WiFi icon/indicator disappears

Yesterday a bunch of users noticed that their WiFi icon/indicator disapeared and that the phones show "acquiring IP address" non-stop. Two things:
1) I noticed that even though this is happening I could still use WiFi to access servers on my LAN anyway, so my WiFi worked (same with other users).
2) This symptom coincided with blackberry.com being offline.
3) If you turn off Data Services in settings, the WiFi icon comes back immediately.
As soon as blackberry.com came back online, everybody's WiFi icon came back
Can you provide an explanation for this behaviour? I would dearly love to clear the matter up with all my users/friends.
Cheers,
Dave Matthews
P.S. The exact same thing happened two weeks ago (June 3rd).

a better option IMO is to use Address Reservation in DHCP
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.
not sure if you have tested this or not John, but it makes life easier when you dont have to change network settings on a laptop, tablet or mobile phone

No Wifi icon indicator in upper left

When I log on to wireless networks with my iPad it shows as logged in in the Wifi area of settings. But when leave there the icons in upper left still show cell signal/lte and not the wireless signal strength icon. Why is this happening and how do I ensure using wireless vs cell coverage?

Hi SD Buck,
Here are some suggestions for troubleshooting wireless networks on your iPad:

If you ever need to ensure you're using Wi-Fi and not cellular, you can turn it off:

WiFi Icons in 1G Touch

Since updating to OS 3.1.2 (or maybe 3.1.1), my wifi icons indicating connection and progress no longer appear. Wifi works, but the icons don't. Following another post on this board, I have tried restarting and restoring the unit several times, but it has not helped.

I'm assuming you mean the WiFi signal strength icon in the top left corner. If that isn't it, then I'm not sure what you are referring to.
BTW, if you don't have the WiFi (actually Airport) symbol, the only way I know to get it back is to reset your network settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

WiFi icon and progress indicator disappeared from 1st Gen iPod Touch

I've been using the OS 3.0 update since it came out, but about earlier this week I noticed that my WiFi icon disappeared from the top of my screen as well as the progress indicator. Now when I launch Mail, I can't tell if it is actually checking for mail or just sitting there. I also can't tell if I have WiFi or not unless I try an app that uses it. Currently, wifi is working just fine, I just can't get the indicator to work. Any suggestions? I've tried restarting a couple of times with no effect.

try a reset, then retry. To reset the phone press and hold the sleep button and home button at the same time until you see a silver apple. DO NOT slide to turn off at the screen prompt, just keep holding those buttons until you see the apple.
after trying that and it still doesnt work, try a restore.

WiFi icon disappears in landscape mode

On my 32GB iPhone 3G-S running version 3.1.2, while in Safari or Mail, the WiFi icon disappears when I turn the phone from portrait to landscape mode. I am still connected to the WiFi network OK and can use the applications fine, but there is no verification that I am connected. For completeness, I am currently in Europe and have placed the phone in Airplane Mode to avoid international roaming and data charges.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Well - I appear to have, at least temporarily, solved this problem by doing a phone reset. Icon is now staying visible in landscape mode after the reset.

WiFi icon in status bar disappeared

Hi, two days ago the wifi icon in the status bar just disappeared. I can connect to wifi networks as usual, but no wifi icon is visible anymore. Could this be due to having installed the Accuweather app? This app has a temperature notification in the status bar. However, the wifi icon does not come back even when I switch off Accuweather notifications... I tried rebooting etc, but nothing seems to work. Bizarre.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Original iPad WiFi works, but no WiFi icon

I know this started after I upgraded to 4.3, but I can't say whether it started immediately after installing 4.3.
My original 16GB WiFi only iPad has always been a champ when it comes to connecting to and staying connected to WiFi. Lately, I've noticed that the WiFi indicator just disappears, as if there is no connection. I am, however, still connected and everything works just fine.
I know that if I re-set or power cycle the iPad, it comes back, but after some period of time, the indicator will disappear again. I'm trying to pin down whether this is related to a 3rd party app in some way, but haven't identified anything yet.
Any others with this issue?

Hi,
One way to narrow this down to an app is to sync your apps 5 at a time then test your iPad Wi Fi. It could very well be an app causing the icon to disappear.

No WiFi icon and not detecting any networks on new ipad 2

Hi
I have a new ipad 2 16G wifi.
I went through all the setup but have been unable to connect to any networks.
I have updated software
I have restored
I have turned router on / off
I have made router public
I have tried to specify the network
I have reset
I have turned WiFi on i pad on / off
All i get is the the little grey spinning wheel.
Iphone 4, all other wireless devices etc work fine on this network.
Any suggestions? i can see that the wireless icon has disappeared for some people when updating software, but i have never had the wifi icon on, despite it saying that wifi is switched on!
I am starting to think that there may actually just be a fault with the ipad itself....

There is no network to forget.
When i try and choose other and mannually input details when i select join it says "Could not scan for wireless networks"

SSL indicator disappears when page with video tag has been loaded

I have a strange bug in Firefox, that was detected when site moved to SSL.
There is single page site built on Backbone.
When page with video tag loaded SSL indicator disappears.
Firebug shows that Firefox create GET request connection to the server but it hangs.
All site logic work correctly. And video on this page works perfect, I can click play and new connection will be created and video played but first connection still hangs.
There is four page with video tag (four steps of wizard) and hanged connection appears randomly on this pages.
Actually this issue exists without SSL, but detected only when we moved to SSL and lock icon began to disappear.

The SSL indicator can disappear if there is mixed content on that page (i.e. coming via an unencrypted http connection).
Did you click the Site Identity Button (globe/padlock) and proceeded to the Security tab in Page Info?

AirPlay icon keeps disappearing

Hi,
The AirPlay icon has disappeared from the control centre of my ipad and iPhone again. Last time resetting the Apple TV worked but it's long-winded and didn't help this time. All three devices have up to date software, fine connectivity on their own and are on the same wifi. It worked fine a couple of days ago and nothing has changed. I've tried the troubleshooting and there are no settings or messages for airplay not working, it just disappears with no explanation.
Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it? Thanks.
Ben

airplay does not work over the Internet so if your iphone and ipad is not using wifi it will not work
if they are then try restarting your wifi router

How can I get rid of negative numbers that is showing as my wifi icon

My iphone 4 is jail broken . randomly now my wifi icon is showing negative numbers

This may not have been done by jailbreaking, you can also do this from field mode which is perfectly legit from Apple's point of view.
Dial *3001#12345#*
1. Your iPhone is now in the Field Test mode. Do you see a signal strength value on the upper left hand corner? You can still switch to the old strength bars instead of the number value, by taping on it. You can revert to the bars any time by closing the app by pressing the home button. If you want to have the number indicator permanently (which is again reversible to bars), proceed to step 2.
2. Hold on to the power button until you see the bar that says ‘slide to power off’. Here, do NOT power off your iPhone.
3. Now press the home button again until the app is exited and you’re on to the home screen.
4. To revert to the original signal strength representation, dial *3001#12345#* and press ‘Call’ to enter the field test mode again. Then press the home button once.

Its seems to be the harware.

Hello raphaelitajuba,
The article linked below provides information regarding this indicator and steps that can help restore functionality to your MacBook Pro's Wi-Fi.
