Hi all,a few crimbos ago I got a iPod touch 4
I only use it for radio and listening to old skool rave/house choonz on utube and it lives permently on the speaker dock in the kitchen.
Now the last 2 months the music has been cutting out....and I noticed that the wifi signal bar goes from full beans then nothing.....so I put me iPhone in front and played the same song on the iPod and iPhone ....1/4 though the song the iPod dropped the wifi signal but the phone was still playing and showing full strength
Ok the phone is newer ( 5s).... But surely that shouldn't matter??
Any help on a fix for the iPod guys??
Thanks

Had this on an old iPad 2 recently:

1) Do a hard reset (press and hold both buttons until you see the Apple logo
2) If that doesn't work then Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings
3) Set up your Wi-fi again
4) if that hasn't fixed it then plug in to iTunes and install any outstanding updates
5) repeat 2+3

If that doesn't work then you may have to do a full reset, so do a back-up when you connect to iTunes

Well know issue on iPhone 4S that the wifi chips where poor amd many had issues, my point being it could be a hardware / chip issue. My 4S wifi died, did a few hairdrier - yes really - resets as per web but in the end it expired and Apple said it was not a replaceable part and as phone more than 2 years old and not bought from thr. nothing they would do. Search a few specific apple forums, it could be a hardware issue 🙁

Well I tried no1
And it seems to work....not had any dropping....yet.....fingers crossed it stays like that.....
I really hope it's not a dodgy chip....as that sounds bad of Apple to sell high end stuff with crappy bits...surely they should replace free??

Anyway ..thanks guys
