We
have received few emails from customers stating that they have issues
with their Internet on the iPhone after jailbreaking.
The
issues focus on no Internet connectivity (no 3G network or EDGE network
connection) as well as Wi-Fi connection problems.
Fix #1: Reset Network Settings
Those
of you who are having issues with WiFi failing to connect to a nearby
hotspot or network should reset your network settings by following
three simple steps.
Step 1: On your iPhone 3G and 3GS, navigate to
Settings –> General –> Reset –> Reset Network Settings
Step 2: A dialog will prompt you with “Reset Network Settings” button as shown in the screenshot below.
Step 3:
Hit this button and turn off your iPhone by holding down power button
on the top and then slide to turn off your phone. Now turn on your
