iPhone X wifi issues

I’m having same issue with my iPhone X. It’s become a daily issue of toggling the WiFi. Really getting sick of iPhone. Told all my friends NOT to get iPhone X. Am seriously thinking of switching to other brands. It’s really sad as I have been an Apple fan for 15 years....

I have the same problem. The issue of toggling the WiFi is really frustrating, specially because it is the most expensive iphone of Apple. When I click wifi in control center, it doesn't reflect in settings, and vice-versa. If you find the solution please let me know.

That is a totally different issue than the subject of this thread. With iOS 11 the button in the control panel no longer toggles Wi-Fi. Instead, it disconnects from the current network but leaves Wi-Fi enabled. A very useful feature that I use daily. See: Use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in Control Center with iOS 11 - Apple Support for more information

But have no fear, there are still FOUR ways to turn Wi-Fi on and off:

• Settings/Wi-Fi: OFF
• "Hey Siri, turn off Wi-Fi"
• Hold the HOME button: "Turn off Wi-Fi"
• Press on the Settings icon and tap Wi-Fi on the pop-up menu

Thanks for the tip. I went ahead and deleted my keychain, but the problem still persists.

I didn't get a chance to call AppleCare today but I will be calling them tomorrow. Somehow, even though they have already replaced my phone with a new one, I still think it's a hardware issue. I mean really what else could it be after having completely wiped my phone, did a factory restore and refraining from putting my data backup back on the phone and the problem still persists. No other device I have experiences this issue - from 2 iPads, an iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 5s couple of Macbooks and XBOX and more... and nothing has this issue except for the iPhone X.

As promised, I will document everything right here on this forum, in this thread until resolution.

...sigh.

Me too! Just bought new iPhone X on 10/6/2018 and the WiFi keeps toggling on and off, the signals is not stable, and WiFi turns off by itself. Despite trying to on the WiFi but failed. Great disappointment!

I also have wifi issues. I got a brand new iPhone X about 3 days ago. From the beginning it had call drops. So Apple swapped the phone with a refurb. one. Now I am experiencing wifi issues. Wifi goes fine for some time then out of nowhere the wifi connection dissapears and whenever I try to connect to my network again it says that the password is wrong ( i dont even know why it asks for my password again since the network is already saved on my device). Anyway, I have to turn wifi off and on, sometimes multiple times, before it connects back to my network.

Not pleased by Apple, only 4 days gone and already trouble with 2 devices.

Thanks for sharing everything! I have the same problem and I did the same trying the iOS 12 beta. The issues continues so far :(. It's REALLY disappointing to deal with this issue like this in a such expensive/high end device.

Wow Smanfredini - you've tested with iOS 12 beta and still experience the issue? Interesting. I haven't tried iOS 12 beta yet because the current version has a few known bugs that I don't mind dealing with but there are 2 bugs that I just don't want to wrestle with at all, so I am waiting for the next release and hoping those 2 in particular are squished.

Well, don't lose heart as regards iOS 12. It is after all beta. I have a feeling that since Apple's main objective for iOS 12 is bug sweep and performance, once it's out of the sandbox this WiFi issue will be gone.

...one can only hope anyway. : |

Since the "X" in iPhone X represents the tenth anniversary of the iPhone would it be really surprising if they retired that name?

According to an article I read today the X has a 3% failure rate, one of the lowest ever along with the 8 series.

Thanks!!

In this link I show what’s going on with my phone.

please let me know if you have the solution.

I reset the phone to new, and works ok.

When I got my back up, again start to do this **** thing.

I already went to local apple custom services (no apple store in Argentina ) and they don’t have a clue about it.

Thanks again.

Yes, that will work - for the iPhone X. But not all devices (especially older ones) can work on 5 GHz and require 2.4 GHz, so if you have any such devices they will not be able to connect. Manolo’s solution of naming the two bands differently is more robust.

Omg!!! I’ve been having the exact same issue with my phone! I came across this article and now I can actually use WiFi on my iPhone X without any issues! I had no idea there were 2 different frequencies and now I have 3 different WiFi networks instead of 2! OMG!!! So extremely relieved now! This fixed my issue, i screenshotted this and intend on Sharing it with anyone else who has issues! 🙌-1F3FC;🙌-1F3FC;🙌-1F3FC;

Rpalacio, I have the exact same issues as you are describing (it’s my 3rd iPhone X so agree it’s def a S/W issue). Have you heard back from the engineering team? I am really trying not to have to wipe out all my data....

Thanks!

I'm having the same issues, on my second iPhone X, wifi won't work most of the time, have to use 4G, it works perfect, iPad and MacBook work perfect, apple need to sort this out... its obviously something on their end.

I have the exact same issue and it is not isolated at home. The WiFi button freezes and sometimes I have to turn the phone off and on again to fix it.
