First of all, if 3G is displayed in addition to WiFi with no bars this usually means your WiFi is down or very weak. As for getting some notifications/some things working and others are not, do you by any chance don't allow things like mail to work via 3G? Two things come to mind: 1. Have you added any other wireless devices to your network? I once had a situation at my business where no matter what I did my WiFi was horrible both in terms of signal strength and even when connected in terms of speed. I had a pretty high-end router, ended up buying another newer one, then bought a separate and expensive wireless access point and nothing helped. Eventually I for some reason took away this Creative wireless soundcard I had. It consisted of a unit which gets connected to a computer via USB and which contained a transmitter, then you could have multiple receivers connected to a set of powered speakers. I had this connected to my server in a small room where I kept it along with all my networking gear and I Had a receiver set up in my office about 30 or 40 feet away. Anyhow, to say no more, as soon as I disconnected this wireless sound card/transmitter and the corresponding receivers suddenly my WiFi worked flawlessly almost everywhere in my 4,000 square foot retail store which consists of two levels of 2,000 square feet each. I just never even thought this could be the reason and it taught me that any wireless devices can interfere although this was still in the days of 2.4 Ghz. The second thing I would do is to check your router. Do you have your own or is it provided by your internet provider? If it's your own I would make sure the firmware is up to date and at least I would reboot the router if you haven't done so yet. Have you ever had a chance to connect to the WiFi of a friend or family member to see if it works better there?

It has been happening for fiew months now. I cann't find any pattern or specific conditions that cause it. No specific dates,, days, time or actions on my behalf. It runs from fiew hours to about two days. Here it is. Usually I have WiFi and 3G on. If the phone uses WiFi, it shows the network name and strenght. If on 3G, it shows it on the status bar. Something happens and I see 3g and the WiFi network name without its strenght. I don't have WiFi Assist on. And the strange thing is that I receive notifications from Messanger and Skype, I have Siri working, But I can't check for email or open any web site. If I ask Siri something, she tells me what she finds on the web, but if I try to open it from its windows or from Safari, I get "your iPhone is not connected to the internet" message. It is really, really annoying. I have cleared the app switcher, rebooted the phone, made the hard reset with home and power buttons, reset my network settings, reset all settings, changed the DNS server, but none of these helped. The only thing I haven't tried is to reset as a new device, but setting it all to my liking takes me more than a day, and I don't have such free time. I use iPhone SE 64GB, iOS 11.0.1. The problem appeared in iOS 10.3.2 so I don't think it is OS version specific. Anyone with such problem or good advice?
