WIFI shown "NO WIFI" HELP!!!

[Kevin77]

it has nothing to do with my router, but my iphone
i'm using a 1.1.1 version,
but if restore in iTune, do i have to RE-activite and Unlock it again??

it's weired... that losing the Wi-Fi wasn;t too big deal for me, but the battery would drain dramatically from, 2 days to 6 hrs

Hi Gloria,

My WiFi broke down on my iPod Touch. It was working OK one morning, I watched a 30 minute video, and when I went back into Safari I couldn't. I checked the WiFi settings and it was grayed out. I rebooted, restored, reset, etc., and nothing fixed the problem. Apple said it was a hardware problem, and yes my battery also rapidly exhausted all power during the "no WiFi" problem. It's as if the unit was continuously trying to get the WiFi to work or maybe there's some sort of circuitry that has something to do with the battery that also breaks the WiFi. It's definitely some bug in the hardware of the iPhone/iPod Touch.

The Problem is that the wifi atenna is broken in the iPod Touch/iPhone so you either dropped it or its just a manufacturing problem either way call apple and if you have a apple store near you, you can exchange it but if your not so lucky like me you'll have to call and get it sent it. They'll send you a box and you'll send it to them to either get it fixed or give you a new one. You'll have it in about a week hope this helps.

What makes you think the wi-fi antenna was broken? I don't think it had anything to do with the antenna. It had everything to do with a faulty part on the circuit board inside the iPod Touch. This was a brand new iPod, and it was absolutely never dropped. Many of these were faulty, and lots of people returned them to Apple. I got a replacement iPod Touch. It was a brand new serial number. I was glad that they replaced it as I didn't trust the iPods that were made the week my first one was made.

If it was a broken antenna, the software would not gray out the wi-fi settings completely like that. How would the iPod know the difference between a broken antenna, and a wi-fi connection that would be miles outside of the iPod's range? When I go to areas of the city where there is no wi-fi service, my wi-fi setting does not gray itself out - it just shows up as no available wi-fi connection. This was clearly something else.

Hi Guys, my iphone 3G had perfect wifi reception for the first 4 month i have owned it. Yesterday it stopped picking up any wifi networks at all???
I tried many things suggested, but nothing helped. I saw one guy had put his phone in the fridge, so i thought why not. After about 20 mins, i took it out and it instantaneously connected to wifi, this lasted about 10 mins. I can put it in the fridge and it will connect every time, but once the phone has got back to room temp the connection dissapears again??
Any ideas if this can be fixed...i'm in China so no chance of exchanging the unit.
Cheers Pete,

i'm having this SAME exact problem.. problem didn't start until i started beta testing 3.0! i also read a post about the fridge solution and it did help for about 3 minutes, but after that.. NOTHING!

ANYONE with any solutions on this problem, please help!

(added note, my phone has NEVER been dropped, so it's not an issue like that... i'm THINKING it's more to do with the beta testing, BUT, the only problem with that thought is, it doesn't seem to be affecting any other beta testers, or there would be threads left and right about it)!

My husband's phone had the same issue, called Applecare and after going through all the steps to try to get it to work again, the conclusion was that it was a hardware problem. We ended up sending the iPhone in for repair and a refurbished one was sent to us in exchange.
