iOS 8.0.2 wifi issue

video streaming worked perfectly wit sam s3 and not with iphone 5s at the same time with same router.

I am running 8.1 and wifi dropps sometime over night on my phone.

Everything was working when was using 7.04. I have other issues that since 7.1 came out, my mail refuses to notify even though mail setting are correct and notifications are on. Not a ding when mail is available. I have to go in manually to see if it is there. I replaced the phone 3 times and every time the same issue.

Apple never accepts that they made an error or that there is an issue. When you call up you are listened to and then told to speak to your service provider.

So problem is with iphone new os 8.1. Hope they allow us to doqngrade to ios7 Which was working perfectly.

APple please release new update with wifi fix before i throw my i phone 5s to the wall.

OOr with next iOS update they should regress the wifi code from its current shambolic state. Why did apple have to diddle with something that worked just fine. They change for sake of change and seem to love creating new bugs. The QA testing with real world usage is non existent. I think they have overtaken MS as the worst offenders for bugs and then not caring to fix them

I was having these same problems too, and I went to Settings, then General, then "Reset" at the bottom of the page, and then "Reset Network Settings". That seemed to do the trick. Hope this helps anybody with the same issue...

BBeen there and done that. Moving on and my carrier is taking back the iPhone. Not worth the stress any more.

NNo it hasn't with8.1

Sorry to hear about that. Hope you get it all figured out soon...

This is actually the first time I've ever posted in these online forums. I have benefitted a lot from these before, and I figured I should try and give back a bit too.

Thanks for the note 🙂

Looking at other threads it sounds like Angry Birds (or more likely) game center could also be causing issues, as well as control center and then also airplay. Unbelievable oversights in QA testing. Is it even worth having betas when you don't listen anyway. Apparently wifi issues were brought up during all the betas but apple just released ahead anyway. iOS8 is a disgrace, the bugs outweight the gain. As far as I can see some worthless health apps (I'm not into all that health monitoring nonsense) versus countless bugs to exisiting functionality. Useless.

FWIW my throughput is all over the place. Slowing on speedtest to a quarter of expected speed and then out of nowhere picking up. It affects apps too where things that work intra network go sluggish, then fast, then sluggish with no ryhme or reason. I suspect airplay is a big factor on mine as I have apple tv and Airport express (used to join my wifi and provide airplay to my hifi). Half the time I will pull up control center and the airplay icon will be very slow to display. Sometimes it'll show only say the apple tv available and take another minute to show the Airport Express or vice versa. Very odd behaviour. The wifi potential is there as when it does work properly it flies along at old iOS7 pace but you just cannot predict what it's going to be like. All this on the iPhone 5S whilst my iPad third gen seems for the most part unaffected. Maybe down to different wifi chipsets in each device or the fact the iPad displays control center differently so maybe the implementation doesn't cause as many problems.

See if your Hotspot is enabled. Disable it if you are not actually using it. I found that it really slows down WiFi speeds on the iPhone when it is enabled, even when no other device is tethered.

deffo Game Center for me causing grief on the 5s. Noticing that if I launch angry birds and then return to main screen and do a speedtest the throughput goes lousy. A quarter of what it should be. If I force quit angry birds the speed is back up at normality. I'd say there is something in Game Center causing this and presence of AirPlay and implementation of control centre may also be at fault. Huh, good this - doing apple engineers and their so called QA testers jobs for them. Useless Apple!

strangely this only affects my 5s whilst my iPad third gen seems to dodge the issue!
