Hi have iphone 4s factory unlocked wifi greyed out.. need permanent fix pls

have iphone 4s factory unlocked wifi greyed out.. need permanent fix tried everything but not working... what would e the cost of repair ??

It has no correlation.  You do not have to have an Apple ID in order house an iPhone.  An Apple ID is only needed to use iCloud and iTunes & App Store on an iPhone.  You can have an iPhone set up as new, no user data whatsoever, and still connect to wi-fi. 
Making a new Apple ID had nothing to do with fixing the wi-fi on your iPhone.  It's like saying that putting a new driver into a car suddenly fixed the transmission problem.

    What do you mean by Factory unlock ?
    Unlocked iPhones are either sold by Apple with no carrier lock or the original carrier  has agreed to unlock the iPhone from their network

    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up

    Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

    This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
    My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

    Does any 1 have a idea that when would Iphone 5 Factory Unlocked be available in USA? Or On Apple site?

  • HT4623 I have an Iphone 4s factory unlocked. I got At&t again and after updating to iOS 6.0 my iphone its not working propertly.

    I have an Iphone 4s factory unlocked. I got At&t again and after updating to iOS 6.0 my iphone its not working propertly. I dont have the carriers option nor Im able to face time using cellular data. Any suggestions!?

    Do you have an AT&T carrier file number showing? The only time you can use Facetime on AT&T cellular is if you are using one of their Shared Data plans. While they have not locked your phone, it appears their carrier file is in control of your device when you have the AT&T SIM card in there.

  • Is it worth paying to have iphone 4s fixed after wifi greyed out

    Hi all my iphone 4s isnt connecting to wifi greyed out  since updating ios7 tryed all troubleshooting tips etc its 15 mths old so not covered but after contacting apple i can send it for repair for €211 this seems harsh seens its their fault issue only started due to the update have read why , read loads discussions and so many with same problem So have repair set up is it even worth it  or as anyone done this what was outcome ??

    Some folks think the problem is due to poor solder connections of the WiFi chip on the card. Heating may expand the joints to cause temporary connectivity. The chip itself could be of low tolerance, and the iOS update causes it to fail the threshold. If you have tried the software resets, then the cure is to reflow the solder of the chip to the WiFi card, or to replace the WiFi card. Apple will not "own" this problem, even though it seems to be widespread. Apple offers to renew your contract for a new iPhone at $199. Certain repair shops will tackle this problem, although many local shops will not. In the US try iFix Miami Beach. See them on eBay <http://www.ebay.com/itm/iPhone-4S-Grayed-Out-Wifi-Wireless-Fix-Repair-Service-Tr usted-Specialists-/161160765436?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1120> for a $69 fix. They fixed my iPhone 4S and returned within a week (even over the Memorial Day holiday weekend). In Europe, I have read about, but have not tried PodMod <http://www.podmod.org> Hope this helps.

    ok so the store I bought this from totally misrepresented it..I never got certification that it was factory unlocked ..thanks for your input ... it makes sense now ... it was a verizon phone to begin with from what I understand ..

  • TS4268 If i bought an iphone in UAE & use it in US later does face time will work or i have to change my iphone (my iphone is factory unlock)

    If i bought an iphone in UAE & use it in US later does face time will work or i have to change my iphone (my iphone is factory unlock)

    No. FaceTime will not be available on devices bought in UAE. Moving to another location will not change this as the function is removed at the hardware level.

  • Iphone 5C wifi greyed out and screen going crazy

    Hi I bought my iPhone back in October in Us from Tmobile, since December the wifi greyed out and hasn't worked once (been living on data) now recently the screen goes crazy, it types by its self unlocks the phone (dont have a password) sometimes calls people etc... now the thing is I recently moved to Dubai and I cant go to a apple store as we do not have one here, so could I ship my phone to States and have apple repair it or give me a replacement if I pay for their shipping costs back to Dubai ? Thanks for any help I can get

    If not jailbroken, restore the iOS. Most likely there is a hardware problem
    The warranty is valid only in the USA.  Apple will not accept shipment from or ship to any address outside the USA for this phone.

  • How to Setup and activate new iphone 5 factory unlocked

    "Activation failed"
    "Please dissconnect and insert a SIM Card in the iphone"

    Plz help me
    Regards
    Adnan

    "Do i really need a sim to activate my phone."
    Yes.
    "cant i use my phone for browsing on wifi without sim ?"
    A new iphone will not do anything until you have activated with a carrier.

  • IPhone 4 Factory Unlock Approved by AT&T but I need a little help

    Today I contacted AT&T to get my wife's iPhone 4 Factory Unlocked (version: 4.3.5 firmware: 04.10.01) and I met all the requirements for getting it unlocked but the Tech Agent from AT&T said that in order for the Factory Unlock to be completed I would have to plug in the phone to iTunes and do a Backup & Restore to complete the process.
    I went to do this but before proceeding iTunes said that if I completed the process that the Restore would install iOS 5 on my wife's phone which she would prefer not to do if it were possible.
    I have always had a problem with iTunes.  Everytime I back it up it seems like I either loose pictures, or movies, or Apps or something and so I am hesitant to even touch iTunes let alone upgrade to iOS 5 on her phone.
    I am hoping that someone can teach me how to use iTunes properly or point me to a video series that would explain all the ins and outs of the various versions of iTunes so that I can learn it lock stock and barrel or that someone will help me understand how to complete this factory unlock effectively.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    Thank you ever so much!  It worked.  iTunes congradulated me on my iPhone being Factory Unlocked!  Now it brings me to my next question.  My wife wants to use the phone on T Mobile.  If she wants to do this do I follow iTunes suggestion to "Set Up as New iPhone" or do I follow the option to "Restore from iTunes Backup"?
    I'm guessing that if I Set Up as New iPhone that she will loose all her apps and such.  But if that is what is needed so that it will work on other GSM providers then that is what I will do for her. 
    However if the Backup option will allow her to keep everything she has on the phone and still use it on any GSM network that she would like then I will do that.
    I respect your advice and follow it.  You have led me right thus far.  Thanks a Billion.
