iPhone Wifi Fix!

Well I’m not exactly sure how she did it, but my girlfriend managed to find the fix for a major Wifi issue with the iPhone 3G.

For the problem I was having, read here:  iPhone 3G you suck…

Now I know a lot of people are plagued with this exact issue, now you might want to backup your phone first, but here’s how to do it:

1. Add a passcode lock to your iPhone (Settings > General > Passcode Lock)
2. Once you have set a lock, make sure you set the “Erase Data” to ON
3. Now for the crazy bit, Lock your phone and put in the password wrong 10 times. Thats right, lock it out and force it to delete all info.
4. Once your phone has formatted itself, plug it into iTunes and either update or restore the iPhone.
5. Restart your iPhone
6. Voilà ! You have fixed your Wifi (probably)

Now this isn’t a hard and fast rule, but its managed to resurrect my iPhone’s Wifi and its fairly stable, although it does still drop out a little like any normal iPhone.

The credit goes totally to my girlfriend though, without her accidentally locking and wiping the phone I wouldn’t have Wifi now!
