Q: Everything wrong with my iPhone!

I Have an iPhone 5c.

Not too old, right? Well, it acts like it's been around much longer than 2 and a half years.

It has many many problems that I've tried finding solutions for, but I seem to be the only person with some of these problems. So, I came here. I hope to find answers. Let's get started.

 

Wi-Fi

This problem started fairly recently. About 2 weeks ago I went to a lake (I didn't drop it in the lake) for a whole day and did not have any cell service. Ever since then I have not been able to connect to any wifi. Not my home wifi, nor my schools wifi. I know the passwords, but everytime I type them in it tells me they're wrong! I spent about 30 minutes last night trying to connect to my home wifi, with no luck.

 

New Update

In my settings I have the little '1' on the 'General' tab letting me know I'm able to get IOS 10... But nOOoo! When I click on the tab it loads and loads and when it's done a window comes up and tells me that it's not able to find updates. I push 'try again' over and over, but all I get is the same window telling me it can't find any updates.

 

Space/logging out

So I've have this phone for a few years now an dI know how much it can take. I know my photo limits (about 1000), and app limits (6-9). But (this has been going on for about a year and a half now) I can only have a few apps at a time and and less than 400 photos. And, I'm am unable to take any photos or downlaod apps/songs without being told that I don't have enough space. Because my phone thinks I don't have enough space, it will log me out of my accounts on apps.

 

Deletion

This is getting super old. I can't have notes or text logs anymore without my phone deleting them all. My phone also likes deleting my songs, game progress, photos, contact info, and emails. Even if it doesn't delete my photos it will just let me scroll through them without being able to see any of them. Meaning, all of my photos turn white and non- existent, while still being there.

Because I'm often told the space on my phone is full, I try deleting my (white) photos, but am unable. After selecting a few photos to delete I press the 'Delete' button but it does nothing. Nothing at all. Just sits there. And if it does do anything, the photos app will quit on me. I am also unable to open my 'Mail' icon because all it does is quit on me.

 

Notifications

When I get a text, I do not get a notification anymore. Or I will not get a text at all, and the next day at school people ask why I'm ignoring them. When I go to my text log, the logs that don't get deleted are usually for people I talk to a lot, which is nice, but my most recent text won't go to the top anymore. So, I have to go into the chat to see if I have a new text. I still get notifications for apps that haven't logged me out yet though.         

 

Using Safari

This happens off and on, but more often than not. When I search something in safari search results come up fine, but when I click on a link to a website the screen goes black.. All I can see is the address bar, time, battery, refresh button and stuff, the rest is black. If I refresh the page it doesn't do anything.

 

Tthe phone usually charges fine, shows the correct time, keeps alarms, gets phone calls, and makes phone calls. I'm not able to pay for a new phone right now, so I'd like to know what's wrong, and if I can fix any of these problems even if the solution is only temporary.

iPhone 5c, iOS 9.3.4, Piece of ****.
