According to ReadWriteWeb, iPhone and iPad users are reporting Wi-Fi connectivity issues after upgrading iOS 4.3.3 that was released by Apple last week to fix the location tracking bug.

As RWW points out, when iPad 1 was launched last year, users had reported similar Wi-Fi connectivity issues but this time it looks like it is also affecting iPhone users.

Sarah Perez of RWW explains the issue she faced after upgrading to the latest iOS software update:

    I'm noticing that not just the WiFi cuts out - so does my carrier connection. It will just simply disappear, state Searching, then reappear. This has happened while on the phone as well resulting in a call failed response.

    My biggest problem with this "upgrade" is that it seems to very quickly drain my iPhone 4 battery. Didn't have this problem at all on any previous releases. Am I alone?

    Wow. Good thing I'm still on 4.3.2. I noticed since they released iOS 4.3, a lot of problems are happening. Does Apple even test them before release? Cause we've been getting updates that just causes MORE problems to our iDevices.

    I don't have any of the problems on ipad2 or iPhone 3GS maybe this is caused by jail break software like ultrasn0w or something as none of my devices need to be jb so I dont have any battery issues or wifi maybe doggie jailbreak software has anybody thought of that instead of just blaming apple what about the buggy hacks and cracks that are done to jail break the device what about the memory leaks etc that causes the idevice? Just a thought.

    I'm not blaming anyone because for all I know there is a setting that will fix it. My phone isn't and has never been jailbroken or unlocked. I have no reason to do that.

    Depending on which version you came from. 4.3 brought along with it some battery problems. Anyway, with the recently updated redsn0w and Snowbreeze 2.7.1 I find the problem to be not as severe.

    JB'ed. No problem with WiFi or 2G connection here. I don't use 3G because it's a drain on battery. I also don't have a data plan cuz there's WiFi everywhere I go except when I'm driving.

    Jailbroken and tweaked up, no problem at all. Using at least 5 different wi-fi networks every day. Neither had problems using data or 3G networks. I recommend just one thing: after every update do "reset network settings" it will help you preventing network problems and battery draining. I test several iPhones every week and this method always helped me.

    I have had this problem with the iPad since going to WPA security on my router on all v4 versions. Was never an issue with TKIP.Boss Pref -> WiFi off -> WiFi on. Second nature at this point.

    Well, I am on iPhone 3GS, with iOS 4.3.3, jailbroken. I have been seeing strange issues this week since I updated from 4.2.1 this past weekend.I am not getting notifications properly. Seems mainly when I have not just recently used the app. Ping chat for instance, and google voice. I always got my notifications for ping chat before the update.Also, I noticed that the request to join wi-fi network is not coming up all the time like it used too. For instance, at work, we have private wi-fi which my phone would request quite often to join. After the update, it hasn't been asking. (Yes, the setting to ask to join networks is still on).Lastly, the find my iphone program doesnt seem to find my iphone, except when I am at home. Not sure why, because if I open maps, it find my location fine. But the find my iphone service cant seem to reach my iphone; for location or to send a message to it.

    I have signal, battery, wifi and 3G connection issue after I upgrade to 4.3.3. I have been using same jailbreak tool and tweeks that I'm using. I never had these issues. I'm going to restore the phone without backup and jailbreak to check if the issues still exist.

    Im fully updated and jailbroken with a ton of cydia apps and my I-4 is just fine. No wifi issues or signal. Maybe people who are suffering these issues should just do a clean restore and then go from there. Its a pain but it should work.

    i've been having this problem too, but with me its not just wifi is ANY connection. It will say no signal when i know i'm in a good service area. I ended up downgrading back to 4.2.1 just to avoid this issue
