RE: Apple Users
Apple has always had flakey wireless, especially when roaming -- lots of issues with 9.1 wifi, many folks are simply either downgrading or waiting on fix.

RE: Apple Users
My phone, just recently, has not been connecting to wifi. It will show that it has found a network and will have the check mark next to the network but will still be connected to my cellular data. I have no clue what to do.

RE: Apple Users
A few things that Apple will always suggest trying when you bring it in:
1. reboot the device
2. if there's still a problem choose the " Reset Network Settings" option
3. If there's still a problem they'll tell you to restore it to iOS 9.1 again without restoring from backup.
If the problem persists after #3 I'd schedule a Genius Bar appointment.

try turning off the "wifi assist" option in settings. maybe that'll keep it from looking so hard for it.

I'll give that a try. I'm also going to try the ole, and I don't know why I didn't think of this yesterday, turn the phone off and back on approach. I was at Chick Fil A for lunch and it showed the wifi, showed the check, but never connected....I was still on my crap 3G. Last night while I was with my wife at Khols I tried again...same results.

I always forget to turn mine off & on, and I read something a while back that said that is the best way to keep your phone operating at a high level.

It's just like a computer and sometimes applications don't free things like RAM properly. A reboot is the only way to resolve that.

RE: Apple Users
I upgraded my iPhone 6 to the latest iOS and it took over two hours and reset my alarm, so it didn't go off the next morning. Everything else is fine, but I did have to glance over all my settings like Bluetooth for the car and Wi-Fi for all my remembered locations.
