iPhone 2G Wifi problem - GSM-Forum

DrJPB · 12-11-2010, 17:45

Strange problem, Wifi scans for available networks, shows networks in range, but doesn't connect to it.
History: was not like this before, use to connect perfectly fine.
Haven't tried restoring as am worried to lose jailbreak & unlock of it.
Pls advice, thanks in advance.

Try restoring firs, its possible a SW problem not HW.
You can always jailbreak and unlock on 2G, just use custom IPSW on 3.1.3 don't worry.

p.s. first try (reset network settings) on your 2G

I tried both, but of no luck, I am sure that it's a hardware problem, cause some time it connects, some time it don't even scan, and some time it connects and then after a while disconnects and disable.
So I require assistance.
Thx

Any help, does it seems that it might be antenna problem?
Or is it the ic? In both cases, I would love to know the tech details, so to order it online & get it fixed.
Thanks in advance.

Bring it close to wifi ap if it connects its antenna problem, if not its IC.

You might need to reflow, it's a common problem. There are guides on youtube.
