Lost wifi after ios4 update

Can anyone at Apple explain what to do if wifi option is totally unavailable on iphone 3g after ios4 upgrade? Is it a hardware or software issue?

I have the same issue. I updated from 3.1.3 to 4 lost voicemail had to reset that I've tried every option available to get wifi to connect and blutooth is doing the same thing as wifi it shows it is searching but it finds nothing. I tried to reset network it did not work. HELP!

Ipad lost wifi after ios7 update but works when close to signal.

Hi
Ive read lot of posts that have the same issue as mine except for one difference. My ipad will reconnect if I am very close to the router or my range extender.
I have had three years of faultless use from my ipad and it lost wifi and bluetooth connectivity immediately after updating to ios7.0.4.
Ive tried all the usual remedies as in updating the router firmware, resetting the ipad, switching wifi on and off etc. All to no avail.
Unfortunately it still wont find a wifi signal where all my other apple and samsung gear will find multiple signals easily.
I found out that if im within 20cm of my range extender or within 2-3 metres of my asus router i get about 2 bars of signal and it works accordingly. If I move beyond that range my signal drops out.
Ive ordered a new Wifi antenna but wanted to know if anyone else has got some ideas prior to me fitting it.
Thanks for any help

To Diavonex,
Thanks for your reply,
I took the ipad for a drive to see if it could find a signal.
My Samsung S4 was continuously picking up new Wifi signals but my Ipad didnt find a single one.
So I went into my local computer shop and got within two metres of their wifi antenna and got a 2-3 bar signal. I literally took one big step away from it and I lost the signal and it wouildnt return until I approached the aerial agian.
The computer tech just laughed and said thats Apple for you.
What I cant work out is that it had been perfect in all conditons for years until the ios7 update.
Thanks

Problems with wifi after iOS4 update

Hi guys well I have an iPhone 3Gs currently running 4.1 but came with 3.1.3. The wifi at home works fine and that is WEP secured the only problem is the schools network. In order to connect through wifi you need to use Manual Proxy Settings with the following settings
Server: 10.1.0.12
Port: 8080
Username: ELTHAM\<username>
Password: <password>
Everything worked fine on 3.1.3 and it ALWAYS connected. Now the settings say it's connected but there is no wifi simbol only 3G, and if I turn data off while connected to wifi safari says its not connected. I have tried restoreing, setting up as new iPhone, reset network settings but no luck whatsoever.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

Yes, an all of a sudden it started working while sitting for around 30 minutes, shouldn't take that long

Lost wifi after update

If I lose wifi after an update on an iphone 3gs will apple warranty it even though it was out of warranty. It works fine, but now has no wifi. In essance I updated the software as advised by Apple, and now the software has caused a fail.

By "No Wifi" I mean.. the option to select or turn it on is grayed out.
I have seen this appears to be a common issue, and appears to relate to the IO6 Update, but there appears to be no solution.
I have tried resetting and restoring a few times, but no joy.
It was working fine prior to the update, and now appears to be gone.
I would have assumed this would be an "Out Of Warranty"... Warranty from Apple as it appears to be caiused by their software.

There was add one and i lost it after the update and i don't remember it's name

there was add one and i lost it after the update and i don't remember it's name
it was add-on to show me the source of any click able content
like pics on twitter or Facebook
also the videos on youtube
and it showed a little icons with small pic shape on it with different colors
and also sometimes with a small lock shape on it
now i need to know what this add -on name or how to get it back

Add-ons are not auto-deleted as far as I know...
It's possible that the extension or userscript simply doesn't work correctly in Firefox 22 due to a change in Firefox. If you look at the add-on pages, often the reviews will mention whether the add-on is broken in a new release.

HT201210 no b/t or wifi after latest update on 4s?

I have a Iphone 5 and after update everything OK.
My wife has a 4s and after same update her bluettoth and wifi have ceased to function.
B/T searches endlessly (spinning star) but wifi is "greyed" out and doesn't respond to even turn wifi on.
Have tried restore after backing everything up but still no go.
Any suggestions apart from dropping it in to Apple as this is 600k's out of my way.
Thanks

Why won't my ipad connect to the wifi after I updated it to ios 7.1.2

Never have I ever been so upset at an electronic device
If I had know my iPad would cause such distress after this update I wouldn't have attempted it.
Because of this bloody update a plethora of problems have appeared and I have no clue how to fix it.
Firstly at around 4 this morning the wifi connection was spotty so I had to keep on reconnecting, but that was fixed by getting closer to the router. I thought "problem solved no biggie right?" WRONG! I left my house and came back expecting the wifi to connect again, but that was a fail.
SOOOOO I figured I needed to forget the network and log back in. That didnt work. I should not have done that. I should not have done that.
I got the *Unable to join the network. Dismiss* crap over and over and over again!
So now I figured I'd look up some help! Why not give it a go! So i got that whole (general- reset- reset network) with or without turning on airplane mode bs. Didnt work. Trust me I tried both.Twice.
Since that didnt work I figured a reboot would. No. I turned my iPad off so many times I probably gave the poor thing whiplash
Now this has been going on all day and I finally gave in an hour ago and decided if I restore it to the ios 7.1.1 it'll work again.
Well it must be my freakin birthday cause guess what? You have to turn off your icloud's "find my ipad"to restore and to do that you need a........ wait for it................. internet connection!!!! Brilliant. Just. Brilliant. -_-
Do you FEEL my struggle yet????
all my problems...... they all lead to that dang wifi connection. Fml.
Any of you magical smarty pants have any help for this poor unfortunate soul.
it would be much appreciated.

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.

Anyone with the same issue or an idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance, greetings from Stuttgart (Germany),

Slow and unresponsive after iOS4 update

While the new features are nice, the slow down is not.
My 3G now seems slow and unresponsive in all Apps and generally.
Not very happy with that to be honest, don't see why it should be slower.

I have had the same problem with my iPhone using the iOS4 update. I reset my iPhone and it was still slow. I also fully turned it off and waited a whole day and turned it on (resulted in a minor improvement to speed). I can't use multi tasking etc because I don't have the 3GS phone. I also had an issue where I couldn't open up iTunes!! I pressed the icon, and the phone froze in the iTunes screen without displaying any albums etc..... then it returned to the home screen. I repeated the process 3 times with the same result. It did eventually open up on the 4th time and played a song. I am not very impressed with the performance of my iPhone after the software update and will give it another week or so to see if Apple release any "fixes" after that I'm going to revert back to the old software.

HT201272 Lost apps after software update

Has anyone lost apps when they downloaded the new software? I had a magazine subscription which I now don't have since updating my iPad.

They should be in the iTunes library on your computer. Connect the device and sync what you would like to the device.
The only time I've heard of apps not re-appearing on a device after an update is when a user interrupts the upgrade process. Have you tried a restore of the device using the backup created just prior to the update?

Lost network after kernel update

Hi
I have lost my network after kernel updating the kernel [2.6.35.7]
I downgraded to kernel 2.6.35.6

Hi,
I'm just reporting that I had this issue today too. I rebooted my computer from Win7 to Arch64 and I was left without network. Also it doesn't work in windows after rebooting back. I thought that It is something with connection so I tried to recoonect cable and also tryied to swap it in switch/adsl gateway. It started working after several switches (not on 1st!) It looks like interface is repeating on and off. So I rebooted to Arch and it stops working again...
I fixed it by reinstalling kernel26 package. But it is strange because it works yesterday, last thing what I did with kernel and modules was update of gc nvidia drivers... I don't know when I updated kernel last time
I'm using same network driver as Karol - r8169
lsmod | less
mii 3826 1 r8169
I'm using this card as well. I upgraded yesterday and I can't get wireless with WICD. Windows and normal network daemon work fine. I use kernel26. What other info can I provide? If a bug report needs to be filed, would it be WICD, kernel26 or other?
Also, I forgot, but I'm not using normal Wicd, I'm using wicd-nogtk from AUR. Krychle, are you using this also?
Edit: I think this has to do with the python update. I updated wicd-nogtk and its good now. I am online.
