My iPhone 5 connects to wifi networks and remembers them, but receives absolutely zero data through the network. LTE and 3G no problem... Off to the repair shop (after 3 hours of ownership...) or any ideas??
iPhone 5, iOS 6
Tylajess
Please reset and use cellular option to
Set up and don't use iTunes or any other
Back up but USE NEW PHONE as your option
For set up !!
Try and see ! Hope it works!
As you are in AUSTRALIA make sure
Your phone is the right way up!!
Lol!
I had great difficulty connecting to my WIFI with the new iPhone 5 and like many I tried every suggested solution with no success. My old iPhone4S had no problems with WIFI nor did my iPad 2 but even though the new iPhone 5 detected my WIFI it refused to connect. I ended up resetting my modem, creating new wireless passwords and finally the iPhone connected. Signal strength has been good, speeds are fine and it automatically reconnected when I got back home after going out for a short while.
Now it could well be an issue if I try to connect onto a friends or family members network, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it came up as "unable to connect" so while the modem reset worked for me at home I'm not sure if it will connect elsewhere and obviously I can't expect that others reset their modems to suit me.
Obviously this is a big issue and the fact that WIFI connection is not an insignificant issue I just wonder how it is that Apple didn't recognise this bug before they released the iPhone 5. I just wonder if Apple are more interested in getting the cash rolling in than they are with quality control. Its not just the WIFI mess, the Maps are a joke.
Apple needs to get its act together and lift their game. Find a fix to the problems and release an update and don't wait until hundreds complain. Better still don't release the product until its working properly.
Also find out if iphone 5 works in any
Other part of Australia and then just move
To where it works ! Afterall iphone is part of our
Lives going by the launch video by Apple
So we have to do all we can lol!!
Top left is showing cellular icon while wifi is turned on and connected. iPhone 5 unresponsive to others wifi (WPA settings), works at home okay with my WEP setting. Connecting to my cousin wifi(Tried changing to WEP, WPA, open, and WPA2) was unsuccessful even though password was entered in correctly. So it got to be firmware related not hardware? It won't matter if I get return and get a new one?
I wonder if anyone who has updated ios6
On other models is having problems?
I have other models but haven't updated to
Ios6 on them and no issues!!
I had issues with iphone 5 which has ios6 but after
Setting up with 3G option and as a NEW PHONE
it's behaving better , now and again switches
To 3G mode but wifi is better !
But if I see a total wifi loss for a long
While again I will ask for a refund
As you have 14 days from purchase to
Return etc but if they give a new one
It will still have same issues surely?
There was a firmware update for my modem which I installed while I was trying to get the IP5 connected but updating the modem firmware did nothing in terms of a solution, it was only when I did a reset of the modem to factory settings did I finally get the IP5 to connect to the WIFI
Hmm..my co worker has a 4s and updated on Wednesday had the wifi loss too but was only very brief. He later concluded that it was because of congestion within the network. I did doubted him that it not that and firmware related.

Watch the video. Downloading Hulu on my i4 nd i5 at the same time. Same wifi, same location. I even started the i5 first on accident. Just wanted to include to corroborate my post earlier. Lets go with the fix or explanation Apple! This makes you look terrible!
I started looking in to this as it took 24hrs to restore my iPhone 5 apps from iCloud. I've tried with fours routers, and experienced the same packet loss issues - for example speedtest gets 6mbps down (full speed for my line) but then can't even test upstream.
Finally I've connected to an old zyxel G router, which works perfectly... It's highly likely this is an encryption AES v TKIP problem, so off to play with settings some more...
It's just a question of hardware or software - return it to store or wait for fix!
Overall I am not a happy cookie!
Was really looking forward to this iphone 5 but its
Still not a patch on my iPhone 3GS ! Pardon the puns! Lol!!
Paid £599 for this from my hard work and saving up so
Upset ! When I get upset I just eat things for no reason
So is it my fault? Lol!
I worked hard at Work to save up to buy this phone
, fair enough I spent a few hours each day
On the Internet at work but in hindsight
I was glad I did because Without wifi
I can't see Internet on this phone anyway lol!!
To be honest I seriously considered a Galaxy 3 but when I considered what I paid for on Apple apps and music and how all that would be wasted I decided on the IP5. I'm not saying I regret it yet but so far its been disappointing.
What annoys me about S3 and S2 is the amoled
Screen , it's too sharp for me no matter on
The brightness and also they have windmills
And pics of flowers and claim everything they do
Is related to nature ??? What? Phones related to
Nature ?? And pebble blue related to pebbles! Whatever
Next lol !
Ok fair enough it has issues but its light and thin lol!
My iPhone 3GS has got smurfs doing jumping jacks would you
Be interested in that ? Lol!
Actually with my fix that I mentioned a few times my wifi is ok still .
Mine too .... fingers crossed. All the same it would have been nice if none of us had to fix anything. Its been a frustrating waste of time. But I live in hope all bugs will be fixed including melting maps and battery power issues.
