iPhone not connecting to WiFi like the old days...

[Learjet035]

My phone has been really lagging on hooking up with local WiFi.
Spots that I frequent, used to just pop up and I'd be on. Now I wait n wait then goto settings and browse, there it is, click then it connects.

Did a full restore and still same. Anyone else?

Plus now my iTunes doesn't see my phone?? Weirdnessness

I find that periodic powering down cures most of what ails the iPhone. Something about refreshing the cells you connect to. Shrug!

Yeah I noticed that, but this time no luck.

OP, that is exactly what I'm experiencing with this iPhone (#2). My first one I had for about a month w/out this issue. I got this one Aug 29th and it's already showed these exact symptoms. When I went in to a Genius, he told me to just do a factory restore. All that did for me was to make me have to reset all my Mail settings, p/w, and encrypted wifi p/w.

I have yet to bring it back in to say a factory restore didn't do the trick.

I've been having the same problems also. I think since the last update.

I have several wi-fi locations stored in my iPhone. At home (where the signal is really strong) I have no problem. But, in some other locations (like the local coffee shop) it SEES the wi-fi but always prefers EDGE.

It wasn't like this 2 weeks ago.

What's bad... is that EDGE is terrible. I already want a way to turn off EDGE. Now... I'm finding myself using it more than before. At the local coffee shop I can't use their wi-fi anymore? rrrrr.

I'm eager for the 3rd iPhone software update. I assume they'll fix this. I'm also HOPING they quickly give us a way to turn off EDGE. Until they do, my phone is staying in the USA.
