Iphone wifi anttena dammaged

I have an iPhone 4s and recently it stopped being able to conncet to wirless internet.  I have already tourbleshooted and have determined it is not my wifi router.  All other iphones and devices in the home can connect to it like normal.  It will not conncet to any wifi.  I have reset the network settings and all other settings multiple times with out any change.  It is clear that the phone is damaged an no longer functioning properly.  I belivie there is something wrong with the wifi antena on the phone.  I've had this phone for only 5 months.  A damaged wifi atena is a hardware malfunction, and thus this is under the 1 year warranty that apple has agreed to correct? Is there anything else that can be wrong with the phone other than wifi antena or hardware issue? If not how do I get apple to acknowledge the warranty? I have called iphone warranty services and they want me to pay $69 so that somone can "troubleshoot" and determine that it is infact a problem with the hardware ofthe phone.  Basically apple wants me to pay them to tell me what I have already determined.  The warranty clearly states: "Warranty service for eligible repairs is available at no charge for twelve months from the date of purchase. After you return the iPhone that needs service, Apple will examine the iPhone to confirm that the failure is covered by Apple warranty." Paying $69 is not "no charge", apple is trying to charge me for a free warranty service they legally promised me.  Apple is ripping off its customers! Sorry for the rant.  If anyone can point out another problem with my iphone other than a hardware issue please let me know! Or if you have any advice on how to get my warranty service.  Thanks!

If you are beyond the 90-day free phone support period and do not have AppleCare on your iPhone, Apple phone support will tell you that you may have to pay a support fee if the problem is not covered by warranty. If they determine that the problem is indeed covered under warranty, you will not be charged. So no one is "ripping you off".
As to your problem, it most certainly can be a problem other than a fault in the antenna or WiFi circuitry, though it may be such a fault. Try Apple's suggestions here:

If none of those help, then you may have a defective iPhone. Call Apple Support or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple Store.
Regards.

    My iPhone Wifi is greyed out.
    In Uruguay in Cellular Center (+598 2 903 3333) that is where I buyed it told me it has no solution, it´s a problem of hardware accepted by Apple, that Apple change the phone in this cases, but that they can´t change it by another new one because their warrantee is 3 months and I bought in december, 2012. It cost me US$ 1,250 and I want a solution because I saw in the Apple web that iPhone warrantee is 1 year and I am still covered by it.
    I have the invoice dated December 24, 2012.
    Do you have any solution to my problem?
    It is hard to believe that a so expensive iPhone has a life of 6 months.
    Do I need to take my iPhone to anywhere they can solve its problem?
    Thank you so much.

  • IPhone wifi-network problem- Please Help!

    I have a problem with my iPhone4. It could only connect to the internet for a couple of minute then it dropped off. But it is still connect to the wifi though and in my Mac the wifi seem to be working fine. Any ideas?

    first start here
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/wifi/
    If that doesn't help then
    Restore as new, if wifi  works add your backup and proceed .If after backup issue returns
    Then you have a corrupt backup
    If when restored as new no wifi then you probably have hardware issue and should take it to an Apple Store genius bar

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

    Copied from the link provided.
    If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.
    Waiting for Apple to release the next update won't do any good.

  • You'll see the same complaints about the iPhone WiFi

    You'll see the same complaints about the iPhone WiFi as we're seeing against the iPad WiFi.

    There are tons of complaints about the WiFi interface on the iPhone, with errors and problems similar to what you're seeing on the iPad.
    Chris Shaker

    As a retired network device driver writer, I realize that the same device driver is probably running on both platforms. So more than likely, you'll see the same bugs on both platforms. Unless we're dealing with a hardware issue.
    I would guess that the iPhone/iPad losing it's WiFi password issue is a software bug.

    iPhone WiFi issue. I enter a password, click join, and get a message back that it is an incorrect password. I have several computers and other iPhones connected using the same password. Any ideas?

    Hey there Gordo456,
    It sounds like you are not able to join your Wi-Fi network with the correct password on 1 out of many devices. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Restart your iOS device.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    If that troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try these steps from further down the article:
    Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
    Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • IPhone wifi speed set at slower speed

    My iPhone4 has a speed checker onit that I would use for a quick check as to if there was any speed problems but in the last week or so the speed has been maxing out at 6 meg . Checking or pc and laptop shows not speed change normal speed is 13-14 meg but when I checked the home hub wifi connections my iPhone shows a speed of 6meg .as if the hub has set it to that speed . Any ideas why or how I can rectify this throttling of speed to the phone . Normally the phone records a speed maybe a meg or two slower than the pc . Also strange as well is when I check speediest.net on laptop it shows me as being near Newcastle when I live in Eastbourne . This did rectify for a few day but has know chqnged back again . Don't think this has anything to do with it but just a little strange .

    Cheers keith . After looking up the iPhone has wireless n but it's 2.5ghz not 5ghz . Would changing wifi settings to wireless g solve this problem ? Would the iPhone wifi still work on wireless g. I would assum all other devisees are wireless g on home network
    The home hub only uses the 2.5gHz band as it only has one radio module.
    Changing the hub to wireless "g" only, should improve things, if you have no wireless "n" devices.
    Give it a try.

  • IPhone wifi router conflict issue!

    Something has gone awry somewhere, help!
    My set up at home is thus.
    One Ethernet router to which two PCs and one MacBook are hard connected, plus one wifi router connected to the Ethernet router, to which my iPhone connects to.
    It has worked fine since I installed the wifi router.
    This weekend, me and my other half have been away. I think it may also be the first time (but I don't recall exactly) that my iPhone has been turned off fully since I put the wifi router.
    Anyway, we came back from our weekend away.
    Other half put all the computers (well, his and mine) on, and the routers both come on too. His internets and mine were working. I had a bath then turned the iPhone wifi on and this, for some reason suddenly knocked his PC offline with the message:
    "Windows-System error
    There is an IP address conflict with another system on the network"
    Now I'm not an expert but I assume this to mean two computers are attempting to sit on the same IP (I thought maybe the iPhone's wifi reset to router 192.168.1.1 - that's the IP it's telling me the connection is on.)
    However his PC is almost definitely on .0.2 or .0.1 not 1.1 so I don't know why there's a conflict.
    I just plugged the wifi router back in with the iPhone's connection off. His PC's internet works again. Very very odd. HELP!
    My PC doesn't seem to be affected (not tried the Macbook yet, I expect it to be fine). He tried a different port on the router for his PC ethernet cable, and that made no difference! Baffling!
    I'm not sure my iPhone is using the wifi when OH's PC is connected either, despite it saying that it is connected - I'm almost 100% definite that it's using the GPRS signal I get here, it's running very slowly.
    I have tried changing the IP Static address to another number, that doesn't seem to have helped.

    One common cause of address conflicts is when a system comes back online after an extended period in stand-by or hibernate mode, especially if the system was previously part of another network (e.g. an iphone brought home). A conflict will promptly occur if the address the system was previously configured with is the same as one that's already in use on the network. These conflicts tend to work themselves out. IP conflicts tend to eventually work themselves out in DHCP environments because systems issues repeated requests for valid addresses. But since the process can take a while and doesn't always work as planned, one way to hasten a fix is by manually entering IPCONFIG /RELEASE and IPCONFIG /RENEW from a command prompt (restarting a system accomplishes the same thing but takes a lot longer).
    If the conflict persists even after renewing the IP address, it may be because your system's been re-issued the same address it already had and another system on your network is the source of the problem. You can get a clue about the offender by checking the System Log within the Windows Event Viewer (which you can get to via Start|Control Panel| Administrative Tools|Event Viewer) and looking for a DHCP error entry. The entry will list a network address (actually a MAC address) which you can use to identify the conflicting device, either by running IPCONFIG / ALL on a Windows system or checking the label on the back or underside of a non-PC device. Performing a IPCONFIG release and renew or restarting the other device should set things right. If not, restarting your router should do the trick as it will reset the DHCP server and force all systems to request new IP addresses.
    1. Turn off everything on the network, ALL the machines and any other network device like network printers and NAS drives.
    2. Turn off the router and modem.
    3. Turn on the modem, wait for a steady data light.
    4. Turn on the router, wait two minutes.
    5. Turn on the network devices and computers, one at a time.
    Enjoy!

  • ITunes video jumps when using iPhone (wifi sync enabled)

    Hello,
    I have had many issues with wireless sync for my iPhone, but I am going to focus on one issue here:
    (When the wireless syncing is working) and I am watching a film, video podcast, TV show... anything video, on iTunes, if I open my iPhone (not physically connected to the PC) to look at something, maybe just to check the time, the video on iTunes stutters to a halt for a little while. Now, I know this has got to be to do with the iPhone checking in with iTunes wirelessly, almost a ping-negotiation-authentication thing, but is there any way to stop is messing up what I am watching? It is very annoying.
    I have Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, iTunes 10.5.3 64-bit, (iPhone iOS 5.0.1), a 1GB Graphics Card, a Core2Duo 2.4Ghz CPU, and 4GB RAM, so it is not like I am underspec'd, and it does seem to be specifically iTunes and wifi-sync related.
    Has anyone else experienced this, and has anyone else solved this?

    Hi there,
    I also have this exact same problem and have struggled to find any solution that works, and until now have not found anyone else with the same problem.
    I would be interested to hear if anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this.
    I have Windows 7, 32-bit, iTunes 10.5.3.3, iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1), 4GB RAM, Intel Quad 2.4Ghz, nVidia GeForce 8800 GT... so as with Buonacorsi, I don't think I'm underspec'd.
    I can confirm that if I switch off iPhone wifi syncing I don't have any problems. I keep switching off wifi syncing, but I find more and more that I want to use that function so it is quite annoying.
    Anyway, looking forward to hearing any thoughts...

  • IPhone WiFi Problem

    I cannot get my IPHONE to access the internet via WiFi from home. Hot Spots work fine. I have updated the firmware on my Linksys router and talked with tech support from Cox (my ISP) and Linksys in India. The WiFi on the IPHONE does connect to the router and can connect to a web server on my LAN but I cannot access the Internet.
    Apple tech support thinks it's the router, Linksys thinks it's the Cable Modem and Cox says it can't be them. I have disabled all encryption and all house computers connect as well as a WiFi HP IPAQ. I have even tried a Motorola router with no success. Anyone have any Ideas?

    Had the same problem....maybe this can help...
