect to my WiFi, and won't talk to iTunes . . . Now what do I do?

    I now have a useless $700 phone.  Updated iTunes to latest version (and can't get it to revert back to an earlier version), updated iPhone (iPhone5) to iOS 7 and now it won't talk to iTunes, nor will it connect to my WiFi.  What should I try now?

    If it won't talk at all to iTunes, you can hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds, it will power off, this is ok, then let go of the power button while holding the home button until iTunes sees it as a device in recovery mode.  You can try to reinstall iOS7 and then restore.

  • IPhone 5 iOS 6 Icon Issue Resets Phone

    The problem is the following:
    MY PHONE DOES A SEMI-RESET WHEN I HIT THE HOME BUTTON AFTER REORGANIZING THE ICONS.
    BREAKDOWN - Wanted to move the Instagram app to the first page so I moved the Stocks app to another page. First issue I saw was that the Stocks app didn't drop where I wanted it to - it flew back to the previous page. So then I grabbed the Instagram app, dropped it on the first page, then hit the home button to lock in the icons. But as you will see on the video, when I hit the home button, the phone does a semi-reset then when it comes back on, the screen is darker. It then gets brighter when I go to settings, brightness (but I don't have to move the scale to get it brighter, I just have to tap the option then it brightens up). When I go back to see if the Instagram app is on the home page/where I left it - it is not there. 
    Here is the video - http://youtu.be/dHF2yvajpOQ
    Anyone else experience this problem?

    Add me to this list. I also notice this happening on my brand new iPhone 5 (White, 32GB) that I haven't had for 24 hours yet.
    I move several icons around, hit the round button and three out of four times, the Apple logo appears briefly, and then the lock screen appears. I also am noticing that the icon I'm dragging to a new icon grouping screen, will slide back one page from where I wanted it to go. Then when hitting the button, the logo appears for 3-5 seconds, then I'm back on the lock screen again.
    The icon/s I was trying to move is back to where it previously was when I originally started to move it.
    Looks like we have another glitch in iOS 6. Time for a little tweaking folks. If you have similar issues, please report here so we can get this fixed. Something as simple as moving your icons around shouldn't be resetting your phone.

  • IPhone 4S - iOS 6 - can't see WiFi networks

    I have a strange problem with my iPhone. It's a locked iPhone, bought from Vodafone from my country. I use it locked and un-jailbreaked. I went in France for 2 weeks where i had my Roaming active, but i didn't used cellular data, only WiFi. Now, back home in my country, it seems that i can't see wireless networks. I tried to reinstall, update to the last firmware, it seems that wireless appear for 1 second when at first start, then it disappears and i can't see no more WiFi networks in list, tho there are like 10 networks around me.
    Any ideas? Or someone else had the same issue?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    i went to Vodafone. They said they will replace it. It seems like a manufacturing defect.
