i've once compared N95 8GB with iphone 2G.

it seems that the N95 8GB have stronger signal than the iphone 2G, at least N95 can detect with 1 bar but iphone 2G was having a hard time detecting the same access point at same distance.

not sure about iphone 3G.

this is from my personal experience (and it is not supported by anything) but i feel that by A/U/J-ing an iphone 2G, the wifi signal seems to be relatively weaker compared an officially unlocked 3G unit (assuming what they claim is true that both are still outsourcing from the same manufacturer).


i have observed this by comparing previous wifi out-of-coverage areas (with my 2G) around my house.

heh, u should compared same model boss
2g & 3g totally different built one, new model should been enhanced compared to old model, IMHO  icon_rolleyes.gif   smile.gif

ayai, how la to find an officially unlocked 2G version in malaysia? the closest thing which i can do is to find, for example is a uk unit with an o2 sim card roaming.


Added on October 25, 2008, 9:46 ambesides, i have read one article before (authenticity is not confirmed) that both 2G and 3G uses the same wifi device. hence only i came up with that theory.

bro. i having a problem with my newly bought(just few days only)iphone 3g 16gb. The wifi just coudlnt find any network in my house(I have 2 wifi networks). However, my laptops, pcs, n95 can connect to my network without hassle. i just face this problem today. before that i use the wifi with my iphone without any problem. Can anyone help me?

My iphone bought from singtel and it is officially unlocked. The firmware was updated to the latest 2.2 version on the day i got my the phone. It works with the wifi until this evening. I am very worried rite now.

thank you for not opening a brand new thread to keep this forum less messy.

may i recommend that you these two methods first:

1. load your desired wifi network -> Forget this network

2. Settings -> General ->Reset -> Reset Network Settings

the 2. method i did tried but not help.

the 1st one i dun get it as the iphone couldnt find any network at my home. I am very 200% sure that my home network is not defect as i am using it rite now.

wat i see the wifi in the iphone is on but search nothing.
*
then i cannot offer anymore solutions (apart from the dreaded restoration, which i will hold first). however if it is any consolation, when i patronise starbucks, i do have troubles "latching" on to its network sometimes.

hello
something is wrong with my sis's 3Gs. her iphone wifi is connected but when browsing in safari, the browser said it is not connected to the internet.

my iphone's wifi is good. there's no problem at all.

is it hardware problem?
*
is it jailbroken? have you tried opting for "reset network settings"?

How do i fix the broken wifi? Without going to the Genius as they wont fix it in Australia.

I have upgrade to version 3.0.1,still no wifi.

I have the wifi address,but i still cant connect to any wifi network.Tried whatever Apple put on their site and nothing works.

Is there any solution to that?

yours is an australian set? still under warranty?

Hi Jason, thanks for the info... btw I already tried Maxis Centre Sunway Pyramid and BBT (Bukit Tinggi Klang)...

and I also called maxis hotline for their advise and they said the same no way for me to get the replacement without owner...

Please 3x tell me where did your customer exchange or repair their iPhone. I really3x need your advise. The owner don't want to help me.


Added on September 6, 2009, 9:31 pmPeeEl, that y i still patiently waiting for the solution and waiting for the owner reply my call.... I know the warranty will void if I sent to the 3rd party for repair...

i recalled, tinkelbel telling me that, for warranty purposes, you just need the card that comes with the iPhone.

Before Lowyat Jason came out with his revelation, experiences shared by some forummers here much earlier were that the original owner must present the iPhone for warranty claims. Hence, the reason I posted what I posted above.

Looks like the mystery continues.........

i really have no idea, with regards to maxis operational methods (as i have never purchased from maxis before)

that service card just looks extra work if you ask me (coupled with the snail mail of the OS 3.0 CD)

though, i can only speculate, the reason that maxis would wanna impose such a pain in the neck procedure is, to avoid customers from forfeiting (or how the cantonese peeps would say it, "FFK") their contracts and subsequently selling off their iPhones for a quick fortune.

surely, if you haven't been paying your maxis bills, you cannot expect maxis to honour the warranty; only the rightful owner of the iPhone will be responsible sorting them out.
