iOS 8.1.4 WiFi Problem

Hello everyone there. I have been facing WiFi problems in my iPhone 4S, since I have upgraded to iOS 8.1.3. The new version 8.1.4 is launched now, I have upgraded to it but my WiFi is having problem. It connects for few minutes and gets disconnected, and then keeps searching for WiFi. I have tried everything, Can anyone help me please? I will be grateful please help me out. My iPhone is useless now, if this is not fixed I may sell it and never buy any apple product. This frustrates really.

iPhone 4S, iOS 8.4.1

Hi salman88,

If you are having an issue with losing your Wi-Fi connection from your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network.

The article title sounds like it is just for being unable to make an initial connection, but the steps are relevant to your issue of dropped connections as well.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Sincerely.

Thank you very much for your valuable time to give me a reply. But, it is not solved yet. I have tried this too. WiFi is still not connecting. I have tried with another WiFi connection, the same result. It seems this problem will be forever in my phone, though, I know it is just a software issue, but I am afraid apple will never be able to solve this issue. Apple is my favorite brand, it will be my favorite brand, but I guess I will never choose my future phones from Apple. I am sorry if Apple moderators are reading my post.

You don't say what you have tried, exactly. Is this on your home wi-fi or on other wi-fi such as public or work wi-fi? Have you tried rebooting your home router? Resetting your network settings? Please state more information so that someone here can attempt to help.

OK mate, let me explain you. I have restored my phone twice, in fact thrice, I have reset my router, I have tried using my office WiFi which is different router and different internet provider. I have also tried reset all networks of my iPhone (many times). The problem is that my iPhone 4S does not catch any WiFi network. Earlier, when iOS 8 launched I faced this problem, but it was cured in the later version till iOS 8.1.3 launched (currently iOS 8.1.4 is in my phone, before the previous version of iOS, my WiFi worked accurately). I would be very grateful to you if you help me solve this problem. Please keep suggesting me. Thank you.

Have you restored as a NEW device (not loading your backup file) to test? If this cures the problem, it means that there is some corruption in your backup file, or that one of your apps is the source of the problem.

Hello Amish,

Yeah, I have tried that too. But the same problem. This problem has put me in a real confusion. I am just unable to think what should I do with my iPhone. Though, I will keep on searching the ways to cure it until I buy the new one. Thank you mate.

Thank you for the reply mate. It took quiet long to go through this thread. But still my iPhone 4S is same as before, without WiFi. It seems even Apple is not interested to sort this problem. Many 4S users having same problem. I better be changing my phone now. This time definitely NO to iPhones.

Are you still on iOS 8 or have you updated to 9? If not update to 9 as that has solved it for many. Apple changed the Wi-Fi software in 9 and that may well help you. Good luck.
