IPhone Upgrade Disables Wifi

Just upgraded my iPhone 4S to OS 71.2 and found that my WiFi was disabled. I was able to receive messages but could not search using Safari, login to YM and Skype. However, everything worked normally when using 3GS. After trying to reset the Network Settings and All Settings with no change I restored the phone to a pre-update condition. After restoration the WiFi function worked normally. Clearly Apple has a problem. I have read some threads that said the problem was due to the upgrade frying the WiFi chip. Obviously that is not the case but it appears the upgrade is altering the Network Settings. If anyone has had either a similar experience or a solution I would be most interested in hearing from you.

Using iPhone with disabled wiFi

Hi,
My ATT 3GS iphone was unlocked for me after 4 years and I intended to use it as GPS in France with a new SIM card.
The WiFi meanwhile has stopped working - motherboard problem.
Can I still use itas a phone in France and for use its GPS capabilities since neither rely on WIFI?
Thanks a lot,
Raphael

i would contact O2 and ask about femtocell... they are either doing trials or selling the service at this point. if they are doing trials you would be a perfect candidate for them as your situation is what femtocells are all about.

I upgraded my wife's iPhone 5c to iOS8. Need help

Hello all. I upgraded my wife's iPhone 5c to the ios8 last night. All day or had been showing the cloud drive as upgrading. I don't think that this is right? Any help is appreciated.

She will have to log into your iCloud account on her iPhone and select My Photo Stream in the Settings/iCloud/Photos window. That raises problems regarding her own email, calendars, etc. since she will be logged into your iCloud account. She'll be getting your email, messages, etc. if those options are enabled.
Have your wife create shared photo streams to share with only you each month,. Then you can download from the shared streams and import into iPhoto.

New update 7.0.2 disables wifi, button does not turn on. Iphone 4s

Hi there, I was just trying to help you and offer some staight forward advice on this issue

there are a number of threads on here about the issue, also do a general search and after reading for a few hours you will find out what I tried to relay to you before Apple unreasonably removed it
good luck!

After upgrading iOS 7 on my iPhone 5, the wifi is not working . It cannot detect any wifi nor am I able to enable wifi under settings. Is there a way for me to fix this?

Hi samer almasri,
If you are having issues with enabling Wifi on your iPhone you may want to try a couple of things to troubleshoot. First of all I would quit all open applications on the phone and try again. See this previous thread for how -
How do I close apps on my iPhone with iOS 7?
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5581063
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -

If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

maybe this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have our iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices no problem. Any thoughts on this?

.....doesn't that seems to suggest the modem?
That is what I have suggested....twice now. From posts above:
My opinion would be that it is likely not the ISP, unless you have complete loss of Internet service for all devices at the same time......it is the Comtrend device....
and
I believe that the problem lies with the modem, and not the ISP signal.
Your ISP will likely have a different opinion, though. Please keep us posted on your progress.

If you look at google there are some problems with ios8 and it happens to be wifi issue for me.
If I look at google, I will find that people reporting problems with every version of iOS. And accounts of being abducted by aliens. Just because you are having a WiFi issue does not necessarily mean the issue is with iOS 8 (correlation does not prove causality). Until you've done proper trouble shooting (or had Apple do it for you if you don't feel equipped), it's almost impossible to say why you are having a problem.
My iPhone 5S is not having any issues with iOS 8.

HT1688 iPhone 4S no WiFi anywhere iOS 5 after Apple Tech help same issue on iOS 6

ISSUE - can not connect to any WiFi hotspot at all
Several weeks ago my daughters iPhone 4S AT&T (on iOS 5) phone number failed to connect to any WiFi hotspot on her college campus including: campus wide WiFi, Starbucks or her Cisco 1500 WiFi in her dorm room. She has an iPhone 4S under warranty (I think now in the range of 30-20 more days).
The iPhone couldn't find any WiFi at all, but her roommates iPhone 4 worked perfectly everywhere on all hotspots.
So I have been paying for massive data overage charges with AT&T because the iPhone 4S is broken.
AT&T and then APPLE tech support first call 4 hours long
She rented a car and drove home 47 miles (94 miles round trip) and spent the afternoon a few Sundays ago and I spent 4 hours on the phone with AT&T and then Apple support.   I was weird I pointed our that her phone was 0.06GB over capacity e.g. a yellow caution alert in iTunes - but the Apple tech on the phone said just back it up and we would reset and restore it.
We did all the usual stuff with AT&T and then they gave up and moved us to Apple (backups, resets, then a full system factory revert, and restore) - it was brutal I hadn't seen my daughter in 2 months and her entire visit was a tech support nightmare.
Despite saying I did not want her to upgrade to iOS 6.X - the apple tech wanted to do a full restore BUT the restore procedure triggered an unwanted iOS 6.X upgrade (and wiped the phone and started a massive download) without my permission - it was a slow painful 1 hour 40 minute download. Worse yet I kept thinking that if she is 0.06GB over capacity and the iOS 6.X is "bigger" than 5.X what was going to happen to her phone ? The apple tech got testy with me when I pointed this out I had to say "you know if a glass of water is overfilled by 0.06 and you want to replace 2 oz with 3 oz (e.g. the iOS upgrade form 5 to 6 ) then obviously it will spill some more - she didn't get it.
So I have a near 2 hour download - scheduled a call call back but was hung up on (Apples IP phone system couldn't here me talk) and had to go back through AT&T's 611 support number support to get an Apple technician since the Apple line said it was closed - her iPhone was in a limbo 1/2 upgraded state waiting for user input in iTunes.
During the restore (I say during not after) that her WiFi did start working while the apple tech was on the line BUT the restore was still gong on in the background - her camera roll took 16+ hours to restore ( yes sixteen hours !!!) - during which time she left the phone tethered to her Mac-book didn't use it and left her Mac-book attached to a power source.
Overall she says that lost some data and her also her music playlists on her phone, and it did connect to WiFi when the rep was on the line and when she first got back to the her college campus.
Comments (not related to the issue at hand):
1. Overall this was a very very time consuming experience - I am a computer guy (not stupid but not super Mac knowledgeable either) but it seems to me that we should be able to attache the iPhone to iTunes and Apple should be able to remote control everything instead of saying click her click there and having Apple technicians say there is a non-existent menu (she was mixed up between Mac OS-X and Windows PC iTunes) here etc. etc.. Seriously why have the end user involved this is 2012 and if the iTunes is on the Internet there is no excuse for not granting access to Apple Tech!
2. As for iOS 6.X (I loaded it my IPhone 4) your maps are crap and useless I hate it thanks for giving me a worthless mapping system - I gout out my old GPS unit and put it back in my car. Seriously give us back Google maps. My other daughter gets pop-ups upgrade to iOS 6 but can not load iOS 6 because it then says not enough space. What a joke !
---------------------------------------ISSUE recurred after 1-2 days can not connect to any WiFi at all
But it only worked for one (1) or two (2) days and then under iOS 6.X the same issue started happening.   Her iPhone 4S failed to connect to any WiFi hotspot on her college campus (LMU) including: campus wide WiFi, Starbucks or her Cisco 1500 WiFi in her dorm room. The exact same thing.
I keep getting hammered on over use cellular charges from AT&T despite she should be cooked due to all the WiFi radiation coursing through her body on campus form both her own Cisco 1500 hotspot and the campus wide network.
---------------------------------------AT&T tech support second call AT&T said the phone was broken Apple should replace
So it only worked for one (1) or two (2) days despite my daughter driving almost 100 miles and being sucked into a a marathon 4 hour tech support nightmare with Apple. The net result the exact same thing started happening again no WiFi capabilities again. So I had her call AT&T at 611 and the AT&T technician talked to her looked at the lengthy case notes from the prior call e.g. the history and said that the iPhone 4S was defective phone no point in wasting another four hours of every one's time. She was told by AT&T to go to the Apple store get the iPhone replaced as it was under warranty.
Problem is that she has no way to get to the Apple store (no car) so I now have a 94 mile round trip to pick her up and go to an Apple store before her one (1) year warranty expires - as such I made this appointment.
I did some more research and this seems to be a pretty big problem for people - Apple is hiding the issue hoping people just go away and they have no concept of cost and time that they force down customers throughts to debug problems.
It even seems like Apple actually hid a known problem from me during my initial four hour tech nightmare that Tim Cook admitted publicly on Sept 24, 2012 (last few links) see below links for further research:

All in all Apple is really dissapointing me 5 iphones and the newer they get the more bugs 3G worked great no issues, iPhone 4 no major issues, iPhone 4S buggy WiFi - never want to use an iPhone 5 form what I am reading.

No one is going to read your lengthy post.
If the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide don't work, then bring your phone in for replacement.

I have an iPhone 4s, but wifi the option is greyed out. The wifi stopped working on it months ago. Now I wanted to erase all content and setting from my old 4s and it will not connect to the internet, because the cellular data is no longer connected, since I bought a new iPhone 5c. I can't erase my phone by pluggin it into my Macbook Pro, since I can't disable the "Find my iPhone" App without internet. How do I erase all the data and setting on my 4s without connecting to the internet? It is running ios 7

I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post
http://thebigboss.org/guides-iphone-ipod-ipad/dfu-mode
Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone.

Iphone 6+ slow wifi

after upgrading my iphone 6 plus to ios 8.1.2 my wifi speeds are very slow [gone from 60-80mbps to 20 at best when my home speed is 150mbps+]
I've tried a few solutions like disabling wifi networking and resetting network settings but nothing works, my wifes phone is an iphone 5s and hers is fine, ive reset my router several times and nothing seems to work. I use the Ookla speedtest app to test my wifi speed on the phone
Has anyone solved this yet please

Same problem here with my 1st gen iPad Mini and iPhone 6. I believe it's a hardware issue.

TS1398 Got the dreaded no wifi on my wife's iPhone 4S. Wifi greyed out and no luck with the reset network instructions. Why isn't Apple addressing this issue? We are a family of Apple product users, 2 ipads, an ipad mini, 4 iPhones but one isn't working!

Just out of warranty. This is a software issue. everything was ok until the software update. Apple just need to sort it out.
