Temporary fix for me - Reset Network Settings

Went to the genius bar with my 3G issue yesterday. Reception was impeccable at the store. Guy suggested I reset network settings when it acts up. That has worked for me today BUT I cannot imagine having to do that ALL OF THE TIME.
It annoys me that there is no real discussion about this issue from Apple or AT&T. I'll hang tight until the next software/firmware update but I'm going to harass AT&T for a credit. IT NEVER WORKS.
And don't tell me I'm a baby for complaining about it. The biggest advantage (and most publicized reason) for upgrading DOESN'T WORK.

Connecting to data (especially 3g) has been a problem for me since installing 2.02. I'm anxious awaiting 2.03 (or 2.1, whichever comes first
I had been shutting off the phone to trigger it to connect to the network. Then, I read a tip shared here about turning airplane mode on/off. That's worked pretty well for me as a temporary workaround.
Agree with you, though. It can get pretty frustrating.

3G Temp Fix for ATT - Reset Network Settings

Hey all, I've been just as frustrated with you about this 3.0 and 3.1 upgrade mess. My phone has actually been on the fritz since 3.0.1, very laggy and sporadic connection, and 3.1 has crippled my phone further. Kinda weird to have the one device you know will always work (Apple product) become less reliable than the most annoying phone I've ever owned (Palm, WinMo OS).
Anyway, I was just screwing around at work, and since I don't have iTunes on my corporate workstation, I figured I was going to either make my phone work or toss it out the 22nd story window onto Fountain Square. I figured this quick fix out, which admittedly, may not work for everyone:
Simply go reset your Network Settings. It's an option in the Settings>General>Reset menu.
It's either because the Network Settings sucked, or because I rebooted my phone in the process, but I've had a few hours of pretty good operation, which hasn't happened since I put 3.1 on it, regardless of how many soft or hard resets I've tried.
Good Luck!

My wifi wasn't working for more than 10 minutes at a time after updating to IOS8 and resetting network settings. I turned off google drive, turned off Bluetooth, reset network settings and rebooted my iPad4. So far so good.

I have an ipad4. Wifi keeps cutting out after the upgrade even after I forget the network and resign on or reset all network settings. I deleted iCloud drive from my iPad, turned off Bluetooth, reset network settings, and rebooted my iPad. Since I upgraded to IOS8 this is the longest wifi has consistently been working for me. Which is approximately an hour now. Anyone else find that this worked or have figured out if this or anything out there is a permanent fix?

Hi CollinGCC78,
It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you are still having issues, you may want to double-check the steps outlined in the following article, in order if possible (apologies for replicating any steps you have already taken):

Thanks so much for more direction.
I realized that I bought this iPod T4 about a year ago, so decided to check the date and it is still under the 1 year ltd. warranty until 21 Dec. I contacted Apple via Chat and was informed that the problem may lie in the version of iTunes I was running 10.7. Today Apple released v. 11 of iTunes which I was instructed to download. It's TOTALLY different from iTunes 10.7 - drastically different in fact.
The Apple Chat Rep set up a phone call appointment forl 8:00 pm ET tonight where another Rep will call me to make sure the restore was accomplished OK. With v. 11 of iTunes I can't even find the restore option!!! The phone Rep will have to help me navigate v. 11 of iTunes. It doesn't seem intuitive at all. Maybe it's just me?!?!
Thank you for sending this new link for firmware. It's not clear to me right now whether I'll need it or not. The phone Rep will probably somehow be able to resolve the problem. If not, they'll probably send me to the nearest Apple store if the problem is hardware, as it would be covered under the warranty. I will give another update as to what transpires as a result of the phone call with the Apple Rep.
Again, thank you so much for helping me.

No sound at all for incoming calls, txts, games i tried everything reset, restore , delete content and reset , reset network settings. Alarm sounds work but notification sounds don't work please and mute button is in ring mode

No sound at all for incoming calls, txts, games. I have checked the side mute switch. Volume is all way up. All notifications are on. I can hear tones when I go to change them. I can hear my music. I can hear talking on videos I have taken. I have tried everything I know to do(reset,restore,reset network settings,reset content and other settings and mute button is not ON)Please help!

This is exactly the same problem I am having. I dropped the phone one time I think that was the reason. Now I cant seem to find any solution to fix it and it will cost me $149 to buy a new phone? There has to be a way to fix this problem.
When I put it in speaker phone I can hear but not voices through the phone.

doesn't like one at Starbucks or McDonald's...
I can not activate or deactivate the Wi-fi button ... I don't know how I can explain... the wi-fi is always OFF.
I've reset the network settings and restored by itunes... but I'm still without wi-fi ...

After connecting to Bluetooth keyboard, iPad 2 will not connect to Internet (wifi) at all. Wifi is ok, have tried turning off bltooth, wifi on iPad. It sees the network but won't connect. Help? Have also reset network settings etc

My iPad wifi was working great until I I connected it by Bluetooth to a keyboard (zagg). It was the first time I'd used Bluetooth
Immediately Internet was dropped on my ipad. My iPhone was and is still connected no prob. And I cannot get the iPad wifi to work again....at all!!!
This is major as I am away from my desktop for three months. Any fix cannot involve being at my desktop with iTunes which is 10,000 km away
So far This is what I've tried based on other discussions-
-turned Bluetooth off and unpaired to keyboard which was also turned off
- turned iPad wifi off and on (several times)
- forgot the network I useArrive Jul 19 depart Aug 25th. Originally it was Sept 9.
-- reset network settings
What happens is that the iPad sees the network and I enter my password. But, instead of getting "check mark" indicating a successful connections it keeps "circling". Sometimes the airport bars will show, but disappear or flicker. It never connects with a check noted in settings. Any attempts to use internet confirm there is no connection
My network is not a cafe or public network. It is one I regularly use here at my family's home where I am visiting
Any ideas!

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

"Network service error" game apps that require internet connection working fine, internet signal strong. Safari working, but YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and App Store won't work?! Tried resetting network settings but problem persists?

Safari working fine, as are game apps that require internet connection.
I can not get AppStore, YouTube app, Facebook app or twitter app to load anything as 'network service error" comes up.
I have the latest update 7.2 and have tried resetting network settings, anyone else have this problem?! How do I fix it?

I did try that one. But for some reason it still does not help. The strange thing stays that I can acces Twitter and other Apps. But still nos Safari/App Store. Only when I am on Wi-Fi.

Call your phone carrier - that's a problem for them to resolve.

Why do I have to keep Resetting Network Settings

Hi All,
Hopefully someone can help. Every time I need to access emails when I'm out this iPhone fails me. Today, I tried to access an email from a client which consisted of 2 words "That's fine". The wheel thing spun round, and round, and round, and round.... 6 minutes later it displayed "this has not been downloaded from the server".
I tried in vain to re-load but nothing. The only thing that seems to work is to "reset network settings".
This then means that my wifi settings at home now need re-inputting, as do the wi-fi settings at 3 of my other workplaces.
If I could, I would swap this for a Samsung or something. It's a constant source of frustration and embarrassment ( when I'm with clients)
I've had the **** thing replaced at the Apple store and I have phoned my mobile supplier t-mobile/EE ( don't get me started on them...) about 20 times and no-one can make this problem go away. I hate this iPhone.
Can anyone here help me?
Many thanks
Granger

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Have you tried rebooting your wireless router by removing power from it for about 30 seconds, then powering it back up?
