Hi Ohap,

I have tried this method yesterday and it worked. Yes, it worked but only for 10 minutes until the problem occured again. I dont know why some people can hold their wifi for a long time eg weeks or even months with this method.

Anyway, after trying the freezer thing and didnt get the result i wanted, i went to a local repair shop since my phone is out of warranty, i was told it had been the wifi chip that caused the problem so they did a thing called reflow... something and my phone is fixed !
So for the people who tried all the software methods and is still upset, i recommend replacing with a new phone by Apple if your phone is under 2 years and repair the hardware if it is over 2 years 😀
