Wifi problem is no grey area!

Like many other customers I have encountered the wifi grey out on the iphone 4S having visited the Glasgow store today they tried the factory reset, this did not resolve the problem, they did offer to sort it fully for £130 the charge applicable as my handset is 14 months old, 2 months out of warranty! I raised the fact the problem was due to a software issue that Apple knew about and had known for some time, that the problem IS affecting handsets which are NEW as well as the ripe old age of 14 months, whilst they accepted that and the fact there was no fix available to out of warranty customers there was nothing they could do,their hands were tied by Apple policy!
Now Im astonished by this, Apple selling a piece of equipment which they fully expect to fail at some point but will not release a fix for it? What kind of organisation is this? Where is the customer care or appreciation?
Furthermore does the fact they know of the issue, refuse to deal with the issue, but continue to sell the product not just little bit naughty?

Same problem here (with a Mac Mini 2009 model with the same nvidia chip as your aluminum MacBook) and a LG L204WT 20" monitor. Although on my LG monitor, if I reduce the sharpness setting one step (from 5 to 4), the flickering completely stops. This does make the display slightly fuzzier, but it feels better to my eyes than the flickering. Can you test this on your monitor also, and tell me if it helps?

    Nah... there simply is not iOS 6 Wi-Fi problem with the 4S.  I have not experienced any issues and neither has anyone else I know with iPhones.
    User's like yourself really should drop the attitude and try some basic troubleshooting.

  • Display problem - brightness and grey area

    My 24" iMAC has been suffering with a grey section (middle vertical third of screen) on start-up. This lasts for 5-10 minutes, after which time the middle section resumes its normal brightness. Recently, I've noticed another problem and that is there is very little difference on the screen between the brightness at its lowest level and when it is at its highest. What has happened?

  • IOS 7 and the 'greyed out' WiFi problem

    Hi,
    Looking for any solutions to this:
    I upgraded to iOS 7 with no problems initially
    After about 24-36 hrs I noticed I could no longer access websites via the WiFi connection, so I restarted the phone (a 4S on the Bell Canada network).
    Since then, the WiFi slider has been greyed out and I can't access WiFi networks - with the exception of about an hour or two coincidentally around the time of the 7.0.2 release.
    The WiFi button on the control centre appears to work, but of course doesn't actually function as designed.
    So far I've tried the following:
    Power on & off
    Reset the phone (home & power buttons until Apple logo shows)
    Reset network settings
    Various versions of having the phone in or not-in airplane mode while doing the above
    Renaming the phone without appostrophies.
    Reinstalling iTunes & re sync
    Upgrading to 7.0.2
    Completely wiping the phone and reinstalling everything  from iTunes (painful, I know)
    Going into the store that sold me the phone (I won't say here, but they weren't very nice about Apple)
    None of the above have worked.
    Some reading suggests it could be the phone's chipset, but I'd argue that as it's connected to WiFi just fine a couple if times.
    The only idea I've read and not yet got round to trying involves freezing the handset.
    Anyone else with any other ideas?
    Thanks!

    Tony,
    I've been reading up on this 4S wifi greyed out topic for the past several days too. I have a 5 and I don't have the wifi greyed out problem (knock on wood).
    There's been quite a huge volume of discussion on this issue, with some people suggesting that there is a hardware defect, while others finding it just too coincidental that so many people would have this same problem on the same occassion, ie upgrade to iOS7 or 7.0.1 or 7.0.2.
    The strangest thing about this: there's a user, carolinelewis, who is on her second new replacement 4S from Apple but they still show wifi greyed out after a while!
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4638071?start=300&tstart=0
    (page 21 of the thread).
    Some people swear by the freezer method, some say the hot dryer method worked for them. Some say using either methods would get it fixed, some say the problem returns after some days.
    My thoughts is that both freezer and hot dryer methods are actually taking the phone out of its operational temperature range.
    Environmental requirements of 4S:
    Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
    Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
    This action may have cause the 4S to do a complete initialization when returned to normal temperature, but these 2 methods appear to be last ditch efforts.
    What I'd favor is power cycling the 4S, which can be achieved by running it completely out of battery, as shown in this Youtube video: http://youtu.be/o_ws5srnVVM
    then plug in power and just may work for you.
    I've also come across this person's workaround: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzb5LNB9nIA
    which may work for the 4S on iOS7 (it was posted for iOS6).
    The steps this gentleman proposed appears to be worth a try. His strategy is to put the iphone into airplane mode, then do a hard reset.
    Now, I have had my Thinkpad (Windows7) laptop's wifi freeze up akin to the behavior of 4S on iOS, ie can't turn on wifi radio via software, just simply refuses to see SSID of wifi router, won't join, etc. I've always been able to get things back to normal by power cycling the laptop. In some freak instances, even shutdown won't work, I would pull the battery out of the laptop to get eveything back to normal.
    So my thoughts on this 4S wifi button grey out is that there is something in the iOS7 upgrade process that caused the wifi circuitry to freeze up and need a complete restart from powered down state.
    The fact that the iphone doesn't have an easily removed battery makes it harder, and I suspect the freezer and dryer technics are an indirect way of acheiving total power off (battery not supplying power due to extreme high or low temperatures).
    Furthermore, I've read that some people fixed their wifi greyed out problem by deleting older apps that may not be fully compatible with iOS7 and thus locking it up. Well, if that were true, then it may explain why the problem returns for some people. We won't know who upgraded which app.
    And of course, there are instances where the wifi hardware that happen to be in a marginal state. Kind of like a PC working fine, installing updates, then stalling on reboot because the boot sector failed or some driver got stuck during initialization stage. This may explain why for some people the 4S had been working just fine but got broken wifi after the upgrade.
    Best of luck to you in your efforts to get this problem fixed.

  • If I install Yosemite and find that the wifi problems are too bad, can I go back to Mountain Lion?

    Almost everything I do on my MacBookPro requires a steady wifi connection. I have been reading all the horror stories about the wifi problems with Yosemite. I would like to install Yosemite, but would like to be able to go back to Mountain Lion if the problems are as extreme as I have been hearing.
    Details: My Mac is 3 years old (Apple Care ran out 2 days ago!). I recently upgraded from 4GB of ram to 16GB.
    Router is a Linksys E4200.
    I have an Iphone-4s
    My husband has an older MacBook running Lion.
    I connect to an Epson Artisan 835 with wifi via my router
    We have no need to have the Apple devices communicate with each other.
    I am currently running an appliance in Virtual Box. One reason I want to move to Yosemite is to be able to run it in VMware Fusion instead.
    Thanks.

    Hi there CarylLynne,
    If you upgrade to Yosemite, you should be able to use the following article to revert to the previously installed OS using Time Machine, named:
    OS X Yosemite: Revert to a previous OS X version
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • TS1559 WIFI solutions proposed by Apple are not working. Does oneone how to solve the WIFI problems?

    Dear Apple.
    I was really happy with my iphone4s, IOS 6.0, great product amazing quality and posibilities BUT.......
    I updated from IOS 6.0 to 6.1.1. and the WIFI nightmare started.
    I waited for a new update to fix the WIFI problems and I updated my iphone 4s from 6.1.1. to 6.1.2. in order to solve these problems related with WIFI connections.
    But IOS 6.1.2. is even worst:
    - WIFI is not working at all. So I cannot download apps greater than 50MB.
    - Battery life is shorter than ever.
    - 3G goes in and out every minute.
    - When you operate the iphone4s you can realize that is hotter than before.
    These problems are unnaceptable and inconsistent with a high quality standard product.
    You can read a lot of blogs, I am not the only one.
    Please give us a solution as soon as possible.
    Best Regards

    Thank you for your support.
    My router is a TL-WR740N, and I think it has only a 2.4-2.4835GHz antenna.
    So it seems that I have to keep on trying.
    I also tryed to rename the router, still nothing.
    Thank you anyway.

  • Strange wifi problem on a brand-new MacBook Pro

    Hey there, I'm new here. Desperation has got the better of me, and I hope I can get some advice.
    So, last sunday I bought a brand new 13" MacBookPro with 2.8g i7 processor and 10.7.2 OS (I can't update to 10.7.4 because System Update tells me the download has been tampered with or corrupted after I waited 2 hours for it to finish, but I'm trying a direct download from the website). Here's the exact product: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MD314LL-13-3-Inch-VERSION/dp/B005CWIZ4O/ref= sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1340301247&sr=8-5&keywords=macbook+pro+13
    Everything is all perfect except for a strange wifi problem. Note that the wifi does not turn-on or off, it doesn't disconnect after 'sleep', it doesn't get less speed, it doesn't constantly leave a preferred connection (once I chose my home wifi it always connects to it no problem). The wifi bar is always full. What is wrong is that the internet is kinda 'glitchy'. The best metaphor I can think of is that it's like a car that has to be pushed down the road before the engine can start. Please, bear with me because this is kinda hard to explain and I'm not good at tech lingos.
    One of the symptoms is browsing can get really slow and inconsistent, almost as if the wifi gets turned off in the middle of browsing. For example: if I look something up on Google and then open 5 new tabs, probably only 2 or 3 of those tabs will eventually load while the other two will not get past the long 'http:.......google.....etc etc' address and will eventually show one of those 'error loading page because there's no Internet connection' notice. This happens a lot. Sometimes I have to refresh/retry loading a page a couple of times before it finally loads, then usually everything will get back to normal and I will be able to open multiple tabs with no problem, but in a couple of minutes I would try to open another site and the problem will start again.
    So I tried to see how it does with downloading using iGetter. Fortunately I also have a Macbook (white-plastic casing one) and my brother has an old 2006 MacbookPro so I can compare. With those two older Apples iGetter starts receiving data in less than 8 seconds after I click Start, while my brand-new Macbook Pro can take up to 15-20 seconds, sometimes it doesn't even start at all and I have to re-click the start button. But once the download actually starts (on my new MacBook Pro), it downloads like normal, it doesn't stop and the speed is also as good as I can get. Strange huh? Hence, like a car that has to be pushed before the engine starts.
    I also tried 'speed testing' from a website with all 3 laptops. On my old MacBook and my brother's MacBook pro, once I click 'begin test' it takes only a couple of seconds of 'ping' before the download/upload speed measurements start, but with my new MacBook Pro (just like with iGetter) it takes up to almost a minute before the measurements start, sometimes it won't start at all and I have to re-start the test.
    Well, thanks for reading. And hope you can help me shed some light into this. Because it is really preventing me from really enjoying my new MacBook Pro. And if this is most likely a hardware problem, I'd better get back to the store and try to get it replace or something while it's only been 5 days. *cheers*

    Hey guys.. Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, I bought the MacBook in Indonesia where there are no such thing as an AppleCare. The only option is to leave the Apple product to one of the 'Authorized Apple care centre' and have whoever do whatever to it without guarantee of success. As for returning it and getting a brand new one, I also don't know if there is such a deal here, but that's actually a good idea, will try to go to the store tomorrow. Although, I'm worried that the problem might be with OSX Lion or something and getting a new one won't help.
    mark75090, I've tried resetting the router when I first noticed te problem, didn't work though. I've checked my new MacBook's wi-fi (option+click wifi bar) and it says 'PHY Mode: 802.11g', so does my MacBook and the old MacBook Pro. I don't know what those mean though, and I don't know whether or not my router is an N., can you tell me more please.. I have tried with the other two turned off, and only the new MacBook using the wi-fi but the problem persists. I have also tried connecting directly to the router, but as I described, the problem is too subtle for me to notice the difference.
    Also, if I create a brand new Wi-Fi connection in network preferences and connect to my router through the new Wi-Fi profile, the problem seems to be gone for an hour or so, then it always comes back though. I have also just finally installed 10.7.4, but it doesn't help either.

  • Wifi problems still exists?

    I sold my gs60 that had an 870m back in january mainly because i couldnt bare the wifi problem. I really loved the laptop and everything about it but everytime my laptop overheated the wifi would drop from 100mb to 1mb or less at times, monday im thinking of buying a new msi laptop and im wondering if these models that are currently being sold on amazon and etc still have the wifi problem or has it been fixed?
    And trust me, i read the forums, i read the guides and im pretty decent with computers/software and etc, i uninstalled, reinstalled, updated it, changes adv. settings and even though it improves certain things the problem was still there. So does it still exist?
    Or should i just buy a USB wifi?

    This problem only occurs in earlier patches of Intel WiFi card of GS60 2Px (8xx series of NVIDIA graphic cards) and not every unit was affected.
    If you don't want to take this risk, I'll suggest you buy GS60 2Qx (9xx series of NVIDIA graphic cards).
    USB WiFi is a good idea. It certainly has a better signal comparing to the WiFi embedded in the body of the laptop.

  • Macbook pro 15 inch wifi problem (late 2011)

    Hello,
    Here I write a little desperate with this problem that I have on the MacBook Pro (late 2011) with WIFI .
    For several months ago, when I power on the MBP is all apparently normal , spend a few minutes and I lose the WIFI , the icon still comes out as "connected " but no WIRELESS signal , I turned off the WIFI, but, when I try to change back to turn ON, the icon of WIFI still OFF ( the inverted triangle ) . Restarting the MBP and still the problem no signal and appears as disabled , delete PRAM several times until finally everything works again , spend some time and again the same thing sometimes is fine for several hours, go out to eat and return and again the same thing, the worst was when I saw the message "Hardware not found" and "X " where the icon goes WIFI . I rebooted several times and not managed , this was the "hardware not found" message. Some time ago I went something like , when Lion had and read that resetting the PRAM and managed , never came out , but now even that it manages , and it is becoming more common , I thought it was the OS ( MacOSX Mavericks ) so I reinstalled (I'm not used Time Machine, I install all again ), this work the lasted several days without fail, until she passed again, I'm out of WiFi, when I see no WIFI signal in the list , restart me WIFI goes off and I can not change , restart it goes back to " hardware not found" and so on.
    Now desperate for this, I opened the MBP , disconnected the cables from the Airport card and reconnected with care and making sure you are all well , turned on the MBP again and works!!, I lasted two weeks , then I thought it was that. But again the whole problem again.
    Already investigating more online and I found some details from other users
    1 / Both WIFI and Bluetooth are on the same card ( the q disconnected and reconnected )
    2 / If the card was wrong , losing the WIFI Bluetooth should lose , but I tried Bluetooth and has no problems
    3 / Reported that resetting PRAM or SMC but still, in my case, does not work.
    Now all I have left to rule is the WIFI antenna that is located ( if I remember correctly ) for the bottom of the screen, and according to several users this tends to fail from constant use to close or open the MBP (or either to cover or uncover ) , and sometimes it just heats and heats close to this area .
    Has anyone had a similar problem? My MBP turns 2 only on March 7, 2014 , I can not believe all that cost me and now is about to fail , I have a Sony VAIO Core 2 Duo for about 5 years (or more) ago and is still running and has been dropped many times and nothing has ever happened : (
    Additional data on my MBP ,
    Several months ago ( long before the problem with the WIFI) I changed the hard drive for an SSD ( 250GB Corsair Neutron X ) .
    There is a problem that often makes me too, is that when you close the MBP ( to open ) , and open it back again ( out of sleep) the following happens :
    1 / It instantly freezes when waking from sleep and I have a long wait to enter the password.
    2 / When you leave idle normal let me put the password, but just when giving ENTER freezes
    3 / Out of sleep, let me put the key, ENTER and when I load the desktop freezes
    Another problem :
    This only happened to me a few times , as I mentioned , my MBP is formatted ( have Mavericks ) before formatted (clean install without time machine) , I closed the MBP ( I sent to sleep) and the open the screen was black , but as with bright, and not leave the state, turned off force ( pressing the button) , start the MBP again (power on) charged normal gray screen with apple but with a fairly low brightness, spent a few seconds and turned the brightness to normal and started normally .
    I hope some can help me with these problems.
    PD : I'm from Peru , if anyone knows a trusted service that please let me know .
    Thank you very much .

    Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

  • Wifi problem after.4.3 update on xperia z

    Hi all,
    After updating my Xperia Z (C6603) to build number 10.4.1.B.0.101 I've been having connection issues with every Wi-Fi network.
    I've checked the forum but I only found problems about people having Wi-Fi issues with their smartwatch, I do not own a smart watch this is just a general networking issues.
    Here's the problem in detail:
    When having no Wi-Fi switched on while booting the phone the phone will start without any issues, I will receive my 3G/4G signal and I can browse, e-mail, everything.
    Once I switch on Wi-Fi it will start connecting to previously stored Wi-Fi access points but will not connect. Eventually it says that there was a problem with connecting, even though this will take several minutes.
    I can go into the Wi-Fi settings, select a different Wi-Fi network (if it is in range) and press connect, however the settings app will freeze at that point and eventually I'll get a notification that the settings app has stopped working.
    I have found a "work-around": I switch the Wi-Fi to on, power off the phone and power on again. Now the Wi-Fi connection immediately powers on without an issue once the phone has completely booted, it also will connect to the default Wi-Fi connection that is in range. A different issue appears however once I move out of Wi-Fi range, it will no longer pick up my 3G/4G signal. It is also impossible to switch off Wi-Fi or switch Wi-Fi network connections without rebooting the phone.
    As I said before this happened to me after updating to version 10.4.1.B.0.101 after having it received through OTA update. I do not have root access on my phone either so this can't be it.
    Is there anyone experiencing the same issues? Is this somehow related to the issues people are experiencing with their smart watch connections (as seen in this topic: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/wifi-problem-after-4-3-update-on-xperia-z/td-p/490591...
    If there's anyone who is experiencing the same issues, or has found a fix for this I'd gladly hear from you.

  • Wifi problems with new ipad

    I'm trying to learn how to correct wifi problems with new iPad.  It is the wifi only, 64GB model.  I want to be able to use it at work, where we have a great wifi network.  I can usually connect to our network with no problem, but after an hour or so my iPad loses the network.  When I try to reconnect, I see that the network is showing full strength reception, but I get the error message from the iPad that I am "Unable to join" the network.  My iPhone connects to the same network seamlessly, as do all of the other iPhones of my co-workers and the older generation iPads that some of our staff has.
    At other locations, I typically have no problems (home, apple store, etc.) but I have had the same situation pop up at a coffee shop where I could see that there was a wifi network available, but I could not join it even though it was the shop's free wifi. 
    I have tried turning the iPad off, turning off wifi and turning it back on again, and forgetting the wifi network in question.  I can't think of any other methods that are available to an end user to correct the problem. 
    I have already gone to the Apple store to swap out the unit, and the newer one is having the same symptoms. 
    Can anyone offer any advice here?  This is quite frustrating.

    No problem! Have a read at this most interesting article which has special significance as regards your models!

  • My Ipad doesn't connect to wifi while all other devices are connected.

    My iPad doesn't connect to wifi anymore while all other devices in the same network are connected including iPod.
    iPad was connected this morning, but quit connecting since this afternoon.
    It tries to connect, but everytime connects, it disconnect within a second, and it keep doing the same thing.
    This is the first time ever I see this problem since I started using this iPad.
    What happened to my iPad??

    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 droping 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.

  • Cannot use wifi after updating to 6.1.2 on my iPhone 4S WIFI solutions proposed by Apple are not working

    Dear Apple.
    I was really happy with my iphone4s, IOS 6.0, great product amazing quality and posibilities BUT.......
    I updated from IOS 6.0 to 6.1.1. and the WIFI nightmare started.
    I waited for a new update to fix the WIFI problems and I updated my iphone 4s from 6.1.1. to 6.1.2. in order to solve these problems related with WIFI connections.
    But IOS 6.1.2. is even worst:
    - WIFI is not working at all. So I cannot download apps greater than 50MB.
    - Battery life is shorter than ever.
    - 3G goes in and out every minute.
    - When you operate the iphone4s you can realize that is hotter than before.
    These problems are unnaceptable and inconsistent with a high quality standard product.
    You can read a lot of blogs, I am not the only one.
    Please give us a solution as soon as possible.
    Best Regards

    Try Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if better. If still problem, Restore iPhone with iTunes on your computer. See if better. If still problem, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution.
