*** iPhone won't hold it's 'net connection

My iPhone is great on 99% of wireless networks. meaning that it connects no problem and remembers/connects to networks that it's been to before. I AM having a problem on my home network. If I come home and connect to it manually, I'm fine, but if my phone goes to auto-lock and I wake it up again, it says "not connected". This only happens with my home network. If I manually enable it again I'm fine, but I don't want to have to do this every time I wake up my phone. Again, this is the only network where the phone does this. When I walk into work and sit at my desk, the phone is connected to the network already...simple.
Anyone know what could be the problem here?

Forgive the Copy paste. But posted this answer on another post similar to this. If it does not help. Please let me know.
Hello. Sorry to hear your having this issue. Posted below is some troubleshooting that may assist you with this issue today.
1. Settings- WiFi- make sure ask to join networks is turned on.
When this is on and it spots your network for the first time. It will put in on your list of approved networks. So if you walk out of your house and come back in, It should auto connect back to that network.
This setting is only turned off when you know your only going to be in certain areas, and already logged onto those networks at least once. So your not annoyed by all the open and secure networks in the area, and to conserve battery life.
2. Setting- General- Reset- Reset Network Settings, Confirm see if this fixes the issue. You will of course need to log onto your network at least once. Anytime after this as long as WiFi is on it should auto connect to that network assuming no other networks are in range that have a stronger signal and that you approved of before.
3. Settings- WiFi- if your network has a check mark. Tap on the blue circle. and Tap on Forget this network. Confirm. Reconnect to your network. And see if it will always auto connect when you leave range and come back into range. You may need to go a couple blocks down from your house for the signal to break and hit over to EDGE
4. Reboot the iPhone. Hold down the Home Button and the Sleep/Wake/Unlock Button till you see a Apple Logo. Then let go. And retest your WiFi
5. As a last and final step. Restore the iPhone. Please ensure you backup all Data before you do this. And ensure the data is on your Mac/PC so it can be Synced back to iPhone.
Best of Luck. Let us know how it goes.

  • IPhone won't hold charge

    I have had my iPhone for about six months, suddenly it won't hold a charge. I have tried charging it using my computer and also through the usb to the outlet. The charge symbol appears but my battery icon continues to be red?

    If the phone is hacked, this could interfere with the phone's ability to charge.
    If it's not hacked, you'll need to either call AppleCare or make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store.

  • My iphone won't turn on and wont connect to itunes

    I just got an iphone 4s from a close friend who was going to throw it away because they gave up on this problem and i dont want to. The iphone has never been exposed to water and I'm sure it's fine. It looks brand new, no scratches or anything of the sort.
    I have tried charging it. I have tried connecting it to itunes (itunes wont find it no matter what i do. I have even restarted my computer with the iphone hooked up to it and that did not work either.)
    I have tried to enter DFU mode. Nothing comes up. I am presuming that it is dead but I'm not sure. As i said, I just got it and it was from a friend. I have held down the home and start buttons for numerous amounts of time and nothing seems to be working. Is it actually a piece of trash? What should i do? I really want to fix this, as this may be my only chance to actually own an iphone.
    Apparently at one time it did work. I'm not sure when it was broken or how it was broken but I am unsure of what to do.

  • My iPhone won't hold a charge

    My iPhone wont hold a charge. I've turned off most notifications, location services.

    I had exact same symptoms on an iphone 4. Try this:
    double-press home button to bring up multitasking bar  
    Kill all running apps (tap and hold till you get the red minus)
    Reboot phone
    Worked for me. Probably I had a runaway app chewing up CPU constantly.

    What happened when you tried putting different battery in it? Did you ask to borrow one to test from the carrier?
    Or did you purchase a new battery and try it?
    Do you have the right battery for this series phone  and is it an OEM Blackberry battery?
    See the picture below to make sure you have the right battery (note label color)
    Let us know.

  • My iPhone won't accept wifi password to connect, My iPhone won't accept wifi password to connect, My iPhone won't accept wifi password to connect. Password is correct, My iPhone won't accept wifi password to connect. Password is correct

    What will make it work?

    I have been having this problem for the last week. I have tried signing on at my home wifi, with the correct password. The site shows up in systems, i type the password, and the menu for "enter the password for...." comes on screen. The phone also won't hook up at work, to a public wifi outlet, and for that matter the wifi site doesn't even come up. What other info can I give to get an answer?
    Thanks

  • IP Address Is Duplicate and iPhone Won't Connect

    Everything was working for last 2+ years, then my modem died yesterday. I replaced it, but can't get back to where I was. I ended up restoring network to factory settings and then doing connection.
    I have AT&T DSL service. When setting up the connection with my AirPort Extreme, have Ethernet with Bridge Mode. I receive message that "another device on the network is using your computers IP address." I didn't have this issue when setting up 2+ years ago. So, I manually changed the IP address, but this caused a message about DNS not being correct, which I ignored, because this at least gave me access to Internet, and I didn't have to "borrow" from one of my neighbors unprotected networks. I have implemented WPA2 security (which I had prior to this also).
    Issues I now have are:
    - iPhone won't connect, and it did before all this
    - HP Photosmart printer (which is wireless) also won't connect, as it did before
    I assume that all my issues are from not configuring correctly, and that it revolves around the IP address conflict.
    Any assistance?

    You need to do a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme (AEBS) to clear out all the old settings and IP conflicts.
    Pull the power plug on the AEBS
    Hold in the reset button and while you continue to hold it in, plug the power back in to the AEBS
    Release the reset button after 10 seconds.
    Open AirPort UTility and set it up again to Create a wireless network.
    It's easiest to click Continue and follow the guided setup.
    Ignore the Double NAT message when/if it appears.
    I know this works. I have the exact same equipment on my desk now.

  • HT4061 Hi have iphone 4 has been disabled says to connect to itunes when I do that it says enter passcode on phone but it won't let me any ideas

    Hi have iphone 4 has been disabled says to connect to itunes when I do that it says enter passcode on phone but phone won't let me do that

    Hey drcajkm,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides some solutions if you are having issues with passcode lock:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I've not upgraded to IOS 6 on my ipad, and my Verizon hotspot on my Iphone won't connect to my Ipad

    My Verizon hotspot on my Iphone won't connect to my Ipad and hasn't for a few weeks..
    Have tried re-booting the system, holding down keys etc.
    I have no idea what to do now as I am 100% technically challenged.
    Thank you for any very simple instructions on how to proceed

    It's in recovery mode and can't be used until you connect to a computer and restore it through iTunes.

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

  • Iphone won't automatically re-connect to wi-fi; have to re-enter password each time

    I just "upgraded" my wi-fi router to a Netgear WNDR3400.  Everything seems to be set up fine, and I'm able to connect with our various iphones, ipads, and AppleTV.  But our iphones won't automatically re-connect to the network after the connection is lost, and we have to re-enter the password when we re-connect.
    Kind of stumped here.
    Jim

    These didn't work, but oddly enough what worked was choosing "other" network, typing the name of my network in (even though it already showed up in the list of networks), indicating WEP encryption, and typing the password in. 
    Disconnected a few times and was able to automatically connect.
    Kind of odd if you ask me.

  • My iphone won't switch on. I've tried holding the power and home button more than 30 seconds up to a few minutes but it didn't switch on and went straight to recovery mode. It died of a low battery and i already fully charged it i checked with my itunes.

    i really need help here. I have only used my iphone for a month. my iphone won't switch on. it died of a low battery and i've already fully charged it and usually before it even fully charged, it will turn back on right but in my case nothing happened. i've tried holding the power and home button for 30 seconds and up to 2-3 minutes but no logo appear. it went straight to recovery mode. there's nothing wrong with my cable, i checked with itunes and  this happened once a week ago but it did switch back on after i tried a few times but now it just won't switch on. i also have problems with my screen as there's some noises to the screen (i hope you get me) and when i turned the camera on, it was as if the whole screen is shaking. i'm currently studying in the middle east and there's no apple store here so i cannot use my warranty. i will only be back home in summer. please help me what should i do to at least switch my iphone on first.

    I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
    My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
    After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think.
