WiFi issues with iPhone 4S & ios 6 update

Okay here is my issue...
I've been reading alot of issues that people have with connecting to WiFi with their new iPhone 5, iPhone 4S or other devices but I have no trouble connecting to WiFi at all. My problem is that WiFi wont 'work'. The WiFi I'm hooked up to at home doesn't let me do basically anything that requires internet.
I can get on the Facebook app fine and my newsfeed loads but I can't see Facebook notifications, upload photos or videos, read inboxes, look at photos, its very slow etc.
I can't get into the App Store or iTunes at all. It says it 'Cannot Connect to iTunes Store' when I try.
I can't upload photos onto Instagram
Currently I'm into the Simpsons Tapped Out game and I can't go onto it at all.
And there are a few other minor issues I am having.
All these things I can do with my Telstra 3G network however and it ***** because I want to use and do all these things but I have to use my 3G and I've just recently gone over my data monthly usage and been charged extra which I'm not happy about.
So is anyone else having these issues or is it just me and I'm stuffed? I'd REALLY love some help.
I've been lost with what to do because as some are having WiFi issues as well, mine isnt the same and it's hard to find answers or just other discussions.
Please Help!
Thankyou.

I am having the same issue since updating to iOS 6. It has been noticeable on my iPhone 4S and a little less noticeable on my iPad 3 but I think it is happening on the iPad too. Very annoying problem. One way to get it to work better is to re-boot your phone. It will work for awhile then and then eventually not be working anymore and you will need to re-boot again.
Just to be clear with everyone - the iPhone looks like it is connected to the wireless, it gets an IP address but can't transmit any data. Device: iPhone 4S, OS: iOS6

Any issues with latest 2014 ios update & Straight Talk

Hi, I've been with straight talk for about 2 weeks without any problem - switching --porting--pics.....all went well . Now my phone ( iPhone 3c) shows iOS update waiting..
Due to all I have read here & there,I'm a bit uneasy to do the update. Has anyone had any issues with lates t2014 ios update using ST? Will it affect the working of the phone if I don't do update? Thanks for any input.

Hi, Glad that worked for you. I don't know why this is happening other than to offer an opinion. This hardware acceleration was causing an issue with the previous version of FP also. I think that this technology is ready but the websites are not, youtube included.
The same thing happened with Flash Player for the mobile phones, Android in particular. Adobe was ready but had to wait on Google to catch up. So the users thot Adobe was at fault, but that wasn't the case. Google had to update and that was done with their 2.2 update. This is not an opinion however. I followed this because users were coming here asking why Flash Player wasn't available for their Android:-)
Adobe/Microsoft/Mac/Linux are all involved and if one advances a particular technology that effects the others, then each one must make a change for that technology to work. At least that's how I see it.
Thanks for marking your thread as answered

Wifi issues with iPhone 4s/iOS7

The wifi on my iPhone 4s is not working properly. It will connect to the wifi network (full strength), but when going to a website the "progress" bar will load about 10% and then just freeze. Websites, Twitter, Facebook, none of them will load over wifi. And because it shows that it's connected to a wifi network, it won't access the cellular data to complete the download. I've tried powering off/on the phone, airplane mode, bluetooth on/off, wifi on/off, and I've successfully connected the phone to two separate networks (one at work and one at home), but cannot get any wifi data. Both networks are functional, confirmed via Kindle FIre and laptop, so unless I'm dealing with two separate routers that all of a sudden decided to block iPhone access, there's something wrong with my iPhone. I did the iOS7 upgrade when it went live, so it's not a new update (currently on iOS 7.0.4). Anybody else run into an issue like this? Any thoughts out there? Thanks in advance.

Touch ID issue with iPhone 5S iOS 8/8.0.2

Hello,
After updating my iPhone 5S to iOS 8 I have been experiencing Touch ID problems where it does not recognize my finger and says "try again" even after 3 tries. This never happened to me in the iOS 7 its almost always instant and always correct in the Touch ID. Infact I had been bragging about it to all my mates here as to how the Apple build quality is in regard to their flagship phones. I have updated to the iOS 8.0.2 today and again experiencing the same issues with the Touch ID and now it was so annoying I removed all my finger prints off the phone and tried again by placing my fingers on the Touch ID button to register my prints. Even after successfully registering Im experiencing the same problems again. I have disabled Touch ID for the time being and using the conventional pass code method to unlock my phone. Hopping to hear from you guys.
Cheers,
M.
iPhone 5S - 16GB
iOS 8.0.2
P.S - I did a complete update from iTunes for both iOS 8 and iOS 8.0.2 downloading the entire OS both times to install them and did not do it from the phone.

My wife has a problem with touch ID even before iOS 8 was released. Our theory is its because she works in medical office she is frequently washing her hands which causes dry skin. To combat the dryness she has to use lotion to moisturize her hands. I think it's the combination of dry hands and lotion that is causing the problems. On the same phone I never have a problem with touch ID nor do I have a problem with dry hands so it would seem the problem is not with the phone itself but the texture of her fingerprints combined with the use of lotions. It's not that her fingerprints change but the minute cracks that develop, heal, and reoccur thus the fingerprint reader is picking up those subtle changes. What the solution is I don't know although it does seem to get worse as the air gets dryer. That maybe of no help to you whatsoever but something to consider.

My Top Issues with iPhone 6 + iOS 8.0.2

I'm having a bevy of issues with my new iPhone 6 and iOS 8.0.2... I thought I'd put some of these out to stud, as those smarter than I have found resolves for... I'd love to enjoy this device, but some of the issues are completely off-putting. They are as follows:
1. Email is setup to push, however when it is read on the computer, the notification no longer disappears from the lock screen until the phone is unlocked. Prior to upgrading, the notifications would immediately disappear when the emails were opened on the desktop. There seemed to be perfect sync between the mobile device and email interface.
2. The lingering notification "1" on top of the Settings icon. Not sure how to get rid of it, but combed through and don't have any outstanding updates or backups.
3. Certain applications arbitrarly lag or freeze (i.e. Facebook, Mail, etc...). Applications either shut-down or restart. Happens less frequently, but more so than previous device/iOS.
4. Text message and email searches don't work. If I type in the name of a contact in Messaging, unless it's a very recent contact - it doesn't populate with results. Same is roughly the case for email.
Any ideas on the above? Thanks guys.

The transference of software between devices can come with problems. The only way to overcome those issues is troubleshooting. I'm sorry it is too much of a hassle to ensure your device is in proper working order. It is far less of a hassle then dealing with problems and complaining about them. Good luck with your device.

Issue with Iphone 6 iOS 8.1.1 - Bluetooth Connectivity

Bluetooth connection in Honda CRV continously drops and is not consistent.
Any resolution to fix this issue?

I have the same issue with my iPhone 6 & 2012 Civic. Prior to iOS 8.1.1 the bluetooth always worked flawlessly, even with my iPhone 3G and 4S. Worked fine with my iPhone 6 until the 8.1.1 update. Removing and re-establishing the connection has not helped.
Apple, please please please:
Issue a patch ASAP fixing this and other bluetooth issues. This issue IS IMPACTING MY BUSINESS. I rely on the bluetooth capability of my iPhone to conduct business while in the car during my ~120min of commuting each day.
Provide the ability to roll-back to a previous version after an update. I understand the desire to tout the adoption rates of new iOS releases. But that is sure to begin declining as more people upgrade only to encounter issues that did not exist previously.
Thank you.

Wifi issues with iphone not responding

Phone: iPhone 4s.
This issue started approximately two weeks ago. My phone initially started with the Wifi connection greyed out, I followed the appropriate steps to resolve this issue, and was successful. Now I can turn the wifi connection on without problems, but my iPhone will freeze (delay), then return me to my homescreen. Occasionally I do automatically connect to my known wifi, but then will disconnect and return to 3G. If I make an attempt to go to settings to manually reconnect, the phone again freezes. The phone seems to freeze after I click settings, then when pressing Wi-Fi, the bar turns dark bold, but freezes and doesn't open. I then have to click my home button, return to the main menu. Also if I open an app during the seldom opportunity my phone is connected to wifi, the phone will disconnect, return to 3G and freeze. I have rebooted my routers, forgot networks, reset network settings. I have thought about resetting the entire phone, but my phone will not stay connected to wifi long enough for me to back up my data to iCloud. I am thinking of stopping into my local verizon store, but I think they will redirect me to an apple store; which is 35 miles away. Of course the problem with me not connecting to Wi-Fi is my increased use of data. Now I am over 75% for my monthly usage with 2 weeks remaining, and do not see justification in possibly having to pay the overage fee. Many times when my phone freezes due to these wifi issues, or will not respond, I have to do the manual power/home reset. In conclusion, I need to figure out how to maintain my connection to Wi-fi, and stop my phone from not responding when I open my wifi settings. Thanks in advance!

My Iphone 4S is doing the same thing.. All of a sudden the WIFI button is gray and not working. I chatted online with a Rep. He had me call *228 and hit option 1, then call again and hit option 2. All of a sudden the WIFI button was black. But it could not find any network. I shut it off and restarted it and now button gray again. I called that number again and still gray. I read somewhere else that a lot of people have a problem with the WIFI button. They say it basically just stops working. This was a replacement phone because the volume stopped working on my original phone. I assume they gave me a refurbished one because it didn't seem new. I'm due an upgrade in 3 months. I'm disabled and just hate driving to the store again. I wish there was an easier way.

Issue with iphone 4 to update IO S 4.1

I just got the new iphone over the weekend and since there I cannot update the new OSI 4.1 update for my phone, I try everything listed on apple site and I only get this warning "this iphone cannot be updated at this time because the iphone software update could not be contacted or temporary unavailable", I try in different networks beside mine and still this warning keep it coming, is anyone with the same issue?

I'm having the same issue. Alot of you claim to "know" about Apple and there software/products. Where's the help here? This post has been up for quite a few days now. Where the **** is Apple's support team on this? Or is it fAilpple?

Ios 7 wifi issues with iphone 5 and iphone 4s

I downloaded and installed ios 7 on 3 iphones and an ipad on Thursday. initially after install all devices wouldn't connect to my homes wifi (but other devices in the home are connected and can access the internet with no issue) I rebooted each device and was able to connect problem soved. WRONG this has been an on going issue, most of the time my devices wont even see my wifi network and when they do, I still can't connect. I have reset wifi settings, I have double checked passwords, I have rebooted the IOS devices and rebooted the router (which was likely not needed as my 2 apple tv's, windows 7 laptop, windows 8 laptop and 2 imacs all are connected with no problem as wel as my ps3, and sony smart tv.
So, 1) is anyone else experiencing this issue 2) have you found a way to resolve the issue 3) has anyone gotten a response from apple support i.e. is this s known issue and are they working on an update to resolve.
I guess my gut instinct to wait a few weeks to install ios was right and I should have listened to my gut
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

I agree, Bluetooth is rubbish since 4.2 The phone won't connect properly with my carkit Parrot ck3000 evolution, when the iPhone 4 connects to the the carkit it resets the volume on the carkit to minimum volume. so every time you get in the car you have to manually set the volume!. fix this Apple and when your at it fix the wifi reception on it too its woeful! For all the mouthing Apple does on their features on the phone, it's pretty weak as a phone!

IOS 6.1.2 WIFI Issue with Iphone 4s

SInce I updated my phone to ios 6.1.2 my wifi gets dropped or the button itself gets greyed out. I dont know what to do. Shuld wait for ios 6.1.3 or what?
This is the first time i am facing such an issue. Apple customer care is also not able to solve the issue? Why every now and then this happens with apple device ?
Does apple takes its users for granted by releasing its software without having proper checks?
However it is quite surprising to know that my Ipad 4th Generation is working fine with 6.1.2. software.
Please help if anyone knows the solution.

Go to settings, reset, reset network settings. As the other suggestion said.
If its greyed out here is a link below.

Airport Express WiFi issues after Yosemite and iOS update

Since the most recent software updates for OSX and iOS my WiFi has been acting up. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I've noticed that Safari does not work most of the time, yet I can open Chrome (on either Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, or iPhone 6) and the website I was trying to access in Safari will open instantaneously. I just recently upgrade my Xfinity internet from the Performance package (25 mbps) to the Extreme package (105 mbps) and thought these issues were related to the upgrade, but we also have a Windows 8.1 hardwired and it streams consistently. I have seen a few other posts related to this issue, but have yet to find a resolution.

Wifi Issue With iPhone 4

I have 2 iPhone 4's (one for work one for personal use) and both are having the same issue. Neither one will connect to my home wifi. They used to both be connected with no problems and then within the last week or so I noticed that they weren't connected. When I go in and choose my wifi, I get an error saying unable to connect. I have tried re-setting my phone, restarting the router, re-setting the network, nothing works. I did the latest update (7.1) and my wii worked or maybe 5 minutes and then turned off again. Please help! I use my work phone all day and I need to access my wifi.

Can other devices connect? Check this first to determine if the problem is with the signal, not the phones.
Next check the phones with another wi-fi (i.e. the café down te street).
Let us know what the outcome is.

Poor WiFi connection with iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2)

Hello,
I am regularly testing my internet download speed on my iPhone using Ookla's app 'Speed Test'. It used to be up to 8-17 Mbps. But since a few months it only runs on about 1-2 Mbps!?
I did not change my provider nor did my provider decrease the rate. The rate tested from my MacBook Pro is 32 Mbps.
Since I use a MacBook Pro (10/2008), another MacBook Pro (8/2006), an Apple TV and an iPhone 4 I have to set my AirPort Extreme to 802.11n (b/g compatible). I set teh channel manually to 12 since the Apple TV could not deal with automatic channel selection?! The Apple TV's connection speed is also very poor.
So does anyone have tips how I can improve the WiFi connection speed for my iPhone and Apple TV?
Thanks & best regards,
Manfred

Use the advice in this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that each device sees:

IPhone 4 IOS update on home wifi never successfully completes.

I've never been able to successfully update my iPhone 4 on my home network since I first purchased it a couple of years back. I've asked at the Genius Bar on previous occasions but was offered no solution, was merely explained that there might a wifi issue. When I try update my iPhone goes into update screen with apple logo on top and a completion bar at the bottom. The completion gets to about 75% complete then that's it it doesn't go any further. Then I'm left without a useful phone cannot make phone calls cannot look up contacts cannot call apple for support ! Then the only option is to go into apple store to update on their computers. I've had to do this several times since I first purchased the phone, and was left with well, many questions, the main one being why ? Why does the process complete on apple store wifi but not at home ?
Quite unhelpful that I've never been offered an answer, hence I've never upgraded my iPhone to a new one.
It's very inconvenient as the first time it happened I was left without my only form of contact, I didn't have any phone numbers, and didn't have the time to fiddle around with phone updates, I merely tried updating as I thought it was a simple quick process. Instead it turned out to be. Very time consuming. A it must be to read this account of my experiences with my first iPhone, so ill end it here !
Would be nice to finally be offered a solution. It certainly would be more convenient as I don't update my iPhone 4 at because I know from past experience ill be left without a phone.
BTW a interesting interesting thing happened the other day, I did a backup of my phone, and by chance went into the broadway apple store and she I later walked out notice my iPhone had lost all contacts and apps and notes were not there it was like it got cleaned out!
It was ok before going into the apple store. Any ideas ?
Thanks guys

4. If I do clean my phone to recover space with itunes, or a restore will the IOS update I don't want be forced on me?
1. The only way to remove it is to install it.
2. No, because the only way to remove it is install.
3. The only way to recover the space is to install it.
4. If you restore, it will install the latest iOS, 7.0.4.
