My Iphone Has a Restart Problem Again and Again wot To do?

MY Iphone Has a restart problem again and again wot to do please tell me

Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you go through ALL of those steps and you still have issues, you need to get your phone checked out by Apple.

Hi, recently my Iphone 4S having wifi problem. I have try to restore it and accidentally get everything clear off. I have also notice that my phone is not USB recognized by my laptop before my wifi gone. Is there any ways to restore my contact?

Hi,
My Iphone 4S having wifi problem. I also noticed that the USB is not longer recongnized by my laptop anymore.
I tried to upgrade my IOS6 into 7 hopefully it work...
Somehow, all data (contacts, sms, photo and etc) were gone after I did that.
Since my USB and wifi is not function, is there anyway to retrieve my lost contacts?
For Icloud, is the data retrieve via the phone sim? Phone mac ID? Apple ID? or everything?

Did you backup your iPhone 4S before to upgrade? If you did, you may recover your contacts from it.
iOS: How to back up and restore your content.

Or you should use an iPhone recovery software to get your lost contacts back. Please follow the blog's tips to have a try.
For iCloud, it does not retrieve the phone sim data. It can only restore your backup data. And, if you want to find your Apple ID, you should read this:

Very disappointed in 4G since 7.1 upgrade. Why should I upgrade when my contract is up. Looks like 5G has same WIFI problems.

Very disappointed in 4G iphone since 7.1 upgrade. Why should I buy 5g or later iphone when it appears they have the same WIFI problems when upgraded?

try resetting. settings, general, reset. I would try reset network settings first. if not successful then try reset all settings.
I'm using a IPhone 5 and like it very much since Sprint has been updating their network. The upgrade made a big difference even in the battery life.
good luck

Iphone 3G and wifi problems. I've been reading the string about this from last year. I have an iphone 3G with the latest ios 4.2.1 software. Every time I connect to my home wifi - Belkin N - it comes up after a few minutes with "Incorrect Password".

I re-enter the password correctly but it keeps happening. Any suggestions?

I have a belkin n surf as well and i have got this and other problems. my iphone 3g and 4 often keep on loosing connectivity. especially if the bluetooth is one (either connected or not). it often fails to find my wifi network after waking up from sleep.
the problem i think is most certainly with belkin n. its one of the worst routers out there. unfortunately i didn't read the reviews before buying it. i have other problems with it to like connecting it to a dc++ hub. the setting up for port forwarding is a pain and it tends to connect to the internet on its own even though there are no settings to disable automatic connection.
i was later told by many people online and also read it in the reviews that its one of the very bad router out there along with other belkin routers. belkin has even arranged a replacement for me as its under warranty but i'm avoidng travelling to the other end of the city cause i know all models have the same problem. the worst of them all is a mere 3mbps transfer speed form one computer to another over wifi file sharing even if they both are connected via 802.11n and are placed withing full signal coverage range, with no firewall or security on either on the machines or router. tried it over several macbooks and windows pcs.
i'm getting lynksys for good.

TS4062 Iphone 5 joining WiFi problem

My iPhone 5 has recently stopped joining with any wifi accounts other than the one in the Apple Shop. Despite numerous hard and factory resets and several episodes of setting it up as a new device it still comes up with the following error message 'Unable to join the network "...............".' It has always had difficulties picking up wifi signals when others users have had no problems. I have already discounted poor signals and incorrect passwords through trial and error but am unable to resolve this issue. Help!!!!!!!

Iphone 3g having wifi problems - app problem?

Hi,
I just got given a iphone 3g as a hand me down, and I think im having problems with the wifi, but cant find anything sensible as fix (one video suggested put it in the oven)
when using safari, or internet apps (namely, facebook, kik, igotchat) and probably any other apps that need an internet connection, I get randomly "disconnected" for lack of a better word. on safari it says "no network is available, please connect to wifi" and kik says the same thing. normally with safari i can just refresh the page a couple of times, and it will work, but when using the instant messenger apps, it just doesnt send or receive my messages, for hours,
the thing is, when all this is going on, i dont actully lose wifi, the signal symbol is there the whole time, I go into settings and my routers name is there, and also igotchat's wifi status always says its good.
So far ive tried changing my wireless channel on the router, and also trying to use it on a diferent internet connection, but the problem still persists (my home network is fine on all other devices)
i understand that im using "legacy" apps, and therefore not on the latest version, but im on the latest that ios 4.2.1 will allow, and im sure app developers/apple wouldnt just have people unable to use their old devices
so what im asking is there any fixes i can try, either with the phone, the router, or the apps, as currently its fairly unusable as an internet device
im pretty new to apple products (except my old ipod video) but im decent with technology so il try anything if it might help even slightly

Hello monolith,
So, you are still having the disconnection after changing the protocol to G only. Another tip some folks have used to help clear this up, is to set up a Static address for your phone. This is something I do at work, so I took the practice home.
Not all routers, will let you reserve addresses for devices, but some do. If your router is the DHCP for your network, look in the network settings for resevations.
If you can add a reservation, then add the one your phone is already using to see if this elimates the problem, at least on your network.
If you know how to set up a reservation, you can skip this part.
First write down the network settings that are on your phone under the blue > dot. When you change from DHCP to Static, iOS will clear the settings, so write them down.
Tap on Static and fill in the information you just wrote down for the static address settings.
Now put the phone in airplane mode or turn off WiFi on your phone.
Assuming you can add a reservation to your router, you will need to know you phone's MAC address (Settings>About WiFi address) so you can find it in the address pool.
Your phone's address in the pool should be the same as what you wrote down already and revoke the address from the pool.
Now you can make the new reservation and type in the IP address, the MAC address and a description of your phone, typically.
Save the settings and the router will probably restart the network, so make sure anything already on the network is ready to go offline for a minute or so.
Take your phone off airplane mode and it should join the network. If it doesn't, confirm the addresses are the same and make sure the MAC address is correct.
If your router can't take a reservation, then the only other suggestion I can make is to aquire an Apple router. Check around ebay to see if you can't get an old AirPort Extreme Base Station (the ones that look like a space ship) and attach it to your nettwork as a subnet. I just spotted some on ebay for under $10. Also if your network is secure, just make sure the subnet is also secure.
If you're unfamilar with Apple routers, you set them up using software from Apple, so if you have a Windows PC you will need to download the AirPort Utility software http://support.apple.com/kb/DL524 and install it on your PC.
Beyond that I'm afraid I can't help, sorry.
Best of luck,
UG

IPhone has no wifi option, only WLAN

Under Setting in my iphone 4 (in China), I have no wifi option, only WLAN. And the WLAN is not picking up any of the wifi networks that my husbands wifi picks up fine. His phone has an option for wifi instead of WLAN. Software update says I'm up to date, have tried restarting it a number of times. What should I do?

Did you setup the iPhone or a store/carrier, etc?
Do you have very much material or content added to the iPhone?
If you have not added much if anything, and are comfortable resetting up the iPhone, an option is to go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings so the iPhone is back to factory, pristine condition and then set it all up again. Unless there is something strange with this iPhone or the iOS on it, that should revert to the Apple iOS build.
But first, have you tried going to that sequence and selecting Reset Network Settings instead of the full erase?

My replacement iPhone has NO WIFI

My old iPhone's touchscreen randomly died (stopped responding to touch in the bottom 1/3rd of the screen) and was dutifully replaced by Apple, for which I am grateful.
They replaced the phone with a new one and it works OK except for the fact that I have absolutely no WiFi. I was able to use my old phone at the office and at home, and I would always get WiFi pop up messages whenever a new network came in range.
Now I have no indication that the phone even supports WiFi. Never detects any network, and if I go to the settings page, the WiFi setting is grayed out saying "No Wi-Fi".
Any suggestions as to what the problem may be? I want to avoid brining the phone back into the store again.
FYI: As soon as I got the phone I ran the 1.01 upgrade and did a full restore from the backup of my old phone.

Ok. So I did a restore from a computer at work, and after that Wi-Fi was working. When I brought it to my home laptop, I couldn't sync - which was expected, different iTunes instances, etc.
So I restored again using my home computer, which is always a pain as I have zero ATT reception at home. So I walk outside to activate after the restore. After a long walk to the one area with AT&T coverage in my small home town of Manhattan, NY I huddle around with the 75 other iPhone owners vying for reception in the known-good-reception radius of 12ft... Eventually, iPhone is activated. Immediately, iPhone hangs. I reset by holding down both buttons.
iPhone comes back on an NO WIFI.

Iphone 6 wifi problems

II have a week old iPhone 6 and have had nothing but wifi problems since I got it.
FIrst off off I got my 6 from Best Buy one week ago, and they could not transfer my icloud items and settings to my new phone. So I was sent home to do this myself. After a few hours I finally got my iCloud back up to go onto my new iPhone.
Major wifi problems. I'm about ready to take it back, since I do have 14'days to return this nightmare.
I Have a iPhone 5 , a iPod 5, ipad 2, and my husband has a iPhone 5S. None have problems with wifi except my brand new iphone 6.
I opened my wifi settings and can see it going on and off at a drop of a hat.
Dont tell me I have to update my router because I already tried this.
Another Major Issue is that annoying pop up
"Cellular Data is turned off for your photos"
you can turn on cellular data for this app in settings
I know this appears because I lose my wifi at that moment while in the middle of something. But it as well says this for
Settings, Mail ......
IF something's not fixed soon I'm dropping Apple products. I Love Apple But right
now I'm so displeased!

Dsheedy1,
Here are the steps that I would use to troubleshoot wifi problems:
1.) Reset the wifi router at home
2.) Make sure your wifi router is not using a generic name that might be doubling with your neighbor's wifi router.
3.) Instead of naming a router NETGEAR68, name it "Dsheedy1_wifi" or some other name that is not likely to be used by a neighbor's wifi router.
4.) What is the exact nature of wifi problems?
      a.) not seeing the wifi router's name in the list of routers?
      b.) not being able to sign in or get authenticated?
      c.) getting connected to router but getting dropped at random after a while?
      d.) loosing connection if farther away from router?
Steps 1-3 deals with 4a, identifying your router from other routers in your neighborhood.
If it's 4b (authentication), temporarily set your router's encryption to nothing, see if you can get connected w/o in open access mode. Then switch back to security mode.
If it's 4c or 4d, it could be that your the iphone6's wifi chip and antenna is more sensitive. To rule out interference to the antenna, do not use a phone case that has a metallic back plate which coveres up the top most and bottom most portions of the 6.
Finally, compare wifi connectivity with routers in other locations. If it can get connected to wifi in the Apple Store, or shopping mall, or restaurants, but not for your home wifi router, then it may be a matter of the wifi on the 6 not working well with your home wifi router.
I do not have a 6 yet (still on contract for my 5). After I got my 5 in late 2012, my home wifi was working ok. I did not get the wifi sensing or login problems that had happened to many posters on this forum. However, when I started to use VoIP apps like Skype to make phone calls my wifi started to falter. Since replacing a wifi router is a cheaper solution for me, I bought a new router that was on sale for $80 and had no more wifi stability problems.
My suggestion to you at this point would be to pick up an Apple wifi router. Now if your 6 can't connect to Apple's own router there would be no doubt as to what is problem (the 6). You may have gotten one with quality problem with its wifi circuitry. If I remember correctly Apple has a 30 day return policy on products such as a wifi router. So if it doesn't work out for you, it can be returned.
Best of luck to you!

Ios5 wifi problems please help

I have a ipod 3rd generation and i update into ios5 and the wifi conection start to fail and safari is very slow please help thanks

I had an iPhone that did the same - it would connect to my wi-fi network and the disconnect. After restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone with no change, I made an appointment at an Apple store where it was confirmed the iPhone has a hardware problem.
If you have tried everything included with the link provided including restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem as I've provided 3 times now.
