6 Plus — Wifi issues

[kalirob99]

With previous builds, all you had to do was connect via itunes via the cable and click on sync and it was suppose to delete those files. It doesn't do that with 8.0.2. I have the app PhoneClean on my iMac and you can delete those files. It use to be free, now it's not.

Damn 8.0.2, thanks for the info though

Hi,

I have an issue when randomly my 6+ drops wifi when I step outside of my house and then fails to reconnect — it stays connected to LTE. I go into settings > wifi and the page takes a solid minute to open. It's scanning but can't find anything. I then toggle off and back on, which doesn't refresh the page at all until I leave settings and reopen.

Furthermore, upon re-entering my network info, it prompts me with 'could not scan for wireless networks' <dismiss>. I have to reboot the phone to be able to connect again.

I read that some people complained about lag also. Mine seems to be handling everything fine on safari, but feels excessively laggy around the OS. In settings > wallpapers > choose new wallpaper > stills, scrolling up and down the images available is enough to make the screen stutter rather badly. My 5S running the same version is butter smooth in comparison.

Could this be a bad unit or should I wait for an update to iOS 8? I'm 4 days away from the return window ending.

And please, I know it's becoming traditional on MR as of late, no need to go all flames on me. I love everything about the phone and can't even for the life of me imagine going back to anything other than a 6 Plus. I'm just genuinely worried and wouldn't want to be stuck with a defective unit I'm gonna have to repair down the road.

I have similar issue and I really hope this is iOS bug and not hardware.

My iP6 randomly drop wifi and then I go to wifi setting to check the status I do not see any networks under wifi network search. Only thing that worked for me is resetting the network setting. This is really annoying.

I hope this is fixed in 8.1. BTW I have 8.0.2

Having the same issue as well, hope the next iOS update fixes this.

I'm having having same issue. My wifi will randomly drop and reconnect a minute later like nothing ever happenee. Sometimes though it will drop and not pick back up for 5-10 minutes, in which I have to reset network settings.

When it's connected, it's fast and works like it's supposed to. Hopefully a software issue to be fixed in 8.1.

Same issue here. My mbp, iPad Air are both fine. 6 plus loses wifi until I restart phone. Not happy.
