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 !!

*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)
