Apple Releases WiFi Support Document

Today, Apple released a document to help iPhone and iPod Touch owners who are having Wi-Fi issues. Below are the Symptoms and some Fixes. You can see the original document on Apple’s website HERE.

Syptoms

    • iPhone or iPod touch appear to be connected to a Wi-Fi network but cannot use Wi-Fi for checking email, surfing the Internet, or other data transactions.

    • On the device, when you tap Settings > Wi-Fi and then tap next to the network, no values or entries for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, or DNS appear.

    • The device shows no Wi-Fi address (Tap Settings > General > About and scroll down to Wi-Fi Address).

This can happen if, during the initial setup of the iPhone or iPod touch, no Wi-Fi address was registered. So while the device can attach to different Wi-Fi networks, it will not be able to retrieve an IP address because the Wi-Fi router doesn’t see a Wi-Fi address from the device.

When you add a timer (using the + icon) you have the option to make it a repeating timer…say you want your Bluetooth to turn on from 6:30am -7:30am every Mon, Wed and Fri. You can also set up multiple timers….say you want your Bluetooth to turn on from 6:30am -7:30am every Mon, Wed and Fri and from 4:30pm -5:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You could create two timers to do that. Or, you can just create one timer that does not repeat. Read more

SweetTooth – Bluetooth Stumbler

Available In: Cydia

Price: Free

SweetTooth is a simple bluetooth stumbler application. When you open SweetTooth, it will scan for any Bluetooth devices in range. When it is finished scanning, it will display a list of all the devices that it has found (if it does not find any, the list will be blank). You can also have it rescan for devices by selecting Rescan in the upper right corner. That is basically it. It doesn’t seem like you can select a device from the list in the application and pair it to your iPhone. However, this is slightly difficult for me to test because the headset I tested was already paired to my device. So, as far as I can tell, it just gives you a list of local Bluetooth devices. However, I did notice in the package description that they are going to be adding more features to the app later. Let me know in the comments if I missed any functionality of the current version of this application (2.0.0-1). Read more
