WiFi on my iPhone 3G stopped working

Flag Reply by gtmorais Oct 7 @ 8:36 AM

Hi,

the wi-fi on my iphone 3g just stopped working, it can´t find any network, while people here with iphone 3g can find many networks.

I´ve made no updates to my iphone, only installed new apps/games.

I´m running 3.0 iphone OS jailbroken, and everything else is working fine, including 3g network and gps. I tried to fix it via software, restored its default, but nothing worked.

Does anyone here have replaced the wi-fi or its flex cable? If anyone have any information about this, i´ll be glad.

Thanks,

Guilherme - From Brazil

Also i have the same problems... If you have garancy of your iphone, you can go to an apple store, they'll change you..

Much people has the same problems, and here i haven't found a resolution's guide to this problem..

The same thing is happening to bluetooth, it finds other devices but don´t get connected, even wi-fi, sometimes it ask if I want to connect to a network, but don´t get connected, I think its only the antenna...

I have warranty but in Brazil they don´t want to replace my iphone, our consumer protection here is very weak

I'm suffering the same issue since 3 weeks ago, today I updated to 3.1.2 (Jailbreak) but it's not the solution.

I can almost guarantee it is an overheating issue, lots of people are suffering the same thing. Someone's at Apple discussion forum fixed it putting the iphone on the freezer, but its not a real fix. Apple has stolen us.

So???????

what about this problem?? Is possible to change the wifi antenna??

I'm not in warranty (out for 2 weeks), so the apple care told me that I can change (for the second time) my iphone with one refurbished, at the $@!&@@$ price of 210 euros...

I'm not so happy about the customer care of apple. they change me the iphone the 1st time with a refurbished one with the battery down... and now I need a new one because the battery life is about 5 hours and the wifi doesn't work.. I've to pay??? 90 days for the extended warranty is too less.

Well.. If somebody knows how to change the wifi antenna, just tell me something, in the meanwhile I'll change the battery. thx a lot. Tommy

As strange as this sounds.... I have found that if you go to settings and turn on Airplane mode and turn off Wi-Fi then go to /General/Network and turn off all of the settings: Enable3G/Data Roaming/Wifi ect. reboot your iPhone and turn Airplane settings back Off as well as turning your 3G and WI-FI back on to your original settings...I have seen the Wifi start working... It's more of a corrupt Preference Issue at times than a Hardware... it's a quickfix.. that can save you money...were all about saving money...
