IPhone 5s WiFi Issue even with iOS 8.1.1

I had Problem before with WiFi. Check my Previous topic: iPhone WiFi Speed Issue iOS 8.1
At certain times of the day my iPhone 5s still have this problem Now Running iOS 8.1.1
Apple Please don't do this with us! i tried all the ways But there is no result (Changing Router, Reset etc.)
Should i wait for iOS 8.2 !!!?????

the issue to the use of Apple’s Wireless Direct Link (AWDL) that is used for AirDrop, AirPlay, and Gaming connections. I’ll go out on a limb and say the WiFi issues are because of Apple’s choice of using Bonjour over AWDL and that, given the constraints of the WiFi hardware, this will be difficult to get right in the first few updates ie 8.1 and 8.1.1 but given time it should be sorted out

  • Iphone 6 Wifi issues

    Me and my wife got iphone 6 two days back. Having really bad wifi speeds. comes back to normal after resets. All other devices on ios8 works fine.
    Called apple care. They seem to be surprised with the issue even though I see a lot of people having the same issue. Tried the following things
    router reset
    reset network settings
    reset and setup as new
    reset and and restore from backup
    disconnected all other devices from internet except the two iphones
    tried google dns fix
    turned off wifi networking
    UPgraded to 8.0.2
    what am i missing?
    thinking of returning both phones because I think it is a hardware issue
    thoughts?

    I changed my router authentication from WEP to WPA2 and so far the wifi issues seems to have gone...
    Will keep you posted. If this is the actual culprit, I am still debating to keep the phone or not. Not all public Wifi's are going to be having WPA2.
    The other thing that bothers me is that neither my iPad Air or iPhone 5s had these issues even with WEP and updating to iOS 8.

  • Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

    Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

    I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
    Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
    and plays properly.
    Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
    Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
    I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
    Thanks again.

  • How do I backup voice memos from iPhone 4 to my Macbook with iOS 6.0?

    How do I backup voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my MacBook, with iOS 6?
    I have synchronised them a hundred times but iTunes just doesn't backup my voice memos. And I haven't seen a playlist called "Voice Memos" on the left sidebar either...

    Look for Voice Memos under Genres in iTunes.
    With the phone connected, click on its name on the left. Then click on the Music tab on the right. Is "Include voice memos" checked?

  • IMac 10.6.8 will not recognize iPhone v.4.12.09 with iOS 7.1.1

    I cannot get photos from my iPhone version 4.12.09 with iOS 7.1.1 to appear on the desktop of my iMac running 10.6.8.
    It will not open iPhoto nor will preview recognize the iPhone as being connected. No way to get newly taken photos to iPhoto.

    Have you just tried opening iPhoto manually to see if your iPhone will show up that way?
    Have you tried shutting down your Mac and doing a PRAM reset?
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone.

  • My iphone 4S Black 16 GB with IOS 7.0.4 turns off randomly in low battery less than 15% and also when I am taking pictures from my front camera in low battery of 30%. This is happening very often. Can someone help here with advise?

    My iphone 4S Black 16 GB with IOS 7.0.4 turns off randomly in low battery less than 15% and also when I am taking pictures from my front camera in low battery of 30%. This is happening very often. Can someone help here with advise? The phone is slightly more than 2 years bought from singapore I live in India

    Either your battery is failing or your battery gauge needs to be recalibrated. Start by recalibrating:
    When it shuts off charge for just a minute or two, then restart (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Deliberately run the battery down until the phone shuts off at 1%. If it shuts off above 1% repeat the above until you get to 1%. Then charge for 4 hours with the wall charger without using the phone. This process will recalibrate the battery gauge.
    To prevent this from happening again about once a month run the battery all the way down to 1%, then continue until the phone shuts off. Apple recommends this in their battery help article, but they don't say why you should do it. The have some hokum about "keeping the electrons moving." Honestly! The iPad battery tip gives the correct reason.
    If this does not resolve the problem you most likely need a new battery. If you are near an Apple store take the phone in and they can test the battery for you.

  • Why is my iphone 5 battery dying even with phone turned off ?

    Why is my iphone 5 battery dying even with phone turned off ? Even when my phone is fully charged and I turn it off when I turn it back on the battery is drained. Why ?

    Completely drained when turning the iPhone on after being off?
    All lithium-ion batteries lose some charge when the computer or device is powered off.
    If the battery is entirely depleted after the iPhone is powered off with a fully charged battery at the time, something is wrong - unless powered off for a number of weeks or months.

  • Iphone 4s wifi issues ios 6.1.2.!!!

    Anybody with a solution to ios 6.1.2 wifi issues ? or should wait for ios 6.1.3..!
    When is 6.1.3 coming ? any idea?
    My wifi is not working at all... not able to connect any network. Apple is just ignoring this .....

    For the backup problem, take a look at this doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes

  • IPhone 5 wifi issue. IOS 6.0.2 vs IOS 6.0.1

    Hi all,
    Just want to ask if IOS 6.0.2 is better than IOS 6.0.1?
    Recently, i noticed that my iphone 5 will disconnect the wifi connection after a while when not in use (standby / sleep mode_10 mins). When first bought, the phone was perfect.
    Sometimes it will auto sycn back to wifi and sometimes not. IOS 6.0.2 software update on my phone states that it will fix the wifi issue but also heard negative issue such as the battery drain its power source very fast.
    Will be very appreciate to hear some suggestions. Thanks and cheers to all!

    It's because your phone will pick up LTE and then it'll lose it. What you need to do is turn off the LTE (until the service is better, more available) and you won't go in and out of service.
    Go to Settings > General > Cellular > Enable LTE - OFF

  • My iphone 4s doesn't work with iOs 8. Battery drains very fast!!

    After installing iOS 8  I'm starting to hate my smartphone. With iOS 7  the battery lasted until the evening while now barely reaches mid-afternoon with the same use of the phone and being careful not to leave apps in the background. I'm afraid to use the smartphone to save battery power ... frustrating!!
    I ask Apple to release as soon as possible an upgrade to fix all the problems with iphone 4s or enable us to return to iOS 7.

  • Iphone 4S wifi issues 7.0.4

    hey guys
    IPHONE 4S - Help needed
    first post on here as im at the end of my tether with this phone.  So after installing IOS 7.0.3 i had no issues untill about 2 weeks in wifi started dropping out intermitently, at home, and office. i took no notice.
    once i actually needed to use the Wifi about a week later is when i noticed Wifi was off and i couldnt connect.
    so after forgetting the home network and trying to re-connect i kept getting 'Unable to connect' or the network purely wouldnt show.
    so i wiped the phone to backup > issue didnt fix
    i secondly wiped the phone  to fresh > issue didnt fix...
    IOS 7.0.4 released > Install to backup > issue didnt fix
    booked into genuis bar ...
    they performed diagnostics > all clear
    they wiped phone to IOS 7.0.4 > Hey presto , worked like a treat .... but wait
    now 2 days later (sunday , phone got fixed on friday)
    Issue returned. Thought maybe the music or pictures or apps i reinstalled off the mac were corrupt and brought the issue back (unlikely)
    another fresh install to IOS 7.0.4 (this time, new playlist and no pics for the phone)
    Minimal apps reinstalled
    (ISSUE NOT FIXED) !!!!
    im getting so annoyed. the Home network keeps coming and going....
    anyone got any ideas. (i know its not the broadband as i have many other things hooked up to it and all work perfect, i.e. Tv, Mac, Ipad, Apple TV etc)

    ChrisJ4203, thanks very much for your input.  I don't mean to turn this post into an endless debate, but frankly I am still having a hard time believing that the WiFi died as a result of a hardware failure.
    My logic might be flawed, but here it is:
    While the iPhone 4S got very hot when wirelessly downloading and installing iOS 7.0.4 over the WiFi network, the WiFi chip and antenna had to be functional to complete the wireless iOS update.  Apple was very clear that iOS 7.0.4 is too large to download and install via cellular service.  Accordingly it would appear that any hardware failure had to occur in the few minutes between the download/installation of iOS 7.0.4 and its first use.  That window of opportunity is incredibly small in an otherwise flawless hardware performance.  I am not a big believer in long shot coincidences, so a WiFi hardware malfunction seems highly improbable to me, but not impossible.  A firmware/iOS conflict still seems more plausible to me.
    I also don't read much into Apple's "out-of-warranty" replacement offer at $199.  AT&T tells me that anyone walking in off the street (with or without a hardware or iOS malfunction) would receive the same offer.
    I appreciate that some iPhone 4S users did not experience any WiFi issues when they updated to iOS 7.0.4, but such difference could easily be explained if Apple used more than one WiFi chip and/or firmware in the iPhone 4S series.  Such an explanation would also account for iOS 7.0.4 (and 7.0.6) not recognizing the WiFi chip after the iOS update.
    Still perplexed, but thanks again for your kind efforts to help.
    Wonder if I can limp along long enough to spend my money on an Apple iPhone 6 ... but then again I don't want to be anyone's beta-tester.
    I am tempted to switch to a Samsung Galaxy or some other smartphone as long as I will be buying new accessories, but frankly I don't want to waste my time learning a new OS or core apps.

  • Iphone 4 wifi Issues

    I have searched everywhere and i cannot find an answer for my wifi issues.
    I have an iphone 4 and am using a belkin n+ router. Sometimes when i wake my iphone from sleep mode the internet doesnt work. It shows i am connected to the wifi on the iphone. Under settings it gives me the ip address, subnet mask, and dns. I even pull safari up and try to access my router (192.168.1.1) and that doesnt respond. The quick and easy fix is to turn off wifi and turn on wifi on the iphone, but thats a pain in the butt if your doing it 20 times a day.
    I have seen several posts on this issue and solutions but none have worked for me. This is what I have done so far, please let me know if I am missing something.
    -routers firmware is up to date
    -went from dual band (2.4,5ghz) to singal band (2.4ghz)
    -set up a static ip
    -used dhcp
    -click "reset network settings" on the iphone"
    -I have the latest iphone firmware.
    -My SSID is no hidden
    -I am using WPA2
    I think thats all i have troubleshooted. Also I have 8 other wifi devices connected to my network and have no issues what so ever with the rest of them, just the iphone.

    I just wish this would be fixed. Anyone have any solutions?

  • IPhone 5 not syncing music with iOS 7.

    ok. so i have 12000 songs on my itunes. most are CD burns or mp3/m4a files and equals about 50GB of music. they have fully synced and worked on my iphone 5 with iOS 6 and my ipod classic 120GB in the past without fail. however, since upgrading to itunes 11.1 and iOS 7, it will sync all songs but gets stuck saying "waiting for items to be copied." i has done this over night (ie: begun sync process at 8pm. all songs synced by 11pm. waiting for items to be copied still displayed at 7 am following morning.) i then clicked cancel sync as i had to go to work. in my music library on the phone it has about 75% of the songs there. the rest are greyed out.
    after this i got home and plugged the phone into itunes and it showed the 50GB of music as other (meaning corrupted files on the phone) so i removed all music from itunes library then put it all back in plus rwstored the iphone and did a resync. same issue. gets stuck on either "waiting for items to be copied" or "waiting for changes to be applied." checked next morning and still stuck on that message.
    any suggestions on how to fix?

    Yes. I seem to have fixed it, but not really. I erased all music from phone, and then manually managed a resynced eveything I wanted back on there. Interstingly, it didn't work the first two time and said (waiting to make changes) so I was freaking out. But the third time was the ticket and now we are good. Unfortunately, there is a bug, and until there is a real fix, my music that I have in itunes on my computer is not easy to get to the phone. It seems that many people have had the exact same issue since the updates. Hopefully it will fix itself in the next update. Thanks for help though.

  • IPhone 4s says "Invalid SIM" with IOS 7.1

    I have an unlocked Iphone 4s for T-mobile which allowed me to use the iphone on a metropcs plan with a metro SIM card. I switched to metro on Sunday, today being Tuesday, and it worked perfectly, perfect 4g, perfect T-mobile carrier. Yesterday, Monday, I took a trip to publix and my phone read "No service" and I figured it was an itch and I had no service in publix. But this morning, Tuesday, it still read "no service" even at school, which worked fine on Monday. So I restarted my iphone and then it read "Invalid SIM" and I looked up how to fix that: restarted it by taking out sim and putting it back in, didn't work. Airplane mode on/off, didn't work. Then I read to update completely, to IOS 7.1, which I did and it still did not work. I cleaned my SIM card, didn't work. Reset all settings, didn't work. I read all over that the SIM card may be damaged due to the updates but my sim card wasn't working even before I updated. I'm currently about to restore my phone in hopes of fixing it sigh, but tomorrow, if still not working, I will take it to metro and request a new SIM. Any other ideas guys :---(

    Hi,
    I also noticed a SIM related problem iPhone 5 after upgrading to IOS 7.1.
    It does not happen consistently, but I noticed that in certain times, iPhone "reception signal level" turns into "NO SIM" or "No SIGNAL" although SIM is perfectly fine and singal strength is high.
    I have no idea why it happens, but it started only yesterday after I upgraded to IOS 7.0.1.
    Apple engineers, please check this.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

  • Another iPhone 5 wifi issue I guess.

    I've seen the issue many are having not being able to connect to wifi, or connect and still getting no usage out if it. My issue is a little different. I can connect, but the range of my wifi is noticeably shorter for some reason. I'm getting less bars in the same locations of my house, and just dropping wifi in these locations where I never had any issue before. Also my iPhone 5 is significantly slower on on my wifi, versus my iPhone 4 on the same wifi. I'll include a video I put on YouTube to show how much. Downloading the same app, in the same place, on the same wifi... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfmoHrzjCWU .... This is just 1 test. I did about 10 in total,  6 YouTube video races, and 4 app download races. My iPhone 4 won them all, most by a lanslide like in the video.
    I've commented on the other wifi issue post. But I didn't really see anybody else reporting this kind of issue. I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or maybe you have a 4s or 4 and you can check yourself and let me know. Thanks :)

    I think this is interesting because even if all the people who are having connection issues, do finally get connected to wifi. Are they then gonna have this issue? Maybe not even notice it, atleast for a little bit. Then it becomes super annoying!!
