Wi-Fi function available - However unable to detect any Wireless Networks

Hi All,
Yet another thread about Wi-Fi issues with the iPhone.
--- Underlying problem I am experiencing. ---
iPhone Wi-Fi function is available. When I try connecting to Wireless Networks I receive a message detecting available network and it will not progress from there. I have waited as long as 30 minutes.
--- I have tried the following suggested fixes ---
Performed test to verify Wi-Fi availability by trying to connect two iPhones to my Home Wi-Fi network at once from the same location next to Wi-Fi Router. One successfully detected Wi-Fi networks in a matter of seconds. Mine did not.
1) Reset Network settings through General --> Reset Network Settings (Tried multiple times) = No change
2) Tried disabling Wi-Fi and turning on Airplane mode then powering off the iPhone. Then power back on and then turn off airplane mode and reactivate Wi-Fi = No change.
3) Tried upgrade to OS 3.1.3 = No change
4) Tried downgrade back to 3.1.2 = No change.
5) Tried restoring over 10 times = No change.
6) Also tried to manually set Wi-Fi settings --> getting error *"could not scan wireless networks".*
7) Power Cycling Wireless Router = No Change.
--- Other Fixes I have not had a chance to try ---
1) Reading other posts many are saying that they started experiencing similar issues after a OS update to 3.1.X.
*Solution - Downgrade OS to earlier versions.*
2) Others say it is a Heat problem.
*Solution - Put it in the freezer*
*Solution - Disabling e-mail Push functionality*
3) Wireless Antenna is faulty
*Solution - Buy spare and replace*
Any feedback on the fixes I have not attempted. i have to admit that I was a little reluctent to stick my iPhone in the freezer.
Any help would be fine.
P.S. I have spoke to Apple support and they suspect that it is a hardware issue and it will cost me AUS$268 to swap the existing phone out. (I am OOW - Out of Warranty)

Hey Beta990,
Yes tried full restore to OS 3.1.2 and back to 3.1.3 which did not make a difference. I have two desktops and two laptops connected to my Wi-Fi router. I even did a test with my friends iPhone 3G 8GB and tried connecting simultaneously next to mine and his detected my home Wi-Fi in like 3 seconds and I waited for over 30 minutes and gave up.
But thanks for replying though.
I am out of warranty which really ***** and it will cost me AUS$268 to have it replaced at an Apple store. It sound very much like a hardware fault but I'm just hoping it is a software fault like some people are suggesting online for I don't really want to spend an extra AUS$268. (Tight I know...)
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I tried the fridge fix... nah didn't work for me.
PLEASE IF YOU KNOW OF ANYTHINGS ELSE TO TRY POST ME.

Mac Mini Airport Extreme - Cannot detect any wireless networks

Hello,
Last week my Mac Mini (Power PC)'s hard disk crashed. So I did a DIY replacement. I managed to re-install all the software, and installed all the latest updates.
However, for some reason, the Airport Extreme is not detecting any wireless network after the re-install.
My own wireless network router is a third-party, which has been working well for the last 2 years. My Window PC and laptop still connects to it fine.
I can see the Airport icon but it doesn't how any detected networks (and there are quite a few in my neighbourhood). I did Apple Hardware Test and it shows the Airport card to be working ok.
Any help would be wonderful!

It still may be possible that the antenna wire is not placed properly within the Mini. Here are an excerpt of the DIY instructions for installing the wireless antenna. Hope it helps...
- Make sure that the antenna cables are firmly seated in the mezzanine board.
- Pass the antenna cables through the gap at the rear of the internal frame.
- Carefully lower the internal frame down onto the motherboard. Make sure that the wires are routed to the right of the interconnect board.
- Snap the AirPort antenna onto the black plastic column next to the rear port panel.
- Tape the AirPort antenna wire to the edge of the DVD drive.

HT204409 I am trying to log onto my wireless connection but it keeps telling me I'm unable to locate any wireless network. I know there are several networks nearby. Is this a problem with my phone or my router?

I found a solution that has worked on both iPhone 4's I have that have had the same issues, and also including not being able to download updates in the App store.
Go to Settings > WiFi and turn it OFF.
Next go to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it OFF
Next go back to Settings > WiFi and turn it ON, (wait a few seconds for it to sync with your network)
Finally go back to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it ON.
I had the same issues on both my wife's phone, and my own, and it fixed it immediately without changing any proxy settings or reboots, (which I did try on my phone and did not work, but did not try on my wife's phone)
Hope this helps!

Cannot detect any wireless network (Mac OS X 10.6.8)

Hi,
I need help! My MacBook Pro can't detect any wireless network at all. It happened all of a sudden after 2 weeks from not using it. It works well at first after i turned it on after that 2 weeks then all of a sudden no network can be detected at all! Anybody has encountered his problem before? Any idea how to solve it?
Any help would be deeply appreciated!

Try rebooting tour wireless device as well as your modem, if no joy, try running airport utilities.
Go utilities>airport utilities, follow the prompts.

Iphone 4s was unable to detect any wifi networks and was told to pay £159 to get the entire phone replaced, should i do it?

My iphone 4s does not detect any wifi networks but the apple genius said that the wifi signal seems to be fine but it just is not detecting any wifi networks and because I cannot find my receipt for the phone and the apple store only dates back purchases up to 18months ago, is there a way i can obtain my receipt?

HELP!! AirPort card not detecting any wireless networks?!?

hi, i just had an AirPort extreme card installed in my PowerBook G4, and so far, everywhere i try to access wireless, all it says is "no AirPort networks in range."
I have AirPort turned on, and AirPort and "automatic" and "DHCP"selected in Network preferences, and i have the little icon with the gray bars in the top menu bar, but the lines are always gray, even when everyone around me is getting wireless just fine.
I don't know if this matters, but i don't have a base station or anything at home - i only got wireless to use at cafes, etc, or on university campus where they have wireless. at home i just have a free dialup service, so i use a modem.
Also, i'm really confused reading these posts - everyone's talking about "naming" networks, and passwords, and IP addresses, but the apple guy said that once the card is in and AirPort is on, it should just "pick up" whatever network is available. is that true?
if it's working, does the "name" of the random, supposedly "open" and available network in the cafe/hotel/school building just magically "appear" on the menu? Or do i have to do something or configure something each time to set it up? i just really don't understand and no one seems to be able to help. and i just spent a lot of money on this card. can anyone please help???!!?!?
I even opened it up again and checked to make sure the little cable was clicked firmly into the card, and it sure looked like it was.
thanks!!!!

Double check that the antenna cable is FULLY seated into its socket on the Airport card - doing this properly takes a fair bit of force.
If your Mac's Airport interface is working properly, indeed all you need to do is click on the Airport menu item. A list of all in-range wireless networks will be shown, and you can simply click (to connect) on the name of the network you wish to join. Just like magic!

X31: not detecting any wireless network

My IBM thinkpad is not detecting any network when my wireless router is on. I have checked the windows zero configration and it shows that it has started. The radio signal is also lighted and shown at the centre of the display bottom. My thinkpad is using the cisco pci wireless lan adapter and I have also check the driver, it show working. When I use a USB wireless adapter it can detect my router and connect.
Why cant my internal wireless adapter detect my router when the radio signal is on , windows zero configration started and the pci wireless card enable already.
Thanks,
alvin

try to run the PC-Doctor diagnostic on the laptop wireless card.

Cannot detect any wireless networks on my HP ENVY TouchSmart m7 j120dx

Hello,
My laptop won't pick up any wireless networks at all - I'm having what seems like a few different problems:
1. Because the laptop won't pick up any wireless networks, I can't of course connect to the internet without using my ethernet cable.
2. When I try to turn my adapter on using the F12 key, all it does is toggle airplane mode - which isn't going to help me connect to the internet.
3. When I go to 'Network' under PC Settings, I can toggle airplane mode but the bluetooth is greyed out and can't be toggled and it doesn't even give me an option to turn back on my wifi adapter.
4. When I went into the Network and Sharing Center to enable the adapter that way under 'Change Adapter Settings', I couldn't even see the adapter listed there. All it showed was Ethernet and Hamachi because I use LogMeIn Hamachi on my computer.
By this point, I was like "Oh, great - the adapter might somehow not even be there even though it was last night," (I was online wirelessly the night before) so I went into the device manager and then expanded Network Adapters I only saw the same two Ethernet and LogMeIn adapters.
5. So next, I tried downloading the adapter - but the problem is, I have no idea what kind my laptop is supposed to have. Going to the download drivers section in the support area of the hp website, I found many options and none of them seemed to work. I also tried redownloading the Wireless Button Driver (whatever that's called) and that didn't work.
5. I even tried doing a system restore to a point of about a week ago - this also did not solve my problem because the same things were happening and the same things I tried above still are not solving the problem either.
I know countless other people have had the same problem(s) mentioned above (simple Google search told me that) with their HP ENVY Notebook PCs, so I'm hoping that someone can help me and finally solve this problem for me.
The model is HP ENVY TouchSmart m7 j120dx, the model number is E8A11UA#ABA, and my computer is running Windows 8.1 64-bit.
On another note, here's the names of the only 2 adapters that show up in my device manager list (one is for LogMeIn Hamachi);
Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (Ethernet)
LogMeIn Hamachi Virtual Ethernet Adapter (Hamachi)
The wireless was working fine before with Hamachi installed, so I doubt that has any significance.
If there's any other information you need that I did not mention above, feel free to ask me. I look forward to someone replying as soon as possible and being able to find a solution to this problem for me!
EDIT: One other thing I should mention is that the wifi in my location is working fine for every other device I try (phone, gaming console, other people's laptops/desktops, etc.

Hello dginther,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand wireless is not working properly. If the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore
Next, please try the steps in this HP document: Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 8)
These steps should be enough to resolve the issue. If not, you can try a manual reinstall of the driver:
1. Go into Device Manager, then Network adapters.
2. Right-click on the wireless driver, and select "Uninstall".
3. Restart the computer. This will force the driver to reinstall itself.
Please let me know the results of your troubleshooting. Thanks!

My iphone 4s won't detect any wifi networks.

Hi
My iPhone 4s won't detect any wireless networks. It was working fine until last night when the connection dropped int he middle of me watching a programme. At first I thought it was our router, but I reset that about 5 times, and all other devices are working fine on it. The phone won't detect any other networks either - if I ask to join a network it comes up with the message "could not scan for wireless networks". I have tried resetting the network settings as suggested on the support page, but it hasn't worked. Can anybody help? Thank you.

If no change after resetting network settings on the iPhone, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

I am trying out some stuff. For which I created a simple Entity. In the form of the entity I have added a simple web resource (html). And for the onload of the form I am calling the following function
function HelpDeskActivityOnLoadhandler()
var customParameters = encodeURIComponent("first=First Value&second=Second Value&third=Third Value");
    Xrm.Utility.openWebResource("tsi_scriptzz",customParameters);
Here is the code for the tsi_scriptzz.html
<html>
<body>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    var vals = new Array();
    if (location.search != "") {
     vals = location.search.substr(1).split("&");
     for (var i in vals) {
      vals[i] = vals[i].replace(/\+/g, " ").split("=");

Hello, I tried it myself. I got a new_test.htm file and a new_test.js file. The loadWebResource function is called on the OnLoad event of an Entity.

log(params[i].name + ' ' + params[i].value);
// this functions puts the params in a 'dictionary format'
// f.e params[0].name = param1 & params[0].value = 'value one'
// You could customize this function or find some on the internet to retrieve a param fe by name...
// This is just an example how to get the name and values
function getParams(){
var params = [];
var querystring = Xrm.Page.context.getQueryStringParameters().Data;

Before my carrier was showing airtel now after using ultrasnOw to unlock it is now unable to detect any network list

This AirPort base station was unable to extend the wireless network.

I have an AirPort Extreme in the lounge connected to BT infinity.
I also have an airport express in the kitchen connected to a stereo system.
I have had this set up for around 12 months.
The airport express will not extend the wireless network.
I reset it, restart, factory reset etc and it will work fine for around 3 days, then I get the same error message saying
This AirPort base station was unable to extend the wireless network. Make sure the wireless network you’re trying to extend was set up and is working correctly, that you entered a matching wireless network password into this device, and that this device is in range of the wireless network.
The express is situated easily within range of the extreme. And the airplay between those two, my iMac and two apple tv's works pretty much as it should.
Can someone please shed some light on this?
Maybe I have it in a wrong setting or summut....

I am also experiencing a recent failure in my Airport devices no longer extending my wireless network.
My Aiport Express and second Airport Extreme were extending my wireless network for more than a year
The only change that has taken place lately is that the firmware for both devices was upgraded to 7.6.4, however the upgrade was only in response to trying to resolve this problem. Needless to say, the firmware upgrade did not resolve anything.
If I didn't know better, I'd have thought I wrote the above.
I have a TC from a few years ago (last one before the tower, I think), plus the older AEBS that it replaced extending the network, plus a 1-year-old Express also extending. I had upgraded them all to 7.6.3/4 when it came out, but reverted them all to 7.6.1 when everything went crapways (others having the same issues of the LAN regularly croaking), and didn't bother upgrading again since.
Today I just tried 7.6.4 on all of them, and it seemed OK at first with green lights all around in Airport Utility. Then I made one change, which was to enable 5Ghz on the main AEBS/TC only (the express doesn't need it, and the older AEBS can't do it).
The latter two started flasing amber and giving the "unable to extend wireless network" error message.
So I'm wondering if you are similarly using 5Ghz?

My iphone 4s is no longer detecting wifi since the ISO8 updates came out. I've restarted, rest the networks, reset the phone back to factory settings, and even tried the freezer trick. It is STILL not detecting ANY wifi networks. HELP!!!

My iphone 4s is no longer detecting wifi since the IOS8 updates came out. I've restarted, rest the networks, reset the phone back to factory settings, and even tried the freezer trick. It is STILL not detecting ANY wifi networks. HELP!!! I cannot afford to go over my data and I use wifi at home and work... I believe the updates have caused the issue, because it was working fine before the second update released (I hadn't put the first one one until I noticed it had stopped working, and by then the second IOS8 version had came out). They need to do a third update to fix this issue.

If it's grayed out:
Reset Network Settings - if that doesn't fix it, then Backup and Restore AS A NEW DEVICE.
If it's still grayed out, unfortunately that means your Wi-Fi antenna quit, and it needs service.

Ipad2 is no longer detecting ANY wifi networks.

Hi, my 9 month old ipad 2 no longer detects ANY wifi networks. Was always logged on to our own home router and in settings was always able to 'see' neighbours wifi - now nothing shows.Is this a hardware problem?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
