Iphone 5s with ios 8.0.2: wifi slower and can't connect
Hi all,
I regret that I updating my iphone 5s to ios 8.0.2 last night. Now, I'm facing an issue when using wifi.
It always disconnected from the router and it's slower.
I can't connect to some wifi also, it just showing the load without connecting to the wifi.
I did a fresh install, reset everything but didn't help much.
Amazingly 3G(I know it's lame, I live in the third world country) is better than the wifi.
anyone else facing the issue?
Hey Karrett,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the iPhone wont connect to the iTunes Store. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

IPhone 4s with ios 6 shows full wifi signal but can't access to the internet while other idevice can
Hi everyone,
I updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 a few months ago and there was no problem until I change my sim card to other carriers last two days. This second sim card is the same sim card that I used it earlier this year with no problem. But the problem I face is when my iphone goes to sleep mode I realised that I can't receive any push notification from imessage, Whatsapp, and Line. When the phone is awake the wifi signal is back and I have to go to each application in order to get the message. I have tried the following methods but it didn't work: reset all network settings, restore as new iphone, push home and power button together, switch off my iphone, turn on airplane mode, and even change my router. At the moment I have restored my iphone as new for the 5th times.
Now the problem is worsen, after the phone is sleep for about 5 minutes and when I awake my iphone it shows the wifi signal. But I can't access to the internet at all. It shows no working internet on Whatsapp. Safari can't load any web page, the weather app can't update temperature etc. I have to switch off and switch on wifi in setting menu so that I can use the internet. And when I leave my iphone four about 5 - 10 minuetes then the problem start again. While I can't access to the internet on my iphone 4s, I used my dad's iphone 4s with ios 5.0.1 and it works just fine with the internet. My laptop can also access to the internet with the same wifi network but not my iphone.
Does anybody know what's going on with my iphone 4s? Is it the bug from IOS 6 or my iphone is broken? Please help me.
Thank you.Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S. Your problem is most likely not related to iOS 6, but you should probably update anyway.

My iphone 5, with iOS 7.0.2, is heating and consuming the battery very fast when 3G is on, even when I'm not using it. Any solution?
iOS 7 has many multiple tasks. You can save battery life to some extent by few steps. First go to location services and bettr 'Off' them which are not needed. (Ex. Notes.. Reminders.. Etc). Also you can off few apps in 'get notifications' centre. Also usage of 3g by any mobile consumes much battery life. Better to connect any Wi-fi

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.

Wifi sync not working on iPhone 5s with iOS 8.0.2
I have an iPhone 5s with iOS 8.0.2, and iTunes 12.0.1.26. Sync via wifi doesn't work (with one partial exception[1]). USB sync works fine, but when the phone isn't physically connected via a USB cable, iTunes doesn't know it exists. On the phone, in Settings/iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, "Sync Now" is disabled and it says "Sync will resume when '[my computer name]' is available". It's got the correct computer name.
In the online help, I find the following claim:
When the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes.
In my case, the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, and the iOS device does not appear in iTunes. I had a previous iPhone 5S which was able to sync via wifi to the same desktop computer on the same network. That one may have been iOS 7 (I can't check because it tried to learn to swim).
The checkbox in "Summary" is checked:
I tried unchecking it, applying, checking again, and applying again. I then restarted both iTunes and the phone.
[1] Partial Exception: I found an "answer" on here where you turn off three different random features on the iPhone, turn them back on, reboot the iPhone and the computer, and then WiFi sync does actually works -- exactly once. Now it's disabled again. All that fussing around was enormously more hassle than just finding a USB cable; if I wanted to spend half an hour performing 10-second tasks I'd have bought another Motorola product.
Is there a solution that works permanently, or do we just wait for a fix in a future OS revision?On your iPhone 4S go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Click on Wi-Fi to both disable and enable it. If you are still unable to enable this setting it may be possible that the iOS7 update did not take properly.

How can I tether via USB my iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1 to my MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.2.2 ?? Please note that at the same time Personal Hotspot via both WiFi and Bluetooth works perfectly!
Hello, lustige luka.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The Personal Hotspot feature using USB should be as simple as connecting the device to your Mac via the USB cable when Hotspot is enabled. Here is some more information regarding this feature and an article that will provide some troubleshooting steps if you are experiencing an issue.

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 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.

IPhone 5C with IOS 7.1.1 and wifi problems
I just got iPhone 5C with IOS 7.1.1. When I'm trying to connect to my wifi, it asks for username and password. No other Apple product has ever before asked me for a wifi username. Also tried with my iPhone 4, also with IOS 7.1.1 and the same problem. When I insert the username and password, it just says that it's incorrect. Any ideas of how to fix it?
I restarted my router. After that I could log in without problems.

IPhone 5 with iOS 6.01 WIFI to 3G/LTE problems
I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.01...Whenever I leave my wi-fi range and it connects to 3G or LTE, I cannot use the network, safari requests stand still, texting doesn't work, basically all network connectivity is gone. I have to reset the connection by turning airplane mode on then off. I've only noticed this after the 6.01 update. I tried doing a hard reset but it didn't solve the problem. Anyone else in the same boat?
I have the same issue. Had it with 6.0 and now the same with 6.0.1. It also happens for me after I've been on a call for a period of time. You can also turn off and then turn on the data connection in the Cellular options as an alternative to the airplane mode. I have not seen any clear answer to fix this issue in the discussions.
Apple Support today had be restore my setup on the iPhone again. I'm waiting to see if anything from the restore has resolved this. I also pulled the sim card and let that reset as well. -
I have an iphone 4s with ios 6. I am trying to setup a new exchange email account. I need the back slash but it does not show up on the keyboard. I know it is supposed to be on the +key (and is for other apps) but for some reason it is not available when setting up an email account. Is this on purpose or am I doing something wrong?
I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data? Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text. Does your husband receive your imessage as a text? -
The calender on my iPhone 4 with iOS 6 no longer syncs with iCal 4.0.4 on my mac OS 10.6.8. However it is syncing with my iCloud account. Can someone help me with this?
FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.
