TS1398 My iphone 4 doesn't work with public wifi

My iPhone 4 doesn't work with any of the apps apart from weather app when I use public wifi, such as iCloud. The sign still shows that I am connected with wifi hotspot even when the signal is the strongest.
I have tried resting my iPhone 4. But doesn't work. But other wifi such as in my home or at uni which require login work well with the device. I am not sure what seems to be the problem.

Apple doesnt like generic network names link Linksys, or Belkin - when the network is a generic name there is no way to identify your "linksys" vs my "linksys" so it has trouble connecting and remembering these networks.
You need to connect to a unique network name as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4199

IPhone doesn't work with Sony Marine Receiver CDX-H910UI

My iPhone doesn't seem to be working with my Sony Marine Receiver CDX-H910UI.
Whenever i plug my phone into my Marine Receiver it only says 'reading' for a really long time and does not load or allow me to play songs.
I have only noticed this problem since the iOS4.0.1 upgrade.
Is there anyway i can fix this problem or notify apple about this problem so that they could fix it in a software upgrade?
I would appreciate all of the help i could get.

IPhone doesn't work with Universal Dock remote?

Hello,
I received an Apple Universal Dock with remote for Christmas, and I'm pretty sure I remember it and the remote working just fine with my iPhone when I first set it up. Today, I tried using it again, and found that I can't use the Universal Dock's remote for anything other than controlling the volume, and even though I can raise or lower the volume with the remote, the volume change is not reflected on my iPhone's screen - the iPhone's ipod volume indicator doesn't move.
The Universal Dock and remote work just fine with my wife's second generation nano, and the iPhone works without any problems when docked into a Logitech mm50 speaker system - the mm50's remote is able to jump forward and backwards through songs, pause, play, etc. The problem seems limited to the combination of my iPhone and the Universal Dock and remote.
Is this normal? According to the Universal Dock's package and documentation, it is compatible with the iPhone and doesn't mention anything about the remote having limited capabilities when used with the iPhone.
If this isn't normal, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
thanks in advance and best regards,
tom

i just bought this dock as a car dock. I have it hooked up to power 12v and output to 1/8 into head unit. Now, I have to be in iTunes music to get it to work and it only allows volume, playing of files in a playlist and to next song. Are any of you guys having issues with VERY limited use of the remote and lack of really a benefit from using a remote because you have to touch it anyways to change through songs or video??? Are you guys wondering why you even bought it if the remote is not supported as a functional addition?

IPhone doesn't work with Apple ear buds . . .why?

I'm trying to use the ear buds that came with my 4S to listen to a radio program, but unless I keep holding the phone jack into the slot it keeps disconnecting and the program stops. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to twist it in or something? I've checked the case and it's not interfering with the jack.

Easy to fix it
1.Get a Cotton Bud
2.Insert it in to the Earpiece Input
3.Rub it inside the input(Be sure Nt to left any Cotton inside)
4.Pull Cotton Bud Out
5.Try to put the earPod In to the input
6.Make sure it is tiedly input Here(Here you have Earpod)
7.if this doesn't Work you might have a broken Earpod
Thank Me Later

Iphone doesn't work with gloves on

I don't know if my phone is the only one but its getting cold and snowy here in chicago and when i try to answer the iphone by moving the slider with my glove on nothing happens. I have to take off my glove to turn it on. At first I thought oh thats because its a touch screen and thats how they all are but a second later with my glove back on I used my gps tom tom system to change an address.......

The iPhone uses a capacitive touch screen, instead of a pressure sensitive one like many other consumer devices. A capacitive type puts an electrical field across the screen, and if another conductive object (say your finger) comes close enough to draw off a charge, it notes where that happens.
Basically, yes Luke, it's a disturbance in the Force
The upside is: the touch feeling is more luxurious because you can use a very light stroke. The downsides are: no using most stylii (a specially tethered one can work), gloves, long fingernails or sometimes even calloused fingers.
Could also very well be one reason why the iPhone was rushed to market... during good weather!

IPhone doesn't work with iPod FM Tuner

For some reason when I plug in my iPhone to my Griffin iPod FM tuner it wont play through the car stereo, it only plays through the iPhone speakers. Is this normal, and is Apple going to make it so it can use iPod accessories?

if it doesnt say "made for iphone" then it probably wont work right or at all....
they are already making things compatible for ipods and iphones...but you are still going to have to buy them

Icloud freezing on MAC Yosemite - doesn't work with my wifi network

Hey everybody,
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I'm having troubles logging into my icloud account on my macbook air - mid 2011, when i log in from preference->icloud and i enter my infos. After a while a message box appears saying that it "can't sign in at this time".
But I noticed one weird thing: I tried to sign in from another wifi network (in a café), and it worked perfectly and everything came back to normal. But when i returned home and connected my MB to my wifi network, icloud freezed another time. Then I returned to the café, and it started to work again normally. But when i came back to test it another time at home, the problem of icloud freezing came back. So I shared some 3G from my iphone and connected my MB to it. And icloud started working fine another time. But when i conneted it to my wifi network, the problem came back.
So I recognized that maybe i'm having some network problems, so i reseted my router (dlink DSL-2640t )and I tried again, but the problem persisted.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

skrble,
Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your troubles.
I re-read your message a couple times and it sounds like you are bringing systems home and that the point is that they will not connect to your home router. You have listed a good number of different ThinkPad models and noted they will not connect to your router while other manufacturers will.
Let me ask, if you take any of these ThinkPads to other locations, are you able to connect view wifi? If so, then the ThinkPad and wifi are working and we appear to have some setting / incompatibility. We have had some odd cases where routers needed a firmware update, but I don't want to jump to conclusions.
Can you please let us know if your laptops will work somewhere else first. If none of the ThinkPads work anywhere, then we have perhaps a different problem. Lastly, when you are at home, have you tried a wired ethernet connection from the ThinkPad to your router. If so, are you then able to get network access? Perhaps we can isolate this a bit.
Thanks

Problem with public WiFi requiring disclaimer on iPhone 5

My iPhone has a problem with public WiFi networks that require you to hit the button accepting a disclaimer before you can browse on the Internet. When I click on the network the Log In header pops up but eventually times out with an "Error Opening Page".
The only work around I have found is to disable cellular data access and then try to connect to the WiFi network. Works fine with cellular data turned off as the disclaimer page pops up quickly.
The big difference I see is the http:/www.apple.com pop up above the Log In header where it's blank if I do not turn off cellular data. If I time out of the WiFi network I'm forced to redo the cellular data on/off to log back in.
WiFi otherwise works fine.
Anyone found a workaround besides having to manually turn on/off cellular data?

Hello Enigma118,
It sounds like you are pressing your Sleep/Wake button and the phone is taking a screenshot. I recommend starting by closing all the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it from your backup with this article:

Hello lila54,
It sounds like your Wi-Fi network is working if your desktop works with it, we just need to get the Wi-Fi on your iPhone and iPad connected to it. I found a couple of resources to help with not being able to connect to Wi-Fi on an iOS device.
I recommend following the steps in this tutorial first (the steps should work on the iPhone and iPad):
Join a network

If you are still having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, follow the steps in this article (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

If these don't work you may have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for an evaluation or contact Apple Support.

The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5. My old android phone worked perfectly with my car. Even the tech guy at Lexus couldn't get it to work. What is apple doing to fix this.

The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5. My old android worked perfectly with my car. Even the tech specialist at Lexus couldn't get it to work. Lexus said that other iPhone 5s were having the same problem. What is apple doing to fix this?

Going to the local Apple store this morning...
My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?
