iPhone Problem Forum
 

I'll start !!

My iPhone 3G today just stopped seeing any wireless networks: mine or my neighbour's.

The iPhone forums are full of similar stories, so this looks like a common problem, but no foolproof one-for-all solution comes to the fore ?!?!

I have gone to settings, general, reset, and reset the network settings, but that hasn't helped. I can't tell it to forget the network, as it can't even SEE it. I tried a soft boot, I tried a hard boot, I tried a Doc Martin Boot (OK not really) but nothing seems to work. I turned the Plane Mode on and off again, I turned Wireless on and off again. I pulled a little tiny bit of my [rapidly greying] hair out again. Just a little. And only the grey ones.

My iTunes has just informed me that there is a software update from 3.0 to 3.0.1 I am now downloading and installing this.

Fingers crossed, kiddies !!! I NEED my wireless access. Several apps won't even wake up without it. And I'd have to tweet from my Laptop !! :rolleyes:

*Frustrated Bear*


Edited To Add: Oh GOD !!! It won't install the new software without backing the whole phone up even though I synced the phone just before downloading the latest software - Backup takes Mega-Hours for some reason. I give up. I'm going to bed (without an alarm clock cos I use my phone now and got rid of the old one)

This is so timely for me. I almost succombed to buying one yesterday.

I will be watching this thread with great interest.

The latest update is to counteract the SMS attack vulnerability. Sorry you're having issues with wifi. That does sound very strange and frustrating. Have you tried to restore it using the Restore feature in iTunes?

Backup and restore. I've never had this problem - or any problem with my phone, but I don't use WiFi much.

Try reversing the polarity.

Just be sure to NOT cross the streams. That would be bad.

Spray some Windex on it.
:D

I had some trouble loading the software update from my PC laptop. But when I did it from my Mac work computer it was fine. Other than that, I haven't had many issues with my iPhone.

I have an iphone question. I don't have one but a co-worker does. We just put wifi in the office so he can use it but it's password protected. So I need to do something in his phone so he can use the wifi right? I don't have an iphone so no idea how the wifi works.

He'll just need to enter the password on his iPhone to connect to the network.

That's what I thought - thank you. Of course he'll have no idea how to do this so I'll have to figure it out.
