IPhone :: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Networks And Connections
Jun 19, 2012
I recently got internet through Time Warner which I believe is DSL. I connected everything up to my Time Capsule, and the light is green. I got onto my Macbook and updated the firmware for the Time Capsule and am able to get on the internet connected to the Time Capsule with no problem what so ever.I got my iPhone 4 and my iPhone 4s and try to connect to the Time Capsule, I enter the password and all it does is have the loading ring and won't connect to it.On my iPhones I've tried to renew the lease, reset my network settings, turn off and on the wifi, hard reset, turn off the phone normal, and still nothing.my Time Capsule I've tried to disconnect and reconnect everything, I've tried to restart my modem and reconnect it.It's still the same problem I can connect just fine with the wifi on my Macbook, but my iPhones just have the loading ring and never connect.
I have had my ipad for about one year. Recently it started dropping the wifi. I would have to go to settings and choose my network. Then it would not connect at all. I went online looking for solutions. I tried everything. Nothing helped. I also have an iphone4S that I just got about 2 months ago. It has now also lost connection to my wifi.
I've got Googe maps, BTC Mapper, and Endomondo on my phone. They all use GPS to track you, plot where you have been, and save tracks for you to chek out later. They work nice. I use them a lot for walking, running, and bicycling.My question though, is the GPS actually using the GPS satellites in orbit, or is it using triangulation off several cell towers to get my location?If it is using GPS satellites, why is it that if I turn off all connections (Mobile Network Sprint & Wi-Fi), I lose all GPS connections as well? If this device is atually getting signals from the satellites, what difference does it make if I am in a cell coverage area or not?I've read that, yes, the location is retrieved from the satellites, but to plot it on the maps takes the cell connection. If that is the case, is there an app that just logs longitude and latitude every second and stores it in a file that can be dumped to a map at a later time?
The reason I bring all this up is because, later this summer, I plan to go on a 2-week long cruise that will visit about a dozen different Carribean islands and I'd like to track my location. At sea, I won't be able to pick up a cell signal. Will the GPS tracking apps like google, still work? Even if I can't get a cell signal, my GPS should still be able to pick up satellite signals
The existing KB article on troubleshooting an USB connection to a Mac makes no sense to me on Lion with my MacBook Air.It says to mark the ethernet connection inactive. I've got the Wi-Fi and the iPad network connections and marking either inactive and then active has no effect on the USB tethering.
The iPad entry says cable disconnected even when my iPad is connected. iTunes starts and can sync to the iPad and tethering works over bluetooth or Wi-Fi, but I'd like to get USB tethering working so I can shut off my Air's radios completely and tether to my iPad 3.
I am having issues with all my apps, they just blink and return to the main desktop screen, so I can't actually access any of them. What do I need to do without losing all my contacts & info stored?
I want to be able to move my app icons to different locations on my phone.How do I move them. At one time I could bring up my phone on the computer and move them around but this is a new computer and I can not do it.Can anyone please help?
recieved a message on my iphone, iphone needs to be restored to recieved cellular coverage or something that. Tried to restored comes up with error (-1) cant be restored.
I was trying to restore my friends 3G which is stuck in connect to iTunes on the screen when ever i try restoring it, it says 1015 error while restoring!
i received unlock info from att company itself but i live in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. If i unlock it without any sim-card in it (because i do not ahve a valid US sim card, I have a local carrier's sim). It is gonna be a problem for my iphone?
I have an iPhone 4 and recently saw a Kickstarter account for a Bluetooth watch that displays notifications and can control your music player on your phone.My question is, I also have a Bose Sound link which connects to my phone through Bluetooth.Can my iPhone have two Bluetooth connections so that my phone can play music through my Sound link, but at the same time allow for the watch to connect to the phone and control the music player?
The GPS radio in my Sprint Mogul/6800 appears to have died. When using the built-in Live Search application or the updated Bing application, trying to use the GPS results in a "Getting position..." message that eventually times out. It seems odd the rest of the phone would keep working 100% normally. So far I've just hard reset it, but with the same problem. My only ideas are to 1) reflash the firmware, or 2) look for disassembly instructions and hope some part of the antenna came loose once when I dropped it.Does this make sense?Would anybody who knows the guts of the 6800 tell me if taking it apart would be a waste of time?
At my work we have our hotspot that is my preferred connection when in our space. There are common areas in the building that has free wifi such as the lunch area and the gym. How can i make my work hotspot the prefered connection since they can over lap?
My iphone 4s will not find any wifi connections, even though I have other devices connected at home. It simply searches and the little circle spins continually, but finds nothing. I have tried resetting everything and turning off and then on again etc. I cannot understand why it is now not working all of a sudden and none of the suggested fixes on Apple Support work.
I have myiphone 6 withios 8.1.1 connected to my 2013 Honda Pilot with Bluetooth. Everything works fine when I am listening to music with the native music app. However, when I make or receive a phone call thebluetooth drops in and out every couple of minutes. How do I stop it from dropping out? It makes usingbluetooth for a phone call useless. And why would it work for hours on end if it is only playing music but won't work for more than a minute on a phone call?

I'm new here and i would like to know if anyone got the same problem as me. i received a new phone after having a problem with the older, i received it with the PR1.2. until that i was abble to listen music on any radio device but now it's impossible, the transmitter actually work, when i check activating the sound stop on my phone but i got nothing on my radio, i tried to boost the frequency but still nothing, anyone have an idea about what happen?
Missing from the list is the problem where we install 3.04 from the automatic update, start it, and after 2 seconds Maps suddenly exits and returns to the home screen.I am using a C5 in the USA, and according to the box the phone is an asia version.
My iPhone network connections (WiFi/4G) are extermely slow after performing the update to IOS 5.1! Speedtest.Net results over 4G = 0.15 Mpbs down and 0.05 Mpbs up ans that's will FULL bars! AT&T claims that there are no network issues in my area and they are not throttling my device. Even over WiFi it's taking FOREVER to download apps from the app store, etc.
way to check the Bluetooth protocol version being used for a given device connection on the iPhone? Is there a status screen or logfile somewhere?
E.g., if I connect a headset, is there a way to verify whether the iPhone is communicating with it using 3.0, 2.1, 2.0, etc? This isn't the same as what the device specs say it supports as (all?) Bluetooth devices are capable of falling back to earlier protocol versions. I'm envisioning a situation in which a 2.1 version device isn't fully compatible for whatever reason and so falls back to 1.1- how would you know this has happened?
I want to be able to verify what protocol a given device is actually communicating at for various reasons (security, power usage, etc.)...
I have a iPhone 4s with IOS 7 and up until yesterday my WiFi connection was working fine. Suddenly it disconnected and after multiple attempts to reconnect,the WiFi page has stopped displaying ALL connections.I have tried basically placing my phone on top of my internet modem to no avail and have even tried my friends WiFi and nothing is coming up. I have tried resetting the network connections and restarting but just nothing.
