plz help me

I spent about an hour on the phone, Skype, actually, with a tech person from apple who tried several reset options. itunes wasn’t able to recognize the iphone, and none of the reset tricks worked, and he advised me to get it to an apple store. Unfortunately for my handset, I live in Israel, and they don’t have iphone here officially, so the one private company authorized to run a sort of apple store cannot deal with it. He suggested sending it Stateside with a friend to deal with it with Apple. Not doable. Besides, it’s unlocked and jailbroken, so apple wouldn’t be too helpful once they realized that.

The good new is that I actually solved the problem, or rather, the iphone cured itself, as it did once before, when the handset had a stroke with the same symptions.Here’s what I did: I let it rest overnight (not enough) and then again, letting the battery drain, but not completely (I doubt that either one of these steps made a difference, but you never can tell). Then I kept on playing with shutting it down and powering it on. Finally, I got to the screen where the red slider shows up to power it down the usual way. The first couple of times I got to that screen (what sequence or just what I did I do not know) the white apple showed up seconds later, leaving the phone as it was. But finally, it did go all the way through the correct cycle and turned on with the “desktop” screen showing, and it’s now working fine.

Almost–I still have no wifi capability. I certainly hesitate to reset my network settings again. I don’t understand the directions for doing what one can do from the screen that has the IP address and the DHCP/BootP/static tabs. I don’t know what they mean; ditto with the rest of the page. For now, I’ve been using a neighbors wifi, so I can’t get any info that isn’t freely sent to my handset. Soon, I’ll have an AE in my apt. along with my own internet service. If you could walk me through whatever steps I can take prior to getting my own internet/wireless router I’d appreciate it (especially since I still won’t be able to access hot spots untill something is changed). And/or, walk me through whatever I can do when the router does arrive. I do connect to my neighbor’s wifi with my macbook, so if the information is accessible from there I can get it if I know where to find it.

also, on another topic, if this is ok here, or maybe there’s a different place on the blog to ask this? I was wondering about upgrading to the most current version of the OS, but know that something bad could happen if I do it with my unlocked, jailbroken iphone from iTunes without doing something to keep it from getting locked by apple (happened once before). I followed the instructions on iclarified to initially jailbreak, but don’t find any instructions about taking an already jailbroken handset with 2.2 running. Can you guide me to the right directions, or do you have any comments about whether the upgrade is worth the trouble?

Unfortuantely after much testing, resetting & restoring of routers and iPhone I gave up and visited a Genius at a local Apple store. The Genius was unable to diagnose the fault (putting it down to hardware failure of the wifi chip) and replaced the iPhone on the spot with a new one.

Since yours is an iPhone 2G, I’m assuming it’s over a year old and hence out of warranty? If you are being plagued with the same fault I had then I’m afraid it looks like you may need to ditch the faulty 2G and get a new handset.

Sorry for the potentially bad news, if possible make a free appointment at your local Apple Genius Bar and see what they say. Even though you are out of warranty you can still have free Genius bar appointments.

PS – alternatively, if you have any mobile phone insurance with your network operator or home content insurers you may want to try claiming on that?

I just tried resetting network settings as suggested, and now the iphone no longer works at all! when I power it on, the white apple comes up, and then . . . nothing happens. It just stays a blank screen with the white apple. No wifi, no phone, no calendar, no contacts, no nothing ,,,,,nadA! Help! any suggestions?

@G - You might find you’ve got a faulty iPhone. My 3G iPhone recently refused to connect to any wi-fi networks (see this post) and after following all my own guidelines above it still wouldn’t work. A trip to the Apple store and he confirms it’s a faulty iPhone and issues me with a replacement. Some wifi connectivity issues just can’t be fixed, especially if it’s hardware failure.
To find and set the IP address manually, go to Settings->WiFi and then in the list don’t click the actual name of the network itself, click the little blue arrow to the right of it and it should take you to a manual settings page for that network.

It used to pick up a wifi for a minute then just drop it and any time I would reset the network settings and then reboot, it would pick it up again for just a second then drop it. Now it will not even do that! I am just convinced (or maybe just hopeful) that it is a software issue, not a hardware.

I have the 2.2.1 Apple Firmware and have Jailbroken with 2.2.5 Pwnage Tool. Even when I restored to Apple, the problem persisted.

Also! It will not ring while in sleep mode.

Please help!
Thanks

You metnion you’ve tried some of the tips above (force restart, delete network connection from iPhone, reset all network settings on iPhone, etc) and I’m guessing you’ve tried powering down the AEBS.

My next step would be to try changing some of the settings on the AEBS, try changing the wireless network SSID (wifi network name) and then change the IP address range used from 10.0.0.x to 192.168.1.x and see what happens then. Does the iPhone still pick up an new IP in the 192.168.1.x range or is it still showing 10.0.0.3? Also check what wifi range you are using and make sure it’s not on “n-only” as this could cause problems, I think there is a setting for b&g compatible mode somewhere on the AEBS.

Sorry I can’t be any more help

Can anybody help me?

My IPhone just does not want to connect to the internet using my airport extreme base station but seems to work fine everywhere else. It finds the network but when I try connecting to the internet using safari it keeps saying it isn’t connected to the internet.
I have already tried everything suggested in this forum but still not working.

In the wifi settings of my IPhone the IP addresse comes out as 10.0.1.3
Subnet mask same as on my laptop
Router is 10.0.1.1
DNS 10.0.1.1

Does anybody know what’s going on, I’m desperate!!!

This was when I went into the router settings and took note of the KEY code and used this KEY code (instead of the named password). This worked in every case for ALL the iPhones including 3G.

IT WAS NOT A FAULT WITH ANY OF THE IPHONES!

I had this problem on my home wi-fi network where safari couldn’t connect to server even though iPhone showed a strong signal.

Solution- on main computer using router IP address (on bottom of router) log on Internet and using Internet explorer http//192.168.0.1 for example. This will open router settings-go to wireless settings and take note of KEY code 1.

On iPhone when logging onto your wi-fi-enter the KEY code1 instead of password. Your iPhone should connect to your wi-fi straight away-this cured all my problems and every device connected to network now and working

however, i just uploaded the airport extreme with the most recent update that came out this week and now wifi seems not to work at home. it does not show any wifis even though there are many including mine. My iMac works fine and my laptop is fine connected so not issue with connectivity but i am wondering if the update affected iphone access for some strange reason. My other iPhone connects fine.

i have reset network settings, manually tried to create a connection, powered on and off and reset device. i will try a starbucks NW tomorrow however, the fact it can not recognize or see other NWs in my building tells me that wont work. It simply shows no NW but my iMac shows many.

And since my other iphone (on same 1.4 OS) is working that is telling me that it is something specific to this machine. I will likely try reinstalling 1.4 and rehacking however, looking for other ideas.

any help is apreciated

You could try doing a complete restore of 1.1.2 onto the phone (don’t quote me on that but I’m sure you can still do a full restore to an older firmware).

As a last resort how about upgrading to 1.1.4 and then unlocking it again? 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 both addressed some wifi issues, with the latter supposedly fixing most of the known issues.

Scoopz (Admin)

the issue is the same…wifi is not working. it does detect my home wirless network..shows it at full strength (i have my laptop working at the same connection too so the router setup is ok) but just cant go to any web page whatsoever.

i tried several items….forgetting the network, rebooted the phone while holding the home and power button at top, rebooted and did a reset on the home router too, also did a reset on the network settings on the phone, tried using an open DNS but nothinjg seem to work.

just earlier today…i was at the apple store here in toronto and the damn phone started working just like it was supposed to. the speed was fast…and every feature worked. safari, youtube, google all was good while i was at the store.

i come home and wifi is dead again. it also appears to me that it is showing a self assigned IP to me. my router’s IP is..

192.168.0.1

i manually put this into the IP line in settings (by selecting static from top)…no luck still.

i wanna throw this thing way.

Is this the DNS code? All of it? I’ve tried rebooting and clearing all settings. Did forget again just now, and put my password I use to connect to the same wifi on my laptop. I don’t see any way of making the keyboard that pops up at that password place letters small or big, so I just put in the password on that keyboard as it is. I get subnet mask quite similar to that of my laptop save for the last two numbers are 0.0 on the iphone.
I can try putting as much information as possible from the info above in the iphone, but not sure what most the things on the iphone are. Thanks a lot for your help anyway, maybe once I go home I might have a better chance of connecting, but that won’t happen until couple months (international student). I will try to manually put some settings in i guess…

Just noticed you said it asked for password so you tried your uni account password? It may be that although you’re connected to the wifi you’re not authenticated due to incorrect password. Ask uni for the WEP / WPA passcode for your wifi, forget the wifi network, also go to settings->general->reset and Reset netowrk settings, then force reboot the phone and try and connect to uni wifi again. If it asks for password type in the WEP/WPA code given to you by uni, it is case sensitive.
See what happens…..

When I tried to connect to the uni network it asked me a password which I thought its asking my uni account password and I did that. It didn’t ask me the username though.

I did what you said and this is what came up…not sure what settings am I supposed to look at and I am assuming put them in the iphone settings?

Please try it out. I´m interested in other results…

Good luck!

But even then, 1.1.4 might not solve your wifi problems but good luck, if you manage to find a solution please post back here to help others.

Scoopz (Admin)

Have you tried upgrading to 1.1.4 yet?

Scoopz (Admin)

p.s. –if I do a force restart will I lose my installer and the programs.

So I first just surfed and installed some applications until I got enough and went home again. And now guess what: When I turned on my PC again and tried to connect the two devices once again it worked instantaneously!!! I am the happiest man tonight

So maybe what you could do if nothing of the above methods works is just what I did: Log into some other WLANs and after that try your own again. Maybe this method overwrites local properties in your iPhone, cleans the ARP or DNS cache or whatever, I don’t have any idea why it worked but it does!
