Iphone Wifi Bug

Hey everyone out there having wifi problem's with the new software, I have found something that works for me to fix the bug. I don't know why this work's no idea into the actual software portion of it but I'm on the original 2g Iphone running 3.1.3. I have been having serious trouble with my wifi for a few week's now and have restored my phone many times usually resulting in a temporary fix, I tried every fix on the web including all the apple support and still no luck. (+The apple support I find to be very pathetic!!! it's defiantly not a Hardware problem+) Anyway randomly I stumbled onto this fix so try it out hopefully it work's for you.
What to do:
1. Be within range of your wifi service and have everything set up for it. (+or if you can't see the network just be in range+)
2. Call a friend or just anyone just have an active call on your iphone. (+I think using the EDGE or 3G network help's somehow+)
3. Then hit home while still on the phone and try and use wifi.
Presto! For me it worked flawlessly and for a good while after I got off the phone also.
Hope this help's someone!

  • IPhone wifi bug and battery drain in iOS 8.1

    I have an iPhone 5s 32GB and updated it to iOS 8.1
    the wifi bug is still there and my battery drains within 4 hours of normal use(no gaming)
    the option to chose 2G/3G isnt there too
    any help ?
    Please fix these bugs soon

    Power cycle the battery, let it fully drain to where your phone shuts off and then fully charge it without using it.
    As for mail if you have it set to push try using manually fetch - the server will only check for emails when you open the mail app, instead of pushing the mail to your phone when you receive one.

  • Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Use on WiFi Bug

    If you have been seeing higher cellular data usage while you are on WiFi, good news, Verizon has fixed this bug.  All you need to do is update your Carrier Settings to 13.1 and the bug is fixed.
    For directions on how to update your Carrier Settings, see:
    Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Data Use on WiFi Bug - EVDOinfo.com
    Be interesting to see if this fixes the issues for all those having the problem

    I have the exact same problem!
    I'm using the iPhone 5 now under Carrier M1 Singapore 13.0 and I have noted that over a period of 2 weeks, my cellular data usage has been about 2.7GB on an average. Since I know my bill has been capped at 3GB, I have since switched off my cellular data.
    However, when I switched it on for a few days after using it for awhile, my cellular usage jumped by 1.2GB in just 1 day! And I used it as I would on an average day (like during an average day in the 2 weeks)!
    I understand that there have been reports of a bug that have caused this problem in the US.

    http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/10/iphone-5-cellular-data-usage-over-wifi-bug-on -other-carriers.html
    But I'm hoping that there's a solution for those living in Singapore? Do I seek the help from my carrier as well? But if it's a problem with the phone, then my carrier definitely would not help, right?

  • 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.

    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.

  • Is somebody working on this wifi bug?

    Is someone working on this wifi bug? Sucking the battery down as it bounces from 3G to wifi every 10 seconds or so. Can you down grade back to the old OS?

    Reset Network Settings in Setting App. If still problem, Restore iPhone with current iTunes on computer. If still problem there is no fix.

    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!

    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.

  • HT5569 iPhone WiFi issue. I enter a password, click join, and get a message back that it is the incorrect password. I have several computers and two other iPhones connected using the same password. Any clues?

    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.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • 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.
