Wi-Fi not working on iOS 8.4

My wife an I both have iPhone-6 units. Both are at IOS 8.4 and both are functioning flawlessly. You should take your phone to an Apple Store and speak with the resident "genius." It's probably best to make an appointment before you go.

Hi, My replacement iPhone is working well and on 8.4. Given you have both WiFi and Bluetooth issues I would start a "chat" session with Apple. They will go over probably everything you have done but at the end of it you will either have something that works or get a replacement. My bluetooth was actually the first to go and that was before the upgrade. After the upgrade I couldn't even see WiFi networks and when my husband hot spotted his phone I couldn't see that either. That's when apple replaced the phone. My iPhone was about 7 mths old so not one of the first. Hope this helps

Well, Straight Talk fixed the cellular problem, but my wifi issues persist. I spoke with Apple over the phone and was referred to the Apple Store which is 2 hours away. I have an appointment this evening, but I'm still trying to decide what to do. Since my phone is out of warranty I may just take it to a store locally that specializes in Apple products.

It's sad though that my wifi issues were brought on by the 8.4 upgrade. If my phone can't be fixed I'll just have to deal with it because I don't have the cash for another iPhone. Not to mention "they" broke it!

Guys, we are in the same bout.

I'm facing the same issue, I already called to AppleCare and it seems that they wanted shoot down old devices to force us to get a newst one. They've lost many custumers, and I'm one of them.

Thanks for letting us know.

Goodbye. It's been a pleasure knowing you.

I have tried all "potential issues", it doesn't solve the problem completely. I have to say, it works in 1-2 hours, then my iPhone (4S)'s wifi disconnects and it isn't able to connect to wifi again. And, my iP goes freeze when i try to reconnect wifi or turn wifi on/off.

So, I try to disable "Find my iPhone" in iCloud (with 3g). This makes my iP can connect to wifi again. Although it still auto disconnect wifi and reconnect, it doens't freeze or cannot connect to wifi anymore.

Hope this helps. I wish Apple would fix these problems .

I downloaded the 8.4 update and soon after I did my wi-fi cuts in and out. I have to go to cellular in settings and click it on and off a couple of times to get my 4G, LTE, 3G back. It is a nuissance and ****** me off that I spent 800+ dollars for a phone that had an update that disables my calling ability.

Is there any recourse for situations where the system upgrade causes certain hardware functions to malfunction or cease entirely? I went to a local store that specializes in Apple products and was told that I was S.O.L.! If you have an iPhone 6 under warranty Apple would replace those units, but everyone else more than likely would have to upgrade to the I6.

Now I see one of the ways Apple has been able to amass $200,000,000,000+ in cash. "I was blind, but now I see."

Hi Robert and Everyone,

There are so many post till now related to wifi issue on iPhone 4s. So are you guys seriously going to fix the issue or we need to stop using apple devices.

I don't see any acknowledgement from apple regarding this issue, they say simply it could be hardware issue take to service centre but my device is out of warranty. Its really frustrating for us to digest if our devices go like this and there is no proper solution. Know once thing its one 70% of user might updated to latest one and 10 % may facing this issue.. if all iPhone 4s users starts updating then its a huge count.

We pay so much bugs to buy apple iPhone, since we trust the apple hardware is so good we go for it. if this is the way you support then definitely we need to think on the other option.

I had been using my device for more than 2yrs, till now i didn't face any issue and i had hope i can continue with my device for another year or two. But this update ruined my interest of buying any iPhone.

I just wanted the root cause, and what is the solution for this. I'm not expecting any new iPhone.. I just wanted an solution.

Thank you.

So far no response from Apple. Perhaps they hope iOS 9 will solve the problem.

Perhaps the IOS has nothing to do with the problem.

after update to 8.4 it worked fine untill now when it started to lose wifi after 3-5 sec, i changed the the router channel fron Auto to 9 and now it ok

@Philly_Phan: Have you posted a political or marketing statement?

I can only explain my situation since the update to 8.4:

Starting the iPhone with a 8.4 recovery, in the first configuration steps, it lists all tested wifi routers with full strength, but the iPhone will not connect and tells me incorrect password for protected wi-fi and connection error for unprotected ones.

Finishing configuration without wi-fi ends with an installation, where my device does not list wi-fi routers any more.

So now you can evaluate what causes the probem, hardware, wi-fi driver or iOS 8.4

I could have tested more if the iOS 8.3 had been provided longer then a few days after the iOS 8.4 rollout. But some posted that even this could make no sense if the wi-fi driver can't be downgraded, although part of an iOS

This is totally what I need.

After change my wifi router channel to 9 (you can search how to do it), turn Wifi in iPhone off and on, it works ! My iPhone 4s now stays connected with wifi without problems.

Thank you, thank you for sharing this solution. Vote and share for him, guys !

Since, I think Apple still need to fix this problem, because it's so dump that I can only stay connected with my wifi, not others.
