Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1update

Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1 update, it worked perfectly before, my wifes 3gs connects fine and stays connected while my £400 paperweight losses connection, thinking of going back to nokia! Sort it out apple!

If the "oh so Great Apple" were to monitor these forums then they might see all the problems
that the people who have paid good money for their devices are having, i suppose they can do no wrong
In your eyes, i just thought that if you pay a lot of money for a product that works fine, and you update
It with a firmware update that they kept going on about how good it was and it can do this and it can
Do that, then i think they should sort it out. I don't care if i "don't deserve to be an apple owner" or not,
The fact is i paid my money and it should do what its suppose to do, i moved from Nokia to Apple because
The N97 was crap and i put up with it for too long, and they didn't do anything to fix the bugs they just stopped
Selling it and basically said tough s**t, so now this is happened i hoped Apple whould be better but they seem
To be just like the rest.

  • Why does my ipad 2 keep dropping the connection to my BT Home Hub, whilst streaming video, since upgrading to IOS 6?

    Ever since i have upgraded to IOS6 My connection to my BT Hub 3 wifi router keeps dropping out whenever i am streaming video. I have an Apple TV connected as well which is fine as are other devices, its just the Ipad since the move to IOS6. It is really frustrating and i had hoped the 6.01 release would have resolved it, but it didnt. I have seen other similar comments, i just want to know if this is a common known fault which Apple are going to fix.
    The strength of Apple has always been 'it just works' , i can't help but feel that there are cracks appearing in this.

    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 droping 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

  • Ipad keeps dropping wifi connection since 4.3 update

    My Ipad just won't stay connected to wifi since I updated to 4.3. It keeps dropping, I keep manually reconnecting and a minute or so later it drops again. I tried rebooting it, rebooting my router, etc. I know it's not a signal strength issue - other device are getting a strong signal right next to the Ipad - and the Ipad always worked flawlessly until now.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    What make/model router do you have? Does it have the latest firmware?
    Does your IPad still work on other networks, i.e., Borders, Barnes & Noble, etc.?
    This could be a 4.3 bug or a 4.3 change may just have exposed a bug in your router. This is why getting the latest router firmware is important. That bug (if it exists) may already have been fixed.
    If you can't get it working report your problem to Apple along with router details (make/model/version, router firmware level) to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Why does my Iphone 4s keep dropping the network

    Hi there, my 4s has just started dropping the network (Vodafone) today, it has no service for 5 mins or so then full signal for about a minute. It seems to be repeating this over and over.... Has anyone any similar type of problem? If so can you help with a solution? It's driving me nuts!

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restart the device.
    Replace the SIM card.
    Address issue with carrier regarding their network.
    Has any of the above been done?

  • Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "Cannot take photo" there is not enough available storage to take a photo, etc? I have it hooked up to ICloud and the cameral roll???

    Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "cannot take photo" there's not enough storage, but I have my phone/camera roll hooked up to Icloud and have purchased additional storage???

    iCloud storage has nothing to do with remaining memory on the phone - only memory for backups and Photostream.  The photo has to first be stored on the phone and copies sent to iCloud.  If there is not enough available memory on the phone, the photo can't be taken.
    To determine the remaining memory on the phone:
    Settings > General > Usage > Storage
    The Camera Roll is meant for temporary storage of photos, which should be imported to an app on your computer and deleted from Camera Roll.  You can then sync back those photos which you want to keep on the phone.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep sending emails instead of texts via iMessage?

    Why does my iPhone 4 keep sending emails instead of texts via iMessage?

    This was driving me crazy but I've cracked it!!
    Go to: Settings, Messages, Send & Receive.  My mobile number was greyed out and wouldn't allow me to select it.  My email address was highlighted but it also allowed me to "Add An Email".  I selected my current email address and it gave me the option to delete it.  Once I deleted my email address, it automatically reverted to my mobile number!!
    Hip hip hooray.  I can relax at last.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep loosing it's ability to download emails or connect to the Internet?  I can power it off at when I restart I can send and receive but after awhile all I get is it trying to connect.

    Why does my iPhone 4 keep loosing it's connection to download emails or go onto safari?  If I power down the phone and restart it then it will connect but shortly after it will loose the connection and then just shows connecting in email or in safari unable to connect to the Internet 

    I'm guessing it's more likely a problem with your carrier's 3G network in the area. You shouldn't have to modify any settings for 3G to work consistently on a supported carrier.
    You can try turning off 3G data, with will switch over to Edge if it exists. If it does, it will be much slower than 3G, but I suppose faster than 0 is better than 0.
    I'd contact your carrier about it.

  • Why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

    why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

    I use homeplug powerline adapters to create my home Lan. I've never had any problem with my ATV 2.
    This isn't ideal either, I would rather have shielded CAT7 cables reach all the way to my modem.
    Either way, wired solutions are more reliable and have a higher potential speed as wireless uses pulsed electromagnetic radiation as a means for transportation in stead of copper or fiber optic cables
    The World Health Organization's IARC has recently classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly level 2 carcinogenic to humans, concluding:
    "the evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion and the 2B classification. The conclusion means that there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk."
