1. Reset network settings. Touch Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings.

2. Still having problems? Touch Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. Warning: You will loose all of your preferences.

Try 1, if still cannot go for 2
Warning about 2 ... You will loose all of your preferences.

Last 2 Option ..
1)Do Hard Reset, Home and Sleep until Reset (Don't do Slide turn Off)
2)Restore you Phone (100% will solve the Problem Expect Hardware Issue)

If after a clean restore, it's still having the wifi problem, then most likely it's a hardware issue.

Did you check yourself that it has wifi before buying it or you just trust the seller when he says that it has wifi?

Item being sold/bought: ARC SABER Z-SLASH TAUFIK HIDAYAT EDITION

Original thread link: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1790401&h

Date of transaction: Wednesday 1 June 2011 2.00pm

Details of the complaint : I’m not buying that ARC SABER 8DX RACKET, but he told me that he has ARC SABER Z SLASH TAUFIK HIDAYAT EDITION to let go

Confirm deal with seller Tuesday 31 May 2011 but ended deal with him Wednesday 1 June 2011 2.00pm near KL SENTRAL.

He claim that his friend racket that he help to sale..bla bla, bought it at AJ BADMINTON SHOP, PUCHONG
After I pay him RM400 for the racket and in the late evening when I want to try the racket..Its seems weird on the cone/shaft
Serial number, I’ll suspect it is imitation (FAKE) racket that he sold to me...

Wednesday 1 June 2011 10.30pm = Sms user to confirm whether the racket are original or fake? - NO ANSWER or NO REPLY

Thursday 2 June 2011 10.00am = Call him a few times but now the no automatic 'bz' all the time.

Thursday 2 June 2011 12.30pm = Call him with my other no, suddenly he pickup and tell me he want double check again with the shop..bla bla
and will call me back at 5pm on the same day.

Thursday 2 June 2011 5.00pm = No call I received from him, and I make a few call and against the no simce 'bz' when I dial with my no and the other no.

Conclusion = Dishonest forumer seller/Irresponsible, Senior Member some more...banned him!! mad.gif

p/s: i will upload the fake racket later..
