As of today Iphone 4S wifi wont turn on, stays gray. IOS 6.1.3

Most likely it's a hardware failure if it's both WiFi and BlueTooth. There are some strange suggestions to try; if these don't work take it to an Apple store for exchange. If it's out of warranty it will cost $199.
Turn off Cellular Data, reboot the phone. try to turn on WiFi.
Put it in a ziplock bag with the air squeezed out, then in a freezer for 15 minutes (yes, this is not a joke).
The opposite: Heat it with a hair dryer for a couple of minutes.
All of these have worked for someone, but not for most.

  • TS1559 my wifi wont turn on, stays grey.Rebooted,restarted, restored.. any suggestions

    My wifi will not turn on, stays grey. Rebooted,restored and restarted. Any suggestions?

    Everything in that article is prior to restoring as new.  If the OP has already restored as new, none of the steps in that article will really matter.  This is a known issue in a small percentage of iPhones. 
    Also, the OP linked to this forum FROM that article you quoted.  However, in the future, if the OP has not tried anything, and hasn't linked from that article, definitely refer them to that article.

  • My Iphone 4s wifi wont turn on.

    When I check Settings> General> About the wifi was under N/A, I've tried to reset my newtwork settings and that hasn't worked. Also the bluetooth will not load.

    Most likely your WiFi chip is faulty and there is no fix. Restore your iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if the Restore fixes it. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

    wifi wont turn on on iphone

    took it to my carrier and the tech guy said that he has seen a couple of cases already after the 6.1, 6.1.1, and 6.1.2 updates.  There is no fix on the software side since Apple does not acknowledge the issue at all (they make you think you are the moron and not them).  The carrier's only recommendation to solve the issue is to buy a new phone! w.t.f....thanks Apple. Now I have to buy a new phone to get the WiFi function back???? just called Apple and since I am over the warranty period by 39 days I am s.o.l.  On the bright side, the 6.1.2 did solve my battery drain problem.

    If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced.
    You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).
    For example, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj10bz5bI6A
    Root cause: On some iPhone 4s devices there may be a flow soldering problem with the WiFi chip. After long periods of WiFi activity such as installing an iOS update (for example, iOS 7 or iOS 8) there may be a connection failure. A work-around to this is the procedure in the youTube video.

  • TS1559 wifi wont turn on grayed out

    My wifi wont turn on grayed out or dim
    any suggestions

    Use this article: support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    Follow all of the troubleshooting steps.  You can even try restoring the device as new: support.apple.com/kb/ht4137
    If the wi-fi remains greyed out, your device needs service.
    If within warranty, it should be free.
    If not, it will probably cost $199 USD + tax.
