Why won't my home wifi work after jelly bean update?

My phone updated to jelly bean on tuesday morning, and i noticed i cannot connect to my home wifi. It will connect at school or work however. I have tried turning off and on my phone and my router. I know its not my connection because my other devices all connect to it. When i go to the wifi on my phone, it detects my home wifi with a full signal, but when i put the password in to connect, it says the signal is poor and it just repeatedly tries to connect. Is there any way that i can get my wifi to work again? If i have to and if there is a way i will uninstall jelly bean if thats the only way to get it to work again.

Here is my current situation with a brand new Razr HD:
-Linksys WRT54GL with updated firmware
-New Razr HD purchased 5 days ago
-System Version: 9.16.6.X926
-Android Version 4.1.2
-Build Number 9.8.1Q-62_VQW_MR-2
My Mom got the same phone at the same time and has dropped calls, poor wifi signal and range, etc.
I have fully set up my phone with apps and all settings perfect, cleared the system cache, one factory reset and input all app usernames and passwords again, etc.
My phone is perfect, except for not connecting to wifi in a room downstairs from the router where all other devices, a Nook, 10-year old DELL laptop, and Droid Incredible get 4 full bars of wifi strength. This Razr does not connect at all and rarely if it does when I leave the door open gets one bar of strength and is useless.
I love the phone so much I am reluctant to swap it out and lose all my app settings and customization. I read that it isn't mattering if you swap it out, still the same problem. But it's bothering me and I want it right so I went to the Verizon store today to test it and swap it out for a new different one. They don't perform tests and didn't know what I was talking about. Very abrasive staff and manager tried to research the issue for a half an hour, then said they had a call in to Motorola. If I wanted to swap it out I could but that would be my one swap and that's it.
I have actually spent so much time and effort on this I wanted to get a MAXX HD for my wasted time and frustration. That is simply out of the question. I stood there with my phone connected to the Verizon wifi network in the store with one bar of wifi strength, while the display connected to the same network showed a full network signal all bars.
They were so abrasive, demanding that it doesn't matter how many wifi bars you get it will still connect to the Internet. I said no that's not true this device will not connect in my bedroom while all other old devices get full wifi strength. They didn't care.
They were so reluctant in the matter that I decided to walk out and watch for an update to Jelly Bean to solve the issue. People are taking their phones back and it doesn't fix this. It seems to be strictly a Jelly Bean update fix.
I will watch my phone, only use wifi in large areas that usually work fine, etc. My question is: When will there be a Jelly Bean update pushed out to Razr HD owners on Jelly Bean so they will have comparable wifi and signal strength to every other wifi enabled device that exists?
Thanks
PS. I have tried every single router and phone setting mentioned on any forum. Same thing. This requires a 2nd update.

Downloading phone book problem after "Jelly Bean" update

I own a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT with Bluetooth (labeled as Link System) and a Motorola Droid RAZR. The vehicle has always recognized the phone as paired. Prior to "Jelly Bean", I had no problems downloading the entire phone book to the Bluetooth device in the vehicle. However, I had noticed on a recent trip that several new contacts were not recognized by the Link system. I realized that I needed to update the phonebook. I first deleted the old phone book from the vehicle, but I was then unable to download the new phone book to the vehicle. I tried several times but with no success. An additional Bluetooth symbol would appear to the left at the top of the phone display with the message "PBap connection request". The message would disappear after a second. But several seconds later, the upper left-hand Bluetooth symbol would also disappear, and the vehicle Bluetooth device would then inform me that the phone book download had failed. I contacted Verizon tech support last week, and the rep and I concluded that the Jelly Bean update was the problem, but she was unable to fix it. I also noticed elsewhere on the Verizon web site that several other people with different vehicles were also unable to download the phonebook from their Android phone to their vehicle's Bluetooth device.
I then realized that perhaps the Jelly Bean update had changed only how the Bluetooth on the phone interacted with the Bluetooth/Link system on the vehicle. I concluded that I needed to delete not just the old phone book from the vehicle's Bluetooth device, but also the pairing/recognition of the phone itself from the vehicle's Bluetooth device. I then reinstalled pairing/recognition of the Droid RAZR on the vehicle's Bluetooth device, and successfully downloaded the phone book from the RAZR to the Bluetooth device on the vehicle. This action should fix the problem on other vehicles as well.

Jandariea, I understand how frustrating this could be. You would think a software update would be fully baked and basic functions like Wifi would work. However, this is not the case with all Jelly Bean software updates. You sound more like the exception then the rule! Have you tried to disable/enable airplane mode? Does this issue only happen with your home wifi, or can you connect to a public Wifi (i.e. library or Starbucks)? Have you tried to do a master reset on the phone http://bit.ly/T1Ib1B ?^SP

Xperia J- Problem in touch after Jelly Bean Update

Hello Friends,
I am facing a serious problem in Xperia J after the Jelly Bean Update.
1) The touch functionality is not working, ie, I am not able to tap the icons to open an app
2) The back/ home button does not respond to touch
The next point is very interesting:
3) The touch automatically happens, ie, when I just unlock the screen by sliding the unlock button, then automatically the apps get selected, closes by itself, ofens the inner pages which I cant even control.
Please help by atleast advising me on how to down grade the softwareback to ICS.
Thanks in advance,
~Viswanath

It would be worthwhile running a repair:
To repair the phone software
1.     Install PC Companion on a Windows PC from Support
2.     Turn on the phone, and connect it to the PC using a USB cable.

Terrible reception after Jelly Bean update

The morning after upgrading to Jelly Bean my phone suddenly began having terrible reception issues. At home I normally get about 2-3 bars but I have never had any issues getting calls out or in or texting... Now I get one bar and absolutely cannot call out or text out AT ALL... I can receive texts, but I get no calls. Sometimes it will say that I have no service, even when I have one or two bars...
Even when I drive closer to town I can't call out until I get 4 or 5 bars... even then reception is poor and calls are dropped for no reason. Literally this phone has gone from working beautifully to being absolutely worthless as a phone. Wireless still works fine at home and I still get 3G/4G service... It also always says I'm Roaming at home or if I have less than 3 bars...
I have tried *228 and even reset the phone to factory defaults with a full wipe. No beuno... Obviously I've tried numerous reboots as well...
I'm not sure if the Jelly Bean update is a coincedence, but something is definitely up with my phone...
Suggestions?

Javaslinger, I'm sad to see that you've developed signal issues on your phone after the software update. Updates should bring enhancements and fix bugs, not cause issues. It looks like you've done quite a bit of troubleshooting already. If you have a battery saver, please uninstall as these can turn off data to save battery, causing signal issues.
If still having issues, we'll need to submit more info to our product team.
1) Provide network type and network strength details observed on phone, Menu>Setting>About Phone> Phone status> network type and network strength parameters.
2) What type of network service issues are observed on device? Like call drop, browsing failures, SMS etc..
3) Do you see any flickering in "network type" icon at the time of issue happened.
4) Is the issue random / always ?
5) Is the issue limited to a location/region or does he have problem everywhere you visit?

No Speed Dial after Jelly Bean update

I am using a Razr Maxx. I had several speed dial numbers set up and working before the update. Now they do not work and I cannot add them from the menu or by holding down the number I want to assign. What is going on? How do I fix it?

Speed dial was one of the features removed in Jelly Bean; alternatives are Direct Dial and Favorite Contacts widgets.

Why won't my HDMI output work after update my iPad to iOS6?

After updating my iPad to iOS6 it won't play my videos on my tv via HDMI cable. The tv displays "invalid format" I don't know how to chnage the display settings on the iPad because maybe there are none. Is there some backdoor way to change the settings so maybe I can use my $40+ cables I bought?

This is vatastrophic! I came to a congressional doctor meeting to give a lecture! It would't work!! Only iphone 4 projected muzzy picture and only on photo show!
Are they crazy? Why did they fricked it up?
Both were updated to iOs6!!!

Why won't the music app work after the IOS 7.1 update?

Every time i try to listen to my music in the Apple Music app it opens then freezes. Sometimes it will let me open an artist but wont play the songs. I tried going into the settings to see if i could change anything but it wont let me open the music settings tab, the button just turns gray and freezes my phone. I've tried force quitting the app and re starting my phone and nothing has worked.

Hello mbongi1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Music app on your iPhone. You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already to isolate and troubleshoot the issue. I have a couple of additional suggestions you can try.
First, I recommend resetting your iPhone:
Reset
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue persists after resetting your iPhone, I recommed backing up and restoring your iPhone:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Why won't my Home Sharing work?

I have a MacBook Pro running Lion. Home Sharing is turned on and logged in on iTunes and iTunes is running, still I cannot access my computer's Library on my Apple TV (2 gen) which also has Home Sharing turned on and logged in.. It used to work every time, but recently it has decided not to load the Library. I have not changed anything anywhere, either in my home network (Airport Extreme) or any system preferences. I do not understand why this has happened.
Can anyone (especially Apple techs) give me a reason for this problem and advise how to fix it. I would like very much to watch my iTunes Movies on my HDTV via Apple TV as I used to be able to do, but it just will not cooperate.

I have done a comprehensive check on all my other devices (iPhone 4s, iPad mini, iPad (1) and all of those devices have NO problem with Home Sharing. They all work as they are supposed to. So, I decided to "reset" my Apple TV. It seems to have worked. I have now tried three different times with Appl;e TV and it worked each time.
Therefore, I would advise anyone else having problems with Home Sharing on an Apple TV to reset the Apple TV. You will of course have to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network and restart Home Sharing and enter your account information as well as other initial settings which Apple TV will prompt you for. But it did work, at least for now.

Why won't my LED light work after I turned it on in the Accessibility settings?

After upgrading to iOS 5, I turned on the LED notification that lets your camera flash light up when you get a text but it's not working. Anyone have any clue what to do to get it to work?

Never mind. I saw this in the forums after I submitted my question:
"hey everyone. try this before you make trips to the store. turn off the light in your settings and reset your phone. (hold power and home until the apple logo comes up). then when the phone has started back up, turn the light on again and test it ! ( send yourself a text and turn off your screen. you should get the flash when you receive your msg!)
keep in mind though it doesnt flash until you have your screen off.
i think the light must glitch out if you change the flash settings in your camera- and the program requires a restart. hopefully apple fixes this bug (:"
Did this and it worked =)

Why won't air print wont work after ios6 update on iphone?

It was working before I updated....my printer is KodakEPS2170

I had the same issue. BTW, that troubleshooting assistant is worthless. I did 2 things to get it working. I'm not sure if one or the other fixed it or it was combination of both. I had the "No Air Printers Found" and did the usual rebooting everything, firmware updates, etc. I could print and scan from the epson app fine. I downloaded the epson airprint app from the app store (It's called Epson Printer Finder) and verified my settings under the Airprint section and choose to save the settings. I didn't change anything, just looked at the settings. I also setup the epson connect feature on the printer. After I did both of those I went into mail and tried to print an email message and all of a sudden I could see my printer. It's worked perfect since then. I hope this helps someone.

Why won't podcasts and store work after I upgraded to itunes 11.0.1.12

I upgraded itunes 11.0.1.12 and now my podcasts won't load and I can't get to the store. My internet is working and connected because I can get on other websites.

Looks like it was an external drive problem. Once I saw vids were skipping other video players, and file transfers from The WD drive paused and started like the videos played told me it was a hardware problem. No more Western Digital drives for me.

Why won't the home button work

I just dropped my iphone for the first time. It didn't have an otter box, just a thin plastic cover. It landed on it's screen but shows no screen damage whatsoever. Now I can't use the home button. I can listen to my music and play games just fine, but when it comes to getting back to the home screen with the home button it doesn't work. It makes the usual clicking sound, but nothing else. I got it to the home screen a couple of times by pushing the button with alot of force but I'm affraid that will damage it more. What should I do? Is it fixable? Do I have to take it to be repaired or can I fix it at home?

Sounds like you broke your phone. Bringt it and $149 to the Apple store for an out of warranty replacement.

Why won't my DR-2010C work after download of software and drivers to vista??

Please help! I have the DR-2010C Scanner without an installation disc. I have downloaded from USA Canon the driver and software for my scanner. It will not work!! Please help !!!??? Thank you !!!

I went ahead and went to the Epson website to check to see if the printer was compatable with Lion, and this is what I found from: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=C11CA69 201 under the specifications section.
Operating Systems:
Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, Windows XP, Windows XP x64
Mac OS® X, 10.4.11, 10.5.8 and 10.6.x
It looks like this printer probably will not work in Lion until Epson releases a software update that makes it work with 10.7.x.
Let me know if you have any more questions,
Kevin

Make sure that the exact billing address on your banking statement is the same as what is on your itunes store account.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646?viewlocale=en_US
Also, if you owe itunes store funds, it will give the error message as well. If you do owe, you have to provide an itunes store gift card to cover the balance before placing the CC back on file.

Why won't my internet ever work after an update?

Every time that I do an update my internet will be hard to connect to. This last time I did an update I wasn't even able to open word or Powerpoint. When I visit certain sites not I get the ring of death. Before I could go anywhere I wanted without any problems. Someone help me please.

Your statements are completely random.
What is a "ring of death"?
An update of what?
What does this have to do with Pages?
Have you checked your system with anti-virus and do you use a web blocker like Little Snitch if you seem to be having trouble with your internet?
