Q: iOS 8 Wi-Fi problems

I completely agree with you. However, temporary fixes can be used until Apple releases a firmware update to address the issues.

Although, i have read the fixes dont include Wifi issues.

lets hope they add to the current list of fixes.

Information from jailbreaknation

Leaked details on iOS 8.0.1

- Phone: Addresses bugs with call forwarding and freezing when accessing visual voicemail
- Keyboard: Fixes an issue with keypad not appearing to enter iCloud Keychain verification codes
- Safari: Fixes a problem with videos occasionally not playing
- Sharing: Fixes AirDrop support for Passbook passes
- VPN: Addresses an issue with installing VPN profiles

IIts strange that only some people experience problems.

is anyone else here in the UK unable to upload photos?

It could take MONTHS!?

thats no good i need to upload photos Now

this is terrible. Honestly I've been in tears over this!

i loved my iPad. I've not been a day without it in the 2 years since I've had it & never had 1 problem until now. I was going to get an iPhone & Apple tv  to go with it eventually. But now, i don't think I'd ever buy Apple again.

i Can't believe they released this update with such bad problems & without any warnings.

being Unable to upload photos is a Major issue.

does does anyone know why it can affect some people & not others?

MMay I ask if anyone here knows the way to  re installing ios7.12?

i've read it can be risky but I'm desperate, I need to upload photos & can't wait months

AAlso I Apple dont mention the upload photo issue in that statement.

DDoes anyone know if I can put back iOS7.12?

also i have 'find my ipad' on it, does that mean i cant downgrade?

My workarounds are only slightly magic incantations: They have worked consistently for 4 or 5 days. With the channel issue at 5GHz, I tested it by switching back to auto - problem back - then back to fixed channel 44 - works OK.

1. Force the iPad to connect via 2.4GHz, by setting up a new SSID on the router and linking to that;

2. When linking to 5GHz set the router to (in my case)  channel 44 (it was on 'auto' and using channel 48)

But then I suppose we all have different routers etc.

iPad Air, WiFi only

IIn reply to 'lost the plot's comment about going in store. i can't believe how Apple tried to fob you off. I've never had need to go in store, never had a problem with Apple, I loved them & couldn't understand why many people didn't. But after this update and Apples behaviour over it, I'm now off them for life. I can't see me evr buying Apple again

Re: reinstalling iOS 7.1.2, if you go back through this thread, there are several references as to how to do it.  Take a look.

HHi, I'm pretty pc illiterate. Can anyone explain to me, (simply:)) why some people are having problems and others are not?

I Agree with Phillip. Apple could at least acknowledge the problem. How can they just desert us and remain silent. It's disgraceful. I'd just like to know what's going on!

TThank you Jorjitop, I'll have a look through, there's just so much of it to read! Lol

i read it can't be done if you have 'find my iPad' and updated iCloud..I have both

i also read conflicting opinions on whether I should try to downgrade. for some people its not worked or they've lost data others say it works fine. I'm worried it could make things worse if I try. Ok, it's not much use to me as it is but I don't want to bugger up the iPad completely.

I just can't believe the number of arrogant a holes who just tell you to reinstall 7.1.2 without giving further help. It's a bit like saying 'all you have to do is the fix the problem'

Yeh, right.

So here is a link I hope some of you find useful.

I followed the steps and downloaded

iPad2,3_7.1.2_11D257_Restore.ipsw

onto my Mac

Opened iTunes with my iPad plugged in, held down ALT and hit restore. This opened my Downloads folder. I clicked on the restore file above .... and got a message saying something about the file not being recognised.

Oh well

So, try it if you want. I know VERY little about computers but several other sites suggested the same thing.

No harm done, I deleted the file from downloads and still have an iPad2 with really poor wifi plus other concerns.

Hope this is helpful.

DNS forced to 8.8.8.8

Privacy - Location Services - System Services  - WiFi Networking Disabled

Now are 8h of radio streaming seamless

This seems to be the temporary solution.

Have a great day, or night  

And here's another link with video, I'm just going to try it. I'll get back later.
