Wifi auto-join button gone ?

I have a iPhone 4s and iPad 2, both on iOS 6.1.3
At home I have my home wifi, and a slower public hotspot from my ISP
On the iPad, I have 2 options in the wifi hotspot settings: auto-join and auto-login.
On my iPhone, these options are not shown.
Both devices use different cellular providers... (Proximus/mobistar)
Is there a possibility to get those 2 options on my iPhone ?
It's annoying that my phone connects to a public network while I have my home network available...
Thanks,
Steven

The. I will have to login every time i want to use the hotspot, and that's a lot ! :-)
Thise hotspots are all over the city...
Forgetting the hotspot network and the rejoining it made the buttons appear though...

Mac Os X Lion - Wifi Auto-Join/Dropout Solution

Just a FYI for others who may encounter this problem after upgrading to Lion.
Found a good solution from -

Using his recommendation I found simply removing 'Wifi' (by clicking the '-') in Network Preferences clicking 'Apply' and then adding it again via '+'. Resolved the wifi auto-join problem (on start-up and wake) and dropout issue for me.
Using a Macbook Pro 13" - 2011 model (upgrade - not clean install of Lion).

First, grow up. Just because YOUR phone isn't working, doesn't mean Apple put out bad software. I've not had any difficulty, nor has anyone else I know. And just how is Apple risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working? It's YOUR decision to talk on the phone or text and drive. Not Apple's.
We're users here, volunteering our time to help others. Posts like yours, which are whiny and ranting, simply means we're likely to ignore you and not provide you with any help. Not to mention, it makes you look absolutely foolish.
Further making you look foolish is the fact that you haven't even asked a technical support question, nor have you provided anyone here with any troubleshooting steps you might have taken, including those recommended in the user guide.
Good luck getting help.

How to reset auto-join in wifi after its been disabled

under my wifi connection i told it to disable the auto join how do i reactivate it

1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
2. Here are two different but direct methods:
    a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
    b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
        and service.
3. For other queries about Apple ID see Frequently asked questions about Apple ID.

TS1398 phone not auto joining wifi at home other iphones are ok though any ideas anyone

help plz, iphone 4 not auto joining wifi network @ home, other iphones in house are joining with no probs can anyone help????

hi, if dilbert41's answer didn't work, try pressing on the little bleu arrow next to your wifi name in settings>wi-fi, then press forget this network, then press your wifi name again and type ur password, then check again that 'ask to join networks' is turned off in the bottom of the wi-fi page, and it should normally work

Ipad Wifi settings no auto-join auto-log in

I'm at a hotel with free wifi and tech support tells me to shut off auto login on my iPad
Did it successfully last night, but now this morning neither auto join or auto log in appears.
Is there a setting somewhere that makes these visible?
Whahappened?!

Justdar-
Do you remember where you found "auto log in" before? I can't find it on my iPad.
What may work, is to go to Settings-WiFi-Choose a network. Click the blue arrow to the right of your network, if you are connected to one. Pressing "Forget this Network" will disconnect the WiFi, and remove that WiFi router from the Known Networks auto-connect list. You will need to do this before each session, and manually select the Wifi according to your Tech Support instructions.

I'm on my iphone4 now but I'm trying to connect my IPhone3G to my wifi. I have a 6 letter password and I type it in but the join button won't turn on. What is wrong?

iPhone 4 an my dads 3G works fine with the wifi. Please, any ideas?

Ran into that once before and the solution was to change the wi-fi router password to at least 8 characters, then your Join button should work.

Wi-Fi doesn't give Auto-Join or Forget Network options

Is this normal for iOS 5.1? If I go out of range or turn my WiFi off, and then come in range/turn wifi on, it won't autoconnect and I have to re-input the password. When I hit the blue arrow next to the connected network, it doesn't give me a Forget Network button or and Auto-Join switch. This is really annoying and I've restored/reset Network options plenty of times to no avail.

Possibly found a solution...
I unplugged the router for a few seconds (I've tried this before) and then plugged it back in. Then I reset my network settings on the iPod. Then I manually logged into my network via the "Join Other Network" option in WiFi. I still don't have an "Auto-Join" Switch, but I have the Forget This Network button and when I turned WiFi off then on again, it reconnected automatically.

I try to connect to my router but the join button isn't available?

I am horrible at computers!! I had someone who knows about computer fix my ipad so I could message from it. In order to fix it he had to delete my account and then start again. I lost my settings and some of my pictures unfortunaley but worst of all I can't reconnect to my router at home. I try to connect and put my password in but the join button isn't available??

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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

Impossible to move the wifi on/off button in settings, no more wifi

This is a known issue and Apple is working to release a patch very soon.

Wifi Auto disconnect after 5-10 of sleep.

Here's my technical data:
Iphone 4s
iOS 8
I connect to wifi and lock my phone, after 5-10 minutes of sleeping the wifi auto disconnect.
To test this, I tried sending a LINE message and as expected, I didn't receive the message.
Is this a problem with the OS or is it normal for wifi to disconnect automatically?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
* No data is lost due to a reset

Where has the visualizer button gone?

where has the visualizer button gone in the bottom right corner?
bit of a pain as i used it quite often

iTunes 7 is pretty smart overall, nevertheless I have a few serious gripes with the interface. Firstly the little 'snowflake' icon on the bottom right that switches on the visuals has been replaced by the browse and burn icons. Was there a problem with the previous layout? My wife and I use that button everytime we turn on the visuals on our Mac Mini sound system in the living room. It was super convenient because you could move in a single mouse sweep from selecting a playlist to switching on visuals. With iTunes 7 you have to either select from the pop-down menu or switch to the keyboard and press cmd+T. It might not seem such a big deal to some but it's definitely a backwards step, no matter how small.
The album art selector/display is very cool and niftily programmed however I'll never use it. The reason? Because if you fill it with album artwork, all those images are displayed over the visualiser at the start of each tune, which I HATE. I don't want sleeve designs ruining the beauty of G-Force which I paid good money to see. It's bad enough having the track info show when I already know what's playing! iTunes 7 is simply not configurable enough if you ask me, and hey, you shouldn't have to start configuring Fkeys to make up for the fundemental lack of choice in the program preferences.
I have a pal who loves the gapless playback in the new iTunes 7 because it's great for mix cds. Well maybe that's the best playback feature of iTunes 7 but I'm afraid it doesn't make up for the loss of the visualiser button, so there!

Now on iOS 6, auto-join on wi-fi won't stay on.

After chaotic ios 6 update, auto- join on wi-fi won't stay on

found 2 ways:
reset network settings: go to settings>general>reset>reset network settings. However I didn't do this because I think I would need to re enter all the passwords for the different wifis I use.
So I used the following:
instead tapping my network name and trying to keep auto-join to yes
when you are in settings>wifi,
tap "other" and enter the network name. you will have to choose the type of encryption key and enter the password. I just tried WEP type and it worked for me.

Wifi auto-join button gone ?
